Brian From is fresh off a monumental weekend — his oldest daughter Madeline's college graduation at Hope College in Holland, Michigan — and the joy of that milestone runs through this whole hour. But the reflections go deeper than cap and gown. The chaplain's baccalaureate message on 2 Corinthians 2 leaves Brian with a simple, searching question: when people are in your presence, do they get a whiff of Christ? Then, a throwaway line from Nike's new CEO — "we struggle when we forget who we are serving" — turns into a pointed word for the church and for anyone whose life has quietly drifted toward self. Plus: a Wall Street Journal piece on the rise of the "beta mom" and why the pendulum may have swung too far, new survey data suggesting peak life satisfaction hits at age 52 (good news for Brian at 49), a Gospel Coalition piece on the most alarming political divide in Gen Z — and it's not Democrat vs. Republican — and a closing devotion from Charles Stanley on what it actually means to be aware of God's presence in your daily life, not just on Sundays.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Leader's Journey Podcast, Trisha Taylor welcomes Megan Mills for a thoughtful and practical conversation about improvisation and its surprising relevance to leadership and everyday life.

Her early years in NYC were spent in stage management and personal assistant roles as well as performing, creating, teaching and directing improvisational theatre.

How can we build a sense of hope when the future feels uncertain? Poet Tomás Morín tries a writing practice to make him feel more hopeful and motivated to work toward his goals.Summary: Can writing about your hopes make you feel more optimistic? In this episode, poet Tomás Morin tries a hope-focused writing practice developed by psychologist Charlotte Van-Oyen Witvliet. Backed by research, the practice helps people feel more hopeful, motivated, and grounded in gratitude, even in the face of uncertainty.How To Do This Practice:  Write about something you deeply hope will happen, but can't fully control. Reflect on how important this hope is to you and how motivated you are to pursue it.  Recall a past hope that once felt uncertain but eventually came true. Write about what you're grateful for from that experience, including who helped and what you learned. Connect what you learned then to what you're hoping for now. End by naming one small action you can take today toward your current hope.

Key Takeaways: U.S. Maritime Modernization: Policy Driven Changes in Ocean Shipping In “U.S. Maritime Modernization: Policy Driven Changes in Ocean Shipping”, Joe Lynch and Lauren M. Beagen, the Founder of Squall Strategies and The Maritime Professor, discuss the following:  OSRA 2022: Better Rules for Shippers: The Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 gave the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) more power to stop unfair charges from ocean carriers, especially for detention and demurrage. It's all about protecting shippers and making things fairer. "Decoupling" from China? It's Complicated: The idea of moving away from China for manufacturing isn't a simple "breakup." It's more about smart diversification, spreading out where we get things to lower risks, rather than cutting ties completely. Bringing Production Closer to Home: There's a big push to move manufacturing back to the US or to friendly countries nearby. This means building new factories, finding workers, and using government help to create stronger, more local supply chains. Maritime Law: The Unsung Hero: Don't underestimate maritime law! The rules for shipping by sea are super important for how goods move around the world. They keep things fair and stable in global trade. FMC's Growing Role in Today's Market: The FMC isn't just about old rules anymore. It's actively watching and reacting to supply chain problems, making sure US interests are protected and competition stays fair in ocean shipping. Diversify, Don't Just Ditch: Instead of pulling out of existing supply chains entirely, companies are focusing on diversifying. This means finding multiple places to source from, making supply networks more resilient against unexpected issues. Politics Meets Business: What It Means for You: Big political goals, like bringing jobs back or reducing reliance on certain countries, directly impact how businesses operate in transportation, logistics, and supply chain. Understanding this connection is key to staying ahead.

From a very early age you were likely told not to lie. Lying is bad. And it seems that one of the things it is bad for is your health! This episode begins by explaining how lying affects your health – and not in a good way. https://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/32424-study-telling-fewer-lies-linked-to-better-health-relationships The idea of marrying someone for love is a relatively recent concept when you look back through human history. Today, it is often the primary reason for marriage. Yet if you look at the divorce statistics, love may not be the magic ingredient to long term relationships. While we are not likely to go back to arranged marriages, there may be something we can learn from them, says psychiatrist George Blair-West author of the book How to Make the Biggest Decision of Your Life (https://amzn.to/3gQPTyD). Listen as he explains what really works in keeping a relationship together – and it isn't romantic love.  The human mind works in odd ways. For one thing, we tend to be overconfident in our abilities. We often think other people are having more fun than we are. We also tend to like things simply because they remind us of us – like the letters in your name or the numbers in your birthday! Here to explain all this is David G. Myers. He is a social psychologist and professor of psychology at Hope College and author of a book How Do We Know Ourselves?: Curiosities and Marvels of the Human Mind (https://amzn.to/3fqyP1Z). Every good cook knows you should NEVER wash or rinse mushrooms, you should brush them. That is because mudrooms soak up water like a sponge and that ruins them. But what if that isn't really true? Listen as I explain. Source: Harold McGee author of On Food and Cooking (https://amzn.to/3UeclA2). PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
