Do influencer parents trade in their kids' privacy for the hope of financial security?Kids are everywhere on the Internet – and not just playing on Roblox. They're the stars of many family influencing pages that document kids' lives: from the intimate details of their births, to starting school, to going through puberty. That can come with a host of problems – but also a ton of money. So what happens when parents trade their kids' privacy for the hope of financial security? And how does that content play into feedback loops about what family life should look like?Brittany gets into it with Fortesa Latifi, senior writer at Yahoo! and author of Like, Follow, Subscribe: Influencer Kids and the Cost of Childhood Online.(00:00) The cost of a childhood online(02:48) How Mommy blogging transformed into family influencing(07:39) Just how much do family influencers make?(10:37) Online exploitation risks(16:36) How influencing distorts family life(24:59) Should kids be influencers?For more episodes on parenting, kids, and modern life, check out:The fear & shame of modern parentingAre children a marginalized group?The real meaning of "6 7"Support Public Media.

Who's Influencing You? (Proverbs 13:20; Proverbs 27:17)The direction of your life is deeply shaped by the people you choose to walk with. Proverbs reminds us that relationships are never neutral. They are always influencing who we become. Wise people intentionally surround themselves with people who point them toward Christ, sharpen their character, and speak truth with love. As we pay attention to who is shaping us, evaluate where they're leading us, and remain humble enough to receive honest correction, God uses those relationships to grow us into the people He is calling us to be.
Influencer marketing is not a paradigm shift. At best it's an over-inflated investment (in the billions), at worst it's serving up false credibility to audiences, masked as ‘trust'. And yet, it's all that seemed to be on the agenda at Cannes this year, and is being heavily weighted in the marketing media mix by marketers that should know better. Is marketing through influencers, or content creators, a waste of money then? Ramanathan Vythilingam says no - if it's intentionally used. Ram has been researching the effectiveness of influencer campaigns, following two decades behind the scenes at Unilever. He says the name of the game now is to get savvy and more protective of brand assets and marketing dollars, especially in this marketing era of abundance and clutter.---Learn more:Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & Substack & jolepore.comConnect with Ram on LinkedIn Read Ram's WARC article on influencer marketing---⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference!---Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

In this episode of Wellness Talk, George tackles a question that affects nearly everyone: Who should we trust for nutrition advice—doctors or social media influencers? With health information flooding our feeds every day, he explores the strengths and weaknesses of both and discusses how to separate evidence-based guidance from online hype.Next, George puts nutrition recommendations into perspective by breaking down the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for key vitamins and minerals. You'll learn just how much real food it actually takes to meet your daily nutrient needs—and why understanding the difference between nutrients from whole foods and supplements can help you make smarter dietary choices.In the second half of the show, John examines the growing influence of artificial intelligence on the next generation. As AI rapidly transforms the workplace, could children become discouraged from pursuing certain careers because they believe machines will replace them? John discusses how parents and educators can help kids develop confidence, creativity, and adaptability in a future where AI is changing the rules—but human potential remains irreplaceable.Join us for an engaging conversation about nutrition, technology, and preparing ourselves—and our children—for a healthier, smarter future.www.georgebatista.comwww.johnhenrysoto.com*This content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Six years ago, aged just 15, Sneha Revanur founded the AI advocacy nonprofit Encode AI — back when AI felt like a niche issue. Now the world's caught up with her, and she's ready to share everything she's learned about the politics of AI.Encode has grown from a grassroots youth organisation to spearheading an unlikely coalition of AI-exposed groups — family-first conservatives, grieving mothers, Hollywood actors, and AI safety researchers — with the strength to take on $125m-funded anti-regulation lobbyists.So far, Encode's strategy of taking many experimental swings has netted major victories (including California's frontier AI safety bill, SB-53, and New York's RAISE Act) as well as some disappointing setbacks.Going up against Big Tech hasn't been easy. In 2025, OpenAI subpoenaed Encode's general counsel at his home, with a sheriff's deputy arriving while he was having dinner with his wife. The fallout went viral, resulting in more attention than Encode had ever experienced — and Sneha was forced to decide how hard to push back against a company she'd need to negotiate with for years to come.In today's conversation, Zershaaneh Qureshi interrogates some of Encode's strategic moves. The pair discuss all the above, plus:How the AI industry's crypto-inspired anti-regulation strategy is not “AGI-pilled”Why AI advocacy doesn't have to be held back by the slow pace of policyHow mutual trust can hold together the unlikeliest of political alliesAdvice for aspiring AI advocates — including how to balance political persuasion with rigorous reasoning Due to technical issues, this episode was recorded across two days (May 26 and 28, 2026) and spliced together.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/SRChapters:Cold open (00:00:00) Who's Sneha Revanur?

In this episode, we hear from Anouschka Rajah, Research and Analysis Manager at More in Common and joint author of the 2025 Course Correction report on public attitudes to criminal justice. More in Common was founded in the aftermath of the tragic murder of Jo Cox MP in 2016 and carries out public opinion research to inform politicians, policy makers and the media on how communities across the country view major issues facing society, including crime and justice. Anouschka talks about the backlash politicians fear from the public by pushing ahead with reforms to the current justice system - they fear losing voters who will criticise changes they're announcing for being too soft on crime. She explains how being seen to be supporting anything other than the current status quo, or what is seen as public opinion, has the potential to create an electoral “nightmare”. She reminds politicians that “Twitter is not Britain” and that research shows the public are in fact a lot more nuanced than they get credit for. Edwina and Anouschka agree the public have lost faith in the current system and talk about how most people don't want money to be spent on just building more prisons. They discuss the complexity of public opinions on crime and punishment, noting that the media often focuses on extreme cases with the debate appearing to be polarised. However, Anouschka confirms that focus groups show people actually want a case-by-case approach to sentencing - recognising the need for rehabilitative measures whilst also considering public safety. Women, especially mothers with families, are more likely to receive support for community sentences. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Admiral Hyman G. Rickover had a huge task, development a naval nuclear propulsion program that will use the technology efficiently and safely for years to come. Now known as the "Father of Nuclear Navy," it is safe to say that mission was accomplished. During his career however, he brought many into his sphere of influence and advised many other federal leaders and even presidents about nuclear power to make sure it gets the care and attention it needs. Now one of his long time assistants has written a book about the life and career of the admiral, who I jumped at the chance to speak with, seeing as my own grandfather served under him in the U.S. Navy. I had the pleasure of speaking with Joann DiGennaro, who is the co-founder and now president of the Center for Excellence in Education, an organization the admiral himself created.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Join us LIVE AT FIVE (PT) on YouTube for the watch party every Wednesday: https://www.youtube.com/@birdsandbeesdontfck Caitlin V is a sex and relationship coach, former sexuality researcher, author of Harder, Better, Longer, Stronger, and host of Good Sex on HBO Max from Michigan where her earliest sex education included a fifth-grade period lesson, a graphic STI scare slide in health class, and years of curiosity about pleasure that she had already discovered on her own. In this episode we talk about what men actually want help with in their sex lives, why performance goals like "lasting longer" rarely solve the real problem, and how intimacy, not frequency, is what most couples are actually craving. Caitlin shares how she went from academic sex research at the Kinsey Institute to coaching men about sex and relationships, why maintenance sex can quietly kill desire, and how intention, presence, and curiosity can transform a sex life. We also get into astrology and sexual chemistry, loud sex and the connection between breath and orgasm, group dynamics in intimacy, why coaching spaces for men matter, and the surprising way Caitlin realized academia wasn't where she wanted to make her impact.

Tucker Carlson has stayed in the headlines over the past few days through a mix of new content, political intervention, and ongoing debate over his influence. According to the New York Times and Politico, Carlson has continued releasing episodes of his Tucker Carlson Network show and podcast, focusing heavily on immigration, crime, and the 2026 presidential race, with recent segments amplifying claims about migrant-related violence and criticizing both major parties' handling of the border. These episodes have prompted fresh backlash from media critics and civil rights advocates, who argue that his framing of demographic and crime issues continues to echo themes associated with the “great replacement” narrative, while his supporters on X and in right-leaning outlets praise him as one of the few voices challenging establishment consensus. Axios and Semafor report that Carlson has also been active behind the scenes in Republican politics, appearing at private donor gatherings and strategy sessions with populist-aligned candidates down-ballot. While there is still no indication he plans to run for office himself, GOP operatives quoted in these reports describe him as an informal power broker whose endorsement and on-air attention can dramatically boost fundraising and primary momentum, especially for candidates running to the right of party leadership. On the media-business front, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal note that Carlson's subscription-based Tucker Carlson Network continues to expand internationally, with new language-subtitled content and distribution partnerships targeted at audiences in Europe and Latin America. At the same time, his earlier high-profile interview ventures, including sit-downs with foreign leaders and controversial figures, remain under scrutiny. Recent commentary in the Washington Post and the Guardian has revisited his past interview with Vladimir Putin and other authoritarian-leaning leaders, using it as a springboard for current debate over whether Carlson's platform functions as journalism, advocacy, or something closer to state-aligned propaganda when he deals with foreign strongmen. Legally and professionally, there have been no major new lawsuits made public against Carlson in the last few days, but legal analysts on MSNBC and CNN continue to reference the fallout from his earlier departure from Fox News as a case study in contractual control over talent and content in cable and streaming deals, especially as networks reassess the risks of highly polarizing personalities. Carlson's ongoing clashes with mainstream media figures also remain a talking point. Hosts on CNN, MSNBC, and several prominent podcasts have recently criticized his commentary on campus protests and immigration, while right-leaning influencers on X celebrate clips from his latest monologues as proof that legacy media is out of touch. This dynamic reinforces his role as a central, polarizing figure in the broader struggle over how audiences understand crime, immigration, foreign policy, and the future of American conservatism.

Would your children remember more about America's founding than an entire textbook?America turns 250 years old in just a few weeks, and the celebration has already begun. Most of you will go watch fireworks. But what if your children actually understood the people, the stories, the sacrifices, and the leadership that made America possible? It doesn't require a giant unit study or hours of preparation. Today I want to show you some simple ways to celebrate America 250 while inspiring a love of learning and having fun with your kids.History Is More Than Dates and Dead PeopleMost moms feel the pressure to cover the history and check off all the checkboxes. But history is so much bigger than that. When our kids were teenagers, they read a book in ninth grade called More Than Dates and Dead People — and that title says it all. We need to look at the stories of ordinary people who influenced others. That's leadership. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.America 250, right now in the summertime when you may not even be doing regular school, is the perfect opportunity to help our kids see themselves as part of a much bigger picture.Paul Revere — One Ordinary Person Who Changed HistoryLet's start with Paul Revere and his Midnight Ride. Longfellow wrote a whole poem about it — The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere — and I still remember reciting it in junior high.Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. On the 18th of April in 75, hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year.Most families know who Paul Revere is. But do they realize he was just a silversmith? When we were in Boston, we actually got to visit his house. He was just an ordinary craftsman who risked arrest to warn fellow patriots that the British troops were moving in on Lexington and Concord. One regular person used his influence to help change history.So how could you apply this to your family? Read a one-page biography of someone from 250 years ago in America. Read it aloud at lunch and ask one question — how did this person influence others? Then close your mouth and see what they say. That's leadership education in action. How easy is that?Great Books Bring History to LifeOne of the easiest ways to learn history — and the way we did it best — was through literature. Kids remember stories so much more than worksheets.One of our favorites is Johnny Tremaine. Johnny begins the story as a proud silversmith's apprentice, goes through a lot of hardship, makes mistakes, grows in friendships and responsibilities, and eventually grows into a leader during the American Revolution. Kids naturally connect with his struggles, and you can discuss courage, teachability, responsibility, and wise decision-making as you go through the book.Instead of worksheets, add some hands-on activities. Build a Boston Tea Party crane. Become a midnight messenger like Paul Revere. Do a colonial apprenticeship project. Make colonial meals together. My kids always perked up when food was involved. Learning becomes so much more memorable when you're doing history — not just memorizing and regurgitating facts.What could you do this week or next week? Read one chapter from a historical book. Have your kids narrate what they hear each day and ask one question — what leadership trait did this person show? Or not show? Not everyone's a good leader. Get a book from the library and start reading. That's enough.Abigail Adams — Leadership Doesn't Always Look Like Standing in Front of a CrowdA lot of people think it was only men participating 250 years ago. That is just not true. There were plenty of strong women fighting for the cause and supporting their families. Abigail Adams is one of them.She was home while John Adams was away serving his country — managing the farm, the finances, the household, and the children during very uncertain times. Many homeschool moms I know can relate to carrying the weight of everything that's going on.Her letters reveal courage, wisdom, and perseverance. On March 31st, 1776 — 250 years ago — John was helping to shape a new government. Here's what Abigail wrote:Remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.That sounds simple at first, but it reveals so much wisdom. Abigail understood that a new nation wasn't just about defeating Great Britain. It was about creating a better society. She encouraged leaders to think not only about the immediate crisis but also about the rights and needs of others.Leadership isn't always standing in front of a crowd. Sometimes it's a thoughtful letter. A meaningful conversation. Influencing the people around you. Something homeschool moms do every day. You are influencing the next generation. You may feel like you're not doing much, but you have more impact on your children than anyone else. Leadership is happening around the kitchen table.Patrick Henry and the Courage to Say What Others Won'tOn March 23rd, 1775, Patrick Henry challenged Virginians to prepare for difficult days. And one of the lines that most of us can remember — I hope your children will remember it too — is this: Give me liberty, or give me death.His speech helped persuade many colonists to take action when others were still uncertain what to do. He had influence.What could you do with his story? Read his speech and then ask — would you choose liberty? Or would you choose to just do whatever everyone else tells you, whatever the government says? There's a lot of conversation right there for your family. Have you ever needed courage to do something difficult? What does courage look like for a child? What does it look like for a homeschool mom?You Don't Need More Resources — You Need the Right OneThe problem with history isn't a lack of resources. There are resources abounding — printable packs, websites, YouTube videos. The problem is too many resources. You could spend 5 to 10 hours just trying to figure out what to do over the next few weeks. What you need is something that's organized and ready to use.America 250 is more than a birthday celebration. It's an opportunity to help your kids understand freedom, responsibility, leadership, and character. You don't have to recreate this in a classroom. Find some great books to read, tell great stories, have meaningful conversations around the dinner table, and let your kids see that history comes alive.250 years ago, ordinary people made choices that changed history. Paul Revere. Abigail Adams. Patrick Henry. Today, the conversations you have around the dinner table will influence the next generation just as quickly.That's why we made our America 250 Leadership and Freedom Bundle. It includes our Leadership and Freedom Unit Study, a bonus Johnny Tremaine literature study with silversmith STEM activities, history, writing, and math, a Flag Day unit study, a 4th of July unit study, and an Election Day unit study for November. It's literature-based, hands-on, all ages can learn at the same time, and it's leadership-focused. Every activity has a leadership tie-in.It's not a bunch of worksheets. It's not a textbook with multiple choice questions. It's easy for moms to use, it's all in one place, and you can start this week with Flag Day.Use code 250 to save 20%.

"It costs you nothing to be respectful, but it will cost you relationships if you assume the worst in other people every time." Former Salesforce Senior Director David Fung joins host Josh Seldin to tackle the ultimate challenge of matrixed organizations: how to get things done when you aren't the boss. David pulls back the curtain on the psychology of human behavior, showing leaders how to move away from command-and-control tactics and step into a culture of high-yielding influence. Josh and David explore the "What's in it for me?" (WIIFM) factor, why flatter organizations require a complete abandonment of corporate egos, and how to successfully hold peers accountable when deadlines slip. From building cross-functional "piggy banks" of trust to dealing with holiday weekend emergencies, this episode provides a sharp, real-world playbook on how to lead effectively using credibility, authentic connection, and strategic relevance. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Authority Fallacy: Why relying on a title or organizational hierarchy to drive priorities results in checked-out teams who only do the bare minimum. ✅ The Influencer Triad: Mastering the three requirements of non-authoritative leadership—establishing deep structural credibility, forging human connection, and maintaining radical relevance. ✅ Bypassing the Transactional Trap: How to stop treating corporate relationships like a fast-food order and start building genuine, proactive rapport across departments. ✅ Uncovering Hidden Leverage: Strategies for finding shared commonalities and collective alignment across seemingly disconnected departmental silos. ✅ Peer-to-Peer Accountability: A live roleplay framework for politely but firmly holding cross-functional colleagues accountable to their commitments through the lens of integrity. ✅ The True Cost of Respect: Understanding how a baseline of humility, transparency, and empathy acts as your most powerful currency for sustainable, long-term career success.

New research paints a gloomier picture for business leaders. The latest 2degrees Shaping Business Report suggests optimism about post-pandemic recovery has fallen away. It says leaders are now shifting from recovery mode to simply playing the hand they've got. Chief Business Officer Andrew Fairgray told Heather du Plessis-Allan people were looking for a return to normalcy in the years since Covid, but with all the volatility, businesses are starting to realise they need to control their own outcomes. But he says there are still some signs of positivity and moving forward, just in the new normal. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Summary Lt Gen Clint Hinote, USAF (Ret.), and CH(COL) Light Shin, USA, join host Josh Jackson to examine influencer culture through a biblical lens. Hinote brings decades of military leadership experience and is now building a speaking ministry focused on integrating Christian faith and leadership into a single, unified message. Shin serves as an active-duty Army chaplain and father of three daughters, navigating influencer culture's effects on faith and family in real time. Both will be speaking on the theme of influence at OCF's White Sulphur Springs Conference Center this summer. The conversation begins by establishing a biblical framework for thinking about influence—one that applies to all Christians before it applies to military officers specifically. A few key distinctions anchor everything that follows. First, the platform versus the algorithm. Both guests agree that social media platforms are morally neutral—the tool itself is neither good nor evil. Hinote compares them to the Roman road system: the same infrastructure used to carry armies also carried the early gospel across the known world. What man built for one purpose, God can use for another. The YouVersion Bible App is offered as a contemporary example of Christians using technology with vision for gospel purposes. The algorithms driving those platforms, however, are a different matter. They are deliberately engineered not to inform or build up users, but to keep them scrolling—by targeting base impulses, feeding comparison, and manufacturing shame. Hinote frames these as the "flaming arrows" of Ephesians 6, and the first thing you see on social media that triggers envy, comparison, or temptation is an arrow. Recognize it. Raise your shield of faith. Second, influencer versus witness. Shin draws a sharp distinction from Acts 1:8, saying that an influencer seeks to build a following but a witness tells the truth about what they have seen and heard, regardless of the audience's reaction. Both guests agree that Christian influence should be a byproduct of a Christ-centered life—not a goal pursued in its own right. When influence becomes the goal, self replaces God at the center. The framework they offer is simple: know Christ above all things, do what Christ commanded, and become more like Jesus through that ongoing, lifelong process. Influence, rightly understood, flows from that. As Shin puts it, the question worth asking regularly is: "Whose kingdom did I build today—God's or mine?" Third, authenticity over curation. The lie of influencer culture, Hinote argues, is that you have to look like you have it all figured out. In reality, authenticity builds trust, and trust is what creates genuine influence. This is as true in the gospel as it is in personal branding, and the early church wrestled with the same pull toward following personalities over Christ, as Paul addresses directly in 1 Corinthians 1:12. The standard the guests return to throughout is 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV): "Always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you—yet do it with gentleness and respect." With that foundation in place, the conversation turns to what this means specifically for Christian officers serving in uniform. Referenced in this conversation: Summer R&R 2 at WSS (Hinote) Summer R&R 6 at WSS (Shin) YouVersion Bible App The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timothy Keller Questions answered and themes covered in this interview include: How is social media affecting the younger generation entering military service? Young people entering the military are increasingly shaped by a worldview centered on self-promotion, curated personas, and metrics of online acceptance. This stands in direct tension with what military formation is designed to accomplish. The foundational goal of basic training is the breakdown of individual ego and the subordination of self to the unit. Shin references Timothy Keller's The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness as the counterpoint to what he observes: recruits arriving not in freedom, but in what he calls "bondage of self-obsession"—more concerned with how they're perceived on a platform than how they're showing up for the person next to them. Hinote adds that this tension isn't new, and that American individualism has always been something the military has had to address. However, the platforms intensify that individualism by continuously reinforcing exactly the self-focused impulses that military culture is trying to dismantle. Character development must be continuous and intentional, not treated as something institutions address only when there's time. Resource: The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timothy Keller How do I share my faith as a military officer without it being weird or forced? Start by living the message before communicating it, and know which role you're speaking from at any given moment. Hinote, drawing from his own experience rising through senior military ranks, offers a framework that proved practically useful. When you are on a platform, in uniform, with rank on your shoulders and a flag behind you, you are speaking from a position of institutional authority, and conflating that authority with the authority of Christ risks manipulation and coercion, which is not Christlike leadership. In settings where you have more personal freedom—as a church member, a neighbor, a citizen—you have more latitude to speak openly about your faith. The key is empathy: always consider what role your audience sees you occupying. In either context, when you fail—and you will—own it and apologize. Authenticity builds trust. Trust creates real influence. A practical starting point Hinote recommends for any developing leader is this: keep a journal, write down every role you hold, and identify the through line connecting them all. Then live that through line. The standard throughout is 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV): "Always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you—yet do it with gentleness and respect." Statistics and data shared this episode (plus a few extra not included): A working definition of influencer culture: Influencer culture is a social and economic phenomenon created when social media platforms reward people for curating a public identity, performing for engagement, and building an audience around themselves. Influencers use their platform to shape the opinions, lifestyles, and purchasing decisions of their audience. Every generation is influenced in some way by influencer marketing: 55% of Gen Z trust influencer recommendations, compared with 44% of Millennials, 35% of Gen X, and 28% of Baby Boomers (2025 Clutch survey). StoryBox says there are approximately 127 million active social media influencers worldwide—roughly 2.4% of the global social media user base of 5+ billion people. EMarketer breaks that down into 4 tiers of influencers: Nano: 1,000–10,000 followers; Micro: 10,000–100,000 followers; Macro: 100,000–1 million followers; and Mega/celebrity: 1 million+ followers. The vast majority of influencers on TikTok (nearly 88%) are nano-influencers and Instagram follows a similar pattern with nano-influencers representing about 76% of its influencers (eMarketer). According to some reports, military-related content on TikTok alone amassed over 15 billion views in 2023; look up #MilTok. Military.com calls it the rise of soldier influencers. Influencer culture is not just shaping what people buy (or which branch to join)—it's doing three things: It's shaping how an entire generation sees themselves, forms relationships, and decides who to trust. Consider the following: In terms of how they see themselves: Writer and Substack author Freya India, whose book GIRLS was published earlier this year, frames influencer culture this way—girls as young as 12 packaging themselves for Instagram, getting feedback on their appearance, measuring their worth in likes and followers. An adjacent stat is this: 47% of Gen Z often or always feel anxious (Gallup, 2023). That's the self-perception toll. In terms of forming relationships: A Harvard study says 61% of young adults ages 18–25 report profound loneliness—the highest rate of any age group. This is the one that tends to surprise people, because the assumption is that hyper-connected generations would be less lonely or that older generations would be the loneliest. In terms of deciding who to trust: Only 8% of Gen Z say there's a religious leader they can turn to (Springtide Research). And from Edelman—religious and faith leaders rank at 44% trust rate among Gen Z, well below doctors, scientists, and teachers. But here's the flip side: family members rank at 88% trust. The hunger for relational authority is still there and it's real. Instead, it's institutional authority that's taken a hit.
