The huddle is one of the quietest moments in football—and one of the most revealing. Before the play is called, before anyone moves, a team comes together in a space where trust, tone, and connection matter more than words on a whiteboard.In this episode of The Game Inside the Games, Dr. Michael Gervais and All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall go inside the huddle to explore what really happens in the moments before action. Rather than breaking down strategy or schemes, the conversation focuses on culture—how relationships show up under pressure and how teams signal belief, accountability, and presence when it counts.Drawing on lived experience, Gervais and Marshall examine how the huddle becomes a mirror for a team's inner life. Who speaks. Who listens. How people respond when the moment feels heavy. These subtle dynamics often shape what happens next, long before the ball is snapped.This is a grounded, human conversation about connection, leadership, and shared responsibility. And while the stories come from the highest level of football, the insight applies far beyond the field—to meetings, decisions, and the moments we all face just before we act.Follow Finding Mastery all week as The Game Inside the Games continues to unpack the inner game at global sporting events,, available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen._____________This episode is brought to you by CDW and Microsoft.

Episode 3449: Nick Maggiulli explores the paradox of wealth perception, highlighting how even billionaires like Lloyd Blankfein don't see themselves as rich. Drawing on Tolstoy's timeless story and modern data, he reveals how relative comparisons and social networks distort our sense of financial well-being, reminding us that we're likely far wealthier than we realize. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ofdollarsanddata.com/who-feels-rich-really/ Quotes to ponder: "If your net worth is greater than $4,210, then you are wealthier than half of the world." "Most people at the upper end of the income spectrum think they are less wealthy than they actually are." "There is no right answer, because 'being rich' is a relative concept. Always has been and always will be."

February has already brought powerful solar flares, heightened astrological activity, and a collective sense of disruption that many people are feeling deeply. In this Soul Elevation livestream, Kara Goodwin shares personal reflections on how chaos can still find us even when we consciously step away from social media, politics, and external noise. This conversation explores how intense solar activity, full moon energy, and current astrological transits can amplify emotional reactions, conflict, physical symptoms, and unexpected events in our personal lives. Kara reflects on recent experiences in her own community and family, and how these moments reveal a larger truth about the times we are living in. Drawing on insights echoed by astrologer Steve Judd, Kara zooms out to look at the purpose behind disruption. She explains why chaos often accompanies awakening, how collapsing systems make space for higher consciousness, and why these uncomfortable moments may be necessary for a more aligned reality to emerge. Steve's episode: https://www.soulelevationpodcast.com/steve-judd This livestream is an invitation to return to embodiment, to anchor into your higher self, and to allow pure source consciousness to radiate through you as a stabilizing force in the world. Rather than resisting the intensity, Kara offers perspective, reassurance, and spiritual grounding tools to help you move through it with clarity and trust. If you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally charged, or unsure why everything feels so amplified right now, this message is here to remind you that you are supported, needed, and divinely guided through these times.  

In this episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump reflects on a pivotal moment unfolding across Badlands Media as new developments around the Georgia runoff and Fulton County come into sharper focus. Drawing directly from CannCon's reporting and his own deep dive into Badlands programming, Matt walks through the emotional and informational flood surrounding election integrity, the preservation of evidence, and the significance of recent legal and federal actions tied to Georgia's ballots. The conversation explores how fragmented reporting, lost digital records, and narrative control have shaped public understanding since 2020, while emphasizing the importance of timelines, primary evidence, and methodical reconstruction of events. Matt also examines the role Badlands hosts and audiences have played in sustaining investigative momentum when mainstream avenues shut down inquiry. This episode centers on reconnecting the dots, restoring context, and framing the Georgia runoff revelations as part of a much larger story still unfolding—one that demands patience, precision, and historical clarity.

In Episode 80 of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost breaks down a significant press conference following a high level meeting between Colombian President Gustavo Petro and President Trump, focusing on what it reveals about the global drug trade and shifting geopolitical alignments. Drawing directly from Petro's remarks, the episode explores how drug trafficking power no longer sits with armed groups in the jungle, but with international financial networks operating out of major global cities. Ghost walks through the details of recent multinational cocaine seizures, including narco submarines intercepted near Colombia and the Azores, and explains why these operations signal a move toward intelligence driven, top down targeting of the true “bosses of bosses.” The discussion also examines Petro's rejection of sanctions, his criticism of traditional drug war tactics, and his emphasis on economic reform, crop substitution, and international cooperation. Throughout the episode, Ghost connects these developments to broader questions of sovereignty, diplomacy, and the future of coordinated global enforcement efforts, highlighting why these events may represent a meaningful shift in how transnational crime is confronted.

The Author's Guide to Strategic SponsorshipsThe principles of sponsorship apply directly to book authors planning launches, tours, or large-scale promotional projects. Drawing from the strategies used by major events and industry experts, here are the top 10 reasons book authors should seek sponsors.1. Get Substantial Financial SupportSponsorship provides authors with direct funding to cover essential costs that might otherwise be unaffordable. This cash sponsorship can be used to fund a book tour, rent larger event spaces, or hire high-profile speakers and entertainers for a launch party. Financial sponsors provide these funds in exchange for promotional benefits and visibility, allowing an author to scale their projects without paying entirely out of pocket.2. Enhance Credibility and LegitimacyPartnering with well-known or respected brands can legitimize an author's work in the eyes of the public. When a reputable company aligns its identity with your book or event, it signals to potential readers and attendees that the project is high-quality and worth their time.3. Access In-Kind Goods and ServicesAuthors can reduce their overhead by securing in-kind (trade) sponsorships. Instead of cash, sponsors might provide the venue for a reading, catering for a launch event, or high-value technology and equipment. These partnerships allow authors to offer a premium experience to their readers while shaving off significant event expenses.4. Reach New and Targeted AudiencesSponsors often provide an author with a platform for discovery by introducing the book to their existing customer base. By identifying sponsors who share a similar target demographic, an author can tap into new networks of readers that they might not reach through traditional marketing alone.5. Increase Media CoverageSecuring a media sponsor—such as a newspaper, magazine, or radio station—can lead to free advertising and live reporting on an author's activities. This kind of sponsorship is specifically designed to boost awareness and attendance, potentially resulting in skyrocketing engagement and website visits.6. Improve Attendee ExperienceSponsorship allows an author to provide exclusive perks that enhance the reader's experience. This can include anything from providing free merchandise and goodie bags to hosting interactive activations that make a book launch more memorable and immersive.7. Capture LeadsSponsored events are excellent environments for capturing attendee data and generating leads for future book sales. Authors can use sponsorship to gain deeper insights into their audience's demographics and interests, which is a valuable asset for long-term marketing strategies.8. Network and Build Long-Term PartnershipsA single sponsorship deal can be the first step toward a multi-event collaboration or a strategic partnership. Building long-term relationships with brands provides authors with a stable foundation of support for future book releases and career growth.9. Boost Social Media ExposureMany sponsors look for opportunities to improve their own digital performance, which results in increased social media mentions for the author. Partnering with influencer sponsors can further amplify this effect through social media takeovers or shout-outs to a captivated audience.10. Increase Revenue and SalesBy using sponsors to attract more people to an event, authors naturally generate more revenue through increased book sales. Sponsorships allow authors to keep ticket prices lower for their fans while still ensuring the project is a profitable business rather than just a donation.Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

Stefan Molyneux digs into questions about what it means to exist, focusing on how to line up daily life with some sense of virtue and direction. He stresses the need for courage when pushing back against what society expects, and points out that being honest with yourself is key to real freedom. Drawing from a story about his own take on Macbeth, he unpacks the mess of moral choices and the inconsistencies in how society operates. Molyneux notes how conformity often gets rewarded, while ignoring your true voice leads to real drawbacks. In the end, he pushes for matching what you want with actions that hold moral weight, which can lead to stronger bonds with others and a deeper sense of satisfaction.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Jenny Blake, author of "Free Time," reveals how her father—an architect who gives ruthless editorial feedback with his "WKIYB" abbreviation (we know it's your book)—taught her to eliminate unnecessary qualifiers and strengthen her writing. Drawing from her experience creating a paid family newsletter at age 11 with 50 subscribers, Blake has always been entrepreneurial, guided by her mother's lesson: "you should always know how to support yourself." As the breadwinner in her marriage who rejects traditional domestic roles, Blake challenges societal pressures on both men and women around earning and gender expectations. She introduces the "time-to-revenue ratio"—a missing P&L metric that measures how much time it takes to generate revenue—arguing that revenue, ease, and joy aren't mutually exclusive. Blake dismantles Benjamin Franklin's "time is money" myth, explaining that business owners aren't rewarded for butt-in-seat time and that working less actually requires more sophistication through systems, automation, and delegation. Her three-part framework—align, design, assign—helps entrepreneurs optimize what's now, not just navigate what's next. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today on Mea Culpa, I revisit an earlier conversation with new urgency. Back in September, I sat down with Dr. Steven Hassan, mental health expert, author, and host of the Cults, Culture & Coercion podcast, to examine how MAGA functions less like a political movement and more like a system of psychological control. Drawing on his own experience surviving the Moonies cult and decades of research into coercive influence, Hassan breaks down why Trump's followers remain fiercely loyal despite constant chaos, corruption, and contradiction. While the headlines have shifted since this conversation first aired, the patterns have not. Putin remains central, the Epstein files remain unreleased, and collective amnesia has set in around events that happened only months ago. This episode asks whether the MAGA movement is finally fracturing as Trump turns on the very values his base once claimed as sacred.

https://teachhoops.com/ Tim Sweeney, currently the head coach at Connecticut College, offers a masterclass in how to build a program centered on mindfulness, precision, and deep-rooted relationships. Having spent years at Davidson under the legendary Bob McKillop—including the historic 2008 Elite Eight run with Stephen Curry—Sweeney's philosophy is anchored in the "Cycle of Reflection." He teaches that a coach's most powerful tool is the ability to step back and analyze the why behind every outcome. By fostering a culture of gratitude and intentionality, he ensures that his players are not just physically prepared, but mentally anchored, allowing them to remain poised during the high-pressure NESCAC conference schedule. A hallmark of the "Sweeney Standard" is the belief that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. He advocates for doing a few things at an elite level rather than being mediocre at many. This approach is particularly evident in his emphasis on "Special Situations"—those final two minutes of a half where games are often won or lost. By drilling these scenarios with collegiate-level intensity, he removes the fear of the unknown, giving his athletes the confidence to execute their roles with clinical precision. For Sweeney, program building is about vertical integration; every drill in practice must directly translate to a game-day advantage, ensuring a consistent identity from the opening tip to the final buzzer. Ultimately, Coach Sweeney's success at Hobart and Connecticut College proves that leadership is a relationship-driven enterprise. Drawing from the McKillop model, he balances high-demand standards with high-level personal care. This "Trust Equity" is what allows him to push his players to their absolute ceiling. As you look to evolve your own program, Sweeney's roadmap suggests that the most enduring cultures are those where the coach acts as both a tactician and a mentor. By prioritizing character recruitment and emotional intelligence, he has created a sustainable blueprint for success that transcends the X's and O's, proving that how you lead is just as important as what you teach.

Talking with kids about sex, pornography, and sexuality can stir up fear, shame, and a deep sense of inadequacy for many parents. In this episode, Dan and Rachael sit down with author and parent-educator Laurie Krieg to think through a steadier, wiser way forward—one rooted in the gospel, attunement, and ongoing relationship rather than one-time "big talks." Drawing from her new book "Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World," Laurie shares her own journey as she offers parents help to move from reactivity to intentionality. She names why these conversations feel so overwhelming—often because of our own unresolved stories—and invites parents to do their own work so they can show up with courage and calm.  Rather than avoiding hard topics or responding with fear and control, Laurie offers concrete, age-appropriate ways to engage kids through many small conversations over time, helping parents become the trusted "anchor" their children return to when confusion, curiosity, or exposure inevitably arises. This conversation is especially helpful for parents navigating early exposure to pornography, online content, and rapidly changing technology. Laurie shares practical language parents can use, how to reduce shame when kids encounter inappropriate material, and how to frame boundaries not around fear, but around God's beautiful design for bodies, intimacy, and care.  Throughout, the emphasis is clear: it's never too late to begin, repair matters more than perfection, and wisdom is something parents can grow into—step by step—as they walk alongside their children in a complex world. ===== About the Allender Center Podcast: For over a decade, the Allender Center Podcast has offered honest, thoughtful conversations about the deep work of healing and transformation.

For more than a decade, Sir Sajid Javid was at the heart of power in Britain. First elected in 2010, he rapidly rose to his first cabinet position as Culture Secretary. The son of a bus driver and comprehensive school-educated, he was one of the few cabinet members from a working-class background. He went on to hold several ministerial roles under three different prime ministers including Chancellor of the Exchequer under Boris Johnson.  In February 2026 he came to the Intelligence Squared stage to share lessons from his time in government. Drawing from his new memoir The Colour of Home, he also revealed his story of a childhood marked by poverty and racism, and explored his thoughts on Britain's multiracial society.  ---- This is the first instalment of a two-part episode.

What if conflict is not a sign that something is wrong, but proof that something matters, and we were never taught how to handle it?In this eye-opening episode of Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with Kimberly Best, RN, MA, a mediator and conflict management expert who spent years in critical care before dedicating her career to helping people navigate the conversations they avoid most.Kimberly explains why conflict is normal, why silence often causes more damage than honesty, and how emotional regulation and curiosity can completely change outcomes in marriage, parenting, divorce, and the workplace. Drawing from lived experience, mediation practice, and deep compassion, this conversation reframes conflict as a skill set problem rather than a people problem and offers practical tools listeners can use immediately.5 Key Takeaway → Conflict is normal and does not mean a relationship is broken → Silence and avoidance often cause more harm than difficult conversations → The person is not the problem. The problem is the problem → Emotions are information and learning to regulate them changes everything → Listening with curiosity creates better outcomes than trying to be rightQuotes from the Guest“The most important conversations are often the ones we are not having.”“Conflict is normal. We do not have people problems.

Derek closed 56 transactions for approximately 15 million in volume while raising a large family of eight children, with another on the way. He shares how shifting away from a lead heavy, grind based team model and embracing the Ninja approach transformed both his results and his quality of life. Derek describes his early years on a lead generation focused team as a hamster wheel that did not align with his values or his family priorities. Discovering Ninja Selling introduced a relationship centered model built on service, trust, and depth rather than volume and pressure. In 2025, Derek produced his best year yet by staying persistent, tracking his numbers closely, prioritizing meaningful live conversations, and building business with people who know, like, and trust him. A key theme of the conversation is depth over small talk. Drawing from his military background, Derek explains how he naturally gravitates toward substantive conversations and emotional connection, which has become a differentiator in his real estate business. He focuses on long, intentional one on one interactions rather than high frequency surface level contacts, creating an integrated business that feels natural rather than exhausting. With the support of Ninja Coaching and Coach Mark Johnson, Derek also shares how coaching helped him live more on purpose, stay inspired, and remain accountable to the fundamentals that drive consistent growth. Key Takeaways Relationship based business scales better than lead based grinding when aligned with your values and life priorities. Persistence compounds over time and momentum builds like adding cars to a train year after year. Deep conversations outperform small talk by creating trust, emotional connection, and long term loyalty. Tracking your numbers creates clarity and confidence in decision making and business planning. Live conversations do not need to be high volume if they are meaningful, intentional, and unhurried. Auto flow can be simple and personal through consistent mail, newsletters, and authentic updates. Memorable Quotes "If you work hard and do the right things, good things will happen." "I hate small talk." "When it's a friend calling, it doesn't feel like work." "This year didn't feel like a treadmill." "I believe an integrated life is a powerful life." "I was created to love and serve others." "Just relax, take a deep breath, and focus on what you can control." "Coaching helped me move from living on accident to living on purpose." "I've never had a conversation where I wished I hadn't had it."

In this deep and revealing conversation, Jungian psychoanalyst Susan Schwartz explores the hidden psychology of narcissism, love, trauma bonds, and why relationships with narcissists feel so addictive yet devastating. Drawing on Jungian theory, mythology, and decades of clinical work, she explains why narcissism forms, why empaths are drawn in, why healing a narcissist rarely works, and how real recovery comes from self-knowledge, boundaries, and inner work.

In this episode of The DO Show, Dustin Owen shares hard-earned insights on intentionally scaling a loan origination business. Drawing from over 20 years of hands-on experience in the mortgage industry, he explains why crucial mindset shifts, operational thinking, clear processes, thorough documentation, and disciplined use of time are essential for achieving sustainable, long-term growth. Owen challenges common misconceptions about what it takes to expand a business, warning against the pitfalls of relying solely on personal effort or charisma to drive results. Instead, he emphasizes the necessity of building robust systems and repeatable frameworks that enable true scalability, allowing a business to thrive even as it grows beyond the capacity of any single individual.   Throughout the episode, Owen stresses the importance of gaining clarity on goals and objectives, tracking key metrics to measure progress, and exercising patience as new strategies and systems take root.

Good news: You don't have to live for your critics anymore.John Ortberg looks ahead to Lent and invites us into a bold, freeing experiment: giving up condemnation altogether; the kind we receive, the kind we rehearse in our own heads, and the kind we quietly pass along to others. Drawing from the apostle Paul, John explores the reality that we all live with three critics:- Other people- Ourselves- And GodThe surprising twist? Freedom doesn't come from silencing the first two, it comes from a category shift in how we understand the third.Today's Resources:Lewis B.

Send us a textWhat if the most political act in history was God taking on human flesh? In this episode, Bishop Wright has a conversation with former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby to explore what it means to follow Jesus in a complex, pluralistic, and politically charged world. Drawing on the Incarnation, John 14, and decades of global ministry, Welby reflects on human dignity, solidarity with all people, and why an apolitical Jesus is no savior at all. From interfaith neighborliness to immigration, public witness, and the courage required of the church today, this episode invites listeners to imagine a faith rooted in Christ, lived boldly in context, and marked by hope, humility, and love. The claim is simple and bracing: following Jesus means honoring the dignity of every person and showing up where life is fragile, complicated, and real. Listen in for the full conversation. Justin Welby was Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the Anglican Communion from 2013 to 2024. Born in London in 1956, he was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied history and law. For 11 years—five in Paris and six in London—he worked in the oil industry; his booklet, Can Companies Sin?, drew on this corporate experience and evolved from his dissertation at theological college. He was Bishop of Durham, Dean of Liverpool Cathedral, and Canon of Coventry Cathedral, whose international reconciliation work he led for five years. As Archbishop of Canterbury, he set three priorities for his ministry: a renewal of prayer and religious communities across the Church; supporting churches and Christians to be agents of reconciliation and peace-making in places of conflict; and encouraging and inspiring Christians to share their faith. Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

After the Washington Post announced newsroom cuts affecting more than a third of its journalists, Michael Smerconish examines whether criticism of Jeff Bezos is fair—or misplaced. Drawing on commentary from Hanna Rosin and Glenn Kessler, Michael explores the economics of modern journalism, the consequences of editorial decisions, and whether a billionaire owner has a special obligation to sustain a legacy newsroom.

Parshas Yisro: Built To Last At Har Sinai, G-d speaks directly to the Jewish people, forging an eternal covenant through the Aseres HaDibros.

Drawing on Michael's experience across investing, advisory, and media, the conversation explores how shifting market structure, technology, and education are reshaping distribution strategies.

They discuss: Why education is the primary driver of private market adoption in the wealth channel How different GP profiles should think about whether and how to pursue private wealth distribution The rise of evergreen structures and the operational and cultural demands they place on managers How consolidation in wealth management is changing allocator behavior and GP relationships Why brand, identity, and authenticity matter more than ever for alternative managers Links: Broadhaven Ventures - https://www.broadhaven.vc/ Michael On LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelsidgmore/ Alt Goes Mainstream Podcast - https://altgoesmainstream.substack.com/podcast Brandon on LinkedIn - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/⁠ Juniper Square - ⁠https://www.junipersquare.com/⁠ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:03:05) - Michael's career journey and insights (00:09:13) - Market structure and evolution (00:20:13) - GP profiles and wealth channel strategies (00:26:22) - Education and allocation in private markets (00:29:43) - Navigating the wealth channel (00:30:04) - Leveraging industry-wide education initiatives (00:33:52) - Building a personal brand in finance (00:41:57) - Shifting business models in wealth and asset management (00:48:30) - Exciting prospects for the future (00:53:01) - Conclusion and final thoughts

In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, retired FBI profiler James Fitzgerald analyzes the mysterious abduction of Nancy Guthrie, whose disappearance suggests a level of planning and psychological sophistication rarely seen in kidnapping cases. James explains how forensic linguistics can expose hidden motives through ransom notes, message patterns, and subtle word choices — and why details like camera tampering, timing, and behavioral cues may be more important than physical evidence. Drawing on lessons from some of America’s most complex criminal investigations, he shows how language, victimology, and intent intersect to narrow suspects and uncover deception. As the clock ticks, the stakes grow higher. With survival odds declining over time, law enforcement faces not just urgency, but a maze of misdirection, psychological manipulation, and possible external influences that complicate the search.

Join Dr. Arun Seraphin and Moshe Schwartz for a detailed discussion of NDAA acquisition reforms and why this legislation could represent one of the most significant defense acquisition reform packages in decades. Drawing on Moshe's deep defense acquisition expertise, the conversation breaks down what changes to acquisition policy were enacted, what did not make it into law, and how Congress and the Department of Defense are aligned on implementation.The discussion examines major acquisition changes introduced in the FY26 NDAA, including expanded acquisition authorities, best-value decision-making, commercial-first acquisition preferences, and new roles and responsibilities across the defense acquisition workforce. Moshe and Arun analyze the potential impact of these reforms on defense contractors, including nontraditional defense contractors, with a close look at implications for intellectual property rights, consumption-based acquisition models, sustainment strategies, and the elevated roles of portfolio acquisition executives and product support managers within the Department of Defense.Etherton and Associates: https://www.ethertonandassociates.com/ETI's Insights into FY26 NDAA: https://www.emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org/publications/insights/fy2025ndaaFY26 NDAA: https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/s1071/BILLS-119s1071enr.pdfBe sure to follow us on social media for updates, inside scoops, & more:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8 And for more podcasts, articles, & publications all things emerging tech, check out our website at: https://bit.ly/47oA5K1

Joanna Coles speaks with Jason Zengerle, author of "Hated By All the Right People," about how Tucker Carlson went from dodging Donald Trump's phone calls to becoming one of the most powerful forces shaping Trumpworld. Drawing from Zengerle's new book, they unpack Tucker's unusual method of influencing Trump through television, his spectacular fallout with Fox News, and why being fired may have supercharged his relevance. The conversation traces Tucker's early skepticism of Trump, his carefully managed realignment to Trump, his role in boosting JD Vance, and how he helped mainstream Viktor Orbán's authoritarian playbook while flirting with Putin apologism. Coles and Zengerle also explore the deeply personal roots of Tucker's worldview, including his fraught relationship with his mother, who left when he was a child and later cut him out of her fortune—an abandonment that may help explain his hunger for control, audience, and power. Is Tucker a cynical opportunist, a true believer, or something more unsettling—a movement leader with ambitions that stretch well beyond media? Hosted on Acast.

Stefan Molyneux digs into the Epstein case, exploring what it means for the social contract. He points out that brushing it off as just another scandal misses the real shifts happening in society. Drawing a parallel to how people act in their own neighborhoods, he shows the stark gap in how the elite are held accountable compared to everyone else. That gap prompts questions about whether we can trust those in power and if our political systems hold up, pushing for a closer look at the uneven moral rules at play.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

How Can Christians Turn Groans into Growth By Responding to Ecological Grief?   In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, host Curtis Chang talks with Dr. Jonathan Moo, a decorated professor of both the New Testament and Environmental Studies, about why Christian creation care belongs at the center of discipleship. Drawing from Romans 8, Colossians 1, and Genesis 1–2, Moo connects biblical hope for new creation with practical action on climate change, stewardship, and loving our neighbors by caring for the places they depend on and enjoy. The conversation explores how faith and science can work together, why "dominion" looks like Christ-shaped service, and how small, local projects—from Uganda to Texas—offer tangible models of environmental renewal. Dr. Moo offers us a bigger vision of human flourishing, plus concrete next steps for Christians and churches to live joyfully and faithfully in God's world.   05:04 - How Do Jonathan Moo's Academic and Faith and Love for Creation Intersect? 07:51 - Romans 8 and Lament for Creation 17:38 - Salvation, Resurrection, and the Earth 22:08 - Practical Examples of Creation Care 27:01 - Motivating People To Move From Enjoying Nature To Actively Caring For It 31:24 - How Do We Address Interpretations of "Dominion"? 36:32 - Jesus as Model for Dominion 39:34 - Understanding Barriers Between Evangelicals and Science  47:16 - Engaging with Skeptics and Loved Ones 53:25 - Advice for Skeptics  55:11 - Practical Steps for the Environmentally Concerned   Episode Companion: Christians and Climate Change Guide 2   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter   Learn more about George Fox Talks     Mentioned In This Episode: Tools, Websites, and Organizations A Rocha USA Bull Creek Restoration Project Climate Stewards USA   Books and Authors Learn more about Aldo Leopold Learn more about Alister McGrath Learn more about Evelyn Waugh Learn more about Wendell Berry Debra Rienstra's Refugia Faith: Seeking Hidden Shelters, Ordinary Wonders, and the Healing of the Earth   Biblical Passages Colossians 1:15-20 (ESV) Romans 8 (ESV) Genesis 1 and 2 (ESV) Mark 12:30-31 (ESV)   Concepts and Ideas Carbon Calculator (use for offsets) Bio Sand Filters No Till Agriculture Mulching and Crop Rotation   More From Dr. Jonathan Moo: Jonathan & Douglas Moo's Creation Care: A Biblical Theology of the Natural World (Biblical Theology for Life) More about Dr. Moo: Whitworth professor acts as a wilderness guide A reminder of Dr. Moo's A.W.A.K.E. acronym   Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

Due to recent developments related to the Epstein Files and the recent public announcement of Sarah McCarthy, author of Blue Butterly, we have decided to publish the episode again. What if Jeffrey Epstein's secret wasn't just sex, but science? In her explosive new book Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor, investigative author Sarah McCarthy exposes the hidden story the media refused to tell. Drawing from Juliette Bryant's secret diary, McCarthy reveals a chilling world where elite scientists, intelligence agencies, and global leaders converged—using victims not only for blackmail, but for covert experiments in eugenics, cloning, and mind control. In this episode of Strange Planet, Richard Syrett sits down with McCarthy to crack open the darkest secret of our age: Epstein as prototype for elite power. GUEST: Sarah McCarthy is a South African-born investigative author who exposes the covert alliances between global elites, intelligence agencies, and controversial science. A former top copywriter for brands like Ogilvy & Mather and Burberry, she now applies her skills to uncovering hidden power structures.

In this urgent solo episode, Darin breaks down what may be the most dangerous fatal convenience of our time: the digital algorithms quietly hijacking our attention, biology, and sovereignty. Billions of dollars are being spent to keep you scrolling by triggering fear, shame, comparison, and low-grade stress, and the cost is your presence, peace, and power. Drawing from neuroscience, public health data, indigenous wisdom, and lived experience, Darin exposes how the modern digital environment is engineered to extract from us, and why reclaiming your attention is one of the most powerful acts of self-protection available today.

When you picture Heaven, what comes to mind? Harps, halos, pearly gates, and endless singing? If that's all Heaven is, it can seem quite disconnected from our lives today. But fortunately, Scripture paints a far richer and more relevant picture. In this conversation, Pastor Philip De Courcy invites you to rethink everything you assume about eternity. Drawing deeply from God's Word, Philip answers big questions like… What is Heaven—really?  Where do believers go when they die? What will we do in Heaven? Why do even nonbelievers feel a longing for eternity? Philip also touches on a few difficult topics we often wonder about, such as the reality of judgment, degrees of reward, and the resurrection of our bodies. But most importantly, Philip will help you see how a clear, biblical understanding of Heaven can completely transform the way you live right now.  SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/388  Enter to win the GIVEAWAY and read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

https://teachhoops.com/ Tim Sweeney, currently the head coach at Connecticut College, offers a masterclass in how to build a program centered on mindfulness, precision, and deep-rooted relationships. Having spent years at Davidson under the legendary Bob McKillop—including the historic 2008 Elite Eight run with Stephen Curry—Sweeney's philosophy is anchored in the "Cycle of Reflection." He teaches that a coach's most powerful tool is the ability to step back and analyze the why behind every outcome. By fostering a culture of gratitude and intentionality, he ensures that his players are not just physically prepared, but mentally anchored, allowing them to remain poised during the high-pressure NESCAC conference schedule. A hallmark of the "Sweeney Standard" is the belief that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. He advocates for doing a few things at an elite level rather than being mediocre at many. This approach is particularly evident in his emphasis on "Special Situations"—those final two minutes of a half where games are often won or lost. By drilling these scenarios with collegiate-level intensity, he removes the fear of the unknown, giving his athletes the confidence to execute their roles with clinical precision. For Sweeney, program building is about vertical integration; every drill in practice must directly translate to a game-day advantage, ensuring a consistent identity from the opening tip to the final buzzer. Ultimately, Coach Sweeney's success at Hobart and Connecticut College proves that leadership is a relationship-driven enterprise. Drawing from the McKillop model, he balances high-demand standards with high-level personal care. This "Trust Equity" is what allows him to push his players to their absolute ceiling. As you look to evolve your own program, Sweeney's roadmap suggests that the most enduring cultures are those where the coach acts as both a tactician and a mentor. By prioritizing character recruitment and emotional intelligence, he has created a sustainable blueprint for success that transcends the X's and O's, proving that how you lead is just as important as what you teach.

This episode centers on Brigham Young's insistence that death does not transform us into something fundamentally different, but removes limitations that currently slow us down. Drawing directly from a funeral sermon, the discussion highlights how embodied beings, including Christ, move, visit, and perceive real places with speed and purpose rather than existing as abstract spirits.  Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠  If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

Send us a textGriffin Brand and Dan Casey, co-authors of Bring Your Own Pencil: Bill Walsh's Playbook for Winning at Anything, join Joe to explore preparation, leadership, and what separates sustained excellence from short-term success.It's Super Bowl weekend, so football is part of the lens—but it doesn't stay there. The discussion moves from Bill Walsh and the San Francisco 49ers to Dyson vacuums, Raising Cane's chicken fingers, JSOC, and even 50 Cent. Different worlds, same underlying question: why do some people and organizations endure while others flame out?At the center is a simple idea: success is a lagging indicator. Drawing on Walsh's leadership philosophy, Griffin and Dan explain why outcomes take care of themselves when leaders focus on standards, habits, and ownership of preparation—long before performance is visible.From there, the episode broadens into leadership more generally: perseverance, the myth of overnight success, and how constraints can sharpen thinking instead of limiting it. A key theme is the idea of a permanent base camp—maintaining standards that keep teams within striking distance of excellence without burning them out.They also spend time on legacy. Not wins or titles, but people. The episode reinforces a simple measure of leadership: how many people succeed because you took the time to invest in them.Watch the full interview on YouTube!Joe, Griffin, and Dan also discuss: What “bring your own pencil” really means for leaders Alive time vs. dead time  How the path to the top is rarely a straight line How to sustain excellence without burning people or culture Why inputs matter more than outcomes How culture becomes real when it carries itself forward What legacy looks like when leaders step back Why the best leaders make their ceiling someone else's floorWhether you're watching the Super Bowl or leading a team far from the spotlight, this episode is a reminder that the work that matters most usually happens long before anyone is watching.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

This talk explores listening as a radical act of compassion at moments of loss, when words often rush in to ease our own discomfort rather than meet another's pain. We examine how common responses to grief—reassurance, advice, spiritual framing, or positivity—can unintentionally distance us, and how the impulse to fix subtly reinforces separation. Drawing on mindfulness and embodied awareness, the talk invites a shift from doing something helpful to being with what is most tender and real.   You'll learn how to recognize the fixing reflex as it arises, listen from the body rather than the mind, and rest in not-knowing without withdrawing or collapsing. Through practical guidance and reflection, you'll discover how simple, grounded presence communicates safety, dignity, and care—offering a form of support that does not try to resolve grief, but allows it to unfold and be held with wisdom and compassion.

Cartoonists Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett dig into the many ways we react to humor — from full-on belly laughs to the silent internal “that was good” response. After that the way, they tackle some big (and surprisingly relatable) topics:Are they actually going to use Patreon Quips?Dave's Bad 2025 — what went wrong, what he learned, and why it mattersWhy you never stop building an audience, even when things feel “established”And yes… being scared of Reddit comments is universal!SummaryIn this episode of Comic Lab, hosts Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar dive into the nature of humor in comics, prompted by a listener's question about whether funny comics truly elicit laughter or if they are simply enjoyable. Brad and Dave explore the subjective nature of humor, sharing their own experiences with laughter and recognition of craft in comedy. Next, they delve into the ongoing journey of building and maintaining an audience in the ever-evolving landscape of comics. They emphasize that there is no such thing as a 'built audience.' Audience engagement is a continuous process that requires constant effort and adaptation. Drawing on the metaphor of the Ship of Theseus, they discuss how creators must regularly replace and update their strategies to keep their audience engaged, acknowledging that audience members may leave for various reasons, including life changes or simply forgetting about the content.The conversation also touches on the emotional toll of negative feedback, particularly on platforms like Reddit, where creators often face harsh criticism. Brad and Dave share personal anecdotes about dealing with trolls and the importance of focusing on the positive aspects of audience engagement. They conclude by reinforcing the idea that the creative journey is ongoing, and that every creator must continually learn and adapt to thrive in the industry.Takeaways"Not every year is going to be gangbusters."There's no such thing as a built audience; you're always in building mode.Audience engagement is like the Ship of Theseus; it's constantly changing.You should aim to gain 2-6% new audience every month to replace those who leave.Negative comments often come from unhappy individuals; don't take them personally.Every creator must continually learn and adapt to thrive in the industry.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks to veteran Singaporean diplomat Prof. Kishore Mahbubani about his thesis that the 21st century will be remembered as ‘the Asian Century', and how the West can prepare peacefully and optimistically for China's return as the fulcrum of world history. Drawing on his books Living the Asian Century, Has China Won?, and Can Asians Think?, Prof. Mahbubani explains: Why the 21st century will be the Asian century and why this need not require Western decline How colonialism shaped Asian self-perception, and the need for intellectual decolonisation How other countries can adopt Singapore's model for success His meeting with Fidel Castro, Hafez al-Assad, and Yasser Arafat The hypocrisy of Western power and diplomacy How the United States keeps the UN weak on purpose Why Pres.

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy respond to a landmark legal case that is already reshaping conversations around gender, medicine, and parental fear. A 22-year-old woman, who identified as male as a teenager, was awarded $2 million after a jury found that medical professionals failed to follow standards of care when approving irreversible surgery while she was still a minor. The case raises sobering questions about pressure, fear, consent, and what happens when adults rush to solve a child's distress rather than fully understanding it. Rather than debating politics or policy, this conversation centers on parents, especially those who feel trapped between wanting their child to be safe, wanting them to be happy, and being told that immediate medical intervention is the only loving option. Dr. Kathy speaks candidly about how fear, particularly fear fueled by suicide narratives, can override discernment, silence conscience, create fear, and lead families to decisions they never imagined they would make. The episode explores a crucial distinction: dissatisfaction is not the same as identity. Many kids experience discomfort with their bodies, peer rejection, teasing, or confusion during puberty, but discomfort does not automatically require eradication. Dr. Kathy challenges parents to ask better questions, slow the process down, and help children understand why they feel dissatisfied before affirming irreversible conclusions. Drawing from Raising Gender-Confident Kids, the discussion reframes confidence not as denying struggle, but as building the moral and emotional "chest" that helps children hold discomfort without being swept away by fear or cultural pressure. Parents are encouraged to walk with their kids through seasons of confusion, offering presence, truth, protection, and endurance, rather than rushing to solutions that promise immediate relief but carry lifelong consequences. Rooted in Scripture, the episode reminds listeners that many temptations come dressed as compassion, offering partial truths without full disclosure of cost. Children are especially vulnerable to these narratives when adults bypass conscience in the name of urgency. True love, the hosts argue, does not panic; it shepherds. This episode offers parents courage, clarity, and hope: you are not cruel for slowing down, asking questions, or helping your child sit with discomfort. In fact, that steady presence may be the very thing that forms confidence, resilience, and lasting peace.

Growth marketing was built on continuous improvement — experiment, optimize, compound. But for many brand leaders today, growth no longer feels like it's compounding. Despite more data, more tools, and more optimization than ever before, ROI is slipping and hitting growth targets is getting harder. That's not a discipline problem. It's a growth marketing model problem. In this pillar episode, I break down why the traditional growth marketing model — including the AARRR framework (Awareness, Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, Revenue) — is no longer optimized for how modern consumers make decisions. Built for scale and efficiency in a general-market era, these models struggle in today's fragmented, identity-driven landscape. Drawing on insights from the American Marketing Association and a conversation with Bennie F. Johnson, this episode explores: Why growth marketing optimization is breaking down despite best practices How scale without intention creates friction across the funnel Where identity friction shows up across Awareness, Acquisition, Activation, Retention, and Revenue Why relevance — not reach alone — is now critical to sustainable growth How an identity-layered approach helps growth compound again This episode focuses on diagnosing why growth marketing stopped compounding — not tactical fixes, but how the underlying model needs to evolve to reflect how people actually make decisions today. If growth feels harder than it should, this episode explains why — and sets the foundation for what modern growth marketing requires now.

https://rumble.com/embed/v735nqy/?pub=84ufd On this episode of Jesus 911, host William Albrecht dives deep into Eucharistic miracles—what they are, why they matter, and what every Catholic should know about them. Drawing from Church teaching, historical evidence, and modern scientific investigations, William explains how these extraordinary events point to the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The discussion also addresses common objections raised by skeptics, including questions about authenticity, science, symbolism, and Church authority. William responds clearly and charitably, helping listeners understand how Eucharistic miracles fit within Catholic theology without replacing faith, but strengthening it. Whether you are new to the topic or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode equips Catholics to defend the faith, grow in Eucharistic devotion, and confidently answer questions about one of the most profound realities of Catholic belief.
