Now, When people think of the British Army in the age of Napoleon, they usually picture the big stuff - Waterloo. Salamanca. Lines of redcoats smashing French columns.  But that was only part of the story. Because the British Army of this era was not just fighting set-piece battles in Spain and Belgium. It was everywhere. Corsica. Egypt. The Low Countries. Strange little expeditions, half-forgotten raids, awkward amphibious landings, sieges, disasters, and operations that now sit in the shadows of the more famous campaigns. And some of them are extraordinary. In this episode, I'm joined once again by historian Steve Brown - he is a Goliath of British military history of the Napoleonic era and his books are incredible . Today he is digging into three neglected actions: the invasion of Corsica in 1794, the Ostend raid of 1798, and the Fraser expedition to Egypt in 1807. They may be obscure, but they are anything but dull. We've got Horatio Nelson losing the sight in an eye, British troops smashing their objectives and then being wrecked by the weather and Highlanders and Swiss soldiers ending up in Egyptian slave markets. So put the big battles out of your mind for a bit and grab a brew. I started off by asking Steve what made him want to research these obscure corners of the Great War against France.   Buy Steve's books here - https://amzn.to/4rlq6x1  Join my Patreon here - https://www.patreon.com/RedcoatHistory

Survivor 50 B&B Ep 3 Recap w/ Maggie Morgan & Laura Girard With a new Survivor season upon us, it's time for Mike Bloom and Liana Boraas to reopen the RHAP B&B! On the B&B, Mike and Liana are inspired by the lighter side of Survivor, featuring a series of segments and games based on what's happening on Survivor that week. This week, Mike is joined by RHAP's Maggie Morgan and online fitness coach Lauren Girard for Episode 3! The Survivor B&B is back as host Mike Bloom breaks down the chaos, twists, and legendary personalities of this milestone season. Joined by returning guests Maggie Morgan and Laura Girard, this episode explores a wild tribe swap, stand-out social dynamics, and one of the most cringeworthy “Jeff moments” in Survivor history. From blindsiding favorites to the unraveling of old wounds, episode 3's unexpected moments set the tone for a truly electric season. This week's Survivor 50 episode throws the game into overdrive with a fan-driven tribe swap, forcing icons and new-schoolers alike to rethink every alliance. Strategies get tested as Charlie's unresolved jury heartbreak with Rizo takes center stage, revealing grudges that cross seasons. The swap causes cracks and comedic chaos across the camps, like Emily's info dumps and shifting loyalties, while the David vs. Goliath trio scrambles to hold ground. The group unpacks Ozzy's new alliances, Coach's classic antics, and Colby's surprise resurgence, not to mention an instantly notorious Jeff Probst rap performance that leaves the cast and fans in stunned disbelief. – Why Charlie and Rizo's simmering beef is the most unexpectedly juicy storyline – How Emily's “see the ball, hit the ball” moves leave her allies reeling – Colby's “yasss” moments and why his comeback is hitting just right – Coach's unmatched TV energy: reality legend or walking meme? – Jeff's tribe swap rap: unforgettable twist or the real “dangerous kind” at Tribal? – Laura and Maggie's hot takes on edit focus and whether it's better to go deep or wide with returning legends As rivalries boil over and Survivor 50 plays like the “Avengers: Endgame” of the franchise, will fan-driven chaos help or handicap the returnees? Who can keep their old-school cool as alliances and votes explode?

Today we look at one of the most famous events in the entire Bible: David and Goliath. As we look at this familiar passage, we'll see that it has much more to say than simply "conquering the giants in our life". Join us for another key study in the key chapters of the Bible! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    The opening verses of chapter 17 tells us that the Philistines were gathering for battle at Socoh. According to verse 1, where was this city? What does this fact tell us about the Philistine dominance over Israel during this time?  2.    The fight between David and Goliath was something called "Single Combat" where a single soldier would represent the entire army. What does the fact that no Israelite was willing to face Goliath indicate about their trust in God? What does verse 11 tell us about their mindset during this time? 3.    According to 1 Samuel 13:22, only Saul and Jonathan had swords. Therefore, who was most likely supposed to go out and fight Goliath? 4.    When David saw Goliath taunting the armies of Israel, what was his response? What were his brother's reactions to his questions? Why do you think they responded this way? 5.    According to verse 25, what was Saul prepared to give to whomever would defeat Saul? 6.    When Saul turned down David's offer to fight Goliath, how did David respond? How is that an indication of his abiding & persistent faith?  7.    Who was David trusting in verse 37? What reasons did he give for his trust? 8.    Read over David's words to Goliath in verses 45-47. What did they indicate about David's faith and more importantly, his purpose in fighting Goliath?  9.    Saul and Jonathan wouldn't fight Goliath with swords; what did David fight with? Therefore, what was really necessary for David to have victory over Goliath?  10.    What were some ways discussed in the podcast, that David's faith was galvanized? How did this faith galvanize his will to act? How did this compel him to fight when no one else would? 11.    What is motivating you to press forward in your life? Can any of your motives be further refined that your life would be about bringing glory to God? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

David had access to the king's armor. Tested in battle. Proven to work. And he took it off. Because the armor that works for someone else will exhaust you — and most leaders are living in borrowed strategies that are slowly crushing them.In the Series 1 finale, Rion breaks down 1 Samuel 17, John 13:3-5, and Exodus 4:2 to reveal the difference between leading from aspiration and leading from identity. Jesus could wash feet because He knew who He was. David could face Goliath because he refused to fight in someone else's armor.This episode introduces two frameworks: The Translation Matrix (connecting your past mastery to current challenges) and the Sling Statement (one sentence that declares who you actually are). Rion also recaps the four-episode arc and introduces the Integration Protocol for leaders ready to go deeper.Key Takeaways:•  David rejected proven armor — because what works for someone else exhausts you•  John 13:3-5: "Jesus knew who He was... so He got up and served"•  Exodus 4:2: "What is that in your hand?" — your native genius is already in your grip•  The Translation Matrix: mapping past mastery to present challenges•  How to write your Sling Statement in one sentence

Gary Holt joins Loudwire Nights to help fans get ready for Exodus' new album, 'Goliath,' and says their next record is already nearly wrapped up.

On this week's Big Hunt Guys podcast, Trail and Lorenzo sit down with professional skateboarder and hunting guide Geoff Rowley and Jake Franklin from Kika Worldwide Outfitters. Geoff walks through his story—from growing up skating in Liverpool, England to becoming one of the most influential street skaters ever—and how his path eventually led him into the world of hunting. The discussion dives into his passion for chasing bighorn sheep, guiding hunts, and the mindset that overlaps between skateboarding and mountain hunting. Jake and Geoff also recap the hunt for “Goliath”, which is one of the largest desert bighorn rams ever taken by Jason Hairston in 2017. Today's episode covers what might seem an unlikely intersection of skateboarding and hunting—but highlights the shared drive behind people and pursuits.Learn more about GOHUNT.Follow GOHUNT on Social Media:InstagramYouTube - Podcast ChannelYouTube - Main ChannelFacebook

On this episode of Late to the Party, we finally sit down to talk about the 2000 legal drama Erin Brockovich. From award-winning performances to its real-life environmental case, we discuss why this film became such a defining movie of the early 2000s and whether it still holds up today. We break down the story, the performances, and some of the storytelling choices that helped make the film both accessible and impactful.• The powerhouse performance from Julia Roberts that ultimately won her the Academy Award for Best Actress• The simplification of the real-life case the film is based on, and whether that choice made the story more accessible or took away from the complexity of the situation• Underdeveloped relationships with some of the side characters, including Erin's children and George• Why the film works as a classic David vs. Goliath story where the little guy takes on a powerful corporation• Erin's dynamic with Ed Masry, played by Albert Finney, and why we thought the pairing worked so well on screenIf you've never seen Erin Brockovich or you're revisiting it years later like we did, tune in as we break down what works, what doesn't, and whether this real-life legal drama still packs the same punch.Synopsis: A twice-divorced mother of three who sees an injustice, takes on the bad guy and wins – with a little help from her push-up bra. Erin goes to work for an attorney and comes across medical records describing illnesses clustered in one nearby town. She starts investigating and soon exposes a monumental cover-up.

Calling historical fiction writers, memoirists, and anyone writing a "David and Goliath" style story! In this episode, I do a deep dive into the Speech in Praise of the Villain and I show how the filmmakers expertly (and seamlessly) used exposition to let the viewing audience know just how formidable the antagonist is. (The level of craft here is truly next-level stuff!) And Melanie explains how, yet again, we have a story where the protagonist is a constant character...he doesn't have an arc, but the story sure does!

☎️ Schedule a Business Evaluation Call with The Construction Leading Edge Team HERE EPISODE 434: There's a problem in your construction business right now that you've already identified — but haven't engaged with yet. A tough conversation with a client or employee, a financial trend you keep meaning to address, a hire you've been putting off. And every day you wait, it takes up more mental real estate. And that gap between recognizing a problem and actually engaging it is the breeding ground for fear, anxiety, and 2 a.m. wake-ups. In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast, I borrow a lesson straight from Navy SEAL tactics: the answer is in the room. The solution to the problem is inside the problem, so speculation, hesitation, and waiting for more information won't get you closer to solving it. I share 3 steps to stop standing outside the problem and start solving what's in front of you.

When Luke records Jesus commanding the Twelve to take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, he activates a deliberate stripping that recalls the scriptural logic of exile as exposure. The Hebrew root ג-ל-ה (gimel-lamed-heh) can function as “to uncover” or, by extension, “to go into exile,” linking displacement with nakedness in the prophetic texts themselves. There, exile is repeatedly portrayed as being uncovered, stripped naked, and shamed before the nations. Nakedness is not merely physical but signals dispossession and removal from the land. In Luke 8, the Gerasene demoniac embodies this condition, naked, outside the city among the tombs, cut off from communal and tribal life, a living figure of exposure in exile. When Jesus restores him, he is clothed and seated in his right mind, and he is commanded to return home to bear fruit as a witness, with nothing in hand but the knowledge of his sins and the command of God. Immediately afterward, in Luke 9, Jesus sends the Twelve out divested of staff and supplies, stripped of institutional and tribal supports, and of any authority derived from them. Though not naked in body, they are stripped of the signs of power, protection, affiliation, and provision. Both the demoniac and the Twelve thus reflect the same scriptural function: exile as nakedness, and exposure out in the open as the precondition of restoration for mission.ῥάβδος (rhabdos) / מ-ט-ה (mem-ṭet-heh)Staff; tribe, delegated power. From the triliteral root נ-ט-ה (nun-ṭet-heh), to stretch out, to extend, to incline.“And you shall take in your hand this staff [מַטֶּה (maṭṭeh)] with which you shall do the signs.” (Exodus 4:17)The staff represents what is stretched out. In Exodus, it symbolizes the instrument through which delegated authority operates, acting as an extended hand. In Numbers 17, each leader brings his staff, which denotes his tribe. Extension here signifies lineage: what is stretched out becomes a branch, and that branch becomes a tribe. Thus, the rod is not just wood but a visible symbol of authority and continuity, indicating the ordered descent and delegated power.ῥάβδος (rhabdos) / ש-ב-ט (šin-bet-ṭet)Rod, scepter, tribe. From the triliteral root ש-ב-ט (šin-bet-ṭet), associated with striking and ruling.“You shall break them with a rod [בְּשֵׁבֶט (be-šebeṭ)] of iron.” (Psalm 2:9)The rod is the instrument of rule. It disciplines, enforces, and governs. In Proverbs, it corrects; in Isaiah, it becomes the rod of divine anger; in royal psalms, it signifies sovereign authority. The same word names a tribe, linking governance with structure. The rod is therefore not merely a stick but embodied jurisdiction, the visible sign of judicial and royal power.ῥάβδος (rhabdos) / ק-ל-ל (qof-lamed-lamed)Rod; stick; branch, to be light, slight.“And the Philistine said to David, ‘Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks [בַּמַּקְלוֹת (ba-maqqelot)]?'” (1 Samuel 17:43)This rod belongs to the field, not the throne. It is the shepherd's implement, the ordinary support of the traveler. In Genesis 30 Jacob uses rods in the tending of flocks; in Samuel David carries them into battle as a shepherd confronting a warrior. The stick here signifies pastoral presence rather than institutional authority. It is wood in the hand of the lowly, not the emblem of a court.ῥάβδος (rhabdos) / ש-ע-ן (šin-ʿayin-nun)Staff of support. From the verbal root ש-ע-ן (šin-ʿayin-nun), to lean upon, to rely.“Behold, you are trusting in Egypt, that broken staff [מִשְׁעֶנֶת (mišʿenet)] of reed.” (Isaiah 36:6)The staff here is what one leans upon. It represents reliance, alliance, and structural backing. When it breaks, dependence collapses, and the individual who is leaning on it falls. The rod becomes a metaphor for political trust and misplaced confidence. It is not an instrument of striking but of support, the symbol of that upon which stability rests.ῥάβδος (rhabdos) / שַׁרְבִיט (šarbiṭ)Scepter; royal staff. Likely a Persian (modern-day Iran) loanword associated with imperial authority.“If the king holds out the golden scepter [שַׁרְבִיט (šarbiṭ)] that is in his hand, he shall live.” (Esther 4:11)In Esther, the rod is sovereignty compressed into a single gesture. Life and death depend on whether it is extended. It is not the shepherd's staff, not the tribal symbol, not the rod of discipline. It is ceremonial kingship embodied in gold. The scepter draws the line between execution and mercy, exclusion and acceptance. Authority is visible, concentrated in the king's hand.But does the king's own life ultimately matter? A wise leader knows that his life is of little value because it does not belong to him. As Jesus commands, the sign of God is neither the owner, the support, nor the strength of God's many peoples. There is no god but God. Scripture repeatedly shows, through Persian rulers like Cyrus and Xerxes, that real control belongs neither to Israel, nor to the king, nor to the empire. Sovereignty belongs to God alone, who governs history itself, directing kings as easily as he directs the sun and the moon, according to his plan.πήρα (pera)Shepherd's bag.“And he took his staff [τὴν ῥάβδον (ten rabdon)] in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook and put them in the shepherd's bag [εἰς τὴν πήραν τὴν ποιμενικήν (eis ten peran ten poimeniken)]…” (1 Samuel 17:40 LXX)David advances toward Goliath carrying two things: the rabdos (ῥάβδος) and the pera (πήρα). The rabdos is the shepherd's staff, the maqel (מַקֵל), a rod in the hand of one who tends flocks. The pera is the shepherd's satchel, the container of stones and the place of stored provision. One extends the arm; the other holds what sustains the strike. This is the only occurrence of pera (πήρα) in the Septuagint.The five stones evoke Torah, the Five Books. Their smoothness carries the root ח-ל-ק (ḥet-lamed-qof) / ح-ل-ق (ḥāʾ-lām-qāf). In Hebrew, ḥalaq is to divide, to apportion, to allot. In Arabic, ḥalaqa is to shave, to make smooth, to strip bare. These are not separate functions. To smooth a stone is to shape it by removal. To allot land is to cut it from the whole. The triliteral holds division and preparation together.The brook itself sharpens the resonance. Naḥal (נַחַל), from the root נ־ח־ל (nun-ḥet-lamed) / ن-ح-ل (nūn-ḥāʾ-lām), in Hebrew is a wadi, a seasonal stream. But the same consonants in both languages yield naḥalah (נַחֲלָה), naḥala (نَحَلَ) / niḥla (نِحْلَة) inheritance, endowment, gift, or allotted possession. Water and land converge in the root. David reaches into the stream and draws out inheritance. Surat al-Naḥl سورة النحل refers to “The Bee,” an animal associated with provision, honey, and divinely guided producti...

The story of David and Goliath reveals a deeper truth than just small defeating big. When David faced the giant Philistine warrior who was mocking God's people, he understood this wasn't his personal battle but God's battle. David's confidence came not from his own strength but from God's past faithfulness in protecting him from lions and bears. The real message is that we fight differently when we recognize whose battle we're fighting. Just as God sent David as Israel's champion, He sent Jesus as our ultimate champion to defeat sin and death, delivering us from the fear that keeps us in bondage.

Here on The LDS Mission Podcast, Episode 246 – Reclaiming Purpose, we talk about what to do when you feel like you've lost your purpose on the mission, after the mission, or even as a missionary mama. If you're currently serving and struggling with anxiety, rejection, comparison, or discouragement, or if you're a returned missionary feeling directionless and wondering what's next, this episode is for you. I share why purpose is not something assigned externally through a calling, leadership role, or title—but something you intentionally create. When life feels hard, when you're on the "struggle bus," or when your lower caveman brain tells you something has gone wrong, you are not broken. Highs and lows are part of the plan. In this episode, we explore how to reclaim purpose by shifting from "this is happening to me" to "this is happening for me." I teach how to reframe rejection, conflict with companions, anxiety, post-mission transition struggles, and unmet expectations into resilience, growth, compassion, and future leadership capacity. We talk about consecrating our afflictions for our gain (2 Nephi 2:2), giving meaning to difficult experiences, and choosing empowering purpose instead of victim energy. Through stories like David and Goliath, Romans 8:28, and real coaching examples, I show you how your struggles can become preparation—not proof that you're failing. You may not control what happens on your mission or after it, but you do get to choose the meaning you assign to it. Ask yourself: What is happening? What purpose am I currently giving it? What purpose would I like to give it instead? When you intentionally reclaim your purpose, even anxiety, rejection, loneliness, or transition seasons can become fuel for growth, momentum, and becoming more like Christ—because that is the ultimate work and glory. Episode 246 – Reclaiming Purpose reminds you that purpose isn't discovered… it's created. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

On this episode of the Mile High Podcast, you will hear a replay of a powerful presentation delivered by Dr. Richelle Knowles at Mile High Thirteen. During this talk, Dr. Richelle addressed a topic that many chiropractors feel yet rarely discuss openly: the importance of building a strong, financially sustainable practice to protect and advance the profession of Chiropractic. Chiropractic exists in a unique position within healthcare. The profession operates in what can only be described as a David and Goliath environment, where large pharmaceutical companies and major insurance systems dominate the healthcare landscape. Chiropractors succeed through clarity, service, and the strength of their community. That reality makes business leadership an essential responsibility for every chiropractor. In this episode, Dr. Richelle explains that running a successful practice cannot rely on chance, optimism, or hoping that patients will eventually find you. Long-term success requires systems, clear leadership, trained teams, and a commitment to knowing the numbers that guide the health of a practice. You will hear Dr. Richelle share insights, including: • Why many chiropractors unintentionally run their practices like a casino instead of a system • How strong financial foundations allow chiropractors to support their families, their communities, and the profession itself • Why predictable systems are more powerful than random marketing efforts • How leadership, team development, and clear communication create a stable practice environment • Why consistent actions over time produce the real "jackpot" in practice success This message is ultimately about responsibility. When chiropractors build thriving practices, they gain the ability to support schools, contribute to research, mentor the next generation, and bring Chiropractic care to more families around the world. In recognition of Women's History Month, this episode also celebrates the leadership and contributions of women in Chiropractic. From the earliest days of the profession to the present moment, women have played a vital role in shaping the philosophy, education, and future direction of Chiropractic. Dr. Richelle continues that legacy through her work with Network Family Wellness Center, Lifetime Wellness Practice, and her teaching around the world.

In 2019, a niche website focused on e-commerce made a passing reference to some minor legal trouble the head of eBay was in. Months of surveillance, harrassment, and death threats later, and the world knew not to mess with eBay. This is not so much of David vs. Goliath story. This is more the story of Goliath jumping David in a dark alley and David left wondering what the hell he did to piss off Goliath.

David had no sword. One stone. And total confidence in God. How? Because he understood something that changes everything: the battle was never his — it was the Lord's. Pastor Roderick Webster shows you what that means for the giant you're facing right now.In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Webster draws from 1 Samuel 17, Romans 13, and 2 Corinthians 6 (KJV) to complete the David and Goliath account and connect it to the armor God has already prepared for you:Why David ran toward Goliath instead of away — and what that tookHow David's victory was never about David — it was about showing God's greatnessWhat the armor of light is and why it works best in your darkest momentsHow putting on Christ covers what your flesh would otherwise exposeWhy taking the battle one step at a time is the key to walking in God's victory

Ash Patel & Amanda Cruise interviews Ryan Narus as he shares his journey from a middle-class upbringing and a $60,000 MBA to the founder of a multimillion-dollar mobile home park portfolio. He explains why traditional education and slow, safe growth often limit entrepreneurs and how living in a mobile home park, teaching himself Spanish, and doing what's uncomfortable can accelerate learning and grit. You'll discover the importance of trailblazing, the power of doing things no one else will, and why being David versus Goliath has its advantages in today's evolving real estate landscape. Most entrepreneurs are told to follow the conventional path, get that MBA, rent their own apartment, build a business step-by-step. But what if the secret to massive success is doing the opposite? Ryan Narus reveals how living in mobile home parks, learning skills the hard way, and taking unconventional risks propelled him from near zero to a thriving real estate empire and why this bold approach might be exactly what you need right now.

In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we wrap up our deconstruction/reconstruction mini-series with a question a lot of people ask: Which one is harder—deconstruction or reconstruction?We start with a little Nashville recap, then we get honest about what this journey actually feels like in real life. One of the biggest takeaways: the “harder vs. easier” question might not even be the right lens. The better questions are: What am I building now? What am I a part of? And is it beautiful?We talk about why reconstruction can feel heavier—because there's no blueprint, growth becomes less visible, freedom requires discernment, and you're often doing deep internal work that nobody can see. But we also talk about the hope on the other side: steadiness, less fear, more humility, more peace, and a clearer vision of a Jesus who gets bigger and brighter as you go.If you're in the middle space—unsure, rebuilding, or feeling alone—you're not crazy. You're not losing faith. You're being formed.In this episode:Deconstruction vs. reconstruction (and why it's not a simple comparison)Why reconstruction feels slower, heavier, and more internalThe “no blueprint” reality—and the challenge of freedomThe question that filters everything: Is it beautiful?What this season is forming in you (righteousness, peace, joy)Why safe people matter when you're rebuilding00:58 - Red Wings vs Predators jersey drama03:14 - Why Cory came in hot + wrapping the 26 Life mini-series04:49 - Big question: Which is harder—deconstruction or reconstruction?05:43 - Deconstruction as demolition (and the tension of “throw it all out”)06:33 - Deconstruction felt powerless, stuck, uncertain07:52 - Clarifying “powerful”: disruption vs the fallout of “now what?”08:12 - Cottage renovation analogy: nostalgia, attachment, and letting things go10:21 - Aha moments, permission, and finding language in deconstruction12:41 - Why reconstruction can feel heavier: nuance, layers, reconciliation14:30 - David & Goliath example: living without forced answers16:40 - Moving from “what's wrong?” to “what am I building now?”17:29 - The filter question: Is it beautiful?

Have you ever heard something about the Bible your whole life… only to find out it may not actually be what Scripture says? Friend, today’s episode is unlike anything we’ve ever done before. I’m joined by Amanda Hope Haley — a Harvard-trained biblical archaeologist (yes, you read that right!) — and our conversation will stretch your thinking in the very best way. Amanda shares how archaeology helps us understand Scripture more clearly, not less. We talk about David and Goliath (and why the “giant” might not be what you think), Mary Magdalene’s misunderstood reputation, and how years of human interpretation sometimes overshadow the actual text. But here’s the beautiful part: leaning into the hard questions doesn’t weaken faith — it strengthens it. This episode will challenge you, inspire you, and deepen your confidence in God’s Word.

The dust has settled on Q4 and full-year 2025, and the numbers tell a fascinating story about the future of how we buy, ship, and sell. From Amazon's record-breaking AWS growth to Walmart laying down the gauntlet, we are diving deep into the ripple effects these giants are creating across the entire ecosystem.In this episode, Rick Watson breaks down the split personalities of Meta, the agentic jump ball between Shopify and Stripe, and why UPS finds itself in an incredibly tight spot between Amazon and union contracts. Whether you're a David moving fast or a Goliath trying to transform, these are the trends you cannot afford to ignore.Inside the BriefingAmazon's AI & Grocery Bet: Online stores are a $278 billion business. While physical retail has struggled, Amazon is doubling down on Whole Foods with a 20% increase in store count. Meanwhile, they are pouring $200 billion into capital expenditure, primarily for data centers and chips to fuel their AI driver.The Walmart Juggernaut: Walmart is executing at an elite level, with 60% of stores now using automated freight and 50% of e-commerce shipments being automated. Their membership and ads business has scaled significantly, reaching one-third of Amazon's operating profit.The Shopify/Stripe Power Couple: Shopify saw a 30% revenue increase to $11.5 billion. Their B2B sector is a hidden gem, growing 96%. Notably, 64 cents of every dollar in Shopify's merchant services business goes to their partner, Stripe.Meta's $83 Billion Gamble: Meta's advertising business remains highly profitable with a 30% operating margin, but the Reality Labs division has lost $83 billion to date. Mark Zuckerberg is betting that smart glasses will be a cognitive necessity within five years.UPS & PayPal in Transition: UPS is facing a massive volume decline as Amazon moves a million parcels a day away from their network. PayPal is currently described as a ship without a rudder, with rumors circulating that the company—or its crown jewel, Venmo—could be headed for a sale.The biggest risk right now isn't being small; it's being a giant that cannot move.

Electricity underwrites nearly every aspect of modern life, yet decisions about power, cost, and control are increasingly opaque. New York Times energy correspondent Ivan Penn joins Mark Labberton to unpack how data centres, AI, utilities, and politics are reshaping the grid—and who ultimately bears the cost. "The real focus is who pays and who gets paid." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Penn reflects on his journey into journalism, his unexpected path into energy reporting, and how covering power revealed the economic forces shaping daily life. Together they discuss electricity as a moral and economic issue, the rise of AI-driven data centres, nuclear power's return, utilities versus tech giants, consumer vulnerability, racial inequity in journalism, and faith as a commitment to truth. –––––––––––––––– Episode Highlights "The real focus is who pays and who gets paid." "Electricity is the most important resource we have." "The utilities once the Goliath have suddenly become a David." "We wouldn't have need for any of this if you didn't build a data centre." "To be able to stop abuse with a pen is a powerful thing." –––––––––––––––– About Ivan Penn Ivan Penn is an energy correspondent for the New York Times, where he reports on electricity, utilities, nuclear power, data centres, and the economic forces shaping the energy transition. He has covered energy and utilities for more than fifteen years and has previously worked at the Los Angeles Times, Tampa Bay Times, Baltimore Sun, and Miami Herald. Penn's reporting has examined nuclear plant failures, grid reliability, climate pressures, and the growing influence of technology companies in energy markets. A longtime journalist shaped by investigative reporting, he is also attentive to issues of equity, public accountability, and consumer protection. Penn is a graduate of the University of Maryland and was the first black editor-in-chief of its student newspaper. He also holds a master's in global leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary and was a John S. Knight Fellow at Stanford University.

In this episode, Jennifer Barrett uncovers how the Hebrew language and the geography of the Valley of Elah intensify the drama of David and Goliath, revealing a national crisis that made God's deliverance shine even brighter.

Goliath was a monster. This man was a giant, a beast; the Devil's own proxy. But God had His own champion. He sent a shepherd from Bethlehem to crush the monster's head. Does that remind you of anybody else? In today's study of 1 Samuel 17, we'll see the Gospel in OT clothing. Questions That We'll Answer: A) In what ways was Goliath a proxy for the serpent? B) What other types or shadows are in this chapter? C) How do Gen. 3, Rev. 13, and 1 Samuel 17 connect? Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt

The sword David received after defeating Goliath symbolizes the triumph of God in your life. The same way David obtained it from the temple, you can also acquire your sword in God's Presence.Connect with us to receive more encouraging content!Website: https://www.manantialchurch.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/manantialchurchFacebook: https://facebook.com/manantialchurchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/manantialchurchInstagram Pepe Olivares: https://instagram.com/pastorpepeolivares

In this episode, we explore the legal and economic fallout of the Supreme Court's landmark decision to strike down the "Liberation Day" tariffs, a move that has left the administration scrambling for a "Plan B". We dive into the "David vs. Goliath" story of VOS Selections, the tiny wine importer that successfully challenged the President's use of emergency powers, and examine why the new 10% flat-rate replacement may actually provide a competitive boost to China and Brazil while penalizing America's closest allies. From the bizarre world of "National Security Cabinets" to the $175 billion refund headache currently being exploited by "vulture" investors, we break down how tweeting out tariffs met its match in the U.S. Constitution.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3eerLA0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derivatives For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corporate Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

Are modern states any different from the criminal enterprises of coercion that preceded them? Does democracy change the dynamic of societal collapse?
