Is nationalism always bad—or does the Bible have a more nuanced view of nations, borders, and political life? In this fascinating episode, Israeli philosopher Yoram Hazony joins Dru Johnson to explore the political vision of the Old Testament, from the Table of Nations in Genesis to the prophetic hope of nations learning from Israel in peace. Hazony explains how the Bible's anti-empire stance emerges from the stories of Babel, Assyria, and Babylon—and why God's vision for humanity includes independent nations with borders, traditions, and space to seek Him freely. Together they unpack how Israel's kingship, laws, and tribal structure offer a model of checks, balances, and moral limits on power. The conversation also tackles modern questions: What can Christians today learn from biblical nationalism? How does this compare with movements like Christian nationalism in the U.S.? And why does Hazony see so many modern Christian intellectuals missing the Old Testament's political teachings?

The Kuok Group feeds cities, builds skylines, and reshapes borders. From sugar to shipping, hotels to high finance, it powers modern Asia in ways few truly understand.Robert Kuok sits quietly at the heart of this story, a man guided by discipline, driven by vision, and guarded in privacy.He didn't chase the spotlight. He chased scale. From the chaos of war-torn Malaya to the boardrooms of Beijing, Kuok built his empire with patience, precision, and a belief in long-term power over short-term profit.He never raised his voice. But when he moved, industries followed.This is the story of the Kuok Group — how a young man from Johor Bahru, Malaysia, rose from rice sacks and ration books to build Southeast Asia's largest sugar empire and, ultimately, to shape the future of China, one power move at a time.Episode 1: FoundationsJapanese bombs fall over Singapore. Sixteen-year-old Robert Kuok begins a long walk home. He is angry, disillusioned, but determined to change the world.Episode 2: Sugar RushRice built Kuok Brothers Ltd. But sugar? That's what will make them legends. When global prices spike and contracts fall apart, Robert learns the true cost of sweet ambition.Episode 3: Sugar CrashTo move beyond importing sugar, Robert sets his sights on building Malaysia's first refinery. But foreign partners try to box him in. In response, he rewrites the rules - mastering policy, strategy, and global trading - until the Kuok name commands respect from London to Kuala Lumpur.Episode 4: The Sugar King To control sugar from source to shelf, Robert ventures into Indonesia and strikes a deal with a powerful, but unpredictable, ally. But as politics sour, he must fight to hold onto the empire he's built before it slips away.Episode 5: Shangri-LaKuok bets on hospitality. The result? A new kind of empire, one made of glass, steel, and silence.

What would you do if you were a starving actor that just lost his last orange? Start a cookware Company of course. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick in business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Eco Office Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple and we're talking empires. Empires, businesses that started from scratch and are now, well, as the title suggests, empires, kind of the whole idea. I saw that we were listed in some top lists in Canada as well, like top business podcasts and top reverse engineering podcasts. I thought that was a cool, that's the list that I'd rather be on anyway. Stephen Semple: Well, we were higher ranked on that one, so there you go. I think it was number two or three on that, wasn't it? Dave Young: It didn't even know it was a thing. Stephen Semple: Yeah, pretty exciting. Dave Young: So today, you whispered in my ear that we're talking about the HexClad Corporation. Stephen Semple: HexClad. Dave Young: These are the pots and pans. People with the, apparently according to ads that I've caught glimpses of are now the perfect pans. They think they've built a better mousetrap. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and it is interesting. If you take a look at them, if you've ever seen them, they actually have this pattern in them, and there's now a bunch of knockoffs, of course. But the whole idea is with the raised surface of stainless steel, you can actually, the pan will brown, because a lot of nonstick pans don't brown very well. So the whole idea is you can get a nice searing with them. And also the way it's constructed, the nonstick surface is better protected. Dave Young: So you're not going to scrape the Teflon right off the bottom of your pan with your eggs. Stephen Semple: It'll withstand higher heat. You can put it in a 500-degree oven. So in many ways, one could argue with those things that that is a better nonstick pan. Dave Young: Sure. So who, what, when did this happen? Stephen Semple: So they were founded in December of 2016 by Danny Winer and Cole McCray. And boy, I'll tell you very much a bootstrapped backyard business when they started. And in 2024, it's estimated the business did 500 million in sales, have become $1 billion brand. Dave Young: How do you build Teflon pans, nonstick pans as a backyard kind of thing? Stephen Semple: Well, that's what we're going to learn here. Now, here's the other interesting thing. They now do cookware and knives and accessories and all that other stuff, but they started basically with pots and pans and Danny's first business was, he was an actor. Dave Young: Oh, okay. Well, that makes perfect sense. Stephen Semple: Doesn't it? Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: So Danny started off as an actor. That was his goal, and he moved to LA, of course, lots of auditions. And there's a certain point when you're doing that, one of the things that starts to creep in is that sense of that feeling of failure. So he's struggling a little bit with that. And then in 1994, he's in a really bad car accident, literally shatters his leg and does some damages to the vertebrae. He's doing lots of rehab, many months with a cane, and there's no way to act and he has to figure out how to recover and make money, and he's never felt so poor. One day he's coming home, and this is literally his worst moment. He's coming home. He has this home that's on the side of a hill and he has no money and he couldn't work yet.

Do we get the nonfiction we deserve? LATimes book critic Bethanne Patrick wrestles with this question through five new books that both mirror and address our fractured psyche. From Melissa Fibos' choice of celibacy over toxic sexual romance to a lone wolf crossing impossible borders, all these works expose a world grappling with isolation, AI empires, and the collapse of meaningful discourse. Whether it's Thomas Chatterton Williams's critique of wokeness, Damon Young's biting anthology of new black comedy, or Karen Hao's disturbing portrait of OpenAI as our new imperial reality ( Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao), each book reflects our deeper crisis: the inability to connect authentically in our age of social isolation and anxiety. The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex - Melissa Fibos. Melissa Fibos, a writer with a history of intense romantic fixations, realizes she's addicted to the chase rather than genuine connection. She embarks on a year-long celibacy experiment, allowing masturbation and fantasies but avoiding all dating and partnered sex. It's a transformative journey of empowerment as Fibos discovers authentic pleasure in solitude, food, and simple experiences, ultimately meeting her future wife before completing the full year.Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and The Demise of Discourse - Thomas Chatterton Williams. This multiracial critic argues that America's obsession with racial categories perpetuates the very divisions we claim to fight, insisting that race is purely a social construct with no biological basis. Writing from his perspective as an American expat in France, Williams contends that woke discourse and "correct" language distract from addressing real structural problems. His book challenges readers to move beyond tired black-versus-white frameworks toward more nuanced conversations about power and identity.That's How They Get You: An Unruly Anthology of Black American Humor - Edited by Damon Young This collection features sharp satirical pieces from top Black American writers who skewer everything from Karen culture to Disney's racial blindness to tech company exploitation. Contributors include Mateo Askaripour (who wrote the acclaimed "Black Buck") offering biting commentary on workplace racism and cultural appropriation. The anthology demonstrates how humor serves as both weapon and shield, allowing writers to expose systemic absurdities while maintaining their sanity in an often hostile world.Lone Wolf: Walking the Line Between Civilization and Wildness - Adam Weymouth In 2011, a wolf named Slavc traveled over 1,000 miles from Slovenia to the Italian Alps, becoming the first wolf in that region for decades and eventually establishing a pack of over 100. Weymouth follows this remarkable journey to explore how artificial barriers—from the Iron Curtain to Trump's border wall—prevent both wildlife and human refugees from reaching safety. The book uses the wolf's migration as a lens to examine what happens when the wild refuses to respect human boundaries and how life persistently seeks ways to thrive despite our attempts to control it.Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI - Karen Hao. Based on 90 interviews with current and former OpenAI executives plus dozens more from competing tech companies. Hao argues that without proper regulation and transparency, AI could evolve into a modern version of the British East India Company—a technological monopoly that serves elite interests while reshaping global power structures. Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao. Bethanne Patrick maintains a storied place in the publishing industry as a critic and as @TheBookMaven on Twitter, where she created the popular #FridayReads and regularly comments on books and literary ideas to over 200,000 followers.

Álvaro Enrigue and critic Maia Gil'Adí begin their conversation considering translation as a living process, one that is internal to the novel form. Álvaro, author of the trippy You Dreamed of Empires (Riverhead, 2024), explains how the opening letter to his translator Natasha mirrors the letter to his editor, Teresa, in Spanish, and how both letters become part of the fiction. Fitting for a novel that crosses Nahua and Mayan, Moctezuma and Cortés, Mexican history and the glam rock band T. Rex. The English translation—which Álvaro calls the book of Natasha—is longer, filled with changes and additions and revisions, and so translation becomes “another life for the book.” From the living book to its contents, Maia asks how You Dreamed of Empires blends the gorgeous and the grotesque, slapstick humor and extreme violence, historical detail and mischievous metafictional departures. Álvaro links his work to Season 9's theme of TECH by pointing out the novel's longstanding use as a tool to laugh about the powerful, to tell them that what they're saying is not true, and to articulate politics through contradiction and humor. After discussing the encounter of Moctezuma and Cortés (or really, of their translators, including a very magical bite of cactus) as the moment that changes everything in history, Álvaro makes a surprising historical swerve in his answer to this season's signature question.

What if the secret to building an extraordinary life wasn't working harder at your job… but working harder on yourself? In this mind-shifting episode, we dismantle the myth of overnight success and reveal how tiny daily disciplines, five-second decisions, and relentless self-investment turn average people into unstoppable forces. From the butterfly effect of small habits to the pain of hearing "no," this episode is your blueprint to compounding success.

On Poland's election, its history, its self-conception. Philosopher Maciej Szlinder joins us to talk about Polish politics, society and history. Maciej is a member of the general council of the left-wing political party Razem ("Together"), as well as the president of the Polish Basic Income Network, so we discuss these matters as well as the general context. How did Poland represent a beacon of neoliberal democracy to Western liberals in the 80s and 90s – and what happened next? What does Poland represent, to Poles and to the rest of Europe, today? Is the political duopoly of the centrist Civic Platform and the right-wing Law and Justice falling apart? Why is political turnout up – and what anti-establishment parties are the young voting for? Why is Poland the most pro-American country in Europe, and how does Trump affect that? What is Poland's huge economic success felt like on the ground? How does precarious employment and emigration impact Polish politics?

In this second part of Art's exclusive mastermind session recorded on a Mediterranean cruise, four extraordinarily successful entrepreneurs reveal the mindset shifts, identity traits, and beliefs that took them from startups to multimillion-dollar exits. Meet the panel: Tim Murphy - Built Presidential Pools from cleaning pools to 35,000+ pools and the largest pool builder in the US Tim Barone - Grew Vantage Mobility from $5M to $350M in wheelchair accessible vehicles Darren Wellborn - Scaled his civil engineering startup to 500+ engineers across 6 locations Louis Basile - Co-founded Wildflower Bread Company, growing from home kitchen recipes to 16 restaurant locations You'll discover: ✓ Why thinking of work as "fun" rather than work changes everything  ✓ The "zero debt" philosophy that eliminated fear and accelerated growth ✓ How to hire people smarter than you (and why most entrepreneurs struggle with this) ✓ The power of giving employees "a piece of the action" and why it creates unstoppable momentum ✓ Why "refusing to fail" doesn't mean avoiding risk—it means the opposite ✓ The mindset shift from "running in the business" to "running the business" ✓ How authenticity and curiosity become competitive advantages Key insight: These leaders didn't just build companies—they built cultures where employees became family, customers became advocates, and even competitors became allies. Whether you're a solopreneur, sales professional, or building a team, these battle-tested insights will shift how you think about success, leadership, and what it really takes to dominate your market. Part 1 (Episode 314) covered their strategies and tactics. Part 2 reveals the thinking behind the success.

Welcome back to the Good Girls Get Rich podcast. I'm your host, Karen Yankovich,LinkedIn strategist, PR mentor, and unwavering advocate for women building wealth and visibility on their own terms. In today's episode, we're taking a hard look at something that's both incredibly simple and deeply underused: your existing LinkedIn network. We want to hear your thoughts on this episode! Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at info@karenyankovich.com.   About The Episode and Highlights: If you're a woman in transition—whether from corporate to consulting, from hustle to high-ticket, or from quietly brilliant to loudly visible—this episode is your roadmap. You don't need another funnel. You need to reignite the network you already have.   LinkedIn Isn't Just About Visibility—It's About Leverage We've all heard that “your network is your net worth,” but most people treat their network like a dusty Rolodex from 2006. I'm here to change that. Because what if I told you that your next $25,000 consulting contract, board seat, speaking engagement, or media feature isn't out there… it's behind you? That's right. Your next big opportunity is likely sitting in the inbox of someone who already knows, likes, and trusts you. Someone who already respects your work. Someone who just hasn't thought about you in a while because, well, life. And this is where most entrepreneurs go wrong. They're so busy grinding—posting daily, building funnels, chasing strangers on social media—that they forget the goldmine of relationships they already have. These are people who already see your value. You don't have to convince them. You just have to reconnect.   The Reconnection Revolution: Turning Existing Relationships into Revenue Inside my She's LinkedUp accelerator, we always start with what I call the “low-hanging fruit.” Before we even talk about PR or big visibility strategies, we look at your existing LinkedIn network—because this is where the momentum begins. Let's break it down. I want you to open LinkedIn, click “My Network,” and start scrolling. Sort your connections by recent conversations, or by company. You'll be amazed at who's there. That former colleague who's now a director at a company you'd love to consult with? That client you adored working with who moved into a new leadership role? The person you met at a conference in 2019 and never followed up with? It's all sitting right there. The problem is, most women don't take this step because they don't know what to say. They don't want to be “salesy.” They feel awkward about initiating a conversation that doesn't have a clear outcome. And honestly? I get it. But this isn't about pitching. It's about reigniting relationships. And relationships, not cold leads, are what build seven-figure networks.   The 3-Step Reconnection Method for LinkedIn (No Sleaze Required) This episode introduces you to my tried-and-true method for turning dormant connections into warm leads—without ever sounding like a spam bot. Step 1: Start with context. Think back to where and how you know them. Did you meet at a conference? Were you on a board together? Did you used to work together? Reference that moment. “I saw a post about Disney and thought of our conversation about your trip with the kids,” or “I just came across your profile and realized how long it's been since we were on that panel together.” Step 2: Drop in a current positioning line. Let them know where you are now. “I'm currently working with high-level women leaders to land media and consulting contracts using LinkedIn and PR.” Keep it short, clear, and powerful. Step 3: Create an invitation without an agenda. This is the magic. “Would love to hear what you're working on—maybe there's a way we can support each other.” That's it. No hard sell. Just curiosity and connection. And believe me when I tell you: this kind of message has led to six-figure conversations for my clients. It works.   Why This Strategy Works So Well for Women in Business Over 40 Let's be honest: if you're anything like the women I work with, you're not some rookie starting out. You've got experience, results, leadership, and legacy. But what's often missing is the visibility to match that brilliance. The women I serve—high-achieving professionals, coaches, consultants, authors, board members—are done with tactics that feel like a race to the bottom. They're not here to chase likes. They're here to land big, aligned, transformational opportunities. And those don't come from random cold outreach. They come from aligned, trusted connections. This is especially true for high-ticket consulting, executive visibility, board seats, and speaking gigs. When you pair this warm reconnection strategy with a public-facing PR presence (like being featured on podcasts or in Forbes), your credibility multiplies. That old colleague now sees you as the go-to expert in your field. The magnetism becomes real. That's why She's LinkedUp teaches both: LinkedIn strategy for discoverability and PR strategy for instant credibility.   PR + LinkedIn = Visibility That Converts Imagine reconnecting with a former colleague on LinkedIn… and when they check out your profile, they see: Articles you've been featured in Podcasts you've been a guest on Awards you've received High-ticket services clearly articulated Suddenly, you're not just an old connection—they're wondering why they haven't already hired you. That's visibility done right. Not constant posting, not going viral. Just being strategic, visible, and credible to the right people. That's what I call Empowerment Era Marketing. And that's what today's marketing demands.   Ready to Find the Gold in Your Network? Here's what I want you to do today: Open LinkedIn and click on “My Network.” Sort your connections by recent interactions or company. Make a list of five people you already know, trust, and respect. Reach out using the 3-step method: context, positioning, curiosity. And please—don't make assumptions. That neighbor? Her brother might be your next big client. That old manager? He might be leading innovation at a company desperate for your expertise. This is not about reaching out to 100 people a week. This is about 2-3 powerful reconnections a week that could change everything.   Still Not Sure What to Say? That's why I'm here. If you want help crafting the right positioning, polishing your LinkedIn profile, or layering in a PR strategy that turns your name into a magnet, let's talk. Book a complimentary strategy call with me. Let's find the revenue hiding in your relationships. Because the truth is, your next opportunity isn't out there. It's already in your network. And you? You're not starting over. You're starting from power.   Magical Quotes From The Episode: "You're not starting from scratch. You're starting from experience. And that is your power." "Empires are not built from cold outreach. They're built from warm alignment." "Your next big opportunity isn't out there. It's behind you—in the people who already trust you." "LinkedIn makes you findable. PR makes you credible. That combination is where the magic happens."   Resources Mentioned In the Episode: Connect with me on LinkedIn: Karen Yankovich Follow me on Instagram: @karenyankovich Book a complimentary strategy call with me.   Help Us Spread The Word!

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.The forgotten liberation of thousands stands at the intersection of British military history and the African diaspora. When historian Matthew Taylor stumbled upon brief mentions of Black soldiers in British uniform during the War of 1812, he brought to light an extraordinary story of self-emancipation that would reshape communities across the Caribbean. The Colonial Marines—a unit of formerly enslaved Americans who joined British forces—represents the largest successful liberation movement between the Haitian Revolution and British abolition. This story reveals the remarkable agency of enslaved individuals who recognized opportunity amid conflict and negotiated their freedom through military service.Following the war, approximately 900 Colonial Marines and their families resettled in southern Trinidad, organized by military companies—which explains why communities today still bear names like "Third Company" and "Fourth Company." These settlements became known collectively as the "Merikins," maintaining distinct cultural practices including Virginia Baptist traditions and specific rice cultivation techniques from Georgia. This history offers a powerful lens for understanding Caribbean identity formation beyond simplified national narratives. The Colonial Marines story reveals how liberation movements connected Africa, the Americas, and the Caribbean through networks of resistance and community building that continue to shape identities today.Matthew Taylor is a historian & author of Black Redcoats: The Corps of Colonial Marines, a history of African-American escapees from slavery who became British Marines in the War of 1812 (1812-1815). This all-volunteer unit formed a unique & powerful force which had a significant impact on that war, and who secured free futures for themselves & their families in British territories even as the British Empire remained slave-holding. Matthew's work has been called exciting & ground-breaking, and is currently under consideration for a PhD by prior publication.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

The Power of Specificity (and Content That Teaches) Stephen has had a long career in the agency world, starting thirty years ago, before ROI was a thing, and working alongside agencies and consultants — teaching them how to build their authority within the markets they serve. He worked six-years in academia while also sharing his knowledge in his first books on Viral Social Networking and SEO. The expertise shared in these books got him requests to work as a consultant for different businesses, which led to him starting his own agency in 2009. At his agency, Stephen commonly works with agencies and consultants that are going about sales and new business development in the least effective, most painful way possible. In fifteen years, he's seen a lot in the business and now brings his own perspective on what's currently working in the agency space. According to him, success comes from being ridiculously specific—about who you serve, what you offer, and how you market it. It's not about flashy gimmicks or one-size-fits-all strategies. Agencies that clearly communicate their expertise and share their knowledge generously (even for free!) are the ones building long-term trust. With the many AI tools available for marketers nowadays, there just isn't a valid excuse for not putting your own content out there to attract clients with valuable tips that show your expertise. These should be small, actionable pieces that solve real problems. That kind of generosity leads to high-quality leads who already trust you by the time they reach out. While the tools might not be polished yet, they show just how easy it is now to create content and show up consistently. The key is that agencies need to be intentional, have a point of view, know their clients' real pain points and speak to them clearly. Raise the Bar or Get Left Behind Today's clients are smart. They're looking for specialized, strategic partners—not generalists who throw spaghetti at the wall. Agencies that develop a true methodology, a real system for delivering results, stand out. It's not just about the work—it's about the process behind it. Simply put, a solid methodology builds trust. It shows prospects that you know what you're doing and that you've done it before. And yes, it's a big part of what makes an agency sellable down the road. If you're familiar with games like “Age of Empires,” the process of building your methodology will be a lot like starting scrappy in the stone age—just you, maybe a freelancer or two. But as you gather resources (aka leads, a team, and tools) and build systems (onboarding, sales, and delivery processes), you level up. The methodology evolves as you grow—and mastering each stage is what gets you to the next one. The path to growth requires structure, clarity, and an intentional approach. If you're still winging it with no repeatable system in place it might be time to rethink the game plan. How a Softer Approach Can Lead to Bigger Wins Other than a methodology, the journey to the top will also require patience. Scaling an agency is rarely instantaneous and each stage of development comes with its own challenges and learning experiences. Agencies at various levels of growth face unique challenges, and the aspiration to leap from a level two to level thirty-seven—is just unrealistic. You need to experience the wins and losses that truly gives you the expertise to sustain growth and learn to appreciate that they've prepared you for the next challenges and goals. Jason was actually confronted with this lesson while preparing for his latest event, which although did eventually sell out, but did so much more slowly than he would've liked. In the end, the team made the decision to stop being pushy about promoting the event and instead try to be more inviting. A pushy attitude will likely be met with resistance. Instead, a gentle nudge or an invitation to explore creates a sense of curiosity and openness. By reframing the conversation from one of pressure to one of invitation, he was able to build trust and rapport. People are more likely to engage when they feel they have the autonomy to make choices without feeling coerced. This is the same principle that drives successful business generation. Instead of being pushy, make sure you're sharing case studies, insights, or even hosting webinars that allow prospects to learn and engage with the agency's expertise. Trust that you're offering great value that resonates with the target audience, encouraging your audience to lean in and explore further, rather than overwhelming them with hard sells. Creating Content That Draws the Right Clients In So what is the type of content agencies should be creating to get prospects to lean in? The first thing that may make you feel like you're screaming into the void is trying to attract just any client who can sign a check. Successful companies have shown that focusing on a select group of high-performing clients can lead to tremendous success. This does not mean that if you start to work with plumbers you'll have to work with that niche in perpetuity. A niche can also be a specific problem you solve or an area you serve, not just an industry. When you focus on "right fit" clients, you'll attract people you genuinely enjoy working with who choose to stay with your business long-term. When agency owners narrow their focus, they can tailor their offerings to meet the unique needs of their chosen niche. This not only enhances the quality of service but also simplifies the content creation process. Once the target audience is identified, agencies can generate relevant and engaging content that addresses the specific problems and pain points of their clients. At this point, you can focus on sharing content that makes a lasting impression. By providing valuable information upfront, you'll no doubt capture the attention of potential clients and build credibility. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change.  The First Sexual Revolution Much has been written about the sexual revolution, and in past podcasts we've mentioned a recent book by Louise Perry called “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution”, and believe she makes a strong case that the sexual revolution was actually bad for men, women, and children.  In an article posted at First Things, Kyle Harper explains how Christianity actually drove a completely countercultural sexual revolution in the first century whose effects are not only still felt today, but too often taken for granted.  We explore all this and more in this episode of Empires of the Future.  "The Empires of the future will be Empires of the Mind." - Winston Churchill 

2025 marks the eightieth anniversary of Germany’s surrender and the fall of the Third Reich. Likewise, World War II is the single most studied conflict in human history. But most Western accounts offer a one-dimensional interpretation: the war was a noble crusade against fascism, creating a convenient parable about good and evil. But this depiction ignores a far messier reality. But what went through the minds of the actual heads of state that led their nations through the war? Did they fight according to our understanding, or did they want to defend their nations’ global empires and ancient legacy? A case can be argued that World War II was not a battle in which democracy triumphed over totalitarianism but rather a massive colonial war waged by rival empires. The war formally ended the era of British and Japanese colonialism but established in their places the highly militarized Soviet and American states, whose access to nuclear weapons threatened the possibility of annihilation. As we grapple with the legacy of the war and its influence on geopolitics today, historian and today’s guest Paul Thomas Chamberlin urges us to reconsider the conflict from a new perspective in his book “Scorched Earth: A Global History of World War II.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most people retire after one successful business. Ral West kept building.In this episode, Ral shares how she co-ran a charter airline between Alaska and Hawaii for 25 years—eventually selling it to Alaska Airlines—and then launched into her next chapters: owning cruise ships, investing in real estate syndications, and helping other entrepreneurs find sustainability without burnout.From navigating gender bias in a family business to designing automated booking systems and letting go of control through delegation, Ral's story is a masterclass in evolving through every season of life. Whether you're in the startup grind, planning an exit, or rethinking what “retirement” means—her story will get you dreaming smarter and bolder.Key Highlights of Our Interview:The 25-Year Flight Plan: From Tourism to Aviation“I started in Alaska tourism. My husband was in real estate. Together, we launched a charter service to Hawaii—and turned it into a full airline.”Selling to Alaska Airlines: A Strategic Exit“We knew they were entering the Hawaii market. Instead of competing, we showed them why buying us was smarter.”When Cruise Ships Became the Next Chapter“We bought five small cruise ships out of bankruptcy, redesigned the Alaskan travel experience—and then pivoted again after COVID shut everything down.”Why Real Estate Was the Right Post-COVID Play“We own part of over 6,000 apartment units in five states. Why? Because homeownership is becoming harder, and rental demand is rising.”From Exhaustion to Empowerment: Lessons from the Middle Years“Between 35 and 55, I was stretched thin—business, babies, burnout. I had to build systems and teams to stay afloat.”The Real ROI of Delegation“Delegation isn't about giving things away—it's about building trust and giving others space to shine.”Turning Intuition into Systems“I realized I made ad-spend decisions based on 3-day sales trends. Once I named it, I turned it into a repeatable formula my team could follow.”Reservation System Reinvention“We invested two years into building an online booking system that ran 24/7—freeing us from the phones and doubling our revenue.”Not Your Typical Retirement Plan“I could've retired 16 years ago. I didn't. I love working. My retirement plan is doing what I want, when I want, with the systems to support it.”Advice for Entrepreneurs at Any Age“Be bold. Stay curious. Watch the world. And don't let age—or fear—be the thing that keeps you small.”______________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Ral West  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.
