When it comes to praising God, have you ever found yourself in an awkward position because the language of worship is a foreign language to you. I mean, even the word Hallelujah, someone asked me last week, they said they know it's some kind of praise for God - but what does it actually mean? And, I thought --- yeah, that would have probably been a good idea to define it for you... It's Hebrew for (ready for it?) PRAISE GOD.What happens when you have believers who love God, who believe in God - but when it comes time to express praise and worship to God, they just fall back on something rote, without a lot of meaning to it, and something they may not understand, so they really can't be intentional about it.It's like memorizing the phrases before heading to another country, but not really understanding the language because you aren't fluent in it. In the same way our worship may become more meaningful when we learn to be fluent in our  Hallelujah. Because praise has a vocabulary. Heaven has a language. And God invites us to learn how to speak it. And it comes, first of all, with remembering WHO God is and WHAT He does.

To become fluent in Spanish, you have to learn connecting words! Today we're talking about conjunctions, particularly the words que and y, and how they help hold the whole Spanish language together and create fluent flow. We'll also learn why conjunctions are even more important in Spanish than in English, based on a special rule about Spanish verbs. After this episode, you'll know how to use the most common word in the Spanish language, getting you one step closer to thinking in Spanish.

The Light Gate Welcomes Guest: researcher, experiencer, hypnotherapist, Martin Rivera Date: February 9, 2026 Time: 5-7pm pacific/8-10 pm eastern Episode: 145 Discussion: UFO Encounters, Quantum Hypnotherapy Our guest tonight is UFO researcher, experiencer and Quantum Hypnotherapist Martin Rivera. This is a technique first developed by highly regarded author/researcher Dolores Cannon. Martin has been studying the subject of UFOs & ETs for many years. He uses the technique of Quantum Hypnotherapy to help experiencers remember and process their otherworldly encounters. He is certified in Quantum Healing Hypnosis and Past Lives at the Dolores Cannon Academy in Arkansas. He is a co-founder of "Quantum Balance," a healing arts center with transformational programs based on Long Island, Ny. He also does past life regression therapy (and sometimes a future life,) sound & light healing, emotional healing therapy, pineal gland activation, connecting with your higher self, meeting your spirit guides, accessing your Akashic Records and Reiki healing. Fluent in Spanish, he's translated a number of books into Spanish, including Dolores Cannons "The Custodians," and "Keepers of the Garden" and many others. He has worked with many people, authors and experiencers, aiding them in their journey of spiritual discovery. As he says, "I help you to connect with your higher self for healing mind-body spirit." Many people recall past lives reaching back to Atlantis or Lemuria, or even a past-life as an ET. Others recall ET encounters as young children. The possibilities are endless. And of course, Martin has had some astounding UFO experiences of his own. This is going to be so much fun.

Today, Sam sits down with Steve Hoggle, General Manager at Honda of Lake City and Sarah Copp, Director of Major Accounts at Lotlinx to pull back the curtain on the "Moneyball" strategy of modern automotive retail. While many dealers are still relying on gut instinct and "emotional buying" at auction, the nation's top-performing groups—including the $11 billion Morgan Auto Group—have shifted to a predictive, VIN-specific model. We explore how Honda of Lake City achieved a staggering 4:1 used-to-new sales ratio and why the traditional "channel-first" marketing approach is often a recipe for wasted spend and aged inventory. Learn how to identify "at-risk" vehicles the moment they hit your lot and discover the AI-driven tools that allow managers to see around corners before a car becomes a liability.

Divorce can become significantly more complicated when culture, immigration status, or international law are part of the equation. I'm joined by family law attorney Diana Romanov for a conversation about what happens when divorce crosses cultural and international lines.  Diana brings a rare perspective to this work, shaped by her own immigration journey, her legal training, and practice across multiple countries. Together, we unpack how jurisdiction is determined when spouses live in different countries, how cultural norms shape power and decision-making in divorce, and why custody battles often look very different when one parent has been the primary caregiver for most of the marriage. We also dig into the realities of international relocation with children and how courts decide who can move, who can't, and why. At its core, this is about understanding how power, protection, and parenting are negotiated when the rules are shaped by more than one system. What you'll hear about in this episode: How Diana's international background and lived experience as an immigrant informs the way she practices family law and advocates for clients across cultural lines (2:06) What "jurisdiction" really means in international and cross-border divorce (5:00) How cultural norms around gender roles, finances, and marriage can deeply impact the divorce process (11:05) Strategic realities behind custody negotiations, including when equal timeshare is about optics or money rather than actual parenting (13:08) How international and long-distance custody and relocation cases are evaluated, including the factors courts use to decide whether a parent can move with children (24:46) What parents need to understand about documentation, communication, and evidence in high-conflict and cross-border cases (34:40) ✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here. Learn more about Diana Romanov: Diana Romanov is a San Francisco family law attorney, licensed in California and Germany, and a certified Family Law Specialist. Fluent in English, Russian, and German, she provides counsel, representation, and mediation services across cultural lines.

If you work across time zones, borders, and cultures, this is the show for you. This is your host Leonardo, welcome to The International Business Podcast. AI can now summarise almost anything in seconds. That's powerful, but it makes it easy to stay at the surface. We get headlines, bullet points, "3 key takeaways", and move on. What's lost is context, nuance, and understanding that changes how professionals think and decide in international business. With this new format, host Leonardo Marra pushes in the opposite direction. Instead of a quick AI overview, he built a long‑form deep dive into Japan after 1945: from World War II defeat to economic miracle, bubble, stagnation, and today's super‑aging, innovation‑driven society.Part 1 traces Japan's path from post‑war devastation through U.S. occupation, state‑guided capitalism, keiretsu networks, export‑led growth, oil shocks, the 1980s bubble, and the "lost decades." It links policy, institutions, and social change to Japan's rise and current challenges.Part 2 shifts to practical insights. Guests who live and work in and around Japan share how firms make decisions, how kaizen and relationships function, how demographics reshape strategy, and what foreign executives consistently misunderstand about the Japanese market.--------⁠Join Leonardo on Patreon for Podcast Archive and Bonus episodes (100+ episodes). ⁠--------With guests:Massimiliano Colonna – Director of Communications, Brookings Institution Governance Studies.

What if the calm you feel when you hear birdsong isn't a coincidence, but ancient evolutionary wiring ... a signal that once meant safety? Musical ecologist and rapper Louis VI says humans are hardwired to nature's sonic language, but modern life has drowned it out. He explores how we can tap back into the "overwhelming chorus of aliveness" we've stopped hearing — and performs an original song incorporating rainforest recordings from the Amazon and the Caribbean.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Deirdre Nero discuss:Action can precede clarityGrowth requires delegation, not enduranceAuthenticity strengthens leadership and trustExpertise must be valued to be sustainable Key Takeaways:Starting a firm without certainty can still create momentum and direction. Waiting for perfect readiness delays growth more than risk does.Handling every task personally creates a hard ceiling on scale and sustainability. Hiring support is the necessary step to move beyond survival mode.Hiding core aspects of identity fractures credibility and connection. Openness creates deeper trust, healing, and stronger professional relationships.Giving away high-level knowledge undermines both business viability and professional worth.

Today, we're shedding light—quite literally—on a hidden hazard in the dental operatory: blue light exposure. Dental curing lights have increased in intensity over the past few decades, now delivering up to a staggering 6000 milliwatts per square centimeter. While this shortens curing times, it also means clinicians are exposed to higher doses of blue light in a much shorter period, making it especially dangerous. Even brief exposure can cause retinal damage. What can we do to protect ourselves? Our guest is Dr. Marie Fluent. Dr. Fluent's dental career spans over 35 years and includes all roles within the dental practice. She is passionate and deeply committed to improving dental infection control and clinicians and patient safety. Through her writing, webinars, and invited lectures, she has educated thousands of dental professionals and students nationally and internationally.

You don't communicate just with words. You communicate with presence, tone, and how well you listen. This conversation invites you to slow down and notice how awareness and alignment shape every exchange, whether at home or at work. When you learn to listen without preparing a response, trust starts to build on its own. You also get a clearer look at different communication styles and how simple shifts like using I statements or allowing silence can change the outcome of a conversation. The more you understand yourself, the easier it becomes to meet others where they are. Communication stops being about control and starts becoming a connection.   The Magnetic Leader Workshop on January 4th, 2026.

If money has ever felt heavy, confusing, or out of reach, it's not about your bank account. It's about how you relate to your own value. This conversation challenges the idea that wealth lives outside you and shows how fulfillment, creativity, and self trust shape the opportunities that show up in your life. You hear stories that flip the script, from a mystic who gives away a diamond to a business deal that turns around the moment alignment replaces effort. When you stop questioning your worth and start honoring it, work becomes an exchange of energy, not sacrifice. Wealth follows when you trust yourself enough to receive it.   The Magnetic Leader Workshop on January 4th, 2026.

Your body is always listening to your thoughts. When your mind is rushed or stressed, digestion slows and energy drops. When you slow down, listen inward, and act with gratitude, your body responds. This conversation explores how coherence and alignment shape your health more than any single protocol or plan. You hear how breath, visualization, and imagination can shift your nervous system and unlock real physical change. The brain becomes your own pharmacy, guided by neuroplasticity and inner knowing rather than outside noise. When you trust yourself and practice presence, health stops being something you chase and starts being something you create.   The Magnetic Leader Workshop on January 4th, 2026.

Born in Taiwan, raised in Austria, and educated in Europe and America, Pianist Jenny Lin has built a vibrant international career, notable for innovative collaborations with a range of artists and creators. In recent seasons, Jenny has performances – both digital, and in person – for Washington Performing Arts; at Hudson Hall performing the American premiere of William Bolcom's Suite of Preludes; at Boston Conservatory's piano series; at Little Island in NYC; and at Winnipeg New Music Festival. She now serves as director of music for The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC.Recently, she performed a recital of Philip Glass's music for the Morris Museum – a continuation of a close collaboration with Glass, with whom she has appeared regularly since 2014.  This experience has inspired the creation of her own commissioning initiative, The Etudes Project, in which she works with a range of living composers to create new technical piano etudes, pairing each new piece with an existing etude from the classical canon.  Her catalogue includes more than 50 albums.A passionate advocate for education, Jenny created “Melody's Mostly Musical Day“, a musical album and picture book for children, following the adventures of an imaginative little girl from breakfast to bedtime, told in a collection of 26 classical piano works from Mozart to Gershwin.  We'll hear some of these in this episode.Fluent in English, German, Mandarin, and French, Jenny Lin studied Noel Flores at the Hochschule für Musik in Vienna, with Julian Martin at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, and with Dominique Weber in Geneva. She has also worked with Leon Fleisher, Richard Goode, and Blanca Uribe, and at Italy's Fondazione Internazionale per il pianoforte with Dimitri Bashkirov and Andreas Staier. In addition to her musical studies, Lin holds a bachelor's degree in German Literature from The Johns Hopkins University. Jenny Lin currently resides with her family in New York City and serves on the faculty of Mannes College The New School for Music.

In this episode, we explore the power of the Inner Teacher—the gentle, loving inner guidance that reconnects you to your own truth. Rather than searching externally for answers, true alignment comes from turning inward and learning to deeply listen. We break down how intuition is an inner knowing that arrives softly and quickly, often felt in the gut or heart, and how the mind tends to overtake it when we don't listen. The conversation highlights why inner guidance is essential for coherence, alignment, and living in flow. We also reframe manifestation, shifting it from "doing more" to a state of remembering and alignment—recognizing that what you seek already exists within you. True healing and peace come from addressing not just the physical body, but also the mind, spirit, and energy. Finally, we share simple practices to help you reconnect with your inner truth, relax your nervous system, and access intuitive guidance more easily.

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with global venture capitalist Alex Lazarow, founder of Fluent Ventures, to unpack the future of early-stage investing as AI, globalization, and shifting economic forces reshape the startup landscape. Alex brings a rare perspective shaped by 20+ markets across Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, plus experience backing seven unicorns, from Chime to breakout fintechs worldwide.Alex shares insights from his unconventional path from academia-curious economist to McKinsey consultant, impact investor at Omidyar Network, partner at global firm Cathay Innovation, and now solo GP building a research-driven, globally distributed early-stage fund. He dives into why the best startup ideas no longer come from one geography, why AI has permanently rewritten the cost structure of company building, and how proven business models are being successfully reinvented in emerging markets and then exported back to the U.S.He also breaks down why small businesses may become more powerful than ever, the rise of “camel startups,” and what founders everywhere must understand about raising capital in a world where early traction matters more than ever.Whether you are a founder, operator, or investor navigating the next era of innovation, this conversation reveals how global patterns, AI tailwinds, and disciplined research can uncover tomorrow's winners.From Winnipeg to Wall Street: Early Career Lessons (00:01:17)* Alex reflects on growing up in Winnipeg and navigating a multicultural family background.* How early roles at RBC M&A and the Bank of Canada shaped his analytical lens.* Why he pursued economics, consulting, and academia before landing in venture.* The value of testing career hypotheses instead of blindly following one path.Building a Global Perspective Through McKinsey (00:06:42)* Alex describes working in 20 markets, from Tunisia during the revolution to Indonesia and Brazil.* Why exposure to varied cultures and economies sharpened his ability to spot emerging global patterns.* The framework he used to choose projects: people, content, geography.Entering Venture Through Impact Investing (00:08:05)* Joining Omidyar Network to explore fintech innovation and financial inclusion.* Early exposure to global mobile banking and super-app models.* The origin story behind investing in Chime.* Why mission-driven investing shaped his lifelong global investment thesis.Scaling Globally at Cathay Innovation (00:13:14)* Transitioning into a traditional VC role after Omidyar.* Helping scale Cathay from a $287M fund to nearly $1B.* Why he eventually left to build a more focused, research-driven early-stage fund.The Fluent Ventures Thesis: Proven Models, Global Arbitrage (00:16:45)* Fluent backs founders who take validated business models and execute them in new geographies or industries.* Investing between pre-seed and Series A with a tightly defined “10 business model portfolio.”* Why their TAM is intentionally much smaller, only 200–500 companies worth meeting each quarter.* Leveraging a network of 50 unicorn founders and global VCs to discover breakout teams early.Why AI Is Reshaping Early-Stage Investing (00:23:01)* AI has dramatically reduced the cost of building early products.* Increasingly, startups raise capital after launching revenue not before.* The new risk: foundational AI models may “eat” many SaaS products.* What types of companies will survive AI disruption.The Camel Startup & The Great Diffusion (00:28:14)* The “camel startup” concept: resilient, capital-efficient companies built outside Silicon Valley norms.* How software (and now AI) lets small companies “rent scale” once only available to big enterprises.* Why the next decade will favor startups that focus on durability, not blitzscaling.Why Silicon Valley Still Matters, Even for Global Founders (00:32:47)* Alex encourages founders to build in their home markets but visit Silicon Valley to raise capital and absorb cutting-edge ideas.* How one founder raised SF-level valuations while building in the Midwest.* The “global arbitrage” advantage: raise capital where it's abundant, build where costs are low.Where Global Markets Are Leading Innovation (00:35:41)* Why Japan is 5–10 years ahead in generational small-business transitions.Examples of B2B marketplace models thriving in India and now being imported to the U.S.* How construction marketplaces, industrial marketplaces, and embedded fintech platforms are spreading across continents.About Alex LazarowAlex Lazarow is the founder and Managing Partner of Fluent Ventures, an early-stage global venture fund investing in proven business models across fintech, commerce enablement, and digital health.

From Battlefield to Boardroom: A Global Legacy of Courage, Compassion & Leadership This week, the Team Never Quit Podcast welcomes a truly extraordinary guest: Dr. Sudip Bose — emergency physician, Iraq War veteran, entrepreneur, medical innovator, and one of the world's most dynamic voices at the intersection of medicine, military leadership, and business. Few leaders embody resilience and global perspective the way Dr. Bose does. His story spans continents, combat zones, emergency rooms, and corporate boardrooms—all shaped by deep heritage and a lifelong commitment to service. A Legacy Rooted in Courage and Heritage Born in the United States to parents who emigrated from Kolkata, Dr. Bose carries a powerful cultural heritage. Fluent in Bengali and proud of his lineage, he is a descendant of: ·         Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, legendary freedom fighter ·         Jagadish Chandra Bose, pioneering scientist ·         Satyendra Nath Bose, the physicist behind the concept of bosons Their spirit of bravery, intellectual curiosity, and innovation lives on in Dr. Bose's own journey. Leadership Forged in War Dr. Bose's leadership was tested early—on the front lines of Iraq as a U.S. Army physician under the most intense combat conditions. He earned the Bronze Star Medal for his service and was entrusted with treating Saddam Hussein after his capture. More than the accolades, the battlefield taught him the principles that guide his life: ·         Stay calm when others panic ·         Find clarity in chaos ·         Turn adversity into opportunity ·         Let heritage and values anchor global impact These lessons follow him into every trauma bay, boardroom, and keynote stage he steps into today. From the ER to the Global Stage After returning from combat, Dr. Bose transitioned into civilian life—continuing his work as an emergency physician while expanding his influence across medicine, media, innovation, and policy.

In this episode you will hear: • [My sister] She's a CEO but sometimes she's the CEO of my chaos. (7:46) • I basically started med school at 21; I got my MD at 25. (8:59) • I remember sitting with my dad and asking him: “What can I do where I don't have to study?” (10:58) • Things that are just tragic and sad; they shape you later. You don't realize it at the time. (11:47) • I think if they had an award in high school for least likely to go in the military, I might have gotten that award. Guess what? In Junior high – 6th grade – I weighed 49 pounds. I was tiny. I didn't hit 5' tall until my sophomore year of high school. (12:33) • I'm in the books as the Illinois state champion in wrestling, because nobody could match my weight division. (13:11) • You don't realize how your world can change in a moment, and what seems like irrelevant work or homework or assignments later in life might save your life. (16:32) • In Iraq, I find myself cooped up in this ambulance. An armored 5-7-7 track medical vehicle with metal wheels, jostling to the next section of Bagdad or Fallujah and then the vehicle comes to a screeching halt, the back door opens and you hop out like a frog jumping out of a blender. And you find yourself on the front lines of the battlefield. (21:33) • There are the mental challenges of losing people you know. (22:52) • You love [life] saves where you can have them unite with their family. (27:11) • Within hours of getting there, there were two soldiers that came in and I had to pronounce dead. You just realize, wow, you are in it now. (31:19) • You cant take care of everyone, but by training my medics, I multiplied myself. (34:02) • [Marcus] You scored the number 1 in the nation on your medical exam board; You scored at the top of the Army physical fitness test; A Bronze Star; Recognized by CNN as a CNN hero; You're one of the leading physicians in the world; [You served] The longest combat tour since WWII; You treated Saddam Hussein. (52:26) • I evaluated [Saddam Hussein] shortly after his capture. (56:10) • You have to put your feelings, emotions, everything side, so you can focus. (57:45) • Somebody told me I might be the only person who has ben face to face with Saddam Hussein and shaken hands with George W. Bush. (58:38) • The people who gave their lives, their vision, their limb, made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Those people wrote the blank check, up to and including the cost of my life. That's what keeps me motivated. (59:48) • The journey keeps going forward and the battle continues… (75:55) Support Dr. Bose:    - Website: https://www.docbose.com/    - IG: https://www.instagram.com/drsudipbose?igsh=MWZhbjJqNXNxazk2aA==    - Watch “Desert Doc” —>  https://tr.ee/Wds2TOBWTP    - YouTube —> https://tr.ee/DlNDNGdGo0 Support TNQ   - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13   -  https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquit Sponsors:   - Tractorsupply.com/hometownheroes   - Navyfederal.org        - mizzenandmain.com   [Promo code: TNQ20] - Dripdrop.com/TNQ   - ShopMando.com [Promo code: TNQ]   - meetfabiric.com/TNQ   - masterclass.com/TNQ   - Prizepicks (TNQ)   -  cargurus.com/TNQ    - armslist.com/TNQ    -  PXGapparel.com/TNQ   - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ    - Groundnews.com/TNQ    - shipsticks.com/TNQ    - stopboxusa.com {TNQ}    - ghostbed.com/TNQ [TNQ]   -  kalshi.com/TNQ   -  joinbilt.com/TNQ    - Tonal.com [TNQ]   - greenlight.com/TNQ   - PDSDebt.com/TNQ   - drinkAG1.com/TNQ   - Hims.com/TNQ   - Shopify.com/TNQ
