June 14, 2026, 8 AM; The organizers aimed to represent a modern redefinition of the traditional presidential library with campaign memorabilia and artifacts on display, while also making room for public spaces like a new library, basketball court, gardens, a huge playbround and picnic area. As the New York Times points out, "It is a trip to a parallel universe, one suffused in earnest talk of hope and change, not dark warnings about American carnage, One marching toward a multiracial, progressive future rather than dismantling a suffocating woke tyranny." Valerie Jarrett, CEO of the Obama Foundation, and former Senior adviser to President Barack Obama joins The Weekend to discuss the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.

June 14, 2026, 9 AM; Much of the hype and money that is surrounding the event has spurred controversy, with critics saying it reeks of corruption. President Trump and some of his allies could personally benefit from the fight. The Trump Organization has also promoted a line of "Freedom 250" themed silver and gold medallions, priced from $250 to $12K, tied to the event. The "No Kings" movement will hold a counter-event to protest Trump's policies and what organizers calling "strongman politics." Sen. Cory Booker (NJ-D) joins The Weekend to discuss the latest on the UFC Freedom 250 event, Men's Mental Health, the Iran conflict and the confirmation of Todd Blanche to as Attorney General.

The White House has just released a massive number of previously top-secret videos and documents from the DIA, CIA, FBI, and DOD related to UFOs.  There is also a new film by Steven Speilberg that reveals a conspiracy between Extraterrestrials and world governments (his biggest first weekend box-office career open). My co-host and expert ET-hunter, Anuradha, and I intend to get to the bottom of this 79 year conspiracy and share with our viewers/listeners. In addition, we will be joined by seasoned podcaster and ET-conspiracy expert, Maria Barnes. She will blow your mind. Stay tuned! In the meantime, we are sharing this amazing episode from 2023, the last time, the United States Congress convened a multi-day hearing to investigate UFO's and brought in decorated Marine/Naval aviators to testify, share videos they also saw with their own eyes, and other empirical evidence, such as radar.

The Defense Department recently created a controversy by revising its list of religious affiliation codes for service members and failing to designate the LDS Church as Christian. After objections, DOD removed the Christian designation from the list altogether. In this Legal Spirits Short Take, Center Director Mark Movsesian explains how the episode reveals a deeper problem of liberalism in a religiously diverse society: government must frequently classify religion, but no classification can be completely neutral. Listen in! The post Legal Spirits 078: A Short Take on Religion in the Military appeared first on LAW AND RELIGION FORUM.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 11 Juni 2026Bacaan: "..... janganlah kamu memikirkan perkara-perkara yang tinggi, tetapi arahkanlah dirimu kepada perkara-perkara yang sederhana....." (Roma 12:16)Renungan: Ketika kita bercita-cita menjadi seorang penulis, ada dua hal yang harus kita lakukan. Pertama, kita harus banyak menulis. Kedua, kita harus banyak membaca. Ya, penulis harus banyak membaca, seperti juga musisi harus banyak mendengarkan musik, sineas harus banyak menonton film, barista harus suka minum kopi, dst. Pertanyaannya, buku apa yang harus dibaca agar kita bisa menjadi penulis yang baik? Seorang penulis memberi nasihat cukup unik, la menyarankan membaca dua jenis buku: buku yang benar-benar bagus dan buku yang benar-benar jelek. Membaca buku yang sangat bagus tentu agar kita terinspirasi dan bisa membuat tulisan yang makin berkualitas. Bagaimana dengan membaca buku yang sangat jelek? Menurut penulis itu, buku yang sangat jelek juga bisa membuat kita termotivasi. "Jika tulisan sejelek itu saja ada yang mau menerbitkan, tulisan kita pasti bisa diterbitkan juga." Ada benarnya juga. Nyatanya, kita sering kali takut, bahkan putus asa karena yang kita lihat saat baru memulai sesuatu hanyalah orang-orang yang sudah ada di level sangat tinggi. Kita berhenti menulis karena tidak bisa menulis sebaik peraih Nobel Sastra. Kita berhenti menjadi musisi karena minder melihat keahlian para musisi kelas nasional bahkan internasional. Kita putus asa karena usaha yang kita rintis tidak kunjung sebesar perusahaan top. Maka, ada kalanya kita perlu juga melihat kepada hal-hal yang lebih "membumi". Bukan berarti menurunkan standar atau tak punya cita-cita tinggi. Kadang kita memang harus melihat ke atas, tapi penting juga untuk bisa melihat ke samping atau ke bawah. Keseimbangan seperti ini perlu supaya kita tidak jatuh menjadi hidup sekadar mengejar ambisi yang tak pernah habis-habisnya. Melihat ke hal-hal yang di bawah atau di sekitar, juga membuat kita bisa lebih bersyukur daripada hanya mengeluh karena kondisi kita tidak seperti orang lain. Kepada jemaat di Roma, Paulus dua kali mengingatkan mereka untuk tidak hanya memikirkan hal-hal yang tinggi (Rm. 12:3, 16), tapi mengarahkan pikiran ke hal sederhana agar tetap rendah hati. Tak ada yang salah dengan memiliki cita-cita besar, tapi jangan sampai kita lalu menjadi tak menghargai hal-hal kecil dan sederhana, karena itupun adalah berkat Tuhan untuk kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ajarilah aku untuk selalu bersyukur atas hal-hal besar dan kecil dalam hidupku karena semua itu adalah berkat-Mu yang Kau berikan untukku. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 12 Juni 2026Bacaan: "Sebab tujuh kali orang benar jatuh, namun ia bangun kembali tetapi orang fasik akan roboh dalam bencana." (Amsal 24:16)Renungan: Kita mungkin sering mendengar kisah Thomas Alva Edison yang konon mengalami 1000 kegagalan sebelum akhirnya berhasil menciptakan bola lampu. Kita juga mendengar tentang JK Rowling yang naskah Harry Potter karangannya ditolak banyak penerbit sebelum akhirnya diterbitkan satu penerbit kecil dan sukses menjadikannya penulis terkaya dalam sejarah. Kita juga mendengar kisah Soichiro Honda yang berkali-kali gagal, terkena bencana alam, perang, dsb, sebelum akhirnya bisa mendirikan perusahaan otomotif Honda. Jika bertanya kepada para tokoh sukses, hampir selalu mereka mengalami lebih banyak kegagalan daripada keberhasilan. Di sinilah uniknya. Mereka bisa mengalami banyak kegagalan (dan berusaha lagi), tapi hanya dibutuhkan satu keberhasilan untuk mereka dapat sukses membuat perubahan besar. Kegagalan juga sering kali menjadi pengalaman penting yang menjadi titik balik orang meraih keberhasilannya. Sayang, lebih banyak orang yang begitu takut dan berusaha menghindari kegagalan. Banyak orang takut melakukan sesuatu yang berpotensi membuat mereka dikritik. Banyak orang tidak berani mencoba hal yang belum pernah dilakukan orang lain, sehingga ada kemungkinan untuk gagal. Dan salah satu cara yang sering dilakukan orang untuk menghindari hal-hal tersebut adalah dengan tak mau mencoba, tak mau berusaha, dan memilih diam. Banyak orang merasa mengalami satu kegagalan akan membuat mereka gagal selamanya. Padahal, yang terjadi justru sebaliknya. Kegagalan bukanlah kata akhir. Amsal berkata, orang benar pun bisa jatuh atau gagal. Tak hanya sekali, tapi tujuh kali. Dalam budaya Yahudi, tujuh kali menunjukkan jumlah tak terhingga. Artinya, sekalipun kita sudah hidup benar, meski kita sudah melakukan yang terbaik, kegagalan masih bisa terjadi. Tapi, poin pentingnya adalah kita masih bisa bangkit kembali. Berapa kali Yusuf diperlakukan tak adil? Berapa banyak Daud hampir mati terbunuh? Jumlah masalah mereka jauh lebih banyak dari jumlah kemenangan mereka! Tapi, karena mereka tetap bangkit, maka kita kini mengenang mereka sebagai pribadi yang berkemenangan. Kita pun bisa mengalaminya! Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, berilah aku semangat untuk bangkit lagi saat aku jatuh terpuruk karena suatu masalah. Jangan biarkan masalah membuat aku meragukan kuasa-Mu. Yesus, Engkaulah andalanku. Amin. (Dod).

Let's talk about DOD trashing the Constitution and Latter-day Saints….

Setbacks don't send a calendar invite. They show up at 6 a.m. on a Teams call. In a hospital room. On a battlefield. George Tagg Jr. has met adversity at every one of those addresses. And every single time, he found a way forward. Attorney. Former DOJ Nazi hunter. A State Department and DOD official who negotiated in the Caucasus, was on the ground in Kyiv when Russia's invasion began, and managed the deconfliction line between U.S. and Russian forces in Syria. George has served across multiple presidential administrations. He is now founder and CEO of GTC 360 Advisors. And writing a book on resilience, including a chapter on dealing with bullies. Starting with Putin. But if you ask George, his hardest moments were never on a battlefield. Losing his grandparents young. Then his father, one of the most magnetic lobbyists in DC during the 90s, gone suddenly to a heart attack six months after 9/11. George was 20. He could have gone the other direction. Instead, he picked up the legacy, held onto the lessons, and kept going. That is what this episode is really about. Not the geopolitics. The process. A repeatable, human way of turning your worst moments into the thing that moves you forward. If you have ever faced a moment that felt unsurvivable, this one is for you.   Additional Resources: Connect with George on LinkedIn Learn more about GTC 360 Advisors Attend Unleashing Leaders University!

DOCKET ALERTS:   Doofus of the Day: George Santos, who is clearly trying to get himself back into jail. NPR reported that the former congressman bet against his own appearance at the State of the Union in February. After NPR reported that Kalshi had frozen his accounts and referred him to the CFTC and DOJ, Santos called up journalist Bobby Allyn and threatened him with "a gun in your face."   Also seeking a pardon: Sam Bankman-Fried.   Judge Leo Sorokin in Massachusetts blocked Trump's attempt to tax H-1B visas out of existence by imposing a $100,000 "fee."   MAIN SHOW:   Trump's lawyer Alejandro Brito is finding new and creative ways to piss off the judge in Trump's trollsuit against the BBC.   The DOJ is broken! Today's examples include: The DOJ telling the DC Circuit that it would be just fine for Trump to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty. A judge in Rhode Island referring DOJ lawyers for attorney discipline and sanctions. And a story from the New York Times about all the prosecutors who got pushed out because they wouldn't indict Trump's enemies.   Plaintiffs are trying to stop Donald Trump from hosting a UFC fight on the White House lawn.   SUBSCRIBER BONUS: The Department of Defense reduced the number of recognized religious faiths from 211 to 31 — they kept all the good non-woke ones, it's fine.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 10 Juni 2026Bacaan: Pencobaan-pencobaan yang kamu alami ialah pencobaan-pencobaan biasa, yang tidak melebihi kekuatan manusia. Sebab Allah setia dan karena itu la tidak akan membiarkan kamu dicobai melampaui kekuatanmu." (1 Korintus 10:13)Renungan: Ketika seorang guru memberi pertanyaan kepada muridnya, sesungguhnya guru tersebut bertanya bukan karena tidak tahu. Sang guru bertanya untuk menguji seperti apa pemahaman muridnya. Guru tersebut sebenarnya sudah punya jawaban dari pertanyaan yang ia berikan. Demikian juga halnya dengan hidup kita. Ketika Tuhan mengizinkan masalah, pergumulan, dan persoalan hidup datang dalam hidup kita, sesungguhnya Tuhan pun sudah punya solusi untuk tiap masalah yang kita hadapi. Dalam 1 Korintus 10:13 dikatakan, "Pencobaan-pencobaan yang kamu alami ialah pencobaan-pencobaan biasa, yang tidak melebihi kekuatan manusia. Sebab Allah setia dan karena itu la tidak akan membiarkan kamu dicobai melampaui kekuatanmu. " Artinya, Tuhan sudah menakar masalah kita dan memastikan bahwa ujian hidup itu sudah terukur. Seorang guru tidak mungkin memberikan soal siswa SMU kepada siswa SD, bukan? Demikianlah Tuhan sudah mengetahui bahwa masalah kita ada di dalam kesanggupan kita. Berikutnya dikatakan bahwa, "Pada waktu kamu dicobai la akan memberikan kepadamu jalan ke luar, sehingga kamu dapat menanggungnya." Kita yang dicobai, tapi Tuhan yang memberikan jalan keluar. Itu sebabnya, saat kita menghadapi masalah maka sudah seharusnya alamat pertama yang kita tuju adalah Tuhan. Ayat tersebut berkata dengan jelas bahwa Tuhanlah yang akan memberi jalan keluar, bukan orang lain, bukan juga diri kita sendiri. Tuhan memberi jalan keluar karena jawaban dari segala persoalan hidup kita sudah ada di tangan-Nya. Jika kita masih mencari-cari jawaban di luar Tuhan, alangkah bodohnya kita. Apakah saat ini kita sedang berhadapan dengan masalah besar? Jangan takut. Jangan khawatir. Serahkan masalah kita kepada Tuhan. Percayalah kepada-Nya dan jangan bersandar pada pengertian kita sendiri. Ketika kita mengandalkan Tuhan, kita akan melihat bagaimana dengan cara ajaib Tuhan akan menolong dan memberikan jalan keluar kepada kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk firman-Mu yang menguatkan hatiku. Tambahkanlah imanku agar aku semakin percaya dan mengandalkan Engkau saat masalah melanda hidupku. Amin. (Dod).

Electronic medical records (EMRs) have moved from a back-office upgrade to a frontline determinant of care quality, clinician burnout, and hospital economics. With U.S. hospitals often spending tens to hundreds of millions—sometimes exceeding $100 million—on EMR implementations, the stakes have never been higher for getting both the technology and the human adoption right. As healthcare continues shifting toward interoperability, outpatient care, and data-driven decision-making, the conversation around EMRs is no longer technical—it's strategic.So what does it really take to build a business in the EMR space—and more importantly, how do you know when it's time to walk away from it?Welcome to I Don't Care, hosted by Dr. Kevin Stevenson. In the latest episode, Dr. Stevenson sits down with Mark Embry, partner and co-founder of MedSys Group, to unpack decades of experience in healthcare technology consulting, the evolution of EMR implementation, and the personal side of exiting a company after 30 years.Top insights from the talk…How EMR consulting evolved from niche staffing to mission-critical healthcare transformation work: What started as staffing has become strategic work shaping how health systems operate.Why user adoption—not just technology—is the biggest determinant of EMR success: Without workflow change and clinician buy-in, even the best systems fall short.What founders should consider when transitioning out of a business they've built from scratch: A strong exit balances financial outcomes with team, culture, and timing.Mark Embry is the co-founder and EVP of Client Relationships at MedSys Group, where he has spent nearly three decades leading EMR advisory, implementation, and healthcare IT consulting services for providers across the U.S. He played a key role in building the company from its origins as Genesys Group into a nationally recognized firm supporting major initiatives, including federal EHR modernization projects with the DOD and VA. With over 20 years in IT consulting, Embry specializes in strategic partnerships, healthcare technology transformation, and scaling consulting organizations to deliver high-impact client outcomes.

Send us Fan MailGeoffrey Cain, author of Steve Jobs in Exile, joins Joe to explore one of the most overlooked chapters in Steve Jobs' life: the twelve years between his fall from Apple and his return to build one of the most influential companies in the world.This episode looks beyond the familiar story of the iPhone, iPod, and Apple's second act to examine the wilderness years that shaped Jobs into the leader we remember today. After being pushed out of Apple in 1985, Jobs was forced to confront failure, ego, rejection, and the limits of vision without discipline. What followed was a long and painful period of experimentation, mistakes, personal transformation, and eventual renewal through NeXT and Pixar.Geoffrey explains why the Steve Jobs who founded Apple was not the same Steve Jobs who returned in 1997. As a young leader, Jobs was brilliant but difficult, convinced of his own vision but often unable to listen to the people around him. At NeXT, that ego led to missed opportunities, broken relationships, and expensive failure. But over time, those same failures began to teach him the lessons he needed most: focus, discipline, humility, execution, and the ability to work within the limits of reality.Joe and Geoffrey also discuss:Why Steve Jobs' time away from Apple was not wasted, but formativeHow NeXT helped lay the foundation for the Apple products we use todayWhy genius without discipline can end in expensive failureHow Jobs' ego hurt NeXT and nearly destroyed his second actWhat Pixar taught Jobs about trust, creative restraint, and letting talented people do their workWhy failure can become the foundation for future successHow the “wilderness years” shape leaders before they return strongerWhy Jobs came back to Apple quieter, more focused, and more willing to listenWhat leaders can learn from Jobs' journey through failure, reinvention, and returnThis episode is for anyone who has ever gone through a hard season and wondered whether it was wasted. It's also for leaders, builders, creatives, and entrepreneurs who want to better understand how failure, if we are willing to learn from it, can become the preparation for our most important work.A special thanks to this week's sponsors!Dunedain Systems is a veteran-founded defense technology company building Warmind, an AI platform that accelerates military planning, operations, and document generation.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 8 Juni 2026Bacaan: "Diberkatilah orang yang mengandalkan TUHAN, yang menaruh harapannya pada TUHAN!" (Yeremia 17:7)Renungan: Seorang penebang pohon dari desa terpencil membeli gergaji mesin karena orang-orang berkata gergaji itu akan membuat pekerjaannya lebih cepat dan rapi. Tapi, beberapa hari kemudian ia kembali ke toko yang menjual gergaji itu dengan marah. "Gergaji apa ini! Pekerjaan saya malah tidak selesai-selesai dan hasilnya buruk!" Pemilik toko mengamati gergaji itu. Apakah rusak? Pikirnya. la menarik tuasnya dan gergaji itu menyala lancar. Penebang pohon itu tersentak. "Suara apa itu?" Rupanya, selama ini ia memakai gergaji mesin itu seperti gergaji manual, tanpa dinyalakan mesinnya! Banyak di antara kita sama saja seperti penebang pohon di cerita tadi. Ini terjadi saat kita mencoba mengubah hidup kita dengan mengandalkan kekuatan sendiri. Ini terjadi ketika kita menghadapi masalah dan berusaha mengatasinya dengan cara kita sendiri. Pada akhirnya kita hanya akan kelelahan dan hasilnya pun jauh dari apa yang kita harapkan. Padahal, ada cara yang jauh lebih baik yaitu dengan mengandalkan kekuatan Tuhan. Jika gergaji mesin dapat memotong kayu dengan jauh lebih cepat dan rapi karena memakai teknologi mesin, maka mengandalkan kekuatan Tuhan juga akan membuat hidup kita berubah dengan lebih sempurna. Ketika Daud terjepit dan tak ada yang bisa menolongnya lagi, ia menguatkan kepercayaannya kepada Allah (1 Sam. 30:6). Ketika Simson sudah kehilangan kekuatan dan penglihatannya, bahkan menjadi bahan olok-olokan orang Filistin, ia berdoa minta kekuatan dari Tuhan dan di momen itulah ia berhasil menewaskan lebih banyak orang Filistin dibanding saat ia masih kuat (Hak. 16:28-30). Paulus pun memiliki apa yang ia sebut sebagai "duri dalam daging". Namun, ia justru bisa bermegah dalam kelemahannya itu, karena ia tahu kuasa Kristus turun atasnya (2 Kor. 12:7-10). Contoh-contoh itu menunjukkan betapa bodohnya jika berpikir kita bisa mengandalkan kekuatan sendiri. Kita hanya akan kelelahan, depresi, putus asa, dan tak puas. Andalkan dan berharaplah pada Tuhan, sebab dari Dialah berkat itu datang. Turuti petunjuk-Nya karena Dia saja yang tahu masa depan kita dan berkuasa atas hidup kita! Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ajarilah aku untuk senantiasa mengandalkan Engkau dalam setiap permasalahan hidupku, sehingga aku tetap kuat dan punya pengharapan. Amin. (Dod).

Nous sommes possiblement vers la fin du Ier siècle de notre ère, à Patmos, une île de l'archipel du Dodécanèse, dans la mer Égée. C'est là qu'un certain Jean, que l'on identifie traditionnellement comme l'apôtre Jean, aurait reçu des visions. Il en fera état dans ce que l'on appelle le « Livre de la Révélation », dernier livre du Nouveau Testament. On peut y lire : « Alors je vis : de la bouche du Dragon, de la bouche de la Bête et de la bouche du Faux Prophète, trois esprits sortir tels des grenouilles. Ce sont des esprits de démons faiseurs de prodiges qui approchent les rois du monde entier pour les rassembler pour la guerre du grand jour de Dieu, le Tout-Puissant. Voici, je viens comme un voleur. Heureux qui veille et garde ses vêtements, de peur d'aller nu et de laisser voir sa honte. Ils les rassemblèrent dans le lieu appelé en hébreu Armageddon. » Armageddon, un mot qui en est venu, à travers les siècles, à signifier la fin du monde, l'apocalypse et, par contagion, à désigner les catastrophes plus ou moins importantes. Quels sont les fondements culturels et géopolitiques de cette apocalypse. A quelle réalité nous renvoie-t-elle ? Peut-on sortir du mythe en interrogeant divers discours, notamment, celui des évangélistes américains ? En quoi la crise climatique réactive-t-elle ce que le sociologue Gérald Bronner nomme l'anthropophobie, c'est-à-dire la haine de l'autre ?

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu, 7 Juni 2026Bacaan: Beritakanlah firman, siap sedialah baik atau tidak baik waktunya, nyatakanlah apa yang salah, tegorlah dan nasehatilah dengan segala kesabaran dan pengajaran." (2 Timotius 4:2)Renungan: Ada seorang tentara yang bercerita bahwa selama karir militernya, sudah berkali-kali ia ditugaskan ke daerah konflik. Setiap kali akan berangkat, kesedihan mendalam dirasakannya karena harus berpisah dengan keluarga. Hal yang membuatnya sedih bukanlah perpisahan itu sendiri, melainkan kenyataan kalau ia bisa saja kelak pulang tinggal nama karena gugur dalam tugas. Namun, ia amat memahami tugas dan kewajibannya sebagai tentara sehingga ia tetap berangkat menunaikan tugas. Seperti tentara yang selalu siap sedia melakukan tugas yang diamanatkan padanya, demikian juga kita sebagai orang percaya harus selalu siap sedia melakukan tugas yang diamanatkan oleh Tuhan. Salah satu tugas tersebut adalah memberitakan firman. Sayangnya, banyak orang percaya yang masih beranggapan bahwa tugas tersebut merupakan tugas pastor, biarawan, biarawati, guru agama, dan para aktivis gereja. Pemikiran ini tentu saja keliru! Sebab, sesungguhnya Tuhan mempercayakan tugas memberitakan firman kepada semua orang yang telah menerima keselamatan kekal dari-Nya. Artinya, apapun profesi yang kita geluti, memberitakan firman dalam kehidupan sehari-hari adalah keharusan. Sekalipun kita adalah seorang ibu rumah tanggap sepenuh waktu, kita juga harus melakukannya. Memberitakan firman tidak identik dengan pengkhotbah mimbar, akan tetapi hal yang Tuhan inginkan adalah kita menceritakan tentang Tuhan Yesus kepada orang-orang di sekitar kita, melalui tutur kata; sikap dan perbuatan; pola pikir; etos kerja; dan seluruh hidup kita. Singkat kata, memberitakan firman adalah menunjukkan kehidupan yang mencerminkan kasih dan karakter Kristus. Dengan demikian, tidak ada lagi alasan bagi kita untuk tidak melakukan panggilan Tuhan, yaitu memberitakan firman-Nya sampai keujung bumi. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, urapilah seluruh keberadaan diriku, agar melalui pikiran, perkataan, perasaan dan perbuatanku aku dapat mewartakan kasih-Mu, sehingga banyak orang semakin mengenal Engkau sebagai Sang Sumber Kasih dan keselamatan. Amin. (Dod).

SAM.gov contracting strategy is more powerful than most gurus admit, and Ryan Atencio has the insider data to prove it. Ryan spent years in the military writing the statements of work that became DOD solicitations, and he reveals that the vast majority of those requirements were completely unforecasted or unforeseen at the start of the fiscal year. If you have been told that by the time an opportunity hits SAM you have already lost, this episode delivers the reality check that could be costing you contracts right now. In this episode, Ryan Atencio break down: Why the popular LinkedIn advice that "by the time you see it on SAM you already lost" is wrong for most contractors, and how Ryan wins the majority of his contracts fair and square from open SAM.gov competitions How the nature of DOD procurement, where end users often don't know their own requirements until the fiscal year is underway, creates a level playing field that small businesses can exploit Why "failure to team is a failure to win" and how to identify the right teaming partner by targeting companies whose capabilities are the complete opposite of yours to expand your opportunity pipeline What makes an ideal consulting client: a veteran SDVOSB construction company with competitive pricing, an industry Rolodex, and proposals that are losing on execution rather than on price How Ryan structures his consulting engagements with a lower monthly retainer paired with a 2% gross contract value success fee, and why aligning incentives this way drives better outcomes for both sides EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Mindy AI finds your federal contracts daily 0:30 - Eric Coffie welcomes you to Federal Help Center 0:57 - SAM.gov opportunities are fairer than gurus claim 1:43 - Unforecasted DOD requirements create a level playing field 3:06 - Teaming with complementary partners expands what you can win 5:16 - Proposal quality and graphics separate the real winners 5:42 - Veteran SDVOSB construction client is a consultant goldmine 7:05 - Structuring retainer fees and the success fee model Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

V bilančním rozhovoru mluví o promeškaném čase s rodinou, o tom, proč nechce být senátorkou do svých osmdesáti let, i o tom, proč se v politice za poslední roky zhoršil přístup k ženám. Bývalá šéfka dolní komory v rozhovoru vzpomíná také na zákulisí české politiky: „Vždycky jsem měla v povaze být samotným vojákem v poli. Netrápilo mě, že mě kolegové nebrali s sebou na pivo, kam šli domlouvat nějaké tahy ve Sněmovně,“ říká. Během své kariéry na sebe několikrát upozornila ostrými výroky nebo symbolickými gesty. Ve Studiu N připustila, že několikrát přestřelila: „Možná jsem někdy prchlivá ve výrocích a někdy to přepálím.“ Dodává ale, že za jejími reakcemi stojí obava o směřování země. „Vidím, jak to úsilí, které vyvinula spousta generací před námi, jde vniveč. Jak se dostávají k moci lidé, kteří tam nemají co dělat.“ Řeč přišla také na bilanci polistopadové éry. ODS byla součástí vládní moci po významnou část existence samostatného Česka a nese tak svůj velký díl odpovědnosti za stav země. Co její politická generace podcenila, že dnes Česko trápí nedostupné bydlení, regionální rozdíly, složitý stát i klesající důvěra lidí v instituce? Proč se jí nikdy nepodařilo dostat na nejvyšší politické pozice, o které usilovala? Jak si vysvětluje proruské názory zakladatele ODS Václava Klause? A co demokratické strany zanedbaly, že vyklidily prostor populistům a extremistům? Podívejte se na celý rozhovor.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Sabtu, 6 Juni 2026Bacaan: "Latihan badani terbatas gunanya, tetapi ibadah itu berguna dalam segala hal, karena mengandung janji, baik untuk hidup ini maupun untuk hidup yang akan datang." (1 Timotius 4:8)Renungan: Selama ini orang berpendapat bahwa pergi beribadah ke gereja hanya merupakan wujud rutinitas keagamaan. Bila kita termasuk orang yang berpendapat seperti itu, maka berubahlah. Sebab ada penelitian yang menyatakan bahwa pergi beribadah ke gereja berdampak positif pada kesehatan. Salah satunya mampu menurunkan tekanan darah. Hal ini tentu saja berkaitan erat dengan ketenangan yang diperoleh seseorang saat ada di gereja dan melakukan penyerahan diri kepada Tuhan. Rasul Paulus memang hidup berabad-abad silam, tetapi ternyata ia juga sependapat bahwa ibadah amat bermanfaat bagi yang melakukannya. Itu yang dimaksudkannya dalam kalimat "ibadah itu berguna dalam segala hal." Seharusnya memang ibadah tidak boleh dipandang sebagai kewajiban yang harus dilakukan setiap orang demi membuktikan dirinya memiliki agama, melainkan salah satu kebutuhan utama yang harus dilakukan demi mendapatkan kualitas hidup yang lebih baik secara jasmani maupun rohani. Akan tetapi kesadaran bahwa beribadah merupakan kebutuhan utama juga harus diikuti oleh sikap yang benar ketika melakukannya. Firman Tuhan mengajarkan bahwa ibadah tidak semata-mata hadir di tempat ibadah, melainkan juga kesediaan kita untuk merendahkan diri kepada-Nya, mengaku dosa, mengampuni sesama, menyerahkan semua persoalan pada kehendak Tuhan, serta percaya bahwa campur tangan kuasa Tuhan akan membuat segala perkara berakhir dengan baik. Jika kita melakukannya, tentu tidak ada lagi alasan bagi kita untuk merasa khawatir. Saat itu terjadi, kita akan lebih damai sejahtera dan bersukacita. Pada gilirannya, sukacita dan damai sejahtera itulah yang akan membuat tubuh kita sehat. "Hati yang gembira adalah obat yang manjur, tetapi semangat yang patah mengeringkan tulang" (Ams. 17:22). Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, bukalah hatiku agar aku senantiasa mau datang ke rumah-Mu untuk ibadah tanpa paksaan tetapi karena aku membutuhkan Engkau. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 5 Juni 2026Bacaan: Tetapi la berkata: "Yang berbahagia ialah mereka yang mendengarkan firman Allah dan yang memeliharanya." (Lukas 11:28)Renungan: Biksu Matthieu Ricard disebut oleh beberapa ilmuwan dari Universitas Wisconsin, Amerika Serikat, sebagai orang yang paling bahagia yang pernah mereka uji. Rahasianya terletak pada meditasi. Meditasi adalah kunci untuk melatih otak. Ricard mengatakan bahwa orang yang berbahagia adalah orang yang melatih otaknya. Lalu, apa yang dipikirkan Ricard saat bermeditasi? Hasil scan otak menunjukkan bahwa ketika Ricard merenungkan kasih sayang, otaknya menghasilkan gelombang gamma. Gelombang ini erat kaitannya dengan kesadaran, perhatian, pembelajaran, dan memori. Gelombang inilah yang memicu seseorang merasakan kebahagiaan dan mengurangi kecenderungan terhadap hal negatif. Para peneliti menyebutnya sebagai neuroplastisitas dan mereka menganggap hal ini sungguh luar biasa. Dunia mengakui bahwa kebahagiaan bisa diraih dengan meditasi, dengan merenungkan kasih sayang, menenangkan diri, dsb. Bagaimana kata firman Tuhan mengenai kebahagiaan? Alkitab kaya sekali dengan kata "berbahagia". Salah satunya yang Tuhan Yesus katakan bahwa orang yang berbahagia adalah orang yang mendengarkan firman Allah dan memeliharanya. Meditasi bagi orang Kristen adalah sarana merenungkan firman Tuhan, bukan jalan untuk memperoleh kebahagiaan. Sedangkan kebahagiaan itu sendiri akan diperoleh ketika kita mampu menjaga keseimbangan antara merenungkan firman-Nya dan menerapkannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Demikianlah, merenungkan firman Tuhan saja belumlah cukup, karena firman itu harus dilakukan agar utuh dan sempurna. Tuhan Yesus berfirman bahwa orang yang berbahagia bukanlah orang yang sekadar mendengarkan firman, tetapi juga yang mau melakukannya dengan taat dan setia. Apakah hidup kita sudah bahagia? Apakah kita sudah pantas disebut sebagai orang paling bahagia di dunia ini? Jika belum, marilah kita hari ini memperhatikan dan melakukan sabda-Nya dengan taat dan setia. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk setiap firman yang boleh aku baca setiap hari. Bantulah aku agar firman yang kubaca dapat ku laksanakan dalam hidupku sehari-hari, sehingga sukacita-Mu dapat tinggal di dalam hatiku. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 4 Juni 2026Bacaan: "Karena masa depan sungguh ada, dan harapanmu tidak akan hilang." (Amsal 23:18)Renungan: Tabonya Siddiqui mengalami luka permanen Jakibat insiden yang dialaminya saat kecil di Dhaka, Bangladesh. Usianya masih 8 tahun saat lampu minyak yang ia nyalakan karena listrik padam, tiba-tiba meledak. Api melalap tubuhnya hingga memerlukan pemulihan yang lama dan melalui serangkaian operasi yang menyakitkan. Namun itu semua tidak menghalanginya meraih cita-cita menjadi model. Impiannya terwujud ketika dipercaya menjadi model Next, produk fesyen ternama. Tanpa memanipulasi cacat fisiknya, ia berhasil mewujudkan mimpi. Siapapun ingin memiliki masa depan yang baik, tetapi jika melihat masa lalu, latar belakang, tingkat pendidikan, dan lingkungan kita berada, tidak jarang diri sendiri merasa keinginan memiliki masa depan yang baik adalah sesuatu yang muluk. Padahal, tidak ada satu impian yang terlalu muluk bagi setiap orang yang bersungguh-sungguh berusaha mewujudkannya. Sebenarnya perasaan tersebut muncul karena kita telah membatasi kemampuan diri sendiri. Jika perasaan itu tidak disingkirkan dapat menjadi penghalang terbesar kita untuk mewujudkan impian. Alkitab mencatat banyak kisah orang yang tetap memegang mimpinya meski di tengah situasi sulit. Salah satunya adalah Yusuf yang tetap percaya bahwa kelak dirinya akan menjadi orang paling mulia di tengah keluarga dan saudara-saudaranya. Itu sebabnya, ia mampu bertahan saat menghadapi masa-masa sulit, baik ketika dijual oleh saudara-saudaranya, difitnah istri Potifar, hingga saat berada di penjara. Yusuf sadar, jika ia menyerah dengan keadaan maka masa depan yang indah itu pasti tidak akan pernah dimilikinya. Apapun situasi yang kita hadapi saat ini, mari katakan pada diri sendiri untuk selalu optimis. Percayalah bahwa ada masanya awan kelam kesukaran akan berlalu dari hidup kita untuk berganti dengan pelangi yang indah! Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, kuserahkan keterbatasanku ke dalam tangan-Mu. Sempurnakanlah apa yang menjadi kekuranganku, sehingga bagaimanapun keadaanku, asal Kau ada bersamaku, maka hidupku bisa berdampak bagi banyak orang. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 3 Juni 2026Bacaan: "Pergilah! Tuhan menyertai engkau." (1 Samuel 17:37b)Bacaan: Suatu hari, seorang pemuda melamar pekerjaan ke suatu perusahaan. "Selamat, Anda diterima menjadi supir di kantor ini. Mulai besok Anda sudah bisa bekerja," ucap manajer HRD kepada seorang pelamar. "Hmmm... maaf pak, bagaimana kalau saya bekerja mulai minggu depan saja?" jawab si pelamar. "Lho, mengapa begitu?" tanya manajer HRD keheranan. "Karena satu minggu ini saya harus kursus mengemudi terlebih dahulu, pak," jawab pelamar itu dengan mantap. Cerita tersebut memang hanya humor belaka. Terlepas dari itu, ada pelajaran menarik yang bisa kita ambil, yakni sikap berani si pelamar menerima tantangan sebagai supir padahal ia sendiri belum bisa mengendarai mobil. Sikap berani itu juga pernah ditunjukkan oleh Daud saat memutuskan untuk melawan Goliat. Kita tahu bahwa Daud tidak memiliki pengalaman perang sebelumnya, apalagi perang melawan raksasa yang selama ini ditakuti oleh bangsa-bangsa lain. la hanya mempunyai pengalaman melawan binatang buas, seperti singa atau beruang. Mengapa Daud berhasil mengalahkan Goliat padahal ia belum mempunyai pengalaman di medan perang? Karena Daud memutuskan dan maju berperang bersama Allah (ay. 45). Seperti halnya Daud, tantangan dalam kehidupan ini juga pasti ada. Tantangan dapat membuat nyali kita ciut, tetapi tantangan dapat membuat kita bertumbuh. Ini tergantung bagaimana kita merespon tantangan tersebut. Belajar dari Daud, hadapilah tantangan dalam hidup kita bersama Tuhan. Pandanglah Tuhan, bukan tantangan yang ada di hadapan kita! Dengan demikian, keberanian kita untuk menaklukkan tantangan akan semakin besar dan tantangan akan semakin kecil. Saat ini, sebelum kita beraktivitas, pastikan diri sendiri bahwa Tuhan ada dipihak kita, karena Dia adalah Sumber kekuatan dan keberanian kita untuk menaklukkan tantangan apapun yang ada di hadapan kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk setiap tantangan yang aku hadapi selama ini. Aku bersyukur, selama aku mengandalkan Engkau, semua tantangan itu dapat aku lewati dengan baik. Amin. (Dod).

Trump news fatigue is real. That's not an accident — it's the playbook. Exhaust the public, contaminate every institution, and the most radical agenda in modern American history slides through while we're too tired to notice. On episode 538, Paul Rieckhoff delivers a solo Manosphere Monday briefing for the angry middle: the people who are done with the rigged two-party system but refuse to check out of the fight. Paul breaks down acting Secretary of Culture War Pete Hegseth blocking the promotions of at least seven Navy women and minority officers, leaving a one-star admiral slate with zero women. He unpacks Graham Platner's escalating problems in Maine and what the Democrats' all-in posture says about a party that keeps doing Democrat things. He gets into Jaxon Dart introducing Trump at a partisan campaign event and why Trump contaminates everything he touches — including the New York Giants. Plus Scott Pelley calling out the murder of 60 Minutes, Iran suspending talks, the Bab al-Mandab threat, and a mailbag from a DoD civilian combat vet getting the shaft on pay.

Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide and see behavioral design applied to real products and services: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Eleanor Ross, Creative Director at Expert Theory and one of the youngest recipients of the National Training and Simulation Association's Top Under 40 award, breaks down how she designs wargames and simulations that put learners inside high stakes decisions instead of watching from the outside. She walks through the moment a Team USA group tried to buy Greenland mid game, the Logic, Function, Form framework she uses to build every simulation, and a year long Taiwan resilience exercise she ran for the Irregular Warfare Center. Listeners come away with two best practices that make any simulation stick, a debrief discipline and deliberate role reversal, plus a clear view of how AI tools now let a team produce news articles and role player materials in under ten minutes. Ross also makes the case that heavy topics like terrorism, invasion, and irregular warfare land harder when they are engaging, and that good design starts by deciding what people should feel when they walk out. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts.

Key Takeaways In an early Arctic simulation run as an alpha test for the Canadian Department of National Defense, a Team USA group went off script and tried to buy Greenland, a move no one had prepared for, which forced Ross to build the response live. Ross and her team at Expert Theory adjudicated that unplanned move and used their AI backend to produce news articles, tweets, and formatted materials for a role player in under ten minutes, a turnaround the wargaming community historically treated as impossible. Her Logic, Function, Form framework stacks design like a pyramid: Logic defines what players should know and feel on the way out, Function defines the actors and goals that get them there, and Form covers constraints like the 30 or 90 minute time box. A quality debrief is the most important best practice in simulation design, because the takeaways people carry out are set up by the structured discussion, not by the game itself. Putting participants in roles they would never hold, such as US military officers playing the Somali government or the US embassy in a Fort Bragg deployment game, forces the perspective shift that makes the lesson land. Ross builds her design philosophy on Rutger Bregman's Humankind and its claim that people are inherently good, using games to surface the nuances behind how opposing sides actually see themselves.

May 30, 2026, 8 AM; Trump pulled off a clean sweep in Republican primary battles, driving out or sidelining candidates he deems insufficiently loyal. However, as Republicans look ahead to the general, Trump says the midterms are the least of his concerns amid negotiations with Iran. Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's campaign says it raised $3M in just 24 hours after Ken Paxton's runoff victory. President and CEO of Voto Latino Maria Teresa Kumar and Dave Weigel join The Weekend to discuss the upcoming Texas Senate election in November. Rep. Jim Clyburn also joins The Weekend to discuss Republicans' redistricting campaign and offers some advice to the Democratic party.

Tucked into the Pentagon's budget materials for fiscal 2027 is a request for more than $2 billion to purchase command-and-control technology licenses and engineering support for the U.S. combatant commands, Joint Staff and National Guard Bureau. That total includes more than $1.5 billion to expand defense users' access to Palantir's Maven Smart System in support of the Defense Department's “Joint Force AI-Enabled Headquarters initiative” and $60 million for the “Virtual Joint Operations Center (VJOC) initiative.” Little has been disclosed publicly about those two efforts to date, and a Pentagon spokesperson declined to share more information about them with DefenseScoop this week. However, the budget documents indicate that the department is looking to swiftly consolidate “software-centric C2 onto a single pane of glass” over the next fiscal year. The DOD's foundational concept for Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2), which broadly involves breaking down long-standing boundaries between the military services to enable a unified network where all sensors and shooters can seamlessly connect, started to take clear shape in the early 2020s. A House subcommittee will hold an open hearing next week on how frontier artificial intelligence models are shaping the cybersecurity landscape, for good and for ill. The June 4 hearing will be the second the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection has held that was focused at least in part on the subject, following a similar hearing held in December. But unlike at that joint subcommittee hearing, where members also examined other emerging technologies, AI takes center stage next week. It caps a series of closed-door meetings of the Homeland panel where members and staff have been evaluating the intersection of AI and cyber.

Military freight is one of the most misunderstood corners of trucking. Most owner-operators hear about Department of Defense freight and immediately assume: it's impossible to access, only big fleets can get it, or the system is too complicated to understand. But the reality is deeper than that. In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, Adam sits down with Philip Nenadov, CEO of Military Freight Consultants, to break down how military freight actually works, why the system operates under a completely different standard, and what small carriers misunderstand most about getting involved. This conversation digs into: Why military freight demands tighter compliance Why most carriers struggle to qualify The difference between transactional freight and trusted freight How the DoD views risk and carrier accountability Why discipline matters more than truck count And what the broader trucking industry can learn from military logistics This is not a sales episode. It's a real discussion about standards, structure, and what separates professional carriers from everyone else. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

ESG StuffBP removes chairman Albert Manifold over governance issues 9The board said the decision was unanimous. In a statement, Amanda Blanc, BP's senior independent director, described the board as having been caught off guard by what it found: "The board has been surprised and disappointed to learn of governance oversight and conduct issues it deems unacceptable and has taken decisive action."The company did not elaborate on the specific nature of the concerns.Ian Tyler has been named interim chair, BP said, with the board set to begin a formal process to identify a permanent successor: "The Board and leadership team have deep conviction in the strategic direction we have laid out, and the company is moving at pace to deliver it."Manifold took up the chairmanship just last October. At last month's annual general meeting, just 81.8% of shareholders backed his electionAmong the most consequential decisions of Manifold's short tenure: pushing out former CEO Murray Auchincloss and overseeing the selection of Meg O'Neill to succeed him — a hire that marked the first time BP had recruited an external CEO and the first time a woman had led one of the oil industry's largest players.Tulsi Gabbard Exit Marks Fourth Woman to Leave Trump Cabinet 0Apology TourBank boss sorry after describing workers as 'lower value human capital' 7Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters triggered a massive PR firestorm by describing the bank's plan to replace back-office staff with automation as replacing "lower-value human capital" with financial investmentStandard Chartered is cutting roughly 7,800 jobs—representing about 15% of its global back-office corporate support roles—over the next four years to make room for AIAfter internal anger and blistering public criticism, Winters posted a formal apology for his "choice of words." However, he initially fueled the fire by attaching the full interview transcript to justify his broader context, drawing further criticism for being defensiveIn his first attempt to quiet the storm, Winters leaned heavily into the corporate strategy rather than apologizing for the specific phrasing: "I said that lower-value roles are more vulnerable to automation, and that we have a responsibility to help colleagues move into higher-value roles. That is what a responsible employer should do. We will continue to speak honestly about the impact of technological change, and we will continue to act responsibly in helping our people to adapt and succeed."After a barrage of negative comments on his first post, Winters returned to LinkedIn later that day to offer an explicit apology for his phrasing: "I have received a lot of support for the messages in my previous post but still get questions about my choice of words, which I know has caused upset to some colleagues. For that I am sorry.""I think the transcript makes it clear that I value our colleagues – all of them – most highly and that we are totally committed to helping them to cope with the accelerating pace of change in our industry."JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon says bank chief's viral AI comment was 'inartful' Dimon downplayed the viral backlash against Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters—who drew fire for saying his bank would replace "lower-value human capital" with technology—calling it an "inartful" slip-of-the-tongue from a friend.Neopbabies and Dropout babiesJames Murdoch to acquire New York Magazine and Vox Media Podcast Network -1Bolt CEO says he let go of his entire HR team for creating problems that didn't exist: ‘Those problems disappeared when I let them go' 6Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow justified firing his entire Human Resources department by claiming they actively manufactured internal frictionThe aggressive purge follows a brutal 97% collapse in Bolt's valuation—crashing from an $11 billion peak in 2022 down to $300 millionTraditional HR has been entirely swapped for a skeletal "people operations" team, shifting the focus away from employee complaints and internal processes toward basic compliance training and empowering managers to make split-second decisionsAlongside gutting HR, Breslow rolled back employee-friendly benefits like four-day workweeks and unlimited PTO, claiming a culture of complacency had taken over and that 99% of his legacy workforce was simply unwilling to work hardRyan dropped out of Stanford in 2014 to launch BoltThe Middle School Boy Man Babies Rule the WorldMan Drives Cybertruck Into Lake to Test Elon Musk's “Boat” Claims, and It Went About as Well as You'd Guess -10"The passengers abandoned the vehicle and the driver was arrested."Tesla CEO Elon Musk:randomly tweeted that the vehicle would function as a rudimentary flotation device.“It will even float for a while.”“[The vehicle would be able to] traverse at least 100m [330 feet] of water as a boat.”“Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even seas that aren't too choppy.”Jeff Bezos urges US government to stop taxing 50% of America — and claims doubling his taxes won't help ‘that teacher in Queens' 400Jeff Bezos backs Mamdani's tax on luxury second homes, but says Ken Griffin isn't the villainJeff Bezos on Zohran Mamdani's big mistake: ‘When you don't know how to solve a problem, create a villain, blame them'Jeff Bezos says there is ‘no truth' to the ‘buy borrow die' tax strategyBillionaires Openly Use It: Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has historically pledged over $30 billion worth of his Oracle stock as collateral for personal bank loans.

According to data from market-intelligence firm Tracxn, more than 130 BCI startups have been launched since 2016.Why Is Mark Zuckerberg Taunting His Employees Before Firing Them? 20Back in April, Meta announced it was laying off 10 percent of its workforce, or around some 7,800 workers. Unlike traditional layoffs, which are enacted relatively quickly, Meta gave its employees a nearly month-long warning period without announcing who exactly would be headed for the unemployment line.In newly leaked audio from an all-hands meeting at Meta, released by More Perfect Union, the Meta CEO seems to actually be taunting the thousands of workers who were about to be let go by pointing to how the company was harvesting employee data to train its in-house AI models ahead of the massive layoffs.“So we're in a phase where basically the AI models learn from heaving real, from watching really smart people do things. And if you're trying to get it to be able to be able to do certain capabilities, having [AI] be able to observe really smart people doing those things is, is very important.”Going on, Zuckerberg explained that it was better to train AI on soon-to-be-former Meta employees, rather than “contract companies.”“In general, the average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks if you're working through… contractors,” Zuckerberg stammered. “So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally, um, build tools that, or, or solve tasks that, um, that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our models coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do.”Intuit to Cut 17% of Staff, Invest in ‘Big Bets' 3The restructuring cost is estimated at about $300 million to $340 millionAbout 3,100 employees: and invest the savings in “big bets” as it makes artificial intelligence a centerpiece of its business.Woke WarsTexas AG Sues ISS Over ESG Considerations 0Texas AG Ken Paxton (in a senate race) is suing ISS for allegedly “misleading” customers by pushing “radical political agendas” through its proxy adviceNotably, ISS has attempted to obstruct ExxonMobil's planned reincorporation from New Jersey to Texas“ISS has enormous influence over how billions of dollars are invested and managed across this country, and they have abused that influence in order to push woke ideology”Iowa AG Brenna Bird sues ISS, says advice risks retirement savingsIowa Attorney General Brenna Bird is suing the world's largest proxy-advice firm for abusing its influence and threatening Iowans' retirement savings by "lying" to investors.Stakeholders Rule!Wells Fargo must pay $100M to help homebuyers after discrimination lawsuit — 51 cities are eligible 7The settlement, which was recently approved by a federal judge in California, comes after four years of legal disputes involving Wells Fargo shareholders, former employees and job applicants who accused the bank of systemic problems in both lending and hiring practices.While Wells Fargo denied wrongdoing, the company agreed to the deal to avoid prolonged litigation and mounting legal costs.The case centered on allegations that Wells Fargo's board failed to maintain adequate oversight of the bank's mortgage lending operations, exposing the company to regulatory scrutiny and accusations of discriminatory practices.According to reporting from Realtor.com, plaintiffs accused the bank of “widespread and systematic discrimination in lending” and cited concerns over lending algorithms and refinancing approval patterns.The lawsuit stated that Wells Fargo was allegedly the only major lender in 2020 to reject more refinancing applications from Black homeowners than it approved.Airbus, Air France Hit With Manslaughter Charges Over Pilot Training Failures in Deadly 2009 Flight 447 Crash 1A Paris appeals court delivered a dramatic verdict in one of the longest-running and most complex legal sagas in aviation history. The court overturned a 2023 acquittal and found both Airbus and Air France guilty of corporate manslaughter for the tragic 2009 crash of Flight AF447.The ruling marks a massive victory for the victims' families after a 17-year legal battle. A lower court had previously cleared the European planemaker and the French airline in 2023, ruling that while errors were made, a direct causal link to the crash couldn't be proven. The appeals court completely rejected that logic, declaring the companies "solely and entirely responsible" for the disaster.Ride-Share Drivers in Massachusetts Formally Unionize 100The App Drivers Union said it was the first organization in the country to be formally certified to represent drivers for apps such as Uber and Lyft.In a news release, the organization, the App Drivers Union, said it would represent nearly 70,000 workers in Massachusetts who now have the power to collectively bargain.MATTA very special “who do we blame for SpaceX IPO governance” gameFirst, some S-1 highlights:“Starlink internet is what's being used to pay for humanity getting to Mars.” - MuskTranslation: We don't care much about Starlink, it's just paying our AI billsHe's not kidding: $3.2bn revenue for Starlink, net income of $1.2m$0.6bn revenue for rocket ship, net income of -$0.6bn$0.8bn revenue for AI, net income of -$2.5bnThis isn't a space company - it's classic Musk - you buy the vision (“To build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary, to understand the true nature of the universe, and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars.”), but what you're really buying is an internet company that spends all its money on AI and does some rockets on the sideLet someone else invent the car (Tesla) and make them sexy with “big visions” for “humanity”Let someone else invent the rockets, build new ones using someone else's moneyLet someone else invent the satellites, put a whole bunch in space (and buy more satellites from someone else)Musk initially took the role of “Chief Engineer”, but every engineering task seems to have been the other employees - he supplied the moneyShoehorned AI into space exploration because…?Grok is designed as a truth-seeking AI model, built on our founder Elon Musk's mission to enable humanity to understand the universe.

The Defense Department is requesting close to $30 billion in fiscal 2027 to purchase and enable next-generation AI supercomputers and modernize the military's computing infrastructure to power them. According to recently published budget documents, the Pentagon aims to build out its portfolio of highly secure data centers, and ultimately centralize and scale supercomputing assets across the joint force through its new “AI Arsenal initiative.” The fiscal 2027 proposal comes with a $29.5 billion spending plan. This proposed funding increase is up for consideration as DOD is hustling to integrate commercial AI models into battle management and warfare operations, threat detection and analyses, supply chain logistics and more. A Pentagon official told DefenseScoop: “The department's AI Arsenal initiative is an investment in foundational, government-owned AI infrastructure to maximize federal buying power and build the strategic advantage we need.” The House Small Business Committee continued its push last week to make the agency it oversees embrace artificial intelligence in its work, advancing a new AI-focused bill aimed at more transparency around those efforts. In a Wednesday markup, the committee unanimously approved the SBA Artificial Intelligence Utilization Act (H.R. 8881) from Reps. Brad Finstad, R-Minn., and George Latimer, D-N.Y. The legislation would require the Small Business Administration to provide a yearly report to Congress on its use of AI and machine learning, detailing the benefits, risks and related issues. Additional oversight on SBA's AI program from the committee comes in the wake of a Government Accountability Office report this month that called attention to years of SBA failures to comply with federal requirements on AI use case inventories. In March, the agency publicly posted its inventory — two months past the Office of Management and Budget deadline, but for the first time in SBA history nevertheless.

The Space Show Presents Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar, Friday, 4-17-26Quick Summary:The Space Show featured Paul Worley, CEO of Ascent Solar, discussing their flexible thin-film solar technology. Paul explained that their CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Sulfide) panels are lightweight, rollable, and designed to fit specific areas, offering 12.5-14% efficiency and costing $35-70 per watt compared to silicon's $3-10 per watt. The panels have been tested in space and can withstand radiation better than silicon, with applications including satellites, drones, high-altitude platforms, and underwater systems. Paul noted their panels can be deployed and rolled up multiple times, with TRL9 certification from a previous space mission. The company is publicly traded on NASDAQ as ASTI and focuses primarily on DoD and commercial space markets, with plans to expand in MEO, GEO, and lunar applications in the coming years.Detailed Summary:Our program focused on technical discussions about space missions and power requirements. Paul explained different power levels for various orbital ranges, noting 450-600 watts per kilogram for MEO and GEO missions, and 150-250 watts per kilogram for lower orbits. The group discussed the format of an upcoming 60-minute space show, with participants introducing themselves and their backgrounds. Technical issues with audio echo were identified but not fully resolved before the end of the meeting.Paul explained the cost and efficiency differences between various solar panel technologies for space applications. He clarified that gallium arsenide panels cost $250-350 per watt, silicon panels cost $3-10 per watt, and their SIGS (Copper indium gallium sulfide) technology costs $35-70 per watt. Paul also described how their technology uses a different coating (XBR) for underwater applications, allowing panels to be submerged at 500 meters and recharge on the surface.Paul further discussed the development and specifications of their flexible solar panel technology, highlighting its advantages over traditional silicon wafers, including being 3-10 times lighter and providing roughly 4 times the power. The discussion covered the technology's performance in high-pressure environments, manufacturing considerations, and potential applications in space, including lunar manufacturing and satellite deployment. Paul mentioned having a SpaceX founder on his advisory board and noted their current customers include a communications satellite company, with plans for manufacturing in space, as well as potential applications in drones, HAPS, and underwater systems.Paul discussed their company's solar panel technology, explaining that if a panel is damaged by space debris, electricity can still flow around the damaged area. He confirmed they are in talks with multiple space companies, though he declined to name specific clients. When asked about operating temperatures, Paul clarified that their panels can operate between -100C to +100C in space conditions, though he couldn't specify the exact temperature without cooling systems. The discussion ended with Paul highlighting their product's key advantage of faster delivery times compared to traditional gallium arsenide panels, though he didn't complete the specific timeline comparison.Paul discussed the efficiency of their flexible solar panels, explaining they measure between 12.5% and 14% efficiency in secondary cells. Marshall inquired about the durability of rolling up the panels, to which Paul confirmed they can be rolled up hundreds or thousands of times without damage, citing their TRL9 rating achieved through underwater testing. Paul also mentioned their product is patented and not restricted by ITAR, though they primarily market to Europe and India rather than China or other restricted regions.Paul talked about his company's solar product, highlighting its durability and competitive advantage over Chinese alternatives in the consumer market. He explained that while the product was previously used in camping and military applications, current focus areas include DOD commercial applications, space, and potentially drones. Paul noted that while residential rooftop installation is financially viable, it's not part of their current strategy due to reinforcement requirements for buildings. The discussion concluded with an unasked question about cell density per square meter from John Hunt, which was not answered in the provided transcript.Deployable solar panel technology, explaining that their panels can produce power at 60% angle while most silicon panels require 30-40% angle for power generation. He described different deployment mechanisms including roll-out systems and origami structures, noting that cost and mass of the support system are significant factors. Paul also mentioned that their technology is currently too expensive for widespread residential use, with installation costs being a major barrier, and that 40% of roofs would require reinforcement.We covered ongoing R&D efforts to improve product efficiency and reduce waste, including work with perovskite coatings and a collaboration with a company that has developed 400 patents around perovskite technology. The team conducted initial space testing with different FEP thickness coatings, though the sample size was too small for definitive conclusions. Paul mentioned that additional radiation and atomic oxygen testing would be conducted in the next 2-3 months, and he expected data from the Novi satellite launch on SpaceX's rocket within 2-3 weeks, including information about deployment and space debris impact.The meeting also focused on discussing Paul's space solar panel technology company, ASTI, which is publicly traded on NASDAQ. Paul explained that while the company receives about one legitimate space-related business inquiry per week through their website, they typically require NDAs to share technical details about their solar panels, which can withstand higher temperatures and radiation than traditional silicon panels. The discussion revealed that ASTI's competitive advantage lies in the flexibility of their panels, allowing them to outperform silicon panels in certain curved or complex applications. Paul noted that while the company is well-funded and manufactured-ready, the next major power push in space is expected in the third and fourth quarters of next year.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentWe use Zoom phone numbers for program participation.For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Send us Fan MailSam Yo, Peloton instructor, former West End theater performer, and author of The Monk's Mindset, joins Joe to talk about discipline, mindfulness, and learning how to bring the right effort to every part of our lives.Joe and Sam explore Sam's journey from early success on the stage to life in a Thai monastery, and eventually to Peloton. Along the way, they discuss what it means to slow down, reflect, build daily anchors, and stop confusing constant movement with meaning.Joe and Sam also discuss: Why life is more like a jigsaw puzzle than a straight line  How early success can still leave us feeling restless  What Sam learned from entering a monastery with only five possessions  The difference between discipline and self-destruction  Why meditation isn't about clearing the mind  How small morning anchors can shape the rest of your day  Why we should celebrate small wins instead of rushing past them  What “right effort” means when no one is watching  How Sam's monastery lessons shaped his work at Peloton Whether you're navigating a transition, trying to build better habits, or feeling pulled through life on autopilot, this episode is for anyone looking to slow down, reconnect with the present, and bring more intention to the way they show up each day.
