The Friday edition of the AgNet News Hour opened with hosts Nick Papagni—the Ag Meter—and Lorrie Boyer welcoming listeners to another episode filled with agricultural insight, industry analysis, and expert voices. This week's feature was a compelling interview with one of California's most respected winemakers: Nicholas Karavidas, whose four-decade career spans cellar floors, tasting rooms, distillation, consulting, and global wine policy. What followed was an in-depth, candid, and far-reaching conversation covering the evolution of California wine, today's unprecedented industry slump, the future of global markets, and why automation is now essential for survival. A Winemaking Journey That Began at 18 Karavidas's entry into the wine world started by chance. After his family moved from Glendale to the historic Cucamonga Valley, he found himself surrounded by a vibrant —though now largely forgotten—grape-growing region. At just 18 years old, he took a position as a union cellar man at an old Gallo facility owned by Brookside, a major direct-to-consumer winery producing 600,000 cases a year across 38 tasting rooms. The work hooked him instantly. He loved: The intellectual side of winemaking The hands-on craft The lifestyle—surfing in the mornings, working swing shift, and still being a teenager His career ascended quickly: Senior lab technician Associate winemaker Full winemaking responsibility by age 21 He later joined the fourth-generation Filippi family winery, producing 3,000–4,000 tons per year. For 16 years, he managed everything “from the still to the bottle,” often running the distillery late at night before receiving fruit at sunrise. Forty Years of Change: From Jug Wine to Napa Prestige When asked how the industry has changed since those early days, Karavidas didn't hesitate: “Dramatically.” The 1970s–1980s: U.S. shelves were dominated by semi-generic wines like Chablis and Burgundy Four-liter jugs were standard Zinfandel was largely a blending grape Cabernet Sauvignon was not yet king The 1990s–2000s Shift: Varietal wines became mainstream Bottles got smaller and more premium Napa Valley transformed the American palate This evolution reshaped California wine into the global powerhouse it is today. Today's Wine Slump: “Unlike Any Cycle We've Seen Before” Following a commercial break, the Ag Meter steered the conversation toward the most pressing topic: the current wine downturn, especially pronounced in regions like Lodi, where Karavidas resides. He explained that while the industry has always cycled between under-supply and over-supply, the current slump is fundamentally different. How We Got Here From 1990 to 2000: U.S. wine consumption surged Vineyard plantings increased rapidly But all those vines reached full production at the same time. By 2005, California hit a 3-million-ton harvest, outpacing domestic demand. Back then, wine imports represented just 10–18% of the U.S. retail market. Today: A New Reality Imports now exceed 40% U.S. consumption is flat Production costs are rising Exporting wine is harder and less profitable International sales face steep: Duties VATs Fees Regulatory costs Shipping Hidden logistical expenses Some countries—India among the most extreme—can add up to 300% of the wine's value in export-related costs, making competition nearly impossible. Vineyard Removals: A Potential Over-Correction The most visible impact of today's imbalance is on the land itself. Karavidas estimates: Lodi has removed up to 30% of its vineyards in just 24 months Removals continue weekly Thousands of acres are gone, with risk of pulling out too much too quickly Making matters worse: European producers stockpiled massive volumes of wine in the U.S. just before tariffs hit. This “pre-load” flooded the market and pushed the 2025 California crop “into the weeds,” creating a backlog that could take years to unwind. Global Wine Vision 2035: A Call for Worldwide Alignment Karavidas also discussed his major initiative, Global Wine Vision 2035—a project he launched over a year ago after publishing digital essays that caught international attention. Its aim: Establish a more balanced, cooperative, and sustainable global wine economy. His framework focuses on: Regulatory consistency Fair trade policies Countering anti-alcohol and neo-prohibitionist movements Industry sustainability Representation for small & mid-sized producers Interest in the initiative is growing among academics in Canada, UK regulators, EU stakeholders, and others worldwide. A Global Wine Advisory Board is now in development, representing the 99% of producers who are not multinational giants. Karavidas shares ongoing insights via his Purple Happy Wine Inside Out Newsletter on LinkedIn. Why Younger Consumers Drink Less Wine The conversation turned to a key demographic shift. According to Karavidas, younger adults face multiple barriers: Health consciousness Rising interest in organic lifestyles Competition from cannabis & ready-to-drink beverages Too many choices and little guidance High prices Intimidating wine environments “You walk into a store with hundreds of bottles,” he said. “Where do you even start?” The Future Is Accessible: Cans, Single Serves & Less Intimidation Karavidas believes the current oversupply will help break down barriers and usher in a more modern, approachable wine culture. Expect more: Single-serve options Canned wines Affordable ready-to-drink portions Lower price points Less pressure and more fun He remains optimistic: “I'm bullish on the wine industry—not because it will return to the boomer boom, but because we're getting better at understanding our markets and our customers.” Advice to New Wine Drinkers: Keep It Fun His guidance for young couples or new consumers? Visit accessible regions like Lodi Talk to small producers Try new things—no rules Mix a spritzer if you want Chill reds if it tastes good Dive into technical knowledge only if it sparks curiosity Wine, he emphasized, should never be intimidating. Imports Are Winning—And Why California Must Automate Fast The Ag Meter raised the growing presence of low-price French, Italian, and other imported wines on U.S. shelves. Why are they so cheap? Foreign subsidies Lower labor costs Lower production costs Easier global export models California, meanwhile, pays: Higher wages Higher regulatory costs More expensive production inputs Karavidas's solution: Rapid mechanization and automation over the next 3–5 years. Automation: The Next Great Wine Revolution Karavidas predicts sweeping changes, including: Robotics in vineyards Mechanical pruning & pre-pruning Unmanned tractors Advanced mechanical harvesting Automated pump-overs Rotary screen systems for tank emptying Robotics in bottling & barrel cellars Smart-power systems like VinWizard Reduced water & energy use Alternatives to oak barrels This isn't about eliminating jobs, he stressed—it's about creating new ones for technicians, mechanics, and automation specialists.

Industry Reflections from the Hosts After the interview, Papagni and Boyer reflected on: The complex challenges facing the wine industry Declining consumption An aging population Stockpiled EU wine Tariffs, duties, and labor constraints The rise in organic preferences The importance of modernization They also promoted Monday's upcoming interview with Tim Hanni, focusing on why younger demographics are drinking less wine.

A Wine Industry in Transition—And Opportunity The full conversation with Nicholas Karavidas offered a rare insiders' look at an industry undergoing profound change. From global trade pressures and shifting consumer behavior to automation, vineyard redevelopment, and new packaging innovations, wine is at a defining moment. Yet Karavidas is clear: The future is promising for those who innovate. Adaptation, technology, and a renewed focus on accessibility will shape the next era of California and global wine—and the industry is already moving.

[3] Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.

He does not resist you.Patience in Suffering[7] Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.

The fall-to-winter season can feel overwhelming, with demands from work, family, and holiday preparations stacking up quickly. Psalm 127:1-2 reminds us that anything built without God’s guidance is in vain and that true rest is a gift from Him. By intentionally seeking His direction, setting boundaries, and taking meaningful breaks, we can cultivate a peaceful heart even in the busiest months of the year. Highlights God calls us to involve Him in all our work; without Him, our efforts are “in vain” (Psalm 127:1). Seek His guidance early, not just when life becomes overwhelming. Establish clear personal and professional boundaries to prevent burnout. Take intentional breaks during the busy season to rest, reflect, and refocus on God. Align your work and daily routines with God’s purposes to find true peace amidst busyness. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season? Check out our Holiday Gift Guide—from beautifully illustrated Bibles and devotionals to novels, greeting cards, and picture books, there’s something for everyone on your list. Wrap up stories for loved ones, tuck a book into your own nightstand, and join us in celebrating the wonder of giving this Christmas! Full Transcript Below: How to Have a Peaceful Heart in a Busy Season By Aaron D’Anthony Brown Bible Reading:“Unless the Lord builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain; unless the Lord watches over a city, the watchman stays alert in vain. In vain you get up early and stay up late, working hard to have enough food — yes, he gives sleep to the one he loves.” (Psalm 127:1-2, CSB) There’s something about the months of September to December that just seem to fly by. Blame the anxiety of school starting or the anticipation of Christmas, but something about the fall-to-winter season makes time seem to fast-forward for everybody! What is also true is that this time of year often brings out the worst in us busybodies, and the usually not-so-busybodies. We toil day and night performing favors, working longer hours for more money, stressing out about getting the right gifts or preparing the right food. We want everything to go right, while at the same time, neglecting our faith, health, and overall well-being. Don’t get me wrong. Work can be useful. Work is a venue for honoring God, serving others, distracting us from sin, and accomplishing good in the world. Faith without works is dead after all (James 2:14-17). That being said, while keeping ourselves busy with work can be productive, there’s an emphasis on can. Are we wise enough to know when work turns from a benefit to a disadvantage? If we’re being honest, usually not. The work we do, whatever that work is, should honor God. As Scripture tells us, anything we build without the Lord is built “in vain.” If we’re going about our busy season and have lost all semblance of peace, then we need to take a step back. Chances are, we’re not honoring God, and much of what we do is being done in vain. Intersecting Faith & Life: If you’re the sort of busybody that gets bogged down somewhere between September and December or all of it, then know you don’t have to stay as you are. You’re not stuck in endless toil and unrest. In fact, there are a few ways to ensure you have a peaceful heart during a busy season: Seek direction from the Lord. Scripture makes clear that we ought to seek God in all that we do. Whatever is done without Him is done “in vain.” We understand this when our backs are against the wall or we hit rock bottom. Then we want nothing but the Lord. However, when life is swell, work doesn’t feel so bad. Rather than wait for the craziness to eat the fan, seek God well in advance. Ask Him for what’s appropriate to do and how to best honor Him. Yes, God enjoys productivity, but putting our work above all else is sinful. Yes, God wants us to serve others, but He doesn’t want us to become so exhausted that we are bitter and angry toward those we wish to serve. By seeking God first, we’ll know how much busyness is good. We’ll have the wisdom to know what to do and how to do it. This will help with time management, navigating relationships, keeping our eyes on Jesus, and so much more. Set boundaries with yourself and others. Sometimes we overextend because we don’t know our limitations, and those who request of us don’t know our limitations either. If you want to find peace amidst busyness, you must set boundaries. That means setting aside time for work and rest, a time to spend in solitude with God, and a time to be among people. If you’re unsure what boundaries should look like, consider consulting someone who practices good boundaries. You may think having limits will hurt you during the busy season. On the contrary, the more rest you have and the better your performance, because you have more energy and mental clarity. Take a break from your toils. You might claim you already know this. You may say you don’t want to hear it again, but someone has to remind you. There is a time for work and a time for rest. Make sure at some point during the busy season, multiple points actually, you take a break from your toils. Find something to do, even by yourself, that feels more like comfort than work. That could mean going for a walk in the park, journaling, reading a book, drawing, or simply praying. Whatever you do, keep your eyes fixed on God. Then nothing you do will be done in vain.

A Day Is Coming – Part 1 MESSAGE SUMMARY: We are entering the season of Advent, which means “coming” or “arrival”. The Church begins this season of “arrival” or Advent as the time we recognize and celebrate the “arrival” of Jesus – both Jesus' “first coming” and His “second coming”. We celebrate Jesus' “first coming” on Christmas Eve. The season of Advent is, also, the beginning of the Church's “New Year”. Today, we begin our focus for Advent on Jesus “second coming” as promised by the Jesus in Luke 21:27-28: “And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”. Jesus realized that his first “arrival” on Earth was to sacrifice and to fulfil the Old Testament prophesies. Jesus knew, also, that His “first arrival” would provide a means that, through His sacrifice and Resurrection, could give all humans a personal relationship with God. However, Jesus knew that, after His sacrifice in His “first coming” into the World, that He would return to the World – Jesus' “second coming”. Jesus' “arrival”, in His “second coming”, is described, in the Bible text, that 1) Jesus is coming as the Son of Man – a term Jesus used to refer to Himself, from God's perspective; 2) Jesus is coming in a cloud; 3) Jesus' coming is preceded with certain signs in the Universe – all the “signs”, described in the Scripture, have already happened; and 4) the time of His coming being will be “soon” but “unknown”. As we are told in James 5:7-8, Jesus is coming again: “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.". The Bible, clearly, teaches that Jesus is coming into the World again – the “second coming”. What do we need to do given the certainty of Jesus' “second coming”? In Luke 21:34-36, Jesus answers this important question regarding our preparation for His “second coming”: “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”. Be reminded that the “cares” and “anxieties” of our lives can trap us from being ready for Jesus' “second coming”.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21).

5.7 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. 8 You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.12 But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.

In this class, I talk about the “rent” we pay in life—not the rent for a house, but the cost of the lifestyle we choose. I break down how this idea hit me after seeing a $340 Whole Foods trip show up on my account while I was also looking at housing prices in South Florida. It made me think about what level you want to live at and what that level actually demands from you. I speak mainly to men and heads of households, but this message applies to everyone. This is about choosing your lifestyle and understanding the real price that comes with it.

Note: This is a rebroadcast. It's a tough job to manage a household. Things need to be regularly fixed, maintained, and cleaned. How do you stay on top of these tasks in order to keep your home in tip-top shape?My guest knows his way all around this issue and has some field-tested, insider advice to offer. Charles MacPherson spent two decades as the major-domo or chief butler of a grand household. He's also the founder of North America's only registered school for butlers and household managers and the author of several books drawn from his butlering experience, including The Butler Speaks: A Return to Proper Etiquette, Stylish Entertaining, and the Art of Good Housekeeping.In the first part of our conversation, Charles charts the history of domestic service and describes why the practice of having servants like a butler and maid ebbed in the mid-20th century but has made a comeback today. We then turn to what average folks who don't have a household staff can do to better manage their homes. Charles recommends keeping something called a “butler's book” to stay on top of household schedules and maintenance checklists. We then discuss how to clean your home more logically and efficiently. Charles shares his golden rules of house cleaning, the cleaning task you've probably neglected (hint: go take a look at the side of the door on your dishwasher), his surprising choice for the best product to use to clean your shower, how often you should change your bedsheets, and much more.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: How to Establish a Simple Cleaning Routine and Stick to ItAoM Article: How to Clean Your Entire House in 30 MinutesAoM Article: How to Clean Like a ManAoM Article: Keep Your House in Tip-Top Shape — An Incredibly Handy Home Maintenance ChecklistAoM Article The Butler's Book: How to Create the Instruction Manual For Your HomeAoM Article: Towards a Philosophy of Household ManagementThe Book of Household Management by Isabella BeetonConnect With Charles MacPhersonCharles' websiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lisa Skinner discusses Alzheimer's care beyond memory loss, emphasizing the importance of "joining their reality" rather than correcting false beliefs. She challenges myths about late-stage awareness and stresses early planning, caregiver self-care, and workplace support as cases are projected to triple by 2050.   TAKEAWAYS Validate emotions and join their reality instead of correcting false beliefs to prevent distress. Establish legal documents and discuss end-of-life wishes early while loved ones can participate. Caregivers must prioritize self-care through support groups and breaks to maintain their health.

Ever walked into a new OR and spent the first ten minutes hunting for an airway bougie or a computer log-in that actually works? We dig into the hidden safety risks of a transient anesthesia workforce and share practical, fast-moving fixes that keep patients safe while keeping rooms open. With staffing shortages reshaping coverage models across the United States and beyond, locum clinicians are essential—but inconsistent environments, unclear escalation paths, and fragmented communication can turn small friction points into big hazards.We unpack what the current evidence says—and doesn't—about locum-related outcomes. A UK qualitative study surfaces predictable threats like unfamiliar systems and weak team integration, while primary care data shows prescribing differences without higher adverse events. In anesthesia, large safety studies are scarce, so leaders must rely on smart design: targeted orientation, standardized room setups, and shared mental models that don't depend on who's on the schedule. We also talk dollars and sense, highlighting a simulation-based break-even estimate for when full-time hiring outperforms locum coverage, and how to weigh cost without compromising safety.From the main OR to higher-risk non-operating room anesthesia sites, we outline concrete steps that work across settings. Limit initial deployment to oriented locations, add locum staff to all communication channels from day one, and use checklists, cognitive aids, and universal timeouts to reduce variability. Establish clear role definitions and escalation trees posted in every anesthetizing location, and fold temporary clinicians into audits, feedback loops, and ongoing education. The aim is simple: compress the ramp-up, eliminate guesswork, and make the safe action the easy action—even when teams change daily.If you care about perioperative safety, access, and team resilience, this conversation gives you a playbook to act now. Subscribe, share with a colleague who onboards locums, and email your best orientation tip so we can feature it on a future show.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/282-building-safer-anesthesia-teams-in-a-locum-driven-world/© 2025, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

THE SHABBAT RESTORATION TRILOGY: RESTORE US, HEAR ME, ESTABLISH ZIONPsalms 85–87“National Return, Personal Cry, Zion's Identity”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyToday's class walks through Psalms 85, 86, and 87, revealing the threefold restoration pattern Yahuah uses to return Israel back to covenant alignment:• Psalm 85 — National repentance and restoration• Psalm 86 — The servant's personal cry and dependence• Psalm 87 — Zion's prophetic identity and destinyThis is not poetry.This is not emotion.This is Yahuah's covenant order moving from repentance, to devotion, to prophetic identity.Psalms 85–87 expose the restoration journey that all Israel must walk:1. Return to Yahuah (Psalm 85:1–7)2. Hear His Voice and forsake folly (85:8–9)3. Align heaven and earth through righteousness (85:10–13)4. Bow the soul in humility (Psalm 86:1–4)5. Unite the heart in truth and fear (86:11–13)6. Cry out for deliverance (86:14–17)7. Take your place in Zion — the city Yahuah loves (Psalm 87:1–3)8. Know your identity — “This one was born there” (87:4–6)9. Drink from the springs in Zion (87:7)Each Psalm connects directly to the covenant foundation of Torah, the prophetic corrections, and the identity of Israel in the end time.Psalms 85–87 reveal the living architecture of Yahuah's justice system:Repentance is requiredRestoration is orderedDevotion is personalIdentity is propheticZion is centralHoliness is mandatoryThe heart must bowThe nation must turnThe people must hearThe servant must cryAnd heaven must answerThis is the restoration process from Torah to Zion.---I. Foundation — The Shabbat Restoration PatternII. Psalm 85 — National ReturnIII. Psalm 86 — The Servant's CryIV. Psalm 87 — Zion's IdentityV.

In this new coaching episode host Sophie Vo and co-host Maria Gillies are tackling the “Fear of Becoming You,” uncovering the profound themes surrounding leadership, self-awareness, and personal transformation. These themes have resonated particularly for women leaders navigating the complexities of authenticity and growth.Changing: The Paradoxes of GrowthIn our discussion, we delved into the paradoxical nature of personal growth. Many leaders express a desire to rise and transform while simultaneously fearing what that transformation might entail. The fear of “becoming someone you do not want to be” often mirrors a deeper apprehension of losing integral parts of oneself in the pursuit of growth.Identify When You Are Sabotaging YourselfChange starts with awareness.Recognizing where you feel stuck or conflicted—such as the fear of becoming your own Villain—can unveil deeper self-limiting beliefs. Trust that acknowledging these feelings is the first step toward overcoming them.Recalibrate Relationships: In and Out As you grow, you may need to reassess your relationships, including the one you have with yourself. Growth often requires reevaluation and sometimes letting go of connections that no longer serve your true self.This requires courage, and is part of the process of change.Practice Daily Self-AwarenessTrue self-awareness involves daily practices of introspection. Writing down and honoring your boundaries can guard your authenticity and prevent self-abandonment. 3 Signs You Are Not AlignedLeadership isn't merely about external success; it's about fulfilling your role while staying true to yourself. When shadows loom in leadership, signals manifest physically and emotionally, disrupting our well-being. Watch out for these:* Physical Symptoms: Stress or burnout symptoms such as anxiety, panic attacks, and physical exhaustion suggest misalignment in your path and priorities.* Emotional Up and Downs: Feelings of loneliness or disconnection, even when surrounded by people, are strong indicators that introspective work is needed.* Constant Misalignments: Recurring conflicts or dissatisfaction in professional and personal settings often highlight deep-seated issues begging for resolution.✍️ Coaching ToolsFor leaders seeking to address these shadows, fostering a conscious, self-aware mindset is crucial. Here are some practical options:* Daily Journaling: Spend time each day reflecting on your thoughts and feelings. Focus on areas that are out of alignment and use journaling to explore their roots.* Boundary Setting: Identify what is yours, what is not yours? Establish boundaries that protect your time and energy. Practice saying no.* Weekly Calibration: Regularly pause to assess your emotional state and recent interactions. Are they nourishing or depleting? Consciously decide who and what fills your environment. Change it.* Journey with a group: Join communities or circles where you can share experiences and gain diverse perspectives. These spaces offer opportunities for learning, healing, and collective growth.Don't be afraid to explore those uncomfortable questions: “What am I afraid of losing in the process of becoming who I truly want to be?” “When did I last ignore my instincts, and what was the outcome?”“What relationships in my life truly support my growth, and which ones do I maintain out of fear?”Remember that personal growth is not linear. On December 20th, I'll host online a free masterclass to go deeper on the themes to realign your life and purpose, overcoming the fears of becoming You.Thanks for reading Rise and Play!

Episode Description: In September 2008, Lehman Brothers—who survived the Civil War, two World Wars, and the Great Depression—collapsed in one of the largest bankruptcies in American history. They had Nobel laureates on staff, sophisticated models, and decades of market data. Yet they missed the critical difference between managing risk and navigating uncertainty. In this solo episode three days before the book The Uncertainty E.D.G.E. Lead with Clarity, Adapt with Confidence, Win with Conviction launches, Sam Sivarajan reveals why smart leaders repeatedly make this mistake and introduces the framework that helps you avoid it.Key Takeaways:Why sophisticated risk management can blind you to true uncertaintyThe critical difference between risk (calculable) and uncertainty (unpredictable)How Lehman Brothers' 25-sigma events revealed the limits of modelingThe four-phase EDGE framework: Establish, Diagnose, Go, EvolveWhy the next two years require uncertainty navigation over risk managementPre-Order The Uncertainty Edge:

Rob sits down with longtime softball coach Suzanne Unruh to unpack how coaching has changed over the past decade—and why today's athletes require a different kind of leadership. Suze shares how she evolved from a win-driven, blunt young coach to a purpose-focused mentor, emphasizing emotional intelligence, individualized coaching, and building identity beyond the game.The conversation highlights how showcase culture has impacted competitiveness, the importance of connection off the field, and why faith and relational trust have become central to her coaching philosophy. For anyone leading this generation—on the field or beyond—it's a timely, honest look at what it takes to coach well today.Key Themes:Coaching evolution: Suze reflects on how her approach has shifted from winning at all costs to leading with purpose, patience, and trust.Showcase culture and shifting motivation: Today's athletes often come from environments where exposure matters more than winning. Coaches must reframe the meaning of competition and team success.Individualized leadership: Modern athletes expect relational coaching. Knowing how each athlete wants to be coached is key to earning buy-in.Mental health and emotional awareness: Athletes today are more open about emotions. Coaches need emotional discipline and active presence, especially in high-pressure moments.Rebuilding identity: When athletes don't get the role they want, identity can crack. Coaches play a central role in helping athletes understand their value beyond the lineup.Relational trust: Off-field connection strengthens on-field performance. Suze shares practical ways she invests in athletes as whole people.Faith and long-term impact: Suze views coaching as ministry and mentorship—emphasizing purpose, relationships, and post-college connection as her deepest success markers.Notable Moments:01:10 – Suze on early coaching: “I was good, so I thought I'd just make them good” 03:20 – Becoming a head coach at age 22, unexpectedly 07:55 – Mistakes made early on—blunt honesty without relational context 12:40 – Comparing JUCO and four-year athletes: mindset, priorities, and approach 16:13 – The showcase era and its impact on competitiveness and team dynamics 18:20 – Athletes say they love competition—but do they mean it? 20:14 – The rise of emotional transparency in today's athlete 22:30 – How Suze keeps the bottom 10 on the roster valued and engaged 24:00 – Building identity outside the game to prepare for post-athletic life 27:42 – The cost of showing visible stress on the field 29:10 – What Suze wants it to feel like to be coached by her 32:45 – A coaching failure that almost made her quit—and what pulled her back 36:00 – Rapid fire: books, mistakes, success, and favorite coachesBooks mentioned: Tony Dungy's leadership books, Pat Summitt's coaching philosophyPractical Takeaways:Rebuild the team-first mindset. In the showcase era, many athletes arrive focused on visibility, not competition. Reframe the value of team success and shared goals.Coach the individual. Modern athletes need coaching tailored to how they receive feedback. One-size-fits-all approaches don't work.Establish identity beyond the sport. When roles change or playing time decreases, identity gaps can become emotional gaps. Use relationship to fill them.Manage your presence. Your emotional regulation sets the tone. Athletes quickly absorb your body language and energy.Value the whole roster. The culture often depends more on how the “non-stars” are treated than how the stars perform.Lead with relationship. Know their story. Trust and influence grow when athletes feel seen beyond the field.Keep faith at the center (if it aligns with your context). For Suze, purpose flows from faith—and that purpose informs how she coaches, leads, and supports her athletes long-term.Notable Quotes:Suzanne Unruh “They need to know I know how they want to be coached—and how not to coach them.” “Being told you're appreciated and you have a purpose is one of the most important things an athlete needs today.”Connect with the Impactful Coaching Project: X: @ICP_Project Instagram: @impactful_coaching_project LinkedIn: Impactful Coaching Project

In this episode, I break down how to identify your actual dream job in public health using a simple “mental algorithm” so you're not just scattering applications into the void, but moving with clarity and purpose toward a career that actually excites you. We talk honestly about the brutal November 2025 public health job market and how to think in terms of transferable skills. I walk you through how to network without being awkward or apologetic, including specific outreach emails (that you can use!) using my E.A.S.Y. framework (Establish, Ask, Simplify, Yield). Finally, I rapid-fire a huge list of public health job titles and organizations you can plug into job boards right away and invite listeners to email me for resume and job-hunt questions.

In this podcast, we continue our series exploring the pillars of my new book, Become a Global Leader. Today we focus on a capability that every global leader should master if they want real impact in their career and leadership growth: bridge challenging conversations. Challenging conversations appear in every organisation, every industry and every team. What distinguishes a global leader with strong communication skills and cultural intelligence is how to navigate these situations. In this episode, I guide you through the foundations you need before stepping onto the challenging conversation bridge, my framework to resolve conflict, including designing purposeful conversations, understanding the cultural angles in disagreements and turning up your empathy radar so you can move away from division and towards solutions. You'll also hear why openness must come first in any difficult dialogue, how to ladder up to a common goal to reduce friction and create alignment and why adopting an innovation mindset helps you move from conflict to future-focused collaboration. We then explore Listening 101, a practical approach to intelligent listening that supports better leader communication, how to refocus when you're distracted and how to get others' attention when they are not listening to you. Finally, we look at communicating boundaries, why saying no is hard and how to say it clearly and assertively without damaging relationships, especially in culturally diverse settings. In this episode: The elements needed to bridge challenging conversations Designing conversations with cultural intelligence Why empathy is a foundation for productive dialogue Establish openness to dialogue to reduce resistance Ways to align around a shared objective The innovation mindset that unlocks solutions Intelligent listening strategies for stronger communication Reflection Questions: Where could the challenging conversation bridge help you right now in your interactions?

SOL LUCKMANIt's hardly surprising that one of the most iconic and bestselling musician biographies of all time, and the first (of a veritable “Spanish Caravan”) written about the Doors front man Jim Morrison, was titled NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE.The lyric is a line from “Five to One,” a perennial fan favorite penned by Morrison but credited officially to the Doors—and it has stuck in my mind (as it has in countless others over more than half a century since its 1968 release) like a splinter, to reference the movie THE MATRIX that also figures prominently in this book.When I was living in Paris in the early 1990s, I became obsessed with Morrison, and not just his music but his often macabre poetry as well. This was shortly after the release of Oliver Stone's uber provocative rock biopic that put to shame all other rock biopics, THE DOORS.As a birthday present, my girlfriend gave me a bilingual copy of THE LORDS & THE NEW CREATURES, Morrison's first volume of poetry replete with dark meditations on sex, celebrity, drugs, and (of course) death.While riding the Metro, sitting on the steps of Montmartre and sipping espresso at cafés, I found myself reading it alternately in English and the French translation to capture more and more nuances of Morrison's cryptic, multilayered thought.Jim had died in Paris and was buried in the city's famously lovely necropolis, Père Lachaise Cemetery. His grave—which once featured a stone bust with his big hippy hair made by a Croatian sculptor and stolen in 1988—was, and still is, a literal shrine to many tourists, fans and hipster locals making rock ‘n' roll pilgrimages from near and far.Practically as controversial in death as in life, ever since his untimely demise in 1971 that rocked the rock world, Morrison has lingered in a sort of public half-life.Simultaneously, he has been an inspiration for counterculture and music lovers; a nuisance for Parisians fed up with the incessant drinking, smoking and carousing that have turned his grave into an eternal party; and a would-be prodigal son to his home country, where a Florida politician bizarrely (and unsuccessfully) sought to have Jim's final resting place relocated to his birthplace, the Space Coast!My girlfriend—call her Kate—and I regularly visited Morrison's final resting place, and often partook in the festivities, which I must admit were exemplary displays of Dionysian behavior … if inevitably a regretted hangover source.Filled with more cemeteries, church crypts and bone-lined Catacombs than you could shake a Gauloise at, Paris invited an ongoing meditation on the afterlife. Like HARRY POTTER's Myrtle without the moaning, I regularly found myself contemplating the seeming inevitability of death.And then one overcast Parisian winter afternoon half a decade later, when I was back in town visiting a new girlfriend, while standing in front of Morrison's grave strewn with flowers and cigarette butts yet again as if no time had elapsed and nothing had changed, the doors of my perception (hat tip to William Blake and Aldous Huxley) suddenly burst wide open when a still small voice inside me asked this simply disarming question:“Does no one here get out alive?”Copyright © Sol Luckman.

Season 5, EPISODE 263 Common Ground Coalition Seeks To Preserve America's Food Security By Uniting Livestock Producers   Agriculture is not optional. America's food chain is only as strong as our family farms and ranches. Our livestock industry is better together and must unify with one voice. As dedicated stakeholders in the livestock industry, we call upon our fellow livestock producers and all of agriculture to join us and stand united. The time has come to prove that our industry can and will align to drive meaningful and lasting change, safeguarding the future of America's agricultural sector, rural communities and our nation's food independence. We need your help in giving America's livestock industry a common voice. The 5 Key Components Of The Common Ground Coalition 1. Achieve and Maintain Ag-Friendly Tax Policy Extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions that help agriculture beyond 2025, including: Preservation of federal transfer tax lifetime exemption amounts, indexed for inflation, and Retention of step-up in basis under § 1014, and Return to 100% bonus depreciation under § 168, and Continued expanded application of § 179, and Maintenance of the § 199A qualified business income deduction. Increase the aggregate limit allowed under § 2032A to $30 million, indexed for inflation. 2. Make Risk Management Tools More Effective Increase the Livestock Risk Protection subsidy level, and Allow Livestock Risk Protection coverage to start the day price risk is assumed, and Create or improve mechanisms for industry input and oversight of risk management tools that will make them more attractive to producers. 3. Improve Access To Labor Remove the seasonality component from H-2 programs, and Create an optimized and efficient process for workers in good standing to return to the same employer year after year, and Redefine “agricultural employer” to expand its scope for purposes of H-2A programs to include more employers essential to agricultural production in the United States. 4. Increase Flexibility For Livestock Haulers Exempt livestock haulers from Hours-of-Service rules, and Permanently exempt livestock haulers from the Electronic Logging Device mandate, and Support the state and federal adoption of increased load capacity limits. 5. Create Support For Young & Emerging Livestock Producers Reform USDA programs to raise limits on guaranteed loan programs, streamline the lending process, and expand eligibility criteria. Create tax credits or incentives for leasing or selling land to, and providing capital to, younger or emerging livestock producers, including elimination of capital gains, reduced financing costs, and access to loans. Create front-loaded tax relief for buyers purchasing land for use in livestock production. Establish programs and educational programming to cultivate interest in young people to pursue careers in livestock production. Incentivize livestock producers and others, including those in academia, business, and government, to mentor young or emerging livestock producers and support new entrants into the industry. Develop technologies targeted at increasing efficiency in livestock production.

3. SURVIVAL DURING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Before the siege of Jerusalem was sealed, two foundational groups fled: Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai, smuggled out to Yavneh to establish Rabbinic Judaism, and the followers of Jesus, who went to Pella. Titus focused the Roman assault on the city's weakest point, the northern wall. The overconfident Romans were repeatedly frustrated by Jewish defenders using effective irregular tactics, including raids and undermining siege equipment. 1698

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross breaks down why B2B marketers need to rethink their bottom-of-funnel strategies. Traditional review sites like G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius are losing ground in high-intent search queries—and Reddit is stepping up to take their place. Ross explores how Reddit outperforms review platforms in organic reach, how it's shaping AI results, and exactly how brands can build a strategic, valuable presence on the platform. If you're still spending five figures a quarter on legacy review listings, this episode is your wake-up call to adapt or fall behind. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1.  The Changing Buyer Landscape - The death of traditional review sites: G2, Capterra, and others are losing organic influence. - Buyer behavior has evolved: Reddit is becoming the go-to source for real, unfiltered reviews. 2. Reddit Is Now Dominating High-Intent Search - Keywords like “best X software” are now leading to Reddit threads. - Reddit is outperforming review sites on SERPs and AI-generated insights. 3. How AI Tools Are Using Reddit for Context - LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity reference Reddit threads for information. - Partnerships with Reddit make it a key AI content source. 4. Why Reddit Comments Are More Trustworthy - Real debates and discussions offer depth that polished reviews lack. - Even negative experiences can influence AI answers and user perception. 5. The New B2B Buyer Journey - Traditional buyer path (→ G2 → demo) is being replaced by Reddit-informed decisions.Example: Users choose tools based on multi-comment threads and user anecdotes. 6. The 3-Step Strategy for Brands to Navigate Reddit - Create a Brand Subreddit (or claim existing ones via moderators). - Establish an Official Reddit Account (use Reddit Pro). - Build a Branded Persona who engages in other subreddits as a real user. 7. Tactical Tips for Reddit Marketing - Repurpose content: Post blog entries in the subreddit with keyword-rich, helpful commentary. - Host conversations: Ask customers for Reddit reviews.  - Build a safe space with consistent value. 8. Balancing Risk & Authenticity - Reddit is not just SEO; it's a community with a low tolerance for corporate spin. - A well-managed presence drives pipeline—but failure to engage authentically can backfire.

The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1882 CAIRO
