South Asia, the British Empire, and the Rise of Classical Legal Thought: Toward a Historical Ontology of the Law (Oxford UP, 2024) considers the legal history of colonial rule in South Asia from 1757 to the early 20th century. It traces a shift in the conceptualization of sovereignty, land control, and adjudicatory rectification, arguing that under the East India Company the focus was on 'the laws' factoring into the administration of justice more than 'the law' as an infinitely generative norm system. This accompanied a discourse about rendering property 'absolute' defined in terms of a certainty of controlling land's rent-and made administrable mainly as a duty of revenue payment--rather than any right of ostensibly physical dominion. Leaving property external to its ontology of 'the laws, ' the Company's regime thus differed significantly from its counterparts in the Anglo-common-law mainstream, where an ostensibly unitary, physical, and disaggregable notion of the property right was becoming a stand in for a notion of legal right in general already by the late 18th century. Only after 1858, under Crown rule, did conditions in the subcontinent ripen for 'the law' to emerge as a purportedly free-standing institutional fact. A key but neglected factor in this transformation was the rise of classical legal thought, which finally enabled property's internalization into 'the law' and underwrote status and contract becoming the other key elements of the Raj's new legal ontology. Formulating a historical ontological approach to jurisprudence, the book deploys a running distinction between the doctrinal discourse of (the) law and ordinary-language discourse about (the) law that carries implications for legal theory well beyond South Asia. Arighna Gupta is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His dissertation attempts to trace early-colonial genealogies of popular sovereignty located at the interstices of monarchical, religious, and colonial sovereignties in India and present-day Bangladesh.

That's what we're diving into in this episode: why nice guys don't trust themselves — and how that lack of self-trust is sabotaging every relationship in their lives.Chuck, Ari, and Faisal get real about their own struggles with self-doubt, people-pleasing, and that paralyzing fear of being wrong. Because here's the brutal truth: if you don't trust yourself, nobody else will either. Not your partner, not your kids, not your team.We break down:Why nice guys outsource their decisions and avoid conflict at all costsHow childhood programming taught us that being "good" is more important than being honestThe shame spiral that keeps men stuck in analysis paralysisWhy women can sense when you don't trust yourself (and why it's such a turn-off)Practical steps to rebuild self-trust through consistency and accountabilityHow to stop looking for validation and start validating your own decisionsThe power of leaning into tension instead of always taking the easy way outThis isn't just about making better decisions — it's about reclaiming your masculine core and becoming the kind of man who knows what he thinks, what he wants, and where he's going.If you've been living someone else's blueprint instead of your own, this conversation will wake you up.

Faisal Saeed Al Mutar joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful conversation on freedom, reform, and the unfinished business of the Middle East. Faisal is an Iraqi refugee who lived through the chaos of Saddam's fall and the U.S. invasion. He recounts his journey from Baghdad to America, and how those experiences shaped his mission to promote secularism, literacy, and critical thinking in the Arab world. He exposes how extremism thrives on ignorance, and why authoritarian regimes—from Iraq to Qatar—use culture, religion, and oil wealth to maintain power.They discuss the failures of U.S. foreign policy, Trump's controversial deals with Gulf states, and the ongoing struggle for genuine reform in a region caught between dictatorship and jihadism. Faisal argues that real change must come from empowering young people with ideas, not weapons.All this—the Iraq War, Qatar's influence, the dangers of authoritarianism, and one man's fight to build a freer Middle East…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 04:52 Christopher Hitchens' Influence and the Iraq War17:23 Obama's Foreign Policy and Its Impact on Iraq 28:22 Trump's Foreign Policy and Qatar's Role45:51 Qatar's Influence on American Institutions 52:15 Syria and the Persecution of Minorities1:05:51 Recognition of Palestine as a State 1:29:23 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

An AI leadership framework that balances innovation with responsibility is essential for 2025 success, as thought leader Faisal Hoque reveals the groundbreaking OPEN and CARE methodology that helps leaders navigate the complex hybrid world of human-AI collaboration. Bottom Line Up Front: Leaders must become multidisciplinary systems thinkers who can manage both human resources and digital agents simultaneously. The most effective AI leadership framework combines opportunity exploration (OPEN) with catastrophic risk prevention (CARE) to create sustainable AI business strategy that serves humanity while driving innovation. From Human Authenticity to Strategic Implementation: Part 2 of Our AI Leadership Series This is Part 2 of our exclusive two-part interview series with bestselling author and thought leader Faisal Hoque. In Part 1: "Women in Leadership AI: Preserving Human Authenticity While Harnessing Technology", we explored what makes us uniquely human, the importance of leadership authenticity, and how to protect your agency while leveraging AI tools. Now, in Part 2, we dive deep into the practical implementation side: How do you actually build an AI leadership framework that works? Faisal reveals his proprietary OPEN and CARE methodology—a systematic approach to AI governance framework that balances innovation with ethical responsibility. The Hybrid World Reality: Why Traditional Leadership No Longer Works The Death of Process-Performance-Structure Leadership The old leadership paradigm is obsolete. As Hoque explains, "When I started my career, we used to think very much about process performance and organizational structure. Those kind of started to fade away. And we started talking about emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and inspiration and influence." But even that evolution isn't enough for our current AI business strategy demands. Today's leaders face an unprecedented challenge: managing hybrid workforces that include both human employees and AI agents. What Hybrid Leadership Actually Means Most people think "hybrid" refers to remote versus office work. That's wrong. In the context of AI leadership framework development, hybrid means something far more complex: Three Types of Hybrid Leadership: Hybrid Markets: Your customers interact with both human representatives and AI agents (like Netflix's algorithm suggesting your next show) Hybrid Workforce: You manage both human resources and digital resources, working together and sometimes replacing each other Hybrid Leadership Decision-Making: As a leader, you're not just saying "Faisal is going to do this and Sabrina is going to do that"—you're also allocating: "My customer agent is going to do this, and my chatbot is going to do that" The New Leadership Requirements Modern leaders must be both emotionally intelligent AND systems thinkers. This used to be the job of IT or technology people, but that's no longer true. In today's AI governance framework, every leader at every level must understand how people and technology coexist. The CARE Framework: Your AI Ethics Framework for Risk Prevention Why Risk Planning Is Critical in AI Governance Framework Most leaders are not prepared for AI's potential negative consequences. They focus entirely on opportunity while ignoring catastrophic scenarios. The CARE framework forces leaders to think preventatively. CARE: The Four-Step Risk Methodology CARE is also an acronym that ensures responsible AI framework implementation: C - Catastrophize Scenarios Identify the most catastrophic outcomes possible from your AI implementation Consider impacts on employees, customers, and society Think beyond immediate business metrics A - Assess Impact Evaluate ripple effects across your ecosystem Consider job displacement consequences Analyze long-term societal implications R - Risk Mitigation Develop guardrails and governance structures

Ari, Chuck, and Faisal dive deep into one of the biggest complaints they hear from men: "My wife never initiates sex anymore." Whether you're in a dead bedroom situation, feeling like you're always chasing, or wondering if you stopped initiating whether sex would happen at all… this conversation is going to open your eyes.We get into:Why "it's always the masculine's job to initiate" might actually be trueThe difference between initiation and seduction (and why women do it differently)How you've probably been approaching sex all wrong — like a "sexual camel" waiting for waterWhy your wife isn't initiating (hint: it's not about her libido)The real reason men crave initiation from women (it's not what you think)How to rebuild attraction and polarity when the spark has diedWhy being a "nice guy" who does the honey-do list isn't foreplayThe connection between sex appeal, effort, and actually being desirableThis one's for every man who's ever thought "Why am I always the one?" or "She used to want me all the time." Listen. Learn. Start showing up differently. Because the problem isn't that she doesn't want sex — it's that she doesn't want sex with the man you've become.Time to change that.Subscribe to the Nice Guy Show newsletter to get tips and insights on how to lead a high-value lifehttps://niceguyshow.com/Connect with Faisal Khokhar:https://masculine.co/https://instagram.com/coachfaisalkhttps://youtube.com/@coachfaisalkConnect with Chuck Chapman: https://chuckchapman.com/https://instagram.com/chuckchapman.ma/Connect with Dr. Ari Graff:https://drarigraff.com/https://draribgraff.com/register [divorce recovery program]https://youtube.com/@AriGraff

Faisal and Leanna dig into a major blind spot in many retirement plans: health care. From out-of-pocket medical costs to the rising need for long-term care, they explain why planning for your health is just as important as planning for your wealth. Then, Tegan Hill from the Fraser Institute joins to unpack Alberta’s pension proposal, the potential $334 billion transfer, and how it could impact your retirement income. Whether you support it or not, this is a debate every Albertan retiree should be watching. Next, economist Moshe Lander explains how Canada has stayed resilient amid rising tariffs and global trade tensions and what retirees need to know about how it affects your investments, household costs, and financial plan. To wrap up, Faisal and Leanna tackle the questions they hear most often: Can I afford to retire? What happens if things don’t go as planned? They share personal insights and real-world scenarios to help you navigate uncertainty with confidence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some people live life on the ground — Faisal Al Olayan chose the sky. An aerospace engineer, pilot, skydiver, and a proud athlete on Saudi Arabia's national paragliding team. He doesn't just travel; he chases storms, soars above mountains, and dives into clouds most of us only dream about. From rain that "almost stops the heart" mid-flight, to emotional moments finishing his wingsuit training in Russia, Faisal lives life one adrenaline rush at a time. His story isn't about escaping gravity — it's about finding freedom in it.

Leaving the dusty road behind, the group arrives in Jonstown where good food and drink welcome the them. Fin collects some new trinkets and new ideas, while Faisal sees their family and gathers strength for the road ahead.

Most guys don't even see it coming. One day everything seems fine, and the next… she's done. Moved out. Checked out.

Faisal Hoque: Transcend Faisal Hoque is an award-winning entrepreneur and innovator and founder of SHADOKA and NextChapter. He is a three-time Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the books: Reinvent, Everything Connects, and Lift. He has just released his newest book: Transcend: Unlocking Humanity in the Age of AI*. The most compelling use cases for AI aren't people OR AI – it's both. Leaders who learn how to partner with AI will almost certainly open doors that many others don't. In this episode, Faisal and I explore (a few steps on) how to get started. Key Points While we think about working with AI as very different than working with people, similar mindsets and skillsets help us with both. Partnering will with AI means asking better questions and being genuinely interested in the answers. Experts are limited by their perspective. Beginners are open to possibilities. We should approach AI with a beginner's mindset. Using AI well means getting more comfortable with uncertainty. We need to own our ignorance. Playful discovery helps with our intrinsic motivation to keep going. When using AI, find the fun that keeps you engaged. This technology will do the logical work far better than any human. To partner well, work to increase your emotional intelligence.

An expert panel highlights key presentations in multiplemyeloma, lymphoma, and other hematologic malignancies at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting.CancerNetwork®, in collaboration with The American Societyfor Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT), organized an X Space hosted by Rahul Banerjee, MD, FACP; Taha Al-Juhaishi, MD; and Muhammad Salman Faisal, MD. This expert panel convened to discuss key presentations and abstracts of interest at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting featuring noteworthy developments in modalities like CAR T-cell therapy and transplantation across multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and other disease types.Banerjee is an assistant professor in the Clinical Research Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington. Al-Juhaishi is the associate director of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cell Therapy Program at Oklahoma University Health Stephenson Cancer Center and an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Faisal is a hematologist/oncologist at Oklahoma University HealthStephenson Cancer Center and serves as an ambassador for ASCO.The group highlighted several late-breaking abstracts,plenary sessions, and poster presentations focused on significant clinical trial data and other findings across the hematologic oncology landscape. Topics of interest included the following:Phase 1b/2 CARTITUDE-1 trial (NCT03548207,NCT05201781)1Long-term follow-up showed that approximately one-third(33%; n = 32) of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma maintained progression-free status for at least 5 years following a single infusion of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel; Carvykti). An equal likelihood of progression-free survival occurred in patients with high-risk cytogenetics or extramedullary plasmacytomas.With a median follow-up of 61.3 months, the median overall survival (OS) with cilta-cel was 60.7 months (95% CI, 41.9-notevaluable [NE]). Real-world axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; Yescarta) use2Across inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, safety and efficacy outcomes were comparable for patients who received axi-cel for relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.Multivariate analysis showed no associations between intended care setting and cytokine release syndrome or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome.Investigators noted that these real-world data support the consideration of axi-cel in appropriate outpatient settings.Phase 1b/2 NEXICART-2 trial (NCT06097832)3Investigators assessed NXC-201, a sterically optimized CAR T construct, as a treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory light chain amyloidosis, a population with no FDA-approved options.Among 12 patients who received the agent at 450x 106 cells, 100% achieved rapid and deep hematologic responses at a median time to first and best response of 7 and 26 days, respectively. With a median follow-up of 121 days (range, 29-289), no hematologic relapses or progression had occurred.References1.     Voorhees P, Martin T, Lin Y, et al.

The United States is often seen as the holy grail of markets for agencies. That's great if you're already located in the US, but what if you're not?For the last couple of years, agency owners in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa have asked us our advice on how they can get clients in the US, but we've never had a good answer for them. Managing time zones is one thing, but the cultural differences and US stereotypes of foreign work plague agency owners not located in the US.Faisal and Umair join us on the podcast to talk about how they got started in Pakistan and grew their development agency, Strugbits, to over 150 people by always targeting the US as their primary market.They go in-depth into how they got started, acquired clients, and earned trust with US partners.----------------------------------*This episode is sponsored by Wix Studio.----------------------------------Our recommended agency tools:everbrospodcast.com/recommended-tools/----------------------------------⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐As always, if you enjoyed this episode or this podcast in general and want to leave us a review or rating, head over to Apple and let us know what you like!

C'est une histoire digne d'un polar diplomatique, mêlant vol, meurtres, et vengeance royale. Entre 1989 et 2023, la Thaïlande et l'Arabie Saoudite ont connu une rupture diplomatique quasi totale. La raison ? Un vol de bijoux, au cœur duquel brille un mystérieux diamant bleu.Tout commence en 1989. Un jeune Thaïlandais du nom de Kriangkrai Techamong, employé comme domestique au sein du palais du prince saoudien Faisal bin Fahd, profite de son accès aux quartiers privés pour dérober 91 kg de bijoux précieux, dont un diamant bleu rare de 50 carats, d'une valeur inestimable. Il expédie le tout en Thaïlande dans des boîtes de carton, puis rentre dans son pays discrètement.L'affaire fait grand bruit. Riyad exige que Bangkok restitue les joyaux. La police thaïlandaise arrête rapidement le voleur et annonce avoir retrouvé la quasi-totalité du butin. Mais lorsqu'une délégation saoudienne vient récupérer les biens, le scandale éclate : plusieurs pièces rendues sont fausses, et surtout, le diamant bleu a disparu.Le doute s'installe : les enquêteurs thaïlandais ont-ils subtilisé les vrais bijoux pour les remplacer par des copies ? Le mystère s'épaissit.Entre-temps, l'affaire prend une tournure tragique. Trois diplomates saoudiens sont assassinés à Bangkok entre 1989 et 1990 dans des circonstances troubles. Un homme d'affaires saoudien chargé d'enquêter sur le vol disparaît peu après. Aucun de ces crimes ne sera élucidé. L'Arabie Saoudite y voit un affront et un mépris total de la justice.Furieux, le royaume coupe les ponts : plus de visas de travail pour les Thaïlandais, ambassade réduite au strict minimum, échanges diplomatiques gelés. Des dizaines de milliers de travailleurs thaïlandais sont expulsés ou empêchés de venir travailler dans le Golfe, une perte économique majeure pour Bangkok.Pendant trois décennies, l'affaire du diamant bleu empoisonne les relations. L'Arabie Saoudite réclame toujours son joyau, devenu un symbole d'honneur bafoué. En Thaïlande, certains pensent que le diamant n'a jamais existé, ou qu'il est dissimulé par des figures puissantes.Ce n'est qu'en janvier 2022 qu'un rapprochement est amorcé, grâce à une visite historique du Premier ministre thaïlandais à Riyad. En 2023, les deux pays annoncent officiellement la normalisation de leurs relations diplomatiques.Mais à ce jour, le diamant bleu reste introuvable, tout comme les coupables des assassinats. Ce joyau manquant aura été à lui seul la cause d'une des plus longues brouilles diplomatiques du monde moderne, un drame mêlant vanité, silence, et impunité. Hébergé par Acast.
