For the last week, countless videos have circulated online showing National Guard troops menacingly patrolling the streets of Washington, DC, and militarized police setting up traffic checkpoints, harassing residents in the streets, and violently clearing encampments of people experiencing homelessness. “The state of mind of DC citizens right now is that they're under a police state, mainly in the poor Black and Brown communities,” Mansa Musa, host of Rattling the Bars at TRNN and a DC native, reports. In this episode of Working People, we speak with Mansa about the authoritarian reality DC residents are experiencing right now, and we hear from a range of residents and organizers Mansa spoke with on the ground at the “Free DC” demonstration on Monday, August 11.Additional links/info:Rattling the Bars website and Bluesky pageFree DC Coalition website, Facebook page, and InstagramChris Cameron, The New York Times, “Trump's DC police takeover and national guard deployment, explained”Brian Mann, NPR, “Trump's purge of Washington's homeless encampments escalates”Stephen Prager, Common Dreams, “Trump may 'fabricate a national emergency' to extend DC takeover without Congressional support”Brad Reed, Common Dreams, “'We are fighting to stop it': DC Attorney General sues to block Trump takeover of City police”Featured Music:Jules Taylor, “Working People” Theme SongCredits:Studio Production: Cameron GranadinoAudio Post-Production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Watching and praying keeps us close to Christ. When temptation comes, do we run to Him or rely on ourselves? He alone is our escape and strength. Is there hidden sin or shallowness dulling your soul? Only abiding in Jesus can keep our love burning and our steps steady.Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us. Let us not sleep—let us pray.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with John True, General Partner at Cultivation Capital, to explore the critical role of emotional intelligence (EQ) in sales leadership. From reading the room to eliminating partial listening, John shares insights on why understanding personal and professional wins is as important as the deal itself. He reveals why active listening is a lost art, how group interviews can reveal a candidate's EQ, and why being fully present is the foundation for leadership and influence.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:47] EQ is not optional—it's a core characteristic of great sales leaders.[00:01:16] Understanding personal and professional wins is essential to influence without dictating[00:03:11] Active listening, note-taking, and reading the room set elite salespeople apart[00:04:00] Asking "How do you know?" reveals deeper self-awareness in interviews[00:05:12] Group interviews can uncover a seller's ability to assess multiple stakeholders[00:06:21] Reading the political landscape in the room helps tailor your message effectively[00:07:24] Distractions kill EQ—presence is the foundation of emotional intelligence.QUOTES[00:01:00] "A big part of every interaction as a leader is understanding personal and professional wins as much as what you're up to."[00:03:11] "Active listening is about showing you're engaged—taking notes, bringing insights back into the conversation.[00:04:00] "How are you doing?

In order to thrive at work, must we always be working? For many young professionals, the hours outside work are no longer a refuge. In this episode of Arguable, Dhruva and Utkarsh explore the shifting line between hobbies and side hustles, and what that says about careers today. Are side hustles a smart form of insurance in an unpredictable economy, or a symptom of a culture that demands we monetise every interest? Do they help us discover new sides of ourselves, or simply extend the workday into our free time? In order to thrive at work, must we always be working?

Frankie Val and Adel Nero dig into the mysteries surrounding the Denver International Airport, from ominous murals to the infamous Blucifer statue, and debate whether its underground tunnels could connect to a hidden “breakaway civilization.” The conversation shifts to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's provocative claims on Joe Rogan about UFOs, interdimensional beings, and ancient biblical texts like the Book of Enoch, sparking a discussion on hidden knowledge, government secrecy, and the risks of controlled disclosure. The hosts then turn to the Epstein case, speculating that the apparent mishandling may have been a deliberate bait to thrust the story into mainstream awareness. Wrapping up, they explore explosive allegations that Obama's DOJ ordered the FBI to shut down the Clinton Foundation corruption probe, framing it as part of a larger struggle over accountability, justice, and the future of the deep state.
In this episode of the Profitable Christian Business Podcast, host Doug Greathouse interviews entrepreneur and author Albert Pellissier, whose book "What's on Your Backburner?" challenges entrepreneurs to awaken dormant desires and confront the inner conflicts holding them back from meaningful success. Albert opens up about the intersection of faith, ambition, and laziness, and shares how God used his personal journey to help others step into their true calling. Together, Doug and Albert explore how unchecked investment bias, doom scrolling, and self-sedation habits mask our deeper purpose — and how to break free. This episode is a call to reignite what God placed in your heart long ago and to step forward with intention, clarity, and spiritual alignment.
Praying for the ability to continue to walk the narrow path, with focus and clarity.
Even as Democrats plan for a midterm and consider how the Epstein Files will effect Trumps poll numbers, they refuse to accept what might be the most obvious method in Trump's madness. The possibility that when a fascist sends the military to occupy the Capital of your country, recruits a band of personal, massively armed thugs to fan out through your country and muses that he might use the same military power to occupy parts of your country that may resist him...um...he might not be worrying about his poll numbers. If it walks like a duck...and talks like a duck...and acts like a duck...IT'S A MILITARY COUP. America is still convinced "it can't happen here"....even when it is.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to get caught up in the constant noise, stress, and demands of life? In this episode, I share how God has been calling me back to a place of deep rest and peace — not just physically, but in my spirit. We'll look at how Jesus points us to a different way of living, one that's rooted in trust, surrender, and the promises of God instead of fear and striving. I talk about what it means to truly walk in peace, even when circumstances are uncertain, and how the smallest acts of obedience can open the door to supernatural breakthrough. I'll share the practical shifts I've been making in my own daily life to quiet the chaos, hear God's voice more clearly, and step into the kind of joy and freedom He's offering us. If you've been feeling spiritually weary or stuck in survival mode, this conversation will help you remember who you are in Christ and how to access the peace that passes all understanding — the kind that changes not just your mood, but your entire outlook on life.

Episode Summary: We're taking it back to an episode that's right on time—especially with just four months left in the year. If you're feeling pulled in too many directions, or if the goals you set in January still aren't complete, this conversation is exactly what you need to finish strong. In this episode of the Published and Paid®️ Podcast, I'm talking about something that shifted everything in my business: focus. For a long time, I was doing a lot—jumping between programs, chasing ideas, trying to build everything at once—and still not seeing the results I wanted. Things didn't change until I locked in. One book. One message. One offer. And that's when everything started to work. I'm sharing the practical steps I took to narrow my focus and finally start moving with clarity and consistency. If you've been busy but not productive, or stuck in start-stop cycles, this episode will help you reset and refocus. Episode Takeaways: Focus Fuels Success: Commit to one clear goal at a time. Consistency beats chaos every time. Set Daily Priorities: Choose 3–5 key tasks each day. Focus on the top 3—and celebrate if you finish more. Create a Distraction-Free Environment: Do Not Disturb is your best friend. Shut down distractions and protect your time. Use What Works: Time-blocking and Pomodoro aren't just buzzwords—they're tools that help you execute. Breaks Keep You Sharp: Rest between focused work sessions to avoid burnout and mental fatigue. End the Day With Stillness: Stretching or meditating can reset your mind and improve how you show up tomorrow. Quoteables: "Things didn't start working well for me until I locked all the way in and focused on one thing—one book, one message, one coaching program." "If you focus on one task, you'll complete it in half the time with double the accuracy compared to juggling multiple tasks." "Distraction breaks momentum. Every time you check your phone or email, you lose valuable time regaining focus." "There's such a thing as having too many voices in your head. Focus all the way in, maximize where you are, and make it work for you." "You don't need to do everything. You just need to do the right things consistently."

Dr. Leelo Bush guides listeners through the spiritual and emotional practices needed to restore peace, purpose, and joy—without changing jobs, partners, or cities.

Steve speaks with Psychotherapist and award-winning author Kurt Warner to discuss his explosive new book, False Idols: How Diversion Is Destroying Democracy. He argues that our modern obsession with endless entertainment, shallow news, and digital distractions is quietly dismantling the foundations of freedom, and that unless we wake up, history's warning signs will become today's reality.
Back in Episode 52, we dug deep into what distraction does to the body—how it hijacks your nervous system, wrecks digestion, disrupts sleep, and drives chronic stress. This week, we're moving beyond the problem and into the start of the solution. In this heartfelt opening to the four-part Distraction Detox series, Jamie Belz gets real about life in “dizzy-busy” mode—running on someone else's schedule, juggling endless obligations, and watching joy and energy slip away. From stress hormones bullying your body's systems to nutrient deficiencies, late nights, and skipped movement, you'll learn exactly how busyness erodes your Foundations of Health: digestion, blood sugar regulation, nutrient-dense diet, sleep, stress, and movement. This isn't just theory—Jamie is in the middle of this reset right alongside you. Together, you'll start with two action steps for this week that will set the stage for resetting your priorities and presence, and reclaim your energy, focus, joy, and overall health. Next week, we'll move into Part 2: Clearing Your Environment—turning your physical space into an ally, not a combat zone. If you're ready to break free from “dizzy-busy” living and start experiencing clarity, vitality, and presence again, grab a notebook and let's get to work—together. This episode is a great one to share with friends! Please send it to a few people who need to slow down a bit and remove some distractions.

Jon Herold and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dig into a week loaded with eyebrow-raising headlines in Episode 145 of Baseless Conspiracies. They break down new developments in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, dissecting the suspicious timing and selective release of information. The conversation shifts to escalating tensions with Iran, questioning whether the latest headlines are genuine threats or carefully staged distractions. Jon and Zak explore how media narratives are weaponized to steer public attention away from deeper truths, tying in historical patterns of misdirection and controlled information. With their signature mix of humor, skepticism, and sharp analysis, they connect the dots between current events, political maneuvering, and the psychological games used to keep the public focused on the wrong targets. This episode is a fast-moving ride through the news cycle's smoke and mirrors, leaving listeners with more questions, and a sharper lens for spotting the distractions ahead.
What to listen for:“We're always inspired by the students and all the hard work that goes on. It blows my mind every single year.”Today, our hosts, Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing, reflect on their recent experience at Distraction Camp 2025, where handlers and dogs from across the country gathered on Robin's Iowa farm to build deeper relationships through the chaos of real-world distractions.This year's breakthrough came from an unexpected source: cats. The rallying cry “I like cats” (a Crystal original) turned into a reminder to not push your dog to engage but instead allow them to choose connection. When one handler kept insisting her dog play while the dog clearly felt overwhelmed, Crystal asked about her cats. As the handler described her Norwegian cat, her dog—suddenly ignored—began seeking attention, eventually jumping up with a playful “boop” as if to say, “Hey, I'm here too!”Sometimes we need to step back and let our dogs actively choose us, rather than desperately pursuing their attention. Like cats, we can be interesting without being overly available, which means creating pull instead of push in our relationships.Throughout the week, handlers learned to advocate fiercely for their dogs, making training decisions based on what each individual needed rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. Students chose different starting positions, modified exercises, and even sat out searches when their dogs weren't ready—something rarely seen at training seminars.The diversity was something else: Cavalier King Charles Spaniels worked alongside Chesapeakes and Pomeranians, each requiring different approaches. One handler discovered her dog's love of bubbles could replace his obsession with "summer snow" (cottonwood fluff). In other words, a distraction was turned into a powerful reinforcer. Another handler learned to read her sensitive dog's signals through a ball-carrying ritual that communicated “I feel safe now.”By week's end, the transformation was visible in both species. As one student suggested, they should rename it “Relationship Camp,” because when the handler-dog connection is strong, it's easy to conquer distractions!

Today’s Bible Verse: "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." - John 10:27 Hearing Jesus begins with intentional stillness. It’s not about finding a perfectly quiet environment (though that helps) but about tuning your heart to Him throughout the day. Whether you’re doing the dishes, stuck in traffic, or sitting in a meeting, you can whisper prayers, recall Scripture, or simply invite Him into the moment. When we make a habit of listening, His guidance becomes clearer, and His peace steadies us — even when life is anything but peaceful. “Want to listen without ads?

Have we grown spiritually sleepy? Jesus warned that our willing spirit must overcome weak flesh through watchful prayer. Overconfidence or distraction dulls our alertness. Are we depending on Him or drifting into comfort? True strength is found in humble prayer. If media or busyness has stolen our fire, it's time to repent and return. Revival begins when we wake up.Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us. Let us not sleep—let us pray.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Dr. Paul Gordon, St. Charles Unit District 303 Superintendent, joins Jon Hansen, in for Lisa Dent, to discuss their new cellphone policies to help limit distractions while in the classroom.
“Everyone else is doing it…so why shouldn’t I?” Sometimes, following the norm can have hidden costs. God doesn’t give you that list of "dos" and "don'ts" to be a buzzkill. It’s because he knows your best life is waiting for you. But to get there, you'll have to let some things go.

Stop Your Brain from Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success Mind Shifting for Leaders: Building Teams That Solve Complex Problems Episode 268 (Mitch is based in New York State) In This Conversation We Explore… how cultural values shape communication and decision-making the hidden “lies” that societies accept and how they influence relationships why the survival brain reacts faster than the resourceful brain what “Part X” is and how it sabotages growth the difference between simple, complicated, and complex problems how to build resilience by experimenting instead of seeking one perfect answer why collaboration depends on flexibility in conflict resolution the four strategies to move from survival mode to resourceful mode the five powers of the resourceful mind and how to use them Mitch's mission to teach 5 million people resourcefulness, resilience, and collaboration ----- About our Guest, Mitchell Weisburgh: Mitchell is creator of the Mind Shifting Method, a practical brain-based system built from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and leadership strategy. He helps entrepreneurs, executives, and coaches rewire their internal operating systems — so they can lead, decide, and scale without burning out. Learn more about Mind Shifting and how Mitch can help you and your team at: https://www.mindshiftingwithmitch.com/ https://mindshiftingwithmitch.blog/ ----- Key Learning Points Cultural norms shape communication—including acceptable “lies” people tell. The brain's survival mode reacts instantly and often overrides resourceful thinking. Part X—the inner critic—tries to keep us “safe” by discouraging change. Resourcefulness comes from tapping into the creative, empathetic, and executive functions of the brain. Resilience is about navigating uncertainty, not finding one “right” answer. Collaboration requires understanding conflict styles and using flexibility, not force. Recognizing when you're in survival mode is the first step to shifting your mindset. Positive self-talk works best when it's curious and open-ended, not cheerleader-style. Distraction and trusted allies can help you reset from emotional overload. The five powers of the resourceful mind—empathy, exploration, innovation, navigate, and focused action—help guide better decisions. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self. In these interviews we will explore presentation skills, public speaking, conversation, persuasion, negotiation, sales conversations, marketing, team meetings, social media, branding, self talk and more.

By learning to notice urges, pause in moments of discomfort, and deliberately choose how to respond, we can break cycles of distraction and live with greater presence and clarity. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://zenhabits.net/conscious Quotes to ponder: "Without awareness, we are slaves to our impulses, habits, and distractions."

Accountability or weaponization? That's the question Andrew and Mary tackle in their 150th episode together, starting with the distraction of the Office of the Special Counsel's investigation into Jack Smith for possible Hatch Act violations. In other DOJ related matters, they give some context to the Trump administration's continued battle to keep Alina Habba, a Trump ally, as New Jersey U.S. Attorney, just as The Legal Accountability Center filed bar complaints against lawyers who have represented Trump's White House in court. In another sideshow, Andrew and Mary break down what to make of a report on the “Clinton Plan” emails, declassified amid the Epstein controversy. And last up, they detail the decision out of the 9th Circuit Court which upheld a pause on ICE raids in California. Further Reading: Here is the piece Andrew and his colleague Ryan Goodman wrote for Just Security in October 2024: Refuting the Latest Baseless Attacks Against Special Counsel Jack SmithHere is the 9th Circuit Court decision on ICE Raids: Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California And some exciting news: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

The McCullough Report with Dr. Peter McCullough – Political controversy heats up as Tulsi Gabbard accuses the Obama administration of fabricating the Russia-Trump narrative, while vaccine safety concerns and allegations of cover-ups grow.

Welcome. I'm Kevin Miller and this is a podcast for your personal evolution. In this episode Will A Better World Really Benefit Us & If Not - What Actually Will I've struggled with technology and conveniences and efficiency for a long time. All our human advancements with tech and now AI and such are promoted as if they will finally make everything better and us, happier. But I have not experienced any technological advance that has added to my happiness, and actually, I feel it's done the opposite. How many people have experienced an electricity outage and have stories of how great it was. We get out candles, play games, and talk like we haven't in ages. On a more grand scale, are all our advances that arguably make life better, resulting in more happiness? Not according to our constantly declining health stats. So if all the “betterment” efforts aren't making us happy, why? And what will? My guest is Soren Gordhamer. Soren is the founder and host of Wisdom 2.0, the premier conference exploring living with greater mindfulness, wisdom, and compassion in the modern age. Soren brings the leaders of technology, literally the giants who most impact the world as we know it, together with leaders in wisdom to explore how we can create a truly livable world with greater presence, purpose, and connection in this digital age that feels more and more like chaos just speeding up. Soren's work focuses on a central question: as technology becomes ever more integrated into our lives, will it support human thriving and connection—or drive distraction and isolation? He's culminated what he's learned about the influence of tech and now AI into a new book, The Essential: Discovering What Really Matters in an Age of Distraction. I sat down with Soren to get candid on my feeling that all our advancements are not and will not make us happier, and in fact, will continue to add to our declining mental health. Soren sights AI in health as expectant to do great things, such as find a cure for cancer. But I ask that even with that, a cure for cancer, will that actually make us happier?
