Most entrepreneurs think growth is about adding people. Add a partner. Add an employee. Add a tool. But if 1+1 equals 2, you did not create leverage. You created maintenance. In this episode, Michael explains why real growth requires multiplication, not addition. He breaks down how to evaluate business partners, employees, and romantic partners through the lens of exponential return. Then he introduces the MULTIPLY framework, a practical filter for identifying who truly accelerates your momentum and who simply occupies space. If you feel like you are working harder but not moving faster, this episode will challenge how you choose the people around you. Exponential growth is intentional. Multipliers are selected. ----- Frustrated with your government contracting journey?

Sluggish. Frumpy. Frustrated with yourself. Sometimes that feeling comes after we've been consuming more than we're creating — scrolling, snacking, watching, thinking about what we should do but not actually moving forward. In this episode of the Christian Weight Loss Podcast, we talk about a simple shift that can help you get out of a funk and regain momentum in your life and your health. You'll learn the difference between consuming and creating, how God designed us for both rhythms, and why small acts of creation can help you return to the habits you want to live. We also connect this concept to overeating and weight loss, showing how you can return to your plan without punishment, shame, or starting over. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why feeling stuck often comes from too much consuming and too little creating • The difference between consuming and creating in everyday life • How small acts of creation help you regain momentum • Why punishment is not the answer after overeating • A simple question to ask when you feel stuck or in a funk Scripture Mentioned Genesis 2:15“The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Numbers 28God establishes daily offerings in the morning and evening, creating rhythms that bring His people back to Him.

Officials responsible for an obstacle course of road cones throughout Hutt City say they know residents are frustrated but they'll have to hang in there. Krystal Gibbens reports.

This week Carole sits down with Sandrine Zhang Ferron, the founder and CEO of Vinterior, as the online marketplace celebrates 10 years of selling beautiful pre-loved furniture.‘I think that it's important that things are beautiful and to be in beautiful places,' says Sandrine. Sandrine values beauty so dearly, in fact, that she was inspired to quit her successful finance career when she found herself struggling to source the perfect Poul Volther chair to match the yellow of her cat's eyes. Frustrated with the inefficiency of the vintage furniture market, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Motivated by her desire for a better pre-loved shopping experience, she taught herself to code – and so Vinterior was born. Tune in for more.

A few years ago, John Lamerton was caught up in the relentless pursuit of new customers, constantly refilling a leaky bucket - promising the world but losing clients just as quickly as he gained them. Frustrated by the constant chase, he had a lightbulb moment: focusing on retention and obsessing over existing customers was the real key to unlocking sustainable growth - and profits. He shifted his mindset from acquisition to lifelong value, investing in his current clients and rethinking what business success really means. This intense focus transformed his business, boosting profits by turning a 5% increase in retention into up to 95% growth in profits. Read how you can do the same in John's new book Retention First, which is OUT NOW: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0G7JNQ85H In this episode, John explains why retention is highly leveraged, and that genuine obsession over your customers can revolutionise your business's future (and therefore, your lifestyle). If you're fed up of always refilling a bucket full of holes in your business, this episode is for YOU. The Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast is available wherever you get your podcasts...

If your leaders don't know how they're measured, you can't expect consistent performance or real ownership. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/598-do-your-leaders-know-the-score/  Frustrated with inconsistent performance from your managers or senior team members? The issue may not be motivation, it may be measurement. In this episode, Henry Lopez breaks down why leadership performance problems often stem from a lack of role clarity, measurable outcomes, and transparent KPIs. Without clearly defined metrics, even highly motivated leaders drift. Expectations become subjective. Feedback becomes emotional. And performance becomes inconsistent. Henry explains the difference between expectations and KPIs and why outcomes, not activity, must be measured. He walks through: How to define company-level KPIs first How employee KPIs must roll up to business goals Why 2 to 5 KPIs per leader is the right number The importance of transparency in formulas and data sources Why ownership requires control How KPIs improve engagement, fairness, and accountability As Henry says, "If employees don't know how you measure their performance, you can't expect them to win." If you want stronger leadership, clearer accountability, and more consistent results in your small business, this episode provides a practical framework you can implement immediately.. This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez. The How of Business podcast focuses on helping you start, run, grow and exit your small business.

Most businesses don't have a marketing problem. They have a clarity problem. In this episode, I sit down with Tori Humphreys of Cumberland Marketing to talk about why so many companies struggle to explain what makes them different. We dive into why logos aren't brands, why “on time and under budget” isn't differentiation, and why it feels illegal to pause long enough to get clear. If you've ever thrown money at a new website, business card, or ad campaign hoping it would fix your growth… this conversation will hit home. Clarity drives confidence. Confidence drives messaging. Messaging drives revenue. Let's talk about how to slow down long enough to get it right. ----- Frustrated with your government contracting journey?

Frustrated that your parish is strong in one area but weak where it matters most? Listen to this podcast. Take the free Parish Missional Health Assessment: https://dpc4olay0gt.typeform.com/MissionalHealth In this episode, Ron Huntley explains the problem of lopsided parishes—churches that are strong in certain areas (like discipleship or ministry) but weak in others (like evangelization, fellowship, administration, or support). The result is predictable: burnout, stagnation, low invitation, and fewer stories of transformation. Ron walks through the framework behind the Parish Missional Health Assessment (PMHA) so you can identify what's missing and why your parish may feel stuck. In this episode, you'll learn: - The 5 systems of parish life: worship, ministry, fellowship, evangelization, discipleship - The 2 foundations that sustain mission: administration and supporting key people - The 4 missional skills that accelerate growth: invitation, quality, leadership culture, vision - Why “more teaching” doesn't automatically produce evangelization - Why weak support systems create burnout and constant volunteer turnover - How poor administration quietly blocks engagement and leadership development - Why quality matters if you want people to invite their friends - How vision unifies a parish and turns activity into stories ___ Links & resources: Parish Missional Health Assessment (PMHA): https://dpc4olay0gt.typeform.com/MissionalHealth Road to Renewal: https://glnk.app/go/NVe_rIO7sLzF Contact Ron: ron@huntleyleadership.com

Robert Townsend is a filmmaker, actor, and independent architect of late-20th-century Black cinema who proved you didn't have to wait for permission from Hollywood to tell your own story. Frustrated by typecasting, he financed and co-wrote Hollywood Shuffle (1987) on credit cards, building a sketch-structured satire that exposed casting as economic coercion. Featuring early appearances from comedians like Keenen Ivory Wayans, it became a blueprint for media self-critique. With The Five Heartbeats (1991), Townsend shifted to music melodrama, chronicling the rise and exploitation of an R&B group; though modest at the box office, it became a generational cult classic about contracts, ego, and ownership. Then came The Meteor Man (1993), one of the first Black-directed superhero films, centering community empowerment over lone-wolf dominance. Across genres, Townsend's legacy is infrastructural: independence, authorship, and the fight to control the image.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

The bad news? The 0-0 draw at home was convincing at best and downright difficult watch at worst. So what can the Galaxy do? Hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicholaou discuss the Galaxy's woes in their first 270 minutes of soccer in 2026 and why the midfield still feels disconnected. But maybe the defense is stepping it up while the midfield and offense figure it out? No shots allowed on goal for San Miguelito, and the Galaxy have only given up one goal in the first three games (minus the PK against NYCFC). But can the Galaxy's defense do it all? And what happens if the Galaxy get scored on first? Can the offense figure it out before the pressure really ramps up on this team and the coaching staff? Let's talk! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 18, just a few shows past number 1,270! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2026!

Before you jump into another fat loss phase… I want us to pause for a second. Because if dieting has "almost worked" for you the last five years… why do you feel like you need to start over again? In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm calling out one of the biggest midlife mistakes I see on repeat: Most women don't have a fat loss problem. They have a readiness problem. You might be sitting there thinking — WTF does that even mean? Stick with me. Because it's not about how bad you "want" fat loss. Let's be honest, who doesn't? But here's what nobody's talking about: forcing a perma-diet when your body is already tapped out isn't discipline. It's just making things worse. Your body might just need a breather before it can actually do the thing you're asking it to do. If you've been running on fumes by mid-afternoon, white-knuckling your hunger, mentally negotiating every bite, or doing all the "right" things and somehow still feeling like garbage… this episode is your permission slip to stop pushing and start getting strategic. I'm talking about how to actually tell where your body is at and whether it's time to push, pull back, or just hold the line. Because fat loss in the wrong season doesn't just not work. It keeps you stuck in the same loop year after year. You are not broken. Your timing might just be off. In This Episode We Get Into: Why wanting it badly isn't your problem, the sneaky signs your body is running on empty, my 5-question gut check so you can stop guessing, why maintenance is actually a skill (and why it matters more than you think), and the 3-gear strategy that changes everything: Push, Pull Back, or Hold the Line. Sometimes the most strategic move isn't doing more. It's doing less, on purpose. Ready to Figure Out Where You're At? I made a quiz for exactly this moment:

James Nord is the Founder & CEO of Fohr (fohr.co), the first influencer/ambassador marketing agency and platform in the U.S., launched in 2012 in New York City. A true pioneer in the creator economy, he transitioned from Wall Street finance to fashion photography (shooting behind-the-scenes for Oscar de la Renta and Thom Browne, Inc.) after gaining massive fame as one of Tumblr's most-followed creators. Frustrated by the lack of structured ways for creators to connect with brands, he built Fohr to bridge that gap—focusing on authentic partnerships, genuine passion over vanity metrics, and programs like SEPHORA Squad (with the motto: “don't spend good money on fake love”). He's paid out over $150 million to influencers, created category-defining tech, and grown Fohr into a full-service agency emphasizing people-first culture.

There are moments in Scripture that seem small… yet they change everything. In Gospel of Luke 5:1–11, what looks like an ordinary workday along the shore of the Sea of Galilee becomes a life-altering encounter. Fishermen are cleaning empty nets. Crowds are pressing in. And Jesus steps into a boat.This message explores how Jesus calls ordinary people into extraordinary purpose—and how the way He called His first disciples is the same way He calls us today.From Boats to the World, we see four powerful truths:Jesus calls us in our ordinary day-to-day.Peter wasn't at church or on retreat—he was working. Before Jesus said, “Follow Me,” He built relationship. Calling begins with closeness. Before He gives us something to do, He calls us to know Him.Jesus calls us even in disappointment.After a long, fruitless night of fishing, Jesus tells Peter to try again. Tired. Frustrated. Empty nets. And yet Peter responds, “At Your word, I will.” Obedience precedes understanding. The breakthrough wasn't blocked by a lack of blessing—it was waiting on a “yes.”Jesus calls us out in transformational moments.When the nets overflow, Peter falls to his knees: “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man.” In the presence of holiness, he recognizes his unworthiness. But Jesus responds with grace: “Do not be afraid.” Awareness of our weakness doesn't disqualify us—it prepares us. Jesus doesn't call the perfect; He calls the surrendered.Jesus calls us to total commitment.“From now on you will catch men.” Identity is reframed. Purpose is redefined. They left everything—boats, nets, security—to follow Him. Because the same Jesus who filled their nets would sustain their future.As we approach Easter, this passage reminds us: this isn't just about Peter—it's about us. Jesus didn't call His disciples to admire fish. He called them to catch people. Somewhere in your world—a coworker, neighbor, friend, or family member—is someone far from God, swimming in the waters of your everyday life.Jesus is still walking along the shorelines of our lives. Still stepping into boats. Still saying, “Follow Me.”The question is: Who are you fishing for?Support the show

We've been sold a cartoon version of the Middle East and this episode blows it up with five explosive threads most people still aren't connecting. From President Trump's Iran endgame and why Israel may be pushed to strike first, to jaw-dropping scenes from a massive Munich rally where Iranians openly embraced Israelis, the hosts lay out what's really shifting beneath the headlines and what it could mean for regime change, regional alliances and the propaganda narratives finally starting to crack. You'll also learn why major NGOs and media talking points are suddenly wobbling, how power and perception shape “humanitarian” stories and why the panel argues the biggest battles right now are truth, legitimacy and moral clarity.

On the morning May 3rd, 2002, 7-year-old Alexis Patterson was very excited about going to school. Alexis was already a good student, she got straight A's and prided herself on her perfect attendance record. But this day was going to be very special. The night before, she and her mother Ayanna Patterson, purchased cupcakes for her to bring to her first-grade class. But when her mother realized Alexis had not finished her homework, she told her she was no longer allowed to bring the treats to her class. Frustrated, Alexis packed up and got ready to make the short walk to Hi-Mount Community School. The school was just 242 steps from her front door, but her mother or stepfather usually walked with her anyway. That morning, her stepfather LaRon Bourgeois walked with her. When they got to the end of their street, they met a crossing guard who walked Alexis to the other side of the street to the school.   What happened next and even parts of what I've already told you is highly debated among LaRon Bourgeois, witnesses at the school and law enforcement. What we know for sure is that Alexis went missing that day.   To complicate matters further in 2016, 14 years after Alexis went missing, a man came forward claiming his ex-wife was the missing girl. Since then, Ayanna Patterson has believed her daughter is not missing but alive and well, unable to believe the truth of her identity. But some detectives are certain that the answers about what happened to Alexis will be found closer to home. Alexis Patterson was 7 years old when she went missing from Milwaukee Wisconsin on May 3rd, 2002. At the time she was 3ft 8 inches tall and weighed approximately 42 pounds. She was last seen wearing a red hooded jacket with a gray stripe on the sleeves, a purple shirt, light colored blue jeans, and white Nike tennis shoes. She wore her hair in two braids pulled back into one ponytail and was carrying a pink "Barbie" book bag. She has black hair and brown eyes. She also has a scar under her right eye and a bump on her left pinky finger. There is a $10k reward being offered for information that leads investigators to Alexis. Anyone with information is urged to call their local FBI office. You can also submit a tip anonymously online at Tips.FBI.Gov. This episode originally aired on May 5, 2022.

With a 6-3 majority, the Supreme Court ruled President Trump exceeded his authority when he imposed tariffs via a law reserved for national emergencies. The president has used Nixon-era legislation to impose new, albeit temporary, tariffs. Also on the programme: the BBC understands the government is considering legislation to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the royal line of succession.And we hear from the scientist behind our ‘nature notes' series. What does the habit of observing the natural world give us in return?

Jenny (02:14): I have been thinking about conversations that I've been having and things that I've been seeing lately about this new found anger and rage for MAGA friends and family members. And I think this facade of hope for a long time that I had been called Hyperbolic and I'd been saying I was overreacting or I was paranoid, and then when things continued to escalate, there was the sense of, okay, now they'll see. Now they'll see. And really feeling like there's pretty much not more that could happen that would lift the veil of where we are in this current moment. And so then to still have family members not rejecting Trump, not rejecting Christian nationalism, not rejecting white supremacy, it has been really challenging to think through what does relationship mean right now? What does it mean from a privileged body too? I'm really hesitant, and Danielle and I have talked a lot about this, that it's a very white thing to be like, ah, I'm just going to not talk to you and I don't feel like that's necessary. And if people are saying, you just need to not talk about politics with me, what does it look like to hold my own integrity and be in relationship with people in this moment? I am struggling to know what that looks like and how to do that. Rebecca (04:20): It makes me think I'm getting ready to do, you guys probably saw this, but I'm going to do starting Monday, a group with Jen Murphy, and the name of it is Rebuilding Hope. And I think Hope has something to do with what you just said, Jenny. I am not sure how it plugs in, but I do think there's, what I hear is what do I do? Do I just give into the, they're never going to get there, and what does that mean for our capacity to stay connected in any way? Or do I still hold something of this hope that might even feel foolish in this moment of someday? Maybe somebody's going to get there. (05:18): And it reminds me a little bit of, I probably said this before in here too, there's a podcast between a conversation between Tahi cos and Ezra Klein, and in some ways they end up talking about this question of hope, although I don't think they use the word necessarily, but one of the questions that Ezra Klein it keeps asking is like, why do you keep putting everything in this long historical arc? Every single thing that we're talking about in this moment is sort of this question to Tanya. She comes like, why do you keep putting it in this long arc of history? Because that feels too heavy. It's too much, right? That's too dark. And in part I think at least the way I interpret coats as an answer is because that's where you access this kind of hope that over the long arc of history, something will shift and bend towards something that feels like justice. And that's sort of bringing Martin Luther King into this conversation about the long arc of justice. But I think Coates's answer is something of that's where we gather the capacity and the strength from the past in order to actually stay in the present with the kind of insistence for something good to come out of all of this. So I don't know, there's something in that sort of narrative and that history that I want to borrow from to say, unfortunately, this is not a new conversation in this country. (07:13): It feels that way because it's new in my lifetime. It's new in our lifetime, it's new in our generation, but it's not actually new to the country. And when you look over time, there has always forever been this strain of Christian nationalism and white supremacy, and yet we are still here and we are still here with moments like Bad Bunny in the Super Bowl still happening. And so I think, at least for me, in part, the answer to your question is I have to borrow from that space in order to have the capacity to stay in this one. And it occurs to me that I was born in the seventies post civil rights legislation by the time I was in high school applying to college, affirmative action was the law of the land (08:21): I have lived in. We have lived in the harvest of someone else's labor. We have lived in a time when rights were continually being added to the conversation in our lifetime, women could vote in our lifetime. Women can own property, they can have credit cards, they can hold all of these things. And this is the first time in my lifetime I have lived through a retraction of rights, a retraction of oxygen, a retraction of space, and it feels excruciating, but it's not the first time this country has been through that kind of rhythm and our ancestors survived and we will survive, right? At least for me, that's maybe not an answer to the question of how do you relate to your family? But it's the only way I have to go with it is to just say, somehow we will actually survive this. I don't know how, and I dunno what will be left when we start the process of rebuilding, but I have to borrow from that history to feel like I can breathe on a Thursday morning. Jenny (10:08): Yeah. I think that's part of what I am thinking of, and it's almost this existential, what is relationship if we can't see reality, if we can't acknowledge reality, if you're asking me to swallow my own reality and this collective reality, and I think it feels connected even to what you were sharing, Rebecca is like, there's something I feel particular in this moment where as far as I know, I don't have personal ancestry of resistance. I have ancestry of complicity. And so what does it look like to draw from the past with white ancestors who chose to assimilate to adopt whiteness rather than work against it and resist how we got here? Because it is like I don't want to appropriate the civil rights movement and I don't want to appropriate these resistances that I have so much respect for, and they weren't my collective or my ancestral resistance. And so I feel that even in this moment where there's this tension with my white community, my white family, the white spaces, I know it feels like there's so much tension there. I think Rebecca (11:45): Mean, the thing that I would say is that when I say the word ancestor as a black American person, I don't actually mean bloodline. And even if I did, I likely couldn't prove it because the records are either lost or weren't created. You can only go so far back before lineage because of the slave trade is not reported as people is reported as property. And so you can't track it past, once you run into slave owner, you can no longer track bloodline. I think what's true in collective cultures is this very broad collective tissue that means blood or not. (12:53): You are family that means blood or not. There is a recognition of some connective tissue between us because of our shared collective experience. And so I have no freaking idea if I'm related to Rosa Parks, I'm probably not right. But when I say that I'm borrowing from the strength of my ancestry, I'm still borrowing from her narrative and from what her contribution to our collective narrative. And so I think one of the things that I have noticed in my sort of limited lifespan is that when I say the word ancestry to someone who is white, they hear something very different than what I hear when I say that word. And so I don't feel the restriction of only being able to borrow from the story of people in my bloodline. I feel permission to borrow from the larger, wider collective that is the black American experience, that is the African Diasphoric experience. (14:08): And I would say I even feel permission to borrow things from other cultures. And I say this to Daniel all the time, I'm going to steal that from you, right? I'm going to borrow that, right? And I will give credit where credit is due. I will say, I'm borrowing something from the Latinx experience. If you watch the black interpretation of Bad Bunny, literally there's stuff on social media that's like, why do you care? We're not Latinx. And then it cuts to this clip of this, I don't know what it's, it looks like Bad Bunny in a tiny desk concert, but behind him is this black African drummer who's going off. And then the answer is, because I feel this music in my soul. So you can hear that we are intentionally borrowing something that feels familiar to us because we feel permission to borrow it. (15:13): And then there's a lot of conversations in the black community about Bad Bunny that's like, I don't need to understand Spanish to feel what cultural pride looks like, and I'm down for that all day long. But you can feel that sense of, I feel permission to borrow something that feels familiar. I won't name it as borrowing, so I won't appropriate it, but I do feel that permission. And so that's probably what I would say to you, not as a pass for what might be true in your actual blood lineage, but I think that there's a strong strain of resistance for people of European descent around race and racism in this country. It's buried and it's untold for probably really intentional reasons, but it's there. And what does it mean to actually be given permission to give yourself permission to borrow from that and to name it as, I'm actually going to pull something from someone else and I'm going to borrow their collective strength. I'm going to add it to mine so that we could go in a different direction. Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

Stephen Shames: A Lifetime in Photography – Lessons on Social Documentary, the Black Panthers, and Child Poverty (Part 1) Introduction In the latest episode of “10 Frames per Second,” host Molly & Joe interview legendary American photojournalist Stephen Shames. Over a 50‑year career, Shames has documented everything from the Black Panther Party to child poverty in America, testifying before the U.S. Senate and publishing twelve monographs. If you're a photographer, journalist, activist, or anyone who cares about visual storytelling, this interview is a goldmine. Below we break down the most actionable takeaways, organize them into easy‑to‑read sections, and show you how to apply Shames's methods to your own work. Who Is Stephen Shames? Fact Detail Profession Photojournalist & documentary photographer Career span 50+ years (1960s‑present) Focus Social issues – child poverty, racism, civil rights Notable achievements Testified before the U.S. Senate (1986), 42 museum collections, 12 monographs (e.g., Power to the People, Outside the Dream), new book Stephen Shames – A Lifetime in Photography – Purchase Directly with Autograph and Print from Stephen via eBay HERE Key collaborations Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, New York Times reporter Earl Caldwell, various grassroots organizations How Stephen Shames Discovered Photography College activism – While studying at UC Berkeley during the 1960s, he witnessed the civil‑rights movement and anti‑Vietnam protests. First camera purchase – After hitch‑hiking to New York's East Village, he bought a camera at a pawn shop. Choosing the “artist of the movement” – Frustrated by student‑government politics, he decided to capture the larger picture rather than be a “politician.” “I just wanted to look at the big picture and try and move people with photography.” Working with the Black Panther Party Why the Panthers Accepted a White Photographer Shared goals – Economic and social justice, not just race. Pragmatism – Panthers needed allies outside the Black community to build coalitions (Peace & Freedom Party, Young Lords, Young Patriots). Personal connection – Bobby Seale liked Shames's images and invited him to use them in the Panther newspaper. Key Facts About the Panthers (From the Interview) Founded: October 1966 (initially ~20 members). National expansion: Post‑1968, 10,000+ members, 50‑60 chapters. Community programs: “Breakfast for School Children,” feeding 10,000+ kids daily. Self‑defense model: Legal gun ownership (California) + law books; later, they shifted to “cameras are better weapons.” Lesson for Photographers Build trust by aligning with a group's mission, not merely your identity. Stephen Shames Research‑First Approach “Journalism is two‑dimensional; you need to experience the culture you want to document.” Steps to Deep‑Dive Research Read nonfiction – History, journalism, policy reports. Read fiction – Novels written by members of the community. Listen to music – Understand emotional tone and cultural references. Watch movies / documentaries – Visual language and storytelling cues. Live the bubble – Immerse yourself in daily life, food, rituals. Why It Matters Breaks the “bubble” of your own biases. Helps anticipate reactions and capture authentic moments. Stephen Shames on Building Trust & Relationships Core Principles Honesty: Be transparent about your intent. Respect: Never mock or look down on subjects (e.g., drug addicts, police). Reciprocity: Offer subjects control—let them tell you when to stop. Presence: Stay physically in the community (sleep on sofas, eat meals together). Practical Tactics Find a community “gatekeeper.” Example: a nun from Catholic Social Services who introduced Shames to Chicago projects. Sit down for a conversation before shooting – explain the project, listen to concerns. Share your work later (photos, stories) to reinforce the relationship. “If you're honest, people will accept you, even if you're a ‘liberal New York Jew.'” Bullet‑Point Checklist Identify and contact a respected local figure or organization. Explain your project in plain language. Offer a clear “opt‑out” for subjects. Spend time off‑camera – meals, conversations, errands. Follow up after the shoot with thank‑you notes or shared images. Cameras vs. Guns: The Evolution of “Weapons” 1960s‑70s: Panthers used firearms legally to patrol police. Today: Shames notes that cameras and smartphones are the most powerful weapons for exposing injustice. Why the shift? Legal restrictions on open carry. Instant global distribution of visual evidence. “The camera is a much better weapon because it puts the story directly in front of the world.” Lessons for Modern Photographers Insight How to Apply Research beyond headlines Read novels, watch local films, listen to playlists from the community. Immerse, don't observe from a distance Stay in the neighborhood for days or weeks, not just a single shoot. Earn trust through honesty Share your intent, give subjects a “stop” word, and be transparent about usage. Leverage community allies Partner with NGOs, churches, or trusted locals to gain entry. Think of yourself as a “doctor,” not a “tourist” Your presence should be accepted as part of the environment, not an intrusion. Use the camera as an activist tool Publish work on platforms that reach decision‑makers, not just art galleries. Document, don't dictate Let subjects tell their own story; avoid imposing your narrative. Why Shames's Story Matters Today Media fragmentation & AI‑generated images: Shames emphasizes that authentic, verified photography is more vital than ever. Social justice resurgence: The same patterns of protest, police scrutiny, and grassroots organizing repeat across generations. Educational relevance: Teachers can use Shames's methods to teach research, empathy, and ethical storytelling. Conclusion Stephen Shames's career shows that powerful photography comes from empathy, rigorous research, and deep community ties. Whether you're documenting the modern Black Lives Matter movement, child poverty, or any social issue, the principles he shares—exit your bubble, build trust, and let the camera speak—remain timeless. Ready to start your own documentary project? Apply the checklist above, stay authentic, and remember: your camera can change policy just as much as any courtroom testimony.

Tony Clarke steps down from top spot at MLBPA, Aaron Judge was not happy with the Yankees off-season early on Olympic update St. John's stays in top 20 what will Yes do with franchise tag

Did Aaron Judge really blast the Yankees' offseason, or did everyone hear what they wanted to hear? After one viral quote from spring training set social media on fire, we break down the FULL context of Judge's comments, including the positive answer most people ignored. Was his frustration about the team's direction, or simply the long wait to re-sign Cody Bellinger and key pieces? The debate gets heated as opinions clash over leadership, loyalty, expectations of “Yankees baseball,” and whether fans are projecting their own frustrations onto the captain. Does Judge actually support “running it back,” or was he subtly calling for more moves? And how much freedom has a three-time MVP earned to speak his mind?

One of the biggest challenges I hear from business owners ready to scale their reach is disappointment in how to make collaborations produce results. What could be growth fuel for their business has actually become a time and energy drain. Frustrated, they give up instead of optimizing their strategic partnership strategy. So why do collaborations work so easily for some expert-preneurs, but become a high cost for others?  In episode 478 of Amplify Your Success podcast, I talk about the four discernment factors every leader needs to consider before saying yes to a collaboration. These are the filters that protect your time, your energy, your reputation, and your momentum as your visibility and opportunities increase. I share why misaligned collaborations create hidden costs, how discernment becomes more important than enthusiasm at higher levels, and what it actually looks like to build collaboration currency you can access on demand. This conversation is not about avoiding collaboration. It's about choosing aligned collaborations intentionally, so it compounds your authority instead of fragmenting it. If you've ever said yes to something that looked aligned but didn't feel aligned once you were inside it, this episode will help you understand why and how to choose differently moving forward.   Key Takeaways:  [00:00] Why collaboration becomes more complex, not simpler, as your visibility grows. [02:48] The hidden energetic, emotional, and strategic costs of misaligned collaborations. [05:31] Why enthusiasm is not a reliable decision filter at higher levels of leadership. [07:44] The four discernment factors that protect your time, energy, and authority. [10:22] How collaboration currency is built through trust, proximity, and contribution. [13:09] The difference between collaboration that compounds and collaboration that drains. [15:46] Why saying no strategically creates more long-term opportunity. [18:27] How aligned collaborations accelerate visibility without forcing momentum.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Collaborative Currency System is a 5 step strategy to unlock aligned strategic partners and activate a stream of ideal clients and growth opportunities.

What if building your business in a small town is actually an advantage? In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Mullins, co-founder of Personality Pool, to talk about what startup life really looks like outside of big cities and venture-capital hype. We unpack the real pros and cons of building a company in a smaller community, from cost of living and mental health to networking challenges and unexpected opportunities. Lauren also shares how her own hiring struggles inspired Personality Pool, a video-based screening platform designed to help businesses hire for culture and personality, not just resumes. If you've ever wondered whether you need to move to a big city to grow your business, or how to build something meaningful exactly where you are, this episode will challenge a lot of assumptions. This one's honest, practical, and refreshingly real. ----- Frustrated with your government contracting journey? Join our group coaching community here:

Something is happening behind the scenes in the Nancy Guthrie alleged kidnapping case and most Americans are not hearing about it. Today on Stinchfield, Grant shares what he is being told about the emotional toll this case is taking on investigators. Anger is rising. Disappointment is growing. Resentment between agencies is beginning to boil over as critical decisions are being questioned. There are leakers that are damaging the quest to find a culprit. There is real outrage aimed at whoever leaked that authorities had a person in custody. Now that that person has been released investigators are being needlessly accused of incompetence. People will be detained and set free all the time, the leak is the main problem. Grant breaks down what this internal tension means for the direction of the case, how interagency friction can slow progress, and what the next investigative steps are likely to be. As pressure mounts and the clock keeps ticking, the question becomes whether egos and politics are getting in the way of justice.

Daily Word Research shows that each year millions of Christians leave their local church. They are not leaving Jesus, just the church because of frustration and burnout. This situation has been on my heart for a while and God has given me the words to express why this is really happening. Simply put, it is because the vision of the local church is/was elevated above the vision of the individual church member.     __________ John 4:34 KJV, Ephesians 4:11-12 KJV, Genesis 30:30 KJV     __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________                

Teaching students to write well has always been challenging, and newer developments have made it even more difficult: The internet offers unlimited text to plagiarize, standardized testing has pushed us to teach more formulaic writing, and AI constantly offers to do our writing for us. Frustrated with her students' lack of confidence and the robotic style of their writing, language arts teacher Nashwa Elkoshairi tried adding freewriting before and after her inquiry-based units. The results, she says, were dramatic: Students became more confident as writers and their writing developed far more depth and complexity than she'd ever seen before. In this episode, she joins me to talk about how she weaves freewriting into her classroom practice. ___________________________ Thanks to Renaissance and SchoolAI for sponsoring the episode.
