Anne Ghesquière welcomes Dr Gabor Maté, a world-renowned physician, speaker, and bestselling author. Dr Gabor Maté explore a radically different view of health and human beings and invites us to shift our perspective, to stop asking “What's wrong with me?” and begin asking the far more compassionate question: “What happened to me?”What if what we call “normal” is actually deeply unbalanced? Why is there so much psychological and physical suffering in so-called developed societies? What if many of today's illnesses, anxieties, trauma and addictions are not personal failures, but intelligent responses to a world that asks us to disconnect from ourselves? How can we understand the deep links between trauma, the body, emotions, and behavior? His latest book, The Myth of Normal, is published in French by Guy Trèdaniel Editions, le Mythe de la normalité. Discover his psychotherapeutic approach on his site. Episode #664Some quotes from the podcast with Dr Gabor Maté:“Normal doesn't mean healthy or natural.

In this episode of Superpowers for Good, Julie Colombino-Billingham, Founder and CEO of Deux Mains, an affordable luxury goods company manufacturing ethical products in Haiti, shares her inspiring story. Julie's work demonstrates how business can be a force for good, especially in one of the most economically challenged countries in the Western Hemisphere.Julie didn't arrive in Haiti to start a business. After the devastating 2010 earthquake, she deployed as a trained disaster responder to help with relief efforts. What began as a short-term mission turned into a life-changing journey. “The women of Haiti were so strong, so brave, and so courageous,” Julie explained. “I really just wanted to be like them…I ended up staying and living there for five years and starting this business.”Deux Mains, which means “two hands” in French, is a testament to the power of collaboration and perseverance. The company manufactures luxury handbags, wallets, and other leather goods using deadstock leather and materials from responsible tanneries. These products, crafted by Haitian artisans earning a fair wage, are now sold in major retailers like Nordstrom and Kohl's. Despite the country's instability, Deux Mains continues to thrive. “The business is not only growing but flourishing under the leadership of my Haitian colleagues,” Julie said.Beyond exporting chic handbags, Deux Mains has a significant local impact. Last year, they manufactured and distributed 10,000 pairs of leather school shoes for Haitian children. The factory, powered entirely by solar energy, employs 45 full-time staff and serves as a model for sustainable development in Haiti.Julie's story is one of transformation—both personal and collective. Her journey highlights how listening to the needs of a community can inspire lasting change. “A woman said to me, ‘Hey, white lady, I don't want water. I need a job,'” Julie recalled. That moment shifted her perspective from short-term aid to creating long-term economic opportunities.Deux Mains proves that ethical fashion can make a global impact while empowering local communities. Julie's vision serves as a powerful reminder that meaningful change begins when we listen, act with purpose, and invest in people.tl;dr:Julie Colombino-Billingham founded Deux Mains after witnessing Haiti's resilience following the 2010 earthquake.Deux Mains creates ethical, sustainable luxury goods while employing Haitian artisans earning a living wage.The company's solar-powered factory produces products sold globally, including in Nordstrom and Kohl's.Julie credits her success to listening deeply to community needs, focusing on long-term economic impact.The episode highlights Julie's superpower of listening, offering actionable tips for cultivating this skill.How to Develop Deep Listening As a SuperpowerJulie's superpower is her ability to listen deeply and empathetically, enabling her to understand and act on the real needs of others. Reflecting on her early days in Haiti, she shared a pivotal moment: “A woman said to me, ‘Hey, white lady, I don't want any water. I need a job.'” That simple yet profound statement transformed Julie's approach, shifting her focus from short-term disaster relief to launching Deux Mains, a business creating sustainable jobs for Haitians. Listening, as Julie explained, “revolutionized my experience and my participation.”Julie shared a story that exemplifies her superpower in action. Early in her time in Haiti, she grew frustrated with the mess in the factory, asking, “Why is everything always a mess here?” Her Haitian business partner, Jolina, calmly replied, “We don't have any garbage cans.” This moment reminded Julie to step outside her own frame of reference and truly listen to her colleagues. By addressing such a simple, overlooked need, she cultivated a culture of collaboration and respect that continues to define Deux Mains.Tips for Developing Deep Listening:Believe that everyone in the room has valuable insights to contribute.Step outside your own perspective to understand others' realities.Ask open-ended questions to uncover underlying needs and concerns.Build trust by acting on the feedback you receive.Practice humility when faced with solutions that challenge your assumptions.By following Julie's example and advice, you can make deep listening a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

As we were driving in, we passed a small group of maybe 30 people holding large “F ICE” signs, spelled out. Many of the houses in the neighborhood also had signs saying “F ICE” and similar messages. When we were leaving to drive back to the hotel, we passed the group again. At that point, the resistance group stepped out in front of our car and would not let us drive. One woman appeared to be looking at our license plate and doing something on her phone. She was standing directly in front of the car, blocking us — I cannot imagine being a sane person and living in this city. We were with my brother-in-law's family, and they said that restaurants and other places are empty because of this, the resistance is out doing their thing, and the normal people are just staying home and not going out.' https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2018412853435527587?s=20 https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2018416970111311967?s=20 the execution of federal laws.

In any event, this case will continue until justice is served. Dr. Alan Garber, the President of Harvard, has done a terrible job of rectifying a very bad situation for his institution and, more importantly, America, itself. He was hired AFTER the antisemitism charges were brought – I wonder why??? We are now seeking One Billion Dollars in damages, and want nothing further to do, into the future, with Harvard University. As The Failing New York Times clearly stated, “Some connected to the University, however, think Harvard has no option but to eventually cut a deal. The Administration has repeatedly attempted to cut off research grants, which would be an untenable crises. Like many major research universities, Harvard relies on federal funding for its financial model.” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP Macron's Authorities Raid Elon Musk's X French Offices in Paris Under the direction of France's globalist President Macron, French authorities escalated their confrontation with American tech entrepreneur Elon Musk this week, launching high-profile raids of X's offices in Paris and summoning Musk himself for what prosecutors termed a “voluntary interview.” The move marks a dramatic intensification of France's long-running effort to rein in the America-based free-speech platform. According to the Paris public prosecutor's office, the operation was carried out by French cybercrime units with assistance from Europol, targeting the French premises of X. Authorities claim the investigation centers on whether X's algorithm improperly influenced French political discourse. Summonses were issued to Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino, calling them to Paris in April 2026 to answer questions related to the probe. Yaccarino, who stepped down last year, is listed alongside Musk as a manager during the period under review. French prosecutors later broadened their inquiry, citing concerns related to X's AI chatbot Grok, including claims it produced offensive or false content. Musk's company responded by correcting errors, removing disputed posts, and publicly documenting its moderation actions—steps critics say would have been praised had they come from a European firm.

Leading up to the Dutch elections of 2023 the EU commission even made the then Dutch Interior Ministry @hugodejonge a “trusted flagger” entitled to make priority censorship requests under the DSA. What kind of political speech did they want to censor, you ask? – “Populist rhetoric” – “Anti-government/anti-EU content” – “Anti-elite” content – “Political satire” – “Anti-migrant and Islamophobic content” – “Anti-refugee content/anti-immigrant sentiment” – “Anti-LGBTQI content” – “Meme subculture” In other words, anything that goes against their agenda, anything remotely right-wing or conservative, and anything pertaining to the disastrous migrant situation we have here in Europe. And guess what the only platform was that did not cooperate? @X , of course. The same platform that the EU is fining for 120 million euros under the DSA and the same platform that is currently having its offices raided in France. This is the type of stuff over which governments should resign and institutions like the EU should fall. Democracy is dead. Abolish the EU!

Facing ‘Imminent Financial Collapse' Admits Secretary General as Countries Won't Cough Up Membership Fees The United Nations is facing an “imminent financial collapse” as member states refuse to cough up billions of dollars in mandatory contributions. The financial woes were laid out in an emergency letter from Secretary-General António Guterres sent to all 193 member countries. Guterres said the organisation's financial crisis is worsening rapidly, threatening the delivery of core programmes and potentially leaving the U.N. bankrupt by July. He urged member states to either pay what they owe in full or agree to sweeping changes to the UN's financial rules to avoid collapse. “Either all member states honour their obligations to pay in full and on time—or member states must fundamentally overhaul our financial rules to prevent an imminent financial collapse,” he wrote. The warning comes as the United States, the U.N.'s largest contributor, has refused to fund the organisation's regular and peacekeeping budgets and has withdrawn from multiple UN agencies. The Trump administration has repeatedly criticised the U.N. for wasting taxpayer dollars, appeasing criminal regimes and infringing on the sovereignty of the U.S. and other member nations. Several other member states are also in arrears or have declined to pay their assessed contributions.

Refrigerators containing unknown liquids and vials of suspected biological material were found inside the residence, prompting an aggressive response from HazMat teams, SWAT units, and FBI specialists due to the potential threat presented by the materials, The Hill reported. At least one individual was taken into custody in connection with the Las Vegas raid, identified by local officials as a 55-year-old property manager, Ori Solomon. He is currently booked on felony charges linked to the improper disposal of hazardous waste, though investigators continue to determine the full scope of charges that may arise. Property records reveal that the Las Vegas home is owned by “David Destiny Discovery, LLC,” according to The Sun. If that name sounds familiar, it should. It is a shell company registered to Jia Bei Zhu (also known as David He), the very same Chinese national who ran the illegal Reedley, California biolab exposed in 2023. Zhu, a fugitive from Canada with deep ties to the Chinese government, is currently in federal custody. The FBI has taken the lead in analyzing the more than 1,000 samples collected from the scene, with evidence transported to federal laboratories for further testing. https://twitter.com/RepKiley/status/2018514131876213199?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2018514131876213199%7Ctwgr%5E1616a599ecdcff26961307ece268007bf47acbbc%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F02%2Ffbi-raids-illegal-biolab-inside-private-home-las%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2018714265247453494?s=20 https://twitter.com/liz_churchill10/status/2018321118000476222?s=20 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2017614901028786500?s=20 [DS] Agenda BREAKING: Jill Biden's Ex-Husband Arrested and Charged with Murder of His Wife Jill Biden's ex-husband Bill Stevenson was charged with first-degree murder of his wife, Linda Stevenson.

This would effectively keep the government open while allowing Republican senators to break through the “zombie” filibuster and put the SAVE America Act up for a vote on the Senate floor. The standing filibuster is not common parliamentary procedure, but it is one of the only mechanisms available to go around senators who want to block voter ID. @LeaderJohnThune we are very pleased that you are discussing the standing filibuster, and we believe you will go down in history if this is pulled off as one of the best leaders the Senate has ever had.

In one year we have seen more productive conservative change in the federal government than with every other GOP president since Reagan combined. Trump has significantly degraded the Deep State in a way most of us could only dream of ten years ago. Moreover, Trump's economic policies are bearing fruit right now and we will likely see a very strong economy by the midterms. But… Ah yes, the midterms. I know so many of you will only be happy when Bill Clinton, Hillary, Obama and Joe Biden are in jail, but you need to join the world of reality. Right now Trump and his team are gauging everything they do through the lens of “How will this effect the midterms?” They have sophisticated polling that you and I will never see, and at the moment every Trump action is tempered by “Let's be aggressive but not in such a way it turns public opinion against us before the midterms.” Trump knows that if he loses the midterms, all is lost. The Dems will constantly impeach him and most of his cabinet, and even if the Senate never convicts, the acts of impeachment will grind the Trump machine to a halt. The midterms are everything. So I'm warning you, from now until November you are going to see a less aggressive Trump If you are a Doomster for whom nothing is ever enough, you need to understand why that is. But here is the good news. I believe that one day after the midterms Trump will once again go shock and awe for a year, and then back off again in 2028 to get JD or Rubio elected. (For example, I can easily see Trump taking zero drastic action in the near term to further inflame the Minnesota situation, but invoking the Insurrection Act the day after the midterms and sending in the 82nd.) Since the Super Bowl is coming up, consider it this way: In the first quarter, Trump ran up the score. In the second quarter, he went prevent defense to hold onto the lead. After halftime, once again in the third quarter he will run up the score, and then hold the lead in the fourth quarter to win the game. This is not Qtard “trust the plan” nonsense. This is simply good political strategy. Everyone needs to realize two things: (1) the Constitution includes checks and balances that inherently weaken the absolute power of each branch and (2) even though they are in the minority, Democrats still have a HUGE say. Our system is DESIGNED THIS WAY. We have to account for the opposition—you cannot ignore them. With that in mind, I have every confidence that Trump and his team will navigate through a treacherous course and come out on the winning side. I’m hoping this post makes the things you see in the months ahead more comprehensible. Have a nice day. https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2018742785017336107?s=20 the SAVE Act is not included in the government funding bill that advanced via the 217-215 House procedural vote on February 3, 2026. That legislation is a $1.2 trillion spending package funding most federal agencies through September 30, 2026, while extending funding for the Department of Homeland Security only through February 13, 2026, to allow for further negotiations on immigration enforcement. Efforts by some conservative Republicans to attach the SAVE Act—a separate bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration—were rejected during the process, following calls from President Trump to pass the package without changes.

Guest: Simon Constable. Constable reports from France with a resident European pine marten, offering observations on rural life and wildlife in the French countryside.2870 SIEGE OF PARIS
Today's Headlines: Europe was unusually productive yesterday. French authorities raided Twitter's Paris offices as part of a cybercrime investigation, summoned Elon Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino (voluntarily, lol), and announced France is ditching Zoom and Microsoft Teams in favor of its own platform. Spain followed up by unveiling plans to crack down on social media algorithms and hold tech executives personally liable for illegal or hateful content, after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez accused Musk of amplifying disinformation about Spain's immigration policy. Not to be outdone, Poland's prime minister said Jeffrey Epstein was likely a Russian intelligence asset — and said his government plans to investigate. Back in the U.S., Trump floated the idea of “nationalizing” elections during a podcast appearance and teased more fallout from last week's FBI raid in Georgia, despite elections being run by states under the Constitution. Democrats held a public forum on ICE abuses that Republicans skipped entirely, featuring testimony from people shot at, assaulted, or detained without cause — including a disabled woman who says she was dragged from her car and later treated in an ER for assault. Meanwhile, ICE is reportedly preparing a major operation targeting Haitian immigrants in Ohio as TPS protections expire, even as the agency quietly spends hundreds of millions buying warehouses to convert into detention centers.Elsewhere, DC U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro briefly threatened jail time for anyone bringing a gun into the district before walking it back, Trump continued his Kennedy Center renovation saga, and New York Magazine published a deeply unsettling profile of Rep. Nancy Mace detailing erratic behavior and staff misuse.

If you haven't seen the Apple TV Series "Drops of God", you must change that quickly. This is, in my opinion, the single best wine show/movie ever done. It's not hokey, it shows wine in a realistic and good light, and it's a cool story. The show, whose first season dropped in 2023, won the International Emmy Awards for Best Drama Series and has been praised for its beautiful cinematography, skilled acting, and accurate portrayal of certain elements of the wine world. It's actually based on a Japanese manga series of the same name that was wildly popular. Season one was so successful that Drops of God was renewed for a second season, which is currently unfolding week after week on Apple TV. Season one is still available for you to watch if you missed it. In this show, I sit down with Sebastien "Seb" Pradal, who was the man behind all the wine knowledge in this show. He worked with the writers and actors to get all the facts and details of the wines right. Although he won the very prestigious Best Young Sommelier of France in 1997, Seb took the entrepreneurial route instead of working as a somm. He leads a wine distribution and consulting agency, owns the fine dining restaurant La Petite Régalade in Paris, where he showcases French gastronomy and highlights independent producers and cool wines, and he imports French wines into Mexico and Colombia. He was selected by the writers working on "Drops of God" to help them make the series true to the wine world in a non-snobby way. He was charged with making all wine-related activities authentic, and we worked closely with the actors to teach them about wine, wine tasting, and the wine world (he told me offline that the actors now order and drink wine regularly and know their way around a list!). This podcast will give you a rare glimpse into why this show is so successful in portraying the wine world when many others have fallen short. And that glimpse really is all about Seb Pradal and his contributions to the show. He is a delightful person and shares some fun insider information about the inner workings of how a production of this caliber gets made. As promised, here are the links we mention in the show: Seb's Paris restaurant: La Petite Régalade Georgian wine Seb calls his "Grail": Marani Ruispiri, Giorgi Aladashvini Information on Lignage grape: Lignage and Clos du Tue-Boeuf Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon.

In this episode Sean and James examine the Battle of Verdun, the first of 1916’s colossal offensives and one of the longest and bloodiest battles in world history. They discuss German commander Erich von Falkenhayn’s plan to “bleed France white” by attacking the fortress city of Verdun, and how General Philippe Pétain’s leadership and innovations kept the French from collapse. The hosts trace the battle’s brutal back-and-forth fighting, staggering casualties, and the ultimate failure of the German strategy. Finally, they explore Verdun’s lasting symbolic power as the embodiment of both the horrors and the endurance of the First World War.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when the "move fast and break things" start-up philosophy comes for infertility treatments? Exactly what you'd expect: cut corners, bad service, aesthetically pleasing offices that can't seem to stop churning staff, upsells backed by dubious science, and more.

Annemarie Ettekoven publicly described Jean-Luc Brunel as a predatory figure who operated with impunity inside Jeffrey Epstein's orbit, portraying him as a man who openly trafficked in young girls and treated sexual exploitation as routine. She stated that Brunel moved comfortably among powerful people, leveraged his modeling connections to access vulnerable girls, and acted with a confidence that suggested he believed he was protected. Ettekoven emphasized that Brunel was not a peripheral player but an active participant in the same abuse ecosystem that sustained Epstein, and she made clear that his behavior was widely known within certain circles long before authorities intervened.Ettekoven also pointed to the importance of the evidence provided by Virginia Roberts Giuffre to French authorities, describing it as detailed, specific, and corroborative of long-standing allegations against Brunel. Giuffre's testimony included accounts of being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to Brunel in France, along with descriptions of locations, timelines, and conduct that French investigators treated as credible enough to form the backbone of their case. Ettekoven underscored that Giuffre's cooperation was central to establishing jurisdiction and momentum in France, and that without her evidence, Brunel likely would have continued to evade serious legal scrutiny for years longer than he did.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of Brad & Abbey Live, Brad and Abbey dig into the visible panic emerging across media, political, and global power structures as long-standing narratives begin to fracture. They react to reports of French authorities targeting X, unpacking claims around algorithm manipulation and alleged misuse of AI, and explore why free speech platforms are suddenly under coordinated pressure. The conversation expands into broader patterns of control, touching on media manipulation, selective enforcement, and the growing desperation of institutions that once held unquestioned authority. Brad and Abbey also examine resurfaced footage and statements involving Bill Gates, questioning pandemic preparedness narratives, vaccine advocacy, and the implications of past investments and public remarks. Throughout the episode, they connect these developments to information warfare, public perception management, and the importance of context in an era dominated by edited clips and manufactured outrage. The result is a wide-ranging, high-energy discussion focused on exposure, accountability, and why the current moment feels like a turning point rather than just another news cycle.

Not all plant-based foods support heart health — ultraprocessed items may actually increase cardiovascular risk despite their "vegan" label A large French cohort study of over 63,000 adults found an approximately 40% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk when participants ate minimally processed, nutrient-rich plant foods There was also a 38% increase in overall cardiovascular disease risk when diets were dominated by ultraprocessed, low-quality plant-based foods, even if they appeared "healthy" Key red flags include: high sodium in vegan meats and deli slices, seed oils that damage mitochondrial function, refined starches/sugars, and gut-disrupting additives like methylcellulose and gums The most protective plant-based diets are built from whole foods with minimal processing, like legumes, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains
Royal favourites, we want your voice notes in our new miniseries on historical failures. Look out for Producer Al's callout post on patreon.com/thisishistory England's grip on France is collapsing. After more than a century of brutal conflict, English forces across the Channel are exhausted, bankrupt, and beaten down. In London, hopes rest on King Henry VI — now an adult and expected to rescue his father's dying empire. But Henry is no warrior king, and the French are dismantling England's hard‑won gains with shocking ease. Then, a new force enters the fray: Margaret of Anjou. Young, formidable, and newly crowned Queen of England, she becomes a lightning rod for ambition, fear, and bitter factional rivalries. Some believe she can save England's fortunes in France; others fear she is about to upend the entire balance of power at court. As defeat looms and alliances fracture, this episode traces how Margaret of Anjou steps into a failing war — and begins reshaping the fate of the Hundred Years' War, the English crown, and the violent political battles still to come. – And don't forget, you can now WATCH every This Is History episode on YouTube.

Affordable Interior Design presents Big Design, Small Budget
In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I share how unexpectedly energized I've been by diving into TikTok for the first time, using it as a creative outlet for design inspiration, trend commentary, and playful content creation, before answering a listener's question about whether French bistro–style X-back dining chairs are a fad (they're not—I love them and consider them a timeless, practical choice, especially for families). I then pivot to pop culture and unpack my long-anticipated but ultimately disappointing experience watching Netflix's Secret Mall Apartment, a documentary about artists secretly building a hidden space inside a Rhode Island mall; while I was fascinated by the premise and the broader ideas around reclaiming unused space, I felt misled by the title, underwhelmed by the focus on artistic philosophy over logistics, and unconvinced by staged reenactments—making it a watch I don't regret, but definitely won't revisit. Timestamps: 00:00 – TikTok is unexpectedly fueling my design creativity 04:30 – Submit your design questions and room dilemmas 07:30 – Are French bistro X-back dining chairs classic or trendy? 14:30 – Comfort, kids, and when bistro chairs do (and don't) work 17:00 – My take on Netflix's Secret Mall Apartment 36:30 – Final thoughts, verdict, and what I wish the documentary had done differently Links: Uploft.com AffordableInteriorDesign.com Submit your design questions to be featured on the show Become a Premium Member and access the bonus episodes Click here to become an interior designer with Uploft's Interior Design Academy.

A stunning escalation in the global war on free speech. ⚠️ French authorities, Europol, and cybercrime units are now investigating leadership tied to X (formerly Twitter)—alleging everything from algorithm manipulation to complicity in illegal content. But is this really about crime… or censorship? This episode breaks down why critics say the investigation has nothing to do with protecting children—and everything to do with silencing dissent, controlling algorithms, and punishing platforms that refuse to censor political speech. From the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) to threats of massive fines, extradition fears, and the targeting of Elon Musk himself, this may be the most serious threat to global free speech yet.
French prosecutors raided Elon Musk's X offices in Paris as part of a cybercrime investigation into alleged illegal data extraction and possible links to child pornography.Also, US and India reach trade deal to slash US tariffs on the nation's goods to 18% from 50%.And the European Union has told the BBC it was unacceptable for the US to threaten trade tariffs during its row over the future of Greenland.Presenter: Leanna Byrne Producer: David Cann Editor: Justin Bones

Many types of animals help each other—an activity called "altruism"—even though some of these animals would normally eat each other. Different kinds of animals that help each other pose a serious problem for those who deny an all-wise Creator. Evolution has lots of reasons why natural enemies would not cooperate to help each other. But consider the example of the yellow-tailed goat fish.The yellow-tailed goat fish is a mostly white fish that swims in small schools. They often cruise around reefs where the yellow French angel fish live. The angel fish hide from the goat fish who might eat them. However, the goat fish are often bothered by parasites that lodge in their scales and gills. When this happens, the goat fish swim to the reef in which the angel fish live and blush a bright rust red color.When this happens, the angel fish knows that the goat fish has not come for lunch but to be cleaned. So the angel fish swims out and cleans the goat fish of his uncomfortable and unhealthy parasites! When the goat fish is clean, he stops blushing and swims off to leave the angel fish in peace.Is it possible that our wise Creator has provided for the needs of His creatures in a way that could provide these unexplained mysteries for those who want to explain things without Him? We think so. We think this is one of the ways in which His glory, power and wisdom are made evident to those who don't want to admit an intelligent Creator.Job 36:22"'Behold, God is exalted by His power; who teaches like Him?'"Prayer: Lord; I thank You that You leave those who are proud in the imaginations of their own hearts unsatisfied, so that they may continue to seek You while satisfying those who look only to You. Help me always to seek You first in all things. Amen.Image: School of yellow-tailed goat fish, Envato. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1232/29?v=20251111
This week, we're exploring the quiet ways perfectionism disguises itself as discipline, responsibility, and even maturity, and how "I'll enjoy it when…" might be the very phrase keeping you from fully living. Through a personal reflection on home, hosting, entrepreneurship, and high-capacity womanhood, Colet is unpacking how waiting for the perfect conditions can quietly delay joy, connection, and momentum. Press play and you'll walk away with a gentler, more liberating lens on participation, one that allows you to light the candle, pour the wine, host the dinner, start the project, and stop postponing your life for a future version of yourself. In this episode, we dive into: • Why "I'll enjoy it when…" is one of the most dangerous narratives we carry • How perfectionism quietly delays joy, connection, and self-trust • The hidden cost of waiting for work, money, or life to "settle down" • What the French understand about daily pleasure and participation • Practical ways to start living now, even in unfinished seasons Useful Resources:
In the late 2000s, two French mountain athletes set out to build a running shoe that captured the feeling of flying. Jean-Luc Diard and Nicolas “Nico” Mermoud had spent decades inside the innovation engine at Salomon—where product was obsession. In 2007, as Nico recovered from a brutal ultramarathon around Mont Blanc, the founders fixed on a problem that Big Footwear didn't care about: downhill running was destroying bodies. Their solution: make the shoe bigger, softer, and shaped like a rocker.At first, their prototypes looked like clown shoes. Runners who preferred minimalist footwear laughed at them. Retailers said no. But the founders kept doing the one thing that they knew could reverse things: they made people try them.HOKA went from under $3M in sales in 2012 to more than $2B a year—and in this episode, you'll hear how it happened: the risky design, the early cash crunch, and the strategic partnership that helped them win the U.S. market.What you'll learn:How to think of a shoe as a machine, not just a piece of apparelThe go-to-market weapon that worked: relentless demo-ing Why outside money can't always solve a cash flow bottleneck (and what does)How HOKA used performance proof to avoid being dismissed as a gimmickWhy HOKA partnered with Deckers—and why it wasn't just about capitalHow to keep a “rebel” mindset as competitors start copying youTimestamps:(Timecodes are approximate and may shift depending on platform.)[07:12] George Salomon's leadership lesson: the CEO who sought advice from an intern[11:11] Nico's first day at Salomon: testing ski prototypes on a glacier[18:42] The ultramarathon race where Nico's legs crumbled (and why)[21:29] A breakthrough insight: performance changes with surface (leaves, lava, snow)[31:25] Designing a sneaker as if it were a car: engine, tires, seat[40:00] The “clown shoe” prototype—and the first successful run [47:22] Elite runners kickstart the brand [49:02] The hard part nobody glamorizes: factory minimums, bank demands, anemic cash flow[53:31] Deckers enters: the minority investment that unlocks the U.S. (without killing the brand)Hey—want to be a guest on HIBT?If you're building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth?Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they're facing right now.

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
We tend to take the index of a book for granted, but centuries ago, these helpful lists were viewed with suspicion. Some even worried that indexes would harm reading comprehension! A witty new book tells the story. Plus, the Latin term bona fides [BOHN-ah FYDZ] was adopted into English to mean "good faith" or "authentic credentials." But there's more than one way to pronounce it. And: say you're off at summer camp, and there's a container in the dining hall labeled ort bucket. What will you find if you look inside? Also: crisp, with one foot in the milk bucket, a brain teaser about nicknames, French gestures, Dutchman, million-dollar family, dungarees, scared water, and nuking food.
