Ryan Hawk arrived at Miami University the day after high school graduation, with a plan to earn the starting quarterback job and make it to the NFL. Two years later, a 6'5" kid from somewhere in Ohio showed up and took the job away from him. That kid turned out to be Ben Roethlisberger. What Ryan did with that moment became the entire foundation of The Learning Leader podcast, one of the most respected leadership shows in the country, and his new book The Price of Becoming. He joins Joe and OG to talk about the habits, frameworks, and daily actions that compound into something exceptional -- and what to do when the plan doesn't survive contact with reality.What You'll Walk Away WithCoach Hepp's three-sentence leadership philosophy that Ryan has never forgotten: have a plan, work the plan, and plan for the unexpectedWhy being told "he gives us a better chance to win than you do" was the most valuable coaching Ryan ever received -- and what it teaches about adding value versus wanting creditThe imitate-then-innovate framework: why The Beatles were a cover band first, why Wayne Gretzky took handwritten notes watching players smaller than himself, and why copying the greats isn't theft -- it's the fastest path to finding your own voiceRyan's first draft pick for becoming exceptional: a five-to-ten minute nightly prompt exercise built around one Charlie Munger question that compounds like a great investmentWhy truth tellers -- people willing to look you in the eye and tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear -- are the most underrated asset in any high performer's lifeThe superpower Ryan has found in every great leader he's interviewed across 11 years and hundreds of conversations: deep, specific curiosity -- and why it's the ultimate form of showing loveSweat more than you watch other people sweat: Scott Galloway's physical discipline framework applied to every area of lifeThe Brock Purdy late-round pick: why bringing a notebook to every meeting -- something almost no intern or young employee does -- is the single easiest way to stand out and learn fasterThe boomerang kids debate: why nearly half of Americans under 30 now live with a parent, when OG thinks it's a great idea, when he thinks you suck, and why it only works if there's a real plan with a real end dateJames from the community: how retiring at 52 let him become his daughter's bank in a hot real estate market -- loan document, market rate, free labor but zero say in the houseWhy This Matters NowThe gap between people who become exceptional and people who almost do isn't talent -- it's the daily actions they're willing to stack. This episode is the practical blueprint for what those actions actually look like.From the BasementRyan Hawk joins Joe and OG to talk about getting benched, the imitate-then-innovate path from cover band to original voice, and the five draft picks that build a great life -- including one that Joe immediately connects to hiding money from himself. The Wall Street Journal's piece on boomerang kids gives OG a platform to explain exactly when it's smart, when it's lazy, and why his kids should not take this as an invitation. Doug arrives with Cleveland trivia and the story of how a newspaper's cheap typesetting permanently changed the name of a major American city. James from the community sends a letter that makes OG quietly admit he was wrong about the appraisal.Resources MentionedThe Price of Becoming: The Compounding Practices of High Performance by Ryan Hawk -- available wherever books are soldThe Learning Leader podcast -- Ryan Hawk; available wherever you listen to podcasts; learningleader.comSteal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon -- referenced for the imitate-then-innovate frameworkSet for Life by Scott Trench -- referenced for Joe's kids; biggerpockets.comBroke Millennial by Erin Lowry -- referenced for Joe's kids; brokemillennial.comWall Street Journal -- "Living With Your Parents Is No Longer Viewed as a Failure to Launch" by Rebecca Picciotto and Nicholas G.

Democratic socialism is gaining influence across America, but how did it move from the political fringe into the mainstream? Professor Jeffrey Lax joins The P.A.S. Report to expose the forces driving the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), anti-Americanism, and the growing battle over America's future. As the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) expand their influence and New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani reshapes the political conversation, many Americans are asking how these ideas gained so much traction. CUNY Professor Jeffrey Lax joins Professor Nick Giordano for an in-depth discussion on the transformation of higher education, immigration, assimilation, constitutional government, and why many political leaders continue to underestimate this growing movement. From the collapse of economic literacy in the education system and the debate over capitalism versus socialism to the spread of anti-American ideology, this episode examines the cultural, political, and institutional changes fueling one of the most consequential political shifts affecting America's future. The conversation also explores the growing influence of the DSA, the constitutional challenges facing the United States, and why civic education remains essential to preserving a free society. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Progressive Mainstream: How democratic socialism moved from a fringe movement into America's political institutions. The DSA's Growing Influence: Why the Democratic Socialists of America continue expanding their footprint in major American cities. The Failure of Education: How higher education, faculty unions, and declining civic education shape modern political ideology and weaken economic literacy. Immigration, Assimilation & National Identity: Why immigration policy, cultural assimilation, and national identity remain central to America's future. Defending the Constitution: Why capitalism, constitutional government, and civic education remain essential to preserving American liberty. Topics Covered: Democratic Socialism, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Zohran Mamdani, Jeffrey Lax, CUNY Professor, Socialism vs Capitalism, Higher Education, Civic Education, US Constitution, Anti-Americanism, Immigration, Assimilation, Ro Khanna, Israel, Iron Dome, Economic Literacy, Faculty Unions

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Mujahid Muhammad. I Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to demystify personal finance, redefine wealth‑building, and emphasize the importance of preparation, capitalization, and disciplined planning. Mujahid Muhammad, a personal financial coach and founder of Wealth Coaching Stratosphere, shares a deeply personal journey marked by financial success, failure, rebuilding, and hard‑earned wisdom. Through candid storytelling, the interview reframes wealth not as risky speculation or quick wins, but as a long‑term process grounded in personal financial stability, liquidity, and informed decision‑making. The conversation is designed to help everyday people avoid common financial traps and approach real estate and investing from a position of strength rather than desperation. Major Themes & Key Takeaways 1. Experience Is the Best Teacher Mujahid’s financial philosophy is rooted in lived experience. After building a seven‑figure real estate portfolio early in life, he suffered devastating losses due to Hurricane Katrina and the 2008 housing collapse. These setbacks reshaped his understanding of leverage, risk, and preparation. Key takeaway: Financial success without safeguards can collapse quickly. 2. Leverage Without Liquidity Is Dangerous One of the most powerful lessons Mujahid shares is that being “asset‑rich but cash‑poor” is a vulnerable position. His earlier strategy relied heavily on leverage without sufficient reserves, leaving him exposed when disaster struck. Key takeaway: Liquidity is protection; leverage alone is not wealth. 3. Fix Personal Finance Before Building Businesses Mujahid stresses that many people pursue entrepreneurship or real estate in hopes of fixing personal financial struggles—often with disastrous results. Instead, personal financial stability must come first. Key takeaway: Solve your personal finances before using business to create wealth. 4. Wealth Is a Process, Not a Product The interview reinforces that financial improvement isn’t something you buy—it’s something you build over time. Mujahid emphasizes facing financial reality honestly instead of avoiding uncomfortable truths. Key takeaway: Progress starts by looking at the numbers, not ignoring them. 5. The Five Financial Stratospheres Mujahid introduces his Wealth Coaching Stratosphere model, outlining five levels of financial development: Financial Failure Financial Health Financial Fluency Financial Wealth Financial Independence Each stage represents a mindset and requires different behaviors and priorities. Key takeaway: Knowing your financial “stratosphere” determines your next move. 6. Capitalization Comes Before Real Estate Mujahid advises against entering real estate before reaching financial fluency. While creative financing exists, retaining real estate requires cash flow, reserves, and patience. Key takeaway: You can buy property with little money—but you cannot keep it that way. 7. The Importance of Capital and Opportunity Funds He emphasizes saving, emergency funds, and opportunity funds as prerequisites to investing. Capital allows individuals to recognize and act on opportunities without panic. Key takeaway: Capital creates clarity—and choices. 8. Infinite Banking and Financial Autonomy Mujahid explains the Infinite Banking Concept, which focuses on reclaiming control over the banking function through properly structured life insurance, allowing individuals to access capital without relying on traditional lenders. Key takeaway: Financial independence includes controlling how you access capital. 9. Debt Freedom Is Hard—but Worth It Through personal stories of tackling significant student loan and consumer debt, Mujahid emphasizes that debt freedom requires sacrifice, time, and unity—especially within marriage. Key takeaway: Debt freedom is attainable, but only through commitment and discipline. 10. Coaching Provides Accountability and Perspective Mujahid describes financial coaching as objective guidance from someone who has navigated the journey before. Coaching is positioned as a serious commitment, not casual advice. Key takeaway: Accountability accelerates growth. Notable Quotes “Leverage without liquidity is stupidity.” “We try to use business to solve personal finance problems—and that’s backwards.” “Wealth is a process, not a product.” “You can acquire real estate with no money—but you can’t keep it that way.” “Capitalization changes how you see opportunity.” “If you have a six‑figure income, your problem is usually you.” “Debt freedom is hard—but it’s worth it.” “Preparation puts you in a position of strength.” Overall Message Mujahid Muhammad’s interview is a ground‑truth masterclass in financial realism and discipline. His story strips away hype and reframes wealth creation as a methodical, values‑driven process that begins with personal accountability and preparation. Ultimately, the conversation challenges listeners to shift from chasing opportunity to becoming prepared for opportunity, reinforcing that sustainable wealth is built through patience, liquidity, education, and intentional planning. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most men aren't emotionally unavailable because they don't care. They're emotionally unavailable because they were never taught how to process emotion, navigate intimacy, or move through the transition from boyhood to manhood.

In this episode, Ken continues to unpack the wisdom of Edwin Friedman in his book "A Failure of Nerve." This week he shared Friedman's list of ten characteristics of less-mature and troublesome people – who, Ken notes, always expect others to adapt to them rather than the other way around. Just to share a couple here, one of these characteristics is that these people "tend to idolize their leaders until their unrealistic expectations fail, then they are quick to attack and crucify those they once idolized." They also "have a total lack of ability to tolerate differences or dissent. All things are black/white, either/or, right/wrong." While sharing these tremendously insightful observations, Ken challenged the group to ask ourselves whether we might have a tendency toward any of these behaviors and whether we could be behaving in a way that is reacting out of anxiety.This episode was recorded on July 17th, 2026.

为什么你说 “failure” 老外听不懂?因为 “-ure” 读错了!不少同学看到 “failure” 这个单词,总觉得结尾绕来绕去不知道怎么读,要么把 “-ure” 读成 “油儿”,要么直接吞掉卷舌音。今天卡卡老师带你一次搞定这个单词的地道发音,顺便把英式和美式的区别讲得明明白白!failure/ˈfeɪljə(r)/n. 失败;失败者;未做;未履行;故障发音时需注意:1.双元音 /eɪ/ 要饱满,从 /e/ 滑向 /ɪ/,口型由半开到扁平,不能读成短促的 /e/;2.英式发音的音节划分为fai+lure,没有儿化音3.美式发音的音节划分为fail+ure,有儿化音例句:Failure is the mother of success.失败是成功之母。Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of success.失败不是成功的反面,而是成功的一部分。原声再现:Because it's not failure itself that constrains us.因为不是失败本身束缚了我们。After several failures, she finally entered Parliament in 1959.经历了几次失败之后,她最终于1959年跻身国会议员之列。 更多卡卡老师分享公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu002送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包,帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路

This is a bold statement but I fully believe it. The speed at which you recover from life's setbacks has a bigger impact on your future than almost anything else. Examples … Someone says something super rude. Or you get disappointing news. Or you make a big mistake you're so bummed about. The event lasts a few minutes... but for so many people, the emotional impact lasts for days or longer! I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I think one of the greatest skills you can develop isn't avoiding difficult moments... It's learning how to recover from them faster. Imagine two people. The exact same upsetting thing happens to both of them. Person A needs seven days to recover. Person B needs seven minutes. Now imagine that happens hundreds of times over the course of a lifetime. Who builds the better life? Today we're talking about one of the most valuable life skills you can develop... How To Be Awesome At Resetting Fast. Because you can't always control what happens to you... But you can absolutely control how long you let it affect you. Stop Measuring Failure... Start Measuring Recovery Time Alex Hormozi talks often about speed. Speed of decisions. Speed of learning. Speed of action. But one thing he demonstrates over and over is speed of recovery. He doesn't pretend successful people avoid problems. He believes they simply spend less time emotionally attached to them. Ask yourself: How long do I stay upset? 10 minutes? 10 hours? 10 days? The longer recovery takes... the more expensive every setback becomes. Great performers compress recovery time. Build Reset Rituals Successful people don't rely on motivation. They have reset systems. Examples: "I had a bad meeting." → Walk outside. "I argued with someone." → Journal. "I skipped my workout." → Schedule tomorrow before bed. "I feel overwhelmed." → Brain dump. The faster your ritual... the faster your recovery. I've been through harder. This is not the worst thing that's ever happened to you. Identity Doesn't Change Because Of One Decision Or Situation Mark Manson talks about identity being built through repeated behaviors rather than dramatic declarations. Environment and consistent actions matter more than forcing yourself through shame. One bad decision doesn't erase years of good ones. One great workout doesn't make you healthy. It's averages. The stock market doesn't go straight up. Neither do you. Hormozi's Philosophy Alex Hormozi says something along these lines all the time: You don't become exceptional by avoiding hard things. You become exceptional because hard things stop surprising you. Your response becomes automatic. Problem? Solve. Mistake? Adjust. Failure? Learn. Move. No drama. Just data. The Compound Effect Of Fast Resets Imagine two people. Both make 200 mistakes this year. Person A Needs seven days to recover. Person B Needs seven minutes. Who wins? Not because they're smarter. Not because they're more talented. Simply because they spend dramatically more days moving forward. That difference compounds over years. Challenge For the next 30 days... Stop trying to be perfect. Instead... Become obsessed with shortening your reset time. Miss your workout? Reset tomorrow. Bad conversation? Don't carry it into the evening. Eat poorly? Next meal. Made a bad decision? Learn. Adjust. Move. Your goal isn't to eliminate mistakes. It's to become someone who never stays down for very long. Because life will keep knocking you off course. The people who build extraordinary lives aren't the ones who never fall... They're the ones who become world-class at getting back up. If you remember one thing from today's episode, let it be this: One bad moment should never become a bad day. One bad day should never become a bad week. One bad week should never become a bad year. Your greatest superpower isn't avoiding setbacks... It's refusing to live there. Reset. Refocus. Take the very next right step. That's how extraordinary lives are built... one fast reset at a time.
If your breakup has left you questioning your own judgment, wondering how you could have loved someone who ultimately left, betrayed you, or wasn't right for you, this episode is for you. One of the most painful parts of heartbreak isn't just losing the relationship, it's starting to believe the relationship failed because you failed. That belief quietly chips away at your confidence, making it harder to trust yourself in dating, relationships, and even other areas of your life. In this episode, I share three questions I use with my coaching clients to help separate your identity from the outcome of the relationship, rebuild self-trust, and stop using your breakup as evidence that something is wrong with you. If you've been stuck thinking, "How can I trust myself after this?" this conversation will give you a completely different way to look at what happened and show you the first step toward believing in yourself again.

IVF stimulation doesn't create egg quality. It reveals it. Most people think an IVF cycle starts on day one of stimulation. Biologically, that's already too late. You were told the protocol would be adjusted. Maybe the dose went up. Maybe they switched you to a different one entirely. And the result was the same, or close enough that nobody could explain the difference. Somewhere in it, you started wondering whether the cycle was ever really the variable. The follicles recruited in your cycle have been developing for weeks to months. They reflect the metabolic and inflammatory conditions that were present during that window. Stimulation doesn't override those conditions. It asks the system to perform under them. The same applies to sperm. His semen analysis came back normal, he got a high five from the REI, and nobody looked at DNA integrity or fragmentation. In this episode, I walk through three patterns we see with clients and why repeating a cycle without reassessing readiness often produces the same result. CHAPTERS 00:00 Why the cycle was decided before day one 01:00 Pattern one: egg and sperm quality are set before stimulation begins 02:00 The sperm side nobody looked at, and why stimulation amplifies what is already there 03:00 Pattern two: why pre-IVF prep fails when it is just supplements and timelines 04:00 Blood sugar, gut and immune signaling, and stress physiology 05:00 Pattern three: preparing for IVF versus auditing whether you are ready 06:00 The hierarchy, and whether now is the time to push the system 07:00 The reframe: clarity protects your time, energy, and biology EMBRYO AUDIT CHECKLIST If you're preparing for IVF or considering another cycle, the free Embryo Audit Checklist walks through the key systems that influence egg quality, embryo development, and implantation, so you can have a more informed conversation before moving forward.

When construction abruptly stopped at the former Pfizer headquarters redevelopment in Midtown Manhattan after workers discovered buckled steel columns and floor sagging, public attention quickly turned to one question: What happened? But before investigators can determine why a structural failure occurred, engineers must answer a different question: How do they stabilize a damaged building and safely determine what went wrong? In this special edition of the ENR Critical Path Podcast, host Bryan Gottlieb speaks with Christopher Raebel, vice president of engineering and research at the American Institute of Steel Construction, about the engineering response to structural emergencies. Rather than speculate about the ongoing investigation, Raebel explains how engineers assess structural damage, stabilize compromised buildings, investigate potential causes and determine whether damaged structures can be repaired. Whether you're an engineer, contractor or simply curious about how complex structural emergencies are managed, this conversation offers an inside look at the process that begins long before investigators reach their conclusions.
Charles Spicer describes how, during the 1937 coronation of George VI, Ribbentrop hosted a chaotic, overcrowded party at the German embassy. Despite the champagne-fueled festivities, the event was a social failure that highlighted the growing friction between the two cultures. Meanwhile, Vansittart realized the traditional intelligence services had poor access to the Nazi leadership. He established a parallel network—"Van's Detective Agency"—utilizing Christie and Conwell-Evans as private intelligence sources. Conwell-Evans, previously optimistic, underwent a total volte-face in 1937, bravely shifting his focus to gathering intelligence through his high-level German networks to warn the Britishgovernment.

God's Grace Is Greater Than Our FailureRomans 11:11–12Failure is never the end of the story with God. In Romans 11:11–12, we were reminded that God never wastes a failure. Israel's unbelief opened the door for the Gentiles to hear the gospel, demonstrating that God can accomplish His purposes even through human disobedience—without ever approving of it. God keeps His promises, and He is never finished with those who have rejected Him.As followers of Christ, our lives should reflect the joy, hope, and blessing of knowing Jesus, drawing others to desire Him. Through faith in Christ, we become part of God's covenant family, and we look forward to the day when God's promises are fully fulfilled.The greatest example of God bringing victory from what looked like defeat is the cross. What appeared to be the darkest moment in history became the means of salvation for the world. God's grace truly is greater than our failure.Key Takeaways:God never wastes a failure.God keeps His promises even when people fail.Our lives should point others to Jesus.God's greatest blessings often come through what appears to be defeat.

Kit Chellel is an investigative journalist, Bloomberg Businessweek writer, and author of Lucky Devils. After uncovering a hidden world of elite professional gamblers who consistently beat casinos, sportsbooks, and betting markets, Kit spent years researching how these "advantage players" think—and discovered their mindset has applications far beyond gambling. In this episode, he shares the surprising parallels between betting, investing, entrepreneurship, and decision-making under uncertainty. On this episode we talk about: How elite advantage gamblers consistently profit from betting markets Why gambling, investing, and entrepreneurship all rely on finding an edge The surprising history of computer-driven sports betting and advantage play How AI is transforming sports betting and predictive markets Lessons entrepreneurs can learn about risk management, probability, and making better decisions Top 3 Takeaways The world's best gamblers don't rely on luck—they rely on data, probability, discipline, and finding small edges that compound over time. Thinking in probabilities instead of certainties leads to better business, investing, and career decisions. Rather than betting everything on one opportunity, consistently making many well-calculated bets increases your chances of long-term success. Notable Quotes "They're not like normal gamblers. They're much more like sophisticated investors or hedge funds." "Failure is built into their mindset." "The best thing you can do is be bold enough to take lots of good bets."

The core structural shift identified is budget reallocation within technology spending, as funds are redirected from legacy software, hardware refreshes, and higher-cost labor toward AI infrastructure, automation, and junior-level hiring. This resource substitution is not additive but redistributive, with spending on AI solutions and related tools coming directly from reductions in traditional IT line items. IBM's $70 billion market valuation loss and delays in large deals signal that even established vendors are affected by this reallocation, with money leaving areas they once dominated. The primary evidence is IBM's issuance of its first profit warning since the early 2000s, attributed to missed large contracts and delayed deals, which triggered a 25% drop in share value, equating to $70 billion in market cap loss. According to Dave Sobel citing Semafor, this reduction was not due to an overall decrease in technology budgets but resulted from enterprise customers reallocating funds toward hardware and AI-related infrastructure. Omnia reported a 3.6% decline in global PC shipments during the second quarter, which was also attributed to rising hardware component costs driven by AI buildouts, causing delays and cancellations in endpoint refresh cycles. Supporting developments include Ramp and Revelio Labs research showing that organizations intensively adopting AI increased headcount by 10% and entry-level hiring by 12% over two years, while CompTIA found IT unemployment fell below 3% even as tech firms cut staff. Futurism cited further labor market reshuffling, with older workers in AI-exposed roles exiting the workforce and younger, cheaper hires being amplified by automation. ConnectWise's rollout of an AI-native platform and KPMG's survey highlighting the importance of leadership accountability in AI projects reinforce that resource allocation is shifting to tools and personnel accountable for AI operation and outcomes. Operationally, this reallocation puts pricing pressure on providers focused on legacy revenue lines such as per-seat licenses, break-fix, and hardware refresh, as these budget categories are shrinking. Evidence from Service Leadership's profitability report shows providers who adopted service desk automation earlier are now earning more per wage dollar, compounding their advantage. The practical implication for MSPs and IT service providers is to identify which client budget categories are “filling” and adjust offerings toward data readiness, AI deployment, and managed accountability, rather than defending legacy categories now facing structural decline. Failure to adapt exposes firms to revenue erosion and intensifies competitive risk from providers aligned with relocated client spend. 00:00 Watch the Money Move 04:37 AI Spend Is Funded by Substitution 07:19 Your Revenue Mix Is the Bet 10:24 Why Do We Care?
