THE DILEMMA OF BIGNESS Colleague Gary Rivlin. How corporate giants like Google were slowed by their own business models, leading Suleyman to leave for Inflection and eventually Microsoft to bypass startup funding issues. NUMBER 15

Never has so much been misunderstood by so many. This episode pulls back the curtain on two explosive fronts unfolding at the same time: Trump's legally executed energy strategy in Venezuela—and the domestic chaos erupting as massive fraud networks, media narratives, and political pressure collide here at home. This isn't a war with Venezuela. It's sanctions enforcement, court orders, and oil leverage—executed with precision. As Venezuelan oil exports grind to a halt and China's energy supply tightens, political prisoners are suddenly released and power dynamics shift overnight. Meanwhile, back in Minnesota, the same political forces screaming about “justice” are accused of shielding corruption, distorting evidence, and targeting federal agents—while hundreds of millions of dollars in suspicious cash flow quietly moves through U.S. airports. Energy. Money. Power. Narrative control. This is what the fight is really about.

Angela is joined by Dr Will B to examine the critical relationship between meal timing, gut health, and inflammation.  They discuss how eating close to bedtime can negatively impact heart rate variability and create an inflammatory state in the body, particularly affecting the gut microbiome. They also look at the importance of allowing the gut to enter a recovery mode during the night and emphasise the benefits of earlier meal times KEY TAKEAWAYS: Meal Timing and Inflammation: Eating close to bedtime can lead to increased inflammation, as the body's inflammatory response peaks about six hours after a meal Importance of Fasting: Allowing the gut a fasting period of about 12 hours overnight can help recalibrate the gut microbiome, promoting a healthier gut environment and supporting overall health. Four Nutritional Pillars: To support a healthy microbiome and reduce inflammation, focus on four key nutrients: fibre, polyphenols, healthy fats, and fermented foods Dietary Patterns: While various dietary patterns (like vegan, carnivore, or keto) are often debated, the focus should be on ensuring adequate intake of the four nutritional pillars rather than adhering strictly to a specific diet TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:02:21] Nighttime gut microbiome recovery. [00:04:36] Inflammation and health risks. [00:08:03] Mediterranean diet and health.

What if podcasting wasn't just content—but a bridge out of corporate?In this episode, Brett sits down with Mark Hayward, former PwC and KPMG consultant turned podcast host and podcast guesting entrepreneur, to break down his escape from corporate—and how podcasting quietly became one of his most powerful tools.Mark shares how he started a podcast while still in corporate, not to make money, but to build confidence, find his voice, and explore what life outside the corporate box could look like. That passion project eventually opened doors to consulting, coaching, real estate experimentation—and ultimately a business built around helping others grow through podcast guesting.This is a real, honest conversation about experimentation, false starts, energy, and why podcasting works differently than most people expect.What We Cover • Leaving PwC and KPMG after a 14-year corporate career • Why Mark started a podcast before leaving corporate • The role experimentation plays in finding your escape path • Why not every revenue stream is worth keeping • Coaching vs. consulting vs. creative work (and the energy test) • Podcast hosting vs. podcast guesting — and how each actually works • Why guests often get more business than hosts • How podcasting builds confidence, clarity, and opportunity • Practical advice for corporate professionals who know they want out—but don't know what's nextKey TakeawayYou don't need a perfect plan to escape corporate. You need momentum, experimentation, and a way to get into conversations that open doors. Podcasting can be one of those doors.Connect with Mark • Website: podcastintroduction.com • Podcast: Business Growth Talks • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayward-163721a0/ Listen, subscribe, and shareIf corporate feels off—but you can't see the exit yet—this episode will help you think differently about your options.

#EP327 What if we could remove a trillion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere for $2 billion a year?Peter Fiekowsky, author of "Climate Restoration" and founder of the Foundation for Climate Restoration, returns to The Clean Power Hour with a solution most people have never heard of: localized ocean iron fertilization. An astrophysicist and semiconductor entrepreneur by training, Peter has spent over a decade researching methods to restore atmospheric CO2 to pre-industrial levels of 300 ppm. His work has taken him from the Vatican to the White House, and he now leads a growing movement to fund and deploy this proven natural process.KEY DISCUSSION POINTS:Why the energy transition alone will not prevent 450 ppm by 2050Localized ocean iron fertilization targets only 1% of the ocean using downwelling eddiesThe Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption in 1991 caused global CO2 to flatline for two yearsTotal cost: $1-2 billion per year (one penny per American per day)This approach removes 1,000 to 10,000 times more carbon than traditional ocean fertilization methodsRobotic ships could distribute iron pellets without crew costsThe Foundation's "million sponsor" campaign aims to demonstrate public demand for climate restorationThe wind, solar, and battery industries are doing essential work to eliminate 50 gigatons of annual emissions. That fight must continue. But stopping the bleeding is not the same as healing the wound. Peter Fiekowsky's research shows that nature has already solved this problem dozens of times through the Ice Age cycle. The question is whether humanity will choose to replicate what works. For the cost of a penny a day per American, we have the option to return atmospheric CO2 to safe levels within 25 years. The technology exists. The funding is achievable. The only missing ingredient is the collective decision to do it.Join the Movement: Be one of the million sponsors helping to restore CO2 to safe levels by 2050. Donate now: https://foundationforclimaterestoration.org/donate/Connect with Peter Fiekowsky Website: www.peterfiekowsky.com/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/pfiekowsky/ Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Last year brought many challenges for Christian fantasy fans. From flops at the theaters now threatened by streaming slop, to creators making more events for Christian storytelling, to the continued growth of biblical fiction as the top genre of Christian-made entertainment—let's survey the top ten fantasy-related headlines from last year. Episode sponsors Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queen The Case of the Heart Stone by Tulli Cole Above the Circle of Earth by E. Stephen Burnett Mission update New at Lorehaven: many features over the holidays! We announced our new book quest in the Lorehaven Guild: Taliesin Onscreen: ‘Stranger Things' Season Five Gives Weight to Parents' Fears, A. D. Sheehan Onscreen: ‘David' Creators Answer all Your Questions About the Animated Hit Movie, Josh Shepherd Engage: Alleged ‘Rock and Roll' Soundtrack Incites Suspicion of Netflix's Narnia Movie, newcomer Sierra Simopoulos Sierra Simopoulos also reviewed Sons of Day and Night My own article: Why Christians Need Fantastical Stories Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Stop by the homepage for many upgrades, especially the Library. Soon: discover the Guild's new wing, the Lorehaven Authorship. 10. Superheroes failed to save ailing cinema Marvel movies, despite their strengths, all flopped at the box office. Personally I did like Fantastic Four: First Steps, but didn't love it. Lorehaven folks were generally positive about some hero movies. ‘Captain America: Brave New World' Labors to Save a Struggling MCU, Marian A. Jacobs The Antiheroes of Thunderbolts* Preach to Marvel Itself, Daniel Whyte IV ‘Superman' (2025) Will Make You Believe a Man Can Be Earnest, Josiah DeGraaf However, audiences were tepid; none of these films broke even. The greatest foe of superheroes? Flippancy. Next: lack of family. MCU reached its apex with creators who at least feigned sincerity. DC's nobledark tone was winning fans, until the studio freaked out. 9. Disney's ‘Snow White' remake bombed Sticking with cinemas, this one might be the year's greatest fail. ‘Snow White' (2025) Isn't the Fairest of Adaptations, Parker J. Cole I didn't see it. Few people did. More people saw YouTube roasts. This whole nonsense was an ugly reflection of three terrible trends ruining films: “woke” checkboxes, cynicism, and corporate gloss. 8. Fans abandoned legacy sci-fi franchises Once a Doctor Who hero, Russell T. Davies has ruined that series. Star Trek is adrift, desperately trying to hail imaginary “new fans.” Of course, Star Wars keeps failing to please its own alienated fans. The greatest culprit here: Godless, sex-obsessed progressivism. One can't correct from this without visibly rejecting “woke” politics. 7. K-Pop Demon Hunters owned the summer We haven't had a genuine pop-culture movie phenomenon in ages. Then along comes this little giant animated movie on Netflix. ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters' Pits Singing Heroines vs. Monster Idols, Marian A. Jacobs Kids sang catchy songs. Adults found deeper themes to explore. YouTube reactions and covers on Instagram/TikTok exploded. For the first time, Netflix had a true four-quadrant hit on its hands. And dear Lord, may they learn only the right lessons from this, and not turn this into another streaming slop like so much other stuff. 6. ‘Woke' stories stepped back, yet persisted 251. Could a Cultural ‘Vibe Shift' Advance Christian-Made Fiction? Due to political events we won't detail, that agenda is on the wane. At least the Sexualityism religion is seen as stale and unstable. Many are still trying to figure out what, if any, ideas will replace it. A. D. Sheehan had to critique Brandon Sanderson, a late arrival to the “woke” content scene: Brandon Sanderson's New Fantasy ‘Wind and Truth' Summons a Postmodern Cringestorm. Oddly enough, we keep seeing Christian parents posting about the random books they find, after which they ask “Is it woke?” Pro tip: yeah, it's probably woke, especially with a cover like that. By now we surely have enough Christian-made novels to help? 5. Corporate slop threatens human stories 274. Why Shouldn't AI-Generated Content Replace Human Stories? This is partly about AI-generated slop, but not always. Skeptical fans now refer to anything bad with “this looks AI.” Why? Because the problem goes deeper than technology amok. Long before AI, corporate studios began relying on algorithms. I believe that's when these stories began feeling less, well, human. 272. Can We Save Cinema from Sloppy Stories? Instead of human hunches, stories get greenlit by metallic minds. Reference: the short-lived run of Robert Zemekis mocap movies. At first people express curiosity, but eventually they get bored. Prediction: this too shall pass. We'll see a lot of forced “firsts,” like “the first fully AI-generated movie.” They may even succeed. But the novelty will quickly wear off as it did before Mars Needs Moms. Still, Christian creators must dig deeper to defend organic human stories with philosophies deeper than “AI destroys the Earth.” 4. Conservative TV is trying more fantasy We greatly anticipate the DailyWire+ show The Pendragon Cycle. Based on Stephen Lawhead's novels, seven episodes drop Jan. 22. Christian showrunner Jeremy Boreing actually stepped down from being Daily Wire co-CEO, it seems, to ensure finishing this series. Political hot takes scarcely outlast the day. Great stories last long. Alas, there's the constantly controversial Magician's Nephew movie Marketing for this is dreadful, with publicly floated nonsense about an actress playing Aslan or the movie featuring “rock and roll.” 257. By Aslan's Mane, is Netflix Really Casting a Lady as the Lion? Meanwhile, platforms like Angel (run by LDS members, yet with freedom for Christians) released The Wingfeather Saga season 2. We also saw a new angel-heroes show, Gabriel and the Guardians. ‘Gabriel and the Guardians' Echoes a Golden Era of Saturday Morning Cartoons, Jenneth Leed Alas, any sci-fi-ish efforts seem restricted to dystopian dramas. We need higher budgets and risks to widen those genre limits. 3. Realm Makers unites Christian creators 265. How Can We Shine the Gospel at the Realm Makers Expo? 266. How Do You Assemble a New Expo for Christian Fandoms? | with Scott Minor Last year's conference in Grand Rapids marked an experiment. Can this organization blend creator training with a public expo? Results were mixed-positive, mainly because of the venue choice. For me, a debut sci-fi novelist, results may have skewed better. Yet our primary audience must be Christian fans and families. A semi-major downtown is difficult for these folks to access. Next year's new venue in St. Louis looks much more promising! And it sounds like the public Expo will be easier for fans to access. For Christian fantasy to grow, we must unite over common interest. Yet this unity must be based on love for the true Jesus, our Author. 2. Biblical fiction is the top Christian genre There's no contest. Amish and historical fiction is dethroned. Christian fantasy (mostly romantasy) remains confined to books. Amazon's ‘House of David' Anoints an Intriguing Biblical Epic, Michael Allen ‘House of David' Is Crowned King of Amazon Prime, Jenneth Leed 1. Fantasy for teen/YA women continues to rule the Christian-made fantastical worlds This might well be the repeat headline from previous years. Facts are facts. Teen girls and women outread everyone else. When they like fantasy, they prefer female heroes/relationships. Romantasy is the queen. And her handmaiden is royal drama. 249. What is ‘Romantasy'? | with Parker J. Cole And the new princess on the block? Time-travel romance, for sure. 263. What is Time-Travel Romance? | Every Hour Until Then with Gabrielle Meyer These books get the most attention on Instagram and elsewhere. Is it true that “men don't read”? Not necessarily. Men do read. But they tend to read nonfiction about culture, theology, history. And for fantastical fiction, these readers have unique expectations. Christians here favor proven legacies, especially Lewis/Tolkien. One can't complain about the reality. Instead, meet the standard. Frankly, that's my hope for Above the Circle of Earth and beyond. Of course I support teen/YA female-focused fantasy stories! Yet that's not my genre; it doesn't help me, personally, grow in joy. Surely there are more readers who favor other kinds of stories, maybe deeper, maybe in underdog genres like sci-fi and horror. Christians must expect a true joyous sci-fi future under King Jesus. And we uniquely understand supernatural realities/horror today. But making new stories isn't enough. We must cultivate readers. That's our mission at Lorehaven with our new mission statement: Escape bad books. Find the best Christian fantasy and sci-fi! Watch this space for more about bad books, reader cultivation, and new resolutions to avoid scroll traps and level up your imagination. Com station Top question for listeners What was your top fantasy story or least-liked story in 2025? Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we overviewed the series. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.

Il y a des mots en marketing qui reviennent régulièrement, on les entends, on les utilise même parfois, sans vraiment toujours savoir ce qui se cache derrière. Le mot du jour, c'est omnicanalité. Si vous avez déjà travaillé de près ou de loin avec un service marketing, je mets ma main à couper que vous avez été confronté à ce terme. Omnicanilité. Et vous avez peut être même croisé le chemin de ses cousins, crosscanal, multicanal et pluricanal. A force on s'y perd, et surtout au-delà d'une simple définition, j'avais envie de creuser le sujet pour comprendre vraiment comment cette stratégie impacte nos marques, pour quel type d'entreprise elle est faite, quelle est la place de nos clients dans tout ça et comment allouer nos budgets. Pour discuter de ce sujet, j'ai demandé à Thibault de Morel de me rejoindre au micro du Podcast du Marketing. Thibault est le CMO du Permis Libre, l'école de conduite en ligne fraîchement introduite en bourse. Thibault est un véritable passionné de marketing, et vous allez voir que notre discussion va bien plus loin qu'une simple définition de l'omnicanal, on est allés jusqu'à prononcer les mots de philosophie marketing. Pour en savoir plus sur Thibault de Morel, vous pouvez le suivre sur LinkedIn ou découvrir Le Permis Libre.---------------

CORPORATE GROUPTHINK AND THE SEC'S PROGRESSIVE SHIFT Colleague Charles Gasparino. Gasparino argues that corporate adoption of progressive policies was a defensive reaction to populism like Occupy Wall Street and fostered by "groupthink" at elite summits like Davos. He further contends that the SEC has shifted from investor protection to enforcing "woke" environmental and social agendas under the Biden administration. NUMBER 2

Gasparino discusses his book Go Woke, Go Broke, tracing the origins of corporate radicalization to the 2008 financial crisis and the rise of ESG and DEIinitiatives.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Natalee Leach, founder of The Payroll Collective, shares her journey from a corporate payroll career to building a fast-growing consultancy on track for $3M in revenue. She breaks down how values-driven leadership, people-first culture, and client retention fueled rapid growth. Natalee also opens up about managing fast scaling, hiring at the right time, and the mental strain of entrepreneurship. She explains why foundations, systems, and the right team matter more than aggressive sales. A candid conversation on sustainable growth, leadership, and building a business with purpose. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Natalee Leach, the hardest thing in growing a small business is the speed of growth. Growing too fast can feel scary and overwhelming, especially with the fear that "what goes up must come down." Managing rapid scaling while keeping the business stable, sustainable, and healthy is the real challenge. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Natalee Leach's favorite business book is The Diary of a CEO, which has helped her the most by offering honest, relatable insights into leadership, mindset, and personal growth, while also providing validation and practical ideas that she can apply to building and leading a successful business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Natalee Leach recommends a few great podcasts and online resources to help grow a small business, including The Diary of a CEO for mindset and leadership insights, How I Built This for real founder stories, and Smart Passive Income for practical business strategy. She also points to MasterClass, Coursera, and LinkedIn Learning as solid hubs to level up skills in marketing, leadership, and scaling operations — all great for small business growth. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Natalee Leach often points to Notion as one of her go-to tools for growing a small business — it's great for organizing workflows, project plans, SOPs, content calendars, client onboarding, and team collaboration all in one place. She also recommends Slack for team communication, Asana or Trello for task management, and Stripe/QuickBooks for streamlined billing and finances. These tools help keep operations smooth, teams aligned, and growth intentional. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Natalee Leach, one advice she would give herself is to book a Pilates session or schedule time for yourself in your diary from day one because the business will run over you if you do not. She emphasizes that setting these boundaries immediately is crucial for maintaining a lifestyle that offers longevity rather than constant exhaustion. This self-care allows for quality time with family and friends, ensuring you are not too tired to actually enjoy life outside of work. By prioritizing your own physical and mental strength early on, you can better power through the different phases of business growth. Ultimately, she views scheduling this personal time as a paramount habit that business owners must develop to prevent being derailed by the mental strain of leadership.

In our first segment, we speak with socialist assembly member Emily Gallagher about fighting white collar crime, along with her input on the SOLAR UP NOW NEW YORK ACT to give New Yorkers access to renewable power and thereby, lower utility costs. In our second segment we reflect on Rob Rheiner's death, the legacy of the radical television show, It's All in The Family and the importance of independent media as we continue to raise funds for WBAI. In our third segment we speak to political writer and activist Cole Sandick about why he believes a growing number of Social Media policies, seem to positively protect the youth on the surface, lead to more surveillance in practice.

Emily Gallaghar, Assembly member representative for Greenpoint was elected in 2020.

Week 1 – When Heaven RespondsSpeaker: Pastor Antonio ThomasMain Idea: When God's people pray together in worship, God responds with His presence. Corporate prayer is not something we watch—it's something we actively join.Join us live as we begin our new series, "And All God's People Said", exploring moments in Scripture when unified prayer moved the heart of God. This week, we look at Solomon's prayer of dedication and discover how God responds when His people come together with expectation, humility, and worship.Text: 2 Chronicles 6–7Service Time: 10:30 AMLocation: 1965 Evergreen Blvd, #200, Duluth, GA 30096Give Online: https://thebridgechurch.org/give#AndAllGodsPeopleSaid #WhenHeavenResponds #CorporatePrayer #WorshipTogether #TheBridgeChurch #SundayLivestream #PrayerChangesThings

Opening prayer and transition Prayer for healing of minds, emotions, and bodies in Jesus' name. Blessing over the people and light-hearted comment about “sinners/singers” saved by grace. Transition to the morning teaching and reference to the notes on fasting and prayer. Purpose of the teaching Many new people in the church do not fully understand prayer and fasting. Long-time members also need renewed direction, inspiration, and encouragement from Scripture for an effective and profitable fast. Pastor's personal struggle with coughing and mic; testimony of praying over the upcoming fast and the church. Realization: the Lord, as the Good Shepherd, cares more about the people and their fasting than the pastor does. Emphasis that believers must hear the Shepherd's voice; call to open hearts and spirits to the Word and notes. What fasting is (definition and biblical basis) Fasting described as a spiritual discipline taught in the Bible, not an afterthought or optional for Christians. Reference to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) and the three practices: praying, giving, fasting (“when you pray… when you give… when you fast,” not “if”). Reading/summary of Matthew 6:16–18: Do not fast to impress others; keep normal appearance; the Father sees in secret and rewards openly. Clarification: corporate fast cannot be fully secret, but the heart motive still must be God-centered, not people-centered. Cultural critique: problem of overeating and food addictions; fasting is needed, not optional. Why fast? Main reasons 1. Health and personal reset Fasting brings health benefits; warning about “digging graves with forks and spoons.” Pastor's personal testimony: fasting at the beginning of the year as a “reset” that affects months afterward and increases awareness of what is eaten. 2. Fasting gives more time for prayer Time normally used for preparing, eating, and cleaning up can be redirected to prayer. Acknowledgment of family responsibilities; encouragement to use available time for prayer. Biblical link between fasting and prayer: example from Acts 13 (worshiping, fasting, Holy Spirit speaks, Paul/Barnabas set apart). Explanation of the church's prayer schedule for the fasting week (Monday–Friday, 6:30–8:30 with personal prayer, worship, exhortation, and corporate prayer each night, plus guest ministers and special focuses). 3. Fasting shows the depth of desire in prayer Fasting demonstrates how serious and desperate a person is about a prayer need. Challenge to those struggling with addictions, family issues, or sin to get desperate enough to say no to food. Story of a former pastor who listed God's blessings and then asked, “What are you willing to do?” Scriptural support from Joel: Call a holy fast, sacred assembly; return to God with all the heart, with fasting and weeping. Teaching that fasting “turbocharges” prayer and reaches the core of one's being. 4. Fasting releases God's supernatural power Observation of revival signs: increased Bible sales, campus awakenings, baptisms, and renewed spirituality. Note that whenever God moves, the devil attacks (division, discouragement, defeat, depression, doubt). Emphasis that united prayer and fasting delivers decisive blows to the enemy. Scriptural examples: Ezra 8:23 (“we fasted and prayed… and he answered”). Isaiah 58:6 (fasting that loosens chains of injustice, breaks yokes, sets oppressed free). Testimony of church growth attributed to prayer and fasting (services, groups, leaders, missions). Warning: forward movement invites spiritual resistance, requiring vigilance and continued fasting. Importance of fasting in Scripture (examples) Often precedes major victories, miracles, and answered prayers. Examples listed: Moses fasting before receiving the Ten Commandments. Israelites fasting before miraculous victory. Daniel fasting for guidance and understanding God's plan (reading Jeremiah, receiving revelation). Personal example: pastor fasting over whom to marry and other major decisions (work, place to live, business partnerships, missions trips). Nehemiah fasting and praying before rebuilding Jerusalem's walls, completing a century-old problem in 52 days. Jesus fasting 40 days before public ministry and during temptation in the wilderness. First Christians fasting during key decision-making (Acts 13, etc.). Application: fast over important life decisions; don't rely on human wisdom alone. Precautions and heart posture in fasting Fasting is not: Earning answers or manipulating God. A hunger strike against God. Fasting is: Aligning with God's will and opening space for what God already desires to do. Health cautions: Fast only as health allows; consider partial fasts if on medication, etc. Warning against “sneaky” or superficial consecrations (e.g., trivial fasting windows that cost nothing). Encouragement to make fasting truly sacrificial and appropriate to one's work and physical capacity. Practical guidance: types and structure of fasting Types of fasts mentioned: Water fast (all food and juices abstained from; not recommended for everyone for five days). Partial fast (eliminating certain foods or meals). Juice fast (fruit or vegetable juices only). Counsel on nutrition and physical activity: Ensure nutrients; limit strenuous exercise; do not let exercise become an excuse to skip prayer/fasting. Guidance on breaking the fast: Avoid heavy foods immediately (e.g., burritos, large meals); ease back into eating with lighter foods like fruit. Corporate fasting and commitment Corporate fast provides structure, accountability, and mutual encouragement. Testimony of previous years: New believers and first-time fasters completing five days. Past 21-day fast (juice/soup only) and challenges met by the congregation. Value of structure: same as work or school schedules; helps people follow through. Mention of attendance statistics from previous years and desire to see increased participation (with the reminder that numbers represent people, not pride). Fasting as assumed biblical practice Jesus says “when you fast,” implying fasting is assumed for Christians. Note of a resurgence of fasting teaching in recent decades, including influence from African and global churches. Observation: when God prepares to move, he stirs people to prayer and fasting. Biblical reasons people fasted (summary list) Facing a crisis. Seeking God's protection and deliverance. Called to repentance and renewal. Asking God for guidance. Humbling themselves in worship. Dangers in the discipline Risk of empty ritual or fasting without meaning. Encouragement to start fasting and seek right motives as you go. Repeated call to hear the Good Shepherd's voice and recognize that God wants to speak, guide, and bless more than people often realize. Fasting as feasting on Jesus John Wesley quote: fasting must be done unto the Lord, with the eye singly fixed on Him, to glorify the Father.​ Story of an Indian orphanage that fasts every Friday and calls it “feasting on Jesus,” praying specifically for the American church. Call to fast and leadership responsibility Fasting starts with spiritual leaders and elders; leaders must model what they preach. Fasting often arises from spiritual desperation and urgency: “turn to me now while there is time.” Warning about increasing end-time deception; need for discernment and closeness to God. Fasting and inner focus Fasting is more about focus than food; more about saying yes to the Spirit than no to the body. It is an outward response to an inward cry, an expression of brokenness and need. Calls to return to God with the heart, not just external religious acts (rending hearts, not garments). Fasting as response of a broken heart; God is drawn to the weak, broken, needy. Immense responsibility and mission Believers carry the immense responsibility to be salt and light, preaching the gospel to a lost world. Fasting is a humble response to this responsibility, seeking God's help and power to fulfill the mission. Closing exhortation and prayer Pastor expresses desire to communicate God's heart and encourage participation in the fast. Emphasis that God wants to speak and move, and fasting clears space in the heart. Call to fresh consecration and commitment for individuals and families. Prayer that God will bless and strengthen everyone who takes part, and closing invitation to join nightly prayer during the fasting week.

Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of The Institutional Risk Analyst blog, joins The Julia La Roche Show for "The Wrap with Chris Whalen" for his 2026 outlook.In this episode, Whalen warns of a market correction comparable to 2008, driven by carnage in private equity where hundreds of companies cannot be sold and sponsors are selling companies to themselves. After a decade-and-a-half Fed liquidity party, he predicts corporate credit will worsen in 2026, setting the stage for a housing market decline in 2027-28. Whalen reveals fraud has become epidemic in housing thanks to AI-altered bank statements, discusses the global power shift as Shanghai now sets gold prices (not Chicago or London), and explains why Powell will likely stay on the Fed board through 2028 to protect the institution - betraying Trump just like every Fed chair before him.Links:    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/  https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/post/theira794Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/   Timestamps:0:00 Intro and welcome back to The Wrap with Chris Whalen01:25 2025 retrospective3:35 Big stories of 2026 05:30 Midterms 08:21 Maxi market correction coming alongside 2008 in textbooks15:09 Will Powell retire or remain on the board?16:45 Will we see a more hawkish Fed in 2026?17:50 Default rates21:25 What happens with housing in 202622:42 Drawing parallels to the Gilded Age26:29 Gold and silver - another good year ahead32:41 Viewer question: Annaly mortgage REIT common vs preferred36:48 What's on the radar next week: Big investment banks piece38:18 Wrap up and where to find Chris Whalen

Thank you to everyone who tuned in for the latest edition of Corporate Knowledge: After Dark, this time after a relatively smooth 123-113 Spurs win over the Pacers in Indy despite the absences of Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell. The three-headed guard attack once again took center stage, as it has all season whenever Wemby has been forced out due to injury. De'Aaron Fox went for 24 points, Stephon Castle pitched in 19, and Dylan Harper dropped 22 off the bench to provide a full 48 minutes of ball-handling stability, which is invaluable against the pesky perimeter defenders employed in Indiana. Remember when San Antonio's point guard rotation was Tre Jones, Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley? Remember the ‘Point Sochan' experiment? What a difference a year and some change can make.

Step into a piece of corporate horror where the office isn't just soul-crushing—it might be haunted.In this episode, Jim reviews The Indigo Room by Stephen Graham Jones, a short, unsettling work that blurs the line between reality, perception, and the quiet dread of modern work life.As part of a collaborative collection of short horror reads—each written by a different author—The Indigo Room shows Jones working within constraints, delivering a tight, atmospheric story that keeps readers guessing. Is something supernatural happening… or is the horror rooted in burnout, isolation, and the pressures of corporate existence?Jim breaks down:• Why Stephen Graham Jones remains one of the most interesting voices in horror• How this story plays with ambiguity and perception• What works, what doesn't, and who this short read is best suited for• Why this isn't Jim's favorite Jones story—but still very much worth your timeIf you're new to Stephen Graham Jones, this is a fascinating sampler.

Angela is joined by Sarah Rusbatch, to discuss the hidden health risks of alcohol, particularly for women in midlife. Sarah reveals the physiological reasons why women metabolise alcohol differently than men, leading to increased health risks, and shares the alarming statistic that four out of five women are unaware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer.  Together they focus on the three core pillars for successful behaviour change: focusing on what you gain, replacing the habit with a positive alternative, and embracing the power of small experiments KEY TAKEAWAYS: The Hidden Risks for Women: Women metabolise alcohol less efficiently than men due to lower levels of the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme, making them more susceptible to alcohol's negative effects Alcohol's Link to Cancer: One in five breast cancer deaths are linked to alcohol, and the risk increases dose-dependently. Four out of five women are unaware of this direct connection. The Power of Positive Substitution: Successful behaviour change requires moving the focus from the deprivation (loss aversion) to the gains (e.g., better sleep, more energy, better skin) and replacing the drinking habit with an effective, positive alternative. Addressing the Root Cause: For many, alcohol is a "solution to the problem" of boredom, stress, or escape. Lasting change requires looking at what alcohol is masking and making fundamental changes to your life TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:01:25: One glass of alcohol can be too much for those with genetic predispositions 0:03:08: Why women metabolise alcohol differently 0:04:45: Four in five women are unaware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer. 0:06:50: The alcohol industry's successful marketing strategy that led to the rise of female-targeted pink drinks 0:11:35: The three core pillars for behaviour change VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Get weekly science tips to optimise your health and longevity to your inbox with Angela's free newsletter.

Does getting promoted literally rewire your brain to lose empathy? The science says YES.

Corporate success is often measured by growth and diversification, but for many conglomerates, being too big leads to a "conglomerate discount." This is the moment when the boardroom turns to corporate separation—the strategic process of intentionally breaking a business apart to create massive new shareholder wealth.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we break down why companies spin off divisions, how finance teams manage the disentanglement, and the real-world consequences of these billion-dollar maneuvers.What is a Corporate Spinoff?A spinoff occurs when a parent company takes a business unit or division and separates it into a brand-new, independent, publicly traded company.The Mechanism: Existing shareholders of the parent company automatically receive shares in the new entity.The Tax Benefit: These deals are typically structured to be tax-free for both the corporation and the investor, making it a premier tool for reorganization.The 5 Strategic Drivers: Why Break Up?Eliminating the "Conglomerate Discount": The market often penalizes highly diversified firms because analysts struggle to value a mix of slow-growth and high-growth assets. A spinoff creates a "Pure Play" company that the market can value more accurately.Strategic Focus: Different businesses have conflicting needs. Separation allows a management team to focus purely on their unique product cycles and R&D requirements (e.g., J&J spinning off Kenvue to separate stable consumer goods from high-risk pharma).Capital Structure Optimization: A spinoff allows for a customized balance sheet. A high-growth unit can start with a clean, debt-free slate to fund expansion, while the mature "cash cow" parent can take on more leverage.Regulatory & Activist Pressure: Antitrust concerns or pressure from activist investors often force management to divest units that are perceived as dragging down the total valuation.Preparation for Sale: It is significantly easier to sell a clean, standalone company than a messy division tangled in a larger corporate structure.The Operational Challenge: Assessing the "Carve-Out"Executing a spinoff is an incredibly complex process that often takes years of financial engineering:Carve-Out Financials: Finance teams must reconstruct what the business would have looked like if it had always been independent, projecting standalone revenue, margins, and cash flow.Stranded Costs: These are expenses the parent company is stuck with after the spinoff departs (e.g., half-empty headquarters or oversized software licenses). If not managed, these can destroy the expected value unlock.Transition Service Agreements (TSAs): Temporary lifelines where the parent provides HR or IT support to the new company for a fee until the spinoff can build its own infrastructure.Tax Risks (The Morris Trust): Strict IRS rules dictate that the spinoff must remain independent for a specific period. If the new company is acquired too quickly, it can trigger a catastrophic tax bill for the parent company.Case Studies: Billions UnlockedeBay and PayPal: PayPal was a high-growth fintech innovator being valued like a slow online marketplace. Once spun off, its market cap skyrocketed as it gained the freedom to partner with eBay's competitors like Amazon. IBM and Kyndryl: By spinning off its slow-growing legacy infrastructure business, IBM transformed into a "cleaner" tech growth play focused on Cloud and AI. DowDuPont: A massive "merger to split" strategy where the giants merged with the explicit goal of then breaking into three focused companies: Agriculture (Corteva), Materials (Dow), and Specialty Products (DuPont).

On January 1, 1994, Indigenous peoples from Chiapas, Mexico, rose up. They took control of city halls in towns across the state. They took the state capital San Cristobal de las Casas. And they held them for days, despite a violent response from Mexico's military.This was not just any movement confined to the mountainous jungles of Mexico. It was an Indigenous uprising against injustice. An uprising against neoliberalism. An uprising against globalization and free trade agreements, and it would have deep reverberations. Inspiring people, not just in Mexico, but around the world.***BIG NEWS! This podcast has won Gold in this year's Signal Awards for best history podcast! It's a huge honor.

Massive Fraud Allegations (WATCH NICK's VIDEO HERE!) Minnesota has spent $18 billion on Medicaid over several years, with up to $9 billion allegedly lost to fraud. Fraud reportedly involves fake daycare centers and autism centers receiving millions in state funds without providing services or having children present. Example: Facilities licensed for dozens of children but found empty, with windows blacked out and doors locked. Political Corruption Democratic politicians, including Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, ignored or enabled the fraud. Stolen funds were used to influence elections and fund campaigns. We bring up Ilhan Omar and have questions about her financial gains. Investigative Work by Nick Shirley A 23-year-old YouTuber, Nick Shirley, conducted undercover investigations, visiting daycare and autism centers, documenting the absence of children, and exposing suspicious operations. His video reportedly went viral, reaching over 90 million views. Media Criticism Strong criticism of mainstream (called “Corporate”) media for allegedly ignoring the story. Praise for independent investigative journalism. Security and Confrontations Confrontations with individuals at the centers, some becoming hostile. Police involvement when Shirley attempted to gather information at healthcare offices. Financial Scale Examples of payments: individual centers receiving $1–$3 million annually. Autism-related Medicaid payments allegedly skyrocketed from $1.3 million in 2017 to $228 million in 2024. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Now on Spotify Video! After decades leading AI research at NASA, Google, and Stanford, Peter Norvig has watched artificial intelligence advance at an incredible pace, often without enough consideration for the people it's meant to serve. While the systems grew better at optimizing algorithms, far less focus was placed on fairness, human agency, and real-world impact. That realization led Peter to champion a more human-centered approach to AI. In this final episode of the AI Vault series, Peter breaks down how to design and use AI in ways that elevate human abilities, support better decision-making, and promote fairness across business, education, and leadership. In this episode, Hala and Peter will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:28) His Transition From Academia to Corporate (06:05) The Evolution of Google Search Technology (12:59) How Artificial Intelligence Has Changed Over Time (17:53) Human Intelligence vs. AI Capabilities (23:38) What Is Human-Centered AI? (29:42) AI-Powered Learning and Workplace Training (35:47) AI for Entrepreneurs: The New Advantage (39:10) Artificial Intelligence and Income Inequality (41:19) The Risks and Rewards of Artificial Intelligence Peter Norvig is a computer scientist, AI pioneer, and former Director of Research at Google, where he led significant advancements in search and machine learning. He is the co-author of Artificial Intelligence, the leading AI textbook used in more than 1,500 universities worldwide. Today, as a Fellow at Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute, Peter focuses on building AI systems that are fair, inclusive, and aligned with human values.
