He's held senior roles at several companies, leading the development of innovative technologies and managing complex system programs for NASA, commercial, and Department of Defense customers.

He's been inducted as a Technical Fellow at a global, Fortune 300 company and an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering, humanities, management, and leadership. This multidisciplinary educational background and diverse career shaped his perspective that led to The Unconditionals, in which he reveals the foundational, timeless values that help readers unlock the potential for their greatest personal and professional fulfillment.Andy was inspired to write his book "The Unconditionals" earlier in life, but did it when 1) his oldest son was a senior in high school, 2) he finished 3rd in the space race with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, and 3) he reached midlife and wanted to share wisdom.Failure in his human landing project led to the realization that failure is okay, and that's where growth happens.Our challenges aren't unique today; we can find comfort and leverage timeless wisdomThe 5 unconditional values are: Love, Gratitude, Integrity, Accountability, and Endeavor. Love applies in the workplace because you want to treat all humans around you with respectyou have an infinite supplyGratitude often goes wrong because of either worry (future) or complaint (past)Integrity comes from the word integer and implies "whole," it's more than honestyThe path to ACCOuntability is ACCO (Acknowledge, Consequences, Complete, Own)Endeavor requires Effort, Purpose, Attitude, and GrowthFailure is a stepping stone to success, it's not a roadblockSuperpower is standing out from who you were, just start by taking one step to embrace these unconditional values and align yourself with itLeadership Voyage is brought to you by Golden Mean Consulting Group, specializing in the training of new managers.

President Xi Jinping has called for giving full play to the role of the Palace Museum and turning it into an important window for the world to better understand Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation, as he visited an exhibition marking the museum's 100th founding anniversary on Monday.Once China's imperial palace from 1420 to 1911, and also known as the Forbidden City, the Palace Museum was established in October 1925, when it opened to the public.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, arrived at the Palace Museum in Beijing at 10 am to visit the centennial exhibition.More than 200 carefully selected exhibits, including paintings, calligraphy, jade, bronzeware, gold artifacts, porcelain and architectural components, are on display, bearing witness to the splendid history and unbroken cultural lineage of the Chinese nation.Xi listened attentively to the explanations during his visit, pausing from time to time to observe the exhibits closely and inquire about relevant details.He said that the Palace Museum embodies the cultural genes of the Chinese nation and stands as a hallmark of Chinese civilization.Protecting the Palace Museum well and giving full play to its role is a matter of national importance and a glorious mission for those who work at the museum, he said.Xi encouraged the Palace Museum, which is at a new starting point in its centennial journey, to carry forward its fine traditions, stay committed to the principle that cultural relics belong to and serve the people, and further strengthen the protection and restoration of cultural relics.He also called for efforts to enhance adaptive utilization of cultural relics, making the Palace Museum an important base for patriotic education and a key window through which the world can gain a deeper understanding of Chinese civilization and the Chinese people.Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and Li Shulei, head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, also visited the exhibition.Titled A Century of Stewardship: From the Forbidden City to the Palace Museum, the exhibition is in three parts: "A Lineage of Civilization", "A Century of Endeavor" and "Myriad Visions of Splendor". It opened on Sept 30 and will run until the year's end.centennial/senˈteniəl/adj.百年的lineage/ˈlɪniɪdʒ/n.脉络adaptive/əˈdæptɪv/adj.适应的、有适应能力的

From building the talent agency Endeavor into a giant representing Hollywood's biggest names, to bold moves like acquiring UFC, WWE, and expanding into live events and art fairs, Emanuel has redefined what it means to be an agent and an owner. His legendary career even inspired the character Ari Gold in the popular HBO show Entourage. In this conversation, Ariel reflects on his relentless early days in the mailroom, how he negotiates billion-dollar deals, why he believes pressure is a privilege, and what it takes to thrive in industries that never stop changing. They cover everything from Hollywood myths and combat sports to leadership, politics, art collecting, and the discipline behind ice baths and early morning workouts. In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New full episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our Highlight episodes every Friday.

Today, we're sharing an episode of the No Small Endeavor podcast. These days, our culture is marked by political unrest, polarization, and anxiety. Beauty and art feel like a luxury, or even a distraction. In a special series, No Small Endeavor is asking: What if art, beauty, and poetry are exactly what we need to face the crisis at hand? Can poetry help us protest, pray, lament, and even hope? Host Lee C. Camp talks to poets like Haleh Liza Gafori, a poet, musician, and acclaimed translator of the Persian poet Rumi; and Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet, theologian, and host of Poetry Unbound. Their conversations evoke thoughtfulness about how to fight for beauty in the current culture, and how to make it through the fires of our time together. In this episode, Lee talks to Joy Harjo, a musician, author, and three-term U.S. Poet Laureate. Camp and Harjo explore how poetry can act as a form of justice, a practice of self-development, and a tiny experiment in healing. You can listen to No Small Endeavor here.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan It focuses specifically on chapter 6, in which Hobbes develops his basic philosophy of human and animal action, which stems from the senses and movements of the body, and then flows into endeavor of appetite and aversion. These then give rise to other affects such as love, contempt, and hatred, joy and grief, and to differing judgements about various forms of good and evil.

All this week we're looking at David Kinnaman and Mark Matlock's book Faith for Exiles, and the five ministry practices churches and families must pursue to lead kids into life-long faith. The research done by Kinnaman and Matlock indicates that in order to form a lasting faith, we must work to create a church and family culture where rather than separating the generations, meaningful intergenerational relationships are formed with fellow believers who live and model a deep faith in Jesus Christ. Our culture is marked by isolation and mistrust between different generations. Some specific ways to make this happen include starting a mentoring program at your church where an older believer is paired with a young person. Our worship services should be inter-generational rather than generationally-segmented. And our homes should be places where our kids are exposed to older Christians as we practice hospitality. Endeavor to give your kids the gift of sitting under the wisdom of those who are older.

One of the most-streamed episodes so far. Now it has been officially copyrighted!!! As of September 18th!! Yeah Me!   No I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV, is literally a "cousin". And has emphatically stated he is not MAGA. As the first American-born pope, has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he "doesn't understand the United States," as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government. He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration's deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit. While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid "partisan politics," he has also said that he is not afraid to "raise issues" that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to walk, and his comments about human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a critique of the administration's policies from a moral and religious standpoint. I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But, I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold listening to #Obama speeches is classic!! #pettylujah  Facts: China has little incentive to make a sweeping trade deal with the current US administration (referencing the Trump administration) is that the current US strategy of unilateral pressure and withdrawal from global alliances inadvertently plays right into China's long-term strategic goals.

Verse for discussion: https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/2/3/17/ If we look towards Kṛṣṇa in this lifetime, even though we're still within the material modes of nature, if we're utilizing our time to glorify Kṛṣṇa, then we won't be affected by the external circumstances. Kṛṣṇa mentions in the Bhagavad Gītā that such a person is never disturbed or concerned with the external goings-on of the senses and their objects in the material world. And Prabhupāda also quotes Bhagavad Gītā 2.40, where it says: nehābhikrama-nāśo 'sti pratyavāyo na vidyate sv-alpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt This means that if one can utilize even a little bit of time for Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, then it protects one from the danger of completely misusing the human form of life and gliding back down again into the lower species. That's the greatest fear, but that can be mitigated by even a little bit of endeavor in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Then Prabhupāda gives this metaphor of a drug. The implication here is, if even a little bit can save one from the most dangerous type of fear, why not give more? Why not increase the ratio of the time one uses in this world to use it for Kṛṣṇa? Prabhupāda then makes a point about transcendent topics. Kṛṣṇa katha is like an injection or an anesthesia. In anesthesia, they are given injection, and once you take it, once the drug is induced into the brain, then you go into a state of deep sleep—anesthetized. In a similar way, he says, if you hear from devotees about Kṛṣṇa, then it acts just as effectively as such a drug. This drug you take by hearing is taken through the ear, and then it'll have an effect on our whole body, mind, and life. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
