The past decade has tragically tested the resilience and brilliance of transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive (trans) people living in the U.S. Misinformation about who we are and what we want has sparked thousands of anti-transgender bills introduced in nearly every state capital across the country, adversely impacting almost every segment of the trans community. Despite this harsh reality, the future is a rainbow, and it's wise for business leaders to recognize this truth. It's also essential for these leaders to recognize the responsibility they have to prepare their organizations today in anticipation of this future talent upgrade. Afterall, the latest research shows that 20% of Generation Z identifies as LGBTQ+, and of that number 1 in 4 are nonbinary, with another 20% questioning their gender identity. Many business leaders today struggle with how to build gender-inclusive workplaces and ways to prioritize this essential aspect of advancing their diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments in the face of unprecedented backlash. Strong objections from a well-organized and vocal minority, which are out of alignment with public opinion, have led some organizations to backtrack on their gender inclusion commitments. To enhance the skills and confidence leaders will need to weather this current storm, this episode of the Business of Belonging mini-series features Third Segment CEO, Amanda Simpson, and JPMorgan Chase Executive Director, Chris Mossiah. Amanda serves as an advisor on aerospace, energy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a nationally renowned speaker, she has presented before a wide variety of corporate, government, and nonprofit audiences. She has served in executive leadership positions at Airbus, Raytheon, and Douglas Aircraft, and the Obama Administration as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy.  Chris is an Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase's consumer & community banking line of business. They are also the co-chair of the Firmwide Gender Expansive Council and co-lead for the Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Nonbinary Subcommittee of the PRIDE Tri-State BRG. Both Chris & Amanda serve on Out & Equal's Transgender & Nonbinary Executive Leadership Circle. Together, we explore: Common Barriers. What are some of the common barriers transgender and nonbinary people experience at work? Future of Work. Why is the future of work gender-diverse, and what can business leaders do today to prepare? Gender-Inclusion Practices. What actions can leaders take today to build more spaces of belonging for gender diversity to flourish? This interview was designed to support people like you - visionary leaders, and those on their way to joining us.

Allies. In workplace settings, there are times when most of us need them. Consider this scenario; you're in a meeting, and you're about to take a calculated risk to share an unpopular idea. As soon as you complete your thought, one of your colleagues quickly responds, complimenting you on your idea, and asking you to share more. That's an act of allyship.   Conversely, in that very same meeting, you can take an act of allyship by showing up for a different colleague when another person says something unskillful to them. Without a beat, you can simply say, “You just said [insert statement]. Could you explain more specifically what you meant?” That simple response should do the trick to shine a light on the harm they caused.   When it comes to showing up for your LGBTQ+ colleagues, acts of allyship in workplace settings are life-saving. They help build the foundation of increased safety and trust that can get more of LGBTQ+ employees closer to experiencing that elusive sense of belonging at work. Yet, for some of the budding LGBTQ+ allies out there, being an authentic ally causes some pause. Some may ask themselves, “what if I cause even more harm,” and instead retreat into silence.   To help build up the confidence and skills of these emerging LGBTQ+ workplace allies, I am excited to speak with Jean-Marie Navetta who will help us answer this big question: What does it take to be an authentic ally during these challenging times?   If you're unfamiliar with Jean-Marie, for nearly 20 years she's worked in the LGBTQ+ movement to help engage people both outside and inside of the community to be part of the work of building on policy change to transform culture to become more actively inclusive. She's spent 17 years with PFLAG National leading their work in this area and for the past year, she's continued that effort at Out & Equal.   Together, during our conversation, you will:   Learn why performative acts of allyship, or merely calling yourself an ally, without taking any action is the fastest way to erode the trust of your LGBTQ+ colleagues.   Gain fresh insights on accessible actions you can take to show up as an LGBTQ+ ally - some of these are more easy and significant than you think.   Explore new allyship practices you can test out with close friends and family members to to build up the confidence necessary to overcome the comfort of silence.   This interview was designed to support people like you - visionary leaders, and those on their way to joining us. Savor this insightful talk, and if you're looking for more ways to connect with inspiring leaders like Jean-Marie, be sure to join our Belonging Membership Community - a community of practice committed to putting our values of belonging, community, and collaboration into action.

The episode you're about to hear is one of nearly a dozen conversations a part of the show's podcast mini-series, The Business of Belonging, brought to you by Out & Equal. Out & Equal is the premier global nonprofit organization working exclusively on LGBTQ+ workplace equality.   In this particular episode, we're focusing on the LGBTQ+ Movement's History as it relates to the workplace here in the United States…and we know…   LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion goes beyond “food, fun, and famous people” during Pride celebrations. It goes beyond flashy public relations statements made by a CEO. More often than not, it begins with a small group of thoughtful, committed LGBTQ+ employees and allies willing to collaborate with organizational leaders to upend invisible workplace barriers they endure.   Over the past few decades, significant outcomes have resulted from this type of workplace advocacy. On a national level, the U.S. Military's “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” Policy was rescinded and replaced with allowing more queer people to openly serve at the world's second largest employer, and in 2020 the U.S. Supreme Court banned employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.   Despite these enormous gains, LGBTQ+ people, particularly BIPOC, transgender, and nonbinary people - still endure employment discrimination, harassment, persistent microaggressions, and violence on-the-job. As a consequence, LGBTQ+ people are more likely to live below the poverty line, deal with suppressed wages, and fear their job security and prospects for advancement simply for existing.   To better contextualize the recent history of the LGBTQ+ movement, the journey leading brands have taken to include LGBTQ+ employees, and what's likely on the horizon in the years ahead, I have the distinct privilege of interviewing someone I deeply respect and admire, Bob Witeck.   If you're unfamiliar with Bob, he is President of Witck Communications, Inc., and for nearly four decades a pioneering communications strategist dedicated to the advancement of LGBTQ+ communities around the world. He is a communications consultant, author, speaker, and researcher.   Together, during our conversation, you will:   Learn about the key milestones and turning points in the LGBTQ+ workplace rights movement, and how these events have shaped the current landscape.   Gain an understanding of the work still ahead to upend the ongoing challenges and barriers experienced by LGBTQ+ employees - particularly for BIPOC and trans people.   Recognize the role LGBTQ+ employee resource groups (ERGs) and allies play in building strength in numbers to continue moving workplaces along the inclusion journey.     This interview was designed to support people like you - visionary leaders, and those on their way to joining us. Savor this insightful talk, and if you're looking for more ways to connect with inspiring leaders like Bob, be sure to join our Belonging Membership Community - a community of practice committed to putting our values of belonging, community, and collaboration into action.

That notification telling you "more regular viewers aren't watching" could actually signal you're successfully reaching new audiences—exactly what some content is designed to do.One listener's experience perfectly illustrates how seemingly small details can dramatically impact performance. After adding descriptions to dormant YouTube shorts, they immediately saw growth spike. This powerful reminder about metadata's importance reveals how YouTube's algorithm sometimes needs our help to understand what our content is truly about, especially when it lacks sufficient viewing data to make those determinations itself.We tackle the eternal question many creators face: start a new channel or pivot an existing one? For one listener managing three channels between 700-4,000 subscribers, the conventional advice to "focus on one niche" might not apply. Sometimes the happiest path isn't the most strategic one, and maintaining multiple creative outlets can prevent burnout even if it doesn't maximize growth. The same principle applies to balancing shorts and long-form content—recognizing they serve different viewer intentions rather than expecting one audience to seamlessly convert to another.The heart of successful YouTube strategy might be embracing what veteran creator Mark shared: "Only a handful of subscribers watch your channel anyway... the only failure is giving up too soon." Most channels see 80% of their growth from just 20% of their videos, with these "outlier" hits serving as stepping stones that gradually raise your baseline performance. Success isn't about making every video perform exceptionally but understanding how the ecosystem works together to create sustainable, long-term growth.What YouTube strategy questions are you wrestling with?

Today I'm joined by Ryan Mandelbaum, author of Wild NYC: Experiencing the amazing nature in & around New York City.When we think of immersing ourselves in nature most of us are likely guilty of imagining far off wilderness locations but Ryan is passionate about exploring the incredible diversity of nature that can be found in the urban environment & in particular in NYC. Urban areas were often chosen for their rich natural features that would have benefitted wildlife as much as the humans that were drawn to these areas.We discuss how connecting with nature has enriched their life in numerous unexpected ways, finding community in the often isolating city existence. Even if you are a complete beginner, there has never been a better time to become a naturalist. Simply start on your own street & begin observing the natural world. If you slow down & look there are untold secrets to be revealed from Raven's nesting on the Brooklyn bridge, to humpback whales & even mountain ferns on the side of a railway viaduct.As we begin to recognise & appreciate the amazing nature on our doorsteps, we likely become advocates for our natural heritage & this ripples out into the world in untold ways, catalysing social movements as well as environmental change. Learn more about RyanRyan F.

Is it time to panic? In this episode, we invite rhetorician Ira Allen to the bar to explore the possibility that, yes, it might be—and that panic isn't just an irrational breakdown but a vital, even necessary, affective response to the ongoing collapse we're all living through. Allen's recent book Panic! Now: Tools for Humanizing in an Age of Staggered Collapse challenges the neoliberal injunction to “stay calm” and instead asks what might be made possible if we allowed ourselves to feel—and live with—our panic.Together with co-hosts Leigh Johnson, Talia Bettcher, and Rick Lee, Allen traces how the overlapping crises of climate change, late capitalism, and colonial legacies (what he dubs the "CaCaCo assemblage") have produced a collective emotional numbness, even as our world becomes increasingly uninhabitable. The conversation ranges from the epistemic realism of panic, to historical insights on military discipline, to a speculative politics of reorganization rooted in solidarity, care, and a radical openness to the more-than-human world.Equal parts sober analysis and mischievous wordplay (yes, CaCaCo is a "shit company"), this episode offers listeners a profound reframing of emotional collapse not as weakness, but as a portal to collective possibility. Whether you're already living in the slow burn of existential dread or just now starting to smell the smoke, you won't want to miss this disarmingly hopeful invitation to “panic wisely.”Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/panic-now-with-ira-allen-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.The landmark Supreme Court decision in Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services fundamentally reshapes our understanding of workplace discrimination protections. Through a rare unanimous ruling, the Court has powerfully affirmed that every individual—regardless of majority or minority status—stands equal under employment law.What makes this case particularly significant is how it dismantles misconceptions about "reverse discrimination." As we explore in this episode, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act never distinguished between majority and minority groups—it protects individuals. When Marlene Ames, a heterosexual woman, found herself denied promotion and subsequently demoted while LGBTQ+ candidates were favored, she challenged this discrimination all the way to the Supreme Court. Despite losing at lower court levels, her persistence ultimately vindicated a principle too often misunderstood: discrimination against anyone based on protected characteristics is illegal, full stop.The Court's decision, delivered through Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, rejected the additional burden that some courts had placed on majority plaintiffs to prove "background circumstances" suggesting their employer discriminates against majority groups. This ruling has profound implications for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in American workplaces. While the Court didn't explicitly address DEI, the message is clear—policies that favor certain groups at the expense of others cross legal boundaries. For employees who believe they face discrimination despite belonging to a majority group, this decision provides significant legal backing.Have you experienced workplace discrimination but hesitated to speak up because you belong to a majority group? Understanding your rights is the first step toward workplace equality.

In a thought-provoking dialogue, the hosts address the claim that all religions are fundamentally the same, a statement often made in discussions of interfaith dialogue. They argue that this assertion is not only oversimplified but also overlooks the distinct truths that each religion professes. By dissecting the unique aspects of Christianity, particularly its teachings on grace versus works, they illustrate how this faith stands apart from others. The discussion challenges listeners to consider the implications of religious beliefs on moral behavior and eternal destiny, encouraging a deeper exploration of the validity of these claims and the necessity of discernment in spiritual matters.Takeaways: There is a notable emphasis on the distinction between faith-based systems and those that are purely works-based, highlighting the uniqueness of Christianity as a grace-based religion. The speakers delve into the topic of false claims made by various religions, arguing that not all religions can be true due to their contradictory teachings and inherent differences. The conversation touches on the personal responsibility of Christians to respond to slander and attacks while maintaining a spirit of grace and a focus on truth in their faith. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding the nature of God as both just and merciful, which is a unique aspect of Christianity compared to other religions. Listeners are encouraged to engage with challenging questions about faith, recognizing the value of apologetics in defending their beliefs and understanding the truth.

In this June 6 edition of the RattlerGator Report, J.B. White delivers a charged and free-flowing monologue unpacking the chaos of the modern moment. From the University of Florida's Board of Governors rejecting Santa Ono's presidency to the swirling narratives around Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and Donald Trump, J.B. navigates what he calls “a world of competing confusions.” He examines whether figures like Elon and Bannon are adversaries or actors in a broader strategy, ultimately arguing that loyalty, discernment, and timing are the keys to understanding the moves being made, especially by Trump. J.B. critiques media idiocy, defends Elon's role as a unique operator in Trump's orbit, and explores geopolitical shifts in China, Russia, and Ukraine, praising Trump's handling of global power realignment. He also reflects on his personal journey, cultural identity, and what it means to be a bridge-builder in a time of national transformation. Equal parts sermon and strategy session, this episode captures the intensity of the current moment and the conviction that the battle is already won, it's just a matter of sealing the victory.

Writer, filmmaker, and one of the founding queens of Drag Story Hour, Kyle Casey Chu (aka Panda Dulce) brings us her poignant debut novel. Equal parts sweet coming-of-age story and thoughtful, kid-friendly exploration of intersectional identity, QUEEN BEES OF TYBEE COUNTY is a celebration and imagination of a world in which we all get the support and affirmation we deserve. After making the buzzer-beating shot at the Georgia basketball state championships, Derrick Chan becomes the star of Bayard Middle School, and Derrick's single dad could not be prouder. But there are parts of Derrick that no one knows about, like the toenail polish he wears under his basketball sneakers, his secret lip-sync performances in the bathroom mirror, and the feelings he's developing for his best friend and teammate, JJ. As the school year comes to a close, Derrick's dad takes an out-of-town job and ships Derrick off to spend the summer with his estranged, eccentric grandmother, Claudia. Soon, Claudia introduces Derrick to the world of small-town southern beauty pageants, and Derrick suddenly feels he's found where he belongs. But when the opportunity arises to compete in the town pageant, Derrick is forced to decide just how much of himself he's ready to show the world. Can he learn to love and accept the most unique parts of himself? And what will happen if others—like his father and JJ—can't do the same? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Are investors wrong to assume that rate cuts will automatically tame inflation? Lance Roberts and Michael Lebowitz challenge the belief that the Fed's rate cuts always translate into lower inflation. Using historical data and current economic conditions, we explore how monetary policy really interacts with price pressures—and why rate cuts may actually stoke inflation under the wrong conditions. Specifically, Lance and Mike address the real impact of Federal Reserve rate cuts and inflation, why cutting rates doesn't always reduce inflation, and some lessons from past economic cycles. What today's investors should expect in 2025

When was the last time you truly rested? Not just collapsed from exhaustion, but experienced the kind of deep, soul-nourishing rest that leaves you transformed and strengthened?In this enlightening episode, we dive deep into the concept of "God-sized rest" and how it differs dramatically from our cultural understanding of taking a break. Exploring both Hebrew words for rest found in Scripture, we discover that biblical rest isn't about recovery or catching up on sleep. It's about savoring God's presence, delighting in His creation, and finding security in His faithfulness. It's not passive withdrawal but active engagement with the source of our peace.Join us for this transformative discussion about finding the strength to equal your days through God-sized Sabbath rest. Your understanding of both rest and strength may never be the same.

The U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $61.6 billion in April, signaling a shift in imports and exports. But everyday Americans are still grappling with higher costs, driven in part by President Donald Trump's trade policies. Despite fewer imports, the decline may reflect reduced purchasing power rather than domestic economic strength.

Many today are coming out of atheism and even other religions and embracing the traditional path of Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. Yet scripture and history warn us clearly that such is the end of all things, and many will be deceived by a counterfeit system of worship in the end posing as the will of God on Earth. Today we will look at several reasons why tradition is not the truth, because it fails the test of scripture.For the written study please go here.TIMESTAMPS:* 00:00 - Introduction* 01:43 - Disclaimer* 02:42 - Not All Traditions are Equal* 05:43 - Two Important Notes* 08:08 - Reason 1: Call No Man On Earth Your Father* 10:07 - Reason 2: Only One Mediator* 11:31 - Reason 3: Transubstantiation* 12:45 - Reason 4: The Second Birth & Baptism* 15:50 - Reason 5: No Salvation Outside the Church* 17:04 - Reason 6: The True Universal Church* 20:21 - Reason 7: The Nature of Salvation* 23:50 - Reason 8: Predestination* 27:52 - Reason 9: The Nature of Apostasy* 31:50 - Reason 10: The Afterlife* 36:43 - Reason 11: Veneration* 38:55 - Reason 12: The Nature of Prayer* 40:49 - Reason 13: Cosmology* 43:24 - Reason 14: The Apocrypha* 46:30 - Reason 15: The Climate Justice Gospel* 49:21 - Reason 16: Changing Times & Laws* 58:44 - Reason 17: The Pope* 1:01:58 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

In this triple-feature episode of Horror Hill, acclaimed author Jesse Pullins invites you to take the scenic route through a landscape where reality frays at the edges, and something ancient waits just beyond the next bend. Whether it's a lonely drive through the dark woods, a nostalgic joyride that veers into nightmare, or a house visit that turns out to be anything but routine, each tale leads further from the familiar—and closer to something terrifying. So buckle up, keep your eyes on the road, and whatever you do... don't stop. "Watch for Deer" by Jesse Pullins – Fresh off his first shift at a new job, a young man makes the long drive home through a remote wooded backroad. But when a sudden encounter on the dark highway leaves him shaken, he begins to suspect that not everything in the forest is as it seems. With the night growing colder and stranger by the minute, he'll have to confront something far older—and more deliberate—than any wild animal. A haunting meditation on guilt, nature, and unseen forces, this story will change the way you see the roadside forever. "Neon Nightmare" by Jesse Pullins – Warren and his friend Rodger are riding high—literally—as they cruise the desert in an '85 Corvette, amped on designer drugs and 1980s nostalgia. But their euphoric road trip begins to fracture when something starts following them: a shadow that speaks in whispers and leaves black stains in its wake. What begins as a psychedelic joyride soon becomes a violent sprint through a dreamscape where nothing is what it seems. Equal parts surreal and savage, this is a high-octane tale of escape, addiction, and the horrors that hitch a ride in our minds. "My Last House Blessing" by Jesse Pullins – Father Cain has made a living pretending to cleanse haunted homes—his robes, rosary, and “holy water” all just part of the act. But when he takes a new gig in a remote Victorian house, he finds himself facing more than just creaky floors and nervous homeowners. What was supposed to be a simple grift turns into a descent into something primal, ritualistic, and deeply wrong. A layered tale of deception and consequence, this story peels back the curtain on the horrors that can't be faked.
