In this episode, Brig breaks down why protecting your confidence is not optional. It is the foundation for chasing your impossible. Using Michelle Kwan's response after winning Olympic silver as the central story, Brig shows how quickly someone else can try to define your win as a loss. Kwan's response, “I didn't lose the gold. I won the silver,” becomes the anchor for this episode and a reminder that you get to decide what story you let live in your mind. Brig explains that confidence is not just mindset, discipline, or consistency. It is something you have to protect on purpose. She names the everyday threats that can quietly chip away at confidence, including self-criticism, comparison, reframing your wins as not enough, and allowing small negative thoughts to build over time. What You Will Learn How to recognize when someone is trying to reframe your win as something less Why you need to name the win before you name the gap How comparison drains your confidence when you turn it into evidence against yourself Why self-compassion is a strategy, not an excuse How to create a Daily Win file and build evidence of your own capability Why This Matters Brig reminds listeners that confidence is an instrument. It needs maintenance, protection, and care. For Black women, confidence can carry even more weight because shrinking was often taught as a form of safety. This episode challenges that pattern and offers a new way to relate to your wins, your growth, and your impossible goals. Take Action Start a Daily Win file and write down at least one win every day. Practice the Kwan rewrite when something does not go the way you hoped. Instead of using the result against yourself, tell the truth about what happened and what you learned. When self-criticism shows up, pause and remind yourself: This is hard. Other women feel this too. I can be kind to myself while I figure this out.

How many times have you talked yourself out of pursuing an opportunity, telling yourself it wasn't for you, that you weren't ready, or you weren't qualified? What if that hesitation wasn't self-awareness but a script you internalized?Many women have a complicated relationship with their ambitions for greater leadership and greater wealth. And it isn't because women are somehow inherently less suited for leadership or financial independence. The systems of power, patriarchy, sexism, and misogyny that we live in every day shape the voice in women's heads that tells them they're not meant to be a leader.We are in a political and cultural moment where women's rights and autonomy are facing incredible pushback at all levels. It's vital that we examine our internalized biases towards ourselves and others, where we limit our ambitions for roles we have the skills and abilities for, and where we're giving up our power because of the stories we've been told by our society.My guest today is a beautiful example of a woman who hadn't considered herself for a CEO role, but who stepped into the position and has grown into the kind of leader we just might need most right now. In our conversation, we talk a lot about women and finances and also about what we believe about our abilities and the opportunities we deserve to pursue.Sylvia Kwan is a Chartered Financial Analyst with more than 30 years of industry experience. Prior to Ellevest, she founded SimplySmart Asset Management and held senior portfolio management positions at Financial Engines and Charles Schwab. Sylvia serves on the Board of Exit 182, the investment committee that oversees the endowment of Grinnell College. Listen to the full episode to hear: How Sylvia's commitment to Ellevest's mission bolstered her through the abrupt and sometimes isolating shift into being CEOHow she navigated the tension between wanting to be transparent with her team and needing to project calmThe scripts about who she is and the work she excels at that Sylvia had to rewrite, and why it's a continuing processHow the financial industry subconsciously reinforces sexist ideas about women and moneyWhy taking the stigma out of women talking about money is a key piece of closing the gender wealth gapHow women accruing wealth actually supports communities and creates more equityHow convoluted jargon and perfectionism keep women from getting started with investingLearn more about Sylvia Kwan, PhD, CFA, CAIA: EllevestInstagram: @ellevestConnect on LinkedInLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources: EP 88: Right-Use-of-Power: Navigating Leadership Dynamics with Dr. Cedar BarstowRight Use of Power: The Heart of Ethics: A Guide and Resource for Professional Relationships, Dr. Cedar BarstowThe Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love, bell hooksDown Girl: The Logic of Misogyny, Kate Manne Women leaders make work better.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into the Guardians' offensive struggles after a 10-hit loss, debating whether Steven Kwan or David Fry deserves more of the blame. They credit Kwan for elite defense and a willingness to draw walks despite a brutal bat speed decline, while questioning why Fry still has a roster spot over younger options like Cooper Ingle. The pair also revisit their past stance that the Guardians should have paid Kwan big money, conceding that Owen and Zack Meisel were right to push back. They close by wondering if the lineup can hold up in another playoff push once Jose Ramirez and Angel Martinez return from injury.

Get ready for an emotional battering as Andy, Ash, Ed, and Stu dive head‑first into their Top 5 Moments That Broke Us — the scenes that shattered composure, cracked open chests, and left the lads staring into the middle distance wondering why cinema hurts this much. From gut‑punch revelations to quiet devastation, these are the moments that linger long after the credits roll.To soothe the collective trauma, the Short Short Film Film Review heads to Pixar territory with Small Fry, the Toy Story micro‑short that swaps existential collapse for fast‑food chaos, support‑group satire, and one very disgruntled Buzz Lightyear.Then the Cruise Cruise shifts back into full Hollywood charm offensive as the gang revisit Jerry Maguire. Contracts, conscience, Kwan, and one of the most quotable rom‑com‑sports‑drama hybrids ever made — will the lads still feel the magic, or does Jerry's mission statement fall flat in 2024?With the usual blend of silliness, seriousness, and a crucial Scientology Watch update, it's time once again to take Cruise Control.
Lima runs through a packed sports weekend starting with Wyndham Clark's US Open victory at Shinnecock, where the crowd was openly rooting against him after last year's locker room incident, with Scottie Scheffler actually drawing a bigger ovation walking up 18 than the champion did. Lima is fired up about the US men's national team rolling through World Cup group play and the bracket setting up for a potential deep run, while Ken remains unmoved and would need considerably more than two group stage wins to get off the couch. The guys also flag a brutal development for the Guardians, as Steven Kwan has somehow fallen to the lowest OPS among all qualified hitters in baseball, sitting 38 percent below league average. Ken floats the theory that contract uncertainty may be messing with Kwan's head at the plate, noting that sometimes the deals you don't make end up telling the whole story.

With Stephen Kwan batting just .220 and his trade value at an all-time low, Ken makes the case that dealing him at the deadline makes no sense right now and that keeping a veteran who can still contribute defensively is more valuable than whatever return Cleveland would get. The guys also check in on Joey Cantillo, who has given up 15 earned runs in his last three starts, though Ken insists one rough stretch isn't reason to panic on a pitching staff this organization has always been patient with. The bigger storyline might actually be Bryan Bazzana, who is quietly forcing his way into All-Star conversation and giving the Guardians a legitimate top-of-the-order presence they didn't have before.

With Taiwan Travelogue winning the 2026 International Booker Prize, Taiwanese literature in translation has achieved new heights of visibility in the Anglosphere. In this episode of the New Books Network, we chat with writer and translator Kevin Wang about his English language rendition of Spent Bullets (HarperCollins, 2025), another Taiwanese novel that Taiwan Travelogue's translator Lin King herself recommended to English-language readers. Written by a former Google engineer using the pen name Terao Tetsuya, Spent Bullets contains nine interconnected stories about a group of Taiwanese men as they journey through Taiwan's most prestigious schools to Silicon Valley's hottest tech companies. Despite being the “elite”, these characters find themselves mired in a swamp of nihilism, resorting to suicide attempts and sadomasochism as outlets for their constantly oppressed psyches. The novel represents a darkly humorous take on Taiwan's omnipresent achievement culture, as well as another critically celebrated example of the island's burgeoning body of queer literature. Other works that Kevin mentions in the podcast: Kink: Stories — by R.O. Kwan and Garth Greenwell Overfitting — by Terao Tetsuya, still pending translation Mobu's Diary —by Kathy Lam, translated by Kevin Wang and Cindy Ko Kevin's recent interview by Michelle Kuo and Albert Wu, in which he discusses communities in Taipei in greater detail Anthony Kao is a writer who intersects international affairs and cultural criticism.

Shan Ng follows acclaimed Hong Kong and Taiwan cinematographer Kwan Pun Leung as he creates a new music video, Fragile Love. Known for his work on landmark films including In the Mood for Love and 2046, Kwan has built a reputation for crafting deeply poetic and emotionally resonant images. Across a career spanning decades, Kwan has developed a distinctive creative philosophy that places intuition and responsiveness at the centre of cinematography. Rather than focusing solely on the technical, he views film-making as a collaborative process with actors, directors and the natural environment. Light, movement and atmosphere are not simply tools but his partners in shaping meaning. For him, cinematography is not simply about capturing reality, but allowing unexpected moments to shape the emotional language of the frame.

Josh Kwan is the CEO of The Gathering and co-founder of Praxis, but his path into generosity began long before those titles. Raised by immigrant parents and formed by a faithful local church, Josh carried a deep love for Jesus into a career in journalism. God later redirected him through an unexpected opportunity to help lead philanthropy for entrepreneur David Weekley, where he learned firsthand how wise stewardship, rigorous thinking, and humble dependence on God can work together. That season shaped his conviction that generosity is not a side activity for Christians, but a calling that requires formation in community. Through Praxis, Josh helped cultivate entrepreneurs whose ventures serve as vehicles for Kingdom impact, grounding ambition in a rule of life that guards the heart from money and power. At The Gathering, he now walks alongside families stewarding significant wealth, helping them embrace risk, think with an eternal horizon, and pursue collaboration over control. This conversation offers a thoughtful vision for generosity shaped by humility, surrender, and deep relationships, and invites you to consider how community might transform your own stewardship journey. Major Topics Include: Formation through intentional community Integrating faith and vocation Investing in leaders, not just ideas Shaping entrepreneurs with a rule of life Risk and eternity in Christian philanthropy Humility in partnership with practitioners Money as amplifier of identity Generosity as shared, relational practice Balancing strategy with Spirit-led obedience QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I never thought I'd become a ‘professional Christian.'” “If you believe in the leader, you can fund that leader because they are going to do some good things in part because that leader has a pursuit of the Kingdom.” “We were able to talk about and put into place the spiritual formation and practices and rhythms at the beginning, so that you're not thinking about it by the time you're exiting and you have a lot more zeros behind your name.” “The rule of life is meant to be done together in relationship, with transparency and accountability and vulnerability.” “I think God's bigger than the way that He's made me and put me in this vessel, and I can appreciate someone else's way of thinking.” “One of the remarkable things about Christian generosity is that we have this eternal time horizon.” “Effectiveness can itself become an idol.” “We sin just like you sin. We put on our pants just like you put on your pants. We need Jesus just like you need Jesus.” “How do we take this responsibility, maybe even a burden, and find incredible joy and meaning in joining God's work in the world?” LINKS FROM THE SHOW The Gathering Praxis David Weekly Foundation (aka Dovetail Impact Foundation) When Helping Hurts (see our interview with coauthor Brian Fikkert) Gospel Patrons (see our interview with founder John Rinehart) BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Matthew 28:19–20 | The Great Commission “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity. Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step.

Neil Patrick Harris would like to make art that is “apolitical.” Sydney Sweeney “is not a political person.” Jelly Roll is a “dumb redneck” who we shouldn't want to hear from, but we will be hearing his thoughts on global events “soon.” Ethan Hawke says we shouldn't seek moral guidance from “a bunch of jet-lagged, drunk artists,” and perhaps he's right. But at a time when celebrities who were once known for their political outspokenness have gotten strangely coy (Taylor Swift and Beyoncé come to mind), one naturally begins to wonder if something is amiss. And when LeBron James, who cites civil rights hero Muhammad Ali as an inspiration, says he's heard “only great things” about Israel — now we're just being, well, played.

ICE is many things — chief among them, an outgrowth of a seemingly neverending masculinity crisis. The U.S. government has devised a billion dollar strategy to recruit aggrieved young men into ICE with the promise of giving them a purpose: to “restore the homeland.” And their masculinity. The results have been devastating. A parallel crisis of manhood is unfolding in the form of looksmaxxers, a booming online community of men injecting meth and breaking their bones to enhance their perceived physical beauty. Today, YouTube essay legend F.D Signifier, Twitch culture streamer Caroline Kwan and I explore the evermore bizarre ways patriarchy is setting men up to fail while everyone else pays the price.

This week we're digging back into the archives to revisit a case that's haunted us since we first covered it in November 2024. The case takes us to Newcastle as we examine a crime so chilling, it could have been ripped straight from the pages of an Agatha Christie novel. It features everything you would expect from our favourite purveyor of literary intrigue – a family dispute over a will, an unsuspecting, unassuming would-be assassin, and a plan so audacious, that the culprit might easily have escaped justice had it not been for some dogged detective work.
