The Baller Lifestyle Podcast Episode 601 — “Penguins, Coke Cans & Crocodile Cocksmen” From TheBallerLifestyle.com — Hosted by Brian Beckner & Ed Daly Episode Summary The guys return for Episode 601 with a Thanksgiving week warm-up, chat about Ed's November beard, the horrors of AI thumbnails featuring random white dudes, and an emotional tour through this week's RIPs. They break down everything from Jimmy Kimmel's lifelong bandmate to a tragic Last Chance U figure — plus a food influencer, a one-hit-wonder frontman, and multiple legendary athletes. Then it's onto sports: a Texas state trooper's big-time bitch move, O.J.'s estate finally paying up, Matt Kalil's “two Coke can” situation, and the dangerous reality of NFL painkiller culture. The voicemails bring a penguin joke and pure chaos. In non-sports, the guys revisit Hitler's micro-penis allegations and Kim Kardashian's delusional approach to law school. Finally, the Crocodile Hunter's son is now an underwear model, Russians are dismembering crypto scammers, and New Jersey dudes are crashing DeLoreans while hauling 87 baggies of coke. Another beautiful week at TBLS.

In this episode of The Non-Profit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Corey Poirier, an award-winning speaker, author, and founder of Blue Talks. Corey shared his journey and the inspiration behind Blue Talks, a global platform that merges business, life, and the universe, allowing individuals to discover their authentic voice and expand their influence. We delved into the importance of authenticity in leadership, especially for nonprofit and faith-based leaders. Corey emphasized that authenticity is the new currency in leadership, as people crave genuine connections and transparency. He discussed how leaders can overcome the tendency to hide behind titles and instead foster an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute. Corey also highlighted the significance of storytelling in effective communication. He addressed the common fear of public speaking, explaining that it often stems from the fear of the unknown. By preparing thoroughly and focusing on the audience rather than oneself, leaders can become more comfortable and impactful speakers. We explored practical strategies for improving public speaking skills, such as joining organizations like Toastmasters or offering no-fee talks to local chambers of commerce. Corey shared his personal experiences and insights on how to build confidence and competence in public speaking. As we wrapped up, Corey offered valuable advice on staying grounded and aligned with one's purpose, including the creation of a personal mission statement. This episode is packed with wisdom for nonprofit leaders looking to enhance their influence and create lasting change in their organizations. I encourage you to check out Corey's website, coreyporeamedia.com, and explore the resources available through Blue Talks. Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to our next conversation!

From Prison Garb to Neoclassical Chic: Style and Scandal in the Directory. During the Directory (circa 1795), Teresia (Madame Tallien) and Rose (not yet Josephine) held influential salons, using style to gain success in a world where women lacked financial empowerment. Their revolutionary fashion stemmed from the prison shift Teresia wore and the plain white cotton dresses worn by African American women in Martinique, Rose's home. This style—made often of diaphanous imported muslin—passed as neoclassicism but stunned observers due to the minimal amount of clothing worn. One famous wit observed that Teresia was "more expensively undressed" than anyone else. This radical departure from the previous "cage style" clothing, enforced by sumptuary laws and guilds, was made possible by the abolition of guilds and the collective trauma of the Terror. It was at Teresia's gathering that Napoleon, then a Corsican in shoddy clothes, became entranced by Rose (Josephine).

We sat down with Amos Balongo, keynote speaker and communications coach, to explore a subject rarely discussed in the nonprofit space — personal visibility. Amos challenges the traditional mindset that humility and impact must exist in separate spheres, proposing instead that visibility is both a professional asset and a form of leadership.Speaking from Honolulu, Amos sets the stage with a simple truth: “If you don't speak for your work, nobody else will.” His message resonates deeply within a sector that often prizes quiet service over self-advocacy. For Amos, visibility isn't vanity — it's strategy. He reframes communication as the ability to connect and insists that becoming visible is a learnable habit rather than an innate gift. “It's not hope; it's a strategy,” he says. “You have to be bold, brief, and strategic.”Show host Julia Patrick draws the connection to the real-world nonprofit landscape, where professionals work tirelessly to amplify their organizations while neglecting their own personal brands. The result, Amos explains, is that talent often remains unseen. Visibility, he emphasizes, begins with intentionality — knowing your stakeholders, communicating outcomes instead of effort, and building recognition across and beyond your nonprofit.Amos's philosophy merges clarity with courage. He invites nonprofit leaders to reject the old adage “let your work speak for itself” and instead cultivate everyday visibility — a daily practice of sharing progress, celebrating results, and speaking with confidence. He notes that humility isn't silence; it's authenticity. The key is to shift from describing how hard you've worked to explaining the difference your work has made.Networking, too, takes on new meaning. Rather than collecting business cards, Amos urges purposeful connection rooted in belief, preparation, and authenticity. “Networking is an inside job before it becomes an outside job,” he asserts, reminding listeners that confidence in oneself and one's mission radiates outward.Ultimately, this conversation transcends self-promotion. It's about alignment between who you are and how you are perceived — an integrity-driven approach to leadership. Visibility, Amos concludes, is not a one-time project but a lifelong habit, built daily through connection, clarity, and courage.#TheNonprofitShow #LeadershipVisibility #NonprofitBrandingFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

I've always enjoyed interviewing Chris during his rise as a respected but, in retrospect, underrated boxer who upset big names to become world champion. Spectacular nights followed in his hometown of Bournemouth. Then came defeat in 2024 to Gilberto Ramirez. But Chris' hunger for the sport remains ravenous. He's very candid though about the sense of internal conflict he feels being away from his two little boys. He's very real in articulating something I've experienced and I think a lot of us can identify with - the pull to provide coupled with the pain of not being able to be physically present with our kids because of our jobs. He also speaks here powerfully and glowingly about a former high-school teacher who left a lasting impression on him and others - Mr Clayton. I'm sure a lot of us can resonate with the idea of a hugely influential teacher. Mr Sockelov and Mr Dudah (I can't remember the spellings, sorry as both were from Eastern European families) left a lasting mark on me and I think it's important for teachers to here stories like Chris'. Teachers - you are vital!Thought s on this? Fatherhood? Influential teachers? 

In this insightful episode of The Quiet Warrior Podcast, I speak with Susan Barber — a leadership visibility coach, former Fortune 500 executive, and author of The Visibility Factor and the upcoming Your Journey to Visibility Workbook.Susan shares her powerful journey from sitting quietly in the back of corporate meeting rooms to becoming a visible, influential leader who helps others do the same. Drawing from 25 years at Kraft Heinz, she opens up about overcoming imposter syndrome, reframing self-doubt, and learning to take small, consistent actions toward visibility — all while staying true to her introverted nature.If you've ever wondered how to be seen and heard without being loud, this conversation will inspire you to start your own journey — one micro-action at a time.In This Episode, We Discuss:Evolving from invisible to visible: how Susan went from hiding in the back of meetings to sitting confidently at the executive table.Reframing imposter syndrome: why feeling unsure can actually be a sign of growth — and how humility can work in your favor.Preparation over panic: how introverts can replace the fear of “freezing up” with calm readiness and self-trust.Feedback as fuel for growth: Susan's practical advice for exploring — not fearing — feedback, and using it as a leadership superpower.Little experiments, big impact: how to build confidence through small, strategic steps instead of giant leaps.Owning your narrative: why it's essential to define how you want others to perceive you — and how to start embodying that version of yourself today.Key Takeaways:Visibility isn't about self-promotion; it's about sharing value and contributing meaningfully.Every interaction is an opportunity for visibility — from meetings to everyday conversations.Being visible can start with something as small as offering help, asking a thoughtful question, or sharing your team's wins.You were hired for a reason. Your voice and ideas matter.Confidence grows from trusting yourself, trying new things, and staying curious.Resources Mentioned:The Visibility Factor  Your Journey to Visibility Workbook (upcoming)Free resource: The Introvert's Guide to Visibility and Influence in the WorkplaceConnect with Susan on LinkedInVisit Susan's website: www.susanmbarber.comQuote Highlights“Every interaction is an opportunity for visibility — don't waste it.”“You were hired for a reason.

This is part three of three going over my talk from MagicCon: Atlanta looking at the top 20 most influential Magic expansions of all time.

You know that feeling when you look around at the news, your job, your relationships, and everything feels a little out of control? Like no matter what you do, it's never enough to really make a difference? I get it. So many of us are carrying that quiet sense of powerlessness right now. But here's the thing: you have more influence than you realize. You've just never been shown how to use it. In this episode, I'm talking with Cynthia Rivard, business strategist, and author of A New Breed of Leader, about what it truly means to become influential. Not in the “stand at the front of the room” kind of way, but in the real, human way that changes how you show up for yourself, your relationships, and your community. We're getting into influential leadership as a way of life - how to lead from within, ripple change outward, and shift from helplessness to hope through small, intentional action. This isn't about being in charge, but about being conscious, compassionate, and brave enough to start where you are. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why We Feel Powerless & How to Become Influential 03:22 Redefining Leadership: Everyday Influence & Micro Leadership 05:05 Ripple Effects: How Small Actions Shape Others 11:28 Building Trust as the Core of Influential Leadership 13:11 Staying Grounded in Conflict & Division 23:52 Compassionate vs. Authoritative Leadership 25:00 Vision and Action: Breaking Free from Inaction 31:45 Overcoming Analysis Paralysis with Micro Actions 39:03 Enrolling Others in Your Vision 43:29 Key Takeaways on Influential Leadership   If you've been feeling ready to show up differently in your relationships, your work, or your life, I'd love to support you as you start putting that influence into action. You can schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my team. It's a private, supportive space where you can share what's been on your mind, whether that's building confidence, finding your voice, or learning how to lead your life with intention. We'll help you get matched with the right expert so you can move forward feeling clear, encouraged, and hopeful. I'd also love to stay connected beyond the podcast. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube, where I share stories, reflections, and gentle reminders to help you stay intentional as you lead your own life. And if something from this conversation really hit home, tell me about it - I'd love to hear how you're using your influence out in the world. Let's keep this conversation going! xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

Professor Jackson takes a step back to review themes from episodes 187 through 189 (War in Europe and America's Response), specifically the slow turn from isolationism to aid via Lend-Lease, and eventually to preparing for war.  Prof. Jackson's guests are Professor Lindsey Cormack, an associate professor of political science at Stevens Institute of Technology, and historian Lynne Olson, author of several books on WW2 including Citizens of London which chronicles the pivotal role played by three Americans who influenced the decisions of President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill—Edward R. Murrow, Averell Harriman, and John Gilbert Winant. Olson emphasizes how these individuals navigated the complexities of diplomacy and public opinion, often against a backdrop of American isolationism and British skepticism, ultimately building a strong relationship that was essential for the war effort.  ____ Connect with us on ⁠HTDSpodcast.com⁠ and go deep into ⁠episode bibliographies⁠ and ⁠book recommendations⁠ join discussions in our ⁠Facebook community⁠ get news and discounts from ⁠The HTDS Gazette⁠  come ⁠see a live show⁠ get ⁠HTDS merch⁠ or become an ⁠HTDS premium⁠ member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode of Calling All Christians, Jacob Hansen and Greg Matsen dive headfirst into one of the most heated conversations happening right now across Christian media: Are Latter-day Saints (Mormons) truly Christians?        We unpack the recent wave of discussions that have swept the nation—fueled by shocking events and bold public claims. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk, to the tragic attack and shooting at a Latter-day Saint chapel in Grand Blanc, Michigan, emotions and tensions are running high. Influential voices like Mark Driscoll and others have made pointed claims that “Mormons are not Christians,” fueling the flames and sparking widespread debate among believers.        Jacob and Greg respond thoughtfully and unapologetically—addressing theology, history, and the heart of discipleship. But more importantly, this conversation looks beyond division. It's a call to all believers in Jesus Christ, regardless of denomination, to stand united for a greater good in an increasingly hostile world. As culture grows darker, now is the time for followers of Christ to rally together, not tear each other apart.

Finding one's voice in climate action can come in many forms. Author and activist Taylor Brorby grew up in Center, North Dakota as a fourth-generation member of a fossil-fuel family. He struggled to find his place as a young gay kid who loved art, music, nature and poetry. Over time, he turned that tension into writing that challenges the fossil fuel industry, makes space for others stuck in a broken system, and inspires a more just future.  Suzie Hicks felt the weight of climate concerns but after college, didn't know what to do with those feelings. After doing an internship at the New England Aquarium, they realized they could merge their love of performing with a career focused on climate. With the help of a sunflower puppet named Sprout, Suzie created a children's show that teaches kids about climate change through a frame of possibility and hope, not doom and gloom.  Guests: Taylor Brorby, Activist, Author, “Boys and Oil: Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land” Suzie Hicks, Climate Media Maker and Educator Episode Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 00:30 – New York Climate Week recap 02:20 – Taylor Brorby describes the N.D. town where he grew up 05:00 – What he learned from the prairie landscape 07:30 – Other queer writers from the Great Plains 13:30 – Influential environmental writers 17:00 – Writing optimistically rather than dystopian narratives 20:00 – Getting arrested protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline 25:30 – Why we need to be supporting rural writers 30:00 – Project Tundra, a carbon capture project near Center, N.D. 34:00 – Origins of Suzie Hicks, the Climate Chick 36:30 – It's okay to have complicated feelings about climate change 40:00 – Working with kid's existing love for nature in educating them about climate change 42:00 – Why introduce kids to climate change?

After the fatal shooting of right-wing personality Charlie Kirk on Wednesday afternoon, the rhetoric on the right quickly escalated. Influential voices on social media declared war on the left, despite the absence of any knowledge about the suspect or their motive at the time. President Donald Trump made a formal address where he pledged to go after the “radical left.” “We are seeing language weaponized so swiftly,” says Intercept columnist Natasha Lennard. “I think the Trump administration has a clear track record at this point of taking these little chips that they can leverage to induce state repression and encroach on civil liberties,” says Ali Breland, a staff writer at The Atlantic.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Akela Lacy speaks to Lennard and Breland about the implications of Kirk's killing and how we think about political violence in the U.S. “We already know that whoever it does turn out to be, we are living in a moment with an authoritarian government that will weaponize this moment either way,” says Lennard. “This is about finding any opportunity to further escalate the white nationalist project.”“I worry that his assassination is a progression toward something darker in which a wider group of people are considered to be targets for political violence,” says Breland. “And I don't think that the rhetoric that's coming out right now is doing anything to stop it or off-ramp us on this dark path.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer discusses Angelica Schuyler Church (1755-1814), a prominent figure during the American Revolution. Born to the influential Schuyler family in Albany, Angelica was well-educated, a trait uncommon for women of her time but typical for Dutch families. She eloped with John Carter (later John Barker Church), much to her family's dismay, a decision perhaps driven by love for the cosmopolitan Englishman. Angelica was deeply involved in the revolutionary cause, supporting the French army and maintaining a strong patriotic identity even while living in London after the war. She cultivated extensive connections with key figures like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Lafayette. 1924 MESS HALL
