In this episode, Jack Cochran is joined by Jon Billett, Founder and CEO of StoryQuadrant, to discuss why storytelling in presales needs to be treated as an industrial skill rather than a soft skill. They explore Jon's framework for the four types of stories every SE should master, the danger of "Mad Libs" style customer stories, and why the most important story is the one told after you leave the room. Jon shares insights from his 15 years in presales and his unique background as a member of the Magic Circle, revealing how structure, rather than content, creates memorable presentations that drive deals forward.

Description: The "Black Widow" of hip-hop is back with her most explosive claims yet. Celina Powell has set the internet on fire after posting a series of "receipts" alleging that rapper Offset owes her over $15,000. According to Powell, the debt stems from a 4 AM "loyalty test" where the Migos rapper allegedly borrowed her cash to gamble, only to lose it all. We break down the disturbing FaceTime footage where Offset allegedly threatens to have someone "beat, stripped, and shot in the knee"—a target many believe to be Cardi B's new partner, NFL star Stefon Diggs. From the "sleepy boy" bedroom video to the warnings that Offset is "dangerous," we dive into every detail of this developing scandal

Getting laid off from your W2 job can be a crushing blow, but for today's guest, it was the push she needed to finally bet on herself.

When consulted last week by a childhood buddy of mine, I was chosen as acting consigliere for his line of inquiry concerning the beginnings of a record collection and turntable area for his home. My response was to show him my setup on FaceTime and proceed to flip through examples that would pull the heart strings. The Mike Jones clean album sampler, Paul Wall People's Champ, Dem Franchise Boys promo album. Things of this nature. Which looking back now, I really wish I featured those and some others on this installment. I did manage to find Chamillionaire's album for $20 recently, worth a lot more on online, and it sounds great. I might just have to blast a 2000's Hip Hop eppy for next install. This buddy of mine that called isn't just anybody. He is the most reliable point guard that I ever played organized basketball with and he is the person that showed me BTSTU by Jai Paul for the first time while playing Halo 3 at my first apartment when I was 18. Super sick inside baseball. Yoshinobu Yamamocheese. I am a middle aged man that went to a Pokemon card show TWO times in one weekend. My love life is in complete shambles and boring me to tears. I did manage to flip $80 into a $600 collection in two days so oooooweeeeee I'm on fire and we don't need no wata. As always, thank you for choosing to click on my radio show type of thing we got going on over here now. I may bust out an episode next week or I may slow roll it and go into a cocoon until the spring. Who knows and who gives a flying rip besides Keisha. That Scarface '83 Promo cost $100 that could've gone to my Pokemon collection so I hope somebody enjoyed it. It was cold when I bought the album, I got home, put it on and I smiled so hard that my lips split really bad and cracked in multiple places. So what. Until next time..Your Host with the Most,DJ Witwicka Juan Don
In this After Hours episode of The Underground Lounge, the crew kicks it with comedian Malik S for a late-night conversation that's equal parts hilarious, insightful, and unfiltered. From the jump, the vibes are set as the group dives into everything from FaceTime etiquette and first impressions to the unspoken rules of dating in today's culture.The conversation shifts seamlessly between comedy and real life as Malik opens up about fatherhood, co-parenting, divorce, and what it really takes to grow after relationships change. He speaks candidly about accountability, learning how to listen more than talk, and the difference between standing on your truth and simply refusing to admit you're wrong. The crew adds their own perspectives, turning everyday situations into laugh-out-loud moments that feel just like a late-night hang with friends.Malik also takes time to talk about his brand-new comedy special, Laughing Voodoo, giving listeners an inside look at the inspiration behind it and the stories that shaped the material. He breaks down the creative process, the real-life moments that turned into jokes, and why this special represents a new chapter in his career. From navigating the business of comedy to choosing YouTube as the platform for release, Malik shares real insight on ownership, visibility, and why connecting directly with your audience matters more than ever in today's entertainment landscape.Things get even deeper as Malik reflects on his journey in comedy, from his upbringing and the influence of his mother to the work ethic that continues to drive him. He gives flowers to the comedians who paved the way, talks about building something that lasts, and keeps it honest about what success really looks like behind the scenes.With stories about culture, travel, generational differences, and the realities of being a grown man still learning life in real time, this episode delivers nonstop laughs while staying grounded in truth. It's funny, it's raw, it's reflective, and it perfectly captures what After Hours at The Underground Lounge is all about.
Imagine you open your computer, strike a few keys, and there's your spouse…who died three years ago – like my husband did. You aren't looking at a photo. Or a video. No. This is more like Zoom or Facetime. The image you see looks, acts, and moves just like your spouse. Sounds like your spouse, too. You stare in disbelief as the image smiles and says, "Honey, I've missed you." What's your gut reaction? An AI miracle? Or emotional whiplash? This past August, I received an email from a man who described a new AI platform he had created. He described the platform's ability to gather photos and voice recordings of someone who died and blend them with memories shared by the deceased person's family. He wanted to demonstrate his AI tool here, on this podcast. In his own words, "I'd be happy to demonstrate this live on your podcast, or even help you reconnect with someone from your own circle…" So if I were to use his platform, I could strike a few keys on my computer and my husband would appear on the screen…as though he were alive. Understand me clearly: I love fairy tales but I don't live in one. The creator claims that what his platform can provide is comforting. I find it cruel. In an effort to see this issue from another angle, I sought the opinions of friends, family, members of my dementia support group, members of my bereavement group, and health professionals, including nurses and a grief therapist. My opinion has not changed.
In this episode, Jill, Kelly, and Melissa ease into the new year together as they officially say goodbye to Christmas and reflect on what this season of life looks like now. They talk about the pressure of social media, “if you don't post it, did it even happen?” mentality, and why sometimes living in the moment matters more than sharing it.Even though their kids are grown, the moms laugh about how they're still very much needed—proved in real time when each of them gets FaceTime calls from their kids during the podcast. Melissa opens up about still struggling with the trauma of losing her dog, the complicated feelings of anger and grief that come with it.... all while debating whether she's ready to welcome another dog into her life.The conversation also turns reflective as the moms discuss confidence—whether they ever struggled with it themselves, and how it showed up for the girls on Dance Moms.

Belief in the afterlife had always been part of this family's life. Gentle signs. Quiet feelings. Nothing frightening. That changed when a mother began waking to loud, deliberate knocking on her bedroom door—always in the early morning hours. Each time she opened it, no one was there.The knocking returned again and again, and with it came unease. Around the same time, her young son became terrified of the dark, crying hysterically and insisting a stranger was coming to take him. The fear felt instinctive—urgent in a way she couldn't ignore.She cleansed the house. The activity stopped. Until months later.During a FaceTime call at work, her son casually asked why someone was standing behind her. Someone who wasn't there. Someone he insisted was mean. And someone he urgently warned her to get away from. #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedFamily #CreepyKids #RealGhostStories #ShadowPresence #ParanormalActivity #TrueHorror #Unexplained #ProtectiveInstincts Love real ghost stories?

LIVE UK TOUR: https://fg.live Faisal's away… so the FG lot took the mic. In this catch-up, Ibrahim, Kaya and Sulaiman talk Dubai coffee shop culture (including the "free booth for 2 hours" spot), what they're working on right now, and why "start now" beats waiting for New Year motivation. They also go deep on what's actually working on social media right now: raw FaceTime-style content, personality-first posting, and why people can smell "ChatGPT script energy" from a mile away. Plus: building a personal brand as your modern-day CV, getting serious about health without becoming a militant calorie counter, and why accountability is the missing ingredient for most people's goals. We wrap with quick, actionable next steps: post daily, track your numbers properly, and focus on doing more of what works, not just doing more.
What To Stop and Start Doing on Social Media in 2026 What is it going to take to finally get your social media reach and engagement back? This episode answers that exact question by revealing why your current strategy might be failing and what specific shifts you must make to thrive in the 2026 landscape. I am coming at you with news that might be hard to hear: if you are still doing social media like it is 2023, you are doing it wrong. You are wasting time and money on tactics that the algorithms no longer understand. In 2026, the landscape has shifted drastically because of AI, and if you are not evolving, you are invisible. I am breaking down exactly what is OUT. People want authenticity. They want to see your face, not just your logo. It is time to build momentum with authentic consistency so your clients can finally feel a real connection with you. In This Episode You'll Discover Why educational tip lists and infographics are no longer capturing attention. The truth about hashtags and why Instagram has limited you to just five. How to use "edutainment" to teach your audience while keeping them engaged. The power of keywords and social SEO over traditional discovery methods. Why unpolished, "FaceTime style" reels are winning in 2026. My "just press post" mindset to overcome perfectionism and build momentum. Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome and why 2023 social media tactics are dead. 03:42 – What is OUT: Boring educational posts and hashtag overload. 06:37 – Stop using over-polished graphics and "bait and switch" content. 12:24 – What is IN: Edutainment and leveraging Social SEO keywords. 18:00 – Why casual carousels and FaceTime style reels perform better. 22:22 – Adopting the "just press post" mindset and signature series. 24:47 – Your 2026 action plan for authentic consistency. Notable Quotes "If you're still doing social media like it's 2023, you're drastically doing it wrong." "Hashtags are out, SEO is in. Hashtags alone do nothing now for reach." "The more unpolished you are, the better. You will be rewarded for it." "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. The new game is momentum."

Transcript Welcome back to another episode of Bella in your business. Happy New Year. It is January 6th, 2026 at the drop of this episode. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and got to do everything that you wanted to or it was a big awakening and you realized some things need to change. And with some of that change might come your social media because I've got news for you today that's going to be a little hard to hear. If you're still doing social media like it's 2023, you're drastically doing it wrong. You are wasting your time and you are wasting money if you are paying someone who is doing your social media the same exact way that you were doing it in 2023. That also goes for all my previous better marketing with Bella clients where we were serving 40 companies a month and we were giving you lots of graphics. Today I'm gonna give you actual statistics straight from the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri. I am going to tell you what you need to stop doing and what you need to start doing. Things are changing. AI has literally changed the landscape of so many things drastically in 2025 and we're now in 2026. It's imperative that you understand the differences. How many of you have been focusing on Instagram or posting on Facebook and doing all the things that you've been told to do and your reach is like crickets? Your engagement's probably down. You're wondering why the algorithm hates your business.
We assume the internet is a resilient, always-on utility. But is it? Today, the principles that made the Internet an open, unified platform are under threat. Why? Simply put, because of a convergence of policy overreach and technical mandates that threaten to create a slow, expensive, and insecure “splinternet.” This threat is complicated by a push for “digital sovereignty”, as was most recently on display at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), where the core principles of openness, multi-stakeholder governance, and decentralization were challenged. How do we preserve the utility we all rely on from being choked, fragmented, and/or controlled? Join us for a conversation with Sally Wentworth, the President and CEO of the Internet Society (ISOC). Formerly the Assistant Director for Telecommunications and Information Policy at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and a leading voice in bridging the gap between technical experts and global policymakers.

Salmos 81:16“Los sustentaría Dios con lo mejor del trigo, y con miel de la peña los saciaría”.¿Dado el tamaño del cerebro, podría una abeja de miel reconocer un rostro humano? ¿Y si una abeja podría reconocer rostros humanos específicos, como podría un evolucionista explicar este tipo de habilidad?Los investigadores que estudian la abeja y la visión humana señalan que no habría ninguna presión evolucionista para que las abejas aprendan a reconocer personas específicas. La predicción científica sería por lo tanto que las abejas no reconocerían los rostros humanos. Para probar esta predicción los investigadores colocaron retratos de rostros humanos sobre los alimentadores de abejas. El mismo rostro humano siempre se encontraba sobre el alimentador que dispensaba una solución dulce. Una variedad de otros rostros fueron colocadas sobre dispensadores que dispensaban, digamos, quinina, una solución con sabor amargo. Las abejas rápidamente aprendieron a asociar un rostro humano en particular con la solución dulce. Inclusive cuando los investigadores mezclaron los alimentadores, las abejas rápidamente regresaban al alimentador con el rostro familiar. Luego removieron los alimentadores y dejaron sólo los retratos para que encuentren las abejas. Ochenta por ciento de las abejar todavía se enfocaron en el rostro que había estado en el alimentador de azúcar. La evolución esperaría resultados al azar, de ser así, los retratos de los rostros no tendrían ningún efecto.Sin embargo, se puede esperar de nuestro poderoso Creador que dio a estas abejas cualquier habilidad que Él quisiera. En este caso, aparentemente Él vio un buen propósito de otorgar a las abejas esta habilidad inesperada.Oración: Padre, Te agradezco por todos los buenos regalos que Tú nos das a través de Tu creación. Especialmente te agradezco por Tu salvación. Amén.Ref: Science News, S. Milius, “Face Time.” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1235/29?v=20251111
The warnings were there. According to the father of Anna Kepner's ex-boyfriend, Anna told people she didn't feel safe around her stepbrother. He says the 16-year-old was obsessed with her, that he carried a knife, and that Anna's ex-boyfriend once witnessed him climb on top of her while she slept during a FaceTime call. He says he tried to warn her parents. He says they dismissed him. Weeks later, Anna Kepner was dead — found under a bed on the Carnival Horizon cruise ship, strangled to death on a family vacation she never should have taken. Her stepbrother is now the FBI's primary suspect. His own parents have acknowledged it in court filings. But eight weeks after her death was ruled a homicide by mechanical asphyxiation, no charges have been filed. Newly released text messages between the suspect's parents show a family scrambling to control the narrative, not grieving the girl who died. A former detective called it damage control. Meanwhile, testimony from the December custody hearings has revealed prior incidents of physical restraint in the household — including a chokehold allegation from the suspect's own older brother. This is a case where the red flags were waving. Where people saw something and said something. And where the adults in charge chose not to act. Anna Kepner was eighteen. She wanted to serve her country. Instead, she's waiting for justice that still hasn't come. #AnnaKepner #CarnivalCruise #WarningSigns #TrueCrime #CruiseShipMurder #FBI #JusticeForAnna #CarnivalHorizon #FloridaCrime #TrueCrimeBreaking Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Most women think dating apps are the problem. They're wrong. In this episode, Amanda Carroll explains why waiting — not dating apps — is what quietly destroys your chances of finding a high-value partner. If you're telling yourself “I'll start dating in the new year”, you're about to miss the most powerful dating window of the entire year: cuffing season — the period between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day when people are more emotionally available, more reflective, and more open to real commitment. Amanda breaks down:Why women don't fail at dating — they miss the timingThe psychology behind cuffing season and why it changes male behaviorThe exact “Enter the Arena” play high-value women run when opportunity opensHow to set up a dating profile that attracts commitment (and repels clowns)Why waiting for “perfect conditions” keeps women single longerThis episode is for high-value women who are done waiting to be chosen — and ready to start choosing.

Waiting doesn't look reckless.It looks responsible. Mature. Sensible. And that's exactly why it's so dangerous.

Arrancamos el episodio analizando la reciente sentencia judicial en el conflicto entre Epic Games y Apple, donde se ha rechazado el recurso de la compañía de Cupertino respecto a las comisiones por enlaces externos. Debatimos sobre las implicaciones de esta decisión, que devuelve el caso a la jueza Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers para determinar costes justos, y reflexionamos sobre cómo esto podría forzar a Apple a replantear su modelo de negocio y distribución de software en la App Store, contrastando la situación estadounidense con la normativa europea actual.Continuamos comentando los movimientos internos en la cúpula directiva, destacando la confirmación de que Johny Srouji permanecerá en su puesto a pesar de los rumores que lo vinculaban con Intel, y especulamos sobre el futuro de Tim Cook y su posible sucesión de cara al 50 aniversario de la marca. Además, examinamos los sorprendentes informes que sugieren una posible colaboración futura con Intel para la fabricación de ciertos chips, una estrategia que interpretamos como un intento de diversificar la producción y reducir la dependencia exclusiva de TSMC ante los riesgos geopolíticos en Taiwán.Por último, repasamos las novedades en el apartado de servicios, incluyendo la integración de la Fórmula 1 en Apple TV para Estados Unidos y la expansión de Fitness+ a nuevos países utilizando doblaje generado por inteligencia artificial, lo cual nos lleva a debatir sobre la calidad de esta tecnología. Cerramos el capítulo hablando de los próximos estrenos en Apple TV+, como las nuevas temporadas de Severance y Hijack, y explicamos técnicamente por qué ciertos bloqueos gubernamentales a FaceTime resultan inviables sin afectar al sistema de notificaciones de iMessage.

Après le bannissement en 2022 de Facebook et d'Instagram, réseaux emblématiques du groupe Meta, les autorités russes renforcent leur emprise sur les espaces de l'internet et des applications étrangères. Depuis cet été, les appels via WhatsApp, FaceTime et Telegram sont bloqués, au nom de la lutte contre le fléau des fraudeurs. D'autres coupures et interdictions sont, quant à elles, justifiées au nom de la sécurité nationale, et notamment les attaques de drones. « Désolé de ne pas avoir donné signe de vie, mon téléphone s'est soudainement éteint et l'écran est devenu tout noir. Je ne comprends pas ce qu'il s'est passé. » Casquette sur la tête, bouille bienveillante et souriante, Nicolas Maschourov arrive tout essoufflé et un poil en retard au rendez-vous sur une place du centre de Yaroslavl, face à l'un des monastères les plus célèbres de cette ville au riche passé historique. Au fond, ce mystérieux incident du jour n'est pour lui qu'un de ceux qui s'ajoutent à une longue liste, tant la vie quotidienne est déjà bien compliquée localement. Dans cette ville-étape incontournable pour les touristes, cela fait en effet de longs mois que les liaisons téléphoniques et internet sont perturbées. Yaroslavl est en effet aussi une ville industrielle importante, ce qui fait d'elle une cible dans le conflit avec l'Ukraine. « On a ici une raffinerie très importante, elle fournit du pétrole à de nombreuses régions de l'Ouest du pays, explique Nicolas Maschourov. À l'heure actuelle, les règles y sont très strictes à l'intérieur, car il y a un risque de sabotage. Lorsque vous entrez dans l'usine, vous n'êtes même pas autorisé à prendre votre téléphone, vous devez le laisser dans votre voiture. Et si jamais vous avez oublié et qu'il est resté dans votre poche, l'amende que vous encourez atteint 30 000 roubles. Si on vous attrape une deuxième fois avec, vous êtes viré. Tout ça, c'est parce que cette raffinerie est périodiquement attaquée par des drones. Heureusement, jusque-là, les attaques ne se sont produites que vers 5 ou 6 heures du matin, lorsque les travailleurs n'étaient pas là. Mais la situation là-bas est quand même assez tendue. L'Internet mobile y est généralement désactivé. » Ce vendredi 12 décembre, selon les médias locaux, une attaque contre la raffinerie a été à l'origine d'un incendie. Une partie des routes y menant ont été fermées, causant des bouchons de plusieurs kilomètres. Mais le plus fréquent pour parer aux attaques reste de couper le réseau. « L'Internet mobile dans toute la ville est de toute façon souvent en mauvais état désormais, avance le professeur d'histoire et guide touristique. De temps en temps, c'est même totalement coupé ». À lire aussiRussie: le contrôle étatique de l'expression publique sur les réseaux sociaux s'accélère « J'ai envie de hurler tellement je suis furieux et tellement je trouve ça injuste. » Première conséquence : impossible d'utiliser la géolocalisation, très répandue en Russie. Mais d'autres usages sont désormais limités. Dans sa cuisine, avec sa bouilloire qui siffle sur le gaz pour chauffer l'eau du thé, Andrey Akimov explique qu'il aimerait pouvoir publier à sa guise sur les réseaux sociaux. « Je gère plusieurs chaînes Telegram, explique cet avocat et secrétaire d'un petit parti, qui tente d'être officiellement enregistré par les autorités. J'y poste diverses choses, et tout est légal et officiel. Mais parfois c'est impossible à faire. J'essaie une fois, deux fois. Puis je me dis : “Ok, je réessaie dans 10 minutes", et c'est peut-être à ce moment-là que j'ai un ressenti de 5% d'inconfort. Je réessaie trois- quatre fois. Et si, à la cinquième tentative, une demi-heure plus tard, je ne peux toujours pas publier, je commence à ressentir de l'anxiété et de la colère. À ce moment-là, bien sûr, mon inconfort est à 100%. J'ai envie de hurler tellement je suis furieux et tellement je trouve ça injuste ». Pour lui, les exigences sécuritaires d'un pays en conflit ne sont pas les seuls motifs à ces restrictions de plus en plus importantes. Avec prudence et des mots très pesés, il avance : « Je vais dire les choses de cette façon : je comprends un peu la stratégie des autorités. Il y a une tendance à réduire les libertés, à contrôler les ressources Internet. Mais c'est beaucoup plus facile de le faire si on procède progressivement, pas à pas, en supprimant une partie des droits et libertés des citoyens petit à petit, de telle sorte que l'indignation soit étalée dans le temps et qu'il n'y ait pas de pic soudain ». Depuis cet été, les autorités ont mis en place une messagerie nationale, Max, et tentent de convaincre les citoyens d'y migrer, la présentant comme plus sûre. Les critiques avancent qu'il s'agit d'une stratégie visant à surveiller les contenus, car Max est présentée comme totalement transparente pour les services de sécurité. Entre blocage des messageries étrangères et coupures de l'internet, de plus en plus de Russes vivent depuis plusieurs mois à l'heure des restrictions de communication. À lire aussiVers un «goulag numérique»: comment la Russie développe le contrôle et la surveillance de ses citoyens Yaroslavl est très loin d'être la seule ville touchée. Aux derniers décomptes effectués mi-décembre, une quarantaine de régions sur les 89 que compte la Russie ont souffert depuis le printemps d'incidents de types variés. Toutes les régions frontalières ou proches de la zone de combat sont plus ou moins touchées, de Rostov à Koursk et Voronej, ainsi que des villes de garnison comme Pskov ou des régions abritant d'importantes usines du complexe militaro-industriel comme celle de Sverdlovsk. D'autres villes et régions à des milliers de kilomètres à l'est ont aussi enregistré des plaintes d'usagers au sujet de très longues coupures : en Sibérie, à Omsk ou en Yakoutie, jusqu'à Khabarovsk, le Kamchatka et Sakhaline dans l'Extrême-Orient. Même Saint-Pétersbourg, deuxième ville du pays, a été le théâtre de deux jours consécutifs de perturbations. À Moscou, depuis mai dernier, des pannes régulières mais courtes sont observées. Comme à Yaroslavl, les autorités régionales expliquent en général ces coupures comme des « mesures de sécurité visant à se protéger contre les attaques de drones ». Selon le groupe de travail du kraï de Krasnodar, « un adversaire peut utiliser l'internet mobile à haut débit pour contrôler des drones et perpétrer des attentats terroristes ». Ces restrictions sont imposées dès réception d'un signal de « menace drone » et sont techniquement temporaires. Wikipedia.ru a fait ce décompte : 69 coupures avaient déjà été enregistrées en mai, mais en juin, ce nombre était passé à 655, et en juillet, il a atteint le chiffre record de 2 099 coupures à travers le pays. Ce chiffre a dépassé le total mondial des blocages d'internet pour toute l'année 2024 (296 incidents dans 54 pays), faisant de la Russie le pays le plus touché par les pannes de communications numériques. « Notre pays est en état de guerre, [...] nous ne pouvons pas revendiquer les libertés que nous avions auparavant. » À quelques kilomètres de Moscou, la ville de Balachika est une zone connue pour abriter notamment une importante base de l'armée russe. Une tradition ancienne : sous l'Union soviétique, la ville était d'ailleurs interdite aux étrangers. Zina, 42 ans, m'accueille dans la cour en bas de son immeuble, dans cette ville où elle a déménagé il y a trois ans « pour la nature et la vue sur le canal ». Pour elle, toutes les mesures de restrictions prises pour internet sont justifiées, y compris cette autre, récente, qui bloque l'usage des cartes SIM, russes comme étrangères, pendant 24 heures à tout retour de l'étranger. « Je comprends très bien qu'une carte SIM pourrait soudainement ne plus être entre les mains de son propriétaire officiel. Elle pourrait être volée, avec le téléphone ou pas d'ailleurs. Et cette carte SIM pourrait être utilisée par d'autres personnes à leurs propres fins. Moi, je compare cette décision à la quarantaine temporaire obligatoire pendant le Covid-19 ou à l'usage des masques. On peut quand même trouver le moyen de s'organiser et préparer un retour de vacances. Je comprends que des gens soient très énervés, mais notre pays est en état de guerre, alors pour moi, c'est évident, nous ne pouvons pas revendiquer les libertés que nous avions auparavant », affirme-t-elle. Pour elle, le vrai problème, qui la concerne de près, est ailleurs. « Je vais vous dire qui traverse, à cause de tout ça, de vraies difficultés, avance-t-elle. Ce sont ceux qui ne gagnaient leur vie que grâce au blogging, en vendant des publicités, par exemple, ou en monétisant leurs publications. C'est vrai, il existe des plateformes alternatives à celles qu'on avait avant, mais avec celles-là, on ne peut pas gagner autant d'argent. Elles sont mal conçues. Et cela a un impact sur toutes ces personnes, tous ces entrepreneurs, qui pendant de nombreuses années ont construit un système de diffusion en continu, produisaient du contenu. En fait, chaque blogueur avait en quelque sorte créé sa propre petite agence. C'est un système qui s'est effondré ». Sans Instagram, classé extrémiste en Russie, et avec l'interdiction depuis cet automne d'y faire de la publicité, Internet qui rame est le dernier clou dans le cercueil de son activité professionnelle de bloggeuse-coiffure. Sur un an, Zina chiffre sa perte de revenu à 80%. À lire aussiLa Russie resserre encore son contrôle sur internet
A Matter of Heart #RTTBROS #Nightlight"For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ." — Colossians 2:5You know, we live in a world where we expect instant everything. FaceTime someone across the planet, watch news unfold in real time, send a text and get annoyed if there's no response in thirty seconds. We've gotten spoiled.But when Paul was writing his letters to the churches, it could take weeks, even months, for those words to reach their destination. Here's a story that drives this home: Andrew Jackson fought the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815, a victory that made him a national hero. The thing is, that battle was fought two full weeks after the peace treaty ending the War of 1812 had already been signed in Europe. The news just hadn't reached him yet.But here's what gets me about Paul. Despite all those delays, despite never even visiting the church at Colosse, his heart was completely invested in those people. He's with them in spirit, rejoicing over their faith, praying for folks he's never met face to face.That tells me something important. The depth of our love for people isn't measured by how close we are physically. It's a matter of the heart.Paul says in Philippians, "For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state" (Philippians 2:20). He's talking about Timothy, a young man who genuinely cared about people from the heart.What makes someone effective for God isn't their talent or their gifts. It's their heart. Do they genuinely care about people? I think about folks in my own life who've made the biggest difference. It wasn't the most talented or the most gifted. It was the ones who cared, who checked in, who prayed when I didn't even know I needed prayer.That's what God is looking for. Not the most talented people, but people with hearts that care, hearts willing to be invested in others even when it costs something.So who has God put on your heart lately? Don't ignore that. That might be the Holy Spirit prompting you to pray, to reach out, to care. We can be physically distant but spiritually close. And that kind of caring, that's what changes the world.Let's pray: Father, give us hearts that genuinely care about people. Help us invest in lives because we want to. Make us people who naturally care for others. In Jesus' name, Amen.#Faith #Love #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #Caring #BiblicalWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #NightlightBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros
If you enjoyed part 1 of my chat with Marion McKeown, you're going to LOVE part 2. This time we get stuck into some of the key characters in the crazy story that is the USA today – characters like Robert F Kennedy junior, the anti-vax US health secretary with a worm in his brain; Olivia Nuzzi, the machiavellian journalist that had an affair with RFK Jnr, the late Jeffrey Epstein who is having a major impact on US politics even several years after his death; Pete Hegseth, Howard Lutnick...the list goes on. We also ask some important questions, like really how intelligent is Donald trump ? Did a bullet actually hit his ear in the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania? And did Jeffrey Epstein really take his own life, or was he killed?Marion has been covering US politics and culture for decades – she's been all over the country, attended scores of MAGA rallies, been in the white House press group, and met all the big players.COMEDY - its the Fine Gael and Fianna Fail joint Christmas party!

Rita Malvone did — but only after it nearly burned her out as a leader, a human, and as someone trying to make sense of a career that never quite felt like hers.In this episode, Rita and I unpack the quiet misery of high-performing corporate people: the ones who smile on Zoom, hit the metrics, answer Slacks at 11 p.m.… and privately wonder why they feel so damn empty.Rita's story starts in China, leading a young team while simultaneously building an entire Asia-Pacific presence from scratch. On paper? Impressive.In reality? A slow emotional suffocation disguised as “success.”She talks openly about being a bad leader — not out of incompetence, but because she was deeply unhappy. The FaceTime culture, the politicking, the performative grind, the “be grateful you even have this job” mindset… all of it slowly turned her into someone she didn't like.When the company finally told her she was 47th in line for a promotion, she snapped the trap in half.Leaving wasn't graceful. It wasn't strategic.It was survival.And looking back, Rita realized something hard but beautiful:You can't become the leader you want to be inside a system that requires you to betray yourself.We dig into the aftermath of walking away, the shock of rediscovering joy, the messy years of rebuilding, and how real leadership is less “motivational poster” and more “doing the hard, human, unglamorous work.”We talk about why suffering gives leaders their edge, why authenticity can't be faked, and why corporate life fails people who don't fit the mold — no matter how capable they are.This isn't a rage story.It's a liberation story.No villains. No corporate-hate screeds. Just an honest look at the moment you realize your career is using you more than you're using it — and what happens when you finally walk out.TL;DR* The trap: A prestigious career that looks like success and feels like misery.* The break point: Being told she was “#47 in line for a promotion.”* The turn: Leaving corporate, owning how unhappy she truly was, and rebuilding a life that isn't powered by performance, FaceTime, or pretending.* The lesson: You can't lead well while losing yourself.Memorable Lines* “I wasn't a bad leader. I was an unhappy human pretending to be a leader.”* “We were building the seats as we were sitting in them.”* “You can't sugarcoat how miserable you are and still expect to lead well.”* “Once I stepped out, I finally saw the cage I had been sitting in.”GuestRita Malvone — Leadership coach, former corporate executive in China, and someone who rebuilt her life after discovering her ‘career' was a beautifully decorated cage.

The crew returns from the holiday break with a full plate of stories, starting with Thanksgiving hangovers and Aaron's crockpot rebuttal that finally closes the loop from the last episode. The team moves into this week's Do Better, covering everything from the need for a computer access POAM for CMCs to Damon's latest run-in with the high-school system. They break down a recent article on the USS Truman and the importance of realistic observations in after-action reports before Damo steps in to double down on the FaceTime conversation. The guys discuss what it is, what it isn't, and why some people get it all the way wrong. From there, the crew shifts into real life: friendships as adults, Damo gives his thoughts on ‘The Bump Serum', and they discuss how the Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros. could change the entire streaming landscape. They close the first half of the show by comparing their Apple and Spotify Wrapped lists and debating who really had the top artists of the year. Damo wraps with his Pick of the Week before the episode transitions into a deeper, more personal segment—Damon sitting down to interview Damo in one of the most honest conversations the show has ever had. These and more topics are covered in this episode. Do you have a “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

The day before Thanksgiving, we hit pause together for a short "FaceTime-style" heart-to-heart. Whether you're bracing for tricky family dynamics or you're the holiday superfan, this mini-episode gives you a simple, grace-filled plan to enter the day grounded, intentional, and at peace—without pretending or performing. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." — Proverbs 3:5–6 What We Talk About Two honest camps we tend to fall into for Thanksgiving (dreaded & pressured vs. excited & overamped) — and how intention bridges both. The 2023 burnout story that led to boundaries, fewer yeses, and clearer expectations. A 5–10 minute grounding ritual you can do today (journal-optional) to shape tomorrow. Why your presence > performance — and how to carry peace into complicated rooms. Gratitude as an anchor, not a performance — practical ways to spot "small gifts." Navigating family roles, old wounds, and people-pleasing without losing your growth. "Touch grass" breaks and mini-Sabbaths that reset your nervous system mid-chaos. Scripture Anchors Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust > understanding; acknowledge > control. 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 — "Rejoice… pray… give thanks… for this is God's will." Philippians 4:6–7 — Prayer + thanksgiving → peace that guards your heart. Colossians 3:15 — "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… and be thankful." The 5–10 Minute "Pre-Game" (Do this today) Name it honestly. Write how you actually feel about tomorrow (the good, the hard, the mixed). No bypassing. Three clarifying questions: What do I want to carry into tomorrow? What do I need to leave behind? What kind of presence do I want to bring? (peace, presence, wholeness, gentleness, curiosity, simplicity) Gratitude that isn't performative. List 3–5 specifics: Where has God sustained me lately? What tiny gift have I been overlooking? Where can I choose wonder over worry today? Pray it in. "Jesus, I acknowledge You here. Set my pace. Guard my tone. Keep me rooted." "Be still, and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10 Day-Of Rhythm (Quick Guide) Before you step in: step outside, touch grass, breathe, pray a verse (Prov. 3:5–6). Alarms as mini-Sabbaths: try 11:45 / 2:30 / 6:00 — step out, breathe, reset. Protect your growth: You can show up as who you are now, not who you used to be or who they expect. Boundaries are love: You're not responsible for others' perceptions; you are responsible for your presence. Gentle Prompts for the Table (or your journal) Where did I see a small mercy today? What pressure can I lower by 20% without harming the moment? If peace walked into this room, what would it sound like from me?
