This week marks the one-year anniversary of the Los Angeles wildfires, two of the most destructive fires in California history. We bring you an excerpt from a new podcast, The Palisades Fire: A Sandcastles Special, which documents the community-led efforts to fight the Palisades Fire. Host Adriana Cargill highlights the role of the “Community Brigade” – a first-in-the-nation model that allows trained civilians to work alongside firefighters when wildfires hit. The podcast explores whether these kinds of brigades might be replicated in other places as California continues to grapple with more devastating – and more unpredictable – wildfires.

The only unlocked door out of this dystopian nightmare is the people using the power of their numbers to force real change. There are a whole lot more of us than there are of the tyrants who are inflicting these abuses upon our world, and they know it, and they fear us. Reading by Tim Foley.

In this second Best Of compilation, our team distilled the most powerful insights from 2025, and some from 2024—of Investing in Integrity. Spanning leadership, culture, and purpose-driven finance and investing, this special edition brings together defining moments from more than 40 conversations with some of the world's most thoughtful executives, investors, and builders.Rather than a simple highlight reel, this episode revisits key voices across multiple dimensions of leadership — reflecting how the same principles show up differently in how we lead, how we build culture, and how we deploy capital. Selecting these moments was no easy task, but each was chosen for its ability to inspire us to think more deeply our lives and our work. It's divided into three sections:Leadership That Transforms: We begin with reflections on leadership at its core — how leaders think, grow, and show up when stakes are high. Featuring Howard Marks, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Oaktree Capital Management; Bill George, former Board Director at Goldman Sachs, Executive Education Fellow at Harvard Business School, and author of True North; Doug Kimmelman, Senior Partner at ECP; and Steve Ellis, Co-Managing Partner of The Rise Fund at TPG, this section explores humility, self-awareness, conviction, and the evolving nature of values. Together, these insights illuminate what it truly means to lead with character in complex environments.Culture, Purpose & Integrity: We shift into the essential work of shaping organizational culture through the experiences of Bei Ling, CHRO at Wells Fargo; Pamela Alexander, Head of Corporate Citizenship at KKR; and Howard Marks (returning), this section reveals how trust is built, how purpose is operationalized, and how integrity becomes a guiding force inside the world's most influential institutions.Finance as a Force for Good: Finally, we explore how leadership and culture translate into action — particularly in the world of finance. Featuring Steve Ellis (returning), Trae Stephens, General Partner at Founders Fund, and Greg Shell, Partner at Goldman Sachs, this closing section demonstrates how capital, when aligned with long-term thinking and human impact, can be a powerful force for good. These voices challenge us to move beyond profit alone toward outcomes that expand opportunity and strengthen communities.In closing, Howard Marks shares a final reflection on generosity, underscoring the importance of giving back as a cornerstone of purposeful leadership.Whether you're leading a team, shaping culture, entering finance, or striving to grow personally and professionally, this episode is designed to accelerate your development and deepen your sense of purpose.This compilation isn't just a highlight reel — it's a blueprint.A blueprint for leadership anchored in character.A blueprint for careers aligned with purpose.A blueprint for a financial system that lifts society up.We've curated this episode to equip you with actionable insights you can carry into your work, your relationships, and your life.

Is the discomfort you're trying to fix actually the signal calling you back to your soul instead of another problem to solve? Josh Trent welcomes Ex-Comedian, Kyle Cease, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 791, to explore how fasting dissolves emotional hunger, why effort and ambition are often trauma driven, how the ego uses goals and problems to stay in control, why pain is a spiritual teacher, and how surrendering identity, outcomes, and the need to be someone can reconnect us to soul, presence, and God.

Bryan Young and Holly Frey take a look ahead at what Star Wars is bringing the world in 2026, from The Mandalorian and Grogu and Maul: Shadow Lord to Ahsoka's second Season to the Ninth Jedi, they talk about it all. If you're looking for an in depth preview, look no further.

As protests spread across Iran amid soaring inflation and economic collapse, President Trump warns that the U.S. could respond “very hard” if Iranian authorities use deadly force against demonstrators. In this episode of The Smerconish Podcast, Michael breaks down today's Smerconish.com poll question: If Iran uses force against protesters, should the United States respond militarily? Michael examines the moral case for intervention, the real-world risks of escalation, and whether non-military options—like sanctions, communications support, and exposure of regime abuses—offer a better path forward. With global tensions rising and America already stretched abroad, where should the line be drawn?

CONQUEST, THE DANELAW, AND THE EASTERN RUS Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. The conversation shifts from raiding to conquest, detailing the arrival of the "Great Heathen Army" in England around 865. Barracloughexplains that this force was likely comprised of smaller mobile warbands that eventually reached a stalemate with King Alfred, leading to the creation of the Danelaw and lasting linguistic influences on English place names. The discussion then moves east to the "Rus" (rowers) who navigated the waterways of Eurasia. Led by figures like Rurik, these Scandinavians settled in Novgorod and later Kiev, establishing a political foundation in what is now Russia and Ukraine. NUMBER 2

MAGA Is Tired of Talk—Where Is the Action? Andrew Branca. ACU New Talent Alert. MAGA: people are tired of slogans and social-media clips. They want to see action, timelines, measurable results — not trailers, hype videos, or press statements saying “we're just getting started.” Supporters understand courts will fight back. They understand judges will interfere. What they don't accept anymore is pre-emptive surrender. Announce the action. Force the challenge. Make the courts own the obstruction. That's how political capital is built. Movements don't die from opposition — they die from paralysis. If enforcement becomes theater, trust collapses. And once trust is gone, slogans stop working.

« Nous sommes aux commandes », a déclaré le président des Etats-Unis Donald Trump, le dimanche 4 janvier, après que l'armée américaine a capturé la veille le président vénézuélien Nicolás Maduro et son épouse à Caracas pour les exfiltrer vers New York.Le successeur d'Hugo Chávez à la tête du Venezuela, apparu menotté et les yeux bandés après son enlèvement, doit être inculpé par la justice fédérale américaine pour « narcoterrorisme » et « complot pour importation de cocaïne ». Il est soupçonné de participer au trafic de drogue caribéen qui inonde les Etats-Unis.Cette intervention militaire contre un président divise le reste du monde. Certains dénoncent un coup d'Etat à peine déguisé de la part de Washington, quand d'autres voix, à l'instar d'Emmanuel Macron, se réjouissent de l'arrestation de celui qui dirigeait le Venezuela d'une main de fer depuis 2013.Comment les Vénézuéliens, frappés par la pauvreté et la répression, vivent-ils ce coup de force de Donald Trump ?

Series: Familiar Stranger Title: The Person, Not a Force Speaker: Pastor Daron Earlewine Date: January 4, 2026 We talk often about God the Father and Jesus the Son, but the Holy Spirit can feel unfamiliar, misunderstood, or even overlooked. He is not an "it," a force, or a feeling. In this six-week series, we will slow down and open Scripture to understand better who the Holy Spirit is, not just what He does. We will explore His presence, His voice, and His work in shaping our lives as followers of Jesus. Together, we will discover how the Spirit leads us with wisdom, strengthens us with courage, and forms us in obedience and love.

Today's guest is Dustin Oranchuk, Ph.D. Dustin is a sport scientist focused on sprinting biomechanics, speed development, and force production. Known for blending research with practical coaching insight, his work explores how isometrics, elasticity, and coordination shape high-performance sprinting and athletic movement. Isometric training is one of the “original” forms of strength training, and in the modern day has become one of the most popular areas of discussion and training methodology. Although the practice has exploded, it often lacks an understanding of physiology of adaptation with various methods. In this episode, Dustin explores the evolving world of isometric training, including the origins of isometrics. We discuss differences between pushing and holding contractions, tendon and neural adaptations, and modern applications in performance, rehab, and longevity. The conversation also dives into eccentric quasi-isometrics (EQIs), motivation and measurement challenges, and how coaches can intelligently integrate isometrics alongside plyometrics and traditional strength work.

Early isometric systems emphasized position specific strength over movement. Modern usage has expanded beyond barbell sports into rehab and longevity. 8:38 Modern Applications of Isometrics Isometrics are now widely used to “own positions” across joint angles. Longer duration holds are frequently used for tissue health and rehab. Training intent has shifted from peak strength toward durability and resilience. 9:52 Neural vs. Morphological Adaptations Short range, position specific isometrics bias neural intent and coordination. Long muscle length isometrics bias hypertrophy and tendon adaptation. Choose isometric type based on whether the goal is performance transfer or tissue change. 15:45 The Importance of Long Holds Tendons require relatively high intensity to meaningfully adapt. Long holds help reveal side to side asymmetries and control deficits. Extended holds build tolerance and confidence in vulnerable joint positions. 19:42 Combining Isometrics and Plyometrics Pairing isometrics and plyometrics can produce modest additive benefits. Combining methods may reduce fatigue compared to doing each alone. The interaction may enhance effort quality rather than purely physiological output. 39:22 Exploring Eccentric Quasi Isometrics EQIs combine a maximal hold followed by forced eccentric lengthening. They accumulate large time under tension and eccentric impulse. EQIs are powerful but mentally taxing and difficult to sustain long term. 47:10 Periodization and Isometric Training Use longer, lower intensity holds earlier in the offseason. Progress toward shorter, higher intensity, position specific isometrics near competition. Post game isometrics can support recovery without additional joint stress. 1:05:48 Future Research Directions Measurement technology has driven the resurgence of isometrics. Push versus hold distinctions are becoming a key research focus. Future work aims to clarify muscle and tendon behavior during isometric intent. 1:13:00 Closing Thoughts and Reflections Consistency with foundational exercises drives long term progress. Isometrics are tools, not replacements for dynamic training. Coaches should match the method to the goal, not the trend. Quotes from Dustin Oranchuk “Tendons tend to need a certain threshold of intensity to get meaningful adaptations.” “The maximal amount of force you can push is almost always more than what you can hold.” “Isometrics let you own positions rather than just pass through them.” “Long holds are a great diagnostic tool for finding asymmetries.” “EQIs are effective, but they are very hard to push hard and regularly.” “Use the best tool for the job rather than trying to blend everything together.” “Consistency beats constantly reinventing your training approach.” “Isometrics compress joint motion so other systems can recover and adapt.” “Intent matters just as much as the muscle action itself.” “You do not need complexity to get strong adaptations over time.” About Dustin Oranchuk Dustin Oranchuk, PhD, is a sport scientist specializing in speed development, biomechanics, and force production in sprinting and jumping. He holds a doctorate in sport science and has worked extensively with elite athletes across track and field, team sports, and high-performance environments. Dustin is widely known for his research-informed yet practical approach to sprint mechanics, isometric training, and elastic performance, bridging laboratory insights with real-world coaching application. Through consulting, research, and education, he helps coaches and athletes better understand how force, stiffness, and coordination influence maximal speed and performance.

Retired General Ben Hodges, former Commander of U.S. Army Europe, says the U.S. military activity off Venezuela is repeating one of the most dangerous mistakes of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan: no clear strategy, no defined end state, and questionable legality. And the consequences, he argues, extend far beyond any single operation, putting U.S. troops, alliances, and global credibility at risk.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The European Union's controversial new rules on polluting industrial imports went into effect on January 1st, following a two-year transition period. Heavy goods such as steel, aluminium and cement are now subject to a new fee levied according to the amount of CO2 emitted during their production. China issued a statement slamming the measure as unfairly targeting Chinese goods.

Podcast Show Notes | Christian Wellness & Stress Recovery Introduction Do you feel constantly stressed, wired, tired, or unable to truly rest — even when you slow down? In this episode, Alexandra shares a faith-fueled, holistic approach to stress recovery and explains why many women never fully recover from stress in the first place. We rush, suppress emotions, push through exhaustion, and repeat the cycle day after day — leaving our bodies stuck in fight-or-flight mode. This episode is for Christian women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, chronically stressed, or physically depleted and want a biblical, body-wise way to restore calm, energy, and clarity — without relying on numbing distractions or unhealthy coping mechanisms. You'll learn: Why stress recovery matters just as much as stress management How movement and focused activities help your body exit fight-or-flight What God's design for stress, rest, and healing really looks like Practical, natural ways to help your nervous system reset Why We Don't Recover From Stress (And Why It Matters) Many women experience stress all day long — at work, at home, in relationships — but never give their body permission to release it. When stress is left unresolved: The nervous system stays stuck in fight-or-flight Digestion, sleep, and emotional regulation suffer Fatigue, anxiety, and chronic symptoms begin to appear God designed the body to be resilient — but not to stay in survival mode forever. How Focused Movement Helps the Body Release Stress Alexandra shares a personal story about noticing stress symptoms (like eye twitching) disappear after activities like martial arts training, even when she didn't feel excited about going beforehand. Why does this work? Certain activities: Force your brain into the present moment Activate stress briefly, then allow it to fully resolve Signal safety to the nervous system after the activity ends This “closed stress loop” allows the body to finally relax. The Science Behind Stress Relief and the Nervous System Focused, structured activities such as: Martial arts (Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai) Partner dancing Rock climbing Playing musical instruments Chess or strategic games Escape rooms …can help: Improve focus, attention, and executive function Elevate mood and endorphins Reduce anxiety Support emotional release (yes, even crying afterward) These activities don't allow rumination — the brain must stay present. Why Scrolling and Numbing Don't Heal Stress Many people cope with stress by: Excessive social media scrolling Alcohol or other numbing behaviors Avoidance instead of release These habits do not complete the stress cycle — they only delay healing. True recovery requires helping the body recognize safety again. Biblical Perspective: Fight-or-Flight, Rest, and God's Design Alexandra reflects on how fight-or-flight became necessary after sin entered the world, but it was never meant to dominate our lives. Jesus invites us into rest: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 The goal isn't to eliminate stress entirely — it's to move out of survival mode and back into rest and trust. You're Not Too Old to Heal or Try Something New One of the biggest lies women believe: “I'm too old to start something new.” The body is adaptable. Strength, coordination, and resilience can be rebuilt at any age. Ask yourself: What did I love doing when I was younger? What challenges my brain and body in a healthy way? What helps me feel calm, grounded, and alive afterward? Healing often begins with movement, curiosity, and courage. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – Why most women never recover from stress 01:05 – Stress symptoms showing up in daily life 02:28 – Why focused movement changes the brain 03:20 – Mental and emotional benefits of martial arts 05:44 – Fight-or-flight vs. stress release 06:42 – Why structured dancing works similarly 09:35 – Emotional release and nervous system safety 12:01 – Non-movement stress relief options 14:28 – Biblical reflection on stress and survival 15:55 – Numbing doesn't heal 16:24 – You're not too old to start again 18:18 – Encouragement to find your path to recovery Key Takeaways Stress recovery is just as important as stress management The body needs signals of safety to heal Focused activities help close the stress loop Healing doesn't require perfection — just intention God cares about your rest, not just your productivity Ready for Clarity and Support?

En Haïti, l'hôpital universitaire La Paix est l'un des rares hôpitaux publics du pays à fonctionner encore correctement. Lorsqu'il a visité l'hôpital universitaire La Paix au début du mois, Le Nouvelliste a découvert un établissement métamorphosé. Alors qu'il avait longtemps été perçu comme insalubre et incapable de fournir des soins adéquats, l'hôpital La Paix est aujourd'hui propre, climatisé, doté de tous les services spécialisés, opérationnels 24h sur 24, avec des patients dont le nombre a doublé en trois ans. Une transformation permise grâce à l'aide de l'Organisation panaméricaine de la Santé, la branche régionale de l'OMS. Cet appui sera certainement décisif dans les prochains mois, avec le déploiement annoncé de la Force multinationale de répression des gangs (FRG), et une éventuelle intensification des opérations. L'hôpital, rapporte Le Nouvelliste, est désormais prêt à prendre en charge 30 à 40 blessés par balle par jour. Dans la commune de Delmas, les habitants de plusieurs quartiers célèbreront le passage à la nouvelle année dans le noir, faute d'éclairage public. Mais « selon toute vraisemblance, écrit Le Nouvelliste, ni l'obscurité ni la situation socio-économique difficile n'auront raison de la joie de vivre des habitants. La fête, même dans le noir, devient un symbole de résilience et de courage d'une population prise en étau entre instabilité politique, insécurité et difficultés économiques. » Une opération secrète qui fait beaucoup parler Le président colombien Gustavo Petro a indiqué hier que l'opération secrète menée la semaine dernière au Venezuela par la CIA, rendue publique lundi par son homologue américain, avait visé une fabrique de cocaïne dans le port de Maracaibo, dans l'ouest du pays. Le Wall Street Journal relève que ce n'est pas la première fois que Donald Trump communique ainsi sur des opérations censées restées secrètes. Ce qui provoque un certain désarroi chez les responsables de la CIA. CNN, de son côté, reproche à l'administration américaine de sembler naviguer à vue dans cette confrontation qui ne cesse de s'aggraver. « Ni Donald Trump ni ses principaux conseillers en politique étrangère n'ont esquissé de scénario de sortie », constate CNN qui redoute un nouveau bourbier. Chaos à la Sécu La Sécurité sociale américaine termine l'année dans la tourmente, raconte le Washington Post. En cause, les milliers de licenciements et de démissions qui se sont produits ces derniers mois, et qui entraînent aujourd'hui une saturation des services désormais occupés par un personnel souvent inexpérimenté. Résultat : des situations kafkaïennes pour les usagers. Et notamment pour Aimé, un Camerounais dont l'identité avait été mal enregistrée à son arrivée aux États-Unis il y a deux ans. On avait remplacé son prénom par son nom de famille. Il avait jusqu'à mi-janvier pour faire corriger ces informations sur son permis de conduire, indispensable pour aller travailler. Sauf que le premier rendez-vous qu'on lui propose... est le 9 février. Les habitants de Culiacan entre deux feux Les habitants de la ville de Culiacan, au Mexique, sont pris entre les feux croisés de deux camps de narcotrafiquants. Une guerre interne au sein du cartel de Sinaloa oppose les fils d'El Chapo au groupe d'El Mayo, le criminel arrêté aux États-Unis a l'été 2024. Les autorités déployées en masse sur place ne sont pas parvenues à endiguer cette vague de violence. Officiellement, le conflit a fait plus de 2 000 morts, et au moins autant de disparus. Toute cette violence laisse des traces : les deuils et les traumas chez les habitants que Gwendolina Duval, notre correspondante à Mexico, a rencontrés. Les violences faites aux femmes en hausse au Brésil Plus de 1180 féminicides ont été recensés cette année au Brésil, une augmentation de 36%. Plusieurs cas ont marqué les esprits, comme celui d'un homme qui a écrasé sa compagne avec sa voiture avant de la traîner sur plus d'1 kilomètre. Elle est aujourd'hui amputée des deux jambes. En ce mois de décembre, plusieurs manifestations contre les féminicides ont eu lieu dans tout le pays, comme le rapporte notre correspondante à Rio de Janeiro, Sarah Cozzolino.

Just because a very chaotic 2025 is coming to an end and a new year is about to begin doesn't mean you can ignore the personal challenges you've managed to sweep under the rug…2026 is the year you'll face the mirror based on the 10th card of the Tarot, The Wheel of Fortune (the divine mirror of self-reflection), and all of those obstacles will re-appear.

Thank you to our Patron One In A Thousand who requested this week's book! They wrote in to us earlier this year, saying: "...At some point in your lives, you've probably experienced media that you felt was ALMOST really good, but for whatever reason it just wasn't, and media that was almost really good can be just as frustrating as outright bad media because you can see that it just needed a little bit of fixing. That's how I felt about The Third Force. It's a tie-in novel to an obscure Japanese multimedia franchise from the 90's called Gadget...Marc Laidlaw was given a lot of creative freedom to write his own interpretation of the story, including more worldbuilding and character development, to mixed results...Laidlaw has confirmed that several characters and plot points from this book went on to inspire elements of the Half-Life series, which he became the lead writer for a couple years after writing this...In a way, The Third Force is almost like a rough first draft for ideas that Laidlaw would execute in a better way later." In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes discussion or mention of brainwashing, torture, murder, and general high mind loss.

THE ATOMIC BOMB AND POST-WAR LEADERSHIP Colleague Craig Symonds. Nimitz and King believed a naval blockade could force Japan's surrender without a costly invasion, which they feared would result in millions of deaths. Nimitz was informed early about the atomic bomb to ensure it wouldn't interfere with operations. After the war, despite resistance from the aviation community and Secretary Forrestal, Nimitz served a two-year term as Chief of Naval Operations. Spruance, denied a fifth star in favor of Halsey, took the high road by leading the Naval War College, ensuring future officers learned from the Pacific war's lessons.

This episode exposes one of the most disturbing and overlooked elements of the Delphi murders investigation: the psychological collapse Richard Allen allegedly suffered while held in prolonged solitary confinement before trial. Listeners will hear how isolation, lack of human contact, and extreme mental distress pushed Allen into a fragile, deteriorating state where he made confused, desperate statements on recorded jail calls — statements his family insists were not true and were the direct result of unbearable psychological pressure. Rather than illuminating guilt, Allen's recorded admissions reveal the devastating impact that severe confinement can have on a person who has not been convicted of any crime. His words grow increasingly fractured, defeated, and inconsistent, raising serious concerns about whether mental anguish — not truth — drove his statements. This episode examines how solitary conditions can warp perception, induce hallucinations, and create the exact circumstances under which false confessions are known to occur. We also confront broader questions surrounding the Delphi case, including serious concerns raised by legal observers about investigative decisions, reliance on disputed forensic interpretations, and the possibility of confirmation bias shaping the direction of the case. While the full truth remains contested, documented contradictions, unanswered questions, and procedural concerns demand scrutiny — not blind acceptance. Richard Allen's story is not just about one man; it's about what happens when a system designed to protect due process instead creates the conditions for psychological breakdown. This episode challenges listeners to consider a painful reality: when isolation becomes a weapon, anyone — guilty or innocent — can be pushed past the limits of endurance. #DelphiCase #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeNews #SolitaryConfinement #InterrogationAnalysis #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DueProcessRights #WrongfulConvictionConcerns Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if the real power in your life isn't what you know, but what you know that everyone else knows you know?Money only works because we all believe everyone else believes in it. Governments stand because we assume everyone else will follow the rules. Even love, status, trust, and cancel culture are driven by invisible social agreements that live in our shared mind.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist, cognitive scientist, bestselling author, and one of Time's “100 Most Influential People in the World Today,” to decode the science of common knowledge and how it shapes everything from money and power to social media, revolutions, and your daily relationships.We talk about why some ideas go viral and others don't, why cancel culture and public shaming are so effective, why dictators fear free speech, and how misinformation hijacks our “collective brain.” Steven also shares powerful tools from his books Rationality and When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows to help you think more clearly, protect yourself from cognitive biases, and become a better learner and communicator in a noisy, hyper-connected world.If you've ever wondered why people follow the crowd, why markets boom and crash, why social norms feel so powerful, or how to stay rational when everyone is yelling online, this conversation will help you see the hidden architecture behind human behavior – and use that insight to upgrade your thinking, your learning, and your life./ / / Ready to upgrade your brain? / / /Choose your own adventure.

My Guest: Nick Gray is the author of The Two-Hour Cocktail Party and founder of Museum Hack. He's mastered the art of hosting events that strengthen networks and build genuine connections. In this conversation, he shares practical systems for hosting gatherings, why every leader needs a personal website, and lessons learned from his viral blind date trip to Tokyo. The Learning Leader Show Key Learnings Two Great Ice Breaker Questions:  What's a compliment that someone has given you that you've never forgotten about?  If you could teach any class about a topic that you're an expert on, what would it be? The power of a network is real: As a leader, you're probably hiring people regularly or looking for investors. By hosting simple, lightweight meetups or dinner parties, or happy hours once a quarter, you can strengthen your network, build it, and keep those loose connections or weak ties warm. Mix professional and personal contacts: For me, a really boring event would be all work people. Look for occupational diversity. If you're hosting a work event, invite some other random folks who you know are gonna be good conversationalists and add to the energy. Don't reach for the top shelf first. Most important advice for leaders: do not invite your most impressive contact to your very first happy hour or meetup. Your first party should be for your neighbors, the parents of kids at your school, those LinkedIn connections, high school buddies you haven't seen in a while. Your first party should be a comfortable meetup for 15 to 22 people that you host at your home with just cocktails, not a dinner party. Then slowly, once a quarter, you'll be adding more people to it and filtering your list. Collect RSVPs to ensure attendance. New hosts are absolutely terrified that nobody will arrive. As long as you get a minimum of 15 people to show up, your party will generally be a success. Use platforms like Partiful or Mixily (not Paperless Post or Evite) to get people to RSVP, let them know what to expect, and send reminder messages. Ten days before, send a reminder message hyping up the party. About a week before, send another reminder message with a little dossier of who the attendees are. Write something little: "Ryan Hawk hosts a podcast. He wrote a book. He lives in Ohio. Ask him about the ski trip he went on with his family." This serves to make anxious people or socially awkward feel like they're welcome and they have a conversational access point. Practical hosting tips on event day: Label your trash cans and your bathrooms. As people arrive, greet and welcome every single person, and make them a name tag. Write it out right in front of them, first name only. Do not pre-write your name tags. Force collisions through structured activities. Your job as a leader is to go through life collecting the interesting people that you meet and helping them meet each other.  Can you become a connector? One way to be a connector is to host these meetups and force the collisions. Lead two or three rounds of introductions at your meetup. Make a little announcement 30 minutes after it starts: "There are so many interesting people here. I want you all to meet each other. We're gonna split into small groups. It might seem silly, but I promise the purpose tonight is for you to talk to as many new people as possible. We're gonna split into small groups of three or four people, and you're gonna go around and tell your life story in two minutes." End on time, especially for weekday events: Host from 6:30 to 8:30 PM with a hard stop on Tuesday or Wednesday nights. People appreciate having an end time because they have responsibilities. Having that end time makes them more likely to RSVP yes and actually attend. "I get more compliments on my party ending on time, and they leave with a positive experience, so they want to return for another." Why every leader needs a personal website. If you have a blue check verified on Instagram, if you post at least once a month on LinkedIn, you probably need your own personal website. It's proactive reputation management. People are out there searching for you on Google and on ChatGPT. It may not happen every single day, but it probably happens every week. Whether it's parents of your kids at school, whether it's new employees, people are googling you. You want to have a personal website to put your best foot forward and make a good impression.

Now I'm like, dude, it doesn't matter. 80% of my visitors are on their cell phone and just want to read some text and have some links. The tweet from 2024 that changed everything.  The viral Tokyo blind date trip taught me I was ready to share my life with someone. I ended up meeting my wife a couple of months after this experience because I realized I was ready. From a business perspective, one of the most interesting things while that was happening and for about a week afterwards: anyone would accept my phone call. My callbacks were instantaneous. My dial to answer fast. People were reaching out from everywhere. I was like, whoa, is this what it's like to be a celebrity? "I came back to Texas after the trip, ready to truly settle down and find a relationship and meet my now wife." Write like you talk: The best book about storytelling is Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks. Don't try to write a LinkedIn post that says "I'm happy to announce." Would you actually say that to someone? No, you wouldn't. Say it like you talk. Advice on Blind Introductions: Use a double opt-in intro. Reach out to one person first, "Hey, are you taking new clients before I connect you with a friend?" Get both parties' permission, separately - then send the email.  Give yourself a Free Day: Dan Sullivan suggests one free day a quarter from work. Make it a weekday, and even get a burner phone so you can't check your work text/emails, so you're completely disconnected from work.  The keys to being a great host/MC: Priya Parker does such a great job talking about the theory of being a good leader. The host that doesn't do a great job is the one who's too cool to care. Give explicit instructions to people. You are a ring leader for an event, and you're in charge of everyone's energy levels and keeping the show on the road.  Add value before taking value. Never send someone a message, "I'd love to pick your brain," or "I'm looking for a mentor." That is take, take, take. Think about how you can add value first. When you add value first to people, it's some sort of law of reciprocity. They're much more likely to want to help you out or do something in return. Advice for new grads in the AI era: AI and new tools are eating into the ability for companies to hire low-level employees that do grunt work. Learn how to use the tools themselves. Work with small businesses and entrepreneurs where you can make a difference. Develop a writing practice: Matthew Dicks has this activity called Homework for Life where every night you write down some note, some anecdote, something that stuck out for you. It gives you ideas about things to write about. Use AI as an editor, not a writer: Don't outsource your thinking to AI. Use the tools, understand how to use them, but don't outsource your thinking. It'll spit back something decent, but you don't want to outsource your thinking, especially as a leader. Reflection Questions Nick says your first party should be for neighbors, school parents, and LinkedIn connections you haven't seen in a while (not your most impressive contacts). Who are 15-20 people in your life that fall into this "comfortable but haven't connected recently" category that you could invite to a simple cocktail party?   He emphasizes "add value before you take value" and never says "I'd love to pick your brain." Think about someone you want to connect with. What's one specific way you could add value to them first before asking for anything in return?   Nick hosts events once a quarter to keep weak ties warm instead of trying to have individual coffee meetings with everyone. What's one relationship-building activity you're currently doing inefficiently that could be replaced with a group gathering?
