Podcasts about key topics

In this interview, I spoke with The Honorable Juan Zarate. The topic: Money!  Juan was the first-ever assistant secretary of the treasury for terrorist financing and financial crimes. We speak about his work at the Treasury Department in the post-9/11 period. During this time, Juan played a critical role in using the Treasury’s resources to go after terrorist financing. Additionally, the Treasury assisted in tracking down money that Saddam Hussein and his cronies had moved and hid outside of Iraq. Additionally, Treasury’s role became much more expansive beyond the Global War on Terror. In fact, we discuss how the Treasury became a much more formidable influencer of foreign policy against countries like Iran and North Korea. The legacy of these policy shifts continues to this day.  Key Topics include: Juan’s background and his work at the Treasury Department Historical examples of financial leverage being used tactically Treasury’s evolving role after 9/11 Pursuing terrorist financing and making it harder and costlier for terrorist groups to move money around the world How the Treasury Department used its resources to isolate North Korea  How the Treasury Department used a similar tactic against Iran Implications for today and how other countries might employ the same tactics against the United States The impetus for the interview was the book, Treasury’s War, which was published in 2013. The book remains relevant to this day. Juan is currently the global co-managing partner and chief strategy officer of K2 Integrity.  Follow Juan on Twitter: @JCZarate1 Check out the Book: Treasury's War: The Unleashing of a New Era of Financial Warfare Current work: K2 Integrity  Co-Founder and Chairman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ (FDD) Center on Economic and Financial Power (CEFP).

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass. — Maya Angelou In today's episode, I interview Whitnee Nicole, professional clinical therapist, and creator of Innervibe Tribe. She is sharing her tips to help you receive your dreams of being a successful career woman AND having the best relationships in your life at the SAME time. Over the years, women were taught to have one OR the other, and civilization still likes to treat science and spirituality as separate entities. Whitnee explains why it’s helpful to marry the two lifestyles, and the two realms, because everything is connected unto itself. Key Topics of Discussion: Dealing with narcissistic people and those who gaslight you into making you feel like you’re the “crazy” one (you’re not crazy) Marrying the ying-yang of the masculine and feminine energy of the Universe from a scientific perspective AND a spiritual perspective (why is it still being treated as separate from each other) Why Whitnee uses a hybrid model for business branding and why it’s important to do so (I do the same: using our names AND business names for branding) Learning the character traits of being authentic and transparent in both your life and in your career through the “shedding” process Getting through the negative energy of divorce and discovering your NEW Carrie Bradshaw mentality about life (being “single” is the new “20’s” ladies!) Dating again with your new outlook about self-love and self-esteem and the importance of setting positive boundaries Understanding and embracing that we are life-long students in the process of releasing resistance Synchronicities of astrology signs who cross our paths to help us heal and evolve in our lives Why you DON’T want to manifest a specific person into your love relationships (this can even apply to work relationships and friendships, too) For more information, please go to: Whitnee Nicole Instagram: @innervibetribe    Want to manifest faster?

One of the biggest gifts you can give to yourself is cutting out self-criticism and practicing deep, profound self compassion. There is nothing that hurts my heart more than watching an incredible woman like yourself treat herself like sh*t.  Self-compassion is essential in becoming your higher self, trusting yourself, and actively loving yourself. Today we talk about what self compassion is, why it’s essential, the core disempowering belief that blocks you from accessing it, and 3 core elements of practicing self-compassion.   Key Topics:   What would be different in your life if you unconditionally accepted yourself Where your self-criticism comes from The patriarchy’s shame based environment The #1 thing you can do to ensure your children feel great about themselves Start to become aware of what you say to yourself Got a question about the episode?
