Podcasts about Fallacy

What happens when moral reasoning is replaced by comparison and outrage? In this episode, we name what may be the greatest moral fallacy of our time: the "yeah, but" fallacy—the habit of justifying our own behavior by pointing to the failures of the other side. We explore how this entrenched way of thinking corrodes conscience and threatens the American Republic. And as we launch this new series—an extension of Our Cultural Crisis—we begin to plot a path forward: a third way out of the madness.

You can't "life-hack" your way to a holy marriage.

In this episode, Tim Koller, co-author of Valuation and a leading authority on corporate finance, offers a substantive examination of capital allocation decisions under real-world constraints. The discussion moves beyond theory to explore how CEOs and CFOs should approach resource deployment in mature, capital-rich companies—where investment opportunities are limited not due to lack of ambition but due to economic reality. Key insights include: - Share Buybacks as Rational Policy: Many firms undertaking significant buybacks—particularly in tech, life sciences, and consumer products—do so because they generate more cash than they can reinvest profitably. Koller argues that, in such cases, returning excess capital to shareholders is not a sign of strategic failure but of disciplined decision-making. - The Fallacy of Diversification Without Advantage: Koller highlights repeated failures by capital-rich companies that expand into unrelated sectors to deploy cash, citing historical missteps in energy, utilities, and industrials. He emphasizes the need to assess whether the firm has a genuine competitive advantage before moving beyond its core business. - Granular Leadership in Resource Allocation: Effective CEOs are directly engaged with capital allocation at the business-unit level. Delegating such decisions without maintaining enterprise-wide oversight often leads to underinvestment in high-return growth areas and misaligned incentives at the divisional level. - The Perils of Uniform Cost-Cutting Mandates: Broad directives to improve margins often result in cuts to product development and customer experience—leading to long-term degradation despite short-term financial gains. Koller stresses the importance of distinguishing between cost efficiencies that enhance value and those that erode it. - Timing and Judgment in Capital Deployment: In cyclical, capital-intensive sectors such as chemicals and energy, building capacity in sync with competitors can destroy value. Koller calls for contrarian timing, grounded in independent analysis, even when boards and markets are predisposed to follow the cycle. Additional themes include the underuse of postmortems in capital projects, the misalignment between project planners and operators, and the distinction between executional and experimental failure. Throughout, Koller reiterates that sound capital allocation depends not only on financial modeling, but also on institutional learning, leadership judgment, and clarity of strategic intent. This conversation offers practical, senior-level guidance for executives, board members, and investors who must navigate capital planning amid structural constraints, investor pressures, and organizational complexity.   Get Tim's book here: https://shorturl.at/nk7Z9 Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies   Claim your free gift: Free gift #1 McKinsey & BCG winning resume www.FIRMSconsulting.com/resumePDF Free gift #2 Breakthrough Decisions Guide with 25 AI Prompts www.FIRMSconsulting.com/decisions Free gift #3 Five Reasons Why People Ignore Somebody www.FIRMSconsulting.com/owntheroom Free gift #4 Access episode 1 from Build a Consulting Firm, Level 1 www.FIRMSconsulting.com/build Free gift #5 The Overall Approach used in well-managed strategy studies www.FIRMSconsulting.com/OverallApproach Free gift #6 Get a copy of Nine Leaders in Action, a book we co-authored with some of our clients: www.FIRMSconsulting.com/gift

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-ninth episode, we explore the Sanctimony Fallacy, starting with Trump calling Democrats immoral for their stance on abortion, and claiming he did the right thing regarding Roe v Wade.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch justifying the kidnapping of Maduro, the morality of Zack Polanksi's former profession as a hypnotist, and David Cameron hypocritically attacking Jimmy Carr's offshore tax affairs.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Witness, The Big Bang Theory, and Ted 2.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then we talk about the murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agents in Minnesota.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft189 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpAnd you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

"I asked him, 'What is it that you're teaching undergraduate students about benefits?''…Just two slides. That blew me away." - Kyle MinickMy guest this week is Kyle Minick, Vice President of Employee Benefits at Summit Financial Group. Kyle returns to the show to expose a massive systemic failure: Universities are not teaching HR professionals how to manage their second-largest expense.Kyle shares the shocking story of how he discovered that major university HR programs dedicate almost zero curriculum to healthcare strategy. Instead of complaining about it, he decided to fix it. We discuss the 6-week accredited college course he built from scratch to teach the next generation of buyers about Stop-Loss, PBMs, and TPA contracts before they enter the workforce.But before we dive into the classroom, we dissect the broken market they are inheriting. We debate why Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) is failing in hospital-dominated markets like Texas, why relating prices to Medicare might be backfiring, and whether the government should step in to establish a "median price" for care.Tune in to see how we can bridge the education gap and finally train buyers to demand better.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

In this episode, I talk about the feedback fallacy and why most feedback does not actually help you improve. A lot of feedback is just noise, shaped by people's emotions, biases, timing, and fear of telling the truth. If you don't know how to filter it, feedback will weaken you instead of sharpen you. I explain the difference between real, useful feedback and polite or fake opinions. This is about learning who to listen to and when to ignore the noise. Show Notes: [03:37]#1 Feedback usually reflects the giver more than a receiver.  [08:07]#2 Consensus does not equal competence. [13:45]#3 Feedback without context is useless.

This week the world watched the murder of an American mother before she was rapidly slandered by the highest offices while her killer was sheltered and protected. Then, the Vice President declared the masked men of ICE, an agency with a long history of abuses, to have "absolute immunity". Despite that, and the FBI taking full control of the "investigation" into Renee Good's murder, the local District Attorney has decided to pursue charges against seasoned ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Detailing recent murders and deaths in detainment, summarizing video showing myriad abuses of power, including current abuses against women and members of the LGBTQ+ community, plus the history of Border Patrol's tactics, all help to illustrate the severity of the situation and why "comply or die" is the opposite of living in the land of the free. Amidst a time of chaos and intimidation, knowing your rights, protecting yourself, contributing however you can, staying engaged, and discerning between fact and propaganda is more important than ever.Find your representatives at USA.GOV and/or the "5 Calls" app and contact them, often. “I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” - James BaldwinWanna support this independent pod?

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-eighth episode, we explore the Argumentum Ad Feminam, starting with a montage of Trump attacking women.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Diane Abbott reporting on the daily abuse she gets over social media, Harriet Harman on why she didn't get appointed Deputy PM, and why women like her threaten misogynists, and Kemi Badenoch attacking women who complain about being attacked.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Star Wars, Anchorman, and Cheers.Jim and Mark go head to head in a special Christmas edition of Fake News, in which Mark has to guess which absurdly sycophantic remarks were made up by Jim and which were lavished on Trump by his acolytes.Then we talk about the heavily redacted and incomplete Epstein files.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft188 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpAnd you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

If you've ever tried to “change your mindset,” only to find yourself stuck in the same patterns over and over again, this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations will help you understand why. The truth is, your thoughts aren't the problem … they're symptoms of deeper layers living in your body and nervous system. In this episode, you'll learn why mindset work alone often falls flat, and how nervous system state, unprocessed emotions, and old conditioning shape your thoughts and mindset long before you're aware of them. When you begin to work with the body instead of fighting with your thoughts, everything starts to make more sense. I'll also guide you through a somatic meditation that helps you explore the roots of a mindset issue you've been struggling with. Through nervous system regulation and a gentle somatic emotional healing process, you'll be guided to connect with the deeper emotional and subconscious material underneath the pattern. If you're tired of trying to think your way into feeling better, this practice offers a compassionate, body-centered path toward real change.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) has put together a 'greatest hits' album of classic takes, and Dan revisits one of those where the Senator asks 'health experts' the simple question - 'do you support abortion up to the moment of birth for a healthy mother and a healthy infant?'Kentucky state representative Sarah Stalker (D) expresses that she 'doesn't feel good about being white every day,' and goes on to describe her white privilege. Dan and Ryan scoff at this notion.

We came up with the Goal / Result / Timeline Fallacy a number of years ago when we saw people consistently setting goals that ended up frustrating them and leading them toward failure. It wasn't that the goal itself was inappropriate, it was the timeline or result attached to it. In most cases it was the fact that these goals often came with both a desired result and timeline instead of one or the other. In this episode, we talk through this fallacy and highlight why it causes such distress and resentment for the process. We also discuss what to do when you just aren't feeling your goal anymore. Spoiler alert - it's ok to change your mind!

Discipline is the foundation of everything. You don't get transformation without it. In this powerful Best Of Harder Than Life episode, we break down the truth about what real change actually takes.

Featuring hard-hitting moments from Grant Cardone, Coach Micheal Burt, Craig Ballantyne, and Molly Smith, this episode gives you the blueprint to activate your drive, escape destructive cycles, build unshakable discipline, and create the identity required for massive transformation. This is the mindset. This is the muscle. This is the work behind every breakthrough. Key Takeaways

The Fallacy of Stealth Mode Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startups often choose to stay in stealth mode in the early days to protect their idea. In most cases, stealth mode doesn't help the startup and can actually hurt it. Here's the downside of going into stealth mode: It's difficult for others to help the startup because they don't know what is going on. It's harder to hire for the startup because it's a secret. You can't tell customers about it because you may reveal too much. It's difficult to talk to investors because the startup wants everyone to sign an NDA. Startups that commit fraud are often in stealth mode to hide their activities. Instead of going into stealth mode, be open about what you are doing. Refrain from explaining to everyone how you are doing it. This gives exposure to the startup for investors and customers. Consider keeping certain functions as a trade secret. Investors will appreciate the fact that you have intellectual property in the form of a trade secret. They will be less impressed by your stealth mode. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Send us a textIn this special mental health episode of The Day's Grimm, hosts Brian Michael Day and Thomas Grimm welcome back Licensed Clinical Social Worker Lori Riley of Blue Skies Mindfulness to take a deep dive into EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy! Brian shares his personal journey of finally committing to therapy and his initial, intense experience with the first stages of EMDR, including the crucial process of building a mental "safe space".Lori Riley, LCSW, breaks down everything you need to know about this powerful trauma treatment modality:What is EMDR? Defining Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as psychotherapy that helps heal emotional distress from disturbing life experiences by using bilateral stimulation.Bilateral Stimulation: Discussing the different tools used for bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, the "buzzies" (vibrating eggs), or tapping.The Safe Space & Container Technique: Explaining the importance of building a mental "safe space" as a pausing mechanism during sessions, and the "container" technique for temporarily putting away triggering thoughts, people, or nightmares.Managing Intensity: Lori explains that EMDR can be intense and draining, and emphasizes the need for a therapist to allow time for processing after each session, rather than immediately ending the appointment.Coping Skills: Discussing practical, in-the-moment coping skills like grounding (focusing on the tangible environment) to manage fear-driven anxiety cycles and developing a personal mantra to combat intrusive thoughts.The History & Stigma of EMDR: Lori recounts how EMDR was once dismissed by professors as a "fallacy" in the early 2000s and why the training is so intensive.Overcoming Barriers to Therapy: The hosts and guest discuss the hurdles of seeking help, such as embarrassment, the "manly man" complex, and the frustration of having to "shop around" to find the right therapist.If you're curious about EMDR, seeking therapy, or looking for new mental health coping skills, this episode is a must-watch!GUEST INFO Lori Riley, LCSW Blue Skies Mindfulness https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/lori-riley-evansville-in/290090TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Episode Start & Guest Intro (Lori Riley, LCSW) 03:13 - Lori's Practice: Blue Skies Mindfulness 03:34 - What is "Grounding"? 05:56 - Brian's Therapy Journey & A Therapist Crying 07:09 - Introduction to EMDR Therapy 08:30 - Building a Mental "Safe Space" 13:17 - The Container Technique & Four Square Breathing 17:35 - How EMDR was viewed 20 Years Ago (A "Fallacy") 26:42 - Official Definition of EMDR 35:20 - The Power of a Mantra/Saying to Combat Anxiety 1:05:20 - Overcoming Barriers to Seeking Therapy (Embarrassment, Manliness) #EMDR #EMDRTherapy #MentalHealth #TraumaTherapy #TheDaysGrimm #LoriRileyLCSW #SafeSpace #AnxietyRelief #CopingSkills #GroundingTechnique #Therap[The Days Grimm Podcast Links]- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDaysGrimm- Our link tree: linktr.ee/Thedaysgrimm- GoFundMe account for The Days Grimm: https://gofund.me/02527e7c [The Days Grimm is brought to you by]Sadness & ADHD (non-medicated)

The Keep Going Fallacy Have you ever told yourself, "I just need to keep going..."? In the middle of full schedules and long to-do lists, especially around the holidays, it's easy to believe that we have no choice but to keep going. But what if that "just keeping going" mindset is actually costing you peace? In this episode, I'm sharing what I call the Keep Going Fallacy: the idea that quitting or pivoting means failure, when sometimes it's actually the most faithful, aligned, and peaceful decision you can make. You'll hear: Why hustle culture gets it wrong (especially for moms) How to tell the difference between real commitment and auto-pilot 5 powerful questions to help you decide whether to keep going, pivot, or pause Why giving something up doesn't mean giving up on yourself And I'll walk you through how to move forward with clarity, whether that means continuing with fresh intention or choosing a new path. This episode is for the mom who's spinning her wheels, trying so hard to hold it all together. You're allowed to pause. To breathe. To ask what's really serving you—and to change your mind with grace. If you liked this episode, here are some others you might enjoy: 69. The Need For Rest 81. Before You Burn Out 84.

My best days are many times sleepless nights.God has often made the most resounding impact on His hard-headed slave -me- through sleepless nights wrestling with Him.This delayed episode is just one occasion of God's work on a dull hearer. We will see how dangerous it is to believe we pray primarily to get what we want. We follow Balak and Balaam as they persist in prayer, which is clearly against God's will. Ploy 1: Everyone thinks it's a good idea.Ploy 2: Really distinguished men think it is a good idea.Ploy 3: God's servant will get lots of money if you say yes.Ploy 4: Worship, I will give lots of worship if you only give me this.Ploy 5: Threatening the servant of God. (I get my ploys a little out of order. Lol out loud)Balaam finally comes to his senses, but what time I have wasted praying for stones and snakes dull in learning, the joy of my soul resting in my converse with my gracious Savior. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."Robert Murray M'CheyneAssistant Editor: Seven Jefferson Gossardwww.frponprayer.comfreerangeprayer@gmail.comFacebook - Free Range Preacher MinistriesInstagram: freerangeministriesAll our Scripture quotes are drawn from the NASB 1977 edition.For access to the voice-over services of Richard Durrington, please visit RichardDurrington.com or email him at Durringtonr@gmail.comOur podcast art was designed by @sammmmmmmmm23 on InstagramSeason 008Episode 003

In this candid solo episode, Bradley Hamner challenges one of the most popular concepts in business literature: the idea of the CEO as "visionary" with an integrator handling everything else. While books like Traction and Rocket Fuel have made this framework wildly popular, Bradley argues it's not realistic for small business owners—and explains why execution matters just as much as vision.If you've ever felt pressure to be the visionary who just "visionates all over the place" while someone else does the real work, this episode is your permission to embrace a more practical approach to leadership.Connect with Bradley:1-1 Game Plan Call: Get Above The Business.

Send us a textWhat if the phrase you've been taught to cherish—“Judeo-Christian”—actually blurs the gospel more than it clarifies it? We take on one of the most charged topics in the church today: how to think biblically about Israel, the Church, and the unfolding promise of God without caving to political slogans or tribal pressure. With open Bibles and steady pacing, we examine covenant theology vs dispensationalism, trace the seed of Abraham to Christ, and ask who “God's chosen people” really are according to Romans 9, Matthew 5, and the story of Scripture.We walk through the Old Testament's continuity with the New, highlighting Christophanies and the progressive revelation of the covenants—Edenic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and New—unified in Jesus. Along the way, we reckon with modern Zionism's surge, the origins of the word Jew, and why many churches drift into syncretism when Israeli symbols are platformed as if they share equal footing with the cross. We also tackle the role of rabbinic tradition—Talmud, Mishnah, Midrash—and why contemporary Judaism is not simply “Old Testament minus Jesus,” but a different authority structure that often contradicts the Bible and rejects Christ.None of this is a political screed. It's a call to clarity, courage, and love. We argue for a Christ-centered approach that honors Scripture's storyline, resists proof-texting, and refuses to baptize any modern nation as covenantally chosen. Most importantly, we urge Christians to evangelize both Jew and Gentile with humility and urgency, embracing the watchman's responsibility: warn faithfully, love deeply, and trust God with the outcome.If you're ready to replace slogans with Scripture and sentiment with substance, this conversation will sharpen your mind and steady your heart. Listen, test everything in the Word, and tell us where you land.

The Shadow of a Villain: Bad Person, Bad Things?

For years, business owners have been told that starting a podcast is the ultimate marketing move — the one strategy that magically solves everything. And while I genuinely believe podcasts are among the most powerful visibility tools available, I've also seen how they can become a money-draining hobby instead of a high-ROI business asset.After working with podcasters across four continents, I've realized that many are unknowingly leaving money on the table — not because their show isn't great, but because their monetization strategy isn't aligned with their business model. Let's break down the five biggest ROI mistakes that could be quietly costing you growth and revenue.Chapters:00:00 - The Power of Podcasts in Business00:53 - Common Mistakes in Podcast Monetization02:11 - Exclusive Deals vs. Broad Reach05:07 - The Importance of Product Promotion08:48 - Ad Breaks: A Missed Opportunity13:42 - Selling Without Being Salesy17:17 - The Fallacy of Affiliate Marketing1. Exclusive Distribution Without a Data-Backed ReturnMany business owners see creators landing “exclusive” deals with Spotify or Samsung and think that's the ultimate success metric. But here's the reality — exclusivity limits your reach unless the platform can prove it will drive revenue or audience growth. Unless they can show data, testimonials, or client case studies that back up the ROI, you're better off being everywhere (including YouTube)!2. Misalignment Between What You Sell and What You SayThis is one of the most expensive mistakes I see. Too many podcasters are producing content their ideal clients don't actually need. If your episodes aren't directly connected to the problems your business solves, you're building awareness with the wrong audience.3. Skipping Ad Breaks (and Missing Sponsorship Readiness)Here's a simple test: can someone listen to your show and instantly visualize where their ad could go? If not, you're missing out. Even if you're not running ads yet, including clear ad breaks (“We'll be right back after this quick message…”) signals to brands that you understand structure.4. Educating Endlessly — and Forgetting to SellA lot of purpose-driven creators fear that selling will make them sound pushy. But education without goal connection will lead to creator burnout. Today's content landscape is noisy, and subtlety doesn't pay the bills.5. Prioritizing Affiliate Links Over Your Own ProductsAffiliate links can be tempting, but they rarely create meaningful income for small, niche shows. Let's do the math: promoting a $30/month tool with a 10% commission might earn you $3. Promoting your own $500 coaching session or $95 digital product could earn you hundreds or thousands.The Real ROI Shift: Treating Your Podcast Like a Business ToolWhen you start structuring your podcast like a revenue engine — not a random content platform — everything changes. You create episodes intentionally. You align your call-to-actions. You attract sponsors who share your values. And suddenly, your show isn't an expense — it's an asset.Podcasting is still one of the most effective visibility tools for service-based business owners. The difference between a show that drains your energy and one that drives consistent ROI is strategy.Resources mentioned in this episode:For the full list of links, resources and show notes, please visit:https://www.thepodcastspace.com/podcast/s4-108-how-to-turn-your-podcast-from-a-time-sink-into-a-sales-engine

Zohran Mamdani has won the 2025 New York City mayoral race, with a higher turnout of voters than New York has seen in decades. This despite the fact that New York's senators — Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand — did not back Mamdani, and House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries waited until the day before early voting began to endorse the Democratic nominee.Mamdani's divided party support reflects an intensifying argument over whether Democratic candidates must move closer to the political center  - or further away - in order to win. Brooke speaks with Elliott Morris, a journalist, statistician, and author of the data-driven news website Strength in Numbers, about what the numbers say around moderation and why it might not be the silver bullet Democratic strategists seemed to crave.Further reading:Moderation is not a silver bullet, by Elliott MorrisThe Strategist's Fallacy in American politics, by Elliott Morris  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

In this Prof Responds episode, Professor Wamble tackles the fallacy of equity at Hogwarts: the idea that sharing wands and classrooms means sharing opportunity. Building on listener insights, he traces four fault lines: curriculum that trains spell-casting but not citizenship, a hidden labor economy (house-elves/goblins) that sustains privilege, ableism that sidelines Squibs, and a house system that rewards conformity over curiosity. Along the way, he draws clear parallels to our world, showing how “equal access” without critical thinking, support, and inclusion simply reproduces the same power structures—magical and otherwise.

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-fourth episode, we explore the Appeal to Fame Fallacy, starting with Trump reassuring journalists about TikTok, boasting about famous people asking him questions, and arguing with Terry Moran.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Oasis promoting Tony Blair, Elton John promoting Starmer, and Nigel Farage promoting himself.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Bojack Horseman, The Rocketeer, and Drunk History.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then we talk about the final QED.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft184 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpAnd you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The One-Orc Conclusion: Judging a Village by One Bad Apple!

Episode 247 launches us into an intense period. We're going to travel to the border between the Zulu kingdom and the Transvaal because there's trouble brewing. When you hear what shenanigans were planned by British Governor Sir Bartle Frere, you probably won't believe it. His partner in crime was Sir Theophilus Shepstone who in 1877, had just completed thirty years service as Secretary for Native Affairs in Natal. For the Zulu, the transformation of the Native Affairs Secretary into the Administrator of the newly annexed Transvaal was a serious development. As historian Jeff Guy points out, it destroyed the diplomatic link forged between Cetshwayo kaMpande and Shepstone at a particularly sensitive moment in history. Previously, Shepstone had been sympathetic to the Zulu in their border dispute with the Boers, but once the Natal official took office in the Transvaal, that sentiment shifted. The pressure of trying to reconcile the Boers to their newly annexed state was too much for Shepstone — he did not have the emotional courage nor the courage of his convictions to balance the needs and wants of both the Boers and the Zulu. “He turned his coat in the most shameless manner…” one Colonial Office official by the name of Fairfield is quoted as writing in a minute to Edward Stanley the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs after the War. Sir Bartle Frere the British High Commissioner in Cape Town, was determined to eradicate what he thought of as the Zulu threat. He was still busy sorting out the Ninth Frontier War against the Xhosa, and watching the Pedi battle the Boers in the north Eastern Transvaal. While that irritating side-show .. at least in Frere's mind .. continued, here was Cetshwayo openly defying his Native Affairs man in Natal. Cetshwayo approached Natal's lieutenant Governor Sir Henry Bulwer — after whom the town of Bulwer is named. By now it was clear the Zulu relationship with Shepstone was done. Bulwer had monitored what was going on and he was deeply disturbed by developments. It was ironic that the Zulu chief was turning to a British official as a mediator of sorts. Bulwer appointed a boundary commission to probe the dispute between the Boers and the Zulu.To Frere's surprise, the commission found that the Boers of the Transvaal had no right to be in Zululand. Bulwer's next dispatches concluded that Natal could maintain a peaceful policy towards the Zulu nation because it hadn't violated any agreements with Natal and the Transvaal. Frere was dumbstruck, and so dumbstruck, he was struck dumb. He kept the report a secret for five months.

The conversation explores the major themes from the conference, including the push for passkey adoption at scale and the challenge of securely authenticating AI agents.A key focus of the discussion is the concept of "Know Your Employee" (KYE) in a continuous manner, a critical strategy for today's remote and hybrid workforces. Bojan explains how the old paradigm of one-time verification is failing, especially in the face of sophisticated, AI-powered social engineering attacks like those used by Scattered Spider. They discuss the issue of "identity sprawl" across multiple IDPs and why consolidation isn't always the answer. Instead, Bojan advocates for a flexible, best-of-breed approach that provides a consistent authentication experience and leverages existing security tools.Connect with Bojan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bojansimic/Learn more about HYPR: https://www.hypr.com/idacConnect with us on LinkedIn:Jim McDonald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmcdonaldpmp/Jeff Steadman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffsteadman/Visit the show on the web at idacpodcast.comChapter Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction at Authenticate 202500:23 - Sponsored Episode Welcome: Bojan Simic, CEO of HYPR01:11 - How Bojan Simic Got into Identity and Cybersecurity02:10 - The Elevator Pitch for HYPR04:03 - The Buzz at Authenticate 2025: Passkeys and Securing AI Agents05:29 - The Trend of Continuous "Know Your Employee" (KYE)07:33 - Is Your MFA Program Enough Anymore?09:44 - Hackers Don't Break In, They Log In: The Scattered Spider Threat11:19 - How AI is Scaling Social Engineering Attacks Globally13:08 - When a Breach Happens, Who's on the Hook?

In today's episode of the Build Show Podcast, Matt is joined by master craftsman and builder Brent Hull in the studio. Together they take an honest look at “The Fallacy of Bigger and Better” — a candid conversation on ego, contentment, and what truly defines success in the building world. Drawing on more than three decades of experience each, Matt and Brent reflect on lessons learned, costly mistakes, and the value of growing “low and slow.” They share stories of chasing prestige projects, surviving recessions, and finding fulfillment in craftsmanship over scale. Whether you're an emerging builder or seasoned pro, this episode offers rare insight into building a meaningful business without losing your purpose. From humility to mentorship, it's a thoughtful reminder that bigger isn't always better — and that contentment might just be the smartest business strategy of all.Huge thanks to our podcast sponsor today: Pella.

Episode 3319: Julien Saunders challenges the long-held belief that homeownership is the ultimate symbol of financial success, revealing the hidden costs, inefficiencies, and limitations it often creates. By examining oversized houses, expensive mortgages, underutilized space, and geographic restrictions, he encourages a more intentional approach, buy smaller, avoid unnecessary debt, and prioritize flexibility over blind adherence to the “American Dream.” Read along with the original article(s) here: https://richandregular.com/the-fallacy-of-homeownership/ Quotes to ponder: "If homeownership was such a sure shot to building wealth, wouldn't we know more wealthy people?"
