Send a textThis week it's just Peaches and Trent doing what they do best—talking shop, talking trash, and pulling back the curtain on real-world military experience.Trent just wrapped a full-blown hostage rescue film project with helicopters, free fall, K9 bites, Rangers, and 16-hour days. No Hollywood fluff—just a bunch of former SOF dudes trying to pull off a legit tactical production without a billion-dollar budget. If you've ever wondered what goes into recreating real operations on camera, this is it.They also dive into Olympic drama, speed skating carnage, the new D-Day weather movie, why special operations weather actually mattered in WWII, and whether declassified alien files are about to break the internet—or disappoint everyone.It's equal parts military ops, filmmaking chaos, veteran brain health, OTS prep pressure, and calling out internet keyboard warriors who demand resumes in the comments.No script.

National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has refuted claims that the absence of some party members at the party's Thanksgiving service last Sunday signals disunity within the party. He explained that the absence of Bryan Acheampong and Kennedy Agyapong was not deliberate

Shukri reflects on Thoreau's Walden, exploring the pros and cons of a deliberate life.

Ashley Herd, former Head of HR North America at McKinsey, joins this episode to discuss what effective leadership looks like in practice, especially in environments defined by speed, pressure, and increasing expectations around AI. Drawing on her experience training more than 250,000 managers, she introduces a simple but rigorous framework: pause, consider, act. In fast-moving organizations, leaders often default to speed over reflection. Herd argues that the brief pause before responding to a mistake, delivering feedback, or making a decision materially changes outcomes. It allows leaders to ask: What result am I trying to achieve? How would I want to be treated in this situation? What will the ripple effect of this action be? Several practical insights stand out: First, performance feedback remains one of the most persistent leadership failures. The issue is not usually saying the wrong thing, but saying nothing at all. Delayed or avoided feedback creates confusion, resentment, and surprises in annual reviews. Timely, specific recognition is equally important; a simple acknowledgment can shape engagement far beyond the moment. Second, leadership style often oscillates between two extremes. Herd describes "tight jeans" leadership as micromanagement that restricts autonomy, and "oversized sweatpants" leadership as excessive hands-off behavior that leaves teams without direction. The effective middle ground is structured autonomy: clear expectations combined with room to operate. Third, leaders underestimate the degree to which they influence their teams' well-being. Research shows a manager's effect on employee health rivals that of a spouse. Everyday behaviors whether following up, acknowledging effort, or setting realistic expectations, have consequences that extend beyond the workplace. Fourth, organizations face a growing gap between executive narratives about AI and what teams are actually doing. Leaders often declare proficiency while employees experiment quietly, sometimes without clarity on what is expected, allowed, or rewarded. Clear standards around AI usage, what good looks like, what is permitted, and how it will be evaluated, are now a management responsibility, not a technical one. Finally, Herd emphasizes upstream problem solving. Instead of repeatedly "cleaning up" issues after they escalate, leaders should invest in conversations, manager training, and clear norms that prevent recurring failures. This requires time, but it reduces long-term friction. For senior leaders, the message is direct: results and humanity are not opposing goals. Deliberate communication, consistent one-on-ones, and realistic workload expectations are operational disciplines, not soft considerations. For managers at any level, the framework is simple but demanding. Pause before reacting, consider the broader impact, then act with clarity.

February 15, 2026 | Looking at Hebrews 10:26–32, Pastor Ben Mandrell teaches on "The Danger of Deliberate Sin." When we choose to pursue sin deliberately, we are making a mockery of the sacrifice which Christ has made for us. This drives a wedge between us and God until we no longer feel any intimacy with Him. How can we reject sin and make sure that we are growing in our faith?For more sermons each week, be sure to subscribe so you can stay in the know.

Renting is no longer a stepping stone. In our latest episode of The Multifamily Review, we unpack new research on the rise of the "Deliberate Renter," why homeownership is losing its cultural pull, and the $4,000 cost of getting retention wrong in 2026. From the Upgrade Matrix to the Resident Disconnect, this is your roadmap for competing in a market where experience, not occupancy, drives performance.

In this episode of the Good Leadership Podcast, host Charles Good engages in a deep conversation with Dr. Kumar Mehta about what it truly means to be exceptional in leadership and performance. They explore the systemic issues that prevent individuals from reaching their full potential, the importance of deliberate practice, and the mindset shifts necessary for long-term success. Dr. Mehta shares insights from his research on elite performers, emphasizing the significance of commitment devices, future orientation, and the necessity of a supportive environment. The discussion also touches on the stages of personal development and how to raise exceptional children by instilling a strong work ethic and the connection between effort and outcomes.TAKEAWAYSIf your career keeps running on the same habits, it's a system problem.Being good enough is no longer enough in today's world.Exceptional performance is a system you can learn, not just a talent.Deliberate practice is essential for moving from good to exceptional.Future orientation helps in making better present choices.Commitment devices can help maintain focus and effort.Cross-pollination of ideas from different fields enhances creativity.Super elite performers often have a competitive upbringing and a chip on their shoulder.Mastery is about competing with your possible best, not just personal bests.Teaching children the link between effort and outcomes fosters a strong work ethic.CHAPTERS00:00 The Path to Exceptional Leadership00:42 The Distinction Between Hard Work and Deliberate Practice03:50 The Importance of Structured Practice06:22 The Power of Commitment and Plan A09:35 Transferring Skills Across Disciplines12:52 Cross-Pollination of Ideas for Growth15:07 Harnessing Adversity for Motivation18:21 Shifting from Outcome Focus to Mastery19:54 Recognizing and Acting on Pivot Points21:30 Stages of Growth: From Personal Best to Possible Best24:00 Implementing Lessons from Elite Performers25:37 Fostering a Strong Work Ethic in Children27:18 Applying the Framework at Any Stage of Life27:40 Key Insights and Takeaways

From Amy:My friend Jillian Rae has done this thing twice while we've posed for a photo, once at her album launch, once at my book launch: Jillian points to me and makes a face as if she can't believe her luck to have encountered me personally. And yet, Jillian is a bonafide rockstar.I use that term rockstar broadly, because Jillian refuses to fit into a clear genre. She plays at venues all over town, in many roles, with a wide range of musicians, and she's kinda famous in China.So then who am I in this picture? I am Jillian's former student who dabbled with violin lessons when my kids were young. Here I thought I was learning an instrument I admired, as a mom who needed creative escape from my real life. Jillian wasn't a rockstar YET when I met her. I remember clearly when she texted that she was appearing onstage at Prince's beloved First Avenue in Minneapolis, and we should get our butts over there. That first performance, Jillian played backup fiddle for a headliner whose name I no longer remember. I have no idea how often she's played at First Avenue since. I don't even know how many of Jillians shows I've attended or how often I've heard her on The Current, our local MPR music station.To me, Jillian Rae is the person who first convinced me to drive in to Minneapolis regularly on weekdays. When my kids and I were taking violin lessons from her in one of those suburbs, Jillian co-founded the Music Lab in a walk-up near Lake Nokomis. Suffice it to say, I wouldn't have chosen that neighborhood for my kids' music lessons, forty-five minutes from home in rush hour. But Jillian has vision like nobody's business.During our lessons, we talked about Jillian's work and her career... and my aspirations to be a real writer and whatever the dream was that I'm living now. I've honestly translated so much of what Jillian taught me into my business, because every time I showed up in her private studio (never having practiced, because that was part of my deal with her, though I did learn some fiddle tunes decently well, and even Pachelbel's canon) I got to be the feral Gen X child I once was, learning from my friend Jillian to see my creative gifts through the eyes of a Millennial. I have long understood that were it not for Jillian, I would never have understood what being a real-life creative looks like for me. When I think about this podcast (this episode and more broadly), I understand that not everyone can meet my friend Jillian personally, or other real-life creatives like her that I encounter ongoing. And that did start for me in Minneapolis. Since then, I've made a practice of talking and writing about Minneapolis, so much so that many people think I live there. I do not. Or shall I say, that's not where my house is. And yet.All my lineage travels directly through Minneapolis, on all sides. So you weren't entirely wrong if you thought I was from there.Indeed I was born in a Minneapolis hospital building that is currently occupied by the federal government, so I hear from reliable sources. Throughout my childhood, I visited the city with family for special occasions.But I know the city best as a grown-up.If you don't know a city that well, and have no reason to go there, it's easy to believe horror stories that the media serves you and forget the everyday people who live there. In the years since Ronald Reagan eliminated the fairness doctrine (that said you can't publish lies) media corporations have made it their business to further exacerbate bias, divide us with scary demographics, and consolidate profits. That's the false narrative that Minneapolis is actively refusing, and many of us in the Twin Cities Metro and Greater Minnesota recognize, though some white Minnesotans believe they aren't safe in the city. Which didn't happen by accident. Deliberate semantics games misrepresent one big idea: THESE PEOPLE ARE OUR NEIGHBORS.And as I see it nowadays, my neighbors. That's a pretty good thing.I love to drive the long way home from Minneapolis, one neighborhood into the next, one suburb into the next, awash in memories, never using a freeway until the bridge across the river. That's how well I know the city these days. I know all the places you've heard about in the news.But when I want to talk about what life's been like in Minneapolis I defer to people who inhabit these neighborhoods.That's why I invited Jillian Rae to speak to her own, lived experiences.It's going to take a long time to heal from the willful damage inflicted by ICE and this administration. You need to know that it's still going on. Furthermore, I don't see how a "kinder, gentler" (more stealthy for optics) invasion is going to stop all the harm being done. Intentionally.Jillian's graciously allowing me to share her new single, "Fuck ICE," at the end of this episode. You can purchase the salty or the sanitized version to support Twin Cities people. Pretty sure that song title clarifies where she stands. Jillian's one of my heroes AND a dear friend.At the beginning of the episode, we reference Jillian's single "Silence," a precursor to "Fuck Ice" in many ways. Watch the video here.Which makes me realize one more connection: If I didn't know so many beloved people and places in Minneapolis personally, I don't know what I'd be thinking right now. Maybe I'd think these people were heroes, but their struggles aren't mine. That they are somehow separate from me. Instead, I am finding plenty of ways to fight the good fight where I am. I'm asking you to think about how you can address evil, in solidarity, where you are too. Because make no mistake, this does affect you. Even if the connections are being obscured. You need to see them.Please listen. And then take one simple step you can take to speak up. And the next. And the next. Travel safely, dear friends.Love, Amy About Jillian Rae:Lauded as a “triple threat on vocals, fiddle, and composition” (Star Tribune), Jillian Rae is a fiercely unique spirit who cares more about making authentic music than about conforming to expectations.

She had no reason to be afraid that morning. The house was empty. She'd watched the car pull away, headlights fading down the long driveway, leaving her alone in the dark, quiet stillness after Christmas.That's when the bedroom door opened.What followed wasn't fast or violent or chaotic. It was slow. Deliberate. Intimate in a way that made it even harder to process. Something moved around the bed. The mattress sank. A weight pressed beside her—heavy, unmistakably real—and yet strangely calm. Not threatening. Almost… familiar.Too afraid to look, Precious did the only thing she could think to do: she asked it to leave. And it listened.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalPodcast #BedsideApparition #Unexplained #Spirits #Afterlife #Haunting #CreepyExperiences Love real ghost stories?

Have you ever noticed that certain experiences feel obvious to you — but invisible to others? Have you ever tried to explain a moment of bias or dismissal, only to be told it probably wasn't about race? What do we mean when we say Black invisibility? In this Espresso Talk — a calm, focused reflection grounded in lived experience — Ama-Robin sits inside Nommo Bookstore in YAIT Town and names a reality many Black people live with daily: being present but unseen, harmed but doubted, accomplished but erased. During Black History Month — a time that appears to center Black visibility — this episode explores why invisibility doesn't disappear just because February arrives. In fact, the contrast can make it clearer. Through personal reflection and steady truth-telling, Ama-Robin examines how Black experiences are minimized, gaslit, and rewritten — and why naming this pattern matters. This is not a rant. It is recognition. You ain't imagining this.

We know from history that humans have gone through constant change. When one part of the world is at peace, another is in chaos. Economies rise and fall. Civilizations rise and fall. Life and death are constantly occurring. But the reality is that any season won't last for long. Things change. Life cycles.King Solomon gave us one of the most prolific and poetic texts for this concept in Ecclesiastes 3, verses 1-8.For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate.A time for war and a time for peace.Ask yourself 2 questions.Where do hear your own life, what time are you in right now?Where did you hear our culture, where might we be right now?Regardless of what time, or season you are in, or our culture is in, one truth remains, the other side of the coin, the other “time” will come back around soon enough.Interestingly, all of these ‘times' I just read are choices we make. Deliberate mindsets, or as the scripture calls it, ‘activities' that we choose. Is there a mindset that you need to reaffirm today? Or maybe readjust?Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, You created the seasons and the times of our lives. Help me to know what time you want it to be for me in every season. But help me to constantly make the current season a time to gather, embrace, mend, and love. As above, so below.”

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Host Faust Checho explores the Law of Attraction as taught by Abraham Hicks, unpacking manifestation, emotional alignment, and the art of allowing, in this solo episode of the Far Out with Faust.Drawing directly from the original teachings of Abraham Hicks, Faust places the Law of Attraction in the context of a world saturated with fear, conflict, and distraction. As headlines push scarcity, outrage, and hopelessness, this episode explains how emotional alignment, deliberate creation, and intention determine whether we unconsciously amplify the chaos — or consciously step out of it. Faust explores why negative emotions are signals, not failures, how fixation on current events can reinforce unwanted outcomes, and why mastering focus and the art of allowing is essential for staying grounded, abundant, and clear in unstable times.Topics include:✨ Manifestation explained: Why desire alone isn't enough without belief, expectation, and alignment.

Washington State University knew Bryan Kohberger was dangerous. That's what the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin are alleging in a devastating new lawsuit filed January 7th, 2026. The 126-page complaint details at least 13 formal complaints filed against Kohberger during his single semester as a graduate teaching assistant at WSU. Women were requesting security escorts to avoid him. Staff created informal "911" email alerts to warn each other when he was nearby. One supervising instructor allegedly expressed concern that removing Kohberger could expose the university to a lawsuit—choosing legal liability over campus safety. A professor reportedly told colleagues that if WSU gave Kohberger a PhD, they'd eventually hear about him harassing and sexually abusing students. The murders happened eight miles away in Moscow, Idaho. The families argue those murders were foreseeable and preventable. Former prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers to break down the legal claims: Title IX violations, gross negligence, wrongful death. What does "deliberate indifference" mean in court? How do families prove it? And what's WSU most afraid of having exposed during discovery? This lawsuit could set precedent for institutional liability nationwide.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #HiddenKillers #TitleIX #EricFaddis #Idaho4Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week, Paul Andrews explores one of the most common struggles guitarists face: how to practice jamming in a way that leads to real improvement, rather than just filling time. If you've ever found yourself noodling over a backing track and wondering why you don't seem to get any better, this episode is for you! Paul breaks down a practical “jam loop” that transforms aimless jamming into focused, efficient practice, and offers actionable tips for beginners and seasoned players alike.Key Topics & Takeaways1.

Why Jamming Isn't Always ProgressMany guitarists spend practice time jamming over backing tracks, but don't see results.The problem: not all practice leads to improvement. Deliberate, focused practice is essential.3. The 4-Step Jam Practice Loop: Transform unstructured jamming into real progress:Jam Freely: Start by playing over a backing track to warm up and get in the groove.Notice One Thing: Pause after a minute or two, pinpoint one specific area that felt off (timing, phrasing, technique, etc.).Isolate: Zoom in on that one issue. Slow it down, simplify, and practice it separately.Rejam With Intention: Go back to the track, this time focusing on improving that one thing, aim for progress, not perfection.4. Making the Most of Backing TracksChoose simple, slow or mid-tempo tracks with clear chord changes.Use tracks that inspire you musically.Beginner Guitar Academy offers curated backing tracks for members.5. Best Practices for JammingDon't play nonstop; leave space to create musical phrases.Stop while it feels good: 5 minutes of focused jamming beats 20 minutes of unfocused noodling.Balance focused practice with fun, unstructured playing to stay motivated and see real benefits.6. Advice for BeginnersYou don't need long jam sessions; even a few minutes of focused practice makes a difference.Mix deliberate practice with time to play and enjoy music.Links & ResourcesDownload January Practice Tracker: bgapodcast.com/januaryDonate to Jesse's Fund: bgapodcast.com/charityAccess Backing Tracks: Beginner Guitar Academy dashboard (Members only)Final ThoughtsJamming should be a fun, rewarding part of your practice routine.

Shannon and Mary revisit the topic of Structured Word Inquiry (SWI) and discuss the importance of understanding the deliberate reasons for English spellings with guests Jennifer Petrich and Bradley Johnson.The conversation follows the hosts' and guests' experiences with SWI, detailing how it helps students understand and apply the structure of English spelling with its focus on word structures, etymology, and morphology. Emphasizing a shift from a phonics-only approach to one that also prioritizes morphology & etymology, the episode highlights the importance of starting with word meaning and developing scientific inquiry skills in literacy teaching. The journey into SWI is one of discovery, collaboration, & continuous learning. With the tools and strategies shared, educators can confidently embark on this path, helping their students gain a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry that is the English language. Join the conversation and dive into the world of SWI. Whether you're an educator, a parent, or a lifelong learner, there's always more to uncover in the fascinating study of words.01:01 Welcome to the RTL01:44 Introduction to SWI03:11 Meet the Guests: Jennifer Petrich and Bradley Johnson04:25 Jennifer's Journey with Dyslexia and SWI07:10 Bradley's Path to SWI12:14 Explaining SWI to Teachers21:59 Importance of Meaning & Morphology34:25 Importance of Lifelong Learning35:01 Introducing SWI35:34 Overcoming the Fear of Not Knowing36:12 Utilizing Curricular Modules and Materials37:26 Inquiry-Based Learning in the Classroom38:26 Developing Content Knowledge and Pedagogical Skills40:33 The Role of Big Ideas in Teaching42:43 Practical Applications and Teacher Experiences43:18 Scientific Inquiry in Word Study44:09 Integrating Phonics & Morphology54:17 The Importance of Community & Collaboration59:02 Final Thoughts & ResourcesRECOMMENDED RESOURCES RELEVANT TO THE EPISODE:The Literacy Doctor websiteOne Step Now EducationDyslexia Training InstitutePete Bowers's websiteOur Season 7 episode with Dr. Peter Bowers about SWIThe High Frequency Word Project book by Rebecca Loveless & Fiona Hamilton *Amazon affiliate linkThe Literacy Doctor weekly drop-ins (on Wed. )Investigating English Spelling by Bradley Johnson and Jennifer Petrich *Amazon affiliate linkStructured Word Inquiry in the Classroom (FB group)Marie Foley's courseSupport the show Get Literacy Support through our Patreon Bonus Episodes access through your podcast app Bonus episodes access through Patreon Buy us a coffee Get a FREE Green Chef box using our link

🧭 REBEL Rundown 📌 Key Points 🧠 We don’t know what we don’t know: Low experience can inflate confidence; true expertise usually brings humble certainty.🏥 ED relevance is universal: From central lines to transvenous pacing, over- or under-confidence shows up at every level—intern to seasoned attending.🧩 Metacognition matters: Accurate self-assessment is a clinical skill; reflection + feedback loops keep us calibrated.🛠️ Practice beats bravado: Skill decay is real; deliberate practice and HALO (high-acuity, low-occurrence) refreshers protect patients.🤝 Psychological safety ≠ niceties: “Confident humility” enables questions, feedback, and better resuscitation decisions—especially under uncertainty. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Welcome to REBEL MIND—Mastering Internal Negativity during Difficulty. In this series, we turn the same critical lens REBEL EM uses for literature inward—into mindset, leadership, and psychological safety—so we can deliver better care outward to patients and teams.In this episode and blog post, hosts Mark Ramzy and Kim Bambach (Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, The Ohio State University) explore a deceptively simple question: How accurately can we assess our own performance? The answer hinges on a classic cognitive bias that touches all of us in emergency medicine. 🧾 Paper Kruger J, Dunning D. Unskilled and unaware of it: how difficulties in recognizing one’s own incompetence lead to inflated self-assessments. J Pers Soc Psychol. 1999 Dec;7 PMID: 10626367 Cognitive Question How accurately can we assess our own performance? 💭 What is the Dunning-Kruger Effect? The Dunning–Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias where:Lower-skill individuals tend to overestimate their competence, andHigher-skill individuals often underestimate theirs.Translation for the busy clinician: early on the learning curve, confidence spikes (“Mount Stupid”) because we don’t yet see the complexity. As experience accrues, confidence dips (“Valley of Despair”) with growing awareness, then rises again—grounded in nuance and humility.Key insight: True expertise ≠ louder certainty; it’s often quieter, more curious, and more collaborative. How It Applies to the Emergency Department Procedures (e.g., central lines, TVP): Watching a 5-minute video creates “I got this” energy—until the wire won’t pass, the patient thrashes, or you hit carotid. Competence includes troubleshooting in context.Skill Decay is Inevitable: If you haven’t done a chest tube or a TVP in months, you’re not as sharp as last time. Without deliberate refreshers, you drift below the safe-performance line.Everyone’s a Novice Somewhere: New disease entities, evolving algorithms, new tools (POCUS, decision support) mean even attendings routinely re-enter novice zones.Feedback Blind Spots: Lower performers can both overestimate their skills and resist feedback—while many high performers (particularly women, per discussed literature) undervalue their abilities.Culture is Clinical: The ED demands decisive action amid uncertainty. Psychological safety + confident humility lets teams surface alternative diagnoses, challenge momentum, and correct course fast. ⏩Immediate Action Steps for Your Next Shift Run a 60-second debrief on two casesWhat went well? What would I do differently next time? Write one improvement you’ll test today.Play “What if the opposite were true?”Anchored on “lumbosacral strain”, Ask, What if fever/incontinence appears? How does that change my path?Solicit 360° micro-feedbackAsk a nurse, resident, and peer: “One thing I did well; one thing to improve.” Say “thank you,” not “but.”Schedule a HALO refresher this weekPick one high-acuity, low-occurrence procedure (TVP, cric, thoracotomy). Do a 10-minute mental model + equipment walk-through; book sim time if available.Adopt a pre-procedure pauseIf X goes wrong, I’ll do Y. Name two likely failure modes (e.g., “wire won’t advance,” “delirium/agitation”) and your first corrective step.Language shift on shiftSwap “I’m sure” → “I’m reasonably confident, here’s my plan B.” Invite input: “What am I missing?” Conclusion The Dunning–Kruger Effect isn’t a moral failing; it’s a predictable human pattern that every clinician rides—often multiple times per day in the ED. The antidote is metacognition: routine reflection, explicit debiasing, deliberate practice, and feedback within a psychologically safe culture. 🚨 Clinical Bottom Line Competence is quiet and curious. The more we know, the more we recognize what we don’t—and the better we become at caring for patients and each other. Further Reading Dunning D, Kruger J. Unskilled and Unaware of It (1999).

SummaryThe Uncertainty Edge Podcast explores the complexities of decision-making in uncertain environments, using the Everest disaster as a case study to highlight the challenges leaders face when certainty is absent. The podcast introduces the E.D.G.E. Framework, which aims to improve judgment under pressure and emphasizes the importance of understanding VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) in decision-making processes.TakeawaysThe podcast has evolved to focus on decision-making under uncertainty.The Everest disaster serves as a powerful case study for decision dynamics.VUCA describes the environment but doesn't guide decision-making within it.Judgment often fails when certainty is lacking, leading to poor decisions.The E.D.G.E. Framework helps establish a rhythm for decision-making under pressure.Most organizational failures stem from drifting decisions and implicit trade-offs.Deliberate judgment is crucial for shaping outcomes in uncertain conditions.The podcast will explore real decision moments and the trade-offs involved.Understanding when to act and when to wait is essential for leaders.Clarity is practiced under pressure, not found in calm.Sound bites"Waiting feels risky when certainty is absent.""Uncertainty isn't the problem to eliminate.""Clarity isn't found in calm."Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Uncertainty Edge Podcast01:29 The Everest Disaster: A Case Study in Decision Making04:17 Understanding VUCA: The Environment of Uncertainty07:01 The Edge Framework: A New Approach to Decision Making09:10 The Focus of the Podcast: Decisions Under PressureKeywordsdecision making, uncertainty, VUCA, Everest disaster, leadership, judgment, pressure, commitment, frameworks, organizational failures

Is chaos something to fear or something we can leverage? Kevin sits down with Kevin Black to discuss why chaos isn't inherently good or bad and how leaders can prepare to succeed in it. Kevin Black explains how natural behaviors, deeply rooted in our personality and life experiences, influence our reactions to chaos and shape team dynamics. He shares his chaos model, which features a taxonomy of control outcomes, from anarchy to deliberate resistance, and how leaders can identify and respond to each stage. They also discuss the four components of constructive chaos and how mishandling these can lead a team into destructive chaos.

The Secret Tour of Long Island's Spy Ring — Nathaniel Philbrick — Washington's tour of Long Island in April 1790 is characterized as a secretive journey implemented with a deliberate "press blackout," likely designed to quietly thank members of the Culper Spy Ring who had conducted intelligence operations during the Revolutionary War. Unlike his extensively documented other travels, there are no surviving diary entries or newspaper accounts of this mysterious trip. Philbrick suggests Washington visited former spies including Austin Roe and Robert Townsend to personally express gratitude for their extraordinary risks and contributions to American independence. Philbrickhighlights serendipitous historical connections, including a chair in Huntington later used by President Theodore Roosevelt, symbolically linking two presidencies across centuries through shared physical objects. 1789

The Three Archetypes of American Global Strategy — Gaius & Germanicus — Gaius and Germanicus analyze the prospective American National Security Strategy for 2025–2026, framing it as a deliberate return to the "Trump corollary" of the Monroe Doctrine emphasizing hemispheric supremacy and regional sphere-of-influence arrangements. Germanicus categorizes American foreign policy history into three religious-like ideological visions: Washington'sisolationist "beacon on the hill," the Monroe-Adams "realm of liberty" (defensive empire protecting American interests), and the Jacksonian "Prometheus unbound" (universalist ideological expansion spreading democratic values). Germanicus argues the incoming administration systematically rejects the "Wilson to Biden" lineage of global interventionism and messianic crusading in favor of Theodore Roosevelt-style "flexible realism" emphasizing power, national interest, and transactional diplomacy. Gaius details this shifted strategy as consolidating American dominance in the Western Hemisphere and Pacific region while according Russia respect and a recognized sphere of influence in Eurasia, explicitly rejecting Cold War confrontationalism. Gaius documents that Kremlin leadership has explicitly welcomed this "flexible realism," viewing it as a geopolitical departure from perpetual adversarial Cold War mindset. Germanicus contrasts this transactional approach with the "Manichaean" moral crusades characterizing recent American foreign policy, suggesting the American public now explicitly favors strategy avoiding military entanglement while prioritizing domestic prosperity and economic reconstruction, mirroring isolationist sentiments following World War I. 1911 USS MAINE IN HAVANA HARBOR

The financial sector didn't just enable Jeffrey Epstein—they fortified him. For decades, elite institutions like JPMorgan Chase continued to do business with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, ignoring internal warnings, compliance red flags, and credible allegations of abuse. High-ranking executives maintained close relationships, funneled vast sums through opaque accounts, and even joked about his grotesque proclivities in internal emails. Bankers helped him move millions across borders, granted him access to ultra-wealthy clients, and never asked the kind of questions they would demand from an average customer depositing a suspicious $10,000. These weren't oversights—they were decisions. Deliberate, profitable, and saturated with moral rot.At every turn, the financial institutions chose profit over principle. They ignored the trail of victims, the mountain of press coverage, and the glaring signs of criminality, all in exchange for Epstein's connections and capital. Even as civil suits piled up and survivors came forward, these firms were more concerned with protecting their reputations than cutting ties with a known predator. The result wasn't just a financial scandal—it was systemic complicity. The banks didn't just launder his money. They laundered his legitimacy, allowing him to continue operating as a global financier, when in truth he was running an empire built on exploitation and secrecy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Dave Berke is a retired US Marine Corps Officer, TOPGUN Instructor, and now a leadership instructor and speaker with Echelon Front, where he serves as Chief Development Officer. As a F/A-18 pilot, he deployed twice from the USS John C Stennis in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He spent three years as an Instructor Pilot at TOPGUN where he served as the Training Officer, the senior staff pilot responsible for the conduct of the TOPGUN course. Notes: July 2001: Plans Don't Survive Contact - Dave's Top Gun graduation exercise as flight lead. Wingman yells, "Showtime one-one break right!" - an F-5 snuck into formation. Dave was staring at the radar instead of looking out, had to fall out of formation, and ended up at the back instead of leading from the front. Mission successful, but nothing like he planned. Dave: "The outcome was still really good... except it was nothing like I thought it was going to be." Lesson: You're planning for the success of the outcome, not how you're going to do it. The most important attribute in a leader is humility. To be effective, you must be able to listen, learn, be flexible, and admit you're wrong sometimes. One of the biggest issues they deal with when working with leaders is ego and/or the inability to be humble. As leaders, we need to be self-aware enough to realize when our ego is getting the best of us. And surrounding ourselves with people who will help us know when that is happening as well. Be Fluid with Plans, Deliberate with Outcomes - Be really fluid and loose with plans, but deliberate about aligning the team on outcomes. Dave grew up as a control freak, OCD planner. Dave: "In life, it's just not how life works... If you can align on the mission and outcome, and you are very open-minded that there are a lot of different ways to get there, you're far more likely to be successful." The military saying, "The enemy gets a vote." Ryan's quarterback coach after an interception: "He's on scholarship too, you know?" Process: How You Create It Matters Most - Process is important, but how you create it matters most. If you agree on the outcome, the conversation should be less about agreement, more about "When you talk about step one, what are you thinking? How does this lead to step two?" The process has to be organic. When you create it, you're more likely to maneuver around challenges. Book Dedication: Chris and Kat - Book dedicated to Corporal Chris Leon and his mother, Kat. Chris was a radio operator on Dave's 13-man Anglo team. June 20, 2006, Chris was killed by an enemy sniper in Iraq - first Anglican Marine killed there. Dave's son is Matthew Leon Burke - took Chris's last name. Chris's mom Kat is Aunt Kat to Dave's family. Dave: "I always say I really deep down wish I didn't know Kat, because that would've meant Chris came home and life just went on. But that's not what happened." Chris taught bravery. Kat taught strength. Top Gun Reality: It's About the Team - 1986 Top Gun most impactful movie on Dave's life at 14. But the movie depicts a lone wolf. Marine Corps teaches: Your contribution to the team matters most. A really good pilot who's self-centered will do more damage than a slightly less capable pilot who's a real team player. Dave: "If there's ever a team sport, it's going into combat... It's not about you. It's about the team." Trust: Action, Not Description - Echelon codifies relationships: Trust, respect, listening, influence. Trust is the cornerstone. Dave: "If you don't trust me, I could be good at so many things. If there is a trust gap, there's going to be a problem in the relationship and team." Trust is action you take.  Ego: The Universal Challenge - When Echelon works with companies, challenges are almost always connected to ego. Dave: "Our egos tend to wreak havoc at each level of organization." From birth, the ego drives us down the wrong path. When debating plans, ego says, "You're right, he's wrong." Building good leadership is managing egos. Dave: "Humility is the most important attribute in a leader. All the attributes, humility is number one, and we don't waffle on that." Humility Enables Everything Else - Dave worked with the biggest, toughest SEALs. Attribute most critical to success: humility. Ability to listen, learn, be flexible, change, admit you're wrong, and go with someone else's plan. It even affects fitness. Humility touches everything. Doesn't diminish other attributes, but allows you to strengthen them.  Teaching Humility: Subordinate Your Ego - You can't tell someone with a big ego to be humble. Dave: "The biggest challenge with someone else's ego is not their ego. It's your ego's response to it." Most counterintuitive thing: If you clash with Ryan, Dave has to subordinate his ego to Ryan's. Lower your ego: "Hey Ryan, I've been pushing back hard, I realize I'm not listening." Natural reaction: Ryan's ego starts to drop. Over time, collaborate more. You connect success to the ability to control the ego. Dave: "Humility is the measurement of how much control you have over your ego." What you give is usually what you get. It's reciprocal. Care About Team More Than Yourself - When your people see you working hard to clear paths or block an egomaniac boss, they'll run through walls for you. Outcome of a good relationship: You care about the team, the team cares about you. That selfless act shows you care about them more than yourself. Dave: "That's how you show that you care about them more than yourself, and that's what a leader's job is, to care about the team more than you care about yourself. That's parenting, that's marriage." Extreme Ownership - Book Extreme Ownership changed Dave's understanding. When you take ownership, take ownership of everything. Caveat: Not things you literally don't control. But you have ownership over everything, even just how you react. After Chris was killed, Dave said, "That's war, nothing we can do." Problem: When he embraced it wasn't his responsibility, it meant he didn't have as much to change. Should have asked: "What is everything we can do to make sure this doesn't happen again?" The tendency is to undershoot ownership. Try to take it to the extreme. If you can take ownership of everything you can control, you get more influence over the outcome. Detachment: A Superpower - Dave: "Detachment is a superpower" - (1) almost nobody can do it, and (2) if you can, it's massively influential. Detachment is being in control of emotions. When overwhelmed with priorities and pressures, you tend to get emotional. When you react emotionally, you make bad decisions. Learn the skill of detaching - not to be devoid of emotion (we're human), but don't let emotions dictate. Get Away from Problems to See What's Causing It - When a problem occurs at work, you tend to focus on it, go into it. It seems good but is often wrong. You should get away from it, detach. Getting away lets you look around and see what's really causing it. Military example: The enemy is shooting at you; the tendency is to focus on that. Usually bad because they're hoping you do - then they send a flanking maneuver. If you detach, step back, you'll see the flanking maneuver coming. Be able to see the future - that's the superpower.  Know Your Red Flags - Intervene Early - You have to understand where you are escalating your emotions. Know your personal red flags. Most people don't go zero to 100. Long day, flight delayed, bad meeting - little things tick up, so zero is actually 4 or 5, which means dirty dishes put you to 7. When Dave gets frustrated, traps tighten up. Some people's nose turns red. If you're at level 8 and someone says, "calm down," it makes it worse. But if at level 1 or 2 and you intervene, you're in control. What an adult does: "I'm an emotional guy, but I have awareness of where I am. If I'm a 4, I gotta intervene then." If at level 10, detaching is not gonna happen. That's the difference between kids and adults. Dave: "You are much more likely to have a hard time controlling your emotions, ironically, with people you care about the most." Quotes: "You're planning for the success of the outcome, not how you're going to go about doing that, because things get in the way."  "Humility is the most important attribute in a leader. All the attributes. Humility is number one, and we don't waffle on that."  "The biggest challenge with someone else's ego is not their ego. It's your ego's response to it."  "Detachment is a superpower."  "You are much more likely to have a hard time controlling your emotions, ironically, with people you care about the most." 01:16 Introducing Dave Burke 02:21 Dave Burke's Top Gun Experience 05:23 Lessons Learned from Military to Everyday Life 07:56 The Importance of Flexibility in Leadership 13:07 The Need to Lead: Dedication and Personal Stories 16:58 The Realities of Teamwork in Combat and Business 21:03 Building Trust and Relationships in Teams 26:04 The Role of Humility in Effective Leadership 31:03 Understanding Ego and Humility 31:50 Subordinating Your Ego 33:38 Challenges of Teaching Humility 34:07 Personal Experiences with Ego 39:20 The Power of Ownership 42:57 Detachment as a Superpower 52:58 Advice for Young Leaders 57:26 Conclusion and Key Takeaways
