Every company promotes its best people into leadership, then sets them adrift with zero tools to actually lead. Tess Fyalka has spent 25 years cleaning up that mess. She's the founder of Angle Coaching & Communication, author of Walking the Leadership Ledge, and spent nearly a decade building leadership development infrastructure inside a mid-size commercial construction company before going independent. Two thousand ghostwritten articles and white papers later, she pulled the patterns into a book.In this conversation, Bill and Tess take on the promotion trap that quietly wrecks teams, the lie new leaders tell themselves to avoid hard conversations, and what it actually takes for a star individual contributor to become a real leader of people. Tess walks through "Betsy" — the kind of high-performer companies promote because they assume excellence is transferable, then watch flame out when the wheels come off the bus. She names the Big Lie directly: when a leader avoids a difficult conversation to "protect" their team member, they're really protecting themselves. And the cost of that avoidance compounds.They get into the inside-out nature of leadership development: you can't lead others well until you know your own values, your triggers, and what you're choosing to be in the role. Tess shares her BRRR framework for difficult conversations and why the imaginary scenarios in your head are almost never how the conversation actually plays out. Bill brings his own moments of getting it wrong, including the time he caught himself reflexively defending micromanagement. They close on the metaphor that gives the book its title: when you step into a new leadership role, you're standing on a ledge, and you don't know yet whether the drop is ten inches or ten thousand feet.In This Episode:Why the skills that earn a promotion actively work against you as a managerThe "Big Lie" ineffective leaders tell themselves to avoid hard conversations"Delengaging" — Tess's framework for delegating through genuine engagementThe Betsy problem: what happens when companies promote excellence and expect it to transferHow nearly a decade in commercial construction proved leadership development works anywhereWhy most delegation is really just dumping — and how to tell the differenceAbout the Book:Walking the Leadership Ledge: The "New" Leaders' Guide to Building Resilience and Confidence at Every Step.

Concerns are growing in East Clare following another incident of illegal dumping in the Kilkishen area, where a large quantity of household waste was discovered—some of which appears to have been deliberately set on fire at the roadside. Kilkishen Tidy Towns has strongly condemned the incident, saying burning rubbish is “never the answer” and highlighting the environmental and community impact of illegal dumping. The issue comes amid wider calls across Clare for stronger enforcement, with discussions ongoing about the potential use of CCTV in known dumping blackspots. To discuss what happened in Kilkishen, the impact on the local community, and what more can be done to tackle illegal dumping, Alan Morrissey was joined by Olivia King of Kilkishen Tidy Towns and O'Callaghan's Mills Fine Gael Councillor Conor Ryan.

The Department of Justice is trying to sell finality where there is still fog. After a chaotic rollout of Epstein-related materials, officials have framed the release as complete and urged the public to move on. But volume without structure is not transparency. Dumping massive amounts of material without clear indexing, consistent redaction explanations, and a verifiable accounting of what was withheld creates confusion rather than clarity. The public was promised a legally mandated framework under the Epstein Files Transparency Act that would identify categories of records, explain redactions, and specify which government officials and politically exposed persons were named. Instead, critics argue the process feels curated and defensive, more focused on narrative control than genuine accountability. Declaring “no more files” does not resolve outstanding questions about scope, missing categories, or investigative decisions—it freezes the narrative at a politically convenient moment.At its core, the frustration stems from a longstanding distrust of how powerful institutions handle cases involving powerful people. A serious transparency effort would provide traceability, context, independent review mechanisms, and precise legal justifications for every withholding decision. Without those guardrails, the release risks functioning as a containment strategy rather than a corrective one. Calls to “move on” land as dismissive because the underlying questions—who enabled Epstein, who benefited, and whether institutional actors were protected—remain unresolved in the public's mind. If the administration wants credibility, it must move beyond slogans and provide structured, auditable disclosures that withstand scrutiny. Otherwise, skepticism will continue, not because people crave drama, but because incomplete transparency invites suspicion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Overthinking can be a real cause of anxiety for some people. Have you ever struggled to get to sleep at night with all the thoughts running through your head? Does my new boss like me? Am I even cut out for this job? My kid just brought home a bad report card; are they going through a rough patch, or is it a sign of something more serious? Basically, your mind goes into overdrive and you feel like there's nothing you can do about it. After all, thinking is natural, isn't it, so how are you supposed to just stop? Well if you've tried meditation and to-do-lists but found they just weren't of any use, here's a new approach that might help lighten your daily burdens: it's called brain dumping. Isn't that just like writing a journal? Does it really work though? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

People across the county are being encouraged to have their say on the proposal to install CCTV in an attempt to curb illegal dumping. The Local Authority's waste enforcement team is carrying out a public consultation until June 1st on the use of cameras in blackspots in Tulla and Kilrush. The system would initially be in place for eight weeks before a review period would determine it's continued use. Maghera Fianna Fáil Councillor, Pat Hayes, says it's been a 'torturous process' to get the relevant legislation enacted.
It's hoped the impending installation of CCTV in West Clare's capital will significantly eradicate illegal dumping. Clare County Council is carrying out a public consultation process until June 1st to determine where the cameras should go in Tulla and Kilrush. So far this year, the local authority has already dealt with over 210 illegal dumping and litter complaints. Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that swift and decisive action is needed.
“In the 1960s and 1970s, most homes did not have refrigerators. People used simple clay pots or sand pots to store only essential food, mainly cooked rice for the day. They kept only what was necessary.Today, we have refrigerators, and we keep filling them with many unnecessary items. In the same way, our minds are overloaded with information, worries, comparisons, social media content, and negative thoughts.Our brain was not designed to store endless mental clutter. If we stop dumping unnecessary things into our mind, we can reduce stress and overthinking. A peaceful mind comes from keeping only what truly matters.”Podcast DescriptionWhy do we overthink so much today?In this podcast, I compare the human mind to a refrigerator. Earlier generations lived with simplicity. They stored only what they needed. But today, just like we overload our refrigerators with unnecessary items, we overload our minds with endless thoughts, stress, social media, comparisons, and worries.This episode explains how mental clutter leads to overthinking and how simplifying your mind can bring peace, clarity, and emotional balance.Sometimes, the solution is not adding more to life — it is removing what is unnecessary.
Did Jane Street front-run the Terra collapse?

We begin by discussing the Government's decision to increase on-the-spot fines for littering and dog fouling from €150 to €250 from this September, alongside a new €3 million investment in anti-dumping measures, including CCTV monitoring and enforcement initiatives nationwide.

This week on The Food Professor Podcast, recorded live from the West Coast, Syvain in Chilliwack, Michael in L.A., begin with a fast-moving roundup of the biggest food, grocery, and agriculture headlines shaping Canada. First, the hosts unpack Dunkin's return to Canada and debate where the iconic brand could fit in a market dominated by Tim Hortons and McDonald's. They also explore major developments in Canada's greenhouse sector, dairy production policy, and the growing demand for dairy proteins as producers respond to changing consumer habits. The conversation then turns to some of the most consequential policy issues impacting food prices and agriculture today, including climate science, industrial carbon pricing, Canadian counter-tariffs, and what new signals from the Bank of Canada could mean for grocery inflation, farm economics, and consumer affordability. Michael and Sylvain offer their unfiltered analysis on government policy, food security, and how unintended consequences continue to ripple across Canadian households. Then, the episode shifts into a compelling long-form interview with Kim Furlong, CEO of Retail Council of Canada. In one of her first major podcast interviews since assuming the role, Kim provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at the realities of modern retail in Canada. She discusses stepping into the leadership role previously held by industry icon Diane Brisebois, and explains why the grocery business remains one of the most misunderstood sectors in the country. Kim breaks down why Canadians often “see the shelf, but not the supply chain,” revealing the upstream pressures—from transportation and labour costs to energy prices and currency fluctuations—that shape food prices long before products ever reach store shelves. She also tackles some of retail's hottest issues, including algorithmic pricing, surveillance pricing concerns, the Grocery Code of Conduct, AI-driven supply chains, domestic sourcing, Buy Canadian momentum, and how retailers are preparing for a future defined by geopolitical disruption, economic volatility, and changing consumer expectations. We also hear about Michael's visit to Laurel Supply, a new bespoke grocery store in West Hollywood that could be the most beautiful grocery store in America, thanks to the amazing work of Kevin Kelley's Shook Kelley retail design firm.

What happens when society looks away from its most vulnerable?In this episode of Love Conquers Alz, hosts Susie Singer Carter and Don Priess welcome WGA, AWD, award-winning, neurodiverse, bi, writer/director, and podcaster, Ellen Ancui, who specializes in traumadies—darkly funny stories where (mostly) women dig their own graves, then complain about the landscaping. Ellen writes about caregiving, sex, and the 2nd act of a creative life. She co-hosts the pod FILTHY MILFS with Sophie Levine, about women's health, desire, and aging fearlessly. Ellen wrote, produced, and directed the Oscar-qualified short film, SAVERIO, that sheds light on a shocking and often invisible issue: elder abandonment, also known as “granny dumping.”Through a powerful blend of humor and humanity, Ellen's film tells the story of a young woman forced to confront her own values when an elderly man is abandoned in her care—an all-too-real scenario happening far more often than most people realize.This episode is both a wake-up call and a reminder of what's at stake if we continue to look away.Because aging is not someone else's story.It's all of ours.And change starts with awareness.Follow Ellen and her podcast✨ IMDB✨ Apple Podcasts✨ Spotify✨ InSend us Fan MailIf someone you love experienced neglect in a nursing home…Then you know how desperately the system needs to change.

Master these 5 worldbuilding techniques to immerse readers in your fictional world without infodumping or overwhelming them.If you've ever sat down to write a scene and ended up with three paragraphs of explanation before anything actually happens, you're not alone. Most writers don't info dump because they're bad at worldbuilding—they do it because they love the world they've built and want readers to experience every detail of it. But here's the thing: too much explanation too soon is usually what breaks immersion, not what protects it.In this episode, I'm sharing 5 practical techniques for weaving worldbuilding into your story so readers experience your world naturally—without ever feeling like they're being taught about it. You'll learn how to tell which worldbuilding details have earned their place on the page, how to weave them into the scene instead of stopping the story to explain, how to adjust your approach based on whether your POV character is a native or a visitor to your world, and how to let the scene itself pull worldbuilding into the moment so it never feels forced.You'll hear me talk about things like:[02:30] How to tell whether a worldbuilding detail belongs on the page—or back in your notes.[04:27] How to weave worldbuilding into action, sensory detail, and interiority so it never stops the story cold.[08:08] Why the answer to "how much should I reveal?" is almost always less than you think, and later than you think.[10:04] The difference between a character who's new to your world and one who's lived there their whole life—and how each one changes what you can explain naturally.[12:40] How to use in-scene triggers so every worldbuilding detail feels pulled into the story instead of pushed in by the author.The world in your head is alive. It has texture, history, and weight. These five techniques will help you bring that onto the page so readers feel it too—without you having to stop the story to explain it.These techniques are hardest to apply when your story's foundation isn't solid yet. If that's the piece you've been missing, my Notes to Novel course is where to start. Click the link below to learn more and join the waitlist.

Oakland is trying and failing to address illegal dumping. According to the city auditor, Oakland spent more than $2 million dollars last year to collect just $16,000 in illegal dumping fines. For more, KCBS's Margie Shafer spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.
Chuck Todd digs into the aftermath of the Virginia redistricting vote and finds plenty of blame to spread around — Democrats are gloating, Republicans are upset, and the whole episode confirms that partisan redistricting has become a race to the bottom with no one coming out clean. Henotes the "no" campaign in Virginia performed about as well as it realistically could, argues that not a single Republican had the guts to call out Texas's initial redistricting as wrong — meaning he has zero sympathy for the ones now complaining that Democrats responded in kind — and warns that gerrymandering is ultimately an insult to the founding fathers no matter who's doing it, even as he gives Democrats partial credit for at least putting the question to voters. He argues Trump's approval numbers portend a catastrophic midterm for the GOP, that Democrats' ceiling is around 40 House seats, and that incumbent Republicans will soon be desperate to distance themselves from Trump — though very few can credibly do so. On Iran, he says the Wall Street Journal editorial board unloaded on Trump, declaring that Tehran now thinks Trump is a sucker, and argues the president made everything worse by starting a war he doesn't have the guts to finish. He closes with a fascinating read on Tucker Carlson's public break with Trump, noting Trump has burned virtually every professional relationship he's ever had — but cautioning that it's genuinely hard to know what Carlson actually believes, that this could be a fake "heel turn," or that Tucker may be positioning himself for his own presidential run as the face of an anti-Trump MAGA movement. Finally, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and explains why he has reservations about NBA star Kevin Durant. Thank you Wildgrain for sponsoring.

In this episode, we continue the play series with an important reframe for educators, therapists, and caregivers: Exploratory play is not a problem to fix. It is a stage to understand. When a child dumps toys, spins wheels, mouths objects, drops items, or repeats the same action over and over, it can be easy for adults to feel pressure to stop it. But what if the behavior isn't the problem? This episode explores why exploratory play is a foundational stage of development, especially for young autistic children, and how repetitive sensory-driven play often supports regulation, motor planning, focused attention, and early cause-and-effect learning. Instead of rushing children into more "functional" play, we'll walk through how to understand the sensory and developmental purpose behind exploratory play and how to gently shape it into the next stage without removing what already feels safe. This conversation is especially helpful for classrooms and therapy spaces where dumping, dropping, spinning, and repetitive object play can feel chaotic but are actually providing important information to the child's nervous system. In This Episode, You'll Learn • Why exploratory play is a real developmental stage, not a behavior problem • What children are learning when they dump, spin, drop, or mouth objects • Why autistic children may remain in this stage longer • The difference between safe boundaries and eliminating play entirely • Why adult anxiety around "stuck" can lead to premature redirection • How exploratory play naturally becomes functional play through cause and effect • Why repetitive play often supports nervous system regulation • Supportive classroom shifts that make exploratory play feel safer and more intentional • How to expand exploratory play without taking away the joy Key Takeaways • Exploratory play is sensory-driven learning • Repetition helps the nervous system gather information and build predictability • Dumping, spinning, dropping, and mouthing are forms of information gathering • Regulation often needs to come before more complex play can emerge • Boundaries can shape play safely without removing the sensory experience • Cause-and-effect routines create a natural bridge into functional play • Classroom environments feel calmer when exploratory play is planned for • The goal is to respect the stage, not rush past it When we stop trying to "fix" exploratory play, we make space for regulation, connection, and authentic development. Try This • Observe what sensory pattern the child is repeating • Ask what need the repetitive action might be meeting • Create safe dumping, dropping, or spinning spaces in the classroom • Add one small cause-and-effect variation like a ramp, tube, or drop zone • Use boundaries that shape safety without removing the experience • Plan sensory-rich play intentionally into the classroom day Often the most supportive shift is moving from correction to curiosity. Exploratory play is not something children need to be rushed out of. It is a sensory-rich stage that supports regulation, learning, and development. When we respect it as the foundation it is, the next stage of play unfolds much more naturally.
