In this episode, I sit down with fear itself. He breaks down the real intelligence behind his moves, the force that hijacks your biology, rewires your psychology, distorts your identity, and quietly shapes your entire life. Fear reveals how it disguises itself as intuition, uses your past against you, manipulates your nervous system, turns sensations into stories, and stops you at the very moments that could change everything. This is not motivation or comfort it's a psychological confrontation. If you've ever felt stuck, hesitant, overwhelmed, or controlled by invisible limits, this episode exposes the architecture of fear in a way you've never heard. Once you hear fear speak, you'll never see it the same again.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

Dunning–Kruger Effect This is the best-known term. It refers to a cognitive bias where people with low ability in a domain overestimate their competence, often because they lack the knowledge to recognize their own mistakes. It doesn't necessarily involve delusions, but it explains why someone might think they're much more skilled at decision-making than they really are. Illusion of Superiority (Optimism Bias) Sometimes called the “better-than-average effect.” People consistently rate their own decision-making, intelligence, or skills as above average, even when objective measures show otherwise. 3.Illusion of Superiority (Optimism Bias) Delusional Disorder / Grandiosity (Clinical Context) When the overestimation of ability moves beyond bias and into fixed false beliefs that resist contrary evidence, it becomes clinical. In psychiatry, this would be described as grandiose delusions, a symptom sometimes seen in bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. 4. Over coming -Overconfidence Bias (Decision Science / Finance) In economics and behavioral finance, “overconfidence bias” is the specific term for people placing too much faith in their own judgments, leading to poor decisions and risky behavior. hawthorne Effective - ✅ If you mean a psychological bias → Dunning–Kruger effect or overconfidence bias. ✅ If you mean a clinical, delusional state → grandiose delusion

In this episode, I break down one of the most important truths I've learned: winners analyze, losers guess. Most people fail because they think incorrectly. They react instead of observe, assume instead of verify, and make decisions based on emotion, insecurity, pressure, or illusion. Then they wonder why their life keeps repeating the same patterns. I talk about how I slow my mind down, collect real data, study patterns, and make decisions based on long-term value, not short-term relief. I show you how to separate emotion from truth, how to read people through consistency instead of words, why guessing destroys confidence, why clarity is a discipline, and why one honest decision can completely change the direction of your life.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

Understanding the Modern Customer Experience: A Guide for Aspiring Professionals 1.0 Introduction: The Great Customer Experience Divide In today's competitive market, the customer experience isn't just a part of the brand; it is the brand. Every interaction, from a first glance at a social media post to a final click on a purchase button, serves as a referendum on a company's value and trustworthiness. Get it right, and you build loyalty. Get it wrong, and customers will walk away without a second thought. 1.1 The Loyalty Illusion A significant conflict is brewing between how businesses perceive customer loyalty and how customers actually feel. This "loyalty illusion" creates a dangerous blind spot for executives who believe they are succeeding while their customer base is quietly eroding. Executive Belief Consumer Reality ~90% of executives believe customer loyalty has grown in recent years. Only 40% of consumers feel they have become more loyal to brands. This perception gap isn't just a difference of opinion; it's a direct threat to revenue. "About nine out of 10 [executives] say customer loyalty has grown in recent years, but only four in 10 consumers say the same." The business risks of this blind spot are clear: 52% of consumers have stopped buying from a brand due to a bad product or service experience, and 29% have abandoned a brand due to poor customer experience. To close this gap, companies must first understand the entire modern customer journey, which starts long before a customer ever visits a website or store. 2.0 The Customer Journey: From First Glance to Final Click 2.1 Redefining the Starting Line Customer loyalty no longer begins at a company's digital or physical front door. It's now seeded much earlier in what can be called the "experience supply chain"—the connected sequence of interactions that moves a person from curious to committed. This journey often starts in the realm of indirect influence. Key "indirect influence" touchpoints include: A friend's recommendation A discussion thread on Reddit A product review on an independent site While price remains the single most significant factor for 69% of consumers when making a purchase decision, mastering these early stages of discovery and influence is critical for building the long-term commitment that defines true loyalty. 2.2 What Brands Can Do To win customers in this new landscape, brands must adopt a more holistic and proactive approach to the customer journey. Analyze the Journey: Use data analytics and AI to forensically examine every step of the customer life cycle. This allows you to identify and fix points of friction before they drive potential customers away. Embrace New "Front Doors": Treat online comment threads, product comparison sites, and even AI-generated search results as strategic entry points to your brand. These platforms are where modern discovery happens. Ensure Consistency: Align every touchpoint—from social media chatter to post-purchase support—with a cohesive brand narrative. This consistency builds the trust necessary for a customer to move from awareness to action. Understanding the full customer journey is the first step. The next is understanding what customers truly expect from a brand during that journey. 3.0 Beyond the Basics: What Customers Truly Value 3.1 Table Stakes vs. True Delight In the modern marketplace, fundamentals like fair pricing and product quality are no longer differentiators. They are simply "table stakes"—the minimum cost of entry to compete. The real opportunity for brands lies in their ability to layer personalized, meaningful value on top of these basics to create moments of true delight. Factor Considered a Minimum Expectation (%) Considered a Bonus (%) Good value for price 77% 19% Product/service quality 76% 20% Transparent business practices 58% 35% Personalized experiences 17% 62% However, many companies are struggling to keep up. A staggering 70% of executives feel that customer expectations are evolving faster than their company can adapt. This widening gap creates a significant risk of eroding customer trust and losing business to more agile competitors. 3.2 The Generational Lens Customer expectations are not one-size-fits-all; they vary significantly across generations. A strategy that delights one demographic may alienate another. Brands must segment their approach to meet these diverse needs. Boomers: This group is generally less likely to be influenced by a brand's social media presence or its sustainability efforts. Millennials and Gen Z: In contrast, these younger consumers pay close attention to a brand's values, online activities, and social impact. Successfully meeting these varied and rapidly evolving expectations increasingly involves technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence. 4.0 The AI Paradox: A Tool for Help and Hindrance 4.1 High Ambition, High Anxiety Artificial Intelligence represents the new frontier in customer engagement, but its rapid adoption has created a central paradox. While companies are rushing to implement AI-driven solutions, many customers remain wary. A majority of consumers (58%) report being "only somewhat or not at all comfortable" using AI tools to engage with brands. This suggests that AI implementation is often driven more by a company's internal ambition for efficiency than by genuine customer demand, creating a gap between what brands offer and what customers actually want. 4.2 Finding the Right Balance Consumer acceptance of AI is highly nuanced and depends heavily on the specific task. More Likely to Use AI for: Simple, transactional tasks like tracking an order or delivery status (49%). Less Likely to Use AI for: Sensitive interactions like making a payment (29%). Crucially, despite the rise of automation, 86% of consumers still say that human interaction is moderately or very important to their brand experience. The key insight for aspiring professionals is that successful brands don't choose between AI and human support; they integrate them. They use AI for efficiency where it adds value but provide clear, fast paths to human support when empathy, nuance, and judgment are required. This balance between technology and humanity extends to the data that fuels these systems, bringing the issue of privacy to the forefront. 5.0 The Data Dilemma: Balancing Personalization and Privacy 5.1 The Trust Trigger Personalization presents another paradox for modern brands: customers want it, right up until the moment they don't. The desire for a smooth, tailored experience often conflicts with concerns over data privacy, creating a delicate balancing act for companies. "More than half of consumers (53%) think that it's worth it to share personal information if it makes their experience interacting with a brand smoother. But mishandle that data and 93% say that a brand will lose their trust." This dynamic means that every personalization strategy carries a built-in "trust trigger." Respecting data boundaries is no longer just about legal compliance; it has become a powerful competitive advantage. 5.2 What Brands Can Do To navigate this dilemma, brands should adopt a set of core principles that build trust while delivering value. Focus on low-intrusion data: Prioritize using information like stated preferences and past purchases to tailor experiences. This provides value without crossing sensitive privacy lines. Be transparent: Clearly communicate what data is being collected and why. When customers see an immediate and tangible benefit in return, they are more likely to trust the exchange. Empower the customer: Give customers a sense of control over their data. When personalization feels like a choice, it becomes a driver of loyalty, not a red flag. By internalizing these lessons, companies can reshape their approach to building lasting customer relationships. 6.0 Actionable Principles for a Modern Customer Experience To succeed in today's landscape, aspiring professionals should focus on a set of core principles that connect the entire customer journey, from discovery to long-term loyalty. Treat discovery like a make-or-break moment. A customer's journey starts long before they visit your website. Design every early touchpoint as a seamless, story-driven experience. Rebuild loyalty based on behavior, not fantasy. Reassess loyalty programs based on real customer actions and measurable business goals, not assumptions. Segment smarter and personalize with purpose. Move beyond generic demographics to target customers by generation, behavior, and emotional triggers to deliver true relevance. Pair AI with empathy and know when to hand off. Use AI to streamline simple tasks, but ensure a quick and easy path to human support when nuance and empathy matter most. Win the moments that matter or lose customers. Identify the high-stakes moments in the customer journey where loyalty can be instantly won or lost, and design solutions to win them decisively. Turn privacy into a competitive advantage. Build trust by being transparent, providing clear value, and giving customers control over their personal data. Measure what actually moves the needle. Go beyond traditional metrics to track the behavioral, emotional, and financial impact of your customer experience initiatives. These seven principles are the foundational building blocks for anyone seeking to create the exceptional and effective customer experiences that define modern brands.   Source:  https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/consulting/business-transformation/library/2025-customer-experience-survey.html

341: Der Skorpion bringt uns Menschen dahin, wo es ein bisschen wehtut. Das tut er nicht, um dich zu quälen, sondern um dich zu befreien. Dieser Neumond steht besonders für das Entfesseln einer neuen INNEREN FREIHEIT. Es geht darum, loszulassen, tiefzugehen und zu wachsen.

The Hard Truth About Being "The Helper" (And Why It's Keeping You Stuck) In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood patterns in relationships: codependency. If you've ever felt exhausted from being "the strong one," guilty when you prioritize yourself, or frustrated when someone doesn't take your advice, this conversation is for you. I break down how codependency masquerades as love but is actually a hidden form of control—and how the need to be needed keeps both you and the people you care about stuck. You'll learn to recognize the subtle daily patterns that signal codependency, from checking your phone for someone else's emotional weather to canceling your own plans when someone seems "off." Then, I walk you through the practice of detachment with love—caring deeply while releasing your grip on outcomes. This isn't about being cold or distant. It's about trusting that others have their own path, their own lessons, and their own capacity to grow. I share practical steps like setting real boundaries (yes, you can not respond to every text), tolerating discomfort, and offering support without attachment. Finally, we dive into personal responsibility and emotional independence. You'll discover how to build your own sense of meaning that doesn't depend on being needed, practice self-compassion with the same kindness you give others, and reclaim the energy you've been pouring into everyone else's lives.

In today's explosive episode, Tara and Lee break down the illusion behind the so-called “Epstein document release.” Despite congressional votes, history shows intelligence agencies—not elected officials—decide what gets exposed. From classified evidence hauled away in semitrucks to past failures like the COVID origins declassification, this episode explains why we're unlikely to see anything new. They dive into ongoing stonewalling on critical subpoenas tied to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, unravel bizarre decision-making within the Republican leadership, and examine deep political hypocrisy involving Epstein-linked Democrats. The conversation crescendos with a hard look at escalating violence tied to illegal immigration, cartel influence, and shifting U.S. demographics—warning of long-term political transformation if current trends go unchecked. A deeply sobering episode about control, corruption, and consequences.

When people think of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, they often picture tweedy Oxford professors and beloved fantasy authors. But their writing wasn't drawn only from their bucolic days teaching at Oxford and walking in the English countryside; it had a darker, deeper backdrop: the trenches of World War I and the cataclysm of World War II. Lewis and Tolkien weren't just fantasy writers — they were war veterans, cultural critics, and men with firsthand knowledge of evil, heroism, and sacrifice.In today's episode, I'm joined by Joseph Loconte, returning to the show to discuss his latest book, The War for Middle Earth. We explore how both world wars shaped the perspectives of Tolkien and Lewis, found their way into works like The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, and infused their literary masterpieces with moral weight, spiritual depth, and timeless themes of resistance, friendship, and redemption. We also talk about the legendary friendship between Tolkien and Lewis, the creation of the Inklings, and how the men demonstrated the countercultural power of imaginative storytelling.Resources Related to the PodcastRelated AoM podcasts:#178: The Inklings Mastermind Group#272: Lewis, Tolkien, and the Myth of Progress (Loconte's first appearance on the AoM podcast)#430: Why You Need to Join the Great Conversation About the Great Books#499: A Fascinating Primer on Norse Mythology #594: How Churchill (and London) Survived the Blitz of 1940#723: Men Without Chests#765: C.S.

In this episode, i breaks down one of the most uncomfortable truths people hate admitting: you're always selling yourself. In relationships, business, friendships, opportunities, everything is a value exchange. You don't get chosen because you “deserve it.” You get chosen because you present yourself, carry yourself, and deliver value in a way that people can't ignore. I exposes how people sabotage themselves with low standards, poor presentation, weak communication, and no awareness of the market they're operating in. I break down the psychology of attraction, opportunity, credibility, and why the world responds to the version of you that you show, not the one you fantasize about.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

Andrew, Kenzo, and Lay dive into the depths of the film Billy Budd and its powerful tension between illusion and reality. We explore how the film's co-writers debated whether it should be shot in black-and-white or color—and what that choice reveals about storytelling, perception, and truth. Together, we break down the psychological differences between black-and-white and color films, examining how each shapes emotion, expectation, and the illusions we experience on screen. Through real-world examples and everyday perceptual cues, we highlight how visual style alters the way we understand a story. Join us for a conversation filled with insight, creativity, and a deep appreciation of how art shapes the way we see the world.

In this episode, we delve into Peter Ustinov's adaptation of Billy Budd based on Herman Melville's novella and the critiques he received based on his choice to portray it in black and white. We try to make sense of why the use of black and white feels more "realistic" in films as such rather than the use of color. Does our background and culture affect the way we portray these colors or is it a natural reaction? Please join our conversation as we attempt to solve this mystery of reality and illusion.

What if everything you believe about who you are — your name, your past, your emotions, even your thoughts — is not actually you? In this powerful episode, Lisa A. Romano guides you beyond surface-level healing and into the core illusion that keeps so many of us trapped: the false self. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, Lisa reveals how trauma wires the brain to associate authenticity with danger, keeping us neurologically stuck in survival mode long after the threat is gone. When safety is wired to people-pleasing, fawning, or emotional shutdown, the real you gets buried beneath layers of programming. But through conscious awakening, and by breaking through veil after veil of illusion, you can remember who you truly are. In this episode, you'll discover: ✨ Why your brain resists emotional truth even when your soul craves freedom

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton unpack one of the most deceptive beliefs in first responder culture (Amazon Affiliate) — that the next promotion will make things better. Many responders chase advancement believing that more authority, a new title, or a higher paycheck will finally bring peace. But often, the opposite happens. The pressure grows, the politics intensify, and the burnout that once hid beneath the surface follows you straight into your new office. This episode explores the hidden psychological trap behind "The Promotion Illusion" and what it really takes to find fulfillment that rank alone can't provide.

We visited renowned architect Bernard Khoury in his studio in Karantina, who offered a critical, unvarnished look at the reality of practicing architecture in Lebanon, contrasting it with the sugarcoated story of the "Phoenix coming out of its ashes". He discusses his career beginnings, the 2020 Beirut port explosion, and how his first project—the infamous B018 nightclub—was a radically specific and necessary response to the city's complex, macabre history and unstable political and economic context. Khoury shares his philosophical approach to architecture, which rejects stylistic gestures in favor of an obsession with specificity and a direct confrontation with Beirut's explosive nature, arguing for a practice that produces honest, if sometimes "sour" meaning in the present rather than succumbing to toxic simplifications. 00:00 The Sourness and Complexity of Beirut01:23 Bernard Khoury's Karantina Studio and the Beirut Explosion03:12 His First Project: B018 in Karantina04:01 The Illusion and Disillusion of the Post-War Era05:42 An Architect's Dilemma: Designing for an Expiry Date12:56 Solidere, Immaterial Ownership, and a New Urbanism15:44 The Cultural Significance of B01817:05 B018's Site: A Macabre History19:40 From Furniture Factory to Architecture Practice22:52 Khalil Khouri: Modern Architect with Certainties27:23 A Generational Difference in Practice28:57 Rejected Labels: What Bernard Khoury Hates to Be Called...31:41 Style vs. Specificity 36:00 Estrangement and Addiction to a Very Intense Environment42:00 Bernard Khoury's Criticism of Solidere's Historical Narrative Born in Beirut (1968), Bernard Khoury studied architecture at the Rhode Island school of Design (BFA 1990 / B.Arch 1991) and Harvard University (M.Arch 1993). He was awarded by the municipality of Rome, the Borromini Prize honorable mention given to architects under 40 years of age (2001), the Architecture + Award (2004), the CNBC Award (2008) and nominated for several awards including the Aga Khan award (2002 / 2004/ 2021), the Chernikov prize (2010) and the Mies van der Rohe Award (2021). He co-founded the Arab Center for Architecture (2008), was a visiting professor in several universities including the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and L'Ecole Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris. He has lectured and exhibited his work in over 150 institutions, including solo shows at the Aedes gallery in Berlin (2003), the Spazio per l'architecttura Milano (2016) and numerous group shows including YOU prison at the Fondazione Sandretto in Torino (2008), the opening show of the MAXXI museum in Roma (2010), the Frac Architecture Biennale in Orleans (2018), the Oris House of Architecture in Zagreb (2020) and the Architecture Biennale of Seoul (2021). He was the architect and co-curator of the Kingdom of Bahrain's national pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2014). Over the years he has developed an international reputation and a diverse portfolio of projects in over fifteen countries.

The first collection of essays from the author of the Life and Death of Psychoanalysis, Stay, Illusion! with Simon Critchley and Conversion Disorder, Disorganisation & Sex (Divided Publishing, 2022) is as much about our resistance to sexuality as it is about sex itself. Jamieson Webster continues to excite and disturb, turning to Lacan and the autotheoretical in her exploration of the deep roots of our libidinal ties and the ways in which we keep desire at bay in our efforts to lead tidier, more coherent lives. Part theory, part manifesto and part testimony, Webster calls for us as analysts to reinvent ourselves with our patients, as patients to take part in the poetry of our symptoms, and as institutions to create the conditions for something radical to happen in the transmission of psychoanalysis. While many in theory have turned toward the soma and the exterior, Webster has not given up on psychic interiority, her writing an attempt to avoid the trap of idealizing one while diminishing the other, or getting stuck in the reversal. We can wish for the new while remaining skeptical of the march of progress, and we can speak from the discourse of the patient while remaining connected to the discourse of the analyst. We can take risks even as we face loss, and seek pleasure even though there's no common satisfaction. Cassandra B.

« Au terme d'une longue nuit, relève Afrik.com, l'Assemblée nationale béninoise a adopté, samedi matin à l'aube, une vaste révision constitutionnelle. Le texte instaure un Sénat et allonge les mandats du président de la République, des députés et des maires de 5 à 7 ans. » Précision importante, pointe La Nation à Cotonou, « cette réforme au niveau des mandats électifs prend effet à partir des élections générales de l'année prochaine. Ce qui veut dire que la (nouvelle) loi constitutionnelle ne concerne pas le mandat actuel du président de la République, Patrice Talon qui passera le témoin en mai prochain ». Pourquoi cette révision ? D'après la mouvance présidentielle, relève le site d'information Banouto, « ce nouveau texte vise à renforcer la stabilité, la transparence et l'efficacité des institutions et la vitalité démocratique du Bénin ». L'opposition bâillonnée ? Alors, « la question pressante, estime pour sa part La Nouvelle Tribune, toujours à Cotonou, est de savoir si le Bénin, fort de ce nouveau cadre constitutionnel, peut désormais engager une trajectoire de développement plus sereine et plus rapide. Les arguments avancés en faveur de cette modification visent principalement à éliminer ce qui est perçu comme des freins structurels au progrès national, pointe le quotidien béninois. La classe dirigeante pointe souvent du doigt les cycles électoraux polarisés et les crises politiques récurrentes, les décrivant comme des sources de distraction et d'instabilité, empêchant la pleine concentration sur les politiques de développement économique et social. L'un des objectifs affichés est d'instaurer une sorte de trêve politique en apaisant le jeu électoral et institutionnel. (…) Cependant, la lecture de la classe politique et de la Société civile est loin d'être unanime, tempère La Nouvelle Tribune. Pour certains observateurs, (au contraire) l'adoption de cette loi modificative est un processus qui pourrait exacerber les fractures politiques et conduire à la non-participation d'une partie importante de l'opposition aux différents rendez-vous électoraux. » Déjà, note Aujourd'hui, le principal parti d'opposition, les Démocrates, a été écarté des élections locales et de l'élection présidentielle : « à l'évidence, affirme le site burkinabé, le président Patrice Talon, qui ne briguera (donc) pas un 3e mandat, est en train de modeler le paysage politique et institutionnel avant son départ du palais de la Marina. Il a ouvert un large boulevard pour son dauphin, Romuald Wadagni, lequel sans un challenger de poids, en l'occurrence celui des Démocrates, écarté pour cause de parrainage, est à 50 % déjà vainqueur de la présidentielle d'avril prochain. » Une « manœuvre savamment orchestrée » ? Le Pays, toujours au Burkina, revient sur cette réforme constitutionnelle : certes, elle « est présentée par ses promoteurs comme un instrument de paix, une architecture d'unité nationale et un rempart contre l'instabilité. Pourtant, derrière cet argumentaire officiel particulièrement séduisant, pourrait se dissimuler une opération politique minutieusement calibrée, affirme le quotidien ouagalais, destinée à consolider le système mis en place par l'actuel président Patrice Talon, à neutraliser une opposition déjà affaiblie et à protéger l'élite dirigeante contre d'éventuelles poursuites judiciaires. Sinon, s'interroge le journal, pourquoi ne pas avoir engagé cette réforme plus tôt, si son ambition réelle était de renforcer la démocratie béninoise ? Pourquoi intervient-elle précisément à la fin du mandat du président en exercice ? Ce timing, loin d'être anodin, nourrit l'hypothèse d'une manœuvre savamment orchestrée ». Le Pays cite notamment l'allongement des mandats électifs à sept ans, qui constitue, d'après lui, « un point majeur de crispation. Car, il réduit davantage encore l'espace du pluralisme politique. (…) Ce passage du quinquennat au septennat réduira, en effet, la fréquence des élections, verrouillera durablement le jeu politique et condamnera une opposition déjà fragmentée, à une longue traversée du désert… » Illusion démocratique ? Autre point qui pose problème, selon Ledjely en Guinée : la création d'un Sénat : « car un élément interpelle, pointe le site guinéen : aucun futur sénateur ne sera élu. Tous seront membres de droit ou désignés. Et détail ultime : parmi les membres de droit figureront… les anciens présidents. Évidemment, diront certains. Beaucoup y voient un point de chute soigneusement aménagé par le président Patrice Talon lui-même. » Globalement, relève encore Ledjely, sous la présidence Talon, « le Bénin avait semblé incarner l'un des rares îlots d'espérance. En particulier, la confirmation par Patrice Talon qu'il ne briguerait pas un troisième mandat avait séduit. Au point que, dans le sillage des lauriers qui lui étaient tressés, on avait soudain oublié le sort des détenus politiques, dont Reckya Madougou (emprisonnée depuis plus de quatre ans). Mais peut-être avons-nous célébré trop tôt le chef de l'État béninois, soupire Ledjely. Entre l'absence de fait de l'opposition à la prochaine présidentielle et les récentes modifications constitutionnelles aux objectifs suspects, la victoire démocratique que l'on croyait entrevoir paraît bien illusoire ».

Whether mechanical or digital, a button delivers the promise of power — but it's far from simple. The small and mighty technology has a riveting history, a story of control, power, freedom and oppression. From the podcast Media Objects, this episode traces the evolution of the button, and asks what happens when every command is reduced to a single press.

In this episode, I break down John C. Maxwell's 5 Levels of Leadership and expose the truth behind why so many people stay stuck at the bottom. Leadership isn't a title — it's a standard. It's earned through trust, results, and the courage to develop others, not through ego and position. I walk you through each level, from the lowest form of leadership where people only follow you because they have to… all the way to the pinnacle, where people follow you because of who you are, what you represent, and the legacy you've built. This episode is about understanding what real influence looks like, what destroys it, and what it takes to become a leader who builds leaders.

50-year mortgages could be coming sooner than we expected. This week, President Trump announced on social media the possibility of longer mortgage terms hitting the housing market. Extending the standard 30-year fixed-rate mortgage to 50 years will have massive implications for home prices, affordability, and cash flow for rental property investors. The question is: Will it actually happen? And if it does, how would these new mortgage rules affect your returns on real estate? We did the math, comparing a 30-year mortgage vs. a 50-year mortgage to see which gives you bigger (total) returns and builds your wealth faster. The cash flow differences are notable and could mark significant improvements for landlords, but one drawback could be so great that investors turn away from this new mortgage entirely.  Dave gives the pros and cons, shares what housing market experts are concerned about, and answers the question: Would he use a 50-year mortgage if given the option?

"Harbaugh Brothers, Belicheat -Nick Satan and "Mike Holgrin , Andy Reid -Gruden mafia" Harbaugh did not explain to the starting quarterback. The revamped real Ravens defense is crucial. He still thinks he can win ass division. The Steelers and the were pathetic. I needed to make that adjustment. Shame on me. 2. Dunning–Kruger Effect - This is the best-known term. - It refers to a cognitive bias where people with low ability in a domain overestimate their competence, often because they lack the knowledge to recognize their own mistakes. - It doesn't necessarily involve delusions, but it explains why someone might think they're much more skilled at decision-making than they really are. 3. Illusion of Superiority (Optimism Bias) - Sometimes called the “better-than-average effect.” - People consistently rate their own decision-making, intelligence, or skills as above average, even when objective measures show otherwise. 4. 3.Illusion of Superiority (Optimism Bias) 5. Delusional Disorder / Grandiosity (Clinical Context) - When the overestimation of ability moves beyond bias and into fixed false beliefs that resist contrary evidence, it becomes clinical. - In psychiatry, this would be described as grandiose delusions, a symptom sometimes seen in bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. 6. 4. 7.

IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!! We've officially entered the darkness, the government is still shut down, Zohran Mamdani is apparently the mayor of New York now and people are pissed, Kris Jenner's 70th birthday at Jeff Bezos house happened, I quit my GLP-1 and gained ten pounds in a month. So yes, we have updates.I talk tips on navigating daylight saving depression, the emotional spiral of being a married woman with a home, dogs, a chaotic workload, and a full creative career.. and why I've been crying and crashing out about it all fall! The responsibility era is real. But the heart of today's episode is a deep dive into the viral Vogue opinion piece “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?" by Chanté Joseph.Instead of staying at surface level (“be your own woman,” etc.), I zoom out and talk about the psychology of performance, the illusion of image control, and why my generation is obsessed with managing how relationships look rather than how they feel. Why are we so terrified of being perceived the wrong way to strangers? Why are we so invested in controlling the narrative around our lives? What are we trying to protect ourselves from?It's cultural commentary, psychology, holiday dread, post quitting Glp-1 updates, couples humor, and the slow, dark descent into seasonal chaos.. and JOY! All in one place.

Valuations for many stocks in the S&P 500 are at sky high levels, and for many of these companies, the math on the growth projections simply doesn't add up, which historically has been catastrophic for investors when the music stops playing.

In this riveting Breaking History, Matt Ehret joins Ghost for an expansive conversation that stretches from theology to geopolitics. Speaking from Sochi, Matt shares his experience premiering his Arctic development documentary at a Russian film festival before diving with Ghost into topics of faith, morality, and manipulation. They explore the true meaning of ecumenism, how it's been twisted into a one-world religion, and how the oligarchy weaponizes division and ideology. The discussion then turns to the fake dialectics of the 20th century, Hitler's role as a globalist agent, the theosophical roots of fascism and communism, and the ongoing infiltration of modern movements. From Nick Fuentes' Hitler rehabilitation campaign to Trump's orchestration of chaos within MAGA, the hosts unravel how psychological operations and historical deception shape the modern world. They end with sharp analysis of Trump's meeting with an alleged Al-Qaeda figure, NATO's collapse, and the coming realignment of global power. Deep, dangerous, and undeniably fascinating, this episode connects past deception to present revelation.

In this mind-expanding conversation with personal empowerment mentor and shamanic dreaming arts teacher Joel Schafer, we dive deep into the Toltec wisdom that redefines what it means to awaken and reclaim our power in a world full of distraction and distortion. Joel shares how ancient shamanic practices, rooted in not doing, recapitulation, and dreaming arts, help us recover the energy and attention lost to modern chaos. We explore how slowing down time, grounding in nature, and dissolving self-importance open portals to heightened perception, intuitive awareness, and true freedom.Joel also sheds light on how unseen forces manipulate our attention through fear and drama, and how to become “unpalatable” to energetic harvesting by mastering presence and sovereignty. We unpack his experiences with cult dynamics, shadow teachers, and the seduction of power—lessons that reveal how even spiritual seekers can lose their way without self-honesty and humor.From lucid dreaming and parallel lives to the pitfalls of false enlightenment, Joel offers a grounded yet mystical roadmap for living impeccably—one rooted in trust, silence, and direct experience rather than ideology. If you've ever wondered how to truly unbind from the collective trance and remember who you are beneath the programming, this episode will leave you rethinking time, power, and the very nature of reality itself.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

In this episode, I break down the psychology of relentless problem solving.

I break down the mindset of testing, learning, adjusting, and pressing forward without excuse, without emotion, and without hesitation. I show you why most people stay stuck, why they wait for perfect answers that never arrive, and how the winners of life build solution stamina — the ability to stay in the problem long enough for the truth to reveal itself.

In this solo episode of Breakaway Wealth, Jim Oliver dismantles one of the biggest lies in finance: that income equals wealth. He shares hard-earned lessons from his early career in financial planning, where assets measured success under management—not freedom. Jim reveals how even six-, seven-, and eight-figure earners often remain financially enslaved. If your wealth disappears when your income stops, you don't own your wealth; you lease it. Jim explains how to reclaim ownership by shifting your focus from income to control, and how he applies this mindset in building companies, creating equity for others, and multiplying freedom. What You'll Learn The Big Lie: Why "making more money" doesn't make you free. Control Over Income: How to stop leasing your wealth and start owning it. The Paycheck Trap: Your paycheck isn't your ticket to success, or freedom. Freedom Through Ownership: How to structure your business so you—and your team—win. The Wealth Game Plan: How to design assets that serve your life, not consume it. Action Steps 1. Audit Your Wealth Ask: If my income stopped today, what part of my wealth would still work for me? 2. Redefine Your Scoreboard Measure success by control and freedom, not income or net worth. 3. Build Equity for Others Give your team ownership opportunities—shared growth creates shared freedom. Jim's Powerful Word "Freedom isn't about how much you make—it's about how much you own and control. If your wealth disappears when your income stops, you don't have wealth. You have a job with a logo."
