Podcasts about Impossible

It was for Moses to move forward—trusting the Lord and not himself—for the impossible that God, in His sovereignty, placed before him to walk through. By faith in Christ, the same is to be true of you and me as we move into 2026. Join Kelly as he looks at Exodus 3.www.instagram.com/thehishillpodcast/www.hishill.orgkelly@hishill.org

In this engaging Ask Away episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe fields practical and profound questions from participants:Swearing on a non-Jewish Bible in court: In the U.S., one can "affirm" (not swear) under penalty of perjury, avoiding oaths prohibited by Torah; bringing a Chumash is ideal but not required.Cohen status: Transmitted only patrilineally; a Cohen father's daughter does not pass Cohen status to her son.Yom Kippur and Rosh Chodesh coinciding: Impossible, as Yom Kippur is fixed on 10 Tishrei while Rosh Hashanah (1 Tishrei) is always Rosh Chodesh (but overrides it as a greater celebration).Asking Hashem for specific signs: Perfectly permissible and powerful—Hashem responds to sincere, simple requests.Eating in a kosher-keeping but non-Shabbat-observant home: Delicate; Shabbat observance generally indicates reliability in other areas, but during growth transitions, caution is advised to avoid offense.Visualizing during prayer: Avoid images (risking idolatry roots); focus on standing alone under the heavens before Hashem's throne, or the personal intensity of addressing the King of Kings directly.The episode blends halachic precision with inspirational stories, emphasizing prayer as intimate conversation with Hashem, sensitivity in relationships, and viewing challenges as opportunities for growth.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #80) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Mother Miriam Live - December 30th, 2025 Mother reads a Christmas Day homily from Saint Augustine. Mother responds to a YouTube comment discussing the Catholic Chruch's view on salvation as well as an email from a struggling mother.  

What if restoring impossible relationships just required knowing what's on the other side? In this episode, Greg Stephens shares how 24 years as a master trainer for Crucial Conversations taught him that breakthroughs aren't permanent until they're practiced over and over. That realization led him to shift from training to coaching, creating a six-month program where executives and emerging leaders have conversations they never thought possible. His specialty? Seeing relationships like some people see music, orchestrating conversations where people show up as their best. Greg also reveals why his mentor Bill Solomon intentionally made his welding job miserable before college, teaching him the resilience he'd need to push through Baylor surrounded by wealthy students. Most powerfully, he explains "emotional accounting": why putting off a Friday conversation until Monday doesn't just ruin your weekend, it costs you exponentially more on the back end.   [00:04:44] What Alignment Resources Does Company goal: everyone eats at the trough (trainers train, coaches coach, sales people sell, speakers speak) Greg's specialty lives in areas of difficult relationships, everyone has at least one Works with relationships that seem impossible Application of Crucial Conversations tools for talking when stakes are high [00:05:40] Twenty-Four Years Teaching Crucial Conversations Was master trainer in Crucial Conversations, taught it for 24 years starting in 2001 Before the book was written, it was called "Path to Dialogue" then "Dialogue Smarts" One of first master trainers, stayed until January this year when he released his book Got to travel the world, train on stage, do keynote talks [00:06:00] Why Breakthroughs Need Practice People would take class, have great experience, have aha breakthrough moments Found that breakthroughs aren't permanent until they're practiced over and over If you want permanence around a breakthrough, you've gotta go do something That piece was lacking, so decided to shift business to coaching [00:06:20] The Six Month Coaching Program About six month program, 20 different weeks Teaching executives and emerging leaders (ages 21-28) Wanted to teach younger generation what executives said "I wish I'd learned this 20, 30 years ago" Most people say "I've had a coach before, this is nothing like it" [00:07:00] Building Up and Completing Relationships Build people up in relationships, let them go back and improve, clean up, or complete relationships Complete doesn't mean never see person again (could, but doesn't have to) Can work next to person and have completed relationship around an issue It just doesn't show up for you anymore because you know where you stand, said what you need to say [00:07:40] The Skills Most People Don't Have Coaches and mentors say "you need to go have this conversation," but how? There are skill sets you need, the application of them, and how to make adjustments People talk about psychological safety but don't know how to create it What to do when your emotions take hold or other person's emotions take hold [00:08:20] How to Really Listen When You Disagree How do you begin to really listen when you disagree with everything being said? How do you get on the right topic? Most people don't know how to dissect and break down conversations Greg helps dissect it and break it down for people [00:08:40] Executives on Retainer Some executives don't want to learn all skill sets, just want someone to do it for them Working with groups on retainer where they call when they have big problem They lay out background, what they've done, then Greg lays out plan for conversation Role plays exactly what might happen, clients say "it was like you were right there" [00:10:00] When People Don't Show Up as Their Best Sometimes people have breakdown, don't show up as their best, come back saying "I really blew it" Great learning point, it needed to be this way Limiting belief: thinking it's over when conversation goes badly When you know these skills, you can go back over and over and reset [00:11:20] What Drives Greg Most Watching people restore relationships they thought were just not possible Worked with police captains on issue, individual conversations showed no one thought it could be done Scheduled for four sessions, had breakthrough after first session One person took responsibility for their part, allowed everyone else to take responsibility [00:13:00] It's Still Hard Even With Skills People say "you have the skill, you should be able to do it" Greg still doesn't like having difficult conversations Doesn't want to have the conversation, but wants what's on the other side "Stop looking at the conversation right now. Let's look at what you want beyond that." [00:14:00] Work is Easy, Personal is Hard When working with businesses, always eventually get to their personal lives Those are the much more difficult conversations Work is easy, we all want to make more money and enjoy work Hardest ones are family businesses with so much emotion and unspoken hierarchy [00:16:00] Bill Solomon Changed Everything Gentleman who wrote forward to Greg's book, had heart transplant before writing it Bill told Greg "I'm so glad you asked me to write the forward because I couldn't stop writing" Two months later Bill had book of his own called "Losing Control" (in his seventies) Was the person who pointed Greg toward something more in his life [00:17:20] The Welding Job That Taught Resilience Bill gave Greg job before college as welder's helper (Bill was CFO of company) Told the guys "You're gonna like this guy I'm bringing in, but treat him like crap" "Tear him down every day. Make him feel stupid. You're gonna begin to like him. Make it hard on him." Never told Greg this was happening [00:18:20] Breaking the Golden Handcuffs Wouldn't have business today without Bill Solomon Getting through Baylor, getting great job, then getting out of job and breaking golden handcuffs Starting own business in 1999, none of that would've happened Bill took interest, made it difficult on purpose, said "you're gonna be a great leader one day" [00:21:40] Greg Reynolds Called Every Day After Greg's divorce, Greg Reynolds called him every day for three months All he said was "How you doing today? How you doing today?" One of hardest times Greg ever went through Showed Greg the power of that, he's done same thing for friend of his [00:22:20] Taking Interest in People If you really want to take interest in a person, find out what they're doing every day Every one of these gentlemen shaped how Greg mentors others Having conversations he never would've had, saying what he never would've said Taking interest like Bill Solomon did, being there like his coaches [00:24:40] "What Do You Want to Do?" Woman was looking at situation from the past when she didn't have skills Now she does have skills "Question isn't what they want or what I want to do. It's what do you want to do?" She got quiet: "I want to have the conversation." [00:25:00] Over 20 Resets to Stay on Track They practiced again, she went and had conversation Wrote amazing email about how each time she had to stop herself and come back Get conversation back on track by sharing your best intent Had to do that more than 20 times [00:28:20] Investing Upfront vs. Costing on Back End If you add skillset and knew how to address it, you'd say "I'm not wasting my weekend" Have conversation, no matter what outcome, it's out of you Have entire weekend to problem solve whatever that was and learn about what you did Used time wisely by investing upfront rather than it costing you on back end [00:31:40] Marcus Newcomb Connection Marcus Newcomb is special person, they hit it off Greg has gotten to meet so many great people networking and marketing his book Kevin is "the real deal"   KEY QUOTES "Breakthroughs aren't permanent until they're practiced over and over. So if you want permanence around a breakthrough, you've gotta go do something." - Greg Stephens "If you really want to take interest in a person, find out what they're doing every day." - Greg Stephens "My life is built on the shoulders of all my friends and people in my life that have shown me so much." - Greg Stephens CONNECT WITH GREG STEPHENS

La CAN au Maroc, c'est aussi un grand rassemblement de supporters d'Afrique et du monde. Les diasporas sont au rendez-vous. À titre d'exemple, près de 110 000 billets avaient été achetés depuis la France après la deuxième phase de mise en vente fin octobre. Ce sont les avantages d'une compétition organisée cette année en période de congés, dans une destination touristique abordable et déjà prisée en Europe. Le chœur des Comores, en plein cœur de Casa. Sur le terrain du stade Mohammed V, les Cœlacanthes peinent face à la Zambie. En tribune, le match est gagné largement. « La diaspora est motivée, déterminée. Moi, je suis prêt à aller au Vélodrome de Paris, donc à aller au Maroc pour ma patrie. Franchement, j'y vais tous les jours », explique Laris, un supporter marseillais.   À l'entraînement, aussi, Laris et sa bande poussent derrière l'équipe nationale. Ils sont venus de Paris, de Marseille, de Brest. Impossible pour eux de ne pas être là. « Une fois qu'on a su qu'on était qualifiés et que c'était au Maroc, à proximité, on a décidé de mettre les moyens. On a pris un Airbnb comme n'importe qui, on est très simple, voire très très simple. On reste pour les phases de poule, donc c'est dix jours. On est dix personnes, donc cela fait deux cents euros par tête. Le billet d'avion, en fonction de quand il a été pris, c'est entre deux cents et cinq cents euros. On en a pour huit cents, mille euros, grand maximum », raconte Laris. Et en plus, ce début de CAN colle sur les congés de fin d'année. Résultat, le Maroc est un vrai carrefour des diasporas africaines.  « On a l'habitude de se chamailler, de se charrier quand on est en France. Là, on peut le faire dans un pays où on se rejoint tous. Il y a des Maliens, des Sénégalais, des Burkinabè, des Algériens, c'est comme si on était en France un peu », affirme-t-il.  À lire aussiÀ la Une: la CAN, un instrument de soft power pour le Maroc Des supporters de l'Algérie, dans un train en partance de Kénitra, racontent : « On vient de Lyon et ça serait bien plus compliqué d'aller en Afrique du Sud. Ça serait plus compliqué de s'intégrer à la ville et au pays. Le train, c'est la même chose qu'en France. Il y a des TER, des TGV. C'est exactement la même chose. On va voir trois matchs du Maroc, trois matchs de l'Algérie, un match du Sénégal et un match de la Tunisie. Ça fait un total de huit matchs. On est venus pour du football. » Certains viennent aussi en famille pour profiter de l'ambiance et du pays, comme Bourama, un Sénégalais de région parisienne. « Moi, c'est la première fois que j'amène mes enfants au Maroc. La photo avec la mascotte, je vais la garder en souvenir. C'est quelque chose de très marquant. On va garder chaque souvenir, comme la photo qu'on a prise aujourd'hui, elle va rester dans notre mémoire collective à jamais », assure Bourama. Et puis, il y a des visiteurs, plus inattendus, comme Zach et Alex. Ils viennent de Leeds en Angleterre, deux fans de football sans attache particulière avec l'Afrique. « C'est une super occasion pour découvrir ce tournoi. On peut voir cinq matchs internationaux pour le même prix qu'une rencontre de Premier League », dit l'un. « On s'amuse beaucoup. On a vu RDC - Bénin hier, aujourd'hui Guinée équatoriale - Burkina Faso. C'est une ambiance de fête. Pour moi, le football, c'est d'abord un sport qui rassemble. Et la CAN nous permet de découvrir différentes communautés de ce continent fantastique qu'est l'Afrique », ajoute l'autre. Selon des estimations relayées par les médias nationaux, le Maroc pourrait accueillir plus de 500 000 visiteurs étrangers supplémentaires sur la période de la CAN.

Dans cet épisode de Beurn Out, j'ai eu le plaisir de recevoir Ali Hajji, coordinateur du Festival International du Film de Marrakech (FIFM), en plein cœur de l'effervescence du festival.Nous avons échangé autour de son parcours, des défis liés à l'organisation d'un événement d'une telle envergure, mais aussi du retour en force du cinéma populaire arabe, de plus en plus présent et assumé sur la scène internationale.Malgré le chaos et l'intensité propres au FIFM, la discussion s'est révélée riche, sincère et inspirante. Ali Hajji s'est distingué par une grande humilité et une vision lucide du cinéma et du travail de l'ombre que nécessite un festival de cette ampleur.Impossible de ne pas saluer et remercier toute son équipe, dont l'engagement et le professionnalisme ont largement contribué à faire de cette édition du FIFM une véritable réussite.Un épisode à écouter pour mieux comprendre les coulisses d'un grand festival et les dynamiques actuelles des cinémas arabes

Introduction December 27th brings sudden urgency—just four days remain to implement critical year-end financial strategies that could save thousands in taxes, reduce portfolio risk, and position retirement accounts for 2025 success. Most people spend more time planning vacations than reviewing their largest asset: their retirement portfolio. But the market’s strong multi-year run has created hidden dangers in 401(k) accounts, particularly for those approaching retirement who haven’t rebalanced in years. In this episode of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree and Mike Johnson provide an essential year-end checklist covering portfolio drift, account consolidation, tax-smart charitable giving, target date fund dangers, and fraud protection as scam season intensifies. Portfolio Drift: The Silent Risk Multiplier What Five Years Did to Your 401(k) If you established a 60/40 portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) five years ago and never rebalanced, you’re sitting on dramatically more risk than intended. “If you had a 60-40 split in 2020, today you’re at about 76% stocks if you’ve made no changes,” Mike Johnson explained. “And your account’s worth 20 or 30% more, so there’s more dollars at stake, at risk.” The drift problem: Stocks outperformed bonds over five years Your stock allocation grew from market gains Total account value increased substantially Risk exposure multiplied Example: $500,000 in 2020 (60% stocks = $300,000) is now $650,000 with 76% stocks = $494,000 in equities. Your stock exposure grew 65%. S&P 500 Concentration Risk “About 40% of the S&P 500 is allocated to tech and high multiple stocks,” Mike noted. “If it’s been on autopilot, now is as good a time as any to look at it critically.” Market Corrections Are Inevitable “On average, every year you have a 10% drop in the market. That’s just the cost of admission,” Mike explained. “We had one back in April—it was closer to 20%. You were looking at 40, 50% drops in some things.” “A lot of people have forgotten how—and even that they should—play defense, especially when you’re getting close to retirement,” Mike cautioned. Year-end action: Check your actual allocation today. If stocks exceed your risk tolerance, rebalance before December 31st. Account Consolidation: Simplify Now The Multiple Account Problem “People’s thinking is, if I have this account over here and this account over here, I’ve got more money,” Tom observed. “When they consolidate those accounts, every one of those five pieces put together as one is gonna get managed better.” Hidden Costs of Scattered Accounts “It’s really hard to track performance if you have multiple accounts,” Mike explained. “It’s much simpler, much more accountable when it’s all consolidated together.” Problems with scattered accounts: Impossible to track overall performance Multiple RMD calculations Complex tax reporting Higher fees (missing breakpoint discounts) Poor overall portfolio coordination Mike’s consolidation benefits: “Proper investment to reach your goals, performance tracking, tax reporting, tax planning, and possible discounts on fees.” Year-end action: List all retirement accounts—schedule consolidation to simplify 2025 RMDs and reduce fees. Tax-Smart Year-End Strategies Strategy 1: Gift Appreciated Stock “Let’s say you give $10,000 a year to charity. You can gift those appreciated shares of stock to the organization,” Mike explained. “You can put that money right back into your brokerage account and reinvest it. You could even repurchase the same stock.” The double benefit: Charitable deduction for full market value Avoid capital gains tax on appreciation Example: Stock purchased for $4,000, now worth $10,000. Gift it, avoid $6,000 capital gain, use the $10,000 cash to buy it back. Strategy 2: Qualified Charitable Distribution “If you’re of the age where you have required minimum distributions, you can do a qualified charitable distribution,” Mike explained. “If you gift the RMD straight to the charity, it never flows through as taxable income to you.” QCD advantages: Counts toward RMD requirement Reduces adjusted gross income Lowers Medicare premiums Reduces taxes on Social Security Works even if you don’t itemize Year-end deadline: Execute stock gifts or QCDs before December 31st to count for 2024 taxes. The In-Service Rollover: Plan Three Years Ahead Act at Age 59½—Even While Working “At 59 and a half, you can do what’s called an in-service rollover,” Mike explained. “Even if you’re still employed and working, you can move over the balance of your 401(k) to an IRA and invest it more specifically for your situation.” The Three-Year Retirement Transition “Let’s say you’re 59 and a half and planning on retiring at 62. You can do that rollover, get the funds invested into an income-producing portfolio,” Mike detailed. “While you’re working, that income just reinvests back in. But when you hit 62, that portfolio’s already in place, it’s already working, and literally it’s linked to your checking account.” Tom emphasized the benefit: “It makes the retirement process more comfortable because you’re not leaving work and at the same time coming in brand new, getting comfortable with our investment approach. You’ve planned for it.” The seamless transition: Portfolio established 2-3 years before retirement Dividends reinvest while still working At retirement, switch to income payout mode No adjustment period or uncertainty Year-end action: If age 59½+, investigate in-service rollover options. Target Date Funds: Hidden Dangers The Collective Investment Trust Problem “52% of the assets in target date funds—over $2 trillion—are now in collective investment trusts,” Mike reported. What makes CITs dangerous: “A collective investment trust—they’re not required to register with the SEC,” Mike explained. “They don’t have to report, as transparently, all the internal fees. And they’re allowed to hold more illiquid investments inside of them.” The Blue Rock Disaster “There was a private real estate fund—the Blue Rock Total Income Fund,” Mike detailed. “The net asset value when it was private was about $24 a share. They decided to go public. The fund closed the day it went public at $14.70.” Investor loss: 39% immediately when real market pricing was revealed. “The NAV was bogus. It was totally bogus,” Mike concluded. The Vanguard-TIAA Annuity Trap “Vanguard announced they’re partnering with TIAA, and the target date fund automatically enrolls the investor in an annuity,” Mike reported. “What they’re hoping is that these people that have been on autopilot for 40 years—they’re not gonna change from being on autopilot at year 41,” Mike explained. “It’s just gonna automatically roll into these annuities. This is a money grab to keep the assets locked in.” Why Dupree Financial Group Avoids Them “We don’t use target date funds. We don’t like what the target date fund does to the client’s return,” Tom stated. “It’s about having all your money in one spot the day you retire. That money doesn’t need to be in one spot. It needs to be growing and throwing off dividends.” Mike: “The target date’s all based on historical averages. It doesn’t take into account what’s going on in the market or your situation.” Year-end action: If in a target date fund, research what’s actually inside it before the “glide path” continues. Year-End Fraud Alert: Peak Scam Season The January-February Surge “This time last year, at the first of the year, was one of the biggest fraud pushes that we’ve seen,” Mike warned. “As we get close to the end of the year, be diligent and protect yourself.” Sophisticated Team Operations “These fraudsters are very convincing. They sound like us. They sound like an advisor,” Mike explained. “They’ll bring somebody onto the line. They’ll keep people on the line for three hours. They’ve gotten used to handling objections.” Real Client Losses “We heard two in a row from our clients—older women, same amount: $10,000 each,” Tom recounted. “One woman could afford it. The other one really couldn’t.” The Defense Strategy “The first line of defense is you, the client,” Mike stated. “If you have something that pops up on your screen—don’t click there. If somebody calls—call somebody. Call a trusted person. If you’re a client of ours, call us. But do not take action on any of these things.” Critical warning: “Do not verify within their ecosystem. They say, ‘We’ll let you verify,’ and then they transfer you. They’re all working together.” Tom’s advice: “Get off the phone or don’t click on things and get somebody that you trust to find out exactly what’s going on.” Year-end vigilance: Never click pop-ups, never transfer money based on calls, always verify independently. Your Year-End Action Plan Critical Tasks Before December 31st ✓ Check portfolio drift – Verify stock/bond allocation matches risk tolerance ✓ Rebalance if needed – Reduce risk before 2025 ✓ Execute charitable strategies – Gift stock or make QCD before deadline ✓ Consolidate accounts – Simplify RMDs and reduce fees ✓ Research in-service rollovers – If 59½+, investigate options ✓ Review target date funds – Understand holdings before glide path continues ✓ Increase fraud vigilance – Peak scam season protection Questions Before Year-End What’s my actual current allocation? How many retirement accounts do I have scattered? Am I missing tax-saving charitable strategies? Do I understand what’s in my target date fund? Am I 59½+ with rollover options available? The Bottom Line With days remaining in 2024, retirement investors face critical decisions affecting taxes, risk exposure, and 2025 positioning. Portfolio drift has likely pushed your stock allocation far beyond original intentions. Target date funds may contain illiquid investments, opaque fees, and automatic annuitization. But opportunities exist: tax-smart giving, consolidation, in-service rollovers, and rebalancing. “All of these things fit into more of a holistic long-term retirement financial plan,” Mike concluded. “You want everything moving in the right direction to accomplish your goals.” Schedule Your Portfolio Review Is your portfolio drifted into dangerous territory?

The word "impossible" gets thrown around carelessly in our culture. We say things are impossible when we really mean they're difficult, unlikely, or inconvenient. But the story of Christmas confronts us with genuine impossibilities—things that defy the laws of nature, logic, and human capability. The “impossible” is exactly what God did 2,000 years ago and it changed the world forever.

This episode is a prayer for those moments when life feels heavy with expectations, responsibilities, and pressure coming from every direction. When demands outpace strength and rest feels out of reach, this prayer offers a way to pause, breathe, and place those burdens before God. It is a prayer for endurance, wisdom, and peace when everything feels required and nothing feels optional.

Earlier this month, and just in time for Christmas, Focus on the Family made a fun announcement: an upcoming theatrical adaptation of Adventures in Odyssey. Dubbed Journey Into The Impossible, this 3D animated film will explore the town of Odyssey before the establishment of Whit's End. What kinds of adventures will a young John Avery Whittaker enjoy? (This special episode was recorded live.) Episode sponsors Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queen A Faie Tale by Vince Mancuso MYTH: Reign of the Immortals by J. F. Nickens Mission update ‘Stranger Things' Season Five Gives Weight to Parents' Fears, A. D. Sheehan Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Quotes and notes ‘Adventures in Odyssey' Goes to the Movies? , Lorehaven, Dec. 4 ‘Adventures in Odyssey' Goes to the Movies? Adventures in Odyssey is releasing a new animated feature film. The working title is Journey into the Impossible. It’s scheduled for a theatrical release in fall 2026. Unlike previous video releases, this film is canon to the audio drama timeline. It serves as a prequel set years before the main series. The film will focus on a younger John Avery Whittaker (Whit), his wife Jenny, and their son Jason. The movie will feature 3D animation stylized with a “2D storybook appearance.” Creators say this will blend modern production quality with a nostalgic visual aesthetic. The project is led by long-time Adventures in Odyssey showrunner Dave Arnold. It also features work by former Disney animator John Pomeroy, ensuring faithfulness to the show’s legacy. A major goal of the film is to introduce the franchise to a new generation of families who may not be familiar with the 1,000+ episode audio drama. We discuss Whit's enduring appeal as a “positive patriarch.” He is a wise, capable, and gentle male role model, contrasting with many father figures in modern media. The creators are prioritizing a theatrical release to encourage families, churches, and homeschool groups to watch it together as a community event, rather than just streaming it individually. Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we looked back on the Left Behind series legacy. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.

What if risk management were not about playing defense, but about giving innovation the confidence to move forward? This is a replay of one of the most-listened-to Innovation Storytellers episodes of 2025. I am revisiting my conversation with Rose Hall, a former senior innovation leader at AXA XL, professional engineer, and long-time advocate for rethinking how organizations approach risk, because the ideas shared here feel even more relevant today. Drawing on her experience building digital platforms, business ecosystems, and client-driven innovation programs, Rose explains why risk and innovation are far more connected than most leaders realize. We talk about the often invisible role insurance plays beneath some of the world's most ambitious innovations, from advanced infrastructure projects to space exploration.  Rose shares how companies like SpaceX approach complex, layered risk and why traditional insurance models are struggling to keep pace with realities such as cyber exposure, climate volatility, and geopolitical uncertainty. The conversation also turns to emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. There is no single insurance product designed to cover AI, but Rose unpacks how existing policies may respond when things go wrong, and why that gray area demands a more adaptive and informed approach to risk management. It is a reminder that innovation rarely fits neatly into legacy frameworks. Partnerships emerge as a central theme. Rose argues that no organization can solve these challenges alone. Progress depends on collaboration between insurers, startups, and large enterprises who are willing to share insight, experiment responsibly, and rethink old assumptions together. This episode replay challenges the idea that risk management slows progress. Instead, Rose reframes it as a foundational enabler of growth, resilience, and long-term value. When risk is understood and managed well, innovation does not shrink; it accelerates. Has risk management been holding your organization back, or could it be the very thing that helps you move faster and smarter?  

Are you concerned about NIH funding for your research? Dr. Meg Bouvier, founder of Bouvier Grant Group, shares encouraging news: despite proposed cuts, Congress has protected NIH's nearly $50 billion budget with strong bipartisan support.  In this episode, Dr. Meg Bouvier explains how researchers can adapt their grant applications by reframing language to emphasize disease burden reduction and cost savings—without changing their core research direction. With nearly four decades of experience, including working as a staff writer for Francis Collins, she dispels myths about "forbidden terms" and offers practical strategies for navigating today's funding climate.  We also explore Meg's journey building a successful consulting business by hiring the right team. Her director of operations handles everything except Meg's zone of genius—allowing her to focus entirely on training researchers and analyzing grants. This principle applies whether you're pursuing funding or building a medical practice: stay at the top of your licensure and delegate everything else.  Key topics covered: NIH budget reality check, grant application strategies, team building, research development resources, adapting to funding climate changes, and balancing business ownership with meaningful work.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  

God regularly accomplishes what we deem difficult because nothing is difficult for Him! But what's more--God delights in doing the Impossible!

Most musicians would only dream of opening for Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin on tour but for Rosie Flores the dream came true! Rosie drops by The City's Backyard Podcast on this episode to talk about her music, career, and new album called Impossible Frontiers with her band The Talismen! Plus she speaks about what it's like to be on the road opening for Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Suzi Dian.Rosie Flores, triple-threat Texas musician, has never allowed the challenge of navigating the male-centric worlds of rock and country music slow her down. In fact, she often drew upon those challenges as source material in sharply observed songs she not only wrote and sang with authority and passion, but also brought to life musically as a widely respected lead guitarist in a string of notable bands.Rosie is one of the 2024 NEA National Heritage Fellows! In September 2024 she accepted her gold medal award at the Library Of Congress, appearing at the Kennedy Center as well as the White House. A daughter of San Antonio whose musical journey also has included quality time in Austin, Los Angeles, and Nashville, Flores has adroitly absorbed, helped preserve, and extended the musical legacies of influential Texas musicians as varied as country music's King of Western Swing Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, blues guitar master T-Bone Walker, and Tex Mex innovator Doug Sahm.In the 1970s, she became one of the most celebrated performers on the “cowpunk” circuit (a hybrid of punk rock and country), alongside such other rising stars as Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams, Rank & File, and Los Lobos (2021 NEA National Heritage Fellows). The release of her 1987 debut solo album Rosie Flores proved her to be a singer and songwriter of the first rank, and helped lay the foundation for what coalesced into the alt country movement.Flores became the first Latina to crack Billboard's country music chart. For her enthusiastic participation in and ongoing promotion of Austin's deep and wide music scene, including the annual South by Southwest Conference, the city has proclaimed Rosie Flores Day in 2006.Flores has remained a spark plug live performer for more than five decades, a goosebump-inducing electric guitarist and songwriter as well as champion of the trailblazers who preceded her. Notably, she lured pioneering rockabilly heroines Wanda Jackson (2005 NEA National Heritage Fellow) and Janis Martin (“the female Elvis”) back into recording studios and onto concert stages for lauded late-career rejuvenations. Flores won a 2007 Peabody Award for her narration of the NPR rockabilly documentary, Whole Lotta Shakin'.For more on Rosie and her tour click here > https://rosieflores.com/tour/

À l'heure des bilans technologiques, Patrice Duboé décrypte les grandes ruptures de 2025 et trace les lignes de force de 2026, entre IA générative, robots industriels, enjeux énergétiques, cybersécurité et transformation profonde des entreprises mondiales.En partenariat avec CapgeminiInterview : Patrice Duboé, directeur de l'Innovation pour l'Europe du Sud chez CapgeminiQuelles grandes tendances technologiques retenez-vous de l'année 2025 ?2025 a été une année extrêmement riche. Impossible de ne pas parler de l'IA générative et surtout de l'arrivée concrète des agents. Ils sont désormais déployés à grande échelle, avec des cas d'usage très opérationnels. Dans les centres de support, par exemple, on utilise des agents capables d'analyser des décennies de tickets pour identifier instantanément les causes probables d'un problème, en s'appuyant sur des technologies issues de l'IA générative telles que celles développées par des acteurs comme OpenAI ou intégrées dans des solutions d'entreprise. Résultat : jusqu'à 25 % de gains de productivité. On n'est plus dans l'expérimentation, mais clairement dans l'industrialisation.L'informatique quantique progresse aussi. Où en est-on réellement ?Le quantique reste encore très orienté recherche, mais ses promesses sont majeures. On le voit déjà dans la météorologie, où l'on parvient à allonger les prévisions grâce à des modèles toujours plus complexes, développés notamment par des instituts de recherche et des industriels comme IBM Quantum. Demain, cela va transformer la recherche médicale, en particulier sur le cancer. Mais il y a aussi un enjeu critique en cybersécurité : le jour où les ordinateurs quantiques pourront casser nos clés de chiffrement actuelles. C'est pour cela que les entreprises travaillent dès maintenant sur la cryptographie post-quantique, par exemple à travers les recommandations du NIST.Robots, humanoïdes, “dark factories” : que faut-il attendre de 2026 ?2026 sera clairement une année d'accélération. Les robots et les humanoïdes vont encore gagner du terrain, portés par l'IA. On voit émerger en Chine les premières dark factories, des usines entièrement automatisées, inspirées des modèles déployés par des groupes industriels comme Xiaomi ou dans l'automobile électrique. Ces sites fonctionnent sans éclairage ni présence humaine, 24h/24, et consomment moins d'énergie. Ils répondent aussi à une pénurie mondiale de main-d'œuvre. Contrairement aux craintes habituelles, il ne s'agit pas seulement de supprimer des emplois, mais de transformer le travail et de créer de nouveaux métiers, notamment autour de l'ingénierie et de la supervision des systèmes.Faut-il craindre une bulle de l'IA ?Je distinguerais la bulle financière de la bulle technologique. Il y a sans doute une surévaluation financière, notamment autour des fabricants de puces comme NVIDIA, dont les technologies sont devenues centrales pour l'IA, et un ajustement est probable fin 2026. En revanche, sur le plan technologique, l'IA n'est pas une bulle. Les gains sont réels, mesurables et déjà intégrés dans les usages. Contrairement à d'autres concepts comme le métaverse, l'IA va transformer durablement notre façon de travailler, d'apprendre et de produire.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

New Orleans has a way of blurring the line between celebration and something far older. On a night meant for music, noise, and escape, one woman stepped into a familiar place expecting nothing more than a quick break from the crowd. Instead, she walked out questioning whether she'd crossed into something unseen—and whether it had noticed her first. What happened inside that restroom wasn't loud or theatrical. It was sudden. Physical. Impossible to ignore. And it left behind more questions than answers—questions that followed her long after she left the building. When she eventually returned to the same club, the space felt different. Details stood out that hadn't before. The atmosphere carried weight. And the memory of that moment refused to stay buried. Was it coincidence? Imagination? Or something in that room still waiting to be acknowledged? #RealGhostStories #NewOrleansHaunting #TrueParanormal #HauntedPlaces #UnexplainedEncounters #GhostStoriesPodcast #ParanormalExperience #SomethingFollowedMe #TrueGhostStory #CreepyEncounters Love real ghost stories?

In this engaging Ask Away episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe tackles listener questions on everyday halacha and deeper Jewish concepts. Key topics include:Leaving negative Google reviews: Permissible only if consistently poor (to protect others), not for one-off bad experiences, to avoid lashon hara.Converts reciting Kaddish for non-Jewish parents: Not forbidden, and may merit their souls (as Avraham elevated his father Terach), though its full effect is unclear; honoring parents remains relevant.Modern rabbinic ordination (semicha): The biblical Sanhedrin chain ended with the Second Temple, but the unbroken rabbi-to-student transmission continues today, granting authority through rigorous testing—distinct from mere professional licensing.Blessings on processed foods (juices, oat milk, Pringles, soups): When original form changes significantly, default to Shehakol; priorities and mixtures follow complex rules (e.g., separate blessings for distinct components in soup).Continuing to eat after benching: Allowed, but requires new brachot.Fluctuating faith and synagogue-hopping: Hashem cherishes every effort; simple, heartfelt prayer anywhere strengthens connection—encouragement over self-criticism.Jews as "non-fighters" yet having a strong army: Victories are supernatural miracles (stories from 1948, Six-Day War, recent conflicts), not natural might—Hashem fights our battles when we stay close to Torah.The episode overflows with inspiring stories of divine protection and encouragement to appreciate open Torah study in America amid 2,000 years of relentless persecution.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #79) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

The "Holidays" can mean so much to so many people.  Whether based on your personal beliefs, religious upbringing, or just the "Feelin' of the Season", it is IMPOSSIBLE to not have some emotions related to this time of year.  For a special 4 part holiday series, Eric and Donna, relate the candles of the Christmas Advent Wreath to Real Estate and buyer and seller expectations.  To the Season itself, and Eric shares some special perspectives based on his Holiday appearances and performances as Santa, Jolly old Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, Papa Noel, Father Christmas and more. As a reminder, Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey.

Key topics include:Leaving negative Google reviews: Permissible only if consistently poor (to protect others), not for one-off bad experiences, to avoid lashon hara.Converts reciting Kaddish for non-Jewish parents: Not forbidden, and may merit their souls (as Avraham elevated his father Terach), though its full effect is unclear; honoring parents remains relevant.Modern rabbinic ordination (semicha): The biblical Sanhedrin chain ended with the Second Temple, but the unbroken rabbi-to-student transmission continues today, granting authority through rigorous testing—distinct from mere professional licensing.Blessings on processed foods (juices, oat milk, Pringles, soups): When original form changes significantly, default to Shehakol; priorities and mixtures follow complex rules (e.g., separate blessings for distinct components in soup).Continuing to eat after benching: Allowed, but requires new brachot.Fluctuating faith and synagogue-hopping: Hashem cherishes every effort; simple, heartfelt prayer anywhere strengthens connection—encouragement over self-criticism.Jews as "non-fighters" yet having a strong army: Victories are supernatural miracles (stories from 1948, Six-Day War, recent conflicts), not natural might—Hashem fights our battles when we stay close to Torah.The episode overflows with inspiring stories of divine protection and encouragement to appreciate open Torah study in America amid 2,000 years of relentless persecution.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #79) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Greg shares powerful insights on authenticity, mindset, and communication—highlighting how self-limiting beliefs often stand in the way of trust and progress.The conversation dives into practical strategies for setting clear agreements, defining mutual respect, and creating psychological safety in client and team relationships. Through real-world examples and role-playing, Greg demonstrates how intentional communication can transform conflict into collaboration and rebuild trust where it feels lost.KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthenticity as a Foundation: Sustainable sales success is impossible without an authentic connection and a baseline of mutual respect.Mindset Over Circumstance: Most "impossible" relationships are actually limited by our own internal beliefs—change your narrative to change the outcome.Define Respect Early: Success lies in establishing clear agreements and understanding exactly what "respect" means to your client.The Information Gap: Open and honest communication about expectations is vital; without information, people create "worst-case" stories that lead to downward spirals.Radical Accountability: You cannot control another person, but you have 100% control over your attitude, your actions, and how you show up.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESEveryone wants to buy, no one wants to be sold.If I don't have your best in mind, it's going to come across as me trying to get something for myself.People have to have psychological safety in the conversation—mutual purpose and mutual respect.In the absence of information, we make it up and we make up the worst story we can.

Feeling stuck after infidelity doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. In this episode, I explain why feeling frozen, conflicted, or unable to move forward is actually a normal response to emotional trauma—and how your brain is trying to protect you, even when it's keeping you trapped.   I walk through three common scenarios I see again and again: staying when you're afraid to leave, being left and drowning in self-doubt, or choosing to stay but feeling unable to trust or feel peace. If any of these sound familiar, you're not broken. Your brain is wired to seek ease, avoid pain, and cling to what feels familiar—even when that familiarity hurts. I also share how real change begins by reconnecting with your future self—the version of you who already knows what's possible. When you get clear on what you want and why you want it, you can start creating movement, even in small ways, and reclaim your power. Key takeaways: Feeling stuck is a protective brain response, not a personal failure Avoiding pain often keeps us locked in familiar suffering Clarity about what you want is the way out of stagnation If you're ready to stop feeling trapped and start moving forward, reach out. You don't have to do this alone.

Few companies in aviation history can claim an average of one new aircraft flown every year for four decades. Enter Scaled Composites.Founded in 1982 by legendary designer Burt Rutan, Scaled Composites specializes in designing, building, and flight-testing proof-of-concept, prototype, and milestone-achieving aircraft—often pushing the edge of what's thought possible.On this episode, Scaled Composites President Greg Morris and engineering test pilot Justin Gillen pull back the curtain on this extraordinary organization. They explain how Scaled safely develops and flies so many radically different aircraft, why real-world flight test is far more disciplined than Hollywood would have you believe, and what it takes to turn bold ideas into first flights.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donations

The criticisms against Sec. of War Pete Hegseth are “entirely political,” and anyone could have said the same things about “the Obama and Biden administration—and much more egregiously.”   Hegseth has turned the U.S. military around in ways no one thought was possible, like getting the military back to meeting all of its recruiting quotas, explains Hanson during today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”   Recruitment under the Biden administration fell “some 40 to 50,000 recruits,” and former Sec. of Defense Lloyd Austin's Pentagon used excuses like “people are out of shape, in gangs, using drugs, etc.”   “The real cause was, as Pete Hegseth said when he came in, that people felt that the military was not emphasizing combat, battlefield efficacy… [Now,] There is a record number of Army recruits. The military has met all of its recruiting. That is equivalent to the dramatic revolution on the southern border. Nobody thought we could close the border. We did. Nobody thought we could get recruitment back. Pete Hegseth did,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:”
