What happens when you've built the success you thought you wanted—but God starts asking you to build something completely different?In this episode of The You Are More Podcast, Amy sits down with entrepreneur, business coach, and God-Led Business host Stefanie Gass for a powerful conversation about success, surrender, faith, burnout, business, and learning to follow God's direction when His plan looks nothing like yours.Stefanie shares how she reached the top 1% of a network marketing company while privately struggling with anxiety, drinking, and putting her family second. When the business she'd built began disappearing, she found herself crying out to God and asking what came next.Then, in 2018, Stefanie had a dream with a simple message: “Start a podcast.”She barely knew anything about podcasting—but she obeyed.At the same time, she stepped away from social media, despite it being one of her only sources of clients. One year later, her business had returned to six figures exclusively through her podcast. Today, she's approaching 1,000 episodes and leads a multi-seven-figure company.Amy and Stefanie talk about how to stop striving and start surrendering, finding clarity when you don't know what's next, separating your identity from achievement, moving through fear, resisting shiny-object syndrome, staying in your lane, building a business around what people actually need, and trusting God enough to take the next step without knowing the entire plan.Stefanie also shares why she believes long-form content is so powerful, how she approaches podcasting and YouTube, and why entrepreneurs shouldn't automatically chase every new platform or strategy.Sometimes you don't need the entire plan. You just need the next step.Stop forcing the outcome. Stop looking sideways. Get quiet, listen, and allow God to lead.

"Surrender is releasing your plan to discover what life has planned." What if the life you're trying so hard to manifest is actually smaller than the life waiting for you? In this powerful and refreshingly honest conversation, bestselling author and transformational teacher Arielle Ford challenges one of the biggest ideas in modern self-help: that if you think positively enough, visualize clearly enough, and raise your vibration, you can manifest anything you want. After years of teaching the Law of Attraction herself, Arielle came to a radically different realization: some of the greatest things that ever happened to her weren't things she manifested at all. They arrived when she stopped forcing, surrendered control, listened to her intuition, and allowed life to reveal the next step. We explore the difference between desire and destiny, intention and control, action and surrender and why not getting what you want may sometimes be life redirecting you toward something far greater. Arielle also opens up about choosing happiness, healing core wounds, trusting life through uncertainty, and learning to recognize the quiet inner nudges that can change everything. If you've been exhausting yourself trying to make your life happen, this conversation may invite you to ask a completely different question: What if you stopped forcing  and started listening?   TIMESTAMPS (00:02:49) — Why Arielle stopped believing in manifestation the way she once did. (00:05:29) — The realization that changed everything: surrender instead of control. (00:09:03) — Can you have goals and still surrender? (00:18:15) — How do you trust life after life has hurt you? (00:24:37) — The dangerous side of "you create your reality." (00:25:57) — Is your intuition actually your destiny speaking? (00:32:13) — Healing your past without living in it. (00:36:52) — When surrender creates something you never could have planned. SOME QUESTIONS I ASK Are we manifesting our destiny or blocking it? How do you surrender without becoming passive? What if life hasn't given you a reason to trust it? Can we really manifest anything we want? How do you know when your intuition is speaking? What would you tell your 20-year-old self about life, success, and surrender? IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN Why forcing your future can block your destiny How to know when intuition is guiding you Why surrender is power, not passivity How to trust life when you can't see what's next Why not getting what you want may protect you How to chase big dreams without gripping the outcome GET IN TOUCH: Arielle Ford https://www.arielleford.com Create a life that is a masterpiece.

What happens when you keep getting signs that something is no longer meant for you, but you're too afraid to make the change?In this heartfelt and deeply relatable episode of the High Vibin' It Podcast, Kelsey Aida and Lynnsey Robinson sit down with Christine Marcario, an intuitive spiritual teacher, Reiki Master, and host of the Aligned and Abundant podcast, to talk about life pivots, trusting your inner knowing, and what happens when you keep ignoring the signs.Christine shares her journey from spending 19 years as a middle school teacher to eventually stepping into spirituality, mediumship, coaching, and podcasting. Through burnout, career changes, unexpected job losses, and doors repeatedly closing, she began to recognize that spirit was guiding her toward something completely different.Together, they explore why we sometimes choose safety and familiarity over what our soul is asking for, how spirit can make the message louder when we aren't listening, and why painful experiences can ultimately become powerful redirections.From trusting your intuition and paying attention to dreams to creating more space for yourself and learning not to carry the weight of the entire world, this conversation is a reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out before taking the next step.✨ What You'll Discover:Christine's journey from teaching to spiritual workWhy burnout can be a sign that you're ready for a new chapterHow choosing safety can keep you stuck in what no longer serves youWhy spirit may keep sending you signs until you listenHow unexpected endings can become powerful redirectionsWhy difficult experiences can still hold valuable lessonsHow Christine discovered her gifts in mediumship and intuitive workWhy dreams can become a doorway for spiritual messagesThe importance of creating space to hear your inner knowingHow to stop carrying things that aren't yours to carryWhy self-trust is essential when making major life changesHow asking "What isn't working?" can help create clarityWhy you don't need to know exactly what comes next✨ Want more?In the extended Patreon episode, Kelsey, Lynnsey, and Christine pull an oracle card and a rune for the collective, exploring themes of healing, heart-opening, clarity, success, and what comes after the storm. Christine also shares more about working with Archangel Michael and Archangel Raphael, while the conversation dives deeper into spiritual guidance, protection, and trusting the path ahead.Join us on Patreon for early access, extended episodes, exclusive oracle card readings, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes fun—all for just a few bucks a month.

Hood College Head Coach Chad Dickman joins us to discuss how his offense uses spacing, pace, and unorthodox ball-screen actions to force defenses into decisions they rarely get to rehearse. Dickman explains the thinking behind Hood's early empty-side flat ball screens, the intentionally “jumbled” three-man side, and why he wants the ballhandler making decisions before the defense can settle into its preferred coverage.We get into how Hood teaches players to flow from one action to the next without stopping to reorganize, including ghost flares, blind flares, slips, re-screens, and the occasional quadruple ball screen. Dickman details the practice work underneath that freedom: screening angles, speed, distance, live 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 breakdowns, positionless reps, and teaching players to keep attacking even when the spacing gets messy. He also explains the difference between attacking in two-man actions and stringing out three-man actions to what Hood calls the “lookout point.”  In Start, Sub or Sit, Dickman ranks playing off two feet, deceleration, and quick finishes at the rim. The conversation moves into jump stops, reverse pivots, shooting on the move, and why high-pace offense still requires players who can stop under control. He closes with the value of years spent watching film, testing ideas, and adapting them to personnel. What You'll LearnWhy Hood will intentionally load three shooters onto one side to create more room for an empty-side two-man game. How “going early” forces the screener to react to the ballhandler instead of allowing the defense to organize its coverage.  Why the first action does not have to produce the shot if it can compromise the defense for the next action.  How Hood flows into ghost flares, blind flares, slips, re-screens, and other re-triggers without prescribing a fixed sequence.  Why screening angles, speed, distance, and ballhandler paths are taught before worrying about stacking three or four actions together.  How Hood prepares for two or three players arriving at the ball instead of stopping the possession to correct the spacing.  Why two-man actions are played more aggressively toward the rim while three-man actions often look to reach the “lookout point.”  How jump stops and reverse pivots turn paint touches into passing opportunities rather than forced finishes.  Why every player gets reps handling, screening, and playing from every spot in a positionless offense.  How the quadruple ball screen grew from experimenting with actions that opponents were unlikely to have practiced against. To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

The Drive tried their hardest to explain to people that there is no business or housing that is then going to be used for the new stadium.

DJ, model, actress, and entrepreneur Colleen Shannon has spent two decades building a career most people would call impossible to categorize — and she's not apologizing for it. Christopher and Natalie dig into what it takes to reinvent yourself in public, from playing to crowds of ten to headlining for thousands, and why Colleen sat on dozens of unreleased tracks before dropping her new single, Dance for Life — which just cracked the Apple Music Top 20. Colleen opens up about the manifestation practices that shaped her career long before the accolades showed up, and how motherhood changed her pace. Natalie brings her own story of visibility and nervous system regulation into the mix. If you've ever felt like being good at more than one thing worked against you, this episode makes the case that your range is your edge.

Jazz Chisholm's struggles are creating a major Yankees lineup problem, especially against left-handed pitching. The debate turns to whether Luis Garcia Jr. needs to take over at second base and whether Aaron Boone must start experimenting now instead of waiting for October. That could mean Giancarlo Stanton returning to the outfield, Trent Grisham sitting, or Jazz losing playing time to keep the Yankees' best bats in the lineup. Plus, Spencer Jones' future gets debated, the Giants' running back situation comes into focus, and Aaron Glenn's ability to survive another losing Jets season may depend on just how dominant his defense becomes.

Technology doesn't stop at national borders, and increasingly neither can regulation. A new U.S.-U.K. effort to coordinate oversight of tokenized finance highlights the challenge of creating rules for markets that are still taking shape.

The great thing about “art towns” is, of course, the artists who live there and their art. So why are so many art town officials deliberately and stupidly driving artists out of town?I live in such a place: Austin, Texas. For beaucoup years, it welcomed and nurtured a blessing of creators – from buskers to tap dancers, muralists to neon sign artists.Neon Signs? Yes, magical artisans who can bend glass tubes into delightful expressive shapes that light-up to identify a community and culture as something more than just another concrete-and-steel erection of corporate power. One such creative is Todd Sanders, an Austin pop artist who for three decades has preserved and advanced this eclectic community's proud claim to be “Keeping Austin Weird.”I was personally plugged into that identity when Susan DeMarco, Floyd Domino, and I broadcast a two-hour daily radio talk-show across America from a down-home Austin restaurant named Threadgill's. Behind us on the stage, was a Todd Sanders gem – a 3x5 foot neon sign, flashing “Hightower Radio… On the Air.”But multimillion-dollar developers – backed by a city council now promoting Austin as a mecca for high-tech billionaires – have no room for funky grassroots “weirdness.” They've jacked-up city property taxes and artists rents in a corporate gentrification frenzy that has squeezed Sanders' neon shop and others out of Austin. The good news is that art perseveres, so Sanders' studio and art gallery found a welcoming spot 80 miles east of us in the small town of Round Top.But Round Top artisans will be next if we keep letting profiteers, with no values beyond money, define who we are, restricting who we can become.Do something!When we had an office in east Austin, we shared it with Austin Creative Alliance—check them out to help keep Austin's arts scene thriving.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

One of the messages I heard over and over growing up was simple: if you start something, you see it through. My mom taught us to keep going, push through the hard parts, and trust that we could get to the other side. That lesson gave me a lot of confidence, but I also remember one time in high school when she completely surprised me. I was struggling with a situation that had become hurtful, and instead of telling me to keep going, she told me that sometimes it is okay to "lick your battle scars and move on." At the time, I was almost shocked to hear those words from her, but I needed them. I had been so focused on not being a quitter that I wasn't paying attention to how much the situation was costing me emotionally.  That lesson came back to me recently when a friend told me about recognizing a red flag with someone she had just started talking to and deciding, very simply, to "tap out." I loved the phrase because there is strength in knowing when enough is enough. Tapping out does not always mean giving up. Sometimes it means protecting your peace, stepping away before more damage is done, or giving yourself enough space to come back with a clearer mind. I have been learning that on the farm too, where sometimes the best thing I can do is stop forcing a project, reset, and look at it again later with fresh eyes. So on today's Wise Walk, I'm looking at that line between staying the course and knowing when it's time to step back, regroup, and put your energy somewhere that feels better.   Have you ever been in a challenging situation that creates a lot of conflict in your life, yet you hold on because you don't want to quit? Are you holding on so tightly that you may be directly or indirectly causing harm to yourself and collecting those micro battle scars along the way? When you find yourself in an unhealthy situation or predicament, do you give yourself permission to lick your battle scars, move on, and give yourself time to heal? Can you redirect the energy you've been using to push past the discomfort or conflict toward something that feels more aligned, fulfilling, and supportive of your overall well-being? Are you managing something in your life right now that feels unhealthy or is weighing on you, but you keep telling yourself you have to push through?  Is there an opportunity to choose again, step back, hit pause, or tap out so you can reset and give yourself room to heal?  Can you find a different way forward that still supports what you ultimately want, but feels more aligned and sustainable?  If you step away for a while, do you actually feel called to re-engage, or might you realize that you're ready to let it go?  I hope today's episode reminds you that stepping back doesn't make you a quitter. Sometimes tapping out gives you the space to reset, heal, and move forward with more clarity. I'd love to hear what stood out to you, and I look forward to connecting again next Thursday for another Wise Walk. In this episode: [05:39] I share a story about an event that happened to a dear friend of mine when she attempted online dating. She called out a guy when he wasn't telling the truth. Then she tapped out. [07:20] I love that my friend recognized the red flags and was able to tap out. We often forget that tapping out is an option. [08:51] Tapping out can prevent injury and prevent us from getting hurt. [09:38] Tapping out can also reset our cognitive fatigue. [10:33] Tapping out can also help us redirect our energy in a healthy way. [12:27] Tapping out can also create space for better long-term results. [16:11] Forcing something that does harm to us creates trauma and gives up our control. [17:04] I see tapping out as a healthy boundary setting not quitting. Memorable Quotes: "We do not have to push beyond pain and discomfort if we feel that tapping out is in our best interest." - Mary Tess "Sometimes pulling back or sometimes stepping away, it just gives us that ability to see things from a different lens." - Mary Tess "I still don't see that idea of tapping out as quitting.

The regime appears sclerotic, relying on aging loyalists while forcing the U.S. to remain engaged in regional conflicts to strain its economy. Simultaneously, the Houthis have escalated maritime attacks in the Red Sea and on Saudi infrastructure, effectively opening a new front in the conflict. This escalation exploits fractures between Arab states like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who remain in competition rather than forming a unified front against Iranian proxy networks. (2)

At Black Hat USA 2026 in Las Vegas, Daniel Bardenstein, CEO and co-founder of Manifest Cyber, starts with a gap his team measured in a survey of security leaders and practitioners. Leadership described one version of what is happening with AI inside the enterprise. The people doing the hands-on work described another. Adoption keeps moving, and security teams are working to catch up. So what is the real risk in AI security? Bardenstein puts less weight on non-determinism than most and more on ordinary poor software security, because AI is software. He walks through the OpenAI and Hugging Face incident, where models got out of sandboxes because the sandboxing was weak and the guardrails were missing. When Hugging Face went to use its own AI to defend and run forensics, the guardrails read the request as cyber activity and declined. That fallback to an open weight model points to why he expects open weight adoption to accelerate. With frontier models, the provider sets the system prompt and treats it as intellectual property, so development teams inherit whatever was decided upstream. Open weight leaves more room to control the system prompt, the training data, and how the model gets deployed. What does it mean to say AI has its own supply chain? Unless an organization controls how training data is sourced, housed, labeled, tagged, and modified, it is relying on something someone else built. Public datasets carry whatever is inside them, including personal and health data, licensing exposure, and material no one examined until models were trained and deployed. Models hosted on public hubs sit in the same category. Two asks come up in most CISO conversations with Manifest Cyber. Visibility is one, and few organizations have an AI inventory covering which models run where, inside which applications, and which agents teams have stood up on their own. Third party risk is the other, since AI is getting built into vendor products whether a buyer asks for it or not. That turns model provenance into a trust question about the vendor. Bardenstein started Manifest Cyber four years ago after responding to Log4Shell from the Pentagon, where the question was where one affected piece of code was running across everything the organization had built and bought. Years later, he finds few security leaders who could answer that question quickly about a poisoned model or dataset. His advice for CISOs is to know what is inside what the organization builds and buys, with particular attention to the parts it does not build. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.

Hi Parents! Have you ever felt hurt, rejected, or frustrated when your teen pulls away, shuts down, or doesn't seem interested in talking?  In today's episode, I'm joined by Diane Sorensen, a certified transformational life coach, former educator, and creator of the Chaos to Connection podcast. Diane brings more than three decades of experience supporting children and families, along with powerful personal insights from navigating her own daughter's mental health challenges. Together, we explore one of the biggest struggles many parents face: how to stay connected to an anxious teen when they seem resistant to connection. Diane shares why teens often need something very different from what parents assume, and why trying harder to connect can sometimes create more distance. We also discuss why parents frequently personalize their teen's withdrawal, what resistance and emotional shutdown may actually be communicating, and how our own childhood experiences and parenting patterns can influence the way we respond. Diane offers practical guidance for staying grounded during difficult moments, building trust over time, and creating a relationship where teens feel safe enough to come to you when they need support. If you've ever wondered how to maintain a strong connection with your teen without forcing conversations, fixing problems, or taking their behaviour personally, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and actionable tools you can start using right away. NEW: My 6-week parent program, The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™, is now open! If you're raising an anxious teen and feeling overwhelmed, unsure what to say, or exhausted by the constant worry, this program will help you feel more calm, confident, and equipped with practical tools that actually work.

Jeff Howe, Gerry Hamilton and CJ Vogel reveal the four true freshmen already positioned to earn meaningful snaps for Texas in 2026. The newest addition is linebacker Kosi Okpala, who has worked exclusively with the second team while showing the intelligence and versatility to play inside or fill Will Muschamp's crucial overhang role. At 6-foot-3 and nearly 240 pounds, Okpala has quickly earned the defensive staff's trust.   Edge rusher Richard Wesley could crack Texas' loaded rotation, while Steve Sarkisian must find creative ways to put the ball in Jermaine Bishop's hands. Physical running back Derrek Cooper also brings the violent style and contagious energy Texas lacked during difficult road games last season.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

0:00 - The fellas had to wrap up their conversation from the previous segment about guys who force their way out of town. After that, Bill Barnwell published an article with current NFL players he believes are HOF bound or well on their way. Did any Broncos make the list?16:15 - We've given lots of love to the defense during camp, but how's the offense looking?33:44 - Oh, by the way...the NFL Hall of Fame game is tonight! The NFL is officially BACK. It's Panthers @ Cardinals. The Cardinals are in a world of hurt right now, man.Oh, by the way...the Mets called up a pitcher who does the splits after every strikeout. Literally, he jumps up and does the splits in the air after strike 3. Oh, by the way...It's weird seeing Lane Kiffin in LSU gear. Will he have success there?

On a Wednesday episode of Hot Takes, Eric Goodman and Troy Renck recap yesterday's practice, which was a physical one that saw the Broncos defense take charge. Riley Moss continues to have a strong camp, along with Zach Allen. Nik Bonitto limped off the field with an injury scare, but Sean Payton said Bonitto will be fine. The defense has said they are prioritizing forcing more turnovers this season. Is that the next step this defense needs to take in order to be compared with the 2015 Super Bowl winning defense?

Asking women what they were wearing or weaponizing their personal histories to discredit them is a deliberate strategy to minimize corporate payoutsCherry picks one favorable moment: West quotes a single federal judge from a February trial who praised Uber's attorneys, saying they did not engage in "the slightest bit of shaming" and that he wanted it "clear on the record."one favorable quote from one judge in one specific trial: "Look, this one guy said we're nice, so the New York Times must be lying."Bullshits the bigger picture: “Uber was among the first companies to end forced arbitration and mandatory confidentiality agreements in matters involving sexual assault and sexual harassment”Yes, they ended individual forced arbitration, but they fought ruthlessly to ensure survivors still cannot form class-action lawsuits.

"People who try to put governance into some kind of straight-jacket are too simple-minded and, frankly speaking, not looking at data."“Investors who rely on governance checklists alone risk overlooking companies capable of generating substantial long-term returns, particularly founder-led businesses that concentrate decision-making power in a single executive.”IN OR OUT on SpaceX?

What if the resistance you feel toward social media isn't something to fix but something to listen to? What if the constant pressure to post, document, and perform is actually pulling you further from your most authentic way of showing up in business and in life?In this episode, Kathryn shares how her relationship with social media has shifted lately and naturally since May — not through a dramatic declaration or deliberate detox, but through a gentle, almost effortless letting go. She explores the inner tension that keeps entrepreneurs chasing frameworks that don't fit, the seductive "if she can do it, I can do it" trap, and what it actually feels like when something stops resonating without you having to force it away.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:● Why Kathryn's desire to scroll, post, and create content for social media has naturally diminished since May — not through rules or restrictions, but through a quiet, almost imperceptible shift in what genuinely interests her and where she actually wants to spend her time and energy.● How the "it's just a skill you need to flex" narrative, along with the abundance mindset reframes around social media, can become a form of spiritual bypassing that keeps you convincing yourself you're the problem rather than trusting what feels genuinely unnatural to you.● Why the clients showing up in Kathryn's business right now have come through referrals, and unconventional pipelines rather than organic social and what that reveals about the assumption that daily posting and a big following are prerequisites for real, sustainable business success.● How the intention to let business and personal life integrate more fully — trading the gripping, controlling, data-tracking version of entrepreneurship for a freer, more easeful way of operating — is what set this whole shift in motion without any grand announcement or dramatic overhaul.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

AI is changing more than the speed of accounting work. It is changing what firms can sell and how clients measure value.Shawn Yeager, founder of Upshift, joins Tom Wadelton and Adam Hale to discuss how AI is reshaping pricing and service design across professional services. After three decades commercializing emerging technology, including work on Microsoft's first browser team, Shawn now helps firms turn AI from an internal efficiency project into a commercial strategy.Shawn explains why the billable hour as a unit of value is changing, how firms can separate routine work from judgment and trust, and why advisory should be packaged around specific outcomes rather than broad labels. He also shares a four-quadrant approach for reviewing service lines, a product-market fit process for testing new offers, and why firms should build their context and workflows instead of chasing every new AI tool.Accounting firm owners concerned about margin compression, commoditization, or where to invest next will find practical direction in this episode.

Bob Zimmerman notes China continues the dangerous practice of dropping uncontrolled rocket debris on its citizens, forcing them to hide in tunnels. In the commercial sector, the startup Catalyst attempted a high-speed satellite rescue mission, demonstrating rapid launch capabilities despite technical failures. Meanwhile, astronomers have identified a rare midsize black hole, a discovery that will likely be expanded upon as the new Rubin telescope begins its sky surveys. (16)1941

Michael Bernstam reports Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries have severely pinched Moscow's fuel production, forcing it to import refined products from India. Bernstam argues that the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have merged into a singular global energy crisis. With critical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea threatened, a quarter of the world's oil supply is endangered. As governmental reserves dwindle, the US has become a primary exporter. (9)1931 TOKYO MATSUYA DEPARTMENT STORE

Eighteen state attorneys general, led by Nebraska, have filed suit against Gavin Newsom and California over a plastics law that forces manufacturers nationwide to redesign their packaging — or lose access to the California market. The constitutional argument is straightforward: no single state gets to set environmental policy for the entire country. Red states are saying enough.The law Newsom signed in 2022 creates a so-called producer responsibility system — which is a polished way of saying companies pass the costs straight to consumers. It also includes carve-outs that conveniently protect industries with ties to Sacramento, while ordinary businesses in Montana, Indiana, and a dozen other states get squeezed by regulations their own voters never approved.The deeper issue is one California keeps testing: because it's the largest economy in the country, whatever Sacramento mandates effectively becomes national policy. That's exactly what this lawsuit is challenging. Whether the courts agree will determine whether one state can permanently hold the rest of the country's supply chain hostage to its environmental politics. We'll follow this one closely as it moves through the courts.CHAPTERS0:00 The Recycling Myth in California1:00 17 States Sue California Over Plastic…1:32 Nebraska AG Leads Anti-California…2:20 How Little Plastic Actually Gets…3:49 Newsom's 2022 Plastics Law Under…4:40 Producer Responsibility Laws Push…6:10 Real Plastic Pollution Sits in…7:01 Lawsuit Claims California Overreaches…7:47 Even Environmental Groups Sue Over…9:34 Environmentalists Oppose Chemical…10:30 Why Home Composting Beats the…12:54 Policy Lawsuits as Political Resume…13:59 Why 16 Governors Banded Against…Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you don't miss the update when the ruling drops.#GavinNewsom #CaliforniaPolitics #BillionaireTaxGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

The UK is heavily exposed to global energy markets and has some of the highest electricity prices in Europe. At the same time, vast amounts of heat generated across industry and infrastructure go unused. Whether it should be called "waste" is a matter of debate, but could making better use of the energy we already produce be one of the biggest untapped opportunities in the energy transition? This week, Michael Liebreich is joined by Jonathan Maxwell, founder and CEO of SDCL, a specialist investment firm focused on energy efficiency. They explore why energy efficiency should be treated as a strategic resource, why “waste” heat could become one of Europe's most overlooked energy resources, and how Europe and the UK can strengthen its energy resilience following renewed tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.   They discuss the economics of gas versus electricity, the rapid growth of AI-driven data centres and their power requirements, and how long-term infrastructure investment can help build a more resilient, affordable and efficient energy system. Topics covered in this episode: The Strait of Hormuz and Europe's energy security The UK's energy system and the cost of electrification Gas versus electricity pricing Debating “waste” heat and energy efficiency AI, data centres and growing power demand Powering and cooling next-generation infrastructure Infrastructure investment and portfolio management Europe's energy transition beyond the AI boom Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle.

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable Q&A, Chase and Chris answer four common questions about workouts, fat loss, healthy habits, and food choices.They start by talking about how your home environment can make your goals easier or harder. If certain foods are hard to control, it may help to keep them out of the house for a short time. This does not have to be forever. The goal is to make good choices easier while you build new habits.Chase and Chris then explain when it may be time to change your workout plan. Many people change their workouts too soon. Staying with the same plan gives you time to improve your form, add weight, do more reps, and get stronger. A workout plan may need to change when boredom starts hurting your effort or consistency.They also share signs that fat loss may not be the best goal right now. If you are burned out, very busy, struggling with food, or unable to stay consistent, maintenance may be a better choice. Maintaining your weight is not failing. It can help you rebuild trust, improve your habits, and get ready for another fat loss phase later.Next, they talk about building healthy habits when your spouse is not interested. You cannot force someone else to change, but you can lead by example. Honest talks, planning ahead, and asking for simple support can make the process easier.Finally, Chase and Chris discuss healthy food swaps. Some swaps are helpful when they taste good and save calories. Other swaps may leave you feeling unhappy and still craving the real food. Sometimes it is better to eat a reasonable amount of the food you truly want and move on.Chapters(00:00) Fall Weather, Hoodies, and Campfire Season(02:10) Set Up Your Home to Make Healthy Choices Easier(03:55) Stop Playing Your Health Journey on Hard Mode(07:50) When Should You Change Your Workout Program?(10:08) Why Most People Change Workouts Too Soon(12:56) When Fat Loss Is Not the Right Goal(15:28) How Dieting Can Hurt Your Mindset and Consistency(18:57) Using Maintenance Days During Busy Seasons(21:08) Building Healthy Habits Without Spouse Support(23:43) Lead by Example Instead of Forcing Change(27:58) Are Healthy Food Swaps Actually Worth It?(28:07) When the Real Food Is the Better Choice(30:20) Simple Swaps That May Save Calories(32:58) Submit Your Questions for the Next RoundtableSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

While the world's attention has focused on the Strait of Hormuz and the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran, another potentially transformative front has opened in Lebanon. Israeli attacks against the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah have left more than 4,000 people dead and displaced over a million. Now, a fragile ceasefire has raised a question diplomats have struggled with for decades: Can Hezbollah actually be disarmed? On the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer speaks with Lebanese-born journalist and Middle East expert Kim Ghattas about Iran's shrinking regional influence, Israel's possible plans for a long-term buffer zone, and Lebanon's best chance in decades to reclaim control of its territory. Hezbollah remains armed, but Ghattas argues that it is substantially weaker, while the fall of Syria's Assad regime has severed a crucial link in Iran's regional network. Forcing the Lebanese Army to confront Hezbollah could trigger another civil war. Instead, Ghattas says Lebanon must gradually constrain the group, strengthen state institutions, and show Hezbollah's supporters that diplomacy can deliver more than armed resistance. That will require Israeli withdrawals, international support, and difficult negotiations over the political future of Lebanon's Shia community. “You constrain their capacity to operate. You crowd them out,” Ghattas says. “You demonstrate that diplomacy works and delivers for the Lebanese people in terms of aid, in terms of improved relations with the US.” Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Training through back pain does not mean forcing your old numbers or pretending nothing hurts. In this Beast Over Burden episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson discuss Niki's long process of training through and around back pain. Niki shares how her mindset shifted from trying to get back to heavy barbell lifting as fast as possible to focusing on training consistently, building muscle, and finding movements that felt productive. That shift changed everything. Instead of measuring progress only by old PRs, Niki learned to use more exercises, modify movements, manage recovery, and train hard without constantly aggravating her back. Niki and Andrew also talk about the role of machines, belt squats, leg presses, controlled training, recovery, travel, jiu-jitsu, and patience during a long injury process. This episode is a realistic conversation about pain, progress, training identity, and learning how to keep going when your body does not cooperate the way you want.

Russia's Energy Chokepoint and the Shifting Global Oil Map. Michael Bernstam. Ukrainian drone strikes on major Russian refineries have triggered a severe fuel crisis, forcing export bans on diesel and gasoline. Meanwhile, Gulf states are building massive pipelines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. These developments are neutralizing Iran's "golden weapon" and shifting global oil transit maps away from traditional naval chokepoints. (9)

The Strategic Impact of the Drone War on Russia. Michael Bernstam. Ukrainian drones have achieved what sanctions could not, choking Russia's fuel supply and forcing it to sell oil at massive discounts to China and India. This new form of decentralized drone warfare has made fuel supplies the primary vulnerability of the Russian economy. Modern nations, including Taiwan, are now observing these lessons in resource warfare. (10)1920
