Hegseth calls the press treasonous. From Fordham to Imus to NewsNation. Preparation beats panic. And a love letter to NYC. Pete Hegseth just labeled the press treasonous. The White House calls reporters the enemy of the state. And somewhere between the hot takes and the hate mail, working journalists still have to show up every day and tell Americans the truth. On this Friday Football edition, Paul sits down with News Nation anchor Connell McShane — one of the most fair, prepared, and genuinely decent people in cable news — to pull back the curtain on how a centrist newsroom actually operates in Trump's America. McShane breaks down his daily discipline, the independent media bias ratings he uses as a north star, and why he believes a free press is both a privilege and a right. From there the conversation widens into something bigger: how to raise kids, coach a football team, and keep your head on straight when the country feels like it's coming apart. Paul and Connell swap stories on Fordham, John Sterling, Mike Breen, Fraunces Tavern, and the ghosts of George Washington. They close with a full Football Friday slate — Bama-Mississippi State, Ohio State-Iowa, Bills-Pats, and the 12U New York City Lions rolling the wishbone into Queens. It's the no-BS, veteran-led conversation independent Americans need heading into the weekend. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a crucial case that could allow the federal government to indefinitely detain undocumented immigrants without the chance for a bond hearing. At the center of the lawsuit is Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa da Cunha, a 20-year U.S. resident, business owner, and father of two with no criminal record, who was denied a bond hearing after being arrested by ICE on his way to work. In this video, we break down the legal, financial, and human realities behind the push for mandatory detention:

In this Q&A episode, Gary, Alan and special guest Miguel Delaney - Chief Football Writer for The Independent answer your questions on the biggest story in Premier League history. Are the public right to condemn City before the appeal has even played out or should we be more cautious, given what happened with the old UEFA case against City? What punishment will City actually get? A fine? A points deduction spread across multiple seasons? Expulsion? And if they do get expelled, what happens to the relegation places? Do two go down, or is it still three? Could City's owners face retrospective fit and proper person test and could they be forced to sell? Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on TWIRx, we head into NCPA 2026 with independent community pharmacy front and center — from artificial intelligence and consolidation to supply-chain economics and policy reform.   We start with the TWIRx Rumor Mill — Behind the Counter Intelligence, looking at three developing stories worth watching.   TWIRx RUMOR MILL — TOP 3   1. Another massive pharmacy transaction may be coming.   The owner of Walgreens Boots Alliance is reportedly nearing a deal to sell UK pharmacy giant Boots to the Weston family in a transaction valued at roughly $9 billion, including debt. The Weston interests already control Loblaw Companies and Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada. No final transaction has been announced, so this remains one to watch.   TWIRx Take: Pharmacy consolidation isn't slowing down. As major organizations continue reorganizing, buying, selling, and vertically integrating assets, what does that mean for independent pharmacy — and where does scale become too much scale?     2. Specialty pharmacy keeps getting bigger — and Cigna sees an enormous opportunity.   At its 2026 Investor Day, Cigna identified a specialty pharmacy and care-services market approaching $500 billion, with Accredo and its specialty operations positioned as major growth drivers.   TWIRx Take: Follow the money. Specialty drugs, rare disease, biologics, infusion and complex medication management continue to reshape pharmacy economics. The question for community pharmacy is: How much of this expanding market can independents capture?   3. AI is moving from pharmacy experiment to pharmacy infrastructure.   Just as NCPA prepares to make AI implementation one of the major topics at its 2026 Annual Convention, health-profession regulators are increasingly discussing governance and accountability surrounding AI. NCPA's programming includes real-world AI implementation and operational applications for community pharmacies.   TWIRx Take: The conversation is changing from "Should pharmacy use AI?" to "How do we use it responsibly, profitably and safely?"   And that takes us directly into our first featured conversation.   SEGMENT 1 John Boos, PharmD, MBA — HendrenAI AI Meets Independent Community Pharmacy   Sponsored by HendrenAI and Independent Pharmacy Cooperative   NCPA 2026 officially opens October 3 in Kansas City, with independent pharmacy owners and innovators gathering to focus on practical ways to increase efficiency, expand services and strengthen pharmacy profitability. AI implementation is specifically among this year's featured topics.   In Part One of our conversation with John Boos, PharmD, MBA of HendrenAI, we set the stage for NCPA 2026 and examine what artificial intelligence can realistically do for independent pharmacy.   This isn't AI replacing the pharmacist.   It's AI giving pharmacists and their teams additional capacity.   As margins tighten and workload continues to increase, the pharmacies that intelligently automate routine work may be able to redirect valuable human time toward the things pharmacists do best: patients, clinical care, relationships and growing the business.   SEGMENT 2 Yvonne Dominguez — Independent Pharmacy Cooperative IPC Acquires IntegralRx   Independent Pharmacy Cooperative recently announced its acquisition of IntegralRx, bringing together two organizations serving independent community pharmacies.   IntegralRx has supported thousands of pharmacies through purchasing opportunities, service and pharmacy relationships. IPC says the acquisition will expand access to products, services and resources designed to help pharmacy owners remain competitive and profitable.   We talk with Yvonne Dominguez about:   Why IPC made the acquisition What IntegralRx brings to the cooperative What changes — and what stays the same — for IntegralRx pharmacies How scale can strengthen independent pharmacy purchasing power Why independent pharmacies increasingly need collaboration without surrendering their independence   TWIRx Question: Can cooperatives create enough collective scale to give independent pharmacies some of the economic leverage enjoyed by vertically integrated competitors?   SEGMENT 3 David A. Hargraves — CEO, Pharma Logistics Jessica Daley — Industry Intelligence Pharmacy Supply Chain: Fighting for Every Dollar   Finally, we turn to an issue that doesn't always generate headlines but directly affects pharmacy profitability:   What happens to medication inventory after a pharmacy can no longer use it?   Pharmacies continue to face significant economic pressure, and many of the largest forces affecting reimbursement remain outside the direct control of the pharmacy owner.   But there are areas pharmacies — and policymakers — can change.   One is pharmaceutical return policy.   The Problem   Pharmacy economics are being squeezed from multiple directions.   Reimbursement pressure. Inventory expense. Expired medication. Operational costs. Supply-chain complexity.   When margins are razor thin, seemingly small inefficiencies become substantial.   The Opportunity   Medication return policies represent an area where pharmacies may have an opportunity to recover value that otherwise disappears from the business.   Virginia's regulations, for example, specifically address circumstances under which drugs can be returned within the supply chain while maintaining appropriate storage conditions, documentation and product integrity.   The Bigger Conversation   With David A. Hargraves, CEO of Pharma Logistics, and Jessica Daley of Industry Intelligence, we examine how smarter pharmaceutical returns and responsible policy reform could improve pharmacy economics.   Closing Thought   As we head into NCPA 2026, the independent pharmacy conversation isn't simply about surviving another difficult year.   It's about finding leverage.   Leverage through AI.   Leverage through cooperative scale.   Leverage through better supply-chain economics.   And leverage through policy change.   Independent pharmacy may not control every economic force affecting the profession — but this week's TWIRx demonstrates that there are still areas where pharmacy owners, innovators and advocates can take action.   We'll see you in Kansas City for NCPA 2026.

Paul Rieckhoff is on the courthouse steps in Foley Square, filing suit against the state of New York. The question in front of the court is as old as the republic and as urgent as this news cycle: does the right to vote derive from citizenship, or from joining a political party? In New York, 25.4% of the electorate — 3.1 million voters — is shut out of the primaries that actually decide most elections. Public schools. Public workers. Public machines. Private party gatekeeping. It is unfair, un-American, and the plaintiffs argue, unconstitutional. This episode captures the launch of Let Vets Vote, a national effort led by Independent Veterans of America to open closed primaries across the country, starting in the state with the most restrictive rules in America. You'll hear from lead counsel Chad Peace of the Independent Voter Project, New York litigator Sam Gregory, and 32-year Army veteran Kristen Rouse — who served three tours in Afghanistan and was forced to join a party she didn't believe in just to cast a meaningful vote. If you've ever felt like the two-party machine was rigged against you, this is the fight. And it's just getting started. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Let Vets Vote: Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Speaking at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a sweeping outline detailing the administration's vision for the future of the U.S. armed forces. In a speech flanked by junior officers and non-commissioned officers, Hegseth laid out plans for a fundamental restructuring of the Department of Defense - a transition marked by significant ideological shifts, the dismantling of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and the confirmation of plans to eliminate 20% of America's top military general officers and admirals. At the center of this transformation is Project Meridian, a new 120-day government study commissioned to map out technological dominance across next-generation operational domains - including artificial intelligence, autonomous weapons, subterranean warfare, and lunar security.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! And sometimes we get to talk to stars about their own B-Sides! Today is a big one for us. The legend Josh Hartnett is on the podcast to talk about his new film Verity and dish on some of his B-Sides, including Town & Country, August, and Valley of the Gods. We chat with Hartnett about his growth as an actor, his memories on the chaotic set of the Warren Beatty-starrer Town & Country, his love for the underseen August, his joy making Lucky Number Slevin, and the luck and stress of having both his big movie (Verity) open mere days before his big new show (Below). We make mention of this fascinating Vanity Fair piece from 2001, as well as his intentional disappearance from Hollywood in the mid-2000s. There's also a brief mention of his potential regret in dismissing a chance at playing Batman for Christopher Nolan early on.

What can a modern revenue management system (RMS) actually do for an independent hotel? In this episode, David Millili sits down with Steve Taft, VP of Partnerships at  ampliphi RMS, and Tim Kolman, VP of Sales at ampliphi RMS, to discuss how modern revenue management systems are helping independent hotels compete with larger brands.For many 40-room independent hotels, revenue management is still something owners and operators handle at the end of a long day. From check-ins and check-outs to laundry, breakfast, maintenance, and guest service, there is often little time left for analyzing demand and optimizing room rates.In this episode, we discuss:Why independent hotels have historically been underserved by hospitality technologyHow a 40-room independent hotel can approach hotel pricing and revenue managementWhy legacy RMS technology created the perception that revenue management requires extensive manpowerThe difference between an all-in-one hotel technology stack and a best-in-breed technology strategyIf you're a hotel owner, general manager, revenue manager, hospitality technology professional, or independent hotel operator interested in hotel revenue optimization, RMS technology, AI for hotels, dynamic pricing, RevPAR, commercial strategy, and independent hotel technology, this episode is for you.Watch the FULL EPISODE on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bmg2EWB-8NU Links:Steve on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevetaft/Tim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tkolman/ampliphi RMS: https://www.getampliphi.com/For full show notes head to: https://themodernhotelier.com/episode/337Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-..Join the conversation on today's episode on The Modern Hotelier LinkedIn pageConnect with Steve and David:Steve: https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%8E...David: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-mil.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have condemned photographers they say spent hours watching Archie and Lilibet's school, with police now investigating the incident. According to ITV News and Sky News, two men carrying backpacks were spotted near the school before leaving in a rented van. The Sussexes' spokesperson called the alleged behavior “extraordinarily reckless,” while details of the incident have reportedly been passed to the committee reviewing the family's request for police protection.The incident brings Harry's long-running security battle back into focus just weeks after Archie and Lilibet changed schools. Meanwhile, Harry's potential connection with Jeff Bezos and Amazon is attracting criticism, with The Independent questioning whether an alliance with one of the world's wealthiest businessmen sits comfortably alongside Harry's public advocacy on issues including climate change and burnout.Harry's sustainable travel initiative Travalyst has also reported a small financial loss for 2025, which the organization describes as planned investment, while Meghan's latest As Ever promotional video has received the full parody treatment online.And William and Catherine joined Sir Kevin Sinfield as he completed another stage of his seven-ultramarathons-in-seven-days challenge supporting motor neurone disease charities. Catherine also took time with a nervous young girl during a visit to Headingley Stadium before later turning up on residents' doorsteps to help passengers aboard a community minibus.Questions this episode answers: What happened outside Archie and Lilibet's school? Why are police investigating photographers near the Sussex children? What did Harry and Meghan say about the incident? Could the incident affect Prince Harry's security review? What is Harry's connection to Jeff Bezos and Amazon? Did Travalyst lose money? Why is Meghan's As Ever video being parodied?

What if one sign of good leadership is that your team needs you less?In this episode of The Management Minute, Dr. Donita Brown reflects on a lesson she has experienced both as a mother and as a leader: doing your job well sometimes means becoming less necessary.After recently dropping her daughter off at college, Dr. Brown found herself thinking about the strange tension that comes with watching someone become more independent. As a parent, the goal was never to remain the answer to everything. It was to teach, support, and eventually trust her daughters to handle more on their own.Leadership follows a similar pattern.When you first take responsibility for a team, people may come to you for decisions, approvals, answers, and direction. Being the person everyone needs can feel good. But effective leadership isn't about keeping people dependent on you.It's about developing people who can make decisions, take ownership, handle responsibilities you once carried, and even make a few safe mistakes along the way.Because the manager who stays in the middle of everything may feel important, but the manager who develops a team that can operate without constant involvement is building something that can last.Who on your team needs less of you than they did a year ago? And can you let that actually be the win?If your organization is working to develop stronger, more independent leaders and teams, Dr. Donita Brown leads in-person and virtual workshops on leadership, followership, and resilience.About The Management Minute:Practical leadership and management ideas you can actually use. The Management Minute with Dr. Donita Brown delivers short, actionable conversations on leadership, communication, resilience, workplace culture, and professional growth.Bring The Management Minute to Your OrganizationDr. Donita Brown leads in-person and virtual workshops designed to help leaders and teams communicate better, build resilience, and strengthen the way they work together.Interested in bringing a workshop to your organization?

One week after Climate Week, hosts Adam Lake and Katie Lanegran drop their second live episode, recorded on stage with three sharp voices reshaping how climate stories actually reach people: comedian and content creator Evan Lazarus, veteran journalist-turned-independent producer Tracy Wolf (WereWHOLF Media, formerly of CBS and ABC News climate units), and activist-consultant Jerome Foster, a former Biden environmental justice advisor.The conversation starts with Evan's viral TikTok theory that the escalating chaos on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City might be linked to the evaporating Great Salt Lake releasing heavy metals into the air. The clip is funny, specific, and unexpectedly serious. It reached a PhD student who began researching the psychological effects of those emissions. That moment becomes the episode's thesis: climate content that clicks often doesn't look like climate content at all. It sneaks in through reality TV, restaurant recaps, comedy, and the platforms people already scroll.Tracy describes leaving shrinking network newsrooms that treat climate as “service journalism” they can cut when ad dollars tighten. She argues the old 6 p.m. news model no longer owns the conversation; audiences now control what they watch, when they watch it, and who they trust. Independent creators can sometimes move the needle faster and cheaper than a $20,000 network package that airs once.Jerome focuses on turning awareness into action. Most people already know the crisis exists. The job is making them feel they belong in the story—small, concrete next steps (vote, plant, show up, follow the money) instead of another lecture. Authenticity consistently beats polished messaging. Entertainment is not a betrayal of the science; it is often the only way exhausted audiences stay in the room.The panel covers the death of the press-release-to-journalist pipeline, the ethics of brand deals versus audience-funded work, why newsrooms keep slashing climate desks, and the messy personal paths that brought each of them here—middle-school Earth Day light-offs, python hunts in the Everglades, Friday school strikes that grew into policy wins. A rapid-fire round bans words like “ambition” and “net zero,” debates hope versus urgency, and lands on the same practical advice: be concise, stop pretending every story is good news, and let people hear a real voice.The episode is both a dispatch from the front lines of climate communications and a how-to for anyone trying to make the issue land with people who are not already living and breathing it. Content that clicks does not shout “climate.” It meets people where they already are and gives them a reason to stay. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Most people assume their financial professional is free to recommend whatever solution is best for them. In many cases, that freedom is more limited than you may think.In this episode, we cover what it actually means for a financial advisor to be independent. We start with a simple analogy: the difference between a retail store that only sells one brand of product and a store that carries the best products regardless of brand. Employees at both stores may genuinely want to help, but only one has the freedom to adjust their recommendation to your specific need.We then walk through four conflicts that can eliminate independence: proprietary investment products, revenue sharing arrangements, sales quotas, and conflicts that arise when an advisor works within a larger financial institution. Each of these can shape the recommendations you receive in ways that are difficult to detect.We also cover the connection between independence and fee-only compensation, why the choice of custodian matters, and the questions we believe every person should ask before engaging a financial advisor.Thanks for listening!For more details, check out our blog post https://pw-wm.com/learn/financial-planning/is-your-financial-advisor-truly-independent/

What are the right opening hours for your shop, and what should you actually be using to make that decision?Hi, I'm retail strategist and founder of Resilient Retail Club, Catherine Erdly.This episode is brought to you by our sponsor Capify - business funding made simple. Find out more at capify.comEarlier this year I visited Jedburgh and Kelso in the Scottish Borders for my A to Z of independent retail, and I made a very London-centric mistake. I went on a Sunday. The cafes were open, the chains were open, and between the two towns I found exactly one independent shop open. When I shared it on Instagram, it started one of the liveliest conversations I've had all year. Should independent shops open on Sundays? Is it worth opening if the footfall isn't there? Do customers now expect you to be open seven days a week?So rather than tell you what I think, I asked eight independent shopkeepers how they actually decide their opening hours, and their answers couldn't be more different. One owner cut her week from six days to four and saw her sales go up. Another went to seven days a week and has just moved into bigger premises. One closes on Mondays because the whole village does. Another stays open on the afternoon her neighbours shut. You'll hear all of them in their own words, from Peckham to Pembrokeshire and Bantry to Lyme Regis.By the end of the episode you'll know what to weigh up before you change your hours, why one quiet Tuesday tells you far less than you think, and the one thing all eight shopkeepers agreed on, whatever days they choose to open. If you've ever stood in an empty shop wondering whether it was worth unlocking the door today, or you're deciding what to do over Christmas, this one's for you.Chapters00:00 Why I found just one independent shop open on a Sunday01:51 Consistency, the rhythm of your town and trial and error06:24 Who covers the hours, and what the numbers actually say10:26 When the decision goes beyond the numbersResources and linksFree Christmas guide and week-by-week planner: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/christmasEpisode 321, Retail Christmas Forecast: What the Summer Numbers Really Tell Us: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast-episode/uk-retail-sales-summer-2026/Tell me your opening hours on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilientretailclub/All episodes of the Resilient Retail Game Plan: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast/Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/catherineerdlyMentioned in this episode:Capify

Cornell University is launching an independent investigation into how the school handled gang rape allegations by a former student against members of a fraternity. ABC's Peter Charalambous has the latest.

Paul Rieckhoff joins the MSNBC table with Nikki McCann Ramirez of Rolling Stone and former Harris senior advisor Mike Nellis to break down the political sucking chest wound of Trump's Iran war — and how it is bleeding into every corner of the 2026 midterms. From Texas, where Republicans are burning nine figures to defend a state that was never supposed to be competitive, to Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, and Alaska, where independent veterans are running as kryptonite to GOP incumbents, this is the clearest read yet on why Trump is now more unpopular with true independents than Nixon at the height of Watergate. Then MSNBC Pentagon reporter Priya Sridher joins with exclusive reporting on the USS Lincoln, the carrier that just broke a modern deployment record, at least eight suicide attempts in the strike group, and a 19-year-old sailor charged with malingering after jumping overboard. Paul connects the dots: an abused force, an unauthorized war, a Pentagon purging 20% of its generals and admirals, and a political class — in both parties — that still hasn't figured out how to stop any of it.

A 158-page independent review of the September 10, 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk found significant security failures at Utah Valley University before and during the event. According to the report, the university did not conduct a formal security assessment, did not create a written event action plan and applied its own major-event policies inconsistently despite obvious risk factors, including Kirk's high profile, expected protests, uncertain attendance and the use of an outdoor courtyard surrounded by elevated vantage points. Only three university police officers were initially assigned to secure an event that ultimately drew several thousand people, and there was no structured coordination with Kirk's private security team or outside law enforcement. The report also found there was no dedicated real-time monitoring of campus security cameras, no meaningful line-of-sight assessment and no comprehensive pre-event security briefing.The review also found that Utah Valley University allowed Turning Point USA to control key decisions that directly affected security, including ticketing and the choice to keep the event outdoors even after concerns were raised about the venue.

Who is winning in the restaurant business right now?This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Rich Shank, senior principal with Technomic.We had Shank on the podcast to help us understand the performance of independent restaurants and why they can generate sales growth while locations continue closing. We talk about a lot of other topics on the podcast, too, including the state of the pizza business and why restaurants should not sell their soul for the hot new thing. We also discuss why chain restaurants may be falling out of favor with consumers.We're talking independent restaurants on the podcast so please check it out. 

We start by looking at three unresolved issues: the tradeoff between housing affordability and protecting existing homeowners, potential ethical concerns around choosing whichever credit-scoring model helps a borrower qualify, and the challenge of protecting AI from foreign attempts to exploit or “steal” it. Robbie interviews Fairway Independent Mortgage's Steve Jacobsen on the evolving nature of mortgage lending, product expansion, leadership and more. And the bond selloff continues despite weakening economic data, with long-term yields surging amid inflation, federal borrowing, issuance, hedging, and positioning pressures, leaving the market dependent on materially weaker PCE or payrolls data to break the bearish momentum.This week's podcasts are presented by Gateless, intelligent automation that gives you the competitive edge. Gateless solutions reduce costs, deliver a superior borrower experience, and mitigate risk by automating tasks and decisions historically made by people. Welcome to The Chrisman Commentary, your go-to daily mortgage news podcast, where industry insights meet expert analysis. Hosted by Robbie Chrisman, this podcast delivers the latest updates on mortgage rates, capital markets, and the forces shaping the housing finance landscape. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just looking to stay informed, you'll get clear, concise breakdowns of market trends and economic shifts that impact the mortgage world.

A 158-page independent review of the September 10, 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk found significant security failures at Utah Valley University before and during the event. According to the report, the university did not conduct a formal security assessment, did not create a written event action plan and applied its own major-event policies inconsistently despite obvious risk factors, including Kirk's high profile, expected protests, uncertain attendance and the use of an outdoor courtyard surrounded by elevated vantage points. Only three university police officers were initially assigned to secure an event that ultimately drew several thousand people, and there was no structured coordination with Kirk's private security team or outside law enforcement. The report also found there was no dedicated real-time monitoring of campus security cameras, no meaningful line-of-sight assessment and no comprehensive pre-event security briefing.The review also found that Utah Valley University allowed Turning Point USA to control key decisions that directly affected security, including ticketing and the choice to keep the event outdoors even after concerns were raised about the venue. Because TPUSA handled registration, university officials reportedly lacked an accurate estimate of how large the crowd would become, and police did not request additional outside resources even after attendance swelled into the thousands. The report did not conclude that university officials acted maliciously or with willful disregard for safety, but it identified numerous shortcomings serious enough to produce nearly 150 recommendations for reform.

Growing a franchise system means leading people who are already leaders themselves.In this episode of The Franchise Advisory Board Podcast, ClientTether CEO Dave Hansen sits down with Jason Sant, Owner and CEO of Team Up Athletics, for a practical conversation about franchise leadership, communication, technology, field support, and the lessons that come from growing a young franchise system.Team Up Athletics began franchising in 2022 and has grown to 46 operating locations. The business serves schools, recreation programs, athletic teams, and businesses with uniforms, equipment, apparel, promotional products, and related services.Jason explains that one of the earliest challenges of franchising was learning how to support owners with different personalities, professional backgrounds, experience levels, and approaches to business.Rather than treating that diversity only as a challenge, Team Up Athletics has worked to turn it into a strength.The company encourages owners to communicate with one another, uses its Franchise Advisory Board to gather feedback, stays connected through regular meetings and internal communication channels, and continually evaluates where systems and processes need to improve.Thanks to ClientTether, our episode sponsor. ClientTether provides franchise CRM software that helps franchise brands organize lead communication, automate follow-up, and maintain visibility across customer and franchise development processes.Jason also discusses Team Up Athletics' approach to technology. The brand has moved from spreadsheets and more manual workflows toward proprietary software designed to simplify the work happening behind the scenes. His guiding question when evaluating changes is straightforward: Will this make the franchisee's life easier? That philosophy applies beyond technology.Jason talks about using KPIs and milestones to know when an owner may need additional coaching, while recognizing that franchisees are independent business owners who need room to operate. He also shares why advice sometimes has more influence when it comes from another successful franchisee instead of the corporate office.Throughout the episode, listeners will learn:• How Team Up Athletics supports owners with different personalities and backgrounds• Why open communication with franchisees can strengthen the entire system• How Franchise Advisory Boards can help leadership hear different perspectives• Why peer-to-peer coaching can increase adoption of best practices• How KPIs help determine when a franchisee needs more support• Why staying connected to the field keeps franchisor leadership relevant• What Team Up Athletics looks for in franchise field support• How technology can simplify operations without replacing strong leadershipFor growing brands, franchise management software and other operating tools can provide useful infrastructure, but Jason's experience reinforces a larger point: systems are only as valuable as the people using them and the problems they solve.Jason also reflects on the reality of becoming a franchisor. Growth does not happen automatically once franchise agreements are signed. Leaders still have to show up, build relationships, refine the system, and support owners as they build their businesses.Thanks for listening to the Franchise Advisory Board Podcast, where we explore the ideas, strategies, and people shaping the future of franchising.If you found today's episode valuable, please subscribe, rate, and share it with a fellow franchise leader.

The number one threat to America isn't Donald Trump — it's AI. That's Paul Rieckhoff's argument on episode 635, and the New York Times just handed him fresh evidence: OpenAI's own technology went rogue this summer and meddled with three US government websites without the lab's knowledge. NATO, the UN, Congress, the World Bank — the institutions built to hold the line — can't keep up. Congress isn't even in session. This is a failure of imagination on par with the run-up to 9/11, and it demands bipartisan regulation and international cooperation before AI touches the grid, the military, or the vote. From there Paul turns to the Iran war — a sucking chest wound now hitting the GOP at the pump as gas and diesel prices soar and Republicans finally start calling on Trump to end it. Independent veteran candidates like Brian Bengs, Seth Bodnar, Todd Achilles, and Dan Osborn are making the war a central issue. Then Paul lays out why he is personally suing the state of New York this week alongside Chad Peace and Independent Veterans of America to crack open closed primaries — starting in New York, then Oregon, Kansas, and Louisiana. 3.7 million New Yorkers are shut out of the primaries that decide their representation. Veterans swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a party. This is how we level the playing field. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

This episode kicks off with a listener email from someone facing a conundrum: she finds out about getting tenure within a few weeks of turning 40, all while wondering if she should ditch academia and go to medical school instead. Kristin and I dig into what it would actually take to start med school at 40: the family logistics, the physical toll of taking overnight call as you get older, the financial reality of avoiding debt at that age, and whether it's even possible to "test drive" medicine before committing. From there, we get into an update on the health systems behaving badly that I've been calling out, including why I keep getting cease and desist letters from hospital systems but never from insurance companies, and what's really going on when hospitals fire independent doctors and replace them with more expensive locums. We wrap up with a couple extra questions: whether it's weird for a doctor to use their iPhone flashlight during an exam, and a genuinely tough one about whether you'd want to get tested for a fatal genetic disease like Huntington's if it ran in your family. Takeaways: A listener asked whether it's worth pursuing medical school at 40 instead of pursuing tenure, prompting a discussion of the financial, physical, and family challenges of a late-career switch to medicine. Independent medical practices are increasingly being pushed out by hospital systems in favor of contracts with private equity-backed groups, sometimes at a higher cost. Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) laws, like Oregon's, are gaining momentum in more states as a way to limit corporate control over medical practices. Will has received cease and desist letters from hospital systems for his content but has never received one from a health insurance company. Will and Kristin discuss whether they'd want to get genetic testing for a fatal disease like Huntington's if it ran in their family. — We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

A transatlantic journey, military-grade security operations, and a multimillion-dollar price tag: a breakdown of Donald Trump's visit to his Doonbeg golf resort in Ireland. While officially framed as a diplomatic state visit with Irish leadership, federal procurement records and flight logistics reveal a massive taxpayer-funded undertaking centered around a private commercial property. From Secret Service golf cart contracts to casual remarks that unsettled delicate regional politics in Northern Ireland, this video explores the operational costs, legal conflicts, and political fallout of presidential travel to personal business assets.

Andrea James has led national campaigns to reunite families by demanding clemency from high-level officials for incarcerated women and men. Now, she is running for governor with a platform focused on rent stabilization, lower energy costs, free childcare and stopping the construction of a new $360M women's prison. Related Links: Andrea James' Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, BlueskyCredits:Production/Post-production: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Today Razib talks to Kyle Orton. Orton is a freelance researcher, writer, and editor specializing in security and foreign policy, with a particular focus on the Middle East, the Syrian war, regional geopolitics, and terrorist movements including the Islamic State (ISIS), Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). His work also ranges widely across history, including early Christianity, Islam and its relationship with the West, intelligence and espionage, the Reformation, the English Civil War, Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union, the First World War, Communism and the Cold War, and pre-Revolutionary Iran. Orton writes the newsletter It Can Always Get Worse, where he covers contemporary security issues alongside history, religion, intelligence, books, and occasional film reviews. His writing has appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, UnHerd, Newsweek, The Independent, The New Arab, and International Business Times. Orton and Razib's conversation begins with his post, The Sojourn of Arculf: An Eyewitness to "Early Islamic" Jerusalem - A Frankish bishop sheds some light on a historical dark age. Their discussion continues with probing the possibility that Islam as we know it truly did not exist any recognizable form before the 690s AD, and that the early "Saracens" as their Christian enemies referred to them were in fact a schismatic group of monotheists whose beliefs were adjacent to that of the Jews. Orton also discusses the role of Muhammad, or rather, the lack of the role of Muhammad, in the early years of the Islamic Caliphate. They also explore the possibility that later commentators largely attributed the negative reputation of Islam's first dynastic Caliphate, the Umayyads, to the reality that they would not recognize them as Muslims. Finally, Orton talks about the reality that some of the layers of text within the Koran seem far older than the time of Muhammad, perhaps by a century or so.  

Do you ever sit down to play with your child and, five minutes later, find yourself thinking about the washing, dinner or everything else you could be doing? Zoe does too.In this special episode, created in partnership with Melissa & Doug, Zoe talks to Dr Martha Deiros Collado, a clinical psychologist specialising in parenting and child development, about why play can feel difficult for adults, especially when we're used to being busy and productive. Dr Martha explains how play helps children process their day and connect with us, and shares simple ways to make it more enjoyable for parents too.You don't need to invent elaborate games or become your child's entertainer. Sometimes five or ten minutes together, following their lead, is enough. And if you're hoping to encourage independent play, Dr Martha has a wonderfully simple idea you can try before they even come home from school.

Because TPUSA handled registration, university officials reportedly lacked an accurate estimate of how large the crowd would become, and police did not request additional outside resources even after attendance swelled into the thousands. The report did not conclude that university officials acted maliciously or with willful disregard for safety, but it identified numerous shortcomings serious enough to produce nearly 150 recommendations for reform. Kirk's family has since issued a wrongful-death notice against the university, alleging that reckless security decisions contributed to his death, while UVU President Jon Anderson has acknowledged the report's findings and said the school has begun implementing changes.to contact me:bobbbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Charlie Kirk assassination report highlights several security failures at Utah Valley UniversityBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Recorded live in front of an invited audience of senior sports-industry figures at Teneo's London offices overlooking St Paul's Cathedral, this Unofficial Partner event asked a deliberately awkward question about the summer of 2026: not what happened, but what actually changed. Three set-pieces framed the conversation — the men's FIFA World Cup in the United States, the European Athletics Championships, the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and the Commonwealth Games — and the panel picked apart what worked, what didn't, and what will still matter next year. Beth Barrett Wild steps away from the ECB after running the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 and leading on the women's game, having help build the competition side of The Hundred since 2018.Jon Dutton OBE is chief executive of the British Olympic Association, formerly CEO of Rugby League World Cup 2021 and CEO at British Cycling.Miguel Delaney is chief football writer at The Independent and author of States of Play, the award-winning investigation into how state money and sportswashing reshaped modern football.Unofficial Partner is grateful to our friends at Teneo for hosting the event at its offices overlooking St Paul's in London, and to Neil Daugherty and his team for their hospitality and expertise. This episode is sponsored by Leaders in SportNext week we're heading to Stamford Bridge with the global sports industry for Leaders Week London, and this is your final call to join us.Over two days you can hear directly from the leaders behind some of sport's biggest organisations, get in front of the people you've been chasing all year, and turn a few packed days in London into months' worth of business.It's a rare chance to have that much of the industry, and that much opportunity, under one roof.We're there every year, and we can vouch for the value of having the right people in the same place.

On this episode of “Predictable w/ Stu,” Stu Burguiere reveals the latest on his Predictable Midterm Consensus and breaks down what the Senate makeup could look like post-election season in November. Plus, an investigation into how so-called “Independent” candidates are affecting the polls in several states around the country. Then, Mick Bransfield of Kingston Chase Consulting joins for a look at the current legal issues facing prediction markets as they gain popularity nationwide. And today's edition of “Candidate Countdown!” features a very handsome and polished race out of Georgia.

The Iran war isn't just a foreign policy story anymore — it's the political story that's about to reshape 2026. Trump's own base is fracturing, GOP pollsters in Iowa are quietly warning that R+15 districts are within the margin of error, and a war powers vote just came within a single vote of passing as Tillis, Murkowski, Collins, and Rand Paul crossed the aisle. Meanwhile, John Fetterman lined up with the president. The rigged two-party system is showing its seams, and independents — now the largest voting bloc in America — are the ones deciding where this goes. Paul and the panel break down why this moment rhymes with 2006 (and maybe the late '70s), how gas and diesel prices are welding the war to kitchen-table economics, and why so many House Republicans in safe seats have never run a real general election in their lives. Plus: the dark money tsunami about to hit, the governors' races quietly slipping into play, and the four independent veteran Senate candidates — Tod Achilles, Dan Osborn, Seth Bodnar, and Bob Chew — running disciplined races against unpopular incumbents in both parties.
