"The Netherlands regularly punched above its weight," says an expert report for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "The Netherlands reacted in a very agile way to Brexit. We were like-minded with the UK on certain files. And we had to find new partners in the EU." says one of the authors of the study and EU influence expert Mendeltje van Keulen. According to her, Czechia could be even stronger in Brussels if it formed more coalitions of countries with similar positions.

Benjamin and his wife Lauren have seven children and live in Orlando. Links The Science of Scaling: Grow Your Business Bigger and Faster Than You Think Possible Scaling.com/Audiobook Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Benjamin introduces the idea that setting ambitious goals can lead to more effective pathways for growth. He explains that when organizations aim for significantly higher targets—such as a tenfold increase in growth—they are compelled to streamline their efforts and eliminate unnecessary complexities. This principle is particularly relevant for church leaders who may feel constrained by traditional metrics of success. Benjamin emphasizes the importance of aligning daily actions with a higher purpose. He discusses the concept of "raising the floor," which refers to the necessity of letting go of lower standards and practices that no longer serve the organization's goals. By doing so, leaders can create a more focused and effective environment for achieving their objectives. The conversation also delves into the psychological aspects of goal-setting, highlighting how the future should shape present actions rather than being dictated by past performance. He shares a compelling story about an audacious missionary baptism goal and how adjusting adjusting and filtering ultimately achieved the goal—illustrating the power of high aspirations and the need for leaders to be willing to say no to less-impactful activities. Benjamin explores the challenges church leaders face in maintaining focus amidst competing priorities and discusses the tendency to add more initiatives rather than simplifying and prioritizing efforts. He encourages leaders to define clear, measurable goals that can guide their actions and decision-making processes, along with a call to embrace ambitious goals. By focusing on fewer, higher goals and raising their standards, leaders can unlock the potential within their wards and organizations, ultimately leading to greater success in their missions. 00:04:00 - Applying Scaling Principles to the Church 00:05:20 - The Goal Shapes the Path and System 00:05:50 - The Power of 10x Goals and Short Timelines 00:08:40 - Missionary Work as an Example of Scaling 00:10:50 - The Past and Future as Lenses for the Present 00:14:10 - Operating From the Goal, Not Toward It 00:14:40 - Raising the Floor and Saying No 00:15:30 - Blake's Missionary Experience and Filtering 00:19:40 - Overcoming the Influence of the Past in Organizations 00:21:50 - Simplicity vs. Complexity 00:23:10 - The Challenge of Too Many Goals in Church Councils 00:24:50 - Focusing on Key Priorities in Leadership 00:28:00 - Defining and Owning Roles in Church Leadership 00:28:50 - Understanding and Raising the Floor 00:31:30 - The Floor as a Standard of Accountability 00:33:30 - Avoiding Guilt from Too Many To-Dos 00:36:10 - Setting Clear, Numeric Goals 00:40:20 - The Future Shapes the Present 00:42:50 - Repentance and Reorienting Towards the Future 00:44:50 - Distancing from Past Self and Growth Mindset 00:48:50 - Measuring Impact and Qualitative vs. Quantitative Goals 00:53:00 - Accountability in Systems and Leadership

La population mondiale s'élevait en 2020 à 7,8 milliards d'habitants. En 2030, nous serons au moins 8,5 milliards. Et en 2050 ce chiffre pourrait dépasser les 10 milliards dans l'hypothèse d'une fécondité forte. La démographie est l'un des principaux éléments de la puissance d'un État, en même temps qu'elle peut aussi être un facteur de sous-développement. Ces chiffres sur la démographie mondiale recoupent des réalités extrêmement différentes. Alors que l'Europe connait un hiver démographique qui ne permet plus le renouvellement des générations, en Asie, l'Inde est devenue le pays le plus peuplé du monde avec 1,3 milliard d'habitants, devançant la Chine, dont la population vieillit inexorablement. Ce vieillissement de la population est déjà manifeste depuis des années au Japon et maintenant en Corée du Sud. En revanche la population africaine explose. Nombre de pays du continent n'ont pas achevé leur transition démographique. En 1950 l'Afrique pesait à peine pour 8,3% de la population mondiale et avait moins d'habitants que les États-Unis. En 2050 le continent africain devrait abriter un quart de la population mondiale. Quels effets ces nouvelles donnes démographiques auront-elles géopolitiquement et militairement ?

In today's episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Sabina Costea, a 24-year-old law student based in Montreal, Canada.

Linguistic Threads Across Sacred Scrolls When we speak of the Hebrew Bible, many assume it was written exclusively in Hebrew. But the truth is far more textured—woven with threads of Aramaic that reflect not only linguistic evolution, but also the historical upheaval and cultural interaction that shaped the Jewish people. Aramaic was not merely a language of exile; it became a vessel through which Scripture was preserved, interpreted, and proclaimed.

Real connection means understanding your audience, staying true to yourself, and creating space for others.How do you communicate who you are, what you stand for, and leave space for others to do the same? At the Stanford Seed Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, three GSB professors explored why real connection is built through authentic communication.For Jesper Sørensen, authentic organizational communication means talking about a business in ways customers or investors can understand, like using analogies to relate a new business model to one that people already know. For incoming GSB Dean Sarah Soule, authentic communication is about truth, not trends. Her research on "corporate confession" shows that companies build trust when they admit their shortcomings — but only if those admissions connect authentically to their core business. And for Christian Wheeler, authentic communication means suspending judgment of ourselves and others. “We have a tendency to rush to categorization, to assume that we understand things before we really do,” he says. “Get used to postponing judgment.”In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and his panel of guests explore communication challenges for budding entrepreneurs. From the risks of comparing yourself to competitors to how your phone might undermine genuine connection, they reveal how authentic communication — whether organizational or personal — requires understanding your audience, staying true to your values, and creating space for others to be heard.Episode Reference Links:Jesper SørensenChristian WheelerSarah SouleEp.194 Live Lessons in Levity and Leadership: Me2We 2025 Part 1 Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:04) - Jesper Sørensen on Strategic Analogies (04:06) - Sarah Soule on Corporate Confessions (08:46) - Christian Wheeler on Spontaneity & Presence (12:06) - Panel Discussion: AI's Role in Research, Teaching, & Life (17:52) - Professors Share Current Projects (22:55) - Live Audience Q&A (32:53) - Conclusion *****This Episode is sponsored by Stanford.

  ✅ Why you should train your child in the way THEY should go (not your way) ✅ How failing forward teaches your kids resilience better than perfect parenting ✅ The 4 pillars that transform boys into men: Identity, Strength, Courage, Influence ✅ Why showing up consistently matters more than having all the answers FULL SHOW NOTES SUMMARY: When you move your family halfway around the world to serve fatherless boys, you quickly discover that you're learning as much about fatherhood as you're teaching. In this episode, Bryan Greenwood shares 11 years of discoveries from Thailand—from building the largest amateur football league in Northern Thailand to creating government-approved mentorship programs for at-risk youth. You'll hear why your kids need to see you failing forward, how to train them in the way THEY should go (not the way you want them to go), and why showing up consistently matters more than having all the answers. TAKEAWAYS: Train up your child in the way THEY should go, not the way you want them to go—this requires discovering their unique identity and strengths Your kids need to see you failing forward and living with purpose beyond just being a great dad Consistent presence matters more than perfect parenting—just showing up creates lasting impact Create safe environments where your kids can respectfully disagree and engage in real dialogue You'll never know who you are until you know who your Father is—this principle transforms both dads and kids The four pillars of strong character: Identity (knowing who you are), Strength (putting gifts under pressure), Courage (living for others), and Influence (natural result of the first three) GUEST: Bryan Greenwood is the founder of Outboundlife Inc, a ministry focused on assisting the fatherless through mentoring young men. For over 13 years, Bryan and his wife Valerie have lived in Northern Thailand, creating mentorship programs now integrated into the Thai Department of Probation system. Their work targets young men leaving orphanages, foster care, juvenile prison, and those at risk of human trafficking. They've built the largest amateur football league in Northern Thailand as a "fishing pond" for identifying young men who need fathering. Bryan and Valerie have two adult children and continue their mission of helping boys discover their identity, develop strength, find courage, and use their influence.

MaximizeYourInfluence.com  Discover the Shocking Truth: How Multitasking is Sabotaging Your Influence and Crushing Your Productivity Imagine this: You're juggling emails, a Zoom call, and that "quick" social media scroll—all while convincing yourself you're a productivity powerhouse. But what if I told you this habit destroys your ability to influence and manage your time. For years, we've been sold the lie that multitasking is the key to getting more done. But cutting-edge studies from 2023 to 2025 paint a starkly different picture: multitasking doesn't boost efficiency—it destroys it through "task-switching," where your brain bounces between tasks, racking up hidden cognitive costs like slower performance, more errors, and exhausting mental fatigue. Think your brain is wired for parallel processing? Think again. Neuroscience reveals that we can only truly handle one complex task at a time; overloading the prefrontal cortex leads to poorer results across the board. A productivity analysis estimating that each task switch wastes anywhere from 10 minutes to a staggering 2 hours as your brain reorients itself. Persuade With Power Kurt Mortensen

When a single poem transformed Satan from a minor biblical character into a horned, pitchfork-wielding supervillain, it sparked centuries of hysteria that would culminate in 1980s America imprisoning innocent people for imaginary crimes against children who "remembered" flying teachers and underground tunnels that never existed.CORRECTION TO THE EPISODE: While angels are often depicted with wings, the Bible doesn't consistently portray them this way. I said the bible does not describe angels with wings, but that is incorrect. Some angelic beings, like cherubim and seraphim, are described with wings (e.g., in Exodus 25:20, Ezekiel 10:5-7, and Isaiah 6:2-7), but other angels appear in human form without any mention of wings (e.g., Genesis 18-19, Hebrews 13:2).Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast = https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: Hollywood portrays Satan as everywhere - controlling world leaders, possessing pastors, inhabiting Ouija boards and children's toys. Yet Satan appears only a handful of times in the Bible. The horned, red devil we picture comes not from scripture but from a poem. Most Satanists don't even worship the devil. While Satan poses real danger, we often give him too much credit - blaming him for our bad choices or wild conspiracy theories. Still, some cases make you wonder about his true influence. What does Satan really look like? What's behind 666? Do people kill in his name? Are certain places under Satanic influence? We explore it all.ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

Dave Rubin is back—and he gets brutally honest. In this fiery sit-down, he breaks down the conservative movement divide and names get dropped! Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, the Hodge Twins, and even Andrew Tate come up as examples of how clicks, ego, and a thirst for virality might be driving people off the deep end. Dave opens up about his personal history with some of these figures and the troubling rise of antisemitism he's seeing from within the right itself. Also discussed: - Why JLo's sexy dance is now “grandma cringe” - Whether the Daily Wire is under attack from Tucker's network - Dave's theory on why the algorithm is breaking our brains - Why success—not rage—is the antidote to chaos - And yes...

Join us for an eye-opening discussion about the misuse of J1 visas by Voice of America and the implications of employing foreign journalists with ties to state-run media. We also explore the historical mission of VOA and how it has shifted from promoting American values to potentially spreading biased narratives.
