Zac Alcampo, Creative Director at Grow Your Center, brings a fresh perspective to leadership, culture, and creativity in early education. With two decades of experience in the gaming industry, Zac is a dynamic entrepreneur and inventive strategist who has helped build immersive digital experiences that merge gamification, artificial intelligence, and user engagement. Now, he's applying those same ideas to the world of child care — reimagining everything from team collaboration to marketing to parenting itself.   In this episode, Zac joins Kris to talk about gamification in parenting, business, and leadership. They cover how AI can boost productivity and creativity, how to use jam-style collaboration in your team culture, and how behavioral design can be a powerful tool in both the classroom and the breakroom.   Key Takeaways: [6:15] Kris shares her summer travel adventures and spiritual coaching work. [7:48] Zac joins from Minsk, Belarus, where he splits his days between parenting and leading creative tech projects. [9:12] Zac explains how his video game industry background led him to gamify tools at Grow Your Center. [13:24] From Microsoft to Bangkok startups, Zac's global career shaped how he solves problems creatively and at scale. [18:23] He shares how he co-parents a bilingual preschooler and how every moment becomes a playful game. [25:51] Fun fact: Zac is a seasoned street dancer and battle organizer who once crowdfunded a street culture festival in Thailand! [33:07] Kris and Zac talk about the tools that the GYC team uses to build next-level content. [37:48] Zac explains how “art directing” AI is the key to using it effectively. It's not about replacing creativity but amplifying it. [45:31] Zac outlines the structure of a “session” — collaborative cycles that build energy, creativity, and connection. [48:26] Gamification isn't just games; it's strategic behavior design. Done well, it increases engagement without being overwhelming. [53:45] Ideas for using gamification in parent events, leadership retreats, classroom behavior, and team training. [55:08] Tip: Split leaderboards into categories so everyone has a lane where they can win and feel valued. [56:28] S3 clients will soon see new gamified systems for onboarding, tracking progress, and celebrating wins. [58:59] Zac spills some beans on what's coming to S3, including visual progress tools, Slack AI, and more rewards. [1:01:35] Zac shares what he's most excited about: launching the M3 platform (Marketing Made Easy) for 2026.   Quotes: “I always tell people, GYC is childcare center marketing on the outside, but inside it's this crazy, cool tech, innovative kind of machine going on inside.” — Zac [9:40] “I have to say, I have a huge sense of purpose with everything that I've learned in my career beforehand and applying it to child care centers.” — Zac [12:10] “Everything turns into a game, and it's quickly become like having a little best friend.” — Zac [18:50] “That's the biggest thing, the mentality shift in the team, instead of like a doer, or just like, you know, a run-of-the-mill worker, really put into their heads to just act like the art director of what you're doing, and use the AI as a pencil, a really, really fast pencil. And you still have to know what looks good. You still have to have your design principles and your theory in there, but you can just produce so much more content with that.” — Zac [40:11]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal Zac Alcampo LinkedIn

Throughout the war on the Eastern Front, there were two consistent trends. The Red Army battled to learn how to fight and win, while involved in a struggle for its very survival. Butby 1944 it had a leadership that was able to wield it with lethal effect and with far more effective equipment than before. By contrast, the Wehrmacht had commenced a slow process of decline after the invasion of the Soviet Union.Hitler became increasingly unwilling to delegate decision-making to commanders in the field, which had been crucial to earlier success. The long years of fighting had also taken a heavy toll. Thousands of irreplaceable junior officers and NCOs were dead, wounded or prisoners.Renowned Eastern Front expert Prit Buttar expertly brings these contrasting fortunes to life, trends which culminated in the huge battles of Bagration. As this masterful study conclusively shows, in 1944 the Red Army finally puttogether a campaign that utterly destroyed the German Army Group Centre. The Wehrmacht suffered the loss of over 300,000 men killed, wounded or taken prisoner and the Red Army rolled forward across Belarus to the outskirts ofWarsaw. The end of the war was still many months away, and the Germans managed to reconstruct their line on the Eastern Front, but final victory for the Soviet Union was now only a matter of time as a direct consequence of Bagration. About the Author:Prit Buttar studied medicine at Oxford and Londonbefore joining the British Army as a doctor. After leaving the army, he worked as a general practitioner. An established expert on the Eastern Front in 20th-century military history, his most recent titles include the critically acclaimed new history of the siege of Leningrad: To Besiege A City:Leningrad 1941–42 and Hero City: Leningrad 1943–44. He lives in Kirkcudbright, Scotland.

Max and Maria spoke with Edward Fishman about his bestselling book, Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare. 

Als er geen verrassingen zijn spreken een Oekraïense en een Russische delegatie vanochtend elkaar in Istanboel. Hoewel dit niet het topoverleg is waarop president Zelensky had gehoopt, is het wel de eerste keer sinds kort na het begin van de oorlog in 2022 dat de twee landen weer direct contact hebben. We spreken met VRT-journalist en defensiedeskundige Jens Franssen over deze ontmoeting en de rol van Europa in de onderhandelingen.  (10:39) De klank van vrijheid: Hoe muziek verzet adem geeft Tijdens de protesten in Belarus tegen president Aleksandr Loekasjenko in de zomer van 2020 klonk er één lied luid en duidelijk door de straten: Peremen! van de Sovjetband Kino. Gegrepen door de kracht van deze beelden en de roep om democratie, schreef Peter Vermeersch in zijn nieuwe boek Polsslag over hoe deze muziek mensen tot op de dag van vandaag blijft inspireren in de strijd voor vrijheid. Presentatie: Sophie Derkzen

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and President Trump's efforts to change the U.S. relationship with Europe and NATO have caused some European countries to rethink their own defense. One example is Poland, which shares a 500-mile border with Russia and Russian ally Belarus. Poland is preparing to repel a Russian invasion, and this preparation includes a plan to train every adult male in the country to be ready for war. We go to Poland to see what the preparations look like.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This week Dr. Waitman Beorn drops in to talk about Defiance (2008) and his work researching the Holocaust in Europe during World War II.About our guest:Dr. Waitman Wade Beorn is an associate professor in History at Northumbria University in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK.  Dr. Beorn was previously the Director of the Virginia Holocaust Museum in Richmond, VA and the inaugural Blumkin Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.  His first book, Marching Into Darkness: The Wehrmacht and the Holocaust in Belarus (Harvard University Press) Dr. Beorn is also the author of The Holocaust in Eastern Europe: At the Epicenter of the Final Solution (Bloomsbury Press, 2018) and has recently finished a book on the Janowska concentration camp outside of Lviv, Ukraine.

Während die Deutschen sich lange damit schwertaten, den 8. Mai als Tag der Befreiung zu begrüßen, war die Sache in den Ländern, die früher zur Sowjetunion gehörten, eindeutiger: Dort stand der 9. Mai für den Sieg über Nazideutschland.  Einfach war auch dieses Gedenken nicht angesichts der vielen Opfer des deutschen Vernichtungskriegs – 27 Millionen Menschen wurden allein in der Sowjetunion getötet, Millionen Menschen waren verwundet und verkrüppelt. Doch für den Schmerz gab es im offiziellen Gedenken keinen Platz, obwohl vermutlich jede Familie in Russland, Belarus oder der Ukraine betroffen war. Erst unter Leonid Breschnew wurden am 9. Mai Militärparaden auf dem Roten Platz abgehalten. Heute werden die Paraden wieder pompös im Herzen von Moskau gefeiert. Wladimir Putin droht mit seinen Panzern und Raketen der Welt, flicht in die Geschichte vom Sieg über Nazideutschland seinen aktuellen Krieg gegen die Ukraine ein. Er spricht von der Vergangenheit und meint die Gegenwart. Er missbraucht den Sieg über den Faschismus, um seine imperialen Kriege zu rechtfertigen. In dieser "Ostcast"-Folge diskutieren Michael Thumann und Alice Bota, wie Putin schon vor Jahren den 9. Mai als wichtigste ideologische Ressource seines Regimes entdeckt hat, mit der er das Volk hinter sich sammelt und wie er nach und nach seinen Kampf gegen die Ukraine in die große Erzählung vom Kampf gegen den Faschismus eingewoben hat – und warum Länder wie die Ukraine sich davon abwenden und nun am 8. Mai des Sieges über Nazideutschland gedenken. Alle drei Wochen sprechen wir im "Ostcast" über Politik und Gesellschaft der osteuropäischen Länder. Alice Bota berichtet von ihren Gesprächen und Erfahrungen in Osteuropa, Michael Thumann erzählt von seinen Begegnungen und Reisen in Russland und den Nachbarländern.

But by 1944 it had a leadership that was able to wield it with lethal effect and with far more effective equipment than before.

Hitler became increasingly unwilling to delegate decision-making to commanders in the field, which had been crucial to earlier success. The long years of fighting had also taken a heavy toll. Thousands of irreplaceable junior officers and NCOs were dead, wounded or prisoners.Today’s guest is Prit Buttar, author of “Bagration 1944: The Great Soviet Offensive.” We look at these trends, which culminated in the huge battles of Bagration. In 1944, the Red Army finally put together a campaign that utterly destroyed the German Army Group Centre. The Wehrmacht suffered the loss of over 300,000 men killed, wounded or taken prisoner and the Red Army rolled forward across Belarus to the outskirts of Warsaw. The end of the war was still many months away, and the Germans managed to reconstruct their line on the Eastern Front, but final victory for the Soviet Union was now only a matter of time as a direct consequence of Bagration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1943, Nazi Forces occupied the Soviet territory of Byelorussia (modern day Belarus). Unleashing their fanatical SS divisions - the true believers and the unrepentant criminals - they brought violence, misery and death to the local population.

The Center for Immigration Studies hosted a panel discussion examining how immigration is used as a political, economic, and strategic tool by governments, non-state, and sub-state actors worldwide. Whether through mass migration crises, policy-driven border surges, or the manipulation of refugee flows, immigration has become a powerful geopolitical weapon and a means of waging hybrid warfare. Examples have included Cuba's use of the Mariel boatlift in 1980 or the more recent efforts by Belarus to coordinate illegal immigration to the EU.This panel explored the concept of immigration warfare – how immigration is leveraged to gain political leverage; influence legislation, elections, and the economy; shape public opinion; and even destabilize a country. Discussion also covered how nations can respond to this growing challenge. The discussion is an activity of the International Network for Immigration Research (INIR), a collaboration among independent policy organizations on three continents sharing the perspective that each sovereign nation has the right to pursue its chosen immigration policies.Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and host of Parsing Immigration Policy, moderates this rebroadcast of the Center's panel.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestsViktor Marsai is the Director of the Migration Research Institute in Budapest.Phillip Linderman is a Retired senior Foreign Service officer from the State Department and a Board Member of the Center for Immigration Studies.Eric Ruark is the Director of Research of Numbers USA.RelatedPanel Press ReleasePanel VideoPanel TranscriptC-Span CoverageIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Join Ms. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, National Leader of Belarus and Head of the United Transitional Cabinet, and Hoover Senior Fellow, H.R. McMaster, as they discuss the Belarusian opposition, her fight for freedom, and the importance of countering Russian aggression in Europe. With Belarus at the center of geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe, Ms. Tsikhanouskaya discusses the nature of the Stalinist Lukashenka regime and mechanisms used to maintain their grip on power, what the opposition has accomplished and its future priorities, including the release of political prisoners and holding free and fair elections, her views on the war in Ukraine, and the future of Belarus and other democracies relative to the axis of aggressors of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is the National Leader of Belarus and Head of the United Transitional Cabinet. Independent observers determined that Tsikhanouskaya won the Belarusian presidential election on August 9, 2020, defeating the long-standing dictator Alexander Lukashenko. Tsikhanouskaya entered the presidential race after the Lukashenko regime arrested her husband for declaring his own candidacy. The regime forced her into exile, but she inspired mass peaceful protests throughout Belarus. In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Tsikhanouskaya launched an anti-war movement to prevent Belarus' involvement and led underground resistance efforts against Russian troops. She has advocated for the release of over 1,500 political prisoners and free and fair elections, earning her numerous international awards and two Nobel Peace Prize nominations. H.R. McMaster is the Fouad and Michelle Ajami Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He is also the Bernard and Susan Liautaud Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute and lecturer at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. He was the 25th assistant to the president for National Security Affairs. Upon graduation from the United States Military Academy in 1984, McMaster served as a commissioned officer in the United States Army for thirty-four years before retiring as a Lieutenant General in June 2018.

Maria spoke with journalist Keith Gessen and scholar Bryn Rosenfeld about their work trying to make sense of Russian public opinion towards the war in Ukraine, and what it means for our understanding of Russian society today.

This week, Ben and Zach are joined by two organizers based in Palestine-Israel whose lives and political journeys inform powerful reflections on displacement, state oppression, solidarity, and the possibilities of joint struggle.Kastuś, originally from Minsk, has moved through various diasporic contexts—Belarus, Australia, and now Tel Aviv — shares his path from growing up under authoritarianism to joining the Belarusian uprising in 2020, and working with Kompass Media (Ep. 26) and on his own to alleviate harm and expose the reality of state (and state-backed) violence.Mohammed, a 48' Palestinian from Umm al-Fahm, brings deep insight from growing up as part of an activist family and community, and reflects on his experience as a Palestinian student at an Israeli university in the wake of October 7.Our conversation draws provocative parallels between the histories of European Jews and Palestinians—without flattening their differences—as a way to think about shared experiences of dispossession, repression, and resistance. On this 82nd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, it is as important as ever to reject nationalist histories and challenge all forms of domination and hate.Learn more a bout the Polish-Belarusian (EU) Border Refugee crisis and consider supporting activists here!

According to host Cliff May, "Mark Montgomery is an admirable admiral. Another adjective I'd use to describe him: peripatetic. Which is a fancy way of saying he's on the road more than Willie Nelson—whom he does not otherwise resemble."Most recently the retired flag officer has been in Lithuania, which on the east shares a border with the Russian vassal state of Belarus, and on the southwest has a border with the Russian oblast of Kaliningrad, which was called Königsberg until Russia took it from Germany following World War II.You start a war and lose that war, you may lose territory. Which is a good segue to Israel, another country Mark has recently visited. Also on the list is Taiwan.And, perhaps most mysteriously, he very recently spent time in an elaborate private wine cellar in California. Which is odd because he's not much of a drinker. It had something to do with a cyber security conference and... The Godfather?So many mysteries, so little time.

In this episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson sits down with Dr. Helen Sharp, an equine journalist, academic, and co-founder of Groundwork EAS—an equine-assisted charity on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. A leading voice in both equine media and trauma-informed equine work, Dr. Sharp brings a unique blend of artistry, horsemanship, and therapeutic insight to everything she does.She writes for The Irish Field and Farmers Journal, and her career spans journalism, community arts, equine bodywork, and academic research. She holds a PhD and has a background in sculpture and performance art, with her creative and research work shown around the world. As co-director of Groundwork, she serves veterans, trauma survivors, and neurodivergent individuals through programs that fuse nature, horses, and compassionate partnership.This powerful conversation traces her extraordinary journey from the Hebrides to heroin recovery, from performance art to equine-assisted leadership, and why horses continue to be the greatest teachers of all.

Our interview with Sergei Krasikov is a must-listen if you're into trails, open spaces, water sheds and being outside in any weather.   Originally from Belarus, Sergei has made Beacon his home in every sense. He is a community builder and civic volunteer with a special focus on land conservation. As the chair of the Conservation Advisory Committee and founder of the Fishkill Creek Watershed Alliance, he has advanced a city-wide composting program, trail clearing, a water testing program and more. Right now he's focused on an inventory of open spaces that could eventually be adopted into the city's comprehensive plan.    On top of all that, Sergei is running for City Council for the consequential 2026-2028 term. City business aside, it'll come as no surprise that Sergei is an active outdoorsman – a trail runner, swimmer and cross-country skier. We spent a chunk of this interview talking about things listeners can do outside in Beacon and surrounding areas.  Links and further reading:  Earth Day cleanup.

America is on the brink of historic change. In just five days, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth must deliver a classified report to the White House recommending whether President Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807—or go even further and declare martial law. The decision could suspend civil liberties, deploy military forces nationwide, and reshape the nation's legal structure. Meanwhile, President Trump's envoy says a permanent peace deal between Russia and Ukraine may be within reach. But tensions are rising elsewhere, as Russia and Belarus threaten NATO with “preemptive action,” China retaliates with rare earth embargoes, and the U.S. prepares for new military operations in the Middle East and Pacific. Plus—economic turmoil deepens as tariffs drive inflation and consumer shortages, and China accuses the NSA of cyberattacks during the Winter Games.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Craig is joined by former Virginia Tech and current Kentucky head coach Kenny Brooks to talk about Mystics first-round pick Georgia Amoore.

Brooks offers a detailed scouting report, praising her court vision, leadership, and grit: “If you measure her height, you need to measure her heart.” Before wrapping, Brooks also weighs in on Sonia Citron, another Mystics first-rounder, and delivers a bold statement: “She is every bit as good as Paige Bueckers.”

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this episode, Vitaliy Volpov shares his inspiring journey from immigrating to the U.S. from Belarus at the age of 12 to becoming a successful real estate investor, attorney, and entrepreneur based in upstate New York. Despite starting with no real estate background or family support in the field, he began his investing journey in 2011 with a house hack and gradually expanded his portfolio. He details how he used owner-occupied financing to acquire his first duplex and later scaled his portfolio with conventional investor loans. Vitaliy emphasizes learning by doing—figuring out renovations through YouTube, enduring steep learning curves, and dealing with intense property issues, including foundation problems and infestations, which taught him resilience and resourcefulness. His early experiences illustrate how creative problem-solving and a willingness to push through fear are essential to success in real estate. The conversation also explores the evolution of Vitaliy's investing strategies and partnerships. He explains how he grew from solo deals to more complex acquisitions, like a 21-unit apartment conversion, by surrounding himself with the right people—especially a strategic partner with deep construction expertise. Together, they scaled their business to acquire 20-30 units per year, thanks to systems, reliable maintenance teams, and clear operating agreements. Vitaliy provides valuable insights into structuring LLC partnerships, overcoming legal and construction setbacks, and why due diligence, trust, and aligned strengths are critical in any collaboration. He concludes by encouraging new investors to believe in their ability to figure things out, even when things get tough, and to focus on long-term financial freedom.

Why did Trump hit 185 countries with tariffs, even uninhabited islands of penguins near Antarctica, but not Russia and its vassal state Belarus, used to wage Russia's genocidal invasion of Ukraine? It's almost like Trump is a Russian asset, repaying Russia for helping him rise to power twice and for all the easy money he received over the years when no credible institution would lend to this trust-fund kid who went bankrupt six times. But why crash the global economy? The answer only makes sense if you're Putin. As a dictator with no electoral pressure, Putin benefits from destabilizing democracies. By causing economic chaos, he weakens his competitors and fuels backlash against incumbents—exactly what helped Trump return to power in 2024. When you factor in election hacking and influence operations, it becomes clear: crashing the global economy gives the Kremlin an advantage in manipulating elections worldwide. This pressure on elected officials, like Keir Starmer in the UK or Macron in France, plays into Putin's hands. Trump's actions seem to align with that strategy. In this week's bonus episode, we discuss Gene Sharp's From Dictatorship to Democracy from our recent Gaslit Nation book club. On April 7 at 4 PM ET, the Security Committee will present on protecting our digital world in a dystopian era. Then, on April 14, we'll host a live taping with Patrick Guarasci, strategist behind Judge Susan Crawford's victory in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race, to discuss how to fight and win righteous battles, even if you're up against the richest man in the world.  Thank you to all who support Gaslit Nation–we could not make the show without you!  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

The sudden disappearance of 4 American soldiers near Lithuania's border with Belarus received worldwide attention for both the urgency of the story and the mystery. The search and rescue, and the subsequent recovery efforts, have been described as an engineering feat of herculean proportions. How did this happen? What should we consider? Mike "Main Gun" Bajema served more than 20 years in the U.S. military, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army.  As a retired Armor Officer, he commanded multiple units from Company to Battalion, which included not only tanks but M88s - the military vehicle at the center of the story. Mike helps explain the importance of the location where this incident took place, what potential dangers to consider, and what questions to ask moving forward to prevent it from happening again.  SUPPORT OUR MISSION   Shop our gear!  If you'd like to help support SmartHER News' mission of a free, independent, nonpartisan press – here's how you can become a SCOOP insider: https://www.scoop.smarthernews.com/get-the-inside-scoop/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smarthernews/  Website: https://smarthernews.com/  YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/smarthernews
