They discuss: How “Preachers N Sneakers” started by accident The unexpected backlash from pastors and churches The viral growth that changed Ben's life What he learned about influence, power, and church culture Why the conversation is still relevant today This one goes deeper than expected — and you might not see everything the same way after listening.

In this episode, recorded live at the OpenAI studio, Sulman Choudhry (Head of ChatGPT @ OpenAI) pulls back the curtain on how they structure engineering teams! We talk about shifting from silos to fluid mission-driven teams, vertical vs. horizontal teams, maximizing cross-functional collaboration between research, engineering, product and design. Plus we cover “directly responsible individuals” for high accountability, managers as systems designers, scaling decision-making to prevent leadership from becoming bottlenecks, frameworks for mentoring junior engineers, why “problem framing” is the most critical skill, and how managers can stay close to problems and maintain technical intuition.   ABOUT SULMAN CHOUDHRY Sulman leads ChatGPT Engineering at OpenAI, driving the development and scaling of one of the world's most impactful AI products. He pushes the boundaries of innovation by turning cutting‑edge research into practical, accessible tools that transform how people interact with technology. Previously at Meta, Sulman founded and scaled Instagram Reels, IGTV, and Instagram Labs, and helped lead the early development of Instagram Stories. He also brought MetaAI to Instagram and Messenger, integrating generative AI into experiences used by billions.

Pre-pandemic, India's handful of multi-genre music festivals focused on independent musicians in the traditional sense of the term. In the recent past, as the lines between indie and mainstream have blurred, there's a lot more pop on festival bills, and it seems like programmers are closely watching the charts. On this week's episode, we talk about why this is happening and the pros and cons of the trend.

They unpack Trump's obsession with “winning,” the backlash building inside MAGA world, and why rising gas prices could quickly turn the political tide at home. Wolff argues the real key to understanding Trump may not be in the Pentagon or the intelligence briefings—but inside the mind of Jared Kushner, the one person he believes truly understands Trump's thinking and the potential Gulf money and postwar deals at stake. They also dive into the uneasy body language of figures like Marco Rubio and JD Vance, the confusion among world leaders, and the political stakes back home—from the Texas Senate battle to a stunning Kristi Noem hearing that may have been the final straw for Trump to fire her as DHS Secretary.

Kiren Sekar (CPO @ Samsara) joins us to deconstruct the "Innovation Engine" behind Samsara, and how this system drives real-world impact and ROI across their products. We explore Samsara's decade-long compound product strategy and the mechanics of accelerating feedback loops in an era where the primary bottlenecks shift from code generation to customer feedback and absorption of change. Kiren details how their data flywheel expands the aperture of what is possible to build and we dive into the system of customer-driven innovation: advisory boards, “spark sessions” to test hypotheses and gain unfiltered feedback. Plus we talk about the power of embedding engineers in frontline environments (from truckyards to construction sites) to cultivate “taste,” customer empathy and trigger non-linear ideas. ABOUT KIREN SEKARKiren Sekar is the Chief Product Officer at Samsara (NYSE: IOT), where he has helped lead the company from a hardware-hacking startup in a basement to a global leader in Connected Operations with over $1.5B in ARR. An early leader at Meraki (acquired by Cisco for $1.2B) and an Apple veteran with multiple patents, Kiren specializes in the rare intersection of hardware, massive-scale data, and AI. He is the architect of a platform that now processes trillions of data points for the industries that keep the world running—trucking, construction, and logistics. This episode is brought to you by Retool!What happens when your team can't keep up with internal tool requests?

Over the years, and even with an uptick recently, we've seen a wave of celebrities publicly talking about Jesus. People like Jelly Roll, Kid Rock, Nicki Minaj, Alice Cooper, Kanye West, and others. Some claim they've found faith, some say they're ‘exploring spirituality.' Others reference Jesus while still promoting messages that directly contradict Scripture. So what are we supposed to do with that? Are we to celebrate it or actually examine each case in light of Scripture?   The Emergent Church and the Bono-Screwtape Connection https://tinyurl.com/BonoScrewtape They Sold Their Souls For Rock N Roll (10 Hour DVD) https://tinyurl.com/RockNRoll10HR Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries We're on Rumble! https://rumble.com/GoodFightMinistries Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight

1. Super Bowl & Cultural Commentary The discussion opens with dismissive reactions to the Super Bowl halftime show, particularly focusing on Bad Bunny. The Celebrity political signaling is a cultural backlash as exaggerated or performative. Cultural change is being pushed by elites rather than organically embraced. 2. California Tax Policy Critique California’s tax system punishes high earners and visiting performers, especially athletes. Example cited: NFL player bonuses allegedly being taxed at levels exceeding the bonus itself due to “duty day” rules. California is economically self-destructive, encouraging talent and businesses to leave the state. Texas and other low-tax states are contrasted as more economically rational alternatives. 3. “Follow the Money” – DEI & Philanthropy Mellon funding is: Promoting DEI-focused hiring Encouraging identity-based academic disciplines Influencing faculty pipelines from undergraduate fellowships through tenure-track positions This funding results in racial discrimination, ideological conformity, and activist scholarship, rather than academic merit. 4. Transformation of Higher Education Universities are depicted as having shifted from traditional scholarship toward activist-driven ideologies. Fields like military history or classical studies are framed as marginalized, while intersectional or abolitionist studies are favored. Philanthropic foundations are blamed for reshaping academia without democratic accountability. 5. Political Activism & Protest Funding Anti-ICE protests are described as organized, rehearsed, and financially backed, not grassroots. Protesters allegedly admit to being paid, reinforcing the claim that activism is professionally funded. This is framed as evidence of manufactured dissent and coordinated political agitation. 6. Virginia Governance & Immigration Policy Virginia’s Democratic leadership is accused of: Cutting cooperation with ICE Releasing criminal undocumented immigrants Advancing aggressive redistricting reforms These actions are framed as an “assault on democracy” and a warning sign ahead of future elections. There is no longer a meaningful distinction between moderate and radical Democrats. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Not surprising but shocking how brazen they are in admitting to what they are doing. In 2025, the Kentucky Legislature passed HB 4, a law that finally took aim at the divisive college DEI programs. It banned:- Providing differential treatment or benefits based on an individual's religion, race, sex, color, or national origin (e.g., in admissions, scholarships, employment, or housing assignments, with very limited exceptions). - Influencing the composition of the student body, scholarship recipients, or similar groups on those bases. - Spending any taxpayer dollars on DEI initiatives, the promotion of "discriminatory topics," or bias incident investigations. - Soliciting statements from applicants about their experiences with or views on religion, race, sex, color, or national origin (no more DEI loyalty tests in applications). - Requiring courses dedicated to "discriminatory concepts" (broadly defined as ideas that justify or promote differential treatment based on those protected categories; it outlaws courses whose primary purpose is to indoctrinate students with such concepts). - Requiring individuals to endorse or condemn specific ideologies or viewpoints. - Disseminating or profiting from materials that promote or justify discriminatory concepts.Specific examples of these practices priorly include the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education tying funding to racial quotas and spending taxpayer money on programs that discriminated against students based on skin color.These practices aren't just racist—they're also unconstitutional. The Kentucky Legislature wisely got ahead of the lawsuits, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled against colleges for these exact discriminatory schemes.In response, universities scattered their DEI departments like roaches in the light—changing job titles, hiding staff in other departments, and pretending nothing changed. But Accuracy in Media (AIM) has done real undercover journalism and exposed that Kentucky universities rank among the worst in the nation for still enforcing these racist DEI policies while openly admitting they know they're breaking the law.Adam Guillette of AIM joined me to discuss his group's explosive recent video from the University of Kentucky. In it, staffers casually reveal they're keeping DEI alive under the radar—defying both state law and common sense. He also teased more undercover investigation videos from Kentucky campuses coming soon.

In our latest ELC episode, we are addressing some of the biggest challenges facing engineers today: identifying your scaling thesis, putting that thesis into practice, and addressing implementation challenges. Jaikumar Ganesh, Head of Engineering @ Anyscale, shares insights from his experience working at top tech companies like Android and Uber, and how to apply those lessons within your own orgs. We also cover strategies for identifying what to build, using data effectively when it comes to understanding AI agents, and keeping your intent (and customer success) top of mind. Additionally, Jaikumar discusses his experience as a GM and why all orgs should adopt cross-functional skillsets as part of their company culture. ABOUT JAIKUMAR GANESHJaikumar Ganesh is an accomplished technology leader and the Head of Engineering at Anyscale.

There is a path in career advancement that isn't always easy to navigate – the spot between individual contributor and seasoned manager. How can you be an influence at work when you don't have authority? Communicating and influencing effectively requires shifting from a tactical mindset to a more strategic view. This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton and Sally Williamson, CEO of Sally Williamson & Associates, Executive Coach, Executive Presence Expert, Author, Speaker and Storyteller. Together, they consider how to influence outcomes and build credibility to move forward, particularly when authority isn't part of your title or role.   Episode Insights Include:   Making your influence a top 2026 priority Functional lanes are constantly shifting, and you need to shift with them.  Companies want employees who are willing to think outside their lane.  Fresh ideas are always welcome, but not always clearly defined by role.  Influence is key in making your voice heard.  Breaking down lanes is critical to collaboration.    Supporting vs. partnering on outcomes Centers of excellence support an operating function. As long as experts stay solely in their lane, true collaboration can't happen. Stop supporting outcomes exclusively, and start partnering with leaders of operating functions. Doing so will add value to the ultimate outcome.   Exercises that expand this skill Learn how to attach to someone else's value. Identify a leader's big goals to stretch your offering to meet their value. Ask curious questions that expand your understanding of the overarching vision.   Overcoming common challenges  Expand your focus from the day-to-day reactions to a larger vision. Consider what you can contribute beyond the task list. Reframe your language about your contributions. Focus less on your task takeaways and more on what you contribute to the conversation.   Senior leader shifts Bring people along with your big ideas and initiatives. Invite others to join you in the big picture story. Align others in the journey that leads to what you are trying to accomplish. Influence and alignment should be synonymous. Leaders can unlock the power of what others can contribute. "Stay in your lane" should never be the message from a leader.   Building influence as an introvert or new team member Introverts aren't tentative in their thoughts, they may be tentative to share it. Consider asking another person to share your thoughts on your behalf. New team members only get a few chances to influence at the beginning. Show, above all else, that you can work well with others. Ask questions that show clarity. You didn't miss your chance in the meeting; send follow-up emails. Influence is in the eyes of others, as is resistance – proceed strategically.   This podcast is powered by FCCS.   Resources   Connect with Sally Williamson – Sally Williamson   Get in touch   info@fccsconsulting.com   "Leaders want you in the room for how you think, not just the tasks that you'll take away." — Sally Williamson   "Focus less on what you take away as a task and more on what you contribute as a part of the conversation." — Sally Williamson   "Influence doesn't mean calling the decisions. It's creating the environment where a group gets to a decision." — Sally Williamson   "All of us are bigger than the roles we're in. Shift from what you do to how you think." — Sally Williamson

In episode 326 of the Glass and Out Podcast we sit down with the President, General Manager, and Head Coach of the WHL's Penticton Vees, Fred Harbinson. Now in his 19th year with the team, Harbinson has the Vees on track for a historic season as the Western Hockey League's newest franchise in its first season after departing the BCHL. In late January of 2026, Penticton sat 2nd in the Western Conference, were riding an 11 game win streak, and recently cracked the CHL's top 10 ranking, landing at number 9. With 26 games left to play in the regular season, the Vees are only 10 wins away from breaking the win record for an expansion team, set by the Everett Silvertips in 2014. With Penticton, Harbinson built one of the most storied franchises at the Jr A level in Canada, leading the Vees to multiple championships, including six Fred Page Cup titles, a Western Canada Cup, a Doyle Cup, and an RBC Cup National Championship. He has recorded over 700 career wins in the BCHL and has been honored multiple times with the Joe Tennant Memorial Trophy as BCHL Coach of the Year. He also holds the distinction of the most playoff series victories in league history. Listen as he shares the championship mentality that has resulted in expansion success, putting an emphasis on the defensive side of the game, and why selling development is about providing your players with a layer of tools.

This episode of 25 Whistles has a classic “Around the Room” debate that turns into a full-on self-scout: what’s your best physical trait, and can you defend it? Then Eddie makes his picks this weekend which means he’s already jinxed the Patriots and Rams, and the guys try to figure out if it’s an actual curse or just Eddie being Eddie. Plus, former NFL center Mitch Morse joins us to talk retirement, what he misses (and doesn’t), and how Harry Potter ended up shaping the way he thought about stepping away from the game.

Who is really shaping your beliefs in the age of social media? Not every Christian influencer online is teaching biblical truth, and some are misleading others—knowingly or unknowingly. In this episode, I examine the rise of false Christian influencers, how influence can subtly manipulate thinking, and why truth is often mixed with error. I break down 5 practical warning signs to help identify false teachers, explain how to test the spirits, and discuss why spiritual maturity and renewed thinking take time—especially for those coming out of New Age or occult backgrounds. I also go behind the scenes on how constant online influence shapes belief systems and share practical ways to guard your faith in an increasingly noisy digital world.-----------------------------Amy is a Christian counselor- to book a session:https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.comAmy's online Bible studies:https://rumble.com/c/BibleStudywithEyesontherightIG https://www.instagram.com/eyesontherightpodcast/?hl=enIG https://www.instagram.com/eyesontheright4.0/?hl=en⁠⁠https://theanastasiaco.com⁠⁠ - Faith based company (gifts/apparel)CODE: EYESONTHERIGHT⁠https://convictionco.com⁠ - Faith based bold apparelCODE: EYESONTHERIGHT

AI is getting faster, smarter, and more accessible by the day. Content is cheaper. Tactics are everywhere. And "good enough" is now automated. So why does it feel harder than ever to actually influence people? In this episode of The Expert Edge, Colin breaks down what still moves humans in an AI-driven world and why influence today has far less to do with tools, prompts, or platforms… and everything to do with presence, trust, and conviction. This isn't an episode about fighting AI or avoiding it. It's about understanding the one thing AI can't replicate, human influence, and how to lean into it more intentionally as a coach, speaker, or course creator. You'll discover: Why information no longer creates authority and what replaces it The invisible elements that make people trust, follow, and buy (even when they've seen the same ideas before) How to shift from "content creator" to "trusted voice" in a crowded, automated marketplace Why certainty, embodiment, and emotional safety now outperform clever tactics If you've felt like your message should be landing… but isn't converting the way it used to. This episode will help you recalibrate what actually drives influence in this new era. Because in an AI generation, the people who win aren't the loudest or the most optimized. They're the most human.   I'm hosting a new workshop series called "Sell From Live & Virtual Stages" Workshop series in just a couple of weeks.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY: GUEST ANATOL LIEVEN. British Military Ambition and the Reality of US Dependency. Anatol Lieven criticizes the British military-industrial complex for influencing government policy without pushback. He argues that Britain's attempt to deter the U.S. in Greenland is illogical, as Britain remains totally dependent on United States support should a shooting war with Russia ever occur at sea.

This episode is being re-released in remembrance of Scott Adams, who has passed away on the 13th of January, 2026. This interview remains a meaningful reflection of his ideas, experiences, and voice, and it deserved to be shared again. My guest today, Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, joins me to talk about exactly why that is and the type of thinking he refers to as "Loserthink." It's also the title of his new book subtitled, How Untrained Brains are Ruining America. Today, we talk about the fact that being right and being wrong feel the same, how to determine what battles to fight online, how shaming and mockery can be used positively, and ultimately how you can avoid thinking like a loser. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Augmenting your intelligence Wrestling with social media A "slippery slope" Linear thinking Predictable variables to success Influencing other people Enlightened selfishness Succeeding at systems Mental addiction Adding to your talent stack There's always a deeper level Engaging in "loser think" Determining a stranger's thoughts SCOTT ADAMS Gents, I am stoked to be able to introduce you to my guest today, Scott Adams. Before I do, I want to make sure I thank my friend, Jordan Harbinger, for introducing us. You may not know who Scott is right away but I'm sure you know Dilbert. Scott is the creator of Dilbert and the bestselling author of Win Bigly and his new book, Loserthink. Although Scott really started to gain attention and traction with Dilbert, his political commentary is, in my mind, just as, if not more, important. If you're interested, you can check out what he has to say on Twitter (@scottadamssays). He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers and I think that is why he has gained such a following – his ability to say what needs to be said and his ability to say it in a way that connects with so many of us. SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES Gentlemen, we're all aware of how important systems and processes are on our path to success but how many men have not created those systems in every facet of their lives. These are the same men who often wonder why that cannot seem to get ahead. This month, inside the Iron Council, we'll be exploring and deep-diving into the systems and processes I use and what the 500+ members are using to achieve maximum results. We'll help you unpackage your systems, explore what's working, remove what isn't, and rebuild a strategy that will ensure your success. If you'd like to know more and build your blueprint for success, band with us inside the Iron Council. You'll get the tools, challenges, assignments, camaraderie, and brotherhood needed to thrive.
