My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Sean Pauzauskie, author of the book Stage of Fools. Sean Pauzauskie, M.D., is a hospital neurologist in the University of Colorado system, where he conducts clinical research employing neurotechnology, primarily for the optimization of epilepsy management. He is an active member of the American Academy of Neurology and The American Medical Association, and his research experience includes time at The National Institute of Mental Health, The Energy and Commerce Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Kaufmann Foundation for entrepreneurship. He is also a member of the American Academy of Neurology's Palatucci Advocacy Leadership Forum, a highly competitive program that selects 30 out of 40,000 members to develop and implement action plans on advocacy issues related to neuroscience. He is president-elect of the Colorado Medical Society.   As a clinician who works daily with comatose patients, Sean brings scientific authenticity to his literary exploration of cognitive-motor dissociation—a condition where patients remain mentally aware while physically unresponsive.   In my book review, I stated Stage of Fools is a literary fiction by Sean Pauzauskie. We quickly meet Thomas Mariner, a billionaire who appears to have it all - until an unfortunate fishing accident leaves him in a coma in a San Francisco ICU.   The entire story is in the mind of Thomas while he is in a coma and flashbacks to his childhood and early adulthood. Despite his fortune and fame, Thomas has demons, and these demons have created problems in his family. His hope? To figure things out, make the needed changes, and save them from what he set in motion due to jealousy, his ego, and rash actions.   I think what is most interesting is that the author is a neurologist. He offers a lot of information to help us understand what it might be like inside a brain during a coma. And for Thomas, his obsession with the play, King Lear, shows up throughout.   I found the novel interesting and thought-provoking with an ending I didn't expect.     Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Sean Pauzauskie Website: https://seanpauzauskie.com/ Social media: IG: @seanpauzauskie LinkedIn: @sean-pauzauskie FB: @sean.pauzauskie   Purchase Stage of Fools on Amazon: Paperback: Hardback: https://amzn.to/4pcLB3A Ebook: https://amzn.to/44WBcQe   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Wall Street treats demand like a line on a chart. Rob Snyder says that's exactly why investors keep getting burned. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Rob Snyder — Harvard Innovation Labs fellow, serial startup founder, and author of The Power of Pull — about why customers almost never buy things because they were convinced to, what that means for how you evaluate a publicly traded company's growth story, and how the AI boom is exposing which software businesses have genuine demand and which ones are papering it over with an ever-growing sales and marketing budget. He also shares the one financial metric he trusts above all others — and the surprisingly mundane AI use cases he's most excited about.

n this next installment of our 2026 Financial Planning Challenge, host Robert Brokamp is joined by fellow Fool Stephanie Marini to discuss the most unpleasant area of financial planning: estate planning. But it's necessary, because while it's nearly impossible to predict the future when it comes to most aspects of personal finance, there's one thing we can guarantee: You and everyone you know will one day pass away – leaving assets and stuff behind to be divvied up. Topics covered:-While it's important to seek the counsel of an attorney in your state, you can do a lot of estate planning on your own by updating beneficiary, payable on death, and transfer on death designations on your accounts and insurance policies-What should be included in your will-When to consider a trust-Creating your “financial vault” – the document that will let your loved ones know what to do and where to find everything when you're no longer able to manage your finances (temporarily or eternally) Host: Robert Brokamp, CFP®, EAGuest: Stephanie Marini, CFP®, CRPC®Engineer: Bart Shannon Disclosure: Advertisements are sponsored content and provided for informational purposes only.

The AI race isn't being won in the model lab — it's being won in the power grid. And right now, America is losing. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Hannan Happi, co-founder and CEO of Exowatt — backed by Sam Altman and Andreessen Horowitz — about why the AI build-out is hitting a wall that no amount of chips or software can fix. They get into why a one-year grid delay costs a hyperscaler $12 billion in missed revenue, why China has 10 times more capacity than the US to build AI infrastructure, and what investors need to actually be tracking as hundreds of billions of dollars flow into the AI build-out — including whether the data centers being built today will still be operating in ten years.  Host: Rachel Warren Guest: Hannan Happi Producers: Dennis Golin, Lauren Budabin  Disclosure: Advertisements are sponsored content and provided for informational purposes only.

Welcome to Day 2928 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2928 – Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 1:20-33 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2928 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2928 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Cry in the Public Square – Lady Wisdom's Warning and the Promise of Unshakeable Peace On our previous episode, on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Seven, we listened as a loving father and mother offered tender instruction within the quiet sanctuary of the home, warning their child against the seductive siren song of violent, greedy men who lie in wait to ambush the innocent. We saw how ill-gotten gain ultimately takes away the life of those who pursue it. Today, as we step onto Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Eight of our ongoing trek, the scene shifts dramatically! Wisdom is no longer speaking in a quiet bedroom or behind closed doors. Instead, she steps directly out onto the main stage of public life! In Proverbs chapter one, verses twenty through thirty-three, wisdom is personified as a dignified, courageous woman—Lady Wisdom—standing in the bustling marketplace, shouting at the top of her lungs. Having spent over fifty years focusing on and studying Biblical wisdom, and having accumulated seventy years of life experiences—watching cultural trends rise and fall, seeing people make choices in their youth and live out the results in their older years—I can tell you that God's wisdom is never hidden in a dark, secret lodge. It is loud, public, urgent, and available to anyone who has ears to hear! Let us open our ears to Lady Wisdom's passionate proclamation, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the logical thoughts found in Proverbs chapter one, verse twenty, verse twenty-one, verse twenty-two, and verse twenty-three. Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square. She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate: “How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simple-minded? How long will you mockers enjoy mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge? Come and listen to my counsel. I'll share my heart with you and make you wise.” Look at where Lady Wisdom takes her stand! She goes straight to the streets, the public square, the main boulevard, and the city gates! In the ancient Near East, and specifically within the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview, the city gate was not just an entrance through a wall; it was the supreme judicial court, the legislative forum, and the commercial heartbeat of the community. In biblical theology, earthly judicial gates were designed to mirror the justice dispensed in Yahweh's celestial courtroom. Lady Wisdom positions herself right where public policy is made, where business contracts are sealed, and where human life unfolds in real time. Notice the glaring contrast with the predatory gang we studied in verse ten! Those wicked men hid in dark alleys, whispering in secret, plotting covert ambushes. But divine wisdom operates in broad daylight! She has nothing to hide, no hidden agenda, and no deceitful fine print. She addresses three distinct groups of people: the "simpletons"—those who are naive, easily swayed, and uncommitted; the "mockers"—those who are cynical, arrogant, and scoff at moral boundaries; and the "fools"—those who actively hate knowledge and refuse moral instruction. Yet, notice her posture! She does not begin with an immediate condemnation; she begins with a deeply compassionate, urgent question: "How long?" And then comes that breathtaking invitation in verse twenty-three: "Come and listen to my counsel. I'll share my heart with you and make you wise!" In Hebrew, that phrase "share my heart" literally means I will pour out my spirit upon you! Lady Wisdom is offering an intimate, transformative outpouring of divine insight to anyone willing to stop, turn around, and listen. However, when this generous, public invitation is met with persistent apathy and arrogant defiance, the tone of the narrative undergoes a profound, terrifying shift. Let us listen to the grave warning in Proverbs chapter one, verse twenty-four, verse twenty-five, verse twenty-six, and verse twenty-seven. I called you so often, but you wouldn't come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered. So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you— when calamity sweeps over you like a storm, when disaster swirls around you like a whirlwind, and when anguish and distress overwhelm you. This passage contains some of the most haunting imagery in all of wisdom literature. Lady Wisdom recounts how she reached out her hand continuously, but people brushed her off, ignored her advice, and rejected her correction. Over my seventy years on this earth, and my fifty years of searching the Scriptures, I have sat across the table from folks in their forty, fifties, or sixties who brushed off wise counsel when they were young. They thought they were smarter than the rules; they thought they could gamble with their integrity, their marriages, or their finances and never face a reckoning. But Solomon warns that calamity eventually arrives—and when it comes, it doesn't just trickle in; it sweeps over life like a violent hurricane, swirling around like a devastating whirlwind! When Lady Wisdom says, "I will laugh when you are in trouble; I will mock you when disaster overtakes you," we must understand this through the lens of divine cause-and-effect. This is not cruel, malicious human spite. Rather, it represents the absolute, unyielding irony of reality! When a person spends decades ignoring gravity, jumping off spiritual cliffs, and mocking the moral law of the universe, the eventual crash is the inevitable result of their own foolish choices. Reality itself laughs at the absurdity of human arrogance when the whirlwind finally hits. The narrative deepens as Solomon outlines the catastrophic point-of-no-return, combining the contiguous thoughts in Proverbs chapter one, verse twenty-eight, verse twenty-nine, verse thirty, and verse thirty-one. When they cry for help, I will not answer. Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me. For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord. They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them. Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of their living. They must choke on their own schemes. Look at the solemn justice expressed here! When disaster strikes, those who persistently mocked wisdom suddenly become desperate. They cry for help, and they search anxiously for an easy way out. But Lady Wisdom reveals a sobering truth: you cannot treat divine wisdom like a emergency fire extinguisher that you ignore your entire life and then expect to magically extinguish fifty years of deliberate rebellion in a single second! Notice verse twenty-nine, which links us right back to the master foundation we established in verse seven: "For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord." The fear of Yahweh is a conscious, deliberate choice. Because they rejected the reverent fear of the Creator, verse thirty-one delivers the ultimate verdict: "Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of their living. They must choke on their own schemes!" In Yahweh's moral cosmos, judgment is rarely an arbitrary bolt of lightning from the sky. Most often, divine judgment is simply God giving fools exactly what they insisted on having! He allows them to harvest the full, rotten crop of their own seeds. They wanted self-will, they wanted greedy shortcuts, they wanted moral independence—and in the end, they are forced to eat that bitter fruit until they choke on their own clever schemes. Finally, Solomon brings this powerful public discourse to a triumphant, dual-sided conclusion, contrasting the tragic fate of fools with the glorious promise offered to the obedient, as recorded in Proverbs chapter one, verse thirty-two, and verse thirty-three. For simpletons turn away from me—to death. Fools are destroyed by their own complacency. But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm. Solomon summarizes the two paths available on life's trek. On one hand, simpletons

Charles Spurgeon's beloved “John Ploughman” returns – plain-spoken, sharp-witted, and full of gospel truth. Following the tremendous response to John Ploughman's Talk, Spurgeon offers this second volume of plain counsel for everyday people. With colorful illustrations drawn from rural life and seasoned with humor, he speaks straight to the heart – warning against folly, exposing hypocrisy, encouraging honest labor, and encouraging all to turn to Christ. Written “in the simplest form of our mother tongue,” John Ploughman's Pictures uses pointed proverbs and everyday situations to make biblical wisdom stick. Whether rebuking drunkenness, urging integrity, or lifting hope for the prodigal, Spurgeon is ever the master with words. Both warm and bold, humorous and deeply serious, this classic reminds us that the gospel is for ordinary people and for daily living – and that plain truth is often the best kind. About the Author Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher. He started preaching at age 16 and quickly became famous. He is still known as the “Prince of Preachers” and frequently had more than 10,000 people present to hear him preach at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. His sermons were printed in newspapers, translated into many languages, and published in many books.

In Part 2 of his conversation with Motley Fool CEO Tom Gardner, Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach breaks down the company's Agent Pay protocol, explains why machine-to-machine payments could transform B2B commerce, and reveals why Mastercard just acquired the world's largest stablecoin platform.

Fools find no pleasure in understanding, but delight in airing their opinions. Proverbs 18:2 said it 2,000 years ago. Social media continues to prove it. In Part 2 of the Threats to Christianity series, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow address a threat that is not coming from the outside. It is coming from within—what Christians are doing to Christianity themselves. Opinions. Everyone has them. Christians share them freely—about the WNBA, about politics, about the Bible—often without having read it. And in doing so, the testimony of Christ is damaged, the uniform of Christ is dishonored, and the enemy scores a victory without firing a single shot. The military has a term for it: "combat ineffective." A unit that can no longer fight. That can no longer do its job. The devil does not need to silence Christians. He just needs to get them talking—loudly, wrongly, and without Scripture. Make sure your words are not working against the very faith you claim to represent.

She discusses why the free cash flow of the Magnificent Seven is quietly turning negative, why the circular financing inside the AI ecosystem makes it nearly impossible to see what's really going on, and why the S&P 500 index fund you think is keeping you diversified is actually one of the most concentrated AI bets you can make.  Host: Rachel Warren  Guest: Bethany McLean  Producers: Bart Shannon, Lauren Budabin  Advertisements are sponsored content and provided for informational purposes only.
