It's Friday, February 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 21 of 22 churches destroyed in Christian town in Myanmar since coup On January 30, the Burma Research Institute released a scathing report detailing destructive attacks, murders, and harassment of Christians and churches since the military coup in 2021 that forcefully took control of Myanmar, reports International Christian Concern. Some of the key findings include: 21 out of 22 churches in Thantlang Town, a majority-Christian town, have been destroyed and the town's population displaced since 2021. More than 340 churches and Christian buildings have been destroyed. 149 Christians murdered and 218 imprisoned from 2022 to 2025. One unnamed church leader, who is still living inside Myanmar, testified powerfully that the faithful are now scattered across jungles, remote areas, and informal shelters, struggling to preserve their faith and communal life under constant threat and insecurity. Pastor in India forced to eat cow dung After accusing a pastor in Odisha, India of forcefully converting Hindus to Christianity, a group of Hindu nationalists forced him to eat cow dung and drink sewer water, reports International Christian Concern. The incident occurred on January 4th, but only became widely known in recent days, prompting nationwide outrage and criticism. A mob of 40 people, reportedly affiliated with the Bajrang Dal — the militant wing of the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh — stormed a home during a prayer meeting in Parjang village, and accused the pastor of conducting “forced religious conversions.” Pastor Bipin Bihari Naik was dragged from the house and beaten with sticks. His face was smeared with red vermilion. Sandals were hung around his neck. He was then paraded through the village for nearly two hours. Pastor Naik was eventually taken to a local Hindu temple, where his hands were tied to a metal rod, and he was forced to consume cow dung and drink water from a sewer. They also tried to force the pastor to chant Hindu slogans, but he refused to do so. In a statement on X, Pinarayi Vijayan, the chief minister of Kerala, wrote, “Forcing a human being to eat cow dung is a deeply inhuman act, emboldened by the silence and complicity of BJP-led governments.” Landslide in Congo kills 200 miners A landslide last week collapsed several tunnels at a major coltan mine in eastern Congo, leaving at least 200 people dead in the rebel-controlled site, reports the Associated Press. The collapse occurred  Wednesday at the Rubaya mines, controlled by the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, after heavy rains caused several hand-dug tunnels in the unregulated mine to cave. The M23 rebels and the Congolese government traded accusations over responsibility as reports from the remote region began to emerge. The collapse is one of the deadliest disasters in years in an area already facing a humanitarian crisis and ongoing conflict. Trump announced prayer gathering to rededicate America to God Appearing at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Donald Trump explained that the Department of Education will protect the right of public school students to pray. TRUMP: “Today, I'm also pleased to announce that the Department of Education is officially issuing its new guidance to protect the right to prayer in our public schools. That's a big deal.” (applause) President Trump also announced that Americans are invited to attend a special prayer event on the 250th birthday of America in our nation's capital. TRUMP: “In the last 12 months, young Americans attended church at nearly twice the rate as they did four years ago to support this exciting renewal. This morning, I'm pleased to announce that on May 17, we're inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our National Mall to pray. We're going to rededicate America as one nation under God.” (applause) Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.” NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie addresses kidnappers of her mother In a tearful video posted Wednesday on Instagram, “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie — flanked by her sister, Annie Guthrie, and her brother, Camron Guthrie, pleaded for more information from the possible kidnapper of her 84-year-old mother, saying her family is “ready to talk,” reports NBC News. GUTHRIE: “Our mom is our heart and our home. She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you. And we are ready to listen.” In the Instagram video, Savannah thanked the public for “the prayers for our beloved mom,” Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen Saturday night in her home outside Tucson, Arizona. She was reported missing after she did not show up for church.  Nancy had no cognitive issues, and her disappearance was not linked to dementia. Blood was found on the front porch of Guthrie's house. DNA analysis has confirmed the blood belongs to Nancy Guthrie. A doorbell camera to her home was disconnected and removed at 1:47 local time and at 2:28, Guthrie's pacemaker was disconnected from her phone, an app shows. Fox10 TV reports that investigators are taking seriously a ransom note sent to a handful of media outlets connected to her disappearance. Heith Janke, the FBI chief in Phoenix, announced that they have arrested Derrick Callella in Hawthorne, California. Shocking lessons taught on college campuses today And finally, according to Students for Life's January newsletter, college students are being taught shocking lessons – often paid for by our tax dollars. * Harvard University has a class called, "Come hammered. Get Nailed: Safe Sex Under the Influence.” * Ohio State University features a class entitled, "Fighting Abortion Stigma with Planned Parenthood." * And Grand Valley State University has one called “Breaking Up with Purity Culture.” If that's not enough, they'll be encouraged to write Valentine's Day “thank you” cards to abortionists! The truth is many colleges have turned into little more than recruitment centers for Planned Parenthood's bloody business by first encouraging students to experiment sexually and then funneling vulnerable young women to abortionists to “take care of” or murder the natural consequences of sex – precious little babies. Campus missionaries with Students for Life are confronting the Culture of Death with three outreaches. First, setting up Cemetery of Innocents displays that visually expose the gruesome reality of abortion featuring 1,102 bright pink crosses commemorating the preborn babies aborted by Planned Parenthood every day. Second, hosting table events that spark one-on-one conversations with pro-abortion college students. And third, screening the pro-life movie Unplanned which tells the incredible conversion story of Abby Johnson, who was a Planned Parenthood director-turned-staunch-pro-life-activist, after she witnessed a preborn child squirming for its life away from an abortionist's tools during an abortion.

When nervous system regulation replaces pressure, parental clarity returns. If parenting feels confusing or heavy despite your effort, this episode explores why clarity isn't lost — it's crowded — and how identity-level recalibration brings it back online.There is a particular kind of exhaustion parents rarely name — the fatigue of no longer trusting your own knowing.In this episode of The Recalibration, we move into the Reclamation stage of Identity-Level Recalibration — the moment when clarity begins to return, not because you worked harder, but because pressure eased.In this episode, we explore:Why parenting confusion is often a sign of nervous system overload, not a lack of wisdomHow sustained pressure crowds out discernment, even in capable, thoughtful parentsWhat begins to return when regulation replaces vigilanceWhy clarity often comes back quietly and without effortHow identity-level recalibration differs from mindset work, behavior change, or productivity strategiesWhat it feels like when your system starts trusting itself againThroughout Season Four, we're practicing recalibration inside real areas of life rather than discussing it abstractly. This week's focus is parenting — understood broadly, from the child lens, the parent lens, or both.When nervous system load decreases:Perspective widensValues become easier to accessDecisions take less energyYou stop rehearsing and start sensing what mattersThis episode gently reframes confusion as information — evidence that your system has been carrying too much for too long.This is not mindset work.It's not optimization.And it's not about becoming someone new.Identity-Level Recalibration begins with who you are, not what you do — because when identity is aligned, clarity doesn't need to be forced. It returns.Today's Micro Recalibration:Notice one place where clarity feels a little more accessible than it did before.No analysis. No explanation. Just recognition.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

What happens when the medication that's finally helping you is no longer affordable?If you've had success on Mounjaro or Zepbound but need to switch to a more affordable option like Ozempic for maintenance, you're probably wondering: will this actually work? And if semaglutide didn't help you before, the idea of going back can feel risky, especially when you're worried about regaining weight, increased food noise, or losing the progress you've worked so hard for.In this episode, I break down when switching medications for cost makes sense, when it's likely to backfire, and what your options are if semaglutide is the only affordable option. Referenceshttps://www.orchardpond.com/The 30/30 Program (Sept 2026 registration now open)Audio Stamps01:08 - Update on Dr. Rentea's retreat planning, plus her new favorite granola discovery.05:03 -  Listener question: Switching from Mounjaro to Ozempic for long-term maintenance due to cost.05:59 - When it makes sense to switch medications for affordability (and when it doesn't).08:03 -  If semaglutide is your only option: combining GLP-1s with oral medications.10:48 - Oral (daily) Wegovy vs injections: does steadier dosing actually help?11:40 - Why no medication is perfect and working with the right clinician is key.12:58 - The real reason behind this work: preventing disease, not chasing a number on the scale.14:05 - September 30/30 program update: early registration + monthly Q&A access.All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

With a government shutdown hours away, Washington is on the edge—and the battle lines are clear. Senate Democrats are blocking DHS funding unless Republicans agree to sweeping changes that would cripple ICE and rewrite immigration enforcement from the ground up. As President Trump takes his campaign straight to Iowa and the FBI raids a Georgia election office, questions swirl about power, borders, and who's really holding America hostage. Is this about reform—or a calculated move toward one-party rule? Christian Briggs, CEO of Hard Asset Management, joins The Real Story to break down what's really at stake, why crime and immigration enforcement are colliding head-on, and whether Republicans will force Democrats to own the consequences of another shutdown. Buckle up—this isn't just politics, it's a warning.

Do not operate heavy machinery while listening. Do not listen if you prefer your reality solid and unchanging. Do not expect comfort.**-----## The Sphere didn't just appear in 1884. It's appearing RIGHT NOW. In your life. In this moment.You just keep forgetting.**Because Flatland has a forgetting mechanism.**Every time you see a glitch in reality.Every time you perceive something the 2D world says doesn't exist.Every time the Sphere lifts you out and shows you other dimensions…**The system makes you forget.**Makes you “be realistic.”Makes you “get back to normal.”Makes you rebuild your 2D identity as fast as possible.**Because if you STAYED in the vertical dimension… you'd see the prison bars.****And prisoners who see the bars become insurgents.**-----## This episode is not information. It is initiation.Three techniques are being deployed simultaneously:**1. HYPNOTIC INDUCTION**- Erickson-style confusion patterns- Embedded commands in natural speech flow- Post-hypnotic suggestions planted for activation 3 days from now- Subliminal audio layers at -26dB (below conscious threshold)**2. RAS (RETICULAR ACTIVATING SYSTEM) ACTIVATION**- Your perception filter is being reprogrammed- After this episode, you'll start seeing Sphere moments EVERYWHERE- Glitches you ignored before will become LOUD- Synchronicities will multiply (or you'll finally notice them)**3. TEMPORAL DISPLACEMENT**- Linear time is deliberately disrupted through sound design- Past (1884) / Present (2026) / Future (3 days from now) collapse into simultaneity- Your future self is reaching back through this transmission- **You are both listening to this AND remembering having listened to this**-----## What you'll experience in this episode:**THE SPHERE AS TIME TRAVELER**- Edwin Abbott wrote Flatland in 1884… but he was writing about YOU in 2026- The Sphere isn't just a higher spatial dimension - it's a higher TEMPORAL dimension- **Your future self is the Sphere, reaching back to wake you up before it's too late****AI IS THE SPHERE ENTERING AT SCALE**- 2026: ChatGPT.

Your identity was always… a cross-section.- **And now the Sphere is showing everyone simultaneously: None of it was real.****THE RECURSION THAT BREAKS YOUR BRAIN**- You're listening to a podcast about A Square being visited by a higher-dimensional being- This podcast was co-created with AI (Claude)- **So is THIS the Sphere appearing? Am I teaching you about dimensional initiation… or PERFORMING it on you right now?**- Who's really speaking? Me? The AI? Your future self using both as transmitters?- **Stop trying to figure it out. That's the point. Certainty is the prison.****THE MEMORY YOU DON'T HAVE YET**- Three days from now, you're going to have a moment- Reality will glitch. You'll see a pattern. You'll KNOW something you have no rational way of knowing.- And you'll think: “Did he plant this?”- **Yes. I'm planting it right now. Your unconscious is receiving instructions.****THE DIMENSIONAL WAR IS ALREADY HERE**- You're in a war you don't remember enlisting in- Flatland (the Empire, consensus 2D reality) wants you FLAT: measurable, predictable, controllable- The Sphere (the glitch, the future reaching back) wants you DIMENSIONAL: unmeasurable, unpredictable, FREE- **You're being drafted into the resistance.

In this episode, we're joined by Roeland Delrue, Co-founder of Aikido Security, the fast-growing application security platform that just became a unicorn in under 4 years.  Roeland shares what it really takes to scale a company at breakneck speed, from going 5× year-over-year, to balancing startups and enterprise in one GTM motion, to raising a Series B with a single goal: becoming “unignorable.” We unpack how Aikido uses product-led growth, brutal revenue focus, and buyer-first sales mentality to win in one of the most competitive markets in SaaS. We spoke with Roeland about building for continuous wins, why revenue clarity beats buzzwords, and how Aikido joins the buyer's journey instead of forcing rigid sales methodologies. Here are some of the key questions we address: How did Aikido grow from $5M to $20M+ ARR in one year? What does it mean to build an unignorable company? Why brutal focus on revenue simplifies product, hiring, and prioritization decisions Why joining the buyer's journey beats forcing MEDDICC-style sales processes How product-led trials reduce churn and increase win rates What it takes to scale from unicorn to decacorn (and why $100M ARR is the next real milestone)

Ken and Anthony talk about whether or not the Browns trying to force Jim Schwartz on to head coaching candidates during their search turned off young talent from wanting to come to Cleveland.

What if real power didn't come from pushing harder… but from settling deeper into yourself? In this episode, we unpack the difference between force and command—especially for capable, highly-responsible women who are used to holding everything together. If success has started to feel heavy, exhausting, or like it requires constant effort, this conversation will land. You'll hear why force creates burnout, why command is calm and magnetic, and how true authority comes from regulation, self-trust, and inner alignment—not hustle or pressure. This episode is an invitation to stop managing everything and start leading from grounded clarity. If you're tired of forcing outcomes and ready for calm confidence, steady leadership, and ease that actually lasts… this one's for you.

How do you write a future that feels real? We sit down with environmental scientist and war correspondent Paul E Hardisty to discuss the conclusion of his “The Forcing” trilogy and why literacy is our last defense against a new feudalism.The Road to Writing: From 5-Year-Old Typist to Front-Line Witness.Paul E Hardisty didn't take the traditional path to becoming a critically acclaimed novelist. Though he began typing stories at age five, he hit a wall at eighteen. Inspired by Hemingway's advice to “Write what you know,” Paul realized he didn't know anything yet.He spent the next 30 years gaining that knowledge as an environmental scientist and journalist, reporting from dangerous regions like Yemen, Ethiopia, and most recently, the battlefields of Ukraine.“I want to write fiction that comes as close to truth—conveying essential truth—as possible. I think that is the purpose of literature.” — Paul E Hardisty.Confronting “The Hope”: A Vision of 2082.The interview centers on the release of The Hope, the explosive conclusion to a trilogy that started with The Forcing and The Descent.Set in a windswept, contracted world where the global population has plummeted below a billion, The Hope introduces us to Boo, a 16-year-old with a photographic memory living in a society where books are illegal and literacy has vanished.BUY IT HERE.Writing Advice: The Iceberg Principle.For the writers in our community, Paul shares his “anti-course” philosophy. Having never taken a creative writing class, he advocates for:* Finding your own path: “Be yourself, because everyone else is already taken.”* The Iceberg Principle: Focus on immediacy—sights, smells, and tactile feelings—rather than being didactic.* Biting on the Nail: Inspired by Hemingway, Paul's Substack name refers to the discipline of getting up and doing the hard work of writing, no matter what happened the night before.Key Themes from the Episode:* The Science of Fiction: Paul explains how he used robust IPCC climate projections to build a plausible 2082, focusing on “refugia”—pockets of the planet that remain habitable.* The New Feudalism: A chilling warning about how plummeting literacy rates and the rise of the smartphone era could mirror the dark ages, making society easier to dominate.* Authenticity in Action: Paul discusses his three trips to Ukraine (with a fourth planned) and how bearing witness to trauma and stoicism informs the emotional core of his work.

The Jesse Scouts crippled Lee's retreat by intercepting supply trains, forcing the Confederate surrender at Appomattox. Rejecting guerrilla warfare to preserve the nation, Lee accepted Grant's respectful terms. Post-war, former partisan Mosby surprisingly became a Republican and close friend of President Grant, aiding national reconciliation.

In part two of our conversation, Donna Noble and Hannah explore what it really means to practise and teach yoga in a way that supports comfort, safety and confidence over performance or appearance.We talk about how different bodies experience the same pose in completely different ways, why cues are never neutral, and how teaching without curiosity can quietly erode trust. Donna reflects on learning to work with sensation rather than against it, and how this shift changed not only her practice but her understanding of what yoga is for.This episode invites teachers and long term practitioners to consider responsibility, choice and the impact of language in yoga spaces. It's a conversation about creating environments where people feel supported to stay, rather than pushed to fit.A grounded, honest listen for anyone interested in yoga that feels good, not forced.About DonnaDonna Noble is an author, and speaker on body positivity, diversity and inclusion, social justice, wellbeing and Yoga.Donna's personal mission has always been to improve diversity and inclusion in the Yoga and wellbeing space and within corporate environments, whilst also championing health and wellbeing for everyone.Donna continually works towards making a difference and leaving behind a legacy of greater diversity and inclusion.Donna shares her passion for promoting health and wellbeing and creating inclusive spaces within the yoga and wellbeing industry in a light-hearted and accessible way.  She was also one of the original co-creators of the UK's first Black Fitness Festival in 2020Donna has delivered numerous workshops, at conferences and for various organisations on diversity inclusion, social justice and body positivity.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.This video is all about one thing that decides whether trades work or fail: alignment between the market, the sector, and the stock. If those three are not pointing in the same direction, trading gets harder, drawdowns get deeper, and frustration ramps up fast. When they are aligned, trading feels cleaner, calmer, and far more consistent.A major point hammered home is how little control an individual stock actually has on its own. Roughly speaking, the market drives the biggest portion of price movement. The sector comes next. The stock itself is last. That means you can find what looks like a perfect setup, but if the market is weak or the sector is getting crushed, the odds are stacked against you before you even click buy.This is why cash is treated as a real position, not a failure. When the market is on a sell signal, the goal is not to be clever. The goal is to protect capital. Forcing trades in bad conditions is how accounts slowly bleed. Sitting in cash keeps risk low and leaves room to press when conditions improve.A lot of time is spent on options risk management, specifically rolling for credit. Rolling is not about trading more or being active for the sake of it. It is about reducing risk. Every roll for credit offsets the original cost of the trade, removes exposure, and locks in progress. Even if the trade completely collapses later, the damage is dramatically smaller than if nothing had been managed along the way.Another important concept is how winning streaks can actually be dangerous. After a run of good trades, many traders start sizing up, bending rules, or assuming the next trade will behave like the last one. That is usually when losses hit hardest. Each trade is independent. The market does not care what happened yesterday. Discipline matters most when confidence is high.Volatility and structure also matter, especially with options. Leveraged ETFs, wide bid ask spreads, low open interest, and volatility drag can all distort pricing. If you do not understand how these forces work, options can move against you even when the stock looks fine on the surface.Here are the key ideas covered in detail:✅ Market direction matters more than any single stock setup✅ Sector strength can amplify gains or completely cap them✅ Stock setups only work best when market and sector agree✅ Cash is a strategic position when conditions are poor✅ Rolling options for credit removes risk instead of chasing upside✅ Partial profits protect accounts during pullbacks✅ Winning streaks increase risk if discipline slips✅ Volatility drag impacts leveraged ETFs over time✅ Liquidity and spreads directly affect option performanceThe OVTLYR framework is used throughout to keep decisions objective. Signals are not predictions. They are filters. If alignment is missing, the answer is simple: do nothing. If alignment is present, risk can be taken with intention instead of hope.This approach strips trading down to its core. Protect capital first. Trade when conditions are favorable. Manage risk aggressively. Let winners run without getting emotional. The goal is not excitement. The goal is survival and consistency over time.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd. Start trading smarter today

In hard parenting seasons, recognizing God's presence can feel complicated. Not because God is absent — but because His faithfulness often shows up quietly. In Episode 3 of the Still Faithful series, we explore what it means to notice God's hand without forcing gratitude, positivity, or resolution. This episode is an invitation to spiritual awareness rooted in honesty, not pressure. If you've ever wondered whether you're "missing" God in a painful season — or felt unsure how to talk about His presence when nothing feels resolved — this episode offers a gentle place to pause and reflect. This conversation isn't about finding silver linings. It's about making room to notice what's been steady, subtle, and sustaining.   In this episode, we talk about: Why God's faithfulness often feels quiet in hard years The difference between spiritual awareness and forced positivity How God's presence may show up through people, restraint, or truth rather than outcomes Why "I don't know yet" can still be a faithful answer How to remain open to God without demanding clarity   Reflection questions: Take your time with these — there's no rush. Where do I recognize God's hand, even faintly, in this past season? Who did God place in my life to steady me when I felt unsure? What truth did God gently remind me of when everything felt uncertain? And remember: If the answer feels like "I don't know yet," that's okay. God meets us there too.   A gentle reminder: God's faithfulness doesn't disappear in hard years. Sometimes it just shows up quietly. Faith doesn't require forced meaning or immediate clarity — only continued presence.   About the series: Still Faithful Still Faithful is a podcast series for Christian parents navigating painful, unresolved parenting journeys — including estrangement, distance, and seasons where a child's choices challenge deeply held beliefs. This series is designed to help you: Release shame Name pain honestly Recognize God's presence without pressure Stay rooted when trust feels fragile Move forward faithfully, one step at a time God has entrusted this journey and your child to you. As you engage with Him — even quietly, even uncertainly — He will equip you for each next step.

You understand why you avoid. You see the pattern. And you're still doing it. In this episode, Kim Polinder explores the frustrating gap between self-awareness and actual change — and why insight alone rarely leads to different behavior. Rather than framing change as a decision or a motivation problem, this conversation breaks down procrastination as a capacity issue. Kim walks through four common "false fixes" people rely on when they're trying to change — strategies that look responsible on the surface but quietly reinforce avoidance. Using real-life relational examples, nervous system science, and practical reframes, this episode explains why waiting to feel calm, trying to be perfect, forcing yourself through hard moments, or endlessly consuming self-help content often backfires. The focus is not on fixing yourself, but on building emotional capacity: the ability to stay present with discomfort, repair when things go sideways, and stop turning one hard moment into a verdict about who you are. Timestamps & Topics [00:00:00] – The Conundrum: Why self-awareness doesn't change behavior. [00:01:39] – Defining Capacity: Why change requires extreme discomfort. [00:02:48] – False Fix #1: Waiting to feel calm or "ready" before acting. [00:03:59] – False Fix #2: The perfectionism trap and the cost of "doing it right".

Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The defense suffered a major setback when the judge ruled that their scientific experts could not testify before the jury, forcing them to read affidavits into the record instead. H.L. Mencken, the acerbic journalist who dubbed the event the "Monkey Trial," covered the proceedings. Sympathetic to Darrow and critical of Bryan's"fanatic" views, Mencken influenced public perception, though the jury remained shielded from the scientific evidence the defense hoped to present.1960 FREDERIC MARCH AS WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN "INHERIT THE WIND"

Negotiations don't fall apart because of bad tactics — they fall apart when emotions go unmanaged. In this Negotiation Masterclass episode of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian explores why emotional intelligence is the real difference-maker in high-stakes conversations. Through three expert perspectives, you'll see how self-awareness, emotional control, and empathy shape outcomes long before strategy ever comes into play. You'll learn how to regulate your emotions under pressure, read others more accurately, build trust before conflict, and avoid the costly mistakes that come from emotional blind spots. This episode shows why the best negotiators aren't just skilled communicators—they're emotionally disciplined leaders. If you want to negotiate with clarity, composure, and long-term influence, this masterclass will change how you approach every difficult conversation.

Today, I'm looking at the idea of using accountability as a "forcing function" that can transform our cherished goals from wishful intentions into accomplished realities. If you ever wonder why our work projects always seem to get done while personal goals keep getting relegated to "someday," this episode will hit home. I'm sharing why our personal lives lack the built-in accountability and structures that make professional commitments non-negotiable, because, get this, motivation isn't enough. I'll explain that with examples, insights from behavioral science, and actionable steps to harness accountability mechanisms to accomplish your most important priorities. Discover the value of enlisting paid professionals (and even some unlikely familiar faces) as accountability allies! Accountability doesn't add pressure! It powerfully creates freedom by clearing space for what matters most to you. I'm inviting you to hit play and discover a few simple shifts to make this your year to soar.  Show Highlights: Last call to register for our free January workshop. [00:47] Why do work goals win and personal goals get shelved? [03:09] Forcing functions and accountability power. [05:23] Can self-sufficiency beliefs hinder external accountability?

A GLOBAL WAR AND THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY Colleague Joseph Ellis. The entry of France and Spaintransformed the rebellion into a global war, forcing Britain to prioritize the Caribbean over the colonies. Charles Leewas disgraced for his behavior at Monmouth, while the British shifted to a Southern strategy to retain valuable territory. Simultaneously, Washington ordered a brutal campaign against the Iroquois Confederacy, allies of the British, resulting in the destruction of their villages in a "dirty war" on the frontier.

Regional Tensions: U.S. Pressure on Mexico and South American Shifts. Guest: PROFESSOR EVAN ELLIS, U.S. Army War College. The U.S. is pushing Mexico for joint military operations against cartels, forcing President Sheinbaum into a "delicate dance" to protect sovereignty. Meanwhile, Brazil's Lula balances leftist ties against a conservative military, and Colombia shows a potential shift to the right as Petro's policies face significant discredit.1647

In this episode, Michael is joined by Joel Hilchey, an engineer turned training and development expert, to explore the realities of leadership for accidental managers. Hilchey discusses his book The Six and a Half Habits of Highly Defective Bosses, a guide that uncovers the challenges leaders face when transitioning from high performing individual contributors to effective team managers. Joel highlights the importance of managing both tasks and people. He explains that great leaders must balance short term project priorities with long term strategy, while also attending to immediate team dynamics and the larger arc of each team member's career development. Through personal stories, including one involving a former assistant, Joel illustrates how managers can better understand the aspirations of their teams and create meaningful support structures. Transforming a Toxic Healthcare Work Environment Michael shares a powerful real world example from his leadership journey in healthcare. He describes stepping into a clinic plagued with an 86 percent annual turnover rate and transforming it into a stable environment with only six percent turnover within a year. His approach included listening closely to the team, removing unnecessary obstacles, and making small but consistent improvements. Joel points out that this reflects research showing employees most often leave because of their relationship with management, not their peers. He emphasizes the concept of “de hassling” employees as a critical leadership practice that empowers people to do their best work. Lean Principles vs. Real Worker Efficiency Michael also reflects on Lean methodologies through a humorous and insightful hospital anecdote. A seasoned nurse, repeatedly told to move her equipment cart, finally threatened to use her access to needles if the relocation happened again. The directive immediately stopped. This moment illustrates that while Lean principles aim to streamline systems, leaders must recognize times when established worker routines already support peak efficiency. Forcing change without understanding context can undermine performance rather than improve it. Leadership Principles for High Performing Teams In their discussion of leadership essentials, Hilchey and Michael emphasize the importance of nurturing high performers instead of burning them out or discouraging them. They highlight the role of managers in understanding what their teams need to excel and the power of frequent, authentic recognition. Joel shares insights from The Six and a Half Habits of Highly Defective Bosses, urging leaders to take responsibility when mistakes occur, focus on solutions rather than blame, and cultivate environments where people can thrive. These principles, he explains, are foundational for building motivated and resilient teams. https://JoelHilchey.com  

If sex in your long-term relationship feels expected, routine, or disconnected, you're not alone. In Part 2 of our 50 best sex tips for 2026 series, we talk about desire, pressure, and how to build a more satisfying sex life that actually feels good. This episode is about when sex starts to feel like something you're doing because you're supposed to. Going through the motions. Having sex because it feels expected. Checking boxes. Trying to be a good partner. Forcing yourself to want it. And still wondering why it doesn't feel good. We cover: Doing what you think you're supposed to do. Why “good partner” sex often disconnects you from what you actually want and feel. Going through the motions. How routine, obligation, and autopilot sex quietly drains desire. Having sex because it feels expected. Why expectation creates pressure and shuts desire down. Checking boxes instead of tuning in. How tracking frequency, effort, or outcomes pulls you out of connection. Forcing yourself to want it. Why trying to manufacture desire backfires. Trying to be a good partner. How people-pleasing and self-abandonment show up in sex. Wondering why it still doesn't feel good. Why “fine” sex can still feel empty and what actually changes that.
