"My career is not a straight path; it's a lot of happenstance where I just sort of somehow get a job and then figure out how to do it once I'm there," says Rachel Hartigan, author of Lost: Amelia Earhart's Three Mysterious Deaths and One Extraordinary Life.Today we have Rachel Hartigan, who, yes, is dignified and reputable. She's the author of Lost: Amelia Earhart's Three Mysterious Deaths and One Extraordinary Life. It's published by Nat Geo.We share an agent, so that was how her book got on my radar. If you're a relative newb to the Amelia Earhart story, Rachel's book is a riveting take on the three main theories of Earhart's tragic death either by castaway, captive, or having sunk at sea in her beautiful Lockheed Electra. Rachel weaves together all these theories with a lean, propulsive biography of a woman far ahead of her time.She's written about everything from the genetics of persimmon trees to the long road to women's suffrage for National Geographic. She is the former editor of the Washington Post's Book World and she has also covered education and culture for U.S News & World Report. You can learn more about her at rachelhartiganauthor.com.

Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter analyzes the president's recent address regarding the 2020 election, calling it a strategic narrative designed to insulate himself against potential midterm losses.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Howard Hewett. Rushion McDonald invited legendary R&B vocalist Howard Hewett to share the lessons behind his four-decade music career, focusing on perseverance, preparation, personal vision, integrity, and long-term success. The conversation was designed not only for music fans, but also for entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals seeking insight into how sustained success is built over time. The interview blends Howard's personal journey—from Akron, Ohio, to becoming the lead voice of Shalamar—with practical life and business principles that helped him remain relevant and respected throughout his career. Executive Summary Howard Hewett reflected on his early years as a performer, the unexpected opportunity that led to his joining Shalamar, and the mindset that enabled him to capitalize on life-changing opportunities. He emphasized that success is rarely accidental; it comes from preparation, visualization, discipline, and maintaining integrity. A major theme throughout the interview was that individuals must prepare for opportunities long before they arrive. Hewett explained how years of practice and dedication allowed him to seize the moment when an audition unexpectedly presented itself, eventually launching him into one of R&B's most successful groups. Key Takeaways 1. Preparation Creates Opportunity Howard stressed that talent alone is not enough. Success occurs when preparation meets opportunity. He spent years singing and performing before receiving his breakthrough. When the opportunity to audition for Shalamar arrived, he was ready because he had already done the work. Being "ready" often matters more than being lucky. Business Lesson: Continuous preparation allows people to act decisively when opportunities appear. 2. Visualization Is Powerful Howard discussed the importance of mentally seeing success before it happens. After moving to California, he regularly visualized performing in front of thousands of people. He imagined achieving professional goals long before they became reality. Visualization strengthened his confidence and focus. Business Lesson: Successful people often create a clear vision of their future and work consistently toward it. 3. Your Reputation Matters Throughout the conversation, Howard highlighted the value of character and professionalism. Relationships in the entertainment industry were built on trust. Integrity helped sustain a career that has lasted more than 40 years. Success without character is difficult to maintain. Business Lesson: Reputation is one of the most valuable assets a person can possess. 4. Stay Ready for Unexpected Opportunities One of the most compelling stories involved how Howard joined Shalamar. He received an unexpected phone call while at the Motown building. He auditioned shortly afterward. Within days, he had joined the group and was performing on television. The rapid sequence of events showed how quickly life can change when preparation meets opportunity. Business Lesson: Major breakthroughs often arrive with little warning. 5. Longevity Requires Adaptability Howard's career has spanned multiple generations of music fans. He discussed evolving with the industry while maintaining authenticity. He recognized the importance of growth without losing his artistic identity. Longevity comes from balancing innovation with consistency. Business Lesson: The ability to adapt is essential for sustained success. 6. Believe in Yourself Before Others Do Howard spoke about having confidence in his abilities long before widespread recognition. Self-belief helped him persevere through challenges and uncertainty. Confidence strengthened his willingness to pursue ambitious goals. External success followed an internal commitment to excellence. Business Lesson: Confidence and vision often precede achievement. Notable Quotes & Memorable Messages The interview centered around several recurring themes that Howard expressed throughout the conversation: "Preparation turns opportunity into success." "You have to be ready when the door opens." "Visualization helps create the life you want to live." "Integrity is something nobody can take away from you." "Don't wait for opportunity—prepare for it." "Success starts with believing in yourself." "Always be ready because your opportunity can come when you least expect it." Overall Message The interview was ultimately a masterclass on preparation, vision, self-belief, and longevity. Howard Hewett's story demonstrates that sustained success is not built on luck alone. It comes from years of disciplined preparation, maintaining strong values, visualizing success, and being ready when opportunity arrives. For entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals alike, his message was clear: Stay prepared, protect your integrity, believe in your vision, and be ready when opportunity knocks. #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, host Mike Horne talks with returning guest Norm Jones, CEO of Integrated Diversity, about how organizations can move beyond surface-level diversity metrics to create truly inclusive cultures that drive performance and sustainability. Discover actionable strategies to embed DEI into core business processes and decision-making.   Key Points: Organizations often misunderstand diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and how it enhances core work. It is crucial to integrate DEI into organizational strategy rather than treating it as peripheral or separate initiatives. Focusing solely on demographic representation can hinder real inclusion and cultural shifts. Diverse perspectives have the transformative power to enhance organizational culture and innovation. Inclusion should be viewed as a journey rather than a static goal, emphasizing ongoing reflection and adaptation. Leaders can take immediate actions, such as fostering conversations about wants and needs at work, to strengthen relationships and performance.   Links:  Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Learn More About Executive and Organization Development with Mike Horne Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikehorneauthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikehorneauthor/,  LinkedIn Mike's Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6867258581922799617/,  Schedule a Discovery Call with Mike: https://calendly.com/mikehorne/15-minute-discovery-call-with-mike     Learn More about Norm Jones: https://www.normjonesphd.com/ integrateddiversity.org

Pastor Dominic continues our sermon series in the Gospel of Matthew, preaching from Matthew 17:1-13. In this message, he examines the pivotal moment of the Transfiguration, where Jesus reveals His divine glory to Peter, James, and John. Focusing on the significance of this encounter, Pastor Dominic explores five key lessons from the Transfiguration that shape how we view Jesus, how we walk in faith, and the importance of listening to His voice above all others. As we navigate a world full of competing voices, this passage reminds us that everything in Scripture ultimately points to Jesus, who is our redeemer, our savior, and the only foundation upon which we can build our lives.

An unsettling exploration of the persistence of racism in reproductive healthcare in the US—and why even affluent Black women are imperiled by substandard care.From a leading expert on race, class, maternal health, and reproductive rights.Racism in maternal healthcare is not reserved for the poor. An unsparing picture of inequities in prenatal care and childbirth in the United States, Expecting Inequity: How the Maternal Health Crisis Affects Even the Wealthiest Black Americans (MIT Press, 2026) reveals that not only are black people three to four times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause, but racial disparities in maternal mortality persist across income levels. That is, wealthier black people are much more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period than their white counterparts. Focusing on a San Francisco obstetrics clinic that caters to the affluent, Khiara Bridges looks at the choices around prenatal care and childbirth that class-privileged, pregnant black people are making in order to survive what has been called the “black maternal health crisis.”Bridges, whose previous work exposed how race and racism are embedded in maternal healthcare for the poor, draws on two years of participant-observation to show how wealthier black people try to leverage their class privilege to avoid some of the negative effects of their blackness—only to discover that in a country that has never reckoned with its horrific racial past, there is no escaping racism's reach. Throughout the book, engaging, heartbreaking, infuriating stories of women's experiences with pregnancy and prenatal care illustrate how race and racism matter regardless of wealth or status.

In this episode of Shooting It Straight with Stan, Stan "The Annuity Man" breaks down his signature Annuity Man Trifecta and why annuities should be bought for contractual guarantees—not hypothetical dreams. Discover how he shops all carriers, screens for top-rated companies, and layers in his three decades of experience to protect your money and your peace of mind.    In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Annuities as contractual, commodity products The PILL framework: Principal protection, income, legacy, long-term care The Annuity Man Trifecta: highest number, ratings, recommendation Evaluating carriers on both financial strength and administration Work ethic, team structure, and mission to "clean up" the annuity space   Key Takeaways:  Annuities should be purchased for what they are contractually guaranteed to do, not for speculative growth or hypothetical back-tested returns. The core problems annuities are designed to solve can be summarized as principal protection, lifetime income, legacy planning, and long-term care, and any use outside of these should raise red flags. Focusing solely on illustrations and projected returns leaves investors vulnerable to sales-driven hype instead of reality-based planning grounded in guarantees. A truly client-focused annuity process involves shopping all carriers for the highest contractual guarantee, prioritizing financially strong companies, and applying experienced, independent judgment on which carriers to actually recommend. Operational competence—like the ability to process paperwork efficiently and handle client service—is just as critical as an insurance company's rating when it comes to protecting clients and delivering on annuity promises.   "You buy annuities for what they will do, not what they might do… Never, ever, ever buy them for growth." —  Stan The Annuity Man   Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

An unsettling exploration of the persistence of racism in reproductive healthcare in the US—and why even affluent Black women are imperiled by substandard care.From a leading expert on race, class, maternal health, and reproductive rights.Racism in maternal healthcare is not reserved for the poor. An unsparing picture of inequities in prenatal care and childbirth in the United States, Expecting Inequity: How the Maternal Health Crisis Affects Even the Wealthiest Black Americans (MIT Press, 2026) reveals that not only are black people three to four times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause, but racial disparities in maternal mortality persist across income levels. That is, wealthier black people are much more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period than their white counterparts. Focusing on a San Francisco obstetrics clinic that caters to the affluent, Khiara Bridges looks at the choices around prenatal care and childbirth that class-privileged, pregnant black people are making in order to survive what has been called the “black maternal health crisis.”Bridges, whose previous work exposed how race and racism are embedded in maternal healthcare for the poor, draws on two years of participant-observation to show how wealthier black people try to leverage their class privilege to avoid some of the negative effects of their blackness—only to discover that in a country that has never reckoned with its horrific racial past, there is no escaping racism's reach. Throughout the book, engaging, heartbreaking, infuriating stories of women's experiences with pregnancy and prenatal care illustrate how race and racism matter regardless of wealth or status.

Tesiah “Tess” Frame is a Latter-day Saint digital content creator, author, and podcaster based in Southern California. Focusing on motherhood, practical scripture study, and active discipleship, she aims to bring optimism, authenticity, and joy to the online conversation surrounding Latter-day Saint women. Alongside Becky Squire, she co-hosts the Certain Women Podcast, a Come, Follow Me scripture study program specifically geared toward women, and is the co-owner of the children’s faith brand Happy Sacrament. Outside of her media work, Tessis a mother of three boys and a resilient survivor of a highly traumatic medical crisis during late pregnancy, during which she was placed in a temporary medical coma to safely deliver her youngest son. Utilizing her platforms and personal experiences, she actively encourages Church members to lean into personal initiative, love the gospel, and fearlessly minister on a local scale. Links TesiahFrame.com Certain Women Podcast @certainwomenpodcast HappySacrament.com Instagram @tesiahframe Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Tess Frame talks about the female experience in the Church and the proactive role of covenant discipleship. The conversation centers on navigating local leadership dynamics, finding purpose outside of official callings, and historical and scriptural frameworks for the Relief Society. 00:04:08 – Tess Frame’s Journey and Unique Birth Experience 00:07:00 – Finding Purpose and Taking Initiative in the Church 00:10:01 – The Libertarian Approach to Church Programs 00:12:34 – Women's Experience in Church Leadership 00:14:18 – Advice for Relief Society Leaders 00:16:33 – Empowering Women Beyond Official Roles 00:17:30 – Lessons from Women in the Scriptures 00:19:07 – Studying Women in the Scriptures 00:25:25 – Continuity Among Women in the Scriptures 00:27:56 – The Role of Women in the Relief Society 00:30:01 – Navigating Social Media as a Woman 00:35:46 – Understanding the Addictive Nature of Social Media 00:39:42 – The Historical Context of the Relief Society 00:44:29 – The Essential Role of Women in God's Kingdom Key Insights Proactive Discipleship: Members should not wait for system-wide institutional changes or official permissions to address local ward needs; recognizing a need is often a spiritual prompting to act. Avoiding Local Hierarchies: Over-regulation by local leadership can accidentally create organizational barriers that prevent auxiliary leaders from fully acting within their stewardships. The Spirit of Relief Society: The true, foundational purpose of the Relief Society is providing local, practical relief and ministering rather than just organizing social activities. Scriptural Continuity: Studying scriptural women—such as Ruth, Rahab, Sarah, and Hannah—reveals flawed but profoundly faithful individuals whose inter-generational commitments parallel modern sisterhood. Mindful Social Media Use: Platforms use algorithms designed to trigger primitive emotional responses like anger and comparison; creators and consumers must intentionally cultivate self-awareness to remain peacemakers online. Supporting Male Experiences: Ward groups must also remain attentive to the emotional, mental health, and connection needs of men, as structural shifts and heavy callings can leave them feeling disconnected. Leadership Applications Encourage Autonomous Ministering: Bishops can empower Relief Society presidencies by explicitly clarifying which matters require priesthood approval and which allow them to act independently to provide immediate community relief. Foster Local Adjustments: Ward leaders can prioritize home-centered gatherings or small-group rotations to break down ward cliques without requiring formal budgets or institutional approval.

Fascism swept the world in the 1920s and 1930s, but not only because of the seductive rhetoric of Mussolini, Hitler, and their collaborators. In India as well, a distinctive brand of fascist thought emerged—influenced by Euro-American ideologies but also departing from them in critical ways. The first systematic examination of this political philosophy, Fascism in India: Race, Caste, and Hindutva (Harvard UP, 2025) revises our sense of what fascism can be, while demonstrating that it is very much with us in the form of Hindutva, the ethnic-nationalist movement at the center of Indian politics today.Luna Sabastian offers a novel interpretation of Hindutva, both its canonical formulation by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and its reinvention by Deendayal Upadhyaya after Indian independence. Sabastian shows how Hindutva generated ideas of Hindu race and religion that had the potential to erase Muslims not through genocide or ethnic cleansing but by means of violent absorption. Focusing on aggressive miscegenation, Indian fascists proposed a singular kind of racial project, eschewing notions of purity even while maintaining a starkly eliminationist objective. Fascism in India also grapples with Hindutva ideas of caste and its relation to race—particularly in comparison with Nazi uses of these concepts—and of sovereignty, which Indian fascists envisioned beyond the “blood and soil” narrative of the nation-state. Finally, Sabastian reflects on Hindutva's reorientation toward Hindu piety after the creation of Pakistan effectively resolved India's “Muslim problem.”Bringing clarity to an ideology little understood in the West, Fascism in India is an eye-opening perspective on Hindutva and a profound meditation on the proliferation and evolution of right-wing thought. Sachin Nikarge has extensively worked in consultative capacity with prominent foreign/diplomatic missions across both ‘hard' as well as ‘soft' power domains. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Carl reflects on one of his favorite questions from Mary Oliver: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Focusing on the words plan and wild, he explores the creative tension between thoughtful planning and embracing life's unpredictable nature. Rather than choosing one over the other, Carl suggests that a meaningful life requires both—a plan that gives direction and enough openness to let the most beautiful, unexpected moments emerge along the way.Want more from Carl?

 I'm psyched to welcome Joseph Settine to Roadcase for his second visit to the show.

Focusing on the transmission of texts such as Ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine, Tadghout traces the movement of knowledge from Baghdad to Toledo and beyond. The episode highlights the collaborative nature of translation, commentary, and scholarly exchange, challenging narratives of isolation and rethinking the medieval world as deeply interconnected across cultures and languages.For more information, visit www.multiculturalmiddleages.com.

I've been thinking about justice - and how Molly will never get it. I settled the lawsuit and took money and I wonder if that's a mistake. If I hadn't taken it I could tell so many stories about people's characters and that's its own kind of justice. It's a balancing act: I now have money to help others, but I can never reveal the full truth.  Key Takeaways:    [0:00] What is justice and does it exist? [4:09] Reading my book about the justice we had for Molly  [13:06] What wasn't in the book: my drug use and how aggressive the lawsuit was  [15:00] I befriend a lot of people with narcissistic tendencies  [16:52] My deposition experience painted me as a bad mother  [19:02] Doctors thought Molly faked it - it's in the medical notes  [20:36] I have to live with the fact that Molly may never get justice  [21:14] The lawsuit just felt like a game of who could make the other person look worse [23:25] Your house is on fire - do firefighters ask what you could've done better?  [24:18] The fire analogy in my book  [26:24] They really harped on my addiction during the deposition  [28:31] I hate the money I received  [31:03] Focusing on the medical reality of Molly for the Foundation  [32:34] I feel reluctant to pick a side  Connect with Barb:   Leave me a message   Website   Facebook    Instagram   YouTube   The Molly B Foundation

In this episode, I sit down with my husband, Rabbi Yonasan Reiser, to explore four personality elements—fire, air, water, and earth—focusing on the complexity of Earth types: deep thinkers and feelers who often hold onto experiences long after others have moved on . I explain why Focusing is uniquely effective for Earth types. Unlike rigid modalities, Focusing is client-led; when a therapist misses the mark, the Earth type's deep internal attunement allows them to immediately identify the mismatch and correct it, creating a powerful sense of being understood . We conclude by discussing the "felt shift," what happens in the nervous system when words finally match our pre-verbal sense, and the Earth identity paradox, where non-Earth types often claim the label while many Earth types struggle to recognize themselves . ------------------------------- If this episode resonated with you, I recommend Get Along With Everyone: Especially Those You Find Most Challenging by Rabbi Shimon Gruen. This is the book I referenced when talking about the four element types — it's the framework that shaped how I think about fire, air, water, and earth, and why certain people seem so different from everyone around them. If you're a practitioner and you're starting to see your clients through this lens, or if you recognized yourself as an Earth and want to understand that more deeply, this is where to go next.

(4) Rituals of the Arena: Chubby Gladiators, Elephant Empathy, and the Roman Mythic Past Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. This discussion strips away the Hollywood image of gladiators, focusing on their specialized diets and the cultural role they played in Roman society. Gaius reveals that gladiators were intentionally chubby to "bleed better" for the audience and suffered from bad breath due to a meatless diet, highlighting that many were actually volunteers seeking money, and that animal hunts were often more popular than death matches. He shares a poignant account of elephants in the arena begging the crowd for their lives, which led Romans to acknowledge their intelligence. Germanicus explains gladiatorial combat as a "ritual" for citizens to reconnect with their "mythic heroic past" now that they no longer serve in the legions, defending the "chubby" physique by noting that body fat was essential for the survival of both Hannibal's soldiers and elephants during Alpine crossings. He connects these spectacles to the Roman imagination and literary traditions like the Iliad. They also discuss the Emperor Commodus, noting that despite his whimsical cruelty, he was not a coward in the arena, even though his reign was a "long line of tragedy." (4)1897 

Hey Team! I've been on a bit of a break this summer, but I wanted to help celebrate International ADHD Awareness Day by dropping a new episode. We often think that achieving big things requires feeling miserable during the process. We buy into the myth that if a task isn't agonizing, it isn't worth the time we put into it. My guest today is Jia Jiang, an expert in rejection resilience, a Duke MBA graduate, and the founder of Wuju Learning. After stepping away from a stable corporate career at Dell and LinkedIn to launch a tech startup, Jia realized his deepest bottleneck wasn't a lack of talent, but a profound fear of rejection. Fueled with this insight, he launched 100 Days of Rejection Therapy and filmed himself requesting absurd things from strangers daily. And this is actually when I first came across Jia 11 years ago, so it was quite the treat to get to talk with him and learn about his new book, Easy Discipline. Jia brings a unique lens to the table because he's battled his own severe, late-understood ADHD and procrastination loops since growing up in Beijing when ADHD just wasn't considered a thing. In this episode, we talk about shifting away from transactional, anxiety-inducing task completion and moving toward what he calls the "Artist Mindset." We also break down how masking and over-indexing on how other people perceive us turns into a form of self-sabotage, where we pre-reject ourselves before we even give our true traits a chance.

Willpower is a finite biological resource that inevitably runs out, and relying on it just triggers a cycle of broken resolutions and self-blame. Instead, shift your strategy to working with your human nature by building environment-based systems that remove structural friction from the start. If your daily routine constantly feels like Sisyphus endlessly pushing a heavy boulder up a mountain, you are fighting psychological gravity. Instead of forcing yourself through tasks with external pressure, anchor the process in intrinsic enjoyment so the activity becomes your default state. When you flip the physics this way, the boulder starts rolling downhill, meaning it actually takes more active energy to stop your momentum than to keep going. Masking and over-analyzing how others perceive you creates an intense cognitive tension that completely paralyzes the ADHD brain. Break out of this by adopting the "Artist Mindset"—reframing stressful interactions or projects not as rigid transactions where you need approval, but as unreplicable opportunities to express your authentic presence. Focusing on full creative expression in the moment completely bypasses the perfectionism trap and lowers social anxiety.  

How do we know when humility is helping us—and when it's holding us back? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Aviva Lauer explore Parshat Devarim through the inner world of Moses as he prepares to say goodbye to the Jewish people. Focusing on the repeated phrase rav lachem ("enough" or "you have gone too far"), they reflect on self-doubt, humility, and the burden of leadership. The conversation invites us to consider how we balance confidence with self-questioning—and what it means to lead without losing
