Over the weekend, the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes that reportedly hit more than 2,000 targets across Iran. In response, Iran struck sites across the Middle East. What, exactly, is the United States doing in Iran, especially now that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed? Nahal Toosi, senior foreign affairs correspondent and columnist at POLITICO, lays out what's likely to happen next and why it matters.And in headlines, Senator Lindsey Graham insists regime change is not the goal in Iran, Democrats mostly oppose the war (with some notable exceptions), and someone struck it big in a prediction market gamble on when the U.S. would strike Iran.Show Notes: Check out Nahal's latest on the war in Iran Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
Trump's stunning surprise attack on Iran could be the most consequential world event since 9/11. Will the President's goal of smooth regime change work when it failed every other time, or trigger a regional conflagration? Iran's hated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead but the Islamic Republic is showing no sign of collapsing. And now Hezbollah has attacked other Arab states as well as British and US military targets. How will the war play out? How resilient is the Islamic Republic? Does Israel want regime change or regime destruction? Does Iran have any potential leaders that the US could tolerate? And has anyone planned for running a country of 90 million people which is now in chaos?

February 26, 2026Kronos is chronological time.Kronos appears more than 50 times in the original New Testament.Kairos is a pregnant moment in time, an inflection-point of consequence.Does in surprise you that Kairos appears more than 85 times?Each of us vividly remembers those Kairos moments when we decided to turn the steering wheel of Life and begin traveling in a whole new direction.Jim Burns is a counselor. His voice is heard on more than 800 radio stations each day and he has 3 million books in print. But I didn't know any of that prior to him appearing as a guest speaker at our church last week.I tell you this only because Jim Burns said something that I really needed to hear.“I had to learn to say 'no' to good things, to say ‘yes' to the most important things.”That was a Kairos moment for me because it instantly crystallized something in my mind that had previously been only the foggy awareness that I was speaking with so many people each day that I no longer had time to take a deep breath and calm my thoughts.Then Jim said it again, but differently. “Sometimes we just have to say ‘no' to good things, even to say yes to the most important things. That's how we declutter. That's how we run light.”Two days later, I was surprised by a video on Youtube in which my friend Ryan Deiss mentions me by name. He had posted that video a couple of weeks before Jim Burns spoke at our church.Speaking of himself, Ryan says,“I literally had zero recollection whatsoever of what I did, or what any of my companies did those weeks, either. It's just like they were a complete blur. More than likely, I spent all my time responding to whatever emergency someone else decided was important for me on that particular day.”Wow. Ryan Deiss was speaking exactly what I had been feeling for more than a year.There are now 87 Wizard of Ads partners and many hundreds of clients, so I go to bed most nights exhausted by the long days, the countless conversations, and the constant feeling that I am somehow letting everyone down.But Ryan wasn't finished.“Scale creates chaos. So if you want to get bigger, you have to insist on focus and simplicity. It is a bit of a paradox, but the key to scale is actually to do less, not more. Because when you force yourself to do less, you shift the emphasis from quantity to impact. And at scale, output matters a lot more than activity.”We – not just me, but all of us – need to be on guard that we don't allow the “merely urgent” to displace the truly important.Have you ever noticed that the things that are truly important are rarely urgent, and things that are “exclamation-point URGENT” are rarely of lasting importance?Urgent things are momentary, but constant.Important things are forever, but they can always wait.And then one day, they can't wait any longer.And by then, it's often too late.For those of you who are curious, Indy Beagle has posted in the rabbit hole the Ryan Deiss Youtube video that I mentioned, as well as the Youtube video of Jim Burns speaking at our church.Those two messages, just 48 hours apart, created a Kairos moment for me.If you have been feeling what I was feeling and what Ryan was describing, maybe those videos will do the same for you.You can watch the videos or click past them if you don't have time.Believe me, I completely understand.Roy H. WilliamsAmerica's top CEOs pay Doug C. Brown to teach them how to rethink their approach to sales. Doug has consulted Procter & Gamble, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Embassy Suites. Doug C.

Mark discusses his transition from the arts to corporate leadership at Procter & Gamble, where he learned valuable lessons on authenticity and the significance of personal power.

Join us for an enlightening conversation that underscores the necessity of community, the impact of civic responsibility, and the pursuit of purpose in all aspects of life.

Paul Rieckhoff is stuck in Florida — airports shut down, snowstorm paralyzing the Northeast — but he's not going quiet. In this special episode, Paul breaks down Trump's State of the Union address in real time, delivering the sharpest analysis you won't hear anywhere else. The speech clocked in as the longest State of the Union ever delivered. Trump spent exactly three minutes on Iran — roughly 90 minutes in. Paul calls it what it is: a missed opportunity, a half-made case, and a failure of presidential responsibility. The core issue isn't whether military action against Iran is on the table — it clearly is. The pieces are in place. The forces are arrayed. Paul knows what that looks like firsthand; he was in Iraq when the U.S. went to war in 2003. What's missing from Trump's address is the one thing every commander-in-chief owes the American people before pulling the trigger: an honest accounting of the cost. No mention of consulting Congress. No coalition of allies. No preparation for what a long conflict — with real American casualties — could mean. Trump's approval rating among independents sits at 26%, down ten points from last year. That number tells the story. Then there's Ukraine. The United States just abstained from a United Nations vote affirming support for Ukraine — standing alongside Saudi Arabia. On the four-year anniversary of Russia's invasion. Paul, who founded American Veterans for Ukraine, doesn't mince words: it's a black mark on America's record, a moment that demanded moral clarity, and a president who chose silence instead. Finally, New York City. Paul weighs in on the viral NYPD snowball incident — where officers were pelted with ice by a mob — and the new mayor's stunning failure to stand with his police department. Paul breaks down why this moment matters far beyond one incident, and what it signals about a mayor who came into office with the lowest trust from the NYPD in recent memory.

Love is the shortcut to success. Whatever your desire, it's just 3 steps away. The first step is to be in love with your desire. The second is to trust that God is for you, not against you. And just the fact that you finally are embracing your desire as a possibility for yourself means that you've accepted the truth that God is at work arranging things on your behalf. The last step is the action step. What is the action? To express love. To simply be kind to those you come in contact with. Resist the urge to try to manipulate conditions to get yourself in front of the “right person.” Simply be kind to whoever it is that's in front of you wherever you are, and they will turn out to be a golden link in the chain of your good fortune. On today's episode, we share real life experiences of how gambling everything for love always pays off in miraculous ways. Today's guest, actor Steven Tom Thorpe inspires listeners with recent stories of how he's been loving his way to the top. Join the Prospering Patreon Community: www.Patreon.com/FunniestThing

Record-breaking EV milestones, the hidden dangers of fossil fuel crime, and a real-world test of what happens when a country bans new gas cars. In China, Nio pulled off an astonishing 175,000 battery swaps in a single day during the Lunar New Year travel rush — about two swaps every second — with drivers in and out in three to five minutes. It's a massive stress test that shows how battery swapping could compete with, or even outperform, traditional refueling for convenience and scale.

Starting at just $1 per month! We also examine how fuel theft in Mexico has evolved from small-time pipeline tapping into a billion-dollar criminal enterprise. Cartels now make enormous profits stealing oil and gas, and the consequences can be deadly. The 2019 pipeline explosion in Tlahuelilpan, which killed at least 137 people, remains one of the most tragic examples of how dangerous this underground economy can be. What began decades ago as localized "Robin Hood" style fuel theft has grown into an industrialized operation that in some regions rivals drug trafficking in profitability. Meanwhile, Ethiopia's 2024 ban on new combustion car sales is turning out to be less dramatic than critics predicted — and more effective. The move was driven largely by economics, as the country had been spending billions annually on refined fuel imports. With major hydropower expansion, including the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, Ethiopia now has excess clean electricity, growing EV adoption, and dramatically lower monthly fueling costs for drivers. Plus, South Dakota approves its largest wind farm yet, Waymo surpasses 200 million autonomous miles, France sets a new fusion runtime record, Tesla tops a French reliability study, and a pilot project proves portable solar panels can charge an EV in the sub-Arctic.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) tweets picture of cartel members wearing masks and captions with "cartel hitmen wear masks. Leftists aren't complaining".

Spanberger's response to tonight's State of the Union address. In the Fun Half: Tucker Carlson presses Mike Huckabee on his claim that Israel has a "biblical right" to the land from the Euphrates to Nile. The leader of Israel's "opposition" party expresses the same beliefs as Huckabee regarding biblical deeds to the Middle East. Tucker also debates with Huckabee how much the Trump administration values the opinions of American's considering the overwhelming rejection of a potential war with Iran.

What would you fight for if you were free but still not equal? In 1777, brothers William and Benjamin Frank answered that question by enlisting in the Second Rhode Island Regiment of the Continental Army. Freeborn men of color, they gambled that military service would earn them what freedom alone had not: equality, land, and a better future. Historian Shirley Green, author of Revolutionary Blacks: Freeborn Men of Color, Soldiers of Independence, joins us to tell their story. Drawing on genealogical research rooted in her own family history, Green reveals what daily life looked like for free Black families in Revolutionary Rhode Island, how the Frank Brothers fought at the Battles of Red Bank, Monmouth, and Rhode Island, and how the Revolution ultimately divided them—one brother serving through Yorktown, the other crossing to the British side and resettling in Nova Scotia as a Black Loyalist. Their story is a window into the full range of Black experiences during the Revolution, and a reminder that for men like William and Benjamin Frank, choosing a side was never simple. It was a calculated gamble, shaped by promises made—and promises broken.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYIn 2026's 'forever layoff' era, women leaders who master continuous improvement leadership outperform peers, reduce their layoff risk, and accelerate promotions. Olaf Boettger's 27-year Kaizen framework — courage, humility, discipline — turns daily small improvements into extraordinary career results.Key stat: Toyota workers are 2x more productive than competitors using this same system.? QUICK TAKEAWAYS• Continuous improvement leadership doubles your career productivity vs. peers who stop learning• The 3 capabilities every woman leader needs: courage to name problems, humility to keep learning, discipline to stay consistent• Kaizen's daily 15-minute team meeting is directly applicable to your own career self-management• GE's turnaround under Larry Culp proves CI works in any industry — finance, tech, healthcare, or your own career• In 2026's 'forever layoff' climate, CI skills signal indispensable strategic value to any organizationIf you're a woman leader in 2026, the job market has changed dramatically — and not in your favor. Glassdoor's Worklife Trends report calls it the 'forever layoff': small, rolling cuts that never make headlines but keep talented executives in a constant state of anxiety. Meanwhile, AI is reshaping roles at every level, and the competition for standout positions has never been fiercer.As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast — ranked in the top 1.5% globally with over 750,000 downloads — I've interviewed more than 144 of the world's top leadership experts. When I heard Olaf Boettger's approach to continuous improvement leadership, I immediately knew this was the missing framework most women leaders had never considered.Olaf spent 27 years at Procter & Gamble and Danaher — two of the most operationally excellent companies on earth — mastering the Japanese Kaizen philosophy. What he discovered translates directly to career acceleration: the same system that doubled Toyota's worker productivity and powered GE's biggest turnaround in American history can supercharge your leadership brand and make you the candidate no one can afford to pass over. The 2026 Career Reality: Why 'Working Hard' Is No Longer Enough The data is sobering for women leaders right now. According to Glassdoor's 2025 Workplace Trends report, small layoffs — under 50 people — now represent 51% of all job cuts, up from just 38% in 2015. These 'forever layoffs' create cultures of anxiety where talented women question their value daily.At the same time, female manager engagement dropped seven percentage points in 2025 alone — the steepest decline of any group, according to Gallup research. Women leaders are being asked to do more with less, carrying teams through AI disruption and RTO mandates, while their own career advancement stalls.The traditional answer — work harder, be more visible, volunteer for every high-profile project — simply isn't scaling. In a market where 45% of employers rate the job outlook as 'fair' at best, you need a completely different strategy. You need continuous improvement leadership. ?

GET YOUR FREE LEADERSHIP BRANDING BLUEPRINT ACCELERATOR What Is Continuous Improvement Leadership? The Kaizen Framework Explained Continuous improvement — known in Japanese as Kaizen, meaning 'change for the better' — originated at Toyota nearly 90 years ago. After World War II, with limited resources and a need to compete globally, Toyota developed a system to extract maximum quality and efficiency from every process. That system, now called the Toyota Production System, became the foundation of what we know as Lean, Six Sigma, and the Danaher Business System.For women leaders, continuous improvement leadership means applying these same principles to your career, your team, and your organization. It is not a one-time initiative or a January resolution. It is a daily practice — a permanent operating system.The Three Foundation PrinciplesOlaf distills continuous improvement leadership into three core principles:Kaizen — The belief that there is always a better way. This is not about being self-critical; it is about being growth-oriented. Every interaction, presentation, and leadership decision is an opportunity to iterate and improve.Go to Gemba — Go to the real place. Stop relying on slide decks and secondhand reports. As a leader, this means visiting your stakeholders, understanding what your team actually experiences day-to-day, and staying close to the work that creates value.Customer focus — Always anchor to what your 'customer' values. In a career context, your customers are your executive stakeholders, your team, and the business outcomes you're hired to deliver. Everything you do should be filtered through: does this add value for them?The Three Capabilities That Determine SuccessAccording to Olaf, your mindset determines everything. Leaders who succeed with continuous improvement possess three non-negotiable capabilities:CapabilityWhat It Looks Like in PracticeWhy Women Leaders Need It NowCOURAGEHonestly naming when your performance or your team's is 'red' — even when the culture rewards positivity over truth.In 2026's performance-pressured environment, leaders who surface problems first are seen as strategic — not weak.HUMILITYStaying open to learning regardless of your experience level. As Olaf says: the best leaders he's known, including P&G's CEO A.G. Lafley, were the most humble.Imposter syndrome tempts women to prove they already know everything. Humility is the counterintuitive superpower.DISCIPLINEShowing up for improvement consistently — not just in January. Committing to the decade, not the quarter.Career advancement compounds. The women who stand out in 2026 are those who have been quietly improving for years. The Business Case: What Continuous Improvement Leadership Actually Delivers For skeptics — and Olaf acknowledges that many leaders initially resist this approach — the numbers make a compelling argument. Toyota, the originator of this system, generates roughly twice the revenue per employee compared to its nearest competitors. Danaher, where Olaf spent the bulk of his career, has sustained approximately 15–16% compound annual growth for 40 consecutive years.The most visible example is GE's transformation under Larry Culp — the former Danaher CEO who took over when GE was in deep financial trouble. Using continuous improvement as the operating backbone, Culp and his teams executed what many consider one of the greatest corporate turnarounds in American business history, eventually splitting GE into three highly successful independent companies.On a practical level, Olaf shared a specific case study from a Danaher acquisition: a company delivering orders on time just 50% of the time. Using CI methodologies, that number rose to 95%. For context, if Amazon delivered your packages on time half the time, you'd stop using Amazon. A 45-percentage-point improvement is not incremental — it's transformational. TRY THIS NOW (10 Minutes)Apply Olaf's Red/Green method to your career right now: Identify one goal you have for your career this quarter (promotion, salary increase, high-visibility project).Set a specific target. Write your current actual. Color code it: are you green (on track) or red (below target)? If red — write one sentence explaining why.Then write one action you will take this week to close the gap. That's continuous improvement leadership in action. Do this every Monday. How to Apply Continuous Improvement Leadership to Your Career in 2026 The beauty of Kaizen is that it scales from a Toyota factory floor to your personal career strategy. Here's how to translate Olaf's framework into your daily leadership practice:The 15-Minute Daily Leadership HuddleAt every Danaher facility, teams hold a 15-minute standing meeting every morning. They review five metrics — safety, quality, delivery, inventory, productivity — and ask: are we red or green? If red, why? Who does what by when?For your career, your five metrics might be: stakeholder relationships, project delivery, skill development, visibility, and team performance. A daily or weekly 10-minute self-check asking those same questions creates the discipline of continuous improvement at the individual level.Visual Management for Your CareerOlaf emphasizes making performance visible. In organizations, this means color-coded boards. For your career, this translates to maintaining a simple achievement tracker — a running document of your wins, metrics, and impact — that you review weekly. This directly feeds your Leadership Branding Blueprint and becomes the evidence base for promotion conversations.The Growth Mindset + Kaizen ConnectionOlaf's PhD research connected him deeply to Carol Dweck's work on fixed vs. growth mindsets. Dweck's research demonstrates that individuals who believe abilities can be developed through dedication consistently outperform those who believe talent is fixed. Continuous improvement is the operational expression of growth mindset — it gives you the system that turns that belief into measurable career results.

Is the world sleepwalking into war while pretending it's just another round of “negotiations”? This episode connects the dots between Iran's nuclear brinkmanship, President Trump's looming 10-day warning, the fantasy of Hamas disarmament and Tucker Carlson's clash with Ambassador Mike Huckabee, arguing that they're all part of the same ideological battle. You'll learn why some believe U.S.–Iran talks are political theater, what's really at stake for ordinary Iranians as executions rise, why the “two-state solution” debate misses the ideological core of the conflict and how media narratives, from Washington to the BBC, shape public perception. The panel doesn't hold back, diving into child soldiers, international law, congressional hypocrisy and the propaganda ecosystem surrounding Israel.

Are the Lakers pretenders or contenders? Arash Markazi and Grant Mona are joined by Mykell Mathieu to break down a packed week in Los Angeles sports. In Segment 1, the guys hold nothing back while dissecting the Lakers' brutal 111-89 blowout loss to the Boston Celtics at Crypto.com Arena. Despite solid scoring nights from Luka Dončić and LeBron James, the Lakers were outhustled and outplayed by Jaylen Brown and Payton Pritchard. The crew discusses the harsh criticism surrounding the team's effort and whether this roster truly has what it takes to compete for a championship this season. In Segment 2, the conversation shifts to the other side of LA. The Clippers shook up the NBA at the trade deadline, shipping out James Harden and defensive anchor Ivica Zubac to get younger with Darius Garland and Bennedict Mathurin. Arash, Grant, and Mykell debate if this was a necessary reset or a massive mistake that leaves Kawhi Leonard on an island for the rest of the season. Finally, we wrap up with the boys in blue! Baseball is officially back, and we've got all the updates from Dodgers Spring Training in Glendale—from Shohei Ohtani throwing live bullpens to the newest additions making an immediate impact.

What does it take not only to plan growth – but to actually deliver it? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan speaks with Martin Hettich – former senior executive at Procter & Gamble and now Partner at Boston Consulting Group. With more than 30 years of international leadership experience, Martin shares the principles that enable sustainable growth in complex environments. The conversation explores entrepreneurial curiosity, critical thinking, and the discipline of continuous reinvention. Martin reflects on how early experiences in sports shaped his resilience, why honest feedback is a true gift in leadership, and why integrity remains the most essential trait of any leader. Together, Stefan and Martin discuss what corporations can learn from consulting firms – and vice versa, why many organizations only take innovation seriously when they have to, and how a relentless focus on customer impact and real leverage leads to better decisions. A key theme: the ability to say no and to invest time where it truly creates value. A conversation about growth with substance, leadership with character, and the courage to keep developing yourself – so strategy turns into real results. ––– More about Martin Hettich: // LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-hettich-35778125/?locale=de_DE // WEBSITE: https://hettichconsulting.com ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

In this deeply personal episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, Sruli Stern shares the hidden double life he lived for years as a compulsive gambler. From a childhood scratch-off card to high-stakes nights in Atlantic City, Sruli walks listeners through the slow escalation of an addiction that hijacked his logic, strained his marriage, buried him in debt, and nearly cost him everything. With raw honesty, he describes the lies, the rationalizations, the spiritual confusion, and the crushing moment when he lost his family's rent money and considered crashing his car rather than face the truth. What follows is a powerful story of rock bottom, confession, and recovery. Sruli opens up about coming clean to his wife, walking into his first Gamblers Anonymous meeting, rebuilding trust one step at a time, and confronting the deeper pain that fueled his addiction in the first place. This episode is not just about gambling, it is about accountability, faith, marriage, and the courage to change. Whether you have struggled personally or love someone who has, this conversation sheds light on a silent battle affecting more people than we realize and offers real hope that recovery is possible.

Devil deals, cursed bargains, crossroads temptation, and payback from hell — this Weekly Spooky horror compilation is packed with supernatural revenge, demonic contracts, and the kind of “too good to be true” offers that always come with blood in the fine print.Tonight's theme: Deals with the Devil. Four stories. Four bargains. And every single one of them comes due.Stories in this compilation (in order):“The Deal Was Great, But The Payments Are Hell” — Joe Solmo: A paranoid man on the run thinks he's being hunted… but the truth at his motel door is far worse than he imagined. “Even Witches Can Cry” — Charles Campbell: A grieving mother makes the one promise you never make… and the debt collector shows up when life finally feels normal again. “Gamble with the Devil” — David O'Hanlon: A would-be mercenary wants glory on camera—until a “simple” raid turns into an invitation to something ancient, hungry, and very real. “The Devil Knows Three Chords” — John Oak Dalton: Two bluegrass legends hit a breaking point backstage in 1968… and one of them may have gotten famous the wrong way. If you love scary stories, demon lore, witchcraft horror, and crossroads mythology, press play… and remember: the devil doesn't need your soul up front—just your signature.
SummaryIn this first-ever episode of Visionary Leader, Steve Blair sits down with host Jim Robinson for a candid conversation about the real evolution of leadership. From his own winding path, spanning roles at Procter & Gamble to leading organizations in Arkansas, Steve offers insight on what it truly takes to become an impactful leader.Leadership, Steve explains, is not an overnight achievement but a journey with real milestones. He describes four pivotal chapters in his career: starting as a capable contributor, moving into authentic management, stepping up to organizational leadership, and finally reaching a place where he's truly operating in his “sweet spot.” Honest reflection about these phases reveals that finding your lane in leadership sometimes takes decades, but with the right support, it can happen faster.A key takeaway from the episode is the power of authenticity, with Steve stressing the importance of living and leading by your core values, and making decisions through their lens. He advocates that storytelling is one of the most influential tools leaders possess because having real stories at the ready helps bring organizational values to life and creates a culture that sticks.Additionally, the episode also dives deep into how leaders can accelerate engagement, set expectations, and move people forward, not just through systems, but by caring deeply and modeling behaviors they wish to see in others. If you're looking to step up as a leader, this conversation is packed with wisdom you won't want to miss!Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(05:20) Steve's Career Growth and Leadership Journey(10:46) Leaderships Influence on Corporate Culture(11:57) Using Organizational Values to Lead(16:20) Authenticity and Clear Leadership Values(19:07) Buy-In-Based Feedback Development(25:23) Reinforcing Company Values with Storytelling(32:36) How Manager Engagement Shapes Team SuccessLinksJim Robinson CGP Maintenance and Construction ServicesSteve BlairFulcrum Collective

This week on Your Undivided Attention, Tristan Harris and Daniel Barcay offer a backstage recap of what it was like to be at the Davos World Economic Forum meeting this year as the world's power brokers woke up to the risks of uncontrolled AI. Amidst all the money and politics, the Human Change House staged a weeklong series of remarkable conversations between scientists and experts about technology and society. This episode is a discussion between Tristan and Professor Yoshua Bengio, who is considered one of the world's leaders in AI and deep learning, and the most cited scientist in the field. Yoshua and Tristan had a frank exchange about the AI we're building, and the incentives we're using to train models. What happens when a model has its own goals, and those goals are ‘misaligned' with the human-centered outcomes we need? In fact this is already happening, and the consequences are tragic. Truthfully, there may not be a way to ‘nudge' or regulate companies toward better incentives. Yoshua has launched a nonprofit AI safety research initiative called Law Zero that isn't just about safety testing, but really a new form of advanced AI that's fundamentally safe by design.RECOMMENDED MEDIA All the panels that Tristan and Daniel did with Human Change House LawZero: Safe AI for Humanity Anthropic's internal research on ‘agentic misalignment' RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES Attachment Hacking and the Rise of AI PsychosisHow OpenAI's ChatGPT Guided a Teen to His DeathWhat if we had fixed social media?What Can We Do About Abusive Chatbots? With Meetali Jain and Camille CarltonCORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS 1) In this episode, Tristan Harris discussed AI chatbot safety concerns. The core issues are substantiated by investigative reporting, with these clarifications:Grok: The Washington Post reported in August 2024 that Grok generated sexualized images involving minors and had weaker content moderation than competitors. Meta: The Wall Street Journal reported in December 2024 that Meta reduced safety restrictions on its AI chatbots. Testing showed inappropriate responses when researchers posed as 13-year-olds (Meta's minimum age). Our discussion referenced "eight year olds" to emphasize concerns about young children accessing these systems; the documented testing involved 13-year-old personas.Bottom line: The fundamental concern stands—major AI companies have reduced safety guardrails due to competitive pressure, creating documented risks for young users.2) There was no Google House at Davos in 2026, as stated by Tristan. It was a collaboration at Goals House. 3) Tristan states that in 2025, the total funding going into AI safety organizations was “on the order of about $150 million.” This number is not strictly verifiable.

On this episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, Pop editor Sara Spruch-Feiner is joined by Catherine D'Aragon, CEO of First Aid Beauty, to discuss the brand's recent rebrand — its first in its near-20-year lifespan — and its decision to partner with Team USA ahead of the Winter Olympics. The conversation comes at a time when beauty brands are increasingly showing up at the Olympics — from athlete partnerships and product seeding (First Aid gifted all Team USA members) to behind-the-scenes content and performance-focused skin care. Brands including Fenty Beauty, L'Oréal Paris and Glossier have previously activated around the Olympics, as has First Aid Beauty's parent company, Procter & Gamble. Procter & Gamble also owns Gillette Venus, which is sponsoring U.S. Figure Skating athletes Alysa Liu, Isabeau Levito, and Starr Andrews. The discussion also explores why beauty brands are increasingly turning to athletes, how First Aid Beauty is positioning itself around simplicity and skin "support" in a crowded skin-care market, and how the brand plans to translate a global sporting moment into long-term relevance.

Before Spinbrush became the top selling toothbrush in the U.S—and before Procter & Gamble paid $475M for it—John Osher was a teenager selling earrings for $4.99. In this episode, John walks through the strange, scrappy, but disciplined path that led to one of the fastest consumer-product breakouts ever: from a six-year stint in a commune (where he learned plumbing and carpentry), to selling baby products and battery-powered spinning lollipops. Finally, the big bet: a $5 electric toothbrush that was cheap enough to compete with manual brushes, and good enough to become a best-seller.You'll hear the make-or-break moment that many founders can't survive: the decision to scrap 400,000 defective brushes before they hit the shelves. And then, the stealth move that turned a “licensing pitch” into a buyout —with one perfectly timed bluff.What you'll learn:Why pricing is about what the market will pay, not what your product costsThe hidden power of packaging (How “Try Me” changed everything)How to recover from “entrepreneurial terror” Why scrapping inventory can be the most important decision you'll ever makeThe acquisition formula: you get a lot more money when they want to buy… than when you want to sellTimestamps: 07:01 - A pricing lesson that John used forever: The 19-cent earrings that sold for $4.99.12:04 - Six years in a commune and the unexpected skill stack: plumbing and construction.22:09 - “Entrepreneurial terror” and a lifeline from Toys R Us 29:11 - Spinning lollipops lead to a $166 million Hasbro exit.35:54 - What's the real competition: $80 electric toothbrushes, or cheap manual ones?38:42 - The design breakthrough: fixed + oscillating bristles.55:43 - P&G admits: “We've bought three companies like yours… and ruined them all.”58:07 - The earnout problem: What happens when Spinbrush performs much better than expected?
