In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, everything clicks into place. This is the moment where belief turns into inevitability. After a week of learning funnels, sales, leverage, and speed, today's focus is on what actually determines whether this time will be different - and why so many smart, capable people get stuck right before the breakthrough. This session isn't about tactics alone; it's about identity, commitment, and making the shift from “trying” to deciding. McCall, Kathryn, and I walk you through the six missing keys that stop people from ever reaching their first One Comma Club milestone - and how to remove each one for good. From choosing the right long-term path, to becoming resourceful instead of resource-limited, to selling quietly when you need camouflage, this episode is designed to remove every remaining excuse. We also dive deep into courage - those critical 20 seconds that separate people who talk about success from people who create it - and why community is the final force that makes momentum unstoppable. Key Highlights: ◼️The three paths to scaling your funnel skills - and how to choose the one that fits your life and goals ◼️Why resourcefulness, not resources, is the real unlock to funding your next move ◼️How to sell and land clients privately through DMs when you need discretion or confidence ◼️The power of “20 seconds of insane courage” and why hesitation is more dangerous than failure ◼️How commitment and community turn belief into inevitable results This episode is where everything gets cemented. You're no longer wondering if funnels, selling, or business can work for you - you're deciding that they will. When the compass is clear, the excuses are gone, and the courage is activated, momentum becomes unavoidable. This is the point where success stops being a hope and starts becoming a process you can't unsee. ◼️⁠https://onecommaclub.com⁠ ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

Eugene Kirpichov is Co-Founder and Executive Director of Work on Climate, a global community helping professionals take action on climate across industries and disciplines. Originally created to help people transition into climate-related careers, the organization is now evolving toward a deeper goal: empowering individuals to become climate leaders—people who transform their companies, sectors, and communities from within.In this episode of Inevitable, Kirpichov shares why the “get a climate job” model is no longer enough, and why systemic change depends on how professionals use their power. The conversation explores the concept of regenerative economics, the breakdown of siloed climate thinking, and the need for new economic architectures that support resilience, not extraction. We also dive into what it means to build bottom-up leadership, how Work on Climate is shifting its model, and why now is a critical moment to invest in alternatives that go beyond federal policy.Episode recorded on Jan 22, 2026 (Published on Feb 3, 2026)In this episode, we cover:(0:00) Intro(2:40) Climate as one piece of a larger systemic crisis(7:19) An overview of Work on Climate(11:28) Why the climate job market isn't enough(17:08) The shift from jobs to leadership and power(24:49) What a regenerative economy actually means(32:00) Building new economic operating systems(37:00) The Work on Climate member experience (46:49) Final thoughts on reclaiming powerLinks:Eugene Kirpichov on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugenekirpichovWork on Climate: https://workonclimate.org/ Enjoyed this episode?

Stu Landesberg is Co-founder and CEO of Seneca, a company developing autonomous aerial systems to detect and suppress wildfires before they grow out of control. Designed for rapid initial response, Seneca's technology deploys robotic aircraft that launch within minutes, helping protect homes, infrastructure, and communities in fire-prone regions.In this episode of Inevitable, Landesberg shares why he left Grove—his first company focused on sustainable consumer goods—to tackle what he sees as a civilization-level challenge: early wildfire intervention. The conversation explores how climate conditions, outdated fire cycles, and insurance market failures have converged to threaten life in the American West. Landesberg walks through Seneca's approach to changing that trajectory: distributed strike teams of large autonomous suppression copters, built in the U.S., designed to reach fires faster than any existing response method. He also unpacks the product's potential for mop-up operations, prescribed burns, and utility asset protection.In this episode, we cover:(2:40) Wildfire as a threat to housing and the economy(10:07) The urgent need for faster fire response(15:12) Why helicopters aren't a scalable solution(20:03) New use cases beyond initial attack(28:25) What autonomy looks like in practice(33:11) Why Seneca isn't just another drone company(38:21) Wildfire as a climate and national security risk(46:18) Seneca's first deployments and what's nextLinks:Stuart Landesberg on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuartlandesbergSeneca: https://seneca.com/ Enjoyed this episode?

What happens when college sports operate without anyone truly in charge?Exactly what you're seeing now.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges takes on two developments that point to a looming breakdown in college athletics — and neither one has a clean solution.Norm begins with a court ruling involving former Alabama basketball player Charles Bediako, who declared for the NBA Draft, went undrafted, played professionally, and is now seeking to return to college basketball. A judge has temporarily ruled that the NCAA cannot stop him. Norm explains why this isn't just about one player — it's about the precedent. If this door stays open, what stops waves of undrafted football and basketball players from attempting pro careers, failing, and then pouring back into college sports with eligibility intact?From there, Norm pivots to college football's playoff mess. Despite widespread agreement that a 16-team playoff would have fixed most of this year's problems, the SEC and Big Ten failed — again — to reach consensus. Instead, financial motivations, conference power plays, and a proposed 24-team playoff loaded with byes killed progress. The result: a flawed 12-team system that left deserving programs out while frustrating fans who just want fairness and clarity.Throughout the episode, Norm returns to one central theme: the NCAA is powerless, university presidents won't act, and conferences are chasing money at the expense of the sport itself. When no one's willing to lead, chaos isn't a surprise — it's the outcome.Chapters00:00:00 – Just wondering about chaos coming to college sports00:01:38 – The Charles Bediako case and a dangerous precedent00:02:23 – Declaring for the NBA too early — and wanting back in00:03:12 – A judge says the NCAA can't stop it00:04:00 – What happens if this ruling holds00:05:00 – Undrafted players returning to college football00:05:58 – “We are talking chaos here”00:06:57 – The NCAA as a toothless tiger00:07:48 – Sponsor break: Bob's Steak & Chop House00:08:25 – Full Moon Healing Balm and aging realities00:09:10 – Why this year's College Football Playoff failed00:10:11 – Why a 16-team playoff made sense00:11:20 – The Big Ten's 24-team proposal and money motives00:12:20 – Why 24 teams is “way too clumsy”00:13:16 – Deadlines missed and progress stalled00:14:03 – Remembering the four-team playoff disaster00:14:52 – Power brokers vs. fans and the sport itself00:15:16 – Sponsors and closing thoughts00:16:08 – Final sign-offCheck us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

Robert Kraft shared some secrets from the NFL saying it'll expand to 18 games while making every team play an international game. From its growing presence to Bad Bunny at the Halftime Show, this isn't that surprising to find out.

Re-industrializing America sounds bold. Necessary. Inevitable.But on factory floors across the country, automation keeps stalling before it ever delivers real value.Robots sit unused. Projects drag on for years. Leaders know automation is essential, yet decisions stall, risks get avoided, and the same problems repeat. This episode goes straight to the heart of why.Jan Griffiths is joined by Søren Peters, CEO of HowToRobot, a global marketplace helping manufacturers source and implement robotics more effectively. Søren has spent decades leading digital transformation and operational change, giving him a front-row seat to why automation struggles inside real plants, not PowerPoint decks.This conversation moves past hype. It tackles the real blockers: fear-based leadership, siloed decision-making, short-term contracts, poor education, and a complete lack of ownership once robots hit the shop floor. Automation doesn't fail because the technology isn't ready. It fails because organizations aren't.Søren challenges leaders to rethink how they assess risk, train their workforce, and take responsibility for change. Buying a robot isn't a technology decision. It's a leadership decision. And without courage, clarity, and accountability, even the smartest automation strategy will collapse.If the automotive industry is serious about rebuilding manufacturing capacity, closing labor gaps, and preparing for an AI-enabled future, leaders must stop waiting for certainty and start owning the change.Themes DiscussedWhy automation failures are leadership failures, not technology failuresThe risk-avoidance mindset is slowing manufacturing transformationHow siloed decision-making kills automation on the shop floorWhy education matters beyond engineers and integratorsThe hidden impact of short-term supplier contracts on ROIWhat successful automation leaders do differentlyWhy ownership and courage matter more than toolWatch the full video on YouTube - click hereThis episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn moreFeatured GuestSøren Peters is the CEO of HowToRobot, a global industrial robot marketplace that helps manufacturers find, evaluate, and implement automation solutions more effectively.

What would you do differently if you knew you couldn't fail? Not hoped. Not wished. But knew. In this episode of the Triumphant Podcast, we unpack a truth that changes everything: Your goals aren't just possible. They're inevitable.When you stop treating your dreams like a “maybe” and start living like the outcome is already decided, something shifts. You move differently. You speak differently. You make decisions from certainty instead of fear.This episode goes deep into:Why identity determines resultsHow the Law of Assumption actually works in real lifeWhat “living in the end” really meansWhy people who win don't act desperate or rushedHow inevitability creates calm, confidence, and fierce executionFrom business and money to health, relationships, and purpose, the people who get what they want aren't guessing. They've already decided who they are and where they're going.This isn't about hype or pretending. It's about alignment. Because when something is inevitable, there's no panic. There's no plan B. There's just movement. Your job isn't to worry about if it's going to happen. Your job is to start moving like it already is.Say it out loud: My goal is inevitable. Then show up accordingly. Go get those dreams, I believe in you!

"Baskin and Phelps" discuss how MLB owners are reportedly mad at the Dodgers for how much they're spending, and talk about whether or not a lockout in 2027 is inevitable.

The third hour of "Baskin and Phelps" for Wednesday, January 21, 2026.

On this episode of the MalloryBros Podcast, the Bros start with J. Cole's album announcement and his new track “The Inevitable,” setting expectations for what's coming next. That conversation naturally opens the door to a real debate about the Big 3 in Hip Hop — whether that label still holds weight or if the culture has already moved on. From there, the Bros talk about Kai Cenat's recent viral moments online, discussing how quickly public perception can shift and how easily narratives and morals change once the coast is clear. The conversation touches on intent, criticism, and the reality of being under constant public scrutiny. The episode also dives into Druski's viral church skit, questioning where the line is in comedy and whether his success has put him in a different category than his peers. The Bros discuss his style, his influence, and what separates him from the rest of the comedy space right now. Terrell presses Terrance on his thoughts about Trae Young and the Washington Wizards, before the conversation takes a lighter turn into video game soundtrack nostalgia and how certain music instantly brings you back. Later, the Bros talk about a viral social media breakup, the role online attention plays in relationships, and how public perception can outweigh real-life context. They also touch on a more serious topic involving a missing spouse, before closing the episode with NFL playoff reactions and their AFC and NFC Championship picks.

In many ways, humanity seems to have become more humane and inclusive over time. While there's still a lot of progress to be made, campaigns to give people of different genders, races, sexualities, ethnicities, beliefs, and abilities equal treatment and rights have had significant success.It's tempting to believe this was inevitable — that the arc of history “bends toward justice,” and that as humans get richer, we'll make even more moral progress.But today's guest Christopher Brown — a professor of history at Columbia University and specialist in the abolitionist movement and the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries — believes the story of how slavery became unacceptable suggests moral progress is far from inevitable.Rebroadcast: This episode was originally aired in February 2023.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.link/CLBWhile most of us today feel that the abolition of slavery was sure to happen sooner or later as humans became richer and more educated, Christopher doesn't believe any of the arguments for that conclusion pass muster. If he's right, a counterfactual history where slavery remains widespread in 2023 isn't so far-fetched.As Christopher lays out in his two key books, Moral Capital: Foundations of British Abolitionism and Arming Slaves: From Classical Times to the Modern Age, slavery has been ubiquitous throughout history. Slavery of some form was fundamental in Classical Greece, the Roman Empire, in much of the Islamic civilisation, in South Asia, and in parts of early modern East Asia, Korea, China.It was justified on all sorts of grounds that sound mad to us today. But according to Christopher, while there's evidence that slavery was questioned in many of these civilisations, and periodically attacked by slaves themselves, there was no enduring or successful moral advocacy against slavery until the British abolitionist movement of the 1700s.That movement first conquered Britain and its empire, then eventually the whole world. But the fact that there's only a single time in history that a persistent effort to ban slavery got off the ground is a big clue that opposition to slavery was a contingent matter: if abolition had been inevitable, we'd expect to see multiple independent abolitionist movements thoroughly history, providing redundancy should any one of them fail.Christopher argues that this rarity is primarily down to the enormous economic and cultural incentives to deny the moral repugnancy of slavery, and crush opposition to it with violence wherever necessary.Mere awareness is insufficient to guarantee a movement will arise to fix a problem. Humanity continues to allow many severe injustices to persist, despite being aware of them. So why is it so hard to imagine we might have done the same with forced labour?In this episode, Christopher describes the unique and peculiar set of political, social and religious circumstances that gave rise to the only successful and lasting anti-slavery movement in human history. These circumstances were sufficiently improbable that Christopher believes there are very nearby worlds where abolitionism might never have taken off.Christopher and host Rob Wiblin also discuss:Various instantiations of slavery throughout human historySigns of antislavery sentiment before the 17th centuryThe role of the Quakers in early British abolitionist movementThe importance of individual “heroes” in the abolitionist movementArguments against the idea that the abolition of slavery was contingentWhether there have ever been any major moral shifts that were inevitableChapters:Rob's intro (00:00:00)Cold open (00:01:45)Who's Christopher Brown?

Augustus Doricko is Founder and CEO at Rainmaker, a company using cloud seeding, drones, and radar to increase rain and snow as water scarcity and drought intensify across the West. In this episode of Inevitable, the conversation focuses on why cloud seeding—often misunderstood as science fiction or geoengineering—has existed for decades and why it has only recently become possible to prove it actually works.The discussion centers on the industry's core constraint: attribution. For years, operators couldn't measure whether precipitation would have occurred anyway. Doricko explains how advances in dual-polarization radar and targeted flight paths now make it possible to identify human-caused snowfall, unlocking a path to scale.Doricko also walks through Rainmaker's vertically integrated approach, from weather-resistant drones and proprietary radar to software and validation systems, and why the company focuses on snowpack as a bankable water source. The episode also addresses public scrutiny, regulatory bans, and what it takes to build water infrastructure in a category that's easy to misunderstand but increasingly necessary.Episode recorded on Dec 16, 2025 (Published on Jan 20, 2026)In this episode, we cover: [1:53] Cloud seeding vs geoengineering [3:27] How cloud seeding works and its history[9:14] When and how it became commercially deployable [15:28] Advantages of using drones vs manned aircraft [18:34] The limits of today's validation methods [24:54] Why Rainmaker focuses on snowpack first [27:34] Rainmaker's go to market[29:34] Acquiring legacy operators to scale faster[32:40] Why Rainmaker sells services, not water[38:25] State bans, politics, and public backlash[40:39] Chemtrails and Texas flood controversies[47:15] The future of cloud seeding in the US and abroad Enjoyed this episode?

If you've ever set goals you genuinely want… and still watched yourself stall, second-guess, or fall back into old patterns, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down the missing piece of goal setting that almost no one talks about — the part that makes goals feel inevitable instead of exhausting. This isn't about more discipline or a better plan. It's about who you believe yourself to be while you're going after what you want. If you're tired of forcing change and wondering why it never sticks, this conversation will make a lot of things finally click. In this episode, we unpack:Why traditional goal setting fails even when you really want the goal The identity shift that makes follow-through feel natural instead of forced How to turn goals into powerful present-tense identity statements Real examples of identity-based change in work, leadership, and motherhood What unapologetic living actually looks like in real life — not in theory Work with me:Ambitious & Balanced: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced Book a work-life balance strategy call: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced-call Daily Kickstart (free download): www.ambitiousandbalanced.com/daily-kickstart Stay connected:Follow me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/rebolson

Around one in four American adults (about 24-25%) experienced chronic pain in 2023, with a significant portion (around 8-9%) having high-impact chronic pain that limits daily life, according to recent CDC and NIH data. This prevalence increased post-pandemic, affecting over 60 million people, with higher rates among women, older adults, and American Indian, Alaska, and Native populations.    Let's explore The Unexpected Link Between Movement and Pain with Eileen Kopsaftis. For over three decades, I've worked in varied clinical settings, including acute hospital care, outpatient rehab, homecare, and nursing facilities, helping thousands reclaim pain-free, independent lives. My approach focuses on functional movement and nutrition education to challenge the idea that aging means inevitable physical decline. As a certified expert in applied functional science, my methods go beyond traditional therapy. I've condensed my decades of expertise into two best-selling books, Pain Culprits and Aging Culprits, both designed to empower people with practical strategies for resolving pain and maintaining strength, mobility, and vitality at any age. My background also includes a nutrition educator diploma, which allows me to uncover powerful links between diet and chronic pain. If you're interested in conversations that break through myths about aging and chronic pain and offer actionable, science-based insights, this conversation is for you.  Eileen is passionate about empowering others to move without pain and have lifelong wellbeing. She believes life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured.     For More Information: https://havelifelongwellbeing.com/ YouTube: @EileenKopsaftis Learn more about your ad choices.

Tony Bennett Court at JPJ was inevitable + McKay trusting LU MBB players by Ed Lane

In this episode, I break down effort versus inevitability using Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan as examples. This is not about basketball, it's about two very different performance energies. Effort is when you try hard and push to make things happen. Inevitability is when you know the result is coming, even if you can't explain how. I explain why both can create greatness, but why inevitability is the higher level to operate from. Show Notes: [32:18]#1 Effort is loud, inevitability is quiet. [11:49]#2 Effort tries to win where inevitability expects to win. [22:03]#3 Effort is fueled by will.  [25:58] Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making. Details live here: http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com/Mastermind  This Masterclass is the public record of standards. Private enforcement happens elsewhere.

Inevitable

Send us a textUseful beats flashy every time. We sit down with Przemek Kowalczyk, co-founder and CEO of Ramp Network, to unpack the practical moves that make crypto onboarding fast, trusted, and truly global—without asking users to care about the plumbing. From the first failed startup experiments to becoming MiCA-authorized across the EU, this conversation maps how to earn trust at the moment it matters: when someone decides to buy crypto and needs it to just work.We explore the bottlenecks that quietly kill conversion—right-sized KYC, payment rails that actually clear, and error handling that doesn't spook new users. You'll hear why cards can feel universal yet unreliable, how localization drives higher success rates, and why building compliance pathways into product development is the only way to ship at scale in regulated markets. The leadership playbook is blunt and battle-tested: keep cash buffers for the next shock, maintain vendor backups, and design for abrupt market turns.Looking forward, we break down why stablecoins are set to become the default transfer layer for remittances and cross-border payments. As wallets and flows abstract the rails, users will only feel speed and lower cost—exactly what drives adoption. We also talk founder traits that predict resilience, the art of pivoting without losing the core problem, and how a partner-first approach can embed seamless onramps directly inside wallets for a smoother first-time experience.If you care about shipping products that people actually use, this is your blueprint: build trust, minimize friction, and speak to outcomes users value today. Follow the show, share it with a friend who's wrestling with crypto UX, and leave a quick review to help more builders find this conversation.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on December 10, 2025.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores one of the most debated questions in modern history: Was the Russian Revolution inevitable?Moving beyond the simple narrative of "peace, land, and bread," we delve into the competing schools of historiography that have shaped our understanding of 1917. From the Soviet orthodoxy of historical determinism to the Western liberal view of a Bolshevik coup d'état, and finally to the revisionist and post-revisionist syntheses of scholars like Sheila Fitzpatrick and Orlando Figes.We also examine the structural argument: that revolutions only happen when states cease to function. Was the Tsarist regime doomed by its own incompetence, or could it have survived without the catalyst of World War I? Nick unpacks how the "Great Man" theory fails to explain the collapse of empires and why understanding historiography is the key to unlocking top grades in history exams.Plus: A major announcement for students! Booking is now open for our live masterclass on the Russian Revolution and Stalinism, taking place on Sunday, January 25th.

THE FATAL 1930 LAUNCH AND INEVITABLE TRAGEDY Colleague S.C. Gwynne. Gwynne argues that the fatal 1930 launch was rushed so Thompson could arrive in India as the new Viceroy and return for an imperial conference. Despite warnings about the rotting cover and storms, the ship flew too low, leading to a tragedy Gwynne characterizes as inevitable. NUMBER 4

PREVIEW THE PREDETERMINED VERDICT FOR JIMMY LAI Colleague Mark Clifford. Clifford reports that Jimmy Lai's conviction is inevitable due to instructions from Beijing, despite a lack of evidence beyond his journalism. With the trial concluding, Clifford anticipates the 77-year-old will receive a sentence tantamount to life imprisonment, cementing his status as "public enemy number one." 1930S HONG KONG HARBOR.

THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE ANTHROPOCENE AND THE INEVITABILITY OF CLIMATE MIGRATION Colleague Gaia Vince. John Batchelor and Gaia Vince discuss her book, Nomad Century, which argues that climate migration is already underway and inevitable. Vince illustrates this reality through Abel Cruz, a Peruvian farmer forced to migrate to a slum in Lima after drought destroyed his livelihood. She describes the forces driving this movement as the "four horsemen of the Anthropocene": fire, heat, flood, and drought. As the tropics become increasingly dangerous, Vince explains that populations from the Global South will necessarily move toward the Global North, where land is more abundant and nations are wealthier and better able to adapt.

Thomas Chatterton Williams joins to discuss his new book, The Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and the Demise of Discourse. He argues that the racial reckoning of 2020 was not an inevitable tide of history but a perfect storm of pandemic isolation, polarizing politics, and institutional failure. TCW dissects how mainstream institutions—from the New York Times to the Philadelphia Inquirer—abandoned objectivity for "moral clarity," and how misinformation about cases like Jacob Blake fueled a cycle of violence in Kenosha. Mike and Thomas debate whether the Left's introspection is necessary to defeat the "worse" impulses of the MAGA Right, or if it just alienates the base.
