On today's episode, I'm joined by Kristin Juszczyk, founder of Off Season, to talk about how she went from teaching herself how to sew on YouTube to building one of the most exciting brands in sports fashion. Kristin shares the story behind her viral NFL game day designs, how Taylor Swift wearing one of her custom jackets changed everything, and the journey of turning a creative passion into a licensed apparel brand. We also discuss entrepreneurship, taking risks before you feel ready, navigating licensing deals with major sports leagues, building a brand from the ground up, balancing creativity with business, and why persistence is often the biggest competitive advantage. Whether you're an entrepreneur, fashion lover, or simply looking for inspiration to chase a big idea, this episode is packed with actionable insights and founder wisdom.

Investor and writer Jayant Bhandari offers a pessimistic assessment of current global geopolitics and the decline of Western civilization. Bhandari argues that the world is entering a period of extreme chaos characterized by persistent conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, as well as rising global inflation. He provides a particularly harsh critique of India, describing it as a dysfunctional and corrupt state that is currently de-industrializing despite international propaganda to the contrary. A central theme of the discussion is the impact of mass migration, which Bhandari claims is importing a “third-world mentality” that threatens the demographic and cultural stability of the West. In contrast, he praises East Asian nations like China and Japan for maintaining social homogeneity and suggests they represent the most stable future for investment. Ultimately, Bhandari warns individuals to diversify their assets and residencies to survive increasing state surveillance and societal decay.

Summary:Dr. Stephanie Wigner sits down with Amanda Francis for a conversation on self-belief, wealth, visibility, motherhood, and the identity required to create an extraordinary life. Amanda shares how she built success from nothing by continuing to see more for herself long before there was evidence it was possible. Together they unpack the role of environment, reinvention, personal truth, and why longevity comes from staying aligned rather than staying attached to a single business model. They also explore navigating ambition and motherhood, handling criticism at scale, and becoming a permission slip for others through authentic self-expression. This episode is a masterclass in trusting who you are and allowing that identity to shape the life you create.Want more Amanda Frances?

Silicon Bites Ep352 | 2026-06-16 | This is the doctrine. The doctrine is the Empire of Savages. Savagery in this analytical frame is not the absence of values. Savagery is the active deployment of an alternative value system that treats the protections of international humanitarian law, the heritage of pluralistic civilisation, the existence of the autonomous nation, and the sanctity of religious and cultural sites as enemy property to be destroyed. The Russian state has not failed to understand the laws of war. The Russian state has rejected them — actively, doctrinally, and operationally — in favour of an alternative imperial framework that celebrates the destruction of pluralistic heritage as the restoration of properly-Russian civilisational primacy. It is still a crime. The vertical mindset— the vertikal, the Russian-imperial framework of centralised authoritarian rule under a single sovereign — is the political-structural correlate of this doctrinal framework. In the vertical mindset, values do not exist as independent constraints on power. Values exist only insofar as they serve the sovereign's project. Ukrainian democracy, Ukrainian pluralism, Ukrainian European-civilisational orientation are, in this framework, not alternative legitimate value systems. They are contempt-worthy errors that the sovereign's project is justified in correcting through violence. The Russian state's contempt for Ukraine — visible in every speech, every targeting decision, every cultural-heritage strike — is operationally informed by the perceived inferiority of pluralistic-democratic values of the West and Ukraine compared to the vertical-imperial framework.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Some people get a wake-up call and make small adjustments. Rose Garcia got hers and decided to go all in on everything. This episode is proof of what happens when someone takes a second chance and refuses to let any part of it go to waste.In this episode of Amiga Handle Your Shit, Jackie Tapia sits down with Rose Garcia, a Latina entrepreneur, real estate veteran, ovarian cancer survivor, and the new co-owner of The Dinah, the legendary queer women's festival now heading into its 35th year. Rose talks about growing up Boricua and Salvadoran in Los Angeles, building a career in real estate after starting out as a teenage intern, and how that hustle eventually opened the door to owning a Hollywood nightclub and co-owning one of the biggest festivals in the LGBTQ community.What makes this conversation land differently is the part Rose almost did not get to tell. A swollen stomach sent her to the emergency room, and within days she was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer. Doctors gave her a timeline if treatment did not work. She walks through what it actually felt like to sit with that news, how she shifted into fight mode, and the lesson she still carries two years later, now cancer-free.Rose also opens up about her connection to “The L Word,” where her real life became the basis for a character, and what it meant to show a Latina Catholic family choosing love over judgment on national television. From East LA bars to red carpets to hospital waiting rooms, this is a conversation about showing up for your life, on your own terms.Tune in to episode 285 of Amiga Handle Your Shit for a Pride Month conversation about resilience, representation, and what it means to get a second chance and actually use it.Episode TakeawaysHow a teenage internship turned into a full career in real estate, and the network that made it possible (05:44)The story behind the Dinah, the 35-year-old queer women's festival now run by Rose and her business partner (08:26)How Rose's real life became the inspiration for a character on The L Word, and the road trip through East LA bars that started it all (12:10)What it meant to show a Catholic Latino family choosing acceptance, and the messages that came after (15:51)The swollen stomach, the ER visit, and the diagnosis that came faster than anyone expected (24:04)What stage 3C ovarian cancer treatment actually looked like, and the mindset shift that got her through it (27:08)Why Rose says cancer is not the death sentence it used to be, and what she changed in her life afterward (32:02)Connect with Rose Garcia:InstagramLinkedInThe DinahLet's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInJackie Tapia Arbonne websiteBook: The AMIGA Way: Release Cultural Limiting Beliefs to Transform Your Life Hosted on Acast.

We start this week's episode with headlines from St Mary's hospital (Chicago and Madison), Uber, Starbucks, Amazon, Target Field, Hyundai, the Durham Miners Association, and Walmart. Our first main story follows up on the strike by UAW workers at American Axle, who have won a major new contract. Pro-Palestine student protestors at the University of Michigan were arrested in FBI raids, we discuss the escalating attacks on the movement. The World Cup kicked off this week, and in addition to the sportswashing of Empire, there's a whole lot of exploitation, but thankfully workers are fighting back.  Finally, we do a deep dive into the wide range of attacks on higher education, both the workers themselves and the institutional structure as a whole.   Join the discord: discord.gg/tDvmNzX  Follow the pod at instagram.com/workstoppage, @WorkStoppagePod on Twitter,  John @facebookvillain, and Lina @solidaritybee

The West's naivete towards Putin in the 2000s cost us dearly. Now Russia's tyrant – a creature of the KGB/FSB who has returned his country to its roots as a repressive intelligence state – is attacking us with unprecedented ferocity and deviousness. Sean Wiswesser, ex-CIA station chief in the former Soviet Union, says the “reckless” activity of FSB and GRU agents has reached new heights. But can they be stopped – and can we win the intelligence war? He tells Andrew Harrison how intelligence and dirty tricks are inextricable from Putin's power; how the old skills of “tradecraft” persist alongside new digital tactics; and what really makes Russian intelligence tick.  • Buy Sean's book Tradecraft, Tactics, and Dirty Tricks: Russian Intelligence and Putin's Secret War from our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Work at Home Rockstar Podcast, Tim Melanson chats with Fernando Angelucci, CEO of SSSE. Fernando shares how a fear-setting exercise from The 4-Hour Workweek helped him leave his engineering career behind and commit fully to entrepreneurship. What started with a bold leap of faith and nearly $100,000 in credit card cash advances has grown into a self-storage private equity company with more than 55 transactions across 26 states. Fernando opens up about the burnout that comes from trying to do everything yourself and explains how systems, delegation, and surrounding yourself with the right people helped him scale. He also shares insights on mastermind groups, maintaining productivity while traveling, profit management, goal setting, and how his company has evolved from single-asset syndications into a fund structure. If you're building a business from home, trying to avoid burnout, or looking for ways to think bigger and grow faster, this episode is packed with practical lessons from someone who has built a business around both freedom and scalability. Who is Fernando Angelucci? Fernando Angelucci is the CEO of SSSE, a self-storage private equity company. He specializes in using creative deal structuring to purchase cash-flowing assets and build institutional-grade self-storage facilities. After leaving his engineering career, Fernando built a business focused on self-storage investments and has completed more than 55 transactions across 26 states. Today he travels much of the year while managing his business remotely and helping investors participate in self-storage opportunities.

On this episode, we travel beyond the northeast to examine South Carolina in the Revolutionary War. We examine the Siege of Charleston and compare the town's experience to that of Boston. Note that, although American forces besieged British troops in Boston, at Charleston, those roles were reversed and American forced held the city against an ultimately victorious British army. We also discuss the significance of Henry Laurens, a founding father from South Carolina who was highly regarded by John Adams. We are joined by Elizabeth Chew, CEO of the South Carolina Historical Society, and Greg Brooking, author and historian of the American Revolution in the South. At the MHS, we examine several items related to the Revolution in South Carolina and are joined by a special guest. Reference Librarian Daniel Hinchen also reprises his role as John Adams.

What does it mean, three decades after the demise of the USSR, to inhabit cities built for a future that has never arrived? In pursuit of the question—what is left of the socialist city?—this book aims not only to trace the material and mnemonic remains of the socialist city,  but to show how the Soviet discourse of the city at times engendered radical ideas that challenged the narrow confines of state socialism itself. These ideas are, for instance, the efforts of Esperanto-speaking internationalists from Czechoslovakia to build the internationalist city from below in the Central Asian steppe, the quest of Armenian Futurists to root the architectural style of Soviet Armenia in the country's Persianate heritage, or a Jewish-Kyrgyz philosopher's vision of turning a science town in the hinterland of Moscow into the first ecopolis of the USSR. In an effort to rethink the life and afterlife of the Soviet city from its geographical South, The Death and Life of Southern Soviet Cities: Urban Futures and Their Afterlives (Routledge, 2026) explores the material and immaterial legacies of socialist-era urbanization in Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus. To this end, it embarks on a historical and ethnographic journey to urban sites in Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. In a quest to reconstruct competing visions of urbanity that emerged from within the Soviet South, using varied empirical sources in Armenian, Czech, Kyrgyz, and Russian, the book outlines four urban visions: bottom-up urbanity, rooted urbanity, polycentric urbanity, and ecocentric urbanity. By understanding the social vision of a "socialist city of the future" beyond the political center in its trans-local independence, the book highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Soviet South and its historical embeddedness within the regional dynamics of the Global South. David Leupold is a sociologist, scholar of memory wars and research fellow in the ERC-funded research project REVENANT: Revivals of Empire. He is the author of the prize-winning book Embattled Dreamlands: The Politics of Contesting Armenian, Turkish, and Kurdish Memory (2021), the former principal investigator of the DFG-funded research project Future Images of the Past (2021–2025), and a current resource scholar for the Monterey Initiative in Russian Studies (Middlebury Institute of International Studies).

Episode 119 - The Failing Empire's County Fair

Episode # 305 Pool Nation Podcast - What does it take to build a pool service company that lasts for decades, retains top talent, and serves more than 1,000 pools? In this episode of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar De Jesus, John "JJ Flawless," and Zac "The Pool Boy" Nicholas sit down with Nick LaPointe and Ray De Rosa of Golden State Pools to discuss two very different journeys that led to one of Southern California's most respected pool service companies. From the days of gas chlorine service and hand-written route books to modern operations, service management, technician training, inventory systems, and company leadership, this conversation dives deep into what it really takes to build a sustainable pool business. Nick shares the story of growing up in the family business, while Ray discusses building his own company before merging with Golden State Pools. Together they reveal the systems, leadership philosophies, employee development programs, and business lessons that have fueled their success. Most importantly, they share two lessons every pool professional needs to hear: set boundaries and know your value. Whether you're a solo operator, building your first route, managing technicians, or scaling toward your own pool empire, this episode is packed with practical insights and real-world experience from pool pros who have lived it.

He was born to wealthy parents in Syracuse of Sicily. He entered monastic life and in time became a priest in the service of Patriarch Nikephoros. Because of his great and well-known zeal for the holy icons, he was cruelly persecuted by a succession of iconoclast emperors. Around 815, he was sent as an ambassador to Rome on behalf of the Patriarch, who had been exiled by the Emperor Leo the Armenian. When he returned to Constantinople upon Leo's death, he was immediately exiled and imprisoned by Leo's successor, Michael the Stutterer. Upon Michael's death he was freed for a short time, but soon the Emperor Theophilus had him exiled to an island where, says the Prologue, "he spent seven years in prison with two common robbers, in damp conditions, without light and without sufficient food, as if in a grave." When the pious Empress Theodora restored the Empire to Orthodoxy, he was freed and elevated to Patriarch of Constantinople. On the Sunday of Orthodoxy, we commemorate the restoration of the Holy Icons by Theodora and Methodios. Despite many attacks by heretics while he was Patriarch, he served faithfully and reposed in peace.

There are very few artists who can claim popularity in one decade, then claim it all over again with a new band or approach to music. In Australia in the 1970s, Joe Camilleri was a huge draw with his band Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons. They created a blend of R&B and reggae that worked well, and were a big draw in Australian pubs and concert venues. After the demise of the Falcons, Camilleri started a new band called The Black Sorrows that started life as a Zydeco outfit, then evolved into a blend of Americana, soul and a touch of Van Morrison inspired songs. …..this episode isn't about Joe Camilleri..... Welcome to Episode 193 of Love That Album. The drummer for most of The Black Sorrows' first era was Peter “Lucky” Luscombe. He's known as the songwriter's drummer, because rather than trying to show off his chops, he always thinks, “How can I make this song sound great?” He's worked for decades as both a band member and as a session musician. Nowadays, he's most known for playing in Paul Kelly's band (3 decades and counting) and as the longest member of the Rockwiz Orkestra. If you hear his playing, you KNOW it's Lucky. He's also played for Stephen Cummings, Chris Wilson's band of the 90s post Crown Of Thorns, and Rebecca's Empire. I was thrilled to have one of my drumming heroes on the show as we discuss his career, how he approaches a drum part, what he loves about great songwriting, why Australian session musicians are behind the rest of the world in terms of remuneration for their work, why The Meters and Tower of Power are hugely important.....and much more. My thanks to Lucky for joining me on the show, and to Brian Nankervis for encouraging me to reach out to him for a chat.

Nous sommes le 29 juillet 1765, dans la rade de Huangpu près de Canton, dans le sud de la Chine. Retrouvons-y Aloys Ko et Étienne Yang nés dans des familles chrétiennes de Pékin. Recueillis très jeunes par des jésuites, ils ont été envoyés en France, une quinzaine d'années plus tôt, pour parfaire leur formation ecclésiastique. Ordonnés prêtres, les voilà recrutés par Henry Bertin, ministre des Finances de Louis XV, il veut en faire des émissaires spéciaux du roi, chargés de percer les mystères des arts et manufactures de l'Empire du Milieu. Nous sommes à une époque où la France des Lumières est en pleine quête technologique et cherche à s'approprier les secrets de la porcelaine, de la soie ou du vernis : il s'agit de perfectionner ses propres arts et sciences face à la concurrence européenne. À travers un vaste réseau de missionnaires, la monarchie transforme alors la Chine en un véritable laboratoire politique et technique destiné à nourrir ses débats économiques et ses projets de modernisation. Le dialogue entre Paris et Pékin révèle les coulisses d'une modernité européenne qui s'est nourrie de l'ailleurs pour mieux inventer son propre avenir industriel. Mais que fit véritablement la France de ses connaissances techniques sur la Chine ? Comment ces savoirs ont-ils voyagé à travers des réseaux et des médiations très fragiles ? Cette quête a-t-elle véritablement et durablement façonné la modernité européenne ? Dans son « Dictionnaire philosophique », Voltaire, qui connut un succès retentissant avec sa pièce « L'Orphelin de la Chine », en 1755, écrit : « C'est dans la morale et dans l'économie politique, dans l'agriculture, dans les arts nécessaires que les Chinois se sont perfectionnés », il ajoute que dans ces derniers domaines, les Européens ne devraient pas se considérer autrement que comme « leurs disciples ». Avec Sébastien Pautet, historien moderniste et chercheur associé à l'Université Paris Cité. « Le Mystère de la porcelaine bleue. Quand la France des Lumières espionnait la Chine » ; Éditions Payot & Rivages. sujets traités : Chine, France, porcelaine, Étienne Yang , jésuites, Louis XV, 'Empire du Milieu, Paris, Pékin, Voltaire Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Jimmy Donaldson, better known as Mr Beast, is in the middle of another headline heavy stretch, with the biggest verified development being the confirmation from YouTube that he has become the first individual creator to reach 500 million subscribers. YouTube says the milestone marks a new peak in creator scale and cements his long term status as the defining figure of the platform.[10] On the business side, MrBeast is also expanding his media empire beyond video. PR Newswire reports that Beast Industries and Moose Games have debuted MrBeast The Ultimate Game, a board game inspired by his challenge format, with presales already underway and a wider retail rollout planned for July and August. That matters biographically because it shows he is no longer just a creator, but a cross platform entertainment brand with consumer products.[6] Another major long range development is the North Carolina film grant for Beast Games Season 3. According to the News and Observer, the state awarded the production a 15 million dollar grant, the maximum rebate available, implying at least 60 million dollars in planned in state spending by Amazon and MrBeast. That is a significant signal that his reality competition franchise is becoming a major production asset, not just a one off stunt.[3] In the past few days, social chatter has been intense around a resurfaced 2023 interview clip in which MrBeast said he could launch a brand new channel without using his face or voice and without promotion. That clip is circulating again on Instagram, though the current discussion is speculative and should be treated as commentary rather than fresh news.[2] There is also unverified online buzz about his recent earnings, with Instagram posts claiming he accidentally exposed 24 million dollars in YouTube revenue over 30 days. Those claims are not confirmed by MrBeast or by a primary financial filing, so they remain rumor level only.[4][7] A YouTube video posted three days ago is also framing a recent MrBeast situation as escalating, but it is commentary from a drama channel rather than a primary source, so it should be weighted low for verification.[1] For the audience, the big picture is simple. MrBeast is still growing at historic scale, still monetizing into new formats, and still generating the kind of online obsession that turns every clip, launch, and leak into a fresh chapter of the biography.

Elles sont femmes de Harkis et pendant des décennies ont tissé des tapis d'exception pour le mobilier national. Licières à la manufacture de Lodève, elles sont passé avec dextérité du motif berbère au style Louis XIV ou Empire. Mais qui sont ces femmes restées dans l‘ombre et quelle est leur histoire ? Théa Ollivier a mené l'enquête. En 1964, deux ans après la fin de la guerre d'Algérie et les Accords d'Évian, une soixantaine de familles harkis arrivent à Lodève, dans l'Hérault, au pied du Larzac, après un passage par les camps de Rivesaltes ou de St Maurice l'Ardoise. Les femmes sont recrutées pour tisser des tapis dans un atelier installé dans un ancien baraquement militaire. En 1966, cet atelier devient une annexe de la Manufacture nationale de la Savonnerie et passe sous la responsabilité du Mobilier national. Les tapis produits à Lodève sont destinés aux plus hautes institutions de la République. Pendant des décennies, ces femmes ont tissé des œuvres destinées aux lieux de pouvoir. Pourtant, leur histoire est restée largement invisible. Aujourd'hui, une association locale Mémoires Méditerranée se mobilise pour faire reconnaître leur travail et première victoire, leur parcours vient tout juste d'intégrer la collection permanente du Mémorial du Camp de Rivesaltes. Ce documentaire suit trois anciennes licières — Bakhta, Ledda et Fatma  — aujourd'hui à la retraite. À travers leurs souvenirs et ceux de leurs enfants, il raconte comment la fin de la guerre d'Algérie a façonné des trajectoires de femmes, de familles et de générations. Leur histoire rappelle aussi que la guerre ne s'est pas arrêtée en 1962 : elle s'est prolongée en France, dans les camps, dans le travail, et dans la longue quête de reconnaissance. ► Présentation de l'association Mémoires Méditerranée ► Pour aller plus loin découvrez le webdoc de France 24.   En images

"You never know what insight or information you're going to glean from someone, and so I want to be open to surprises. And not have any preconceived notions of what, who this person is, what they're going to tell me, imposing my own values, beliefs, whatever on them, because it's all a discovery," says Pulitzer Prize-winner Barry Meier, whose piece "You Can Run" appears in The Atavist Magazine.Barry Meier is here for another Atavistian chat! Yeah, these have not come out in as timely a manner as I had hoped. The late delay of the “revived” one with Mac Montandon, and having pods that were getting moldy in the can too precedence. Anyway …Barry Meier has won this little award you might have heard of called the, what is it, oh, yes, the Pulitzer Prize as part of a team of reporters in International Reporting for the New York Times. He's also been a finalist for the Pulitzer and a two-time winner of the George Polk Award. He's got a new piece out for The Atavist magazine titled: You Can Run: When their parents ripped two young sisters from their privileged lives, gave them fake names, and took them on the lam, they thought it was because their father was in trouble with the IRS. It would be years before they learned the truth about his life of crime.”He's the author of three books, Pain Killer, which was the first to chronicle the Sackler family and the origin of the opioid epidemic. “The book that started it all,” wrote Patrick Radden Keefe, whose book Empire of Pain was heavily informed by Barry's work.

Japheth is three months into his roofing business and already running into the wall every contractor hits: he's the bottleneck.He's the closer, the estimator, the admin, the guy meeting every adjuster. So we sat down for a Business Breakthrough and mapped out exactly how to get him out of the way and let the business actually scale.We cover the office admin / insurance facilitator role, why "simple scales" is the only mindset that matters, how to kill friction at every step, package pricing (good/better/best), selling on the spot, and why cutting construction will make him MORE money — not less.Coaching Session Signup: https://calendly.com/dripjobs/breakthroughPurchase the 31 Days of Value and build an EMPIRE: https://www.amazon.com/31-Days-Value-home-service-businesses/dp/B0FQSH32X7Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2v0D0SNSBofqJJE6zApEE1DripJobs Demo: https://calendly.com/dripjobsteam/dripjobsdemoGusto: https://gusto.com/i/tanner269OpenPhone: https://openph.one/referral/8Kc17aqFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/173750747824373/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: http://Instagram.com/officialtannermullen#roofing #roofingbusiness #contractormarketing #localseo #roofingcontractor #homeservices #businessgrowth

Jim Hill and Dan Graney talk about the latest, highly caffeinated Doomsday advertising stunt, and a certain friendly neighborhood Spider-Man makes his way to a neighborhood across the pond - what exactly is he doing there?

Welcome to the absolute peak of the “Simulated Empire.”It is June 2026, and the Russian Federation has finally achieved the ultimate geopolitical breakthrough: it has completely decoupled from the physical universe. Why fight a miserable, bloody, losing war in the Ukrainian mud when your official military command can simply decree that soldiers should pay “less attention to reality” and trust the pristine paperwork instead?In Episode 2.37 of The Eastern Border, we perform a full structural autopsy on a nuclear-armed mafia state running on pure, unadulterated vranyo. From the hollow victory laps at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) to the frontlines of the Zaporizhzhia steppe, the matrix is cracking wide open.Become our patron:https://www.patreon.com/theeasternborderMerch store + another option for memberships:https://theeasternborder-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow what's going on here in the very border of Eastern Europe:https://bsky.app/profile/theeasternborder.lvDownload all episodes for free on our website; pictures accompanying certain episodes can be found there as well!http://theeasternborder.lv/Car4Ukraine Eastern Border Summer Campaign!https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/summer-sunshine-trucks-2026-eastern-borderSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

What happens when the very thing that drives your success becomes the thing you have to outgrow? This week on Superwomen, Lauren Kleinman, founder of Dreamday and co-founder of Quality Media and The Quality Edit, shares a candid look at the invisible trade-offs that often come with ambition. Lauren opens up about the perfectionism, pressure, and relentless drive that fueled her success—but eventually pushed her toward burnout. Together, she and Rebecca explore the cost of constantly striving for more, the ongoing process of redefining success, and what it takes to evolve beyond the version of yourself that built the business. They also dive into the changing world of PR, affiliate partnerships, visibility, and how founders can build influence in an era shaped by AI and algorithm-driven attention. This conversation isn't really about work-life balance. It's about growth, reinvention, and learning when the traits that got you here are no longer the ones that will take you where you're meant to go.

The New Yorker investigative reporter Heidi Blake joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss her reporting on Andrew Tate, the British American influencer and figurehead of the manosphere. They talk about Tate's rise to prominence, the media empire he built by glorifying ideas about male dominance and female subjugation, and the allegations of rape, assault, coercion, and sex trafficking that have followed him and his brother, Tristan, across multiple countries. Drawing on leaked documents and messages, interviews with both Tates, and testimony from women who say they were victimized by the brothers, Blake explains how Tate's online persona reflects a much longer history of alleged abuse and exploitation. Blake and Foggatt also explore Tate's growing ties to people in Donald Trump's orbit, and whether his support for Trump and the MAGA movement helped shape the political response to the investigations against him.This week's reading: “Andrew Tate's Empire of Abuse,” by Heidi Blake “Has Nancy Mace's Crusade Against Sexual Violence Ruined Her Career?,” by Moira Donegan “The Supreme Court's Latest Blow to Black Voters' Rights,” by Ruth Marcus “For the Nation's Birthday, Making It Harder to Become an American,” by Jonathan Blitzer “Could Switzerland Become the First Country to Cap Its Population?,” by Jessi Jezewska Stevens The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.
