The viral case of the “Cornell 7” likely won't even make it to trial, but that hasn't stopped the court of public opinion from delivering a scathing guilty verdict. A brief look at the evidence, however, points to a completely different story. ‘FOX & Friends' co-host Lawrence Jones and former judge and comedian Vince August join Will to break down what happens when mass internet hysteria meets the courtroom, and examine the newly unveiled text messages that tear a glaring hole in Jane Doe's claims.Subscribe to ‘Will Cain Country' on YouTube here: Watch Will Cain Country!Follow ‘Will Cain Country' on X (@willcainshow), Instagram (@willcainshow), TikTok (@willcainshow), and Facebook (@WillCainNews)Follow Will on X: @WillCain Learn more about your ad choices.

Short and SweetBefore anyone books you, they stalk you. They spend 10 to 30 seconds on your website or LinkedIn to see if you look legit, current, and worth a call. John DeMato used to be the guy who hated being in front of a camera. Now he helps experts make sure those 30 seconds work in their favor.In this episode, John walks through the whole system: the strategy call he runs before every shoot (and why he won't open your mood board), the three kinds of photos in a visual authority library, how to audit every place your images live, and the event photos almost every speaker forgets to get.Full Show NotesMost speakers treat photos like throw pillows. Nice to have, a little decorative, swapped out when they start looking tired.John DeMato treats them like the rebar in the foundation. John left the TV business (including a stint on Maury) to become a headshot photographer in New York City. For his first two years, his own face never showed up on social media once. He's now a personal brand photographer for speakers, coaches, and consultants, and he's spent a career learning why photos aren't a vanity project. They're about the person on the other side of the screen deciding whether to trust you.This isn't a "go get new headshots" episode. It's a system. Decide how you want to be seen, build a library that shows it, and audit every place those images live.What we get into:The quick scan every buyer does before they call, and what they're checking forWhy photos get you in the door, but your IP, testimonials, and sales conversations keep you in the houseThe pre-session call and the two questions that become the North Star for a shootThe three categories of a visual authority library: core assets, visual evidence, and the missing detailsWhy smartphone photos of the messy desk and the moment before a keynote matter as much as the polished onesHow to audit your images, starting with your website and social profiles, then moving to your one sheet, PDFs, and coursesHow to tell when it's time for a new branding session, no calendar requiredThe event photos speakers forget: before, during, and after the stageWhy a testimonial paired with a photo of you hugging that client is a money pieceFind John at johndemato.com or on LinkedIn, and take his free Visual Presence Audit for Experts.
A story about a lesbian bar in Greenfield broke the internet this week. What does it tell us about the future of the Left? Is woke dead? Or did a quirky community story get blown out of proportion? Governor Maura Healey seems overly anxious about her MAGA-adjacent challenger Mike Minogue. Then, the politics panel discusses two key Senate races in New England. PLUS an exclusive interview with Congressman Seth Moulton about his big primary loss against Senator Ed Markey. Email us at saymore@globe.com
Mass deportations were one of the central promises that helped propel Republicans to victory—but is the administration doing enough to deliver? Tomi Lahren sits down with former ICE Chief of Staff Jason Killmeyer to discuss the confusion surrounding immigration enforcement, the need for large-scale deportations, worksite enforcement, voter frustration, and why the future of the Republican Party—and the rise of socialism—could depend on what happens next.

No 3 em 1 desta quarta-feira (30), o destaque foi que a Polícia Federal decidiu abrir um inquérito para investigar os ataques registrados contra imagens religiosas. A apuração foi instaurada após solicitação do ministro Flávio Dino, que citou episódios de violência e vandalismo ocorridos em sete estados. A investigação busca identificar os responsáveis pelos atos enquadrados como intolerância religiosa. O Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) analisa a remoção de publicações nas redes sociais relacionadas a Nossa Senhora Aparecida. No julgamento da matéria, o ministro André Mendonça votou a favor de manter os conteúdos fora do ar. A decisão integra o conjunto de deliberações da Corte sobre limites e moderação de publicações no ambiente digital. Reportagem: Bruno Pinheiro. O evento Maximídia promove debates sobre os novos rumos do marketing e do mercado de comunicação, reunindo executivos e profissionais do setor. Durante a cobertura do encontro de lideranças, o repórter Daniel Lian conversou com Manu Carvalho e Fernando Rocha, que estão no stand especial da Jovem Pan. Reportagem: Daniel Lian. O senador e candidato à Presidência Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) monitora o julgamento no Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) sobre a remoção de publicações referentes a Nossa Senhora Aparecida, antes de sua participação no debate eleitoral da TV Globo. A votação na Corte está temporariamente em 3 a 0, após os ministros Dias Toffoli e Nunes Marques acompanharem o voto de André Mendonça para manter os conteúdos fora do ar. Restam os votos de outros quatro ministros para a conclusão da análise. Reportagem: Karine Hillary. A campanha do presidente Lula (PT) confirmou que o candidato à reeleição não participará do debate presidencial promovido pela TV Globo nesta quinta-feira (1º). A decisão mantém a estratégia adotada pelo candidato durante os encontros televisivos do primeiro turno. Uma nova pesquisa do Meio/Ideia mostra um cenário de empate técnico entre o presidente Lula (PT) e o senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) no primeiro e no segundo turno da eleição presidencial. Na simulação de primeiro turno, o petista registra 39,4% das intenções de voto, enquanto o parlamentar soma 38,4%. Em uma eventual segunda etapa, Lula pontua 48,5% contra 48% de Flávio. O levantamento também indica que, em um segundo turno, o atual presidente herda alguns votos do candidato Augusto Cury. A Justiça cobrou do governo federal a apresentação de dados detalhados sobre os custos e atendimentos do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) relacionados a pessoas afetadas pela dependência em apostas eletrônicas. O advogado José Frederico Manssur analisa os desdobramentos jurídicos da determinação. O presidente Lula (PT) afirmou ter dito ao presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, para não intervir no processo eleitoral brasileiro de 2026. Apesar do alerta sobre a não interferência externa, o petista destacou que mantém uma relação de respeito mútuo com o líder americano. Reportagem: Matheus Dias. O ex-banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro prestou depoimento à Polícia Federal no âmbito das investigações do Caso Master. Durante a oitiva, o fundador da instituição financeira negou ter ordenado atos de violência ou contratado o grupo conhecido como “A Turma” para intimidar pessoas vistas como adversárias.

What are the right opening hours for your shop, and what should you actually be using to make that decision?Hi, I'm retail strategist and founder of Resilient Retail Club, Catherine Erdly.This episode is brought to you by our sponsor Capify - business funding made simple. Find out more at capify.comEarlier this year I visited Jedburgh and Kelso in the Scottish Borders for my A to Z of independent retail, and I made a very London-centric mistake. I went on a Sunday. The cafes were open, the chains were open, and between the two towns I found exactly one independent shop open. When I shared it on Instagram, it started one of the liveliest conversations I've had all year. Should independent shops open on Sundays? Is it worth opening if the footfall isn't there? Do customers now expect you to be open seven days a week?So rather than tell you what I think, I asked eight independent shopkeepers how they actually decide their opening hours, and their answers couldn't be more different. One owner cut her week from six days to four and saw her sales go up. Another went to seven days a week and has just moved into bigger premises. One closes on Mondays because the whole village does. Another stays open on the afternoon her neighbours shut. You'll hear all of them in their own words, from Peckham to Pembrokeshire and Bantry to Lyme Regis.By the end of the episode you'll know what to weigh up before you change your hours, why one quiet Tuesday tells you far less than you think, and the one thing all eight shopkeepers agreed on, whatever days they choose to open. If you've ever stood in an empty shop wondering whether it was worth unlocking the door today, or you're deciding what to do over Christmas, this one's for you.Chapters00:00 Why I found just one independent shop open on a Sunday01:51 Consistency, the rhythm of your town and trial and error06:24 Who covers the hours, and what the numbers actually say10:26 When the decision goes beyond the numbersResources and linksFree Christmas guide and week-by-week planner: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/christmasEpisode 321, Retail Christmas Forecast: What the Summer Numbers Really Tell Us: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast-episode/uk-retail-sales-summer-2026/Tell me your opening hours on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilientretailclub/All episodes of the Resilient Retail Game Plan: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast/Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/catherineerdlyMentioned in this episode:Capify

Daily Boost Podcast You Are in Charge September 30, 2026 | Episode 5553 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Change happens every day, whether you like it or not. Sometimes it happens to you. Sometimes you make it happen. And sometimes you change for the worse before you change for the better. After 20 years of coaching, I've noticed people change when they finally wear themselves out. They hit the that's-it moment. I'm done. I'm out of here. Then comes frustration, and it turns out frustration is your friend. It pushes you toward the one answer nobody else can hand you. You're the boss of you. Stand up, take a step, and repeat. Featured Story Brittany told me something last week that made me laugh. She said, " You did your job too good, man. And then she fired me. I'm proud of her, so I'll use her name. When we started, she was waiting for someone else to hand her the answer, me included. We worked through the frustration together, the days she wanted to quit and the days she was mad at me. Then one day she took control. Boom. The first thing she did with that control was let me go. That's graduation day. It happens to me all the time, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Important Points * Change usually shows up after you wear yourself out repeating the same behavior and getting the same unwanted result. * Frustration isn't a sign you're failing. It's the push that moves you past waiting on others to hand you the answers. * A plan from a chatbot at 3 a.m. is easy. The real work starts when you step out into the world and make it happen. Memorable Quotes * When you understand that the only person who can give you your dreams is you, your dreams become real. Magic happens. * You are already meant to be a certain person. You already have everything you need to get there. Just accept it. * I'm going to stand up, take a step, and repeat, repeat, repeat. That's the world's simplest success recipe. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Name the behavior you keep repeating that keeps giving you a result you don't want, and admit you've worn yourself out. * Decide that's it, you're done, and write down the smallest roadmap step you can take this week in the new direction. * Stand up, take that step, and repeat it daily, using your frustration as fuel instead of a reason to hand the work off.

Get in touch - leave me a messageFor years, renewable natural gas had a basic problem in heavy-duty trucking: it lacked a 15-litre engine capable of doing the work fleets expect from diesel. That barrier is disappearing. The harder question now is whether the economics and infrastructure stack up.My guest is Scott Brinner, Executive Vice President of RNG Solutions at NoPetro Energy, who works across RNG production, fuelling and fleet deployment. We look at the real decision facing operators: can fuel savings overcome a $70,000–$90,000 truck premium without creating new operational risk?We examine why high-mileage, return-to-base fleets may be the strongest early fit, what fuelling and maintenance infrastructure can quietly derail adoption, and why the climate case depends on feedstock, methane leakage and lifecycle accounting—not the label on the pump. We also test where RNG belongs alongside battery-electric trucking rather than treating every route as the same problem.Listen now to understand where renewable natural gas can genuinely work in heavy-duty trucking—and what fleets need to prove before scaling it.Sign up to Climate Confident+ for deep dive analysis of the major climate and energy stories of the day.Support the showPodcast subscribersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers:Anita KrajncCecilia SkarupaBen GrossJerry SweeneyAndreas WernerStephen CarrollRoger ArnoldAnd remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.

In this special edition episode of This Week in Global Development, sponsored by Public Digital, Devex's Alan Robbins sits down with Public Digital's Lauren Kahn and Mike Bracken CBE. Recorded at Devex Impact House during UNGA, they unpack the urgent need for emerging economies to transition from passive "tech-takers" to active "tech-makers" by reclaiming digital sovereignty. The conversation explores how developing nations can avoid the developmental risks of vendor lock-in, shape local digital ecosystems, and build resilient digital public infrastructure (DPI). Kahn and Bracken highlight practical steps for governments to move from traditional aid to strategic agency, leveraging open standards and investing in internal civil service capabilities to ensure critical systems can survive future crises. Dive deeper into these frameworks in Public Digital's newly released book, Digital Sovereignty: The Power to Decide: https://public.digital/pd-books/digital-sovereignty-the-power-to-decide

What does courage look like when there is no guarantee that a decision will work?In this fifth video essay from She Leads the Way: What Women Leaders Teach Us About the Leadership Higher Education Needs Now, Melissa Morriss-Olson draws from conversations with five women leaders who made consequential choices without the comfort of certainty.Kate Smith recalls the night she stood alone after speaking up at a campus forum. Carol Christ describes moving forward with plans to build student housing on People's Park at Berkeley despite intense opposition. Pat McGuire reflects on opening Trinity Washington University to students from the city'spublic schools, even as critics accused her of abandoning the institution's mission.Lisa Vollendorf shares what she learned while leading through devastating wildfires at Sonoma State University. Lori Carrell remembers leaving a safe and familiar teaching position, buying a truck, and driving the Alcan Highway alone toward an uncertain future.Their decisions were different, but they shared the same leadership discipline: moving before certainty arrived and accepting responsibility for what followed.At a time when higher education's old playbooks no longer provide reliable answers, waiting can feel prudent. But delay is also a decision, and sometimes it is the more dangerous one.Read the full essay, “Decide, Not Delay”:https://ingeniousleadership.org/Hear the full conversations:Kate SmithCarol ChristPatricia McGuireLisa VollendorfLori CarrellAs Melissa concludes:“Courage in higher education right now rarely looks like certainty. The old maps for a lot of these calls don't exist anymore, and waiting for one to appear is its own kind of choice, usually the wrong one.”Decide, not delay.She Leads the Way: What Women Leaders Teach Us About the Leadership Higher Education Needs Now is coming soon from IngenioUs Leadership Press and will be available on Amazon.About the seriesShe Leads the Way brings together ideas and voices from Melissa's conversations with more than thirty women presidents and senior leaders featured on the IngenioUs podcast.

Caleb Flynn has been convicted on all nine counts submitted to the jury in the killing of his wife, Ashley Flynn. Jurors deliberated for 2 hours, 25 minutes and 12 seconds before finding him guilty of aggravated murder, three murder counts, two felonious-assault counts and three counts of tampering with evidence.The verdict closes the central factual fight that defined the trial. Flynn said Ashley was killed by an intruder during a home invasion at their Tipp City home. Prosecutors said Flynn was the person who killed her on February 16, 2026, and staged the house to support the burglary story. His attorneys argued investigators focused on him too quickly and emphasized the absence of a recovered murder weapon and other direct forensic evidence. The jury still returned guilty verdicts across the board on the charges it received.Flynn originally faced 11 counts, but Judge Jeannine Pratt dismissed two misdemeanor intimidation counts before the case went to the jury. That left nine counts for deliberation, and the verdict was guilty on all nine. Sentencing is set for October 5, 2026, at 3:00 PM EDT.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if the reason you're not getting the opportunities you know you're capable of isn't because you're being overlooked—but because you're underexposed?In Part 3 of the Icon Series, Allison Walsh breaks down the “visibility gap”: the space between what you're capable of and what other people actually know to call you for.For many high-achieving women, expertise isn't the problem. You've built the experience. You've created results. You've developed ideas worth sharing. But your message, visibility, and platform may not have caught up to the woman you've become.In this episode, Allison shares how to close the clarity, evidence, repetition, invitation, and identity gaps that can keep brilliant women from becoming known for their expertise. She also shares her own story of how years of visible contribution created an unexpected career opportunity—and why visibility isn't vanity when it gives meaningful work somewhere further to travel.You'll learn how to:• Decide what you want to be known for• Develop a clear point of view around your expertise• Build and communicate proof of your authority• Use repetition to build reputation equity• Create a platform strategy without being everywhere• Make clearer invitations for people to hire, refer, invite, or work with you• Stop confusing being new to visibility with being new to your expertiseYou don't need to become louder everywhere. You need to become clearer and more intentional in the right places.Because visibility without positioning creates attention. Visibility plus positioning creates opportunity. About the ICON SeriesICON stands for Intention, Create, Own, Next—a series about intentionally creating your next incredible chapter.This episode is Part Two, focused on CREATE and the process of turning your experience, expertise, and lessons into something that creates value, impact, and opportunity.In the next episode, Allison will explore what it means to OWN your value and close the visibility gap between what you're capable of and what the world knows to call you for.

Most leaders who carry everything already know they're doing it. Alli Murphy did. Four years ago on this show, she named her own patterns, from perfectionism to finding it easier to advocate for her team than for herself. She had a coach. It still nearly broke her. Alli is back to talk about what finally changed. She describes becoming what she calls the Chief Everything Officer, the leader that every decision and fire drill runs through. Then came the weekend a friend joked to her husband on a chairlift that Alli must be a figment of his imagination, since nobody had ever met her. She explains why "just say no" advice falls flat for leaders who were rewarded for the opposite, and why she runs mini-experiments instead, such as a week with no Slack or email in the first hour of the day. She also shares the question her coach asked that she couldn't answer: "What's your definition of enough for a workday?" For HR leaders who are a one-person department, Alli gets practical. List everything you own and question what's only there out of habit. Decide what enough looks like. Use a shutdown ritual so tomorrow starts with a plan instead of an inbox. About our guest Alli Murphy is a leadership coach and speaker who helps women directors and above step out of the Chief Everything Officer role. Through her business, Work & Thrive HQ, she runs The Elevate Lab, a 90-day coaching program, and a free community called the Non-Negotiables Club.

What happens when you stop running from the things that hurt you and finally turn around to face them? At just 20 years old, Lawrence C. Harris has already lived through severe bullying, childhood abuse, mental health challenges, and experiences that forced him to grow up much sooner than he should have. For years, the effects showed up in ways he didn't always recognize, from emotional distance and unhealthy relationships to spending hours behind a screen simply to avoid being alone with his thoughts. In this episode, Lawrence joins Chuck to share how therapy, journaling, honest self-reflection, and learning to sit with uncomfortable emotions helped him begin working through his past instead of continuing to run from it. He opens up about setting boundaries with his father, learning to forgive without allowing someone back into his life, and recognizing the difference between who he used to be and who he is choosing to become. Lawrence also challenges us to look at the ways we distract ourselves from what may be happening beneath the surface. His message is especially powerful for young people, but it applies at any age: you cannot change what happened to you, but you can decide what you do with your life from here. Guest Bio Lawrence C. Harris is a youth speaker who helps teens and young adults believe in themselves, think differently about their future, and make better choices. Growing up, Lawrence faced serious challenges including mental health struggles, bullying, childhood abuse, and autism. Those experiences inspired him to begin speaking so other young people would know they are not alone and understand that their past does not have to determine where their life goes. Today, Lawrence shares the lessons and tools that helped him move forward, encouraging young people to take ownership of their future, work through difficult emotions, and believe that their lives can get better. You'll hear About How bullying and childhood abuse affected Lawrence's mental health at a young age Why journaling and therapy became important parts of processing his past How distraction can keep us from recognizing what we are really trying to avoid Why forgiveness does not mean excusing someone's behavior or removing your boundaries How to separate who you used to be from the person you are choosing to become Chapters 00:00 Lawrence's Mission to Help Young People 02:30 Growing Up With Bullying and Abuse 05:15 Accepting What Happened and Taking Ownership of His Future 09:45 Therapy, Journaling, and Working Through Trauma 16:00 The Light at the End of the Tunnel 19:15 What Happens When We Keep Running From Our Pain 23:30 Are You Having Fun or Avoiding What You Feel? 28:45 The Moment Lawrence Knew Something Had to Change 32:00 Leaving the Old Version of Yourself Behind 37:00 Forgiveness Without Sacrificing Your Boundaries 43:00 Taking Back Ownership of Your Life 47:00 What Lawrence Would Say to Someone Who Feels Stuck 53:00 Chuck's Challenge Chuck's Challenge This week, Chuck is taking Lawrence up on one of the most practical ideas from their conversation: sit in silence for one full hour and pay attention to what comes up. No phone. No television. No music. No distractions. Instead of immediately reaching for something to fill the silence, notice your thoughts. What keeps coming up? Is there something you've been avoiding, suppressing, or distracting yourself from? Chuck's challenge is not just to notice it, but to identify something that needs your attention and begin working through it. Connect with Lawrence C.

Building Resilient Teens: 4 Lessons From an Oak TreeSome trees fall over in a light breeze. Others stand through tornadoes. The difference is underground, and it's the same thing that separates teens who get knocked over by peer pressure and setbacks from the ones who stand strong.When we lived in Phoenix, the smallest gust of wind would knock trees flat. Their roots stayed near the surface chasing water and never went deep enough to hold. In Oklahoma, where I grew up, the oaks stand through straight-line winds and tornadoes.On a walk this week I started thinking about oak trees, and how much they can teach teenagers (and the rest of us) about resilience and growth. Here are the four lessons:Dig your roots deep. Decide your values and standards before the wind comes. When your foundation is set, peer pressure, temptation, and other people's opinions can't uproot you.Bend, don't break. The roots hold the tree steady while the branches move with the wind. Never adapt your values, but be willing to adapt your approach. There's rarely one right way. Ask yourself: what's the next best thing I can do?Lose your leaves. This year I cut too many branches off the tree in our backyard and shocked it. It started dropping leaves everywhere to protect its base. Growth asks you to let go too: of some friendships, habits, or environments. You have to let go so you can grow.Ask for support. When we plant a new tree, we stake it with rebar and rope so it grows straight while its roots take hold. Asking for help gets harder when you're a teenager building your own identity, and it doesn't get easier as an adult. But you aren't meant to do this alone. Your circle doesn't just raise your ceiling. It raises your floor. And sometimes you need to find a new circle.Whether you're a teenager, a student leader, a parent, or an entrepreneur, nature has a lot to teach us about growing strong enough for the real storms.Which of the four do you need most right now? Tell me on Instagram. I'd love to support you.Do the three S's:Subscribe wherever you're listeningShare this with one other personStars - leave a five-star rating.

In this episode of Breaking Mindset Barriers, Sandeep Ohri explores one of the biggest challenges young leaders face: navigating uncertainty without falling into analysis paralysis.When information is incomplete, the instinct is often to wait, gather more data, and search for certainty. But in real world leadership, complete information rarely exists. The real question is not whether you have enough information for a perfect decision, but whether you have enough to make a reasonable one.Sandeep breaks down three practical frameworks for navigating uncertainty: the Information Sufficiency Threshold, the Risk Assessment Matrix, and the Reversible Decision Framework.Learn how to recognize the cost of waiting, distinguish between reversible and irreversible decisions, build review points into your choices, and move forward without needing complete certainty.Because uncertainty isn't a problem to be eliminated. It's a condition to be navigated.Decide. Adjust. Lead.

But you can't take a week off. Every important decision comes back to you. And somewhere along the way, you stopped thinking about what the business could become and started focusing on getting through the day.In this episode, Tom Reber explains how a contractor can build a successful business and still feel miserable and trapped inside it.The usual scoreboard measures revenue, trucks, and head count. It doesn't tell you whether the business pays you well for the roles you're filling, gives you a life outside of work, or can function when you step away.In this episode:Three signs you may be trapped in the business you builtWhy a business that can't run for a week without you has a serious problemHow you can be the highest paid employee and the lowest paid ownerWhy being great at your trade can lead to years of reacting instead of buildingHow to define what you need the business to pay you and how much time you're willing to give itWhich roles to start moving off your plateWhy healthy margins give you room to make those changesChapters:00:00 — You hit the goal, so why do you feel trapped?01:56 — Sign #1: The business can't run a week without you02:47 — Sign #2: You're the highest paid employee and lowest paid owner03:40 — Sign #3: You stopped imagining what's next04:14 — How you became the person who solves everything05:35 — Successful, miserable, trapped06:03 — Decide what the business is for06:24 — Decide which roles you'll leave06:47 — Fix the margins that make change possible08:40 — Your business doesn't have to be a life sentenceYour challenge:Write down two things: what you need this business to put in your pocket and how many hours you're willing to work.Then look at the roles you're filling right now.

Twelve years ago, George drove six and a half hours to volunteer inside a maximum security prison in the California desert.He walked in stressed about a business problem. He walked out standing on a blue line alongside a man serving a life sentence: a man with nearly the same story, just different circumstances.That day broke something open. This episode is the implementation guide for it.This is the follow-up to Episode 736 with Lucy Cullen. George pulls three distinct frameworks from that conversation and turns them into a practical guide: how to predecide your identity before bias hits, how to use your why as a filter for good opportunities, and what unconditional positive regard actually costs when you skip it.What You'll Learn In This Episode:Why you have to decide who you are before the room does, not inside itHow to navigate bias without just developing a thick skinThe decision filter: using your why to evaluate opportunities, not just threatsWhat unconditional positive regard actually is and why it starts before you meet anyoneThe blue line exercise from the prison program and what it revealedThree scripture passages that anchor all three frameworksKey Takeaways:✔️If you do not decide who you are in advance, the next room, person, or meeting will decide for you. Then you spend the rest of that interaction reacting to a judgment made in three seconds.✔️Pre-deciding identity is not about confidence. Confidence wavers. Identity is the thing you return to when confidence is gone.✔️Your why is not only a filter for threats. It is also a filter for good opportunities that are not right for you right now. Chasing the aligned but untimely thing still costs you the thing that actually matters.✔️Name the bias before it hits. Decide what you will tolerate, what your boundary is, and exactly what you will do if that situation arises. Then you are executing a pre-made decision, not improvising under pressure.✔️Unconditional positive regard is not agreement and not excusing harm. It is a decision you make before you ever meet someone. You decide that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have, as a default, in advance.✔️The practice is hardest with the small stuff. Grace for the person who cut you off in traffic is the actual rep.✔️One decision made three times: who you are before the world decides, what matters before the good opportunity decides, and how you will see others before their worst moment decides.Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — The prison, the blue line, and the man with the same story[01:42] — What Lucy taught George about being underestimated on repeat[06:00] — Part 1: Predecide your identity before bias hits[12:00] — Why this is not about confidence[15:00] — How to install it: name the obstacle before it arrives[20:00] — Part 2: Your why as a decision filter for good opportunities[25:00] — The blue line exercise and what it revealed[28:00] — Part 3: Unconditional positive regard[32:00] — You do not decide in the room. You decide before it.[34:00] — Three Bible verses that anchor the whole framework[35:00] — The one daily practice and George's closing challengeYour Challenge This Week:Once today. Just once. When someone frustrates you, pause and ask: what is actually happening in their day? Can I see this differently?You do not have to feel it.

Eric interviews Alyssa from the Pet Advocacy Network, an organization that represents the interests of pet owners and the professional pet care community. She explains that her primary role involves lobbying government officials to ensure that regulations concerning animals are based on scientific data rather than pure emotion. Throughout the conversation, Alyssa warns against the efforts of activist groups like PETA, who she claims are pushing for broad bans on the sale of all live animals, including fish and birds. The discussion highlights the negative consequences of such bans, such as the potential rise of unregulated black markets and the loss of expert guidance from specialized breeders. Key Takeaways: Sign up for action alerts or join advocacy organizations like the Pet Advocacy Network to stay informed on legislation impacting pet ownership rights. Contact local and state lawmakers to urge that pet care regulations be based on scientific evidence rather than emotional arguments. Purchase pets from regulated, responsible sources like licensed breeders and pet stores that offer expert care guidance and transparent health histories. Establish an emergency disaster plan that includes specific evacuation protocols and supplies for every pet in your household. Commit to lifelong pet care to prevent animal surrenders and protect overall animal welfare.

This week we continue our series on making sure your team is as highly effective as they possibly can be. This week is all about the goals.A company's mission vision and values statements are important to success. In fact, business consultants often start with the mission, vision, and values when working with new clients. They do this for a very simple reason. Creating (or updating) these statements can drive the organization in a new direction. You can use this Mission, Vision, and Values Template to create or update your corporate statements.Many of us use the mission and vision interchangeably. However, the two statements are distinctly different. The Mission Statement focuses on where the organization is right now. In contrast, the Vision Statement creates a picture of the organization's future.The values of your organization, though, are probably more important than even the vision and mission. These values are the criteria that you use to make decisions within your organization.If you wanted to take a trip in a car, the vision would be the destination. The mission would be the vehicle. Finally, the values would be the directions or the road map to get there. So, you can see that each of the three is important to get to the end goal. Without the destination, we have no way of knowing if we are moving toward our goal. In addition, without the right vehicle, the journey will be more challenging. Then, of course, without a map, your journey can have a lot of wasted effort.Show Notes: Mission, Vision, and Values Template and Examples(https://www.leadersinstitute.com/mission-vision-and-values-template-and-examples/)

Supporters of Question 3 say it would make statewide elections more competitive and give voters more choice. Opponents of the initiative say it would do just the opposite.

Episode Description:A good outcome does not necessarily mean you made a good decision.And a bad outcome does not necessarily mean you made a bad one.That distinction is at the heart of James's conversation with Annie Duke, former professional poker player and author of Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts.Poker gave Annie an unusually intense laboratory for studying uncertainty. You can make exactly the right decision and lose money. You can make a terrible decision and win. If you judge yourself only by the result, you may reinforce bad habits, discard good strategies, and learn the wrong lesson entirely.James connects this immediately to business, investing, comedy, relationships, and his own experience selling a company during the dot-com boom. When things work out, people naturally want to take credit. When things go badly, they naturally want to blame luck.Both reactions interfere with learning.Annie argues that one of the most valuable skills is learning to separate what you controlled from what you did not. Instead of asking only, “Did I win?” ask whether the process that produced the result was sound.The conversation then becomes an exploration of how to learn faster.Annie says one of the best shortcuts is to “borrow other people's 10,000 hours.” When she entered professional poker, her brother had already spent years around players like Erik Seidel and Dan Harrington. Instead of rediscovering everything through expensive trial and error, Annie entered a community that had already spent thousands of hours thinking about the game.But being around experts is not enough.You have to know how to talk to them. You have to communicate the relevant details. You have to remove the outcome when asking for advice so it does not bias the conversation. And you have to find people willing to challenge you instead of simply confirming what you already believe.Annie describes three essential commitments for a strong decision-making group: a commitment to accuracy, accountability for your beliefs, and openness to dissent.James and Annie also explore the role of teaching. Annie says her own poker game changed dramatically once she had to explain her strategies to students. If you cannot clearly explain why you believe something, you may not understand it nearly as well as you think.The second half of the episode turns toward practical decision-making.Annie explains mental time travel: instead of allowing the emotion of the present moment to dominate a decision, imagine how your future self will view it. A $100 gambling win can feel terrible if you were previously up $2,000, while a $100 loss can feel great if you were previously down $2,000. But one year later, you would simply prefer the $100 win.Perspective changes the decision.James adds his own variation: “situation traveling.” If he cannot see a personal problem clearly, he asks what advice he would give his daughter or how he would handle the same situation in business.They also discuss pre-mortems, negative visualization, planning for obstacles, parenting, “yes, and,” self-serving bias, echo chambers, and the value of saying “I'm not sure.”For Annie, uncertainty is not weakness.It is the beginning of curiosity.And curiosity is what makes learning possible.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode originally centered on the 2018 release of Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts. Annie has since published How to Decide and Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away.The episode uses Nate Silver's 2016 U.S. presidential-election forecast to illustrate probabilistic thinking. FiveThirtyEight's final forecast gave Hillary Clinton roughly a 71% chance and Donald Trump roughly a 29% chance—meaning a Trump victory was less likely in the model, but far from a zero-probability event.What You'll Learn:Why a good outcome does not prove that you made a good decision.Why bad luck can follow a strong decision—and good luck can reward a bad one.Why winning can sometimes make learning harder than losing.How ego interferes with honest feedback.What temporal discounting does to decision-making.Why people prefer certainty even when certainty is impossible.How to “borrow” another person's 10,000 hours.Why community can dramatically accelerate learning.How experts know which details actually matter.Why teaching something can expose weaknesses in your own understanding.How to separate signal from noise when evaluating feedback.Why you should often hide the outcome when asking someone to evaluate a decision.The difference between wanting to be right and wanting to be accurate.Why accountability improves decision quality.How disagreement can make a learning group stronger instead of weaker.Why peer groups can become dangerous echo chambers.How to plan for future obstacles before they appear.What Annie means by mental time travel.How James uses “situation traveling” to make emotionally difficult decisions.Why changing your definition of “winning” can change your behavior.Why Annie deliberately dropped down in stakes when learning a new poker game.How saying “I'm not sure” creates hunger for new information.Why experts tend to be more aware of the limits of their own knowledge.How “yes, and” can help someone reconsider a belief without triggering defensiveness.Why improving your learning process even slightly can compound into enormous gains.Timestamped Chapters:[03:03] Thinking in BetsJames introduces Annie and her framework for making decisions when you do not have all the facts.[05:16] Luck, Skill, and the Stories We Tell OurselvesJames remembers selling a company during the dot-com boom and mistaking a fortunate outcome for evidence that he was a genius.[07:36] Why It's Hard to Learn From WinningAnnie and James discuss the tendency to stop examining your performance when the outcome was good.[09:16] Ego and Temporal DiscountingAnnie explains why humans naturally take credit for good outcomes, blame bad ones on luck, and favor immediate emotional rewards.[11:18] Good Decisions Can FailThe conversation shifts from learning to decision-making and the importance of accepting uncertain outcomes.[13:01] Why We Pay to End UncertaintyJames and Annie discuss business deals, pensions, lotteries, and why people accept large discounts to get certainty now.[14:24] Workshopping the Book in Front of AudiencesAnnie explains how years of speaking helped her turn decision science into stories people could actually use.[17:03] Can You Hack the 10,000-Hour Rule?James asks how Annie went from graduate school to becoming one of the world's best poker players.[18:04] Borrow Someone Else's 10,000 HoursAnnie explains why learning from people who have already accumulated expertise can dramatically shorten your own learning curve.[19:57] The Poker Learning PodAnnie describes the community around her brother, including Erik Seidel and Dan Harrington, and how their thinking accelerated her development.[20:43] Experience Is Necessary, but Not SufficientAnnie argues that putting in hours is not enough; you have to know how to interpret feedback.[23:15] Finding the Right Learning CommunityEven if you cannot immediately surround yourself with world-class experts, Annie says you can identify people who are curious, calm, and committed to improvement.[25:06] Why Teaching Made Annie Better at PokerHaving to explain strategy to beginners forced Annie to discover assumptions she could not actually defend.[26:05] The Truth Can AtrophyAnnie uses John Stuart Mill to explain why even correct beliefs become weaker if you never have to defend them.[30:26] Experts, Peers, and BeginnersJames and Annie identify three valuable learning communities: people ahead of you, people alongside you, and people you can teach.[31:10] How Erik Seidel Taught Annie to ThinkAnnie remembers being told to stop describing a poker hand as “unlucky” and instead provide the details needed to analyze the decision.[33:16] Don't Tell Me How the Hand EndedAnnie explains why knowing an outcome can bias the advice someone gives you.[34:30] Why Headlines Invent ExplanationsJames compares outcome bias to financial headlines that explain a market move after it has already happened.[36:27] The Feedback LoopAnnie describes how expert advice, practice, and immediate feedback can dramatically accelerate learning.[38:50] Virtual Mentors Count TooBooks and other resources can give you access to expert thought processes even when you cannot know the expert personally.[39:31] Peer Groups vs. Echo ChambersAnnie explains why a group of peers is only useful if everyone is genuinely open to disagreement and new information.[43:23] Accuracy, Accountability, and DissentAnnie outlines the three commitments she believes make a strong decision-making group.[45:02] Bets as AccountabilityPutting odds on a belief forces you to clarify how confident you actually are.[47:17] Make the Decision Before the Market CrashesAnnie explains how predetermined rules and accountability partners can prevent emotional reactions from taking over.[48:36] Map the Mines Before You Step on ThemInstead of visualizing only a perfect future, Annie recommends identifying the obstacles and disappointments that could derail you.[50:43] The Backdoor Into an Expert CommunityJames uses Judd Apatow and podcasting to show how creating something can give you a reason to approach experts.[52:25] Start With Three PeopleAnnie explains why community does not need to begin with fame or a large audience.[53:55] Nate Silver and the Meaning of 30 PercentJames and Annie use probabilistic election forecasting to show why people routinely round uncertainty down to zero or up to certainty.[57:29] What Probabilities Are Actually ForAnnie explains how forecasts can help people decide where to spend their time, attention, or resources.[01:00:55] Mental Time TravelAnnie introduces a technique for escaping the emotional intensity of the present moment by asking how your future self will view the decision.[01:01:32] The Blackjack TestWinning $100 after being up $2,000 feels terrible; losing $100 after being down $2,000 feels great. A year later, the preference becomes obvious.[01:05:05] Have a Conversation With Your Future SelfAnnie describes using time travel with her children, while James introduces his own version: “situation traveling.”[01:06:10] A Community of Different Versions of YouJames and Annie expand the idea to future selves, situational selves, and counterfactual versions of yourself.[01:09:31] Redefining WinningInstead of defining winning by whether you made money, Annie suggests defining it by whether you learned.[01:12:00] Drop Down in Stakes to Learn FasterAnnie remembers moving from high-stakes Hold'em to tiny stud games because she cared more about learning the new game than protecting her status.[01:15:10] Be Open to DissentAnnie says disagreement is one of the most powerful accelerators of expertise.[01:15:52] The Power of “I'm Not Sure”Certainty shuts down curiosity. Annie argues that acknowledging uncertainty keeps you hungry for information.[01:19:11] Experts Know What They Don't KnowOne mark of expertise, Annie says, is greater awareness of the boundaries of your knowledge.[01:20:07] Decision-Making for ParentsAnnie explains how she redirects her children from blaming a bad test on the teacher toward planning what they can do next time.[01:22:00] “Yes, And” as a Decision ToolJames connects Annie's parenting strategy to improv: accept the current reality, then build forward from it.[01:23:10] David Letterman, Lauren Conrad, and Bad DissentAnnie explains why challenging someone directly can backfire when you have not agreed to that kind of conversation.[01:27:45] How Much Can You Really Hack 10,000 Hours?James asks how much faster deliberate learning can make someone an expert.[01:32:40] You Don't Have to Be Great at ThisAnnie says even modest improvements in recognizing learning opportunities can double how much you learn.[01:35:17] “Suck Less” and Let It CompoundSmall improvements shift the odds over time. Perfection is unnecessary; direction matters.[01:37:06] Thinking in BetsJames recommends the book and summarizes the conversation around uncertainty, community, self-compassion, and learning.[01:38:01] Ryan Holiday's Secret Influence on the BookAnnie explains how the structure of The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy influenced the way she wrote Thinking in Bets.Additional Resources:Annie Duke — Official WebsiteAnnie Duke — BooksThinking in Bets — Penguin Random HouseHow to Decide — Penguin Random HouseQuit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away — Penguin Random HouseAnnie Duke — Alliance for Decision EducationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What if the key to standing strong when life gets difficult isn't making the right decision in the moment—but making the decision before the moment ever comes?In this powerful message, Pastor Eric uses one of the most vivid illustrations imaginable—a game of Jenga—to show us how integrity works in real life.Just like a Jenga tower rarely collapses all at once, our lives rarely fall apart because of one massive decision. More often, it happens one plank at a time. One compromise. One shortcut. One small decision that seems insignificant in the moment.Eventually, what we've been building can no longer stand.The story of Daniel in Babylon gives us a powerful picture of what it means to live with conviction. Before Daniel ever sat down at the king's table, he had already made up his mind about who he was and what he would stand for.He pre-decided.That simple idea is at the heart of this message.Conviction isn't something we should try to discover in the heat of the moment. Conviction is something we establish before the moment ever arrives.Because when we wait until we're lonely, tempted, exhausted, pressured, or surrounded by compromise to decide what we believe, we've already made the decision much harder than it needed to be.This message challenges us to honestly examine our lives and ask:• Am I living by convictions or simply by preferences?• Have I already decided what I will and will not compromise?• Who am I when nobody is watching?• What decisions am I making today that will shape who I become tomorrow?• Have I pre-decided what I will do when temptation comes?• Am I building my life on something strong enough to stand?Daniel didn't wait until the pressure came to figure out what he believed.He had already made up his mind.That's the power of pre-deciding.The strongest convictions are established before the pressure arrives. And the small decisions we make today are building the person we will become tomorrow.Don't wait for the moment to decide who you are.Decide now.

Part one was how to look like yourself again. Part two was how to feel like yourself again. Part three is who you actually are, and it's the one that decides whether any of it sticks. I open with something heavy from this week: I can't talk about peptides on Instagram anymore. I had to archive about 20 posts, my TikTok was deleted, and I've been blocked from DMs for three days. So I talk about building on borrowed land, and where I can still speak freely. Then the three women I meet over and over. The one who knows exactly what to do and still hasn't started. The one who changes for a few weeks and then life creeps in. And the one who's waiting to feel ready. I go into why willpower runs out, why it's cyclical and tied to your hormones, and the five days I took completely off this month while my HRV sat in the 80s. Then what actually builds it: deciding who she is out loud instead of setting a goal, one decision a day that she would make, changing the inputs instead of the intentions, and refusing to do it alone. Plus the question I asked a client this week that stopped her cold: what does it cost you to feel like this for another year? This is for education, not medical advice.

Sarah Shorter emailed: "Hi Mark I use podcast addict. A couple of weeks ago episodes 678ish to current dropped off the feed. I'm still getting new ones and I'm downloading the protest songs now. But I thought it might need bringing to your attention." Patrick Rieger sent St Patrick's Day Feedback from 2026: "Hi Marc, My family and I marched in Pittsburgh's Saint Patrick's Day Parade again but this time for one of our other activities, representing the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh. We were joined by three other members of the club. As far as I know, this is the first time in its 97 year history the club was represented in the parade, which itself started in 1869. The parade celebrates Saint Patrick and the Irish, but also Pittsburgh and its people, and the club is part of that. The parade started at 10AM but since we were near the back, we didn't start moving until 11:30, so we had time to talk with other participants.. I love the variety of groups in the parade, One of our members brought a small telescope with a Sun filter so we could safely show people the Sun while we waited. The Saturday Light Brigade radio program likes to hear from people at the parade so I gave them a call. Here are some photos. Yes, that is someone dressed as a pierogi on a scooter, pierogies are big in Pittsburgh. My wife and I carried the banner.

We went to one of our observatories where people brought games and snacked on pizza instead. I'll get back to the pub after the holiday." John L Pearson emailed about the Celtic Protest Songs episode: "Marc, I've been listening forever and have written you a couple other times over the years.
