In this episode, Christina Lecuyer gets real about regrets—the ones she's faced personally, and the ones she's seen echoed across generations. From missed opportunities in personal growth to lessons in financial literacy, Christina opens up about the moments she wishes she'd acted sooner. But more than looking back, this conversation is about moving forward. She challenges you to recognize where you may be holding back in your own life and shows why investing in yourself, whether through education, growth, or bold decision-making is the most powerful way to break the cycle of regret.
Jeannette explores the profound truth that "what you don't change, you choose." delving into the importance of taking control of your career and life by recognising the passive choices we make when we tolerate unsatisfactory situations. She outlines three transformative shifts: moving from tolerance to truth, from procrastination to action, and from fear to freedom. You'll learn that: Recognising that what you don't change, you choose, empowers you to take control of your life and career. Accepting this truth allows you to become the conscious author of your own story. Calling out the things you are tolerating in your life or work stops it from draining your energy. By facing issues honestly, you can reclaim your power and set new boundaries. Moving from "someday" to "today" is crucial. Inaction is a choice that keeps you stuck. Taking even small steps today can bridge the gap between your current reality and your ideal vision.

She's the author of "Cultivating Audacity: Dismantle Doubt and Let Yourself Win" and has navigated multiple career pivots throughout her professional life. In this episode, Anne Marie reveals that audacity isn't reserved for the naturally fearless but can be developed as a learnable skill. Anne Marie explains that true audacity requires getting comfortable with failure, surviving it, and trying again. She identifies four barriers that stop leaders: fear, time, money, and that inner critic. Elite performers don't silence their inner critic but examine its messages with neutral curiosity. Anne Marie teaches her catastrophize your life technique for evaluating risks by imagining the worst possible outcomes. This helps distinguish between legitimate concerns and irrational fears that paralyze decision-making. She emphasizes that the cost of inaction is always higher than the price of failure. Anne Marie introduces the concept of your front row, the people who challenge you and tell you the truth. She advocates for shape shifting leadership and shares how vulnerability became key to her transformation. If you're ready to stop letting fear control your biggest decisions, this episode is essential listening. You can find episode 474 wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Key Takeaways [02:42] Anne Marie reveals what's not publicly known about her: she did adventure travel before kids, rafting dangerous rivers, climbing to Everest base camp, and trekking gorillas in the Congo. [03:39] She explains that audacity requires practice with failing and getting comfortable with failure because "if you're not failing, you're really not pushing yourself to be audacious." [04:32] Anne Marie advises understanding why you want to make a change first, then evaluating what you're willing to risk to get there. [06:18] She identifies that elite athletes control their inner critic by recognizing it and examining messages with neutral curiosity rather than trying to silence it. Anne Marie defines audacity as "optimism that you're going to survive no matter how they work out." [08:26] Anne Marie intentionally shares her failures with her children, showing them rejections she gets to normalize failure as information. [11:36] She shares what to do differently to confront the fear and recommends catastrophizing situations to their ridiculous extreme. [17:06] She explains that your "front row" should be people who challenge and push you, not necessarily your best friends who want to keep you safe. [22:48] Anne Marie describes leaders as "shape shifters" who tailor their approach to each person's individual motivation and needs. [26:00] She distinguishes that urgent tasks are usually responses to others' requests while important tasks move you closer to your values and goals. [28:17] Anne Marie shares how her relationship with vulnerability has changed through the series of transformations she had in her lifetime and career. [31:03] She describes actively seeking rejection to desensitize herself, advising people to "fail first, go fail a lot." [32:54] Anne Marie's closing advice is for leaders to share their vulnerabilities and be "shape shifting leaders" who find the best in everyone. [34:16] And remember...“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” - Dale Carnegie Quotable Quotes "It requires practice, and it requires practice with failing and getting comfortable failing." "If you're not failing, you're really not pushing yourself to be audacious." "Audacity at the base, right, is about optimism. And it's not optimism that things are going to work out the way you want it to. It's optimism that you're going to survive no matter how they work out." "If the price is too high to do the work, to create the change, then wait till you get the bill for regret, because that is super steep." "I would far rather have a list of failures than have a list of regrets." "You're going to get information as to how to take your next step. If you don't take that first step, how do you know where to go?" "Elite performers on that last one, inner critic, have great control of their inner critic power. They don't silence it. You can't silence your inner critic, but you can recognize it for what it is." "Your front row needs to be those people who will challenge you, who will push you, who will tell you the truth." "A great leader is somebody who's going to be able to say, obviously, I have all of these incredibly urgent matters. I'm carving out specific times to work toward our goals, our future." "Things that are urgent are usually in response to a request... Things that are important move us closer to our values, vision, goals, who we want to be." "I tell people, fail first, go fail a lot. Whatever the thing is you're most afraid of, do that one first. When you start actively seeking it out, it becomes easier." "To really understand human behavior, I think you have to understand what people fear."

Host Tara uses the case of a man named Kilmar Abrego Garcia to criticize what she calls a "pathetic" immigration system. She expresses outrage that Garcia, who she identifies as an illegal immigrant, human trafficker, and a gang member on an international watch list, was released by the FBI. According to Tara, this is a direct consequence of laws that prevent state law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration agents. She then contrasts the actions of Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis—who she praises for deputizing law enforcement to check immigration status—with her own state's governor, Henry McMaster, whom she accuses of political cowardice and making his state a "sanctuary." The host links these policy failures to the dangers posed by "illegal immigrant trucking gangs" who cannot read English and are on the roads, leading to dangerous driving conditions and a higher risk to public safety. She concludes by citing statistics about the number of illegal immigrants in her state with criminal records, arguing that political leaders are failing to protect their citizens.

Follow me on X! https://x.com/stefanmolyneuxIn this lecture, Stefan Molyneux examines the theme of indifference among Christians during his childhood experiences of violence and trauma. He highlights the contradictions between Christian moral teachings and the inaction of those professing these values, reflecting on a pervasive neglect he encountered from supportive figures. Molyneux discusses the challenge of evil as a critical issue for humanity, arguing that both religious frameworks and atheistic nihilism fall short in addressing this problem. He introduces his ethical system of Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB), which aims to provide an objective moral foundation independent of religious beliefs or governmental authority. Central to his discussion is the protection of children, with Molyneux critiquing existing moral and educational systems for failing to ensure their safety. He concludes by urging exploration of concepts like peaceful parenting and UPB as pathways to a more moral society.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Today, EU foreign ministers are gathering in Brussels for their final meeting before the summer recess. The main item on the agenda is of course the EU's association agreement with Israel, and whether Israel is living up to its human rights obligations under that deal. Following weeks of mounting pressure over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has presented a list of options that range from suspending trade with Israel to halting student exchanges. All because an EU review found Israel falling short of the human rights standards required by the agreement, while the latest reports are showing attacks on civilians at aid distribution centres.

Sometimes when we are conflicted, it's easier to just dismiss our feelings and try not to think about it. But this seldom ever works and usually only makes matters worse. Even though it is hard, we need to take it to God and let Him help us sort it out and find the right course of action.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, flash floods swept through Kerr County, Texas, killing 104 people—at least 28 of them children (to date), many attending summer camp. In this STRAT episode, retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer dissects the disaster through a strategic lens. From urgent failures in local preparedness to the long-ignored federal guidance that could have saved lives, he examines the chain of policy decisions and institutional apathy that left communities vulnerable. He also explores how California state officials once blocked a national emergency intelligence initiative—CPG-502—that might have prompted better preparedness in Texas. This tragedy, he argues, exposes deeper failures in how states manage risk, federal grants, and public safety priorities. It's a sobering conversation on how bureaucracy, politics, and negligence converge—with deadly results.Takeaways:Flash floods in Kerr County, Texas, killed 91, including 28 children (to date).Camp Mystic suffered devastating losses amid rapidly rising floodwaters.The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in just 45 minutes.Local officials lacked basic audible flood warning systems.DHS's CPG-502, a key preparedness guide, was ignored nationwide.California DOJ blocked emergency intel programs later copied by Texas.Political mismanagement of FEMA funds hampered preparedness investments.The failure to act years ago helped set the stage for disaster#TexasFlood #EmergencyPreparedness #CPG502 #FusionCenters #FederalGrants #CampMystic #FloodResponse #HomelandSecurity #PublicSafety #DisasterMitigation #StrategicPolicy #StateAccountability #CrisisManagement #NationalSecurity #NaturalDisasters #KerrCounty #OODAloop #FlashFloods #STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis

It's a scary thought, but across the globe, many are grappling with an even more immediate and visceral reality: the climate crisis is already a health crisis.From deadly heatwaves to worsening air pollution and climate-related trauma, the health impacts of climate change are escalating. In this episode, Christiana Figueres and Paul Dickinson explore how growing awareness of these challenges is beginning to reframe the conversation, and ask whether this could be the narrative that finally drives faster, more inclusive climate action.Christiana is joined by former Australian Prime Minister and Chair of the Wellcome Trust, Julia Gillard, who makes the case for why health must become central to climate communication - and why we should be talking about “lives lost”, rather than simply degrees gained.Meanwhile, Tom Rivett-Carnac drops in from the launch of London Climate Action Week 2025, where health is rapidly emerging as a defining lens.

Devastation is the distraction, and the world is not being allowed to see. When will the focus shift back to Gaza? Resetting the camera angle for a convincing story. You are never locked out from learning more. Never say you are not good at politics. Gridlock excuses inaction. Leadership thrives when we feel helpless. The dirty details on the Iran debacle. Amplifying the need for clarity. The stage is on fire, and truth gets smoked out in distractions. The problem isn't chaos, it's multi-domain cleansing. Life is about planting the right seeds. The ultimate check play. This war, like others, has the same patterns and shields. The US is desperate to control China via naval assets. Energy supplies are key. By-product that are good for the Gulf. The new land based alternative. Iran is China's back up plan. Strategic disability for planners. Lip wristed pussies with no missile defense. The NATO member to watch is Turkey. They host US nukes. Russia's has real red lines. Chinese rail tech is a Trojan horse on tracks. And they watch everything. Trade flow leverage is real. When man's hand gets into the Bible, the written word is changed. Book two is out and it shows how they skew things. Shadow groups and code words. Let's all recognize the courage it takes to stand against the system that feeds off chaos.

Let's talk about Trump ending Social Security through inaction....
Craig Siegel, once engrossed in the high-stakes world of Wall Street, found himself surrounded by financial gains but devoid of genuine fulfillment. When faced with his father's cancer diagnosis and the strains of a toxic relationship, Craig was driven to reconsider what truly mattered in life. The pandemic became an unexpected ally, giving him the time and introspection needed to embrace personal development, leading to the birth of the CLS brand, a venture grounded in the conviction that aligning one's career with their authentic self can unlock abundance and purpose.As the discussion unfolds, we confront the startling reality that only 20% of Americans find purpose in their work. By creating intentional "white space" for reflection and introspection, we can redefine wealth not just through financial means but through awakening and actualizing our true potential. Craig's story is a testament to the resilience and determination required to overcome life's hurdles and align personal and professional aspirations. Join us for an inspiring exchange that encourages a mindset shift towards resilience, purpose, and genuine wealth.

This special remastered episode of the Lawyerist Podcast features Stephanie's conversation with Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader. We're re-releasing it due to positive feedback on the depth of this discussion, ensuring you'll gain new insights and "aha!" moments with every listen. In this episode, we explore AI's transformative power, viewing it not as a threat, but as a liberator that enhances our work. We dive into the five core human skills to emphasize in an AI-driven world: strategic thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and creation. We demonstrate how to leverage AI strategically, from evaluating business plans to acting as a growth-minded board member, and you'll hear how we're integrating AI into our own leadership meetings. Geoff shares real-world examples of using AI as a "thought partner" to stress-test major strategic decisions, even creating an "AI board of advisors." He also provides practical applications for lawyers, such as using AI to review NDAs, stress-test legal arguments, and role-play closing arguments with AI as your jury. To guide your own AI journey, Geoff outlines his "CRIT" framework (Context, Role, Interview, Task) for effective prompting and highlights the importance of understanding AI model settings for data privacy and confidentiality.

In today's episode, I sit down with operational growth strategist and author Jack Jackson to talk about the high cost of inaction. Jack shares the origin story behind his book Reaction to Inaction, sparked by a moment of silence that cost a company $20 million and one passionate leader their drive. We get into what real empowerment looks like inside an organization, why janitors should be trusted just as much as executives, and how structure can create more freedom, not less. Jack breaks down the framework for building organizations where everyone has a voice, a role in innovation, and the confidence to act with purpose.
