In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I would start an online business from zero in 2026. Whether you're just thinking about launching your first offer or feeling overwhelmed by all the “build it all at once” advice, this episode simplifies everything into a clear, step-by-step process that actually works. I break down the seven essential steps I focus on — from choosing the right offer and getting clarity on the transformation it provides, to making early sales before the product is fully built and leaning into real relationships and community. If you want a practical, no-nonsense roadmap to kickstart your online business, this episode is for you.

What if a “wrong” answer tells you more than a correct one? In today's episode, we sit down with Dr. Derek Briggs, professor of educational assessment at the University of Colorado Boulder, to unpack why assessment should go beyond testing, and instead focus on progress over mastery. Derek shows how context and thinking processes matter just as much as outcomes, and why mastery is not always simply laid out. To support a deeper understanding of progress, we explore a roadmap for measuring growth throughout your day-to-day. Start with a clear baseline, define where students are headed, and chart the route with smart, formative checkpoints. Derek shares an approach to “triage with intention”: use periodic measures to inform flexible grouping, then rotate focused attention across groups so support stays equitable. Derek also shares the power of strategic questioning, including entry and exit tickets. Over time, these small insights into a student's depth of knowledge add up to a clear picture that guides instruction.Derek goes on to discuss the power of community. Inside the classroom, heterogeneous groups help students model strategies, language, and persistence for one another. Across the school, teachers who bring open-ended student work to the table can discuss expectations, co-create rubrics, and see patterns that single classrooms miss. And when families understand the learning goals and what quality work looks like, home practice becomes purposeful and encouraging. The result is a culture where curiosity replaces judgment, students take ownership of growth, and assessment becomes a daily driver of learning.Read the blog: CurriculumAssociates.com/blog/Follow us on Twitter: @CurriculumAssocFollow us on Instagram: @MyiReadyHave feedback, questions, or want to be a guest?

Focusing on the most salacious elements of the Epstein scandal—photos, social associations, provocative rumors, and unverifiable claims—ultimately obscures the most consequential aspects of the case. While those details draw attention, they are often difficult to substantiate and easy for powerful figures to dismiss as tabloid sensationalism or partisan hysteria. This dynamic allows individuals like Donald Trump to deflect scrutiny by arguing that critics are obsessed with gossip rather than facts. When the public debate centers on what cannot be conclusively proven, it weakens legitimate inquiries and shifts attention away from demonstrable conduct such as institutional obstruction, delayed disclosures, and efforts to limit transparency. In effect, sensationalism becomes a shield rather than a weapon, blurring the line between serious investigation and speculative outrage.More importantly, an overemphasis on salacious claims gives cover to those seeking to bury the scandal altogether. By encouraging critics to overreach, it allows defenders to collapse the entire Epstein issue into a debate about conspiracy theories rather than accountability. The most critical elements of the scandal—the use of power to suppress records, resist subpoenas, control narratives, and prevent full public disclosure—are procedural and often unglamorous, but they are also provable. History shows that major reckonings rarely begin with the most shocking allegations; they begin with exposing cover-ups, paper trails, and institutional misconduct. When attention is redirected away from obstruction and toward spectacle, it delays accountability and helps ensure that Epstein's network remains protected long after the crimes themselves are no longer in dispute.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The holidays can feel overwhelming—shopping, decorating, cooking, and trying to create picture-perfect moments. Yet Scripture reminds us that amid the chaos, the true gift of Christmas is Christ Himself. Just as Mary gave birth in a humble stable without the comforts she expected, we too are called to make room for Jesus in the midst of our busy, stressful seasons (Luke 2:7). By simplifying, prioritizing, and focusing on His presence, we discover that the peace and joy of Christmas don’t come from perfection—they come from Him. Highlights Holiday stress often overshadows the true purpose of Christmas: celebrating Jesus’ birth. Mary’s humble circumstances remind us that God’s plans don’t rely on comfort or convenience. Simplifying holiday tasks—limiting gifts, delegating meals, reducing activities—can create space for Christ. Focusing on Jesus transforms ordinary moments into meaningful celebrations. Gratitude for God’s provision, even amid financial or personal challenges, brings peace. Small adjustments in expectations allow families to experience joy without unnecessary stress. Making intentional space for Christ is the ultimate gift we can give ourselves and others. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season? Check out our Holiday Gift Guide—from beautifully illustrated Bibles and devotionals to novels, greeting cards, and picture books, there’s something for everyone on your list. Wrap up stories for loved ones, tuck a book into your own nightstand, and join us in celebrating the wonder of giving this Christmas! Full Transcript Below: Preparing Him Room: Making Space for Christ This ChristmasBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“…and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.” - Luke 2:7 It was all too much to bear. When my kids were little, they talked about what they wanted for Christmas for months. They made their list for Santa, wrote him letters, and even dropped it in the mailbox. As a mother, I would do anything to give them the perfect Christmas. I made sure they got everything they asked for, even if it meant starting early and taking money out of our paycheck each week to save for Christmas presents. But one year, my husband was planting a church, and finances were just too tight. I did my best to get the kids the presents that they wanted. But with all the wrapping, shopping, and a full-time job, while my husband was church planting, it added more stress to my life than I cared to admit. Although it was a magical moment to watch my kids open gifts on Christmas morning, the stress and irritation of all the preparation beforehand made it feel as if it simply wasn't worth it. I was putting all this stress on myself to write Christmas cards, decorate the house, and care for my children, in addition to working at a daycare where I cared for two- and three-year-olds all day long, only to come home to my own set of two- and three-year-olds. This would be enough to make anyone feel the extra weight of stress. Compelled by the idea of giving my kids the perfect Christmas, I stressed myself out, worrying about finances and spending all my extra time wrapping presents and writing cards. When Christmas Day came, I had created a holiday that would have made even Norman Rockwell jealous. But it was missing one thing: Jesus. Although my family and I attended Christmas Eve services, my kids lit candles, sang songs, and watched Christmas specials, it felt as if Jesus was missing from the holiday. Because it was so focused on the moment of opening gifts and getting my family what they wanted for Christmas, it felt as if I had wasted all my time and energy creating a magical moment that would only last a moment. Because of all the stress, I had laid aside my quiet time with the Lord, neglected to pray, and hadn't picked up my Bible in months. For a holiday that should be focused on the actual reason for this season, I had forgotten to make space for Christ. Maybe you can relate to the story above. All the Christmas wrapping, giving, and writing Christmas cards may seem too much to bear during the holiday season for you as well. Maybe buying gifts, long lines at the store, mounting traffic, and increasingly mean people seem like too much stress for you to bear, too. But it doesn't have to be this way. Mary experienced a similar situation. As she made the long travel, heavy in the throes of labor, I imagine she expected a comfortable room with which to give birth. But when she found out that there was no room at the inn, her expectations quickly shattered. But Mary didn't give in to the stress or leave God out of her situation. Instead, she made the best of what she had. She traveled to a nearby stable and, in less-than-ideal conditions, gave birth to our Savior, who, in turn, has given generations eternal life. Although Mary's situation was less than ideal, she still completed her ultimate purpose. The Christmas story can give us hope that, despite what we might be going through —financial struggles, health crises, loss of loved ones, etc.—we can find hope. While our situation for the holidays seems less than spectacular, we can make do with what God has given us. There's no better time than the Christmas season to give thanks for all that God has done. Minimize Christmas shopping this year. Opt to give gift cards rather than wrapping a bunch of presents. Limit the number of gifts you give to each person. Explain to them that finances are too tight this year, and the stress is just too much. Your stressful situation can quickly become less so with a bit of understanding and compassion from your family members. Ask family members to pitch in this year by giving food for the holiday meal, or skip hosting the traditional holiday meal and go out for dinner instead. Whatever you need to do to make the best of your holiday situation, take Mary's example and don't forget the ultimate purpose of why we celebrate Christmas. Father, let us be people who make space for you during the holiday season. Let us not crowd you out with copious amounts of gifts, wrapping, and decorating. Instead, let us remember the ultimate gift you have given us and live our lives knowing that we have already received the best gift of all. Amen.

David Ackert is making a list and checking it twice — but he's no Santa Claus. The gifts he brings are practical, powerful insights for professionals who want to grow their businesses and advance their careers. As co-founder and CEO of Ackert, Inc. and its subsidiary, PipelinePlus, David challenges the long-held belief that success depends on building a massive network of connections. In his view, quantity is a distraction. What truly matters is cultivating a small, carefully curated list of 9 to 30 "high-value" relationships — the people who have the greatest likelihood of helping you reach your goals. Everyone else? Send them a Christmas card. David is the author of The Short List: How to Drive Business Development by Focusing on the People Who Matter Most, an Amazon bestseller and Gold Winner of the 2025 Nonfiction Book Awards. This week on Monday Morning Radio, he explains how to identify and prioritize the relationships that matter most, how to gracefully prune an overgrown network, and how to create meaningful new connections — even with influential strangers. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Why Focus on Soft Skills?While hard skills (technical knowledge, grades, degrees) may get a student an interview, soft skills are what get them the job—and help them keep it. In today's dynamic environment, technical skills can become outdated quickly, but soft skills like adaptability, empathy, and clear communication are timeless. Focusing on these allows a student to navigate complex work environments, build meaningful relationships, and lead with influence rather than just authority.If a student has limited time, they should prioritize these three pillars of soft skills:It is not enough to speak fluent English or have good vocabulary. The focus should be on Clarity and Reception.Active Listening: The ability to listen to understand, not just to reply.Non-Verbal Cues: Understanding body language, eye contact, and tone of voice.Written Communication: Drafting clear, concise, and professional emails and messages.This is the ability to understand one's own emotions and the emotions of others.Empathy: Can the student put themselves in someone else's shoes?Self-Regulation: Can they remain calm under pressure or when receiving negative feedback?Social Awareness: Reading the "room" and adjusting behavior accordingly.Employers look for people who can find solutions, not just report problems.Analytical Thinking: Breaking a big problem into smaller, manageable parts.Creativity: Thinking outside the box when standard methods fail.Decisiveness: Making a choice based on available information, even if it's incomplete.Core Areas to Focus On1. Communication (Beyond just "Speaking")2. Emotional Intelligence (EQ)3. Critical Thinking & Problem Solving

In the midst of colorful creations made from old plastic bottles cut to resemble feathers and even lampshades, a tour guide at the New Orleans museum shared the thinking behind the use of such material. “For a city that’s had such hardship, we’ve also learned to use what we have to create joy and beauty. We don’t focus only on the hard times; we celebrate the resilience.” Nehemiah and the Israelites also faced hardship but resiliently pressed on in God’s joy. They’d been captured and taken away from their home, and at last were able to return to Jerusalem from exile (Nehemiah 4:7-12). But upon arriving, they still faced opposition to rebuild the wall that protected Jerusalem (Nehemiah 6). Even after the wall was completed and they gathered for a celebration, hearing the words of God’s law, their spirits were heavy. They were “weeping as they listened” (8:9). But Nehemiah reminded them that they could find joy and strength in God—remembering who He was and what He’d brought them through. Nehemiah told them, “The joy of the Lord is your strength” (v. 10). Focusing on God can give us joy and strength too, especially when our circumstances seem dire. God’s ability, character, and the Scriptures can renew our minds and bring us joy (v. 12)—providing the strength and resilience we need.

“A lot of things become possible when [the nation state] is not the only framework,” Melissa Byrnes reminds us in this deeply intimate local history of North African migrants in France. In this conversation about her new book, Making Space: Neighbors, Officials, and North African Migrants in the Suburbs of Paris and Lyon (U Nebraska Press, 2024) we learn about how questions Byrnes had about how we live with difference in our own communities brought her to this research on the suburbs of French cities in the dwindling decades of French imperialism. Focusing on four French suburbs from the 1950s to the 1970s, Byrnes examines how local officials – from mayors and city councilors to religious leaders to those operating public housing units – talked about North African migrants and the problems and opportunities of migration. In tracing the motivations of these French officials and local leaders, Byrnes examines what she calls “locally lived migration policies” to see how communities tried to make space for their neighbors against the backdrop of a national housing crisis, divergent political ideologies, and decolonization. Melissa K. Byrnes is professor of modern European and world history at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Her research focuses on migration and activism in the context of French imperialism and decolonization and she previously coedited a volume on the colonial politics of population.

BREAKING THE FALSE REALITY — FOCUSING YOUR MIND ON GOD'S TRUTH • Sunday Service ebsite: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give There is a fierce war over the mind in this hour. The enemy builds false realities, mental prisons shaped by fear, shame, distraction, and deception. These false constructs are designed to keep you from seeing what is actually true in the Kingdom of God. But the Lord calls His people to walk in clarity, truth, and spiritual perception—not illusion. Today, we expose the lies and lift up the truth. We tear down the constructs of the enemy and align our minds with God's reality. 1. Romans 12:2 (NKJV) “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” 2. 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (NKJV) “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” 3. Isaiah 8:12 (NKJV) “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,' Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” 4. Romans 1:21 (NKJV) “Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” 5. John 8:32 (NKJV) “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 6. Philippians 4:8 (NKJV) “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” 7. Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” 8. Colossians 3:2 (NKJV) “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” 9. 1 Peter 1:13 (NKJV) “Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 10. Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” The enemy wants to trap you in a false reality — one built on fear, rumor, assumptions, imaginations, and cultural deception. But God calls you into His reality — one grounded in truth, clarity, authority, and identity. Today, God invites you to: • Break the false constructs • Reject conspiracy-driven fear • Cast down vain imaginations • Renew your mind in truth • Focus your thoughts on what is real, eternal, and God-centered When your mind aligns with the Word of God, every lie loses its power, every illusion falls, and you step boldly into the freedom Jesus already purchased for you.

Top Ways a Stoic Mindset Supports Effective Management & Leadership — The Positives and the PitfallsIn this episode, we dive deep into how a stoic mindset can transform modern leadership — helping managers stay calm, make better decisions, and inspire trust. But we also explore the lesser-known pitfalls: where stoicism, taken too far, can create barriers, reduce empathy, or slow progress.We break down the top 10 ways stoicism influences leadership, looking at both sides of the coin:1. Emotional Control Under Pressure How staying calm boosts confidence and clarity — and how appearing too detached can damage connection.2. Focusing on What You Can Control Why directing energy toward the controllable improves results — but can also lead to passive acceptance if misapplied.3. Consistency and Reliability The power of predictability in fast-moving environments — and the risk of slipping into rigidity.4. Improved Decision-Making How stoic analysis cuts through noise — and why over-thinking can signal a lack of urgency.5. Resilience to Setbacks Using adversity as fuel for growth — while avoiding the trap of seeming emotionally unaffected.6. Strong Personal Accountability How owning your actions creates integrity — but may tip into burnout if leaders take on too much.7. Values-Driven Leadership Why wisdom, courage, fairness, and humility build strong cultures — and why rigid moral ideals can slow collaboration.8. Better Conflict Management Staying objective to de-escalate tension — without drifting into emotional neutrality that feels dismissive.9. Reduced Stress and Burnout Stoic acceptance helps leaders stay centred — yet can stop them from asking for help when needed.10. Long-Term Thinking Strategic clarity for the future — balanced against the need for quick wins that energise teams.In SummaryA stoic mindset can be a powerful foundation for leadership — promoting calmness, clarity, resilience, and rational decision-making. But like any approach, it has a shadow side. Effective leaders blend stoicism with empathy, communication, and adaptability to build strong, human-centred teams.Please send any feedback or questions to managermattpodcast@gmail.com

Governor Wes Moore is back—and this time, the stakes are even higher. As Trump tests the limits of presidential power, perhaps the most exciting and inspiring Governor in America joins Paul Rieckhoff to explain how far the White House can really go in deploying the National Guard into American cities, what is and is not a “lawful order,” and how governors can (and must) hold the line. From war-crime allegations to loose talk about striking Venezuela, Moore lays out what responsible, principled leadership looks like when America's global reputation is collapsing fast.​ Recorded during Army–Navy week, Paul and Wes dig into why that game should be “mandatory viewing” for anyone who wants to understand real patriotism, service, and brotherhood. Moore talks candidly about his role as commander in chief of Maryland's Guard, what he'd do if he were president right now, and why he sees himself as a “healer” for all 6.5 million Marylanders—not a partisan warrior.​ They also dive deep on Moore's pioneering work with men and boys—from getting more men into classrooms and hospitals to building healthier models of masculinity that steer young guys away from grievance and extremism. Moore explains how Maryland went from 43rd in unemployment to one of the lowest jobless rates in America, cut violent crime and teacher shortages, and launched a first-in-the-nation “Feds to Eds” program that turns fired federal workers into urgently needed teachers.​ And, talks openly about the struggles of his beloved Baltimore Ravens.  Plus, Paul opens the show hitting the hottest stories: Trump's refusal to release the December 2nd boat strike video, the latest on Ukraine's fight and Zelensky's resolve, the Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury files, RFK Jr.'s pull-up stunts, Nancy Mace's TSA tirade, Golden Globe snubs, and a wild NFL Monday night. And they both close with “Something Good”—that'll leave you feeling warm for the holidays and more hopeful about the days ahead.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

This episode features host Greg and Lewis Ward discussing the true nature of virtual worlds with Wagner James Au, author of Making a Metaverse That Matters, exploring the core design, economic, and community philosophies of successful platforms.SummaryThe discussion defines the metaverse as a vast, immersive virtual world with five core features, including highly customizable avatars and a link to the real-world economy . Au argues that to succeed, a platform must be fun immediately in a multiplayer context, operating as a "third space" where socialization is easy . He contends that Mark Zuckerberg's approach damaged the ideal of the metaverse by focusing too much on hardware and ignoring crucial lessons on community and regulation . The history of Second Life (SL) serves as a critical case study, showing that while strong community allows a platform to survive economic crises and bad onboarding, financial stability requires tightly regulated markets, learned through scandals like the implosion of virtual banks and the ban on unregulated gambling . Ultimately, the key to a thriving metaverse is prioritizing community, fostering diversity, and making creation easy .Key PointsCore Metaverse Definition A true metaverse is defined by Immersiveness, Customization (avatars/tools), Scale (millions of people), a Real-World Economy Link, and Off-World Tech Integration (for accessibility) .Identity and Design Avatars and Identity (05:51): Highly customizable avatars are critical for users to experiment with identity and personality . The Proteus Effect shows that an appealing avatar can boost real-world confidence. The "Fun First" Rule (15:40): Metaverse experiences must be fun immediately in a multiplayer setting (the Third Space concept) . This is why Roblox and Fortnite succeed. Meta's Misstep (10:26): Mark Zuckerberg caused "tremendous damage" to the concept by defining it around the Quest headset and ignoring lessons on managing toxic behavior, like the initial sexual harassment incidents on Horizon Worlds .Economics and Stability Community Precedes Commerce (29:44): Platforms must succeed as communities first. Focusing only on profit (the "Cryptoverse" issue) causes virtual worlds to fail . Second Life's Stability (22:31): SL's active user base is stable at 600,000. The paradox is that if a user survives the long onboarding, they "never leave" due to the community. Regulation is Necessary (40:53): SL's banking and gambling scandals forced Linden Lab to impose tight regulation . This proves that a tightly regulated economy is essential for user trust and stability.Timestamps 03:30 The Five Core Features of the Metaverse 05:51 Avatars and the "Proteus Effect" 10:26 Why Meta Damaged the Metaverse Concept 15:40 The Critical Rule: Why Metaverse Must Be Fun First 22:31 Second Life's Paradox: Why users never leaveReferencesMaking a Metaverse That MattersWagner James Au Lewis Ward Greg PosnerCheck out Player Driven
