Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. Summary of the Interview: Dr. Willie Jolley on Money Making Conversations Masterclass Dr. Willie Jolley—Hall of Fame speaker, bestselling author, and longtime SiriusXM host—joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his new book Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better. The conversation focuses on redefining wealth, transforming money mindsets, developing discipline, and overcoming setbacks to build generational prosperity. Throughout the interview, Dr. Jolley shares insights gathered over 20 years of interviewing billionaires, CEOs, and major wealth creators. He outlines the crucial difference between being rich (high income) and being wealthy (owning assets that work without you). He emphasizes the role of discipline, humility, learning, and generational thinking in achieving sustainable wealth. The interview closes with Jolley’s personal comeback story—from nightclub singer to world‑renowned speaker—and his message that it’s never too late to change your financial future. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Promote and explain Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better,” which clarifies the difference between income-based wealth (rich) and asset‑based, multi‑generational wealth (wealthy). 2. Teach listeners how to shift their money mindset Jolley walks through the five levels of money thinking, showing how most Americans operate in the lower levels due to habit or lack of knowledge. 3. Encourage financial independence and discipline Listeners—especially entrepreneurs and families—learn the role of discipline, insurance, multiple income streams, and investment. 4. Provide motivation through Jolley’s story His setback-to-comeback story proves that financial and personal reinvention is possible at any age. 5. Address generational wealth and financial stewardship The book is also written for parents/grandparents worried their heirs may squander what they built. Key Takeaways 1. The crucial difference between rich and wealthy Rich = working income; stops when you stop. Wealthy = assets + systems; money works even when you don’t. Rich is “good”—but wealth is “better” because it is sustainable. 2. Wealth begins with mindset Jolley identifies five money mindsets: One‑day mindset (daily survival) 30‑day mindset (check-to-check) One‑year mindset Decade mindset (athletes/entertainers) Generational mindset (true wealth builders) His goal: move people one level higher. 3. Discipline is the #1 lever for wealth Wealth requires: Living below your means Consistent investment Protecting what you have Maintaining health, relationships, reputation, and intellectual capital 4. The “Five Types of Wealth” Financial wealth Health wealth Relationship wealth Reputational/brand wealth Intellectual capital wealthAll contribute to long-term prosperity. 5. The 3 Legs of Wealth Income Save & invest the difference Insurance to protect assets (life, health, disability, long‑term care) 6. At least two streams of income are essential Examples: stocks, real estate, crypto, collectibles, content creation. 7. Pride destroys wealth People overspend to look successful rather than be successful.Pride → debt → stress → financial ruin.Humility → learning → planning → wealth. 8. It’s never too late to become wealthy He shares stories of: A domestic worker who died with $2.7M A secretary who accumulated $8M A former drug dealer who reached nearly $900K starting at age 65All achieved wealth by small investments over long periods. 9. A setback is a setup for a comeback Jolley’s message is deeply motivational: Losing his singing job led him into speaking Speaking led to radio Radio led to books Books led to global influenceHe frames adversity as opportunity. Notable Quotes (from the transcript) On Wealth vs. Rich “Rich is good. Wealthy is better.” “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” “It’s hard to hit what you can’t see—and even harder to hit what you don’t know.” (on knowing the target) On Discipline “The key to success in growing wealth is discipline.” [ On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth. I had to let the pride go so I could grab hold of the wealth.” On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” “Your setback is not the end of the story unless you choose it to be.” On Starting Late “Anybody can become wealthy if you use these principles.” “When is the best time to plant a tree? 80 years ago. The second-best time? Today.” In One Sentence The interview teaches that becoming wealthy is less about income and more about mindset, discipline, humility, and long-term planning—and that anyone can build generational wealth starting right now. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean McMeekin introduces Stalin as a bandit and intellectual who adopted Lenin's theory of revolutionary defeatism, explaining how Stalin built Soviet industry by exploiting Western technology and capital during the Depression, often funding this through looted artwork and espionage.1881 GANGING THE STUDENT REVOLUTIONARIES
Travis is joined by his producer Eric for an unfiltered, off-the-cuff conversation that was never planned to be an episode—but absolutely needed to be one. What starts as a story about being blocked by the Instagram account Baller Busters turns into a deeper discussion about truth, intellectual honesty, online call-out culture, platforming controversial voices, and the responsibility that comes with “exposing” people online. This episode pulls back the curtain on how narratives are formed, how echo chambers are built, and how creators can disagree without becoming destructive. On this episode we talk about: The rise of exposure accounts and the dangers of online echo chambers What happened after Eric was blocked by Baller Busters for a neutral comment Intellectual honesty vs. outrage-driven content When coaching, investing, or online business crosses into “scam” territory How Travis decides who to platform—and why good-faith conversations matter Top 3 Takeaways Truth requires multiple perspectives. Blocking dissenting voices doesn't protect people—it reinforces narratives without accountability. Not every failure equals a scam. Coaching, investing, and entrepreneurship involve risk, and outcomes vary widely. Good-faith conversations beat outrage every time. If the goal is growth, connection, and learning, intent matters more than agreement. Notable Quotes “If you're going to expose people, you owe it to their lives and families to be intellectually honest.” “Blocking everyone who disagrees with you doesn't create truth—it creates an echo chamber.” “Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest with money in the bank.” Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/traviscchappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Creative & Intellectual Intimacy: Growing, Playing, and Building Meaning Together Episode Summary In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore creative and intellectual intimacy—two often overlooked but deeply powerful ways couples build connection, trust, and shared meaning. Rather than viewing intimacy as a checklist or a linear process, they describe it as a living, dynamic experience—one that ebbs and flows through shared ideas, curiosity, problem-solving, creativity, play, and growth. Through personal stories—reading books aloud early in marriage, building businesses, learning to dance, creating art, and dreaming about the future—they illustrate how couples grow closer when they think, create, and imagine together. The conversation also highlights how intellectual intimacy becomes a meaningful trust-builder, especially after betrayal, when partners begin sharing what they are learning, how they are changing, and what is happening in their inner world. When paired with creativity—planning, building, playing, or envisioning something together—these forms of intimacy foster bonding, growth, and renewed joy in the relationship. Listeners are invited to reflect on a simple but transformative question: Are we growing together—or have we stopped creating and learning side by side? For those who want to deepen these conversations and continue growing together, Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn invite listeners to the Second Annual Human Intimacy Conference (March 13–14). The conference brings together leading voices in healing, intimacy repair, grief, sexual reintegration, and relationship growth—and offers couples a powerful opportunity to learn together, reflect together, and strengthen both intellectual and creative intimacy.

What happens when you let philosophy escape the ivory tower and live in your body? Today's guest is Ximena, a Mexican eco-philosopher who ditched academic elitism for something far more dangerous: thinking as a radical act of love.We get into why rationality alone made her chronically ill (yes, really), how capitalism hijacked our concept of time, and why resistance fueled by joy might be the only kind that lasts. If you've tired of activism that depletes rather than sustains, this one's for you. We're philosophizing, asking the bigger questions, and as Ximena so eloquently states: making the intellectual visceral.Key themes:1. The Intellectual Turned VisceralPhilosophy often gets confused with being SUPER cerebral, but it's actually something you FEEL in your entire body. When intellectual work moves through your whole system, that's when transformation actually happens!2. Philosophy for Humans, Not Just PhilosophersAcademia gatekeeps philosophy with intentional jargon, but philosophizing is just having conversations with deep curiosity. It LITERALLY means love of wisdom. You're already a philosopher ;)3. Time, Capitalism, and the Productivity TrapCapitalism hijacked time itself, turning it from cyclical and embodied into linear, scarce, and productive, something to optimize rather than experience. We've internalized this timeline so deeply that rest feels like rebellion, and it's legit killing us.4. Resistance as LoveResistance rooted only in anger mimics the systems it's trying to dismantle, but real sustained resistance grows from love and knowing what you're for. The long revolution happens when we build the spaces we want to see, making resistance an act of imagination and joy rather than just critique.5. The Democratization of Knowledge as Radical ActPhilosophy trapped in universities serves power, but the tools of critical thinking are human capacities, not special skills reserved for people with degrees. Your questions are valid, your thinking is valuable, your philosophizing countssss!Connect with Ximena (and join the next round of ROOTED IMPACT):Substack (Ximena Ximena + Tuhella)InstagramVelvet Philosophy PodcastConnect with Chelsea:
SEGMENT 11: SCOTTISH ENLIGHTENMENT AND NORTH AMERICAN UNITY Guest: Arthur HermanHerman traces intellectual roots of Canadian-American cooperation to the Scottish Enlightenment's shared influence on both nations.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah speak with Ellie Avishai, who offers an inside look at how the ambitious project to build a bold new university — based on liberalism and open dialogue — fell victim to some of the same censorious behavior it sought to oust. The University of Austin was announced in 2021 with big names attached, perhaps none bigger (or more controversial) than Bari Weiss. Touting itself as a “coalition of the sane” at a time when college campuses seemed to be veering off-course, UATX was an inspiration to many, including Avishai, who joined forces with UATX through her own project, the Mill Institute, to help educators foster more open dialogue in classrooms. As a recent Politico story lays out, things did not go as planned.We talk about why a modest social media post led to Avishai getting booted from UATX and how the dogma of woke is transforming into the dogma of anti-woke, not just at one university but throughout culture.Also discussed:* How education departments got flooded with reductive social justice ideas* The prescriptive, anti-meaning-making stuff that went on in the social justice movement…* “… to be clear, this wasn't just Harvard.”* Also: Harvard is pretty awesome!* Intellectual “space spaces” versus psychological “safe spaces”* “If you can't teach Plato in a college course, you're out of your mind.”* #MeToo controversy at UATX* How do you prove the strength of your core ideas if you won't let them be tested?* Where is Bari Weiss in all this?* When open dialogue is perceived as weak sauce* Cannibal-Americans?Plus, ‘70s football greatness, three books to read aloud in bed, the phenomenon that is Heated Rivalry, and much more!
We welcome in the new year with a full house today, Slushies, as we discuss two poems from Cal Freeman. The first poem's title glacier reminds Kathy of this year's epic snowfall in Juneau, Alaska (though it's forty inches, not forty feet, of snow). All that snow reminds Lisa of Boston's Vile Pile of snow that would not melt until July. Kathy deftly segues that memory back to our own slush pile. We admire Freeman's use of sonics in “Glacial Erratics” and the poem's subtle gestures towards relationship strife. We all agree we're stealing the poet's apt description of “overwrought craft beer.” Since the second poem, “A White Bird,” is a classic Italian or Petrarchan sonnet, the discussion of iambic pentameter that ensues might be helpful to any teachers in the listening audience (as well as KVM's brother, Dave). Have a listen as we nerd out on meter. All the sonnet particulars lead Marion to admit what it is that gives her a secret intellectual boner. We end with lots of fodder for your TBR pile. Listen through the end of the episode for everyone's recommended reads, linked below. As always, thanks for listening!

Instagram @johnfreeman5984 Photo credit: Shdia Amen Glacial Erratics I'm walking the rocks of mid-coast Maine and thinking about leaving, haze rolling in off Penobscot Bay nearly enveloping, but I can see my hands, swollen, red, silver ring in folds of skin. It's been five days of lobster, haddock, and overwrought craft beer. Sarah's in a nimbus on a bluff. I can't see her. These tidal patterns strand sponges and shellac seaweed to the stones. The tide's waning now, an hour past its peak. We arrived five days ago in a Tecnam T2012, in a two-prop puddle hopper. You get in the way you get out. I'm scared Cape Air will strand us in this fog. I don't want another day. You get in the way you get out unless you don't. An alabaster boulder rests at the foot of the bluff, a glacial erratic only special because of its geographical and visual context. Glacial errata, I thought I heard our tourist captain say, though Sarah corrected me. A glacial erratic's when the ice deposits stone of another realm to punctuate a scene in a distant future epoch– Sarah perched on a gunwale with a lighthouse at her back, the centenarian Cape Cod schooner they call the Olad meandering Penobscot Bay on a quiet afternoon in summer, and how I loved the way those seals on the Nautilus Island rock appeared to sweat (she said the song for our third decade should be “Me and You on the Rock”), their bellies gold as riesling in the sun. Their kind of torpor rests on the precipice of bathos and delight, their porcine bodies commas, long pauses between dips. At intervals they swim like dogs, like dogs they also growl, yet they dive with a gymnast's grace into the depths. A White Bird A rustic cottage on a kettle lake, shells of zebra mussels on the boat lift, a couple loons, a lone white bird adrift on combers in a pontoon boat's slow wake. Their time is short, they get what they can take. He reads a short story she wrote to sift for common nouns and proper nouns to lift for a poem. He settles on the drake and hen that dove their lithe bodies below and resurfaced a hundred yards away. Such secret lives of love, such dull regret. In the story, she says he cannot know what kind of bird they saw floating that day, as he insists it was the rare egret.
How do you support a young athlete through the middle school years—when bodies are changing fast, emotions run high, and competition starts to feel real? Ages 11-14 are a pivotal phase in athletic development. Growth spurts, social comparison, and rising expectations can either build confidence and resilience—or quietly push kids toward burnout. In this episode of Inside the Wave, Perry Wirth sits down with returning guest Chandler Lewis for Part 3 of their four-part youth development series, focusing on the often tricky middle school years. Chandler is a sports psychologist, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and competitive swim coach who has guided athletes from their first lessons all the way to NCAA-level competition. Together, Perry and Chandler break down how parents and coaches can support developing athletes without rushing specialization or adding unnecessary pressure. You'll learn how to: • Understand the major PIES shifts (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social) during ages 11–14 • Support rapid growth and awkward movement phases without overloading intensity or volume • Build skill, strength, and body awareness before chasing performance outcomes • Encourage ownership, autonomy, and intrinsic motivation in young athletes • Approach competition with process-based goals instead of result-based pressure • Support kids emotionally before, during, and after competitions • Avoid common parenting and coaching habits that unintentionally increase stress Chandler combines real-world coaching experience with mental performance principles to help athletes (and their parents) navigate this stage with clarity, patience, and long-term perspective. Whether you're coaching from the deck, watching from the sidelines, or parenting an athlete who's starting to feel the weight of competition, this episode offers a roadmap for turning the middle school years into a foundation for confidence, resilience, and lifelong enjoyment of sport.

The period from 1550 to 1700 was critical in the development of slavery across the English Atlantic world. During this time, English discourse about slavery revolved around one central question: How could free persons be made into slaves? John Samuel Harpham shows that English authors found answers to this question in a tradition of ideas that stretched back to the ancient world, where they were most powerfully expressed in Roman law. These ideas, in turn, became the basis for the earliest defenses of American slavery. The Roman tradition had located the main source of slavery in war: enslavement was the common fate of captives who otherwise faced execution. In early modern England, this account was incorporated into studies of the common law and influential natural rights theories by the likes of Hugo Grotius and John Locke. When Europeans started to publish firsthand accounts of Africa in the sixteenth century, these reports were thus received into a culture saturated with Roman ideas. Over time, English observers started to assert that the common customs of enslavement among the nations of Africa fit within the Roman model. Englishmen had initially expressed reluctance to take part in the Atlantic slave trade. But once assured that the slave trade could be traced back to customs they understood to be legitimate, they proved keen to profit from it. An eloquent account of the moral logic that propelled the development of an immoral institution, John Samuel Harpham's The Intellectual Origins of American Slavery (Harvard University Press, 2025) reveals the power of an overlooked tradition of ideas in the history of human bondage.

The Intellectual Factions of the "New Right". Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Peter Berkowitz outlines the fracturing of the "New Right" into factions like national conservatives and post-liberals. Referencing Laura K. Field's book, Furious Minds, he notes these groups often reject Lockean principles in the Declaration of Independence. However, he distinguishes these intellectuals from typical, non-ideological Trump voters.1929 HOOVER INAURUAL
Let's just stop for a minute and think about the endless choices we have and how they can overwhelm us. Ever get that feeling like you need to get in shape before you go to the gym? We talk about the rabbit hole of hacks and how it can lead to action paralysis. We talk about how to structure your mind for the right "why." We look at why getting one percent better each day is a great strategy, but why it's so tough to stick with. Training should be about much more than a time goal, it should be driven by what is truly meaningful to you and it's well worth sitting in silence and really figuring out. Topics: Getting fit before going to the gym Can you ever be fit enough? Intellectual experts vs. practitioners What's the hack? Action paralysis Endless podcasts, influencers, newsletters Drink from a garden hose vs. a fire hose We always want more When we feel like it's not enough Trying too hard The weight of the world The integrity of a workout Do we need more? We all need a bit of a buffer Being swept up in the moment One percent better each day but not seeing it Weight loss and patience Inability to set realistic goals What is meaningful to you? You have to have more than a time goal Swinging for the fence all the time Building habits that turn into routine Pick out the right lot and build slowly mike@c26triathlon.com robbie@c26triathlon.com
DescriptionDavid Diener, Assistant Professor of Education at Hillsdale College and president of The Alcuin Fellowship, joins Christopher Perrin to reflect on how a philosopher's training can become a vocational doorway into the renewal of classical education. Drawing from years in K–12 school leadership and now higher education, Diener describes why classical schools often foster unusually rich intellectual community—and why that matters in an age of academic fragmentation. He also introduces Hillsdale's Master of Arts in Classical Education (MACE), a program designed to address one of the movement's biggest bottlenecks: forming well-equipped teachers and administrators. The conversation highlights how enduring philosophical anchors—from Plato and Aristotle to Aquinas—can be translated into concrete classroom practice. Diener then traces the role of The Alcuin Fellowship in deepening the movement's historical and theoretical grounding, including its influence on The Liberal Arts Tradition. Finally, they look outward to the global growth of classical Christian education, including partnerships and training initiatives in Africa, such as the Rafiki Foundation, and expanding work across Latin America. David Diener has a forthcoming monograph in Spanish that will provide chapter-length essays on various aspects of classical Christian education. Additionally, he has an upcoming course on ClassicalU.com will release in the spring of 2026.Episode OutlineFrom philosophy to teaching: Diener's academic formation, early teaching experience abroad, and why education became his focusWhy classical schools attract scholars: the “faculty-of-friends” culture and how it can outpace typical undergraduate settingsHillsdale's MACE program: structure, distinctives, and the need for teacher formation at scaleThe Alcuin Fellowship: purpose, retreats, the “scholar-practitioner” model, and the ecosystem role it playsPublications and intellectual consolidation: how collaborative work helped birth The Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi Jain Global and Latin American growth: partnerships, conferences, and emerging networks across continentsKey Topics & TakeawaysFormation Through Practices: What we repeatedly do shapes what we love.Classical Schools as Intellectual Communities: Classical faculties often cultivate cross-disciplinary conversation and shared learning in ways that counter modern academic siloing.Theory-to-Practice Formation: Strong programs don't leave philosophy abstract—they press big ideas into classroom realities and school leadership decisions.The Teacher-Leader Pipeline is the Bottleneck: Sustainable growth depends on forming more capable teachers and administrators, not merely opening more schools.Why MACE is Built the Way it is: A shared core creates common language and vision; later specialization prepares teachers and leaders for distinct roles.Fellowship as Infrastructure for Renewal: The Alcuin Fellowship functions as a hub for scholar-practitioners who think deeply and serve schools faithfully.From Local Renewal to Global Opportunity: The movement's growth is increasingly international, with meaningful work underway in Africa and expanding initiatives in Latin America.Questions & DiscussionWhat kind of “fragmentation” have you experienced in education (or your own formation)?What practices have helped you move toward integration?Why might a classical school faculty create stronger intellectual friendship than many modern institutions?Compare your current context to a “lunch-table culture” where teachers learn together across disciplines. What would it take to cultivate that kind of shared learning where you are?What is the role of a fellowship (formal or informal) in renewing an educational tradition?Identify one fellowship function you most need: reading, conversation, research, mentoring, or mutual sharpening. What could be your next practical step to build that community?How should the classical renewal relate to other organizations and conferences in the movement?What do you hope conferences and associations provide beyond inspiration (formation, scholarship, standards, support)? How can leaders prevent “event energy” from replacing sustained local practice?What opportunities—and challenges—come with global growth of classical Christian education?Discuss the difference between exporting a model and serving a local culture with deep roots. What do “curriculum accessibility” and “teacher training resources” mean in practical terms?Suggested Reading & ResourcesThe Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi JainThe Liberal Arts Tradition (Audiobook) by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi JainRafiki FoundationThe Rafiki Foundation PodcastAssociation of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS)Society for Classical Learning (SCL)Hillsdale CollegeHillsdale AcademyThe Alcuin FellowshipDr. Christopher Perrin on Substack
Guest: Ronald White. This segment introduces Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain's early life and intellectual formation. In 1848, Chamberlain passed a rigorous entrance exam for Bowdoin College by reciting classical Greek and Romanliterature from memory. Raised in Brewer, Maine, by "hardy congregationalist" parents, he balanced his father's love for physical pursuits like sailing and riding with his mother's religious devotion. Although his father desired a military career for him at West Point, Chamberlain attended Bangor Theological Seminary, mastering nine languages. He also met his future wife, Fanny Adams, a talented organist with a troubled, "shadowed" childhood, while leading a church choir.1861 UNION GENERAL OFFICERS
Welcome to another insightful episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan tackles the critical—yet often underestimated—legal side of agency mergers and acquisitions. Joined by agency law specialist Sharon Toerek, Drew explores all the ways agencies can better prepare for buying or selling a business and avoid the legal pitfalls that can delay deals, drive up costs, or even kill transactions entirely. Sharon Toerek shares from her first-hand experience helping agencies on both the buy and sell side, breaking down the foundational legal elements every agency owner needs—whether or not they plan to sell someday. Together, they dig into everything from the importance of robust client and employee contracts, to protecting intellectual property, to the necessity of having proper corporate governance documents in place. Sharon explains how missing or incomplete contracts can erode agency valuations, scare buyers, and create costly last-minute headaches. The conversation also covers the nuances of deal documentation, the significance of a well-prepared due diligence process, and the real-world "war stories" that illustrate why legal readiness matters so much. Drew McLellan and Sharon Toerek offer listeners practical, actionable steps to start shoring up their agreements, documents, and internal processes now—not just in anticipation of a sale, but as fundamental best practices for running a sustainable, valuable agency. Don't miss this episode if you want to eliminate unnecessary risks, maximize the value of your agency, and ensure a smoother M&A journey whenever the time comes. By the end, you'll have a to-do list that can strengthen your agency's foundation today and set you up for a more profitable, stress-free exit tomorrow.

Enjoy the episode? Send us a text!Is there a timeline for saving a marriage?If you are asking "How long will it take to save my marriage?" the honest answer is that there is no magic formula or set number of days. It relies entirely on consistency over time. In this video, Dr. Joe Beam explains that saving a relationship is not an immediate event. It is a process of changing the negative narrative your spouse has about you by consistently doing the right things, even when it feels like it is not working.In this episode:Dr. Joe Beam breaks down the typical pattern of marriage dissolution and shares the hard truth about separation. Did you know that once a physical separation occurs, the likelihood of divorce rises to between 75% and 80%?Dr. Beam explains why this happens using a concept called Negative Affect. This is when your spouse interprets everything you do through a negative filter. Even when you try to change or work on your PIES (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual attraction), your spouse might attack you or criticize you.Why do they do this? Because your positive changes are messing up the negative narrative they have created to justify leaving.You will learn:The typical "devolving" pattern of a marriage heading toward divorce.Why you should avoid or delay separation if at all possible.Negative Affect: Why your spouse sees you as the "bad guy" regardless of what you do.Why your spouse might get angry when you start working on yourself.The vital importance of consistency over time to change their mind.It is unfair that you have to do the heavy lifting right now. However, if you are the one standing for the marriage, you are the one who has to change the dynamic. It is not easy, but we have witnessed "hopeless" couples turn it around even after years of struggle.If you're struggling in your marriage, don't wait.

The First Amendment guarantees both freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and both are under attack. These protections apply universally, ensuring that anyone can express themselves without prior restraint, though certain limitations exist through laws addressing harm or falsehoods.Professional journalists adhere to a clear ethical code: never knowingly publish false information. This principle is at the core of responsible journalism and shapes the profession's commitment to truth. Intellectual honesty and a commitment to factual reporting are key.We talk with Marty Schladen, a reporter for the Ohio Capital Journal, about the challenges the press faces.With the reduction of local news outlets and mainstream newspapers, a void has emerged, filled by individuals who lack professional training and oversight. This “fog machine” of misinformation makes it challenging for the public to distinguish reliable news from opinion or falsehoods.In today's media landscape, anyone can reach a large audience, making it difficult to discern professional journalists from amateurs. The lack of a regulatory body means that the honor system and personal credibility are vital for maintaining standards in reporting. Journalists must rely on their reputation and adherence to ethical guidelines to build trust with the public.The Trump administration seeks to suppress or delegitimize the press, such as restricting access and publicly shaming specific journalists and outlets. Personal attacks and refusal to answer questions have created barriers to information, both at the national and state levels.Reporters regularly face personal attacks and efforts to undermine their credibility. Despite these challenges, maintaining professionalism and composure is key, so that journalists can keep politicians and businesses accountable.Efforts to restrict journalists' access to government information, such as requiring loyalty pledges or excluding major news organizations, are particularly concerning. These actions undermine the press's role as a public watchdog and threaten the decentralized power structure that is fundamental to American democracy.
Our podcast daddy Michael C. Moynihan is back from the dead for a long (and long awaited) discussion on conspiracy theories, antisemitism, dumb people, and why you shouldn't end every conversation with a Jew with: BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEDOPHILES??Anyway, it's not too late to update your 2026 resolutions, and our guest's advice is to maybe this year, dislike yourself a little bit more. Not in a self-harm way of course, but a bit of self-hatred never hurt any writer, let's put it that way.Also:* The Talmud is very oxen heavy* Maybe the Somali daycare thing isn't that bad, or maybe we are just afraid they'll come after Yeshiva's next.* Christopher Hitchins didn't hate religious people.Oh great, we made it 23 mins before talking about Mandy Patinkin* An argument about sexual assault.* Would you go back in time and punch Mandy Patinkin?* Holcoaust books for everyone.* Why should Moynihan's Goyishe daughter care about antisemitism?* Antisemitism explains dumb people.* Why does Europe suck?* The Intellectual broken windows theory.* But what about the peaophiles???* Knowledge is something ((they)) aren't telling you.* The book I refered to is Kindly Inquisitors by the dear Jonathan Rauch, buy it immediately and also listen to our episode with him.* Wait, Zionists killed Kennedy now?* Antisemitism is just math.* People should really learn to to hate themselves more.All of the love to The Fifth Column community!! We love you, Michael loves you, we all love each other. None of us would be doing this without you.

PREVIEW PLATO'S FIRST VISIT AND POLITICAL EXPERIMENTS Colleague Professor James Romm. This segment examines Plato's invitation to Syracuse by Dion, who sought an intellectual ally against the court's riotous lifestyle. Viewing the city as a "laboratory for political innovation," Plato investigated the autocratic experiments of Dionysius the Elder, an experience that served as the backstory for The Republic. 1869 PLATO ACADEMY
THE LINEAGE OF VIOLENCE: FROM BABEUF TO THE PARIS COMMUNE Colleague Professor Sean McMeekin. This segment explores the intellectual roots of communist violence, starting with the French agitator Gracchus Babeuf. Inspired by radical Enlightenment thinking, Babeuf advocated for the abolition of private property and explicitly called for "cleansing political violence" to destroy class enemies. McMeekin explains that while Karl Marx did not organize the 1871 Paris Commune, he fully embraced its "orgy of violence"—including the execution of hostages—as proof of the revolution's sincerity. Marx argued that true revolution required the destruction of the old society, establishing a dangerous precedent where terror was not an unfortunate accident but a central, necessary feature of the movement. This legacy confirmed that the communist project requires the ruthless elimination of opposition to survive. NUMBER 2

Rebranding a company is rarely neat, and James Clark makes that clear in this conversation. He talks through the pressure of changing a long established name, the internal tension that came with it and the need to build something that reflects future ambition rather than past comfort. His breakdown of stakeholder alignment, intellectual coherence and disciplined decision making gives founders a practical view of how to manage identity change at scale. It is a calm and honest look at the work behind a brand that now represents a fast growing venture capital firm with global reach.Guest note:James Clark is the Marketing Director at Molten Ventures, known for leading one of the most complex rebrands in European venture capital.Key TakeawaysA rebrand must reflect where the organisation is going, not where it has been.Stakeholder alignment matters more than visual design.Intellectual coherence gives a brand long term strength.Risk is part of the process but it must be managed with structure and clarity.

I continue to research human communication and find the vast majority of everything we communicate is subjective. We are seldom discussing facts and right, wrong, black, white issues. They may feel so to us, but if pressed we'd need to admit that what we are arguing or advocating for is not fact. The topic or issue is not unanimously proven. But it's efficient to just cite our perspective as truth. It takes time and effort to really understand and consider all sides. So I sat down with an expert on this concept. Wendy K. Smith has a PhD in organizational behavior from Harvard and is the Dana J. Johnson Professor of Management and faculty director of the Women's Leadership Initiative at University of Delaware. She is an expert on organizational paradoxes, exploring how leaders and individuals effectively respond to contradictory, yet interdependent demands. She spends her time continually working to better manage the paradoxes of life that we all face.

Joe reviews a reflection by Pope Benedict XVI on “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” on how wisdom and knowledge help us encounter Jesus Christ. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery.

The Intellectual Commander and the B-29 — James M. Scott — Scott introduces Brigadier General Haywood Hansell, an air force pioneer and military intellectual who arrives in the Pacific theater in November 1944 as a committed advocate of "high altitude daylight strategic bombing," a military doctrine positing that modern industrial economies resemble "houses of cards" susceptible to catastrophic collapse through destruction of critical infrastructure including petroleum refineries and aircraft manufacturing facilities. Scott documents that Hansell confronts immense institutional pressure from General "Hap" Arnold, the commander of the U.S. Army Air Forces, who suffers recurring heart attacks generated by organizational stress and interservice competition with the Navy and Army for budgetary resources and institutional prestige. Scott emphasizes that Arnold views the Pacific theater as a "blank canvas" to demonstrate the independent military power and strategic utility of the Air Force using the expensive, technologically advanced B-29strategic bomber, recently developed at enormous financial cost. 1925 TOKYO
PREVIEW — Peter Berkowitz — Classical Liberal Arts Education and Roman Republic Heroes. Berkowitz argues that modern liberal arts education has systematically severed its intellectual connection to Roman Republic heroic figures including Cato and Cicero, classical exemplars of republican virtue and liberty who profoundly inspired the AmericanFounding Fathers and shaped their constitutional vision. Berkowitz laments that few contemporary university students or faculty members possess the requisite cultural heritage, classical education, or imaginative capacity formed by engagement with these ancient standards of philosophical liberty, political virtue, and republican governance, thereby depriving new generations of the intellectual and moral foundations that undergirded American constitutional democracy and republican principles. 1789 NEW YORK
