What does it take to resurrect a pre-Prohibition whiskey brand while building one of America's most celebrated cocktail bars? Join us for a deep dive into the business of hospitality with Ryan Maybee, the Kansas City entrepreneur behind the legendary speakeasy Manifesto and the historic revival of J. Rieger & Co. Ryan pulls back the curtain on the operational realities of navigating federal regulators, raising capital for a distillery, and the five-year grind to bring a 100-year-old brand back from the dead. He shares hard-won lessons on partnership structures, the discipline of knowing your numbers, and why creating an entirely new whiskey category required as much business savvy as creative instinct. From surviving the pandemic to building a sprawling distillery campus with a 40-foot slide, Ryan offers an unvarnished look at the entrepreneurial roller coaster. Tune in for a masterclass in calculated risk, brand building, and the long game of leaving a lasting mark on an industry. This episode produced in association with J. Rieger & Co.   ____________________________________ Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers & authors.

The Christian life is nothing other than a daily Baptism. Baptism does not just happen to us; by it, the Lord transforms us by death and resurrection (Romans 6:3-4). We walk in our Baptism each day by living in repentance and the gracious forgiveness found in Christ. The Lord enables our faith to flourish as we mortify the flesh (Romans 8:13), turning to Him and trusting that His forgiveness in Christ is ours. “God's own child I gladly say it, I am baptized into Christ.” (LSB 594, st. 1) Rev. Daniel Lewis, Assistant Professor of Theology, Concordia University, Seward, NE, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to conclude our study of Baptism as confessed in the Large Catechism. Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org.

AI-assisted coding tools have made it easier than ever to spin up prototypes, but turning those prototypes into reliable, production-grade systems remains a major challenge. Large language models are non-deterministic, prone to drift, and often lose track of intent over long development sessions. Kiro is an AI-powered IDE that's built around a spec-driven development workflow. The post Amazon's IDE for Spec-Driven Development with David Yanacek appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Brian Menace from the UK reveals how his team pioneered knife detection dogs—a capability that sounds impossible but is backed by solid science. Working with Dr. Tatum and researchers, they discovered that edged weapons create a unique chemical signature when in contact with human skin, distinctly different from keys, coins, or other metal objects.The training evolved from "Wild West" experimentation to scientific methodology: dogs are imprinted on the specific chemical reaction between humans and sharpened metal, then taught to discriminate against non-target items through massive exposure to various metals. Like AI, more data inputs create better pattern recognition—dogs learn to find razor blades, tactical knives, and kitchen knives while ignoring silverware and tools.Key Topics:The chemical science behind knife detectionWhy knives smell different than spoons or keysTraining methodology: imprinting and discriminationOperational deployment at UK events and schoolsAddressing false positives (screwdrivers, hammers)Why scientific validation matters for credibilityEducating decision-makers on new capabilitiesCollaboration with Texas Tech researchCritical for event security, venue operators, and anyone facing knife crime threats. Brian emphasizes this isn't science fiction—it's validated science requiring patient education and demonstration.Brian Menace Background: UK-based detection dog trainer, pioneer in knife detection discipline, works with scientific researchers including Dr. Tatum and Texas Tech to validate and refine methodology.https://knifedetectiondogs.co.uk/________________________________________

When Emily Brontë published “Wuthering Heights,” in 1847, critics were baffled, alarmed, and mostly unimpressed. James Lorimer, writing in the North British Review, promised that the novel would “never be generally read.” Nearly two centuries later, it's regarded as one of the great works of English literature. In a live taping of Critics at Large at the 92nd Street Y, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the staying power of the original text and the countless adaptations it's inspired, from the 1939 film featuring Laurence Olivier to Andrea Arnold's 2011 version. The most recent attempt comes from the director Emerald Fennell, whose new “Wuthering Heights,” starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, reads as a romantic fever dream. The movie has been polarizing in part for the way it excises some of the weirder and wilder aspects of its source material. But what's discarded—or emphasized—can also be revealing. “It's an audacious proposition to adapt a great novel … I don't think it needs to be faithful, necessarily,” Fry says. “The adaptation itself becomes a portrait of the time in which it's made.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Wuthering Heights,” by Emily BrontëKate Bush's “Wuthering Heights”Emerald Fennell's “Wuthering Heights” (2026)“Emerald Fennell's ‘Wuthering Heights' Never Plumbs the Depths,” by Justin Chang (The New Yorker)“Barbie” (2023)“Saltburn” (2023)“Promising Young Woman” (2020)“Jane Eyre,” by Charlotte Brontë“The Communist Manifesto,” by Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx (1848)Peter Kosminsky's “Wuthering Heights” (1992)William Wyler's “Wuthering Heights” (1939)Andrea Arnold's “Wuthering Heights” (2011)“All the King's Men,” by Robert Penn Warren“I Love L.A.” (2025–)New episodes drop every Thursday.

Science of Spirituality PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST1. Why We Choke Under PressureChoking occurs when extreme stakes overload the brain's motor system. Research shows:* Large “jackpot” rewards (e.g., Olympic gold) can push neural activity past the optimal preparation zone.* Explicit monitoring (thinking step-by-step about an automated skill) disrupts fluid performance.* Moderate pressure improves performance, but excessive pressure impairs it.* Choking is often linked more to inadequate preparation than lack of talent.2. Three Science-Based Ways to Reduce Choking* Train under pressure (e.g., videotaped practice) to desensitize anxiety.* Shift attention outward if you're an expert (focus on rhythm, target, counting backward) to let automatic systems run.* Novices should instead focus on one simple cue, not the entire process.* Reframe the stakes — focus on process over outcome to prevent mental overload.3. Olympic Gold Medal Lessons: Team Chemistry & Inner WisdomTwo Olympic examples illustrate vitality principles:* U.S. Hockey Team: Built intentionally for chemistry and grit (“F-150 pickup trucks,” not Ferraris). Cohesion > raw star power.* Alysa Liu (Figure Skating): Won gold after burnout by reclaiming autonomy, joy, and intrinsic motivation. She ignored medal pressure and focused on artistry.Lesson:* Teams win through cohesion and resilience.* Individuals win when they align performance with authentic purpose and joy.4. The Vitality Zones & the 60-Day Vital SprintDr. Mishra introduces four zones:* Vitality Zone (energized, purposeful)* Surviving Zone (functional but unfulfilled)* Sliding Zone (declining habits)* Burnout Zone (exhausted, depleted)The 60-day sprint focuses on improving:* Physical vitality (exercise, sleep regularity, proprioception, inflammation control)* Mental vitality (focus training, limiting mind wandering)* Social vitality (cultivating closeness)* Spiritual vitality (serving something larger than oneself)5. Core Vitality Levers Backed by DataKey evidence-based takeaways:* 15–20 minutes of daily exercise reduces mortality and inflammation.* Sleep regularity may matter more than duration.* hsCRP (inflammation marker) may predict heart disease better than cholesterol.* Two to three cups of caffeinated coffee or tea daily are linked to lower dementia risk.* A wandering mind reduces happiness; focused attention increases well-being.* Purpose and closeness are modifiable assets strongly tied to longevity.* Spirituality (belief in something larger than self) supports mental health.Elite execution requires preparation, calibrated pressure, authentic motivation, and alignment across physical, mental, social, and spiritual domains.Dare to Be Vital.

This Day in Legal History: Grand Teton National ParkOn February 26, 1929, Congress officially established Grand Teton National Park, preserving one of the most striking mountain landscapes in the American West. While today the park is known for its natural beauty and wildlife, its creation was rooted in significant legal and political conflict. The legislation reflected a growing national commitment to conservation during the early twentieth century. At the same time, it sparked fierce opposition from local ranchers and residents who feared federal control over land they had long used for grazing and settlement. Many critics argued that expanding federal ownership infringed upon traditional property rights and state authority.The controversy centered on Congress's constitutional power to regulate and manage federal lands under the Property Clause. Supporters of the park maintained that the federal government had clear authority to preserve land for public use and environmental protection. Opponents viewed the move as an overreach that disrupted local economies and private land expectations. The debate highlighted tensions between national conservation goals and regional economic interests. It also illustrated how public land policy can serve as a testing ground for broader constitutional principles.Ultimately, the establishment of the park signaled an expanding federal role in environmental stewardship. It marked a shift toward long-term preservation over short-term private development. The legal battles surrounding the park foreshadowed future disputes over land use, resource management, and federal regulatory power. February 26, 1929, thus stands as a reminder that conservation law has often advanced through conflict as much as consensus.The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against the University of California system, alleging that Jewish and Israeli employees at UCLA were subjected to an antisemitic hostile work environment. The complaint, brought by the Justice Department in Los Angeles, claims UCLA failed to respond adequately to discrimination complaints following the October 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. Federal officials argue that the university ignored or even enabled antisemitic conduct during a period marked by intense campus protests over the war in Gaza. The lawsuit seeks a court order requiring UCLA to investigate the allegations, improve anti-discrimination training, and pay unspecified damages to two professors who say they experienced antisemitism.This legal action is part of a broader effort by President Trump to challenge universities over pro-Palestinian protests, diversity programs, and other policies. The administration previously attempted to freeze significant federal funding for UCLA, though a judge ordered that funding restored. UCLA has responded by pointing to institutional reforms, including restructuring its civil rights office and launching initiatives aimed at combating antisemitism. Large demonstrations took place on campus in 2024, with protesters calling for divestment from companies linked to Israel and an end to U.S. support for the war in Gaza. Some demonstrators, including Jewish groups, have argued that criticism of Israeli policy is being wrongly labeled as antisemitism.The University of California system receives more than $17 billion annually in federal funding, heightening the stakes of the dispute. The administration has reached financial settlements in similar investigations involving other universities, prompting concerns among academic experts about the impact on academic freedom. Notably, the administration has not pursued comparable investigations into allegations of Islamophobia or anti-Palestinian discrimination.Trump administration alleges antisemitic work environment at UCLA | ReutersAttorneys general from 11 Republican-led states have asked the U.S. Department of Justice to closely examine Netflix's proposed $82.7 billion acquisition of studio and streaming assets from Warner Bros. The state officials argue that the deal could harm competition and weaken the United States' leadership in the film industry. In a letter to federal regulators, they urged careful scrutiny of how the merger might affect streaming subscribers and the theatrical movie market.Warner Bros. has accepted Netflix's offer, but its board is also weighing a competing proposal from Paramount Skydance, which has suggested that Netflix's bid may face greater antitrust challenges. The state attorneys general contend that combining the companies' assets could lead to excessive market concentration. They warn that reduced competition might result in higher prices, diminished service quality, and fewer innovative offerings for consumers.The officials emphasize that the entertainment industry is a significant part of the American economy and cultural influence, making regulatory oversight especially important. Their request signals potential legal and political resistance to the transaction as federal antitrust authorities evaluate the proposed merger.11 US States urge DOJ to thoroughly probe Netflix-Warner Bros. deal | ReutersSpain's competition regulator has determined that Apple and Amazon failed to promptly remove anti-competitive clauses from their distribution agreements, despite being ordered to do so. The watchdog, known as the CNMC, had fined the companies 194 million euros in 2023 and instructed them to immediately eliminate contract terms that limited the number of Apple resellers on Amazon's Spanish platform. Regulators said those provisions unfairly restricted competition and affected how rival products were promoted on the site.According to the CNMC, the companies did not fully comply with the cease-and-desist order until May 2025, well after the directive was issued. This delay could expose them to additional penalties. The regulator had also alleged that the agreements reduced advertising space for competing brands and blocked marketing efforts targeting Apple customers with alternative products.Both companies dispute the findings. Apple stated that it respects the regulator but disagrees with the ruling and maintains it has followed official instructions, emphasizing efforts to protect customers from counterfeit goods. Amazon likewise rejected the regulator's conclusions and said it plans to appeal, arguing that its business model depends on supporting third-party sellers, many of whom are small and medium-sized businesses.

Public School Failure In Baltimore: Is It Spreading Like Cancer Across America? In an era where news travels instantly across Facebook, Instagram, and every major digital platform, stories about struggling public schools often fade quickly from the national spotlight. Baltimore City Public Schools operates with enormous financial resources. In 2024 alone, the district managed a $1.7 billion budget. Yet despite the funding, only about 10% of students tested proficient in math, a statistic that shocked parents, policymakers, and educators alike. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. But investigative journalist Christopher Papst believes what is happening inside Baltimore's classrooms is not just a local crisis, it may be a warning sign for the rest of the country. The Podcast is available and shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. Papst, widely known for his reporting with Fox45 News Baltimore, spent nearly a decade investigating Baltimore City Public Schools. His findings ultimately became the foundation of his book Failure Factory, a deep dive into what he describes as systemic issues inside one of America's most heavily funded yet lowest-performing school systems. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “This isn't simply about one city,” Papst has said in interviews promoting the book. “It's about a system that has shifted away from educating children and toward protecting bureaucracy.” Public School Failure In Baltimore: Is It Spreading Like Cancer Across America? A System Under Scrutiny Papst's reporting followed the money trail, examining how funding decisions, administrative policies, and accountability measures impacted real classroom outcomes. His investigation uncovered patterns that he claims prioritize appearances over performance. According to Failure Factory, students were sometimes promoted despite failing grades, academic metrics were adjusted to maintain graduation rates, and disciplinary incidents were underreported to make schools appear safer. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. “Failure Factory raises the question,” wrote Barbara Dezmon, Ph.D., of the Maryland State Conference NAACP, “are children failing school or are schools failing children?” The Cost of Investigative Journalism Papst's reporting did not come without consequences. During his investigation, he faced death threats, accusations, and multiple complaints filed against him, challenges he says often accompany attempts to hold powerful institutions accountable. Public School Failure In Baltimore: Is It Spreading Like Cancer Across America? “Educational institutions have evolved into a new bureaucracy,” Dezmon noted. “Chris Papst demonstrates the courage to challenge powerful bureaucracies by holding those at the top accountable.” For Papst, the backlash reinforced the importance of investigative journalism in modern media. As traditional television reporting merges with podcasts, streaming platforms, and digital news consumption through Apple and Spotify, long-form investigations are finding new audiences eager for deeper context beyond headlines. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Data Over Students? One of the central arguments presented in Failure Factory is that public education has undergone a significant philosophical shift. Papst argues that schools increasingly value data metrics and funding stability over individual student success. The book details claims that grades were sometimes changed to passing marks, disciplinary actions reduced on paper, and academic standards adjusted to maintain positive statistics. Critics say such practices create the illusion of progress while leaving students unprepared for college or careers. Public School Failure In Baltimore: Is It Spreading Like Cancer Across America? For many educators, teaching remains a calling rooted in service. However, Papst suggests a growing culture within some districts treats education as an administrative enterprise rather than a student-centered mission. “As enrollment declined, budgets increased,” Papst writes, pointing to rising six-figure administrative salaries even as student performance struggled. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. A National Warning? The most controversial question raised by Papst's work is whether Baltimore represents an isolated failure, or a preview of a national trend. Supporters of his reporting argue the issues are not unique to Maryland. Large school districts across the country face similar pressures: declining enrollment, rising costs, political oversight, and demands for improved performance metrics. “What's happening in Baltimore schools is not unique; it's ubiquitous,” Papst warns in his book. “That new educational mindset is spreading across the country with equally dire consequences.” Public School Failure In Baltimore: Is It Spreading Like Cancer Across America? The idea has sparked debate across social media, where discussions about public education regularly trend on Facebook and Instagram. Parents, teachers, and policymakers continue to argue over whether systemic reform or increased funding is the answer. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where audiences continue to get their content. Beyond the Headlines Papst's work extends beyond a single book. Alongside Failure Factory, he has authored Devolution and Capital Murder, continuing his focus on investigative storytelling. His reporting has also expanded into podcast discussions and long-form media conversations, allowing audiences to explore education issues outside traditional television news formats. Many readers have described Failure Factory as both a warning and a call to action, a free exchange of ideas meant to spark community conversations about accountability in education. The Bigger Question If you don't live in Baltimore and think this doesn't apply to you, you may be right, or it could already be spreading like a cancer to a school system near you. As debates about public education intensify nationwide, Papst's investigation leaves communities with a difficult question: Are failing outcomes the result of underfunded schools, or has the structure of public education itself changed in ways that no longer prioritize students? You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. For parents scrolling through news feeds, listening to podcasts on Spotify, or watching investigative segments on television, the conversation is no longer confined to Baltimore. It is becoming a national dialogue about transparency, accountability, and the future of American education. Public School Failure In Baltimore: Is It Spreading Like Cancer Across America? And as Papst's reporting suggests, the answer may determine whether the next generation inherits opportunity, or a system already in decline.

Before AI, before social media, before the dot-com boom…there was Shawn Tully. Nearly 50 years later, there's still Shawn Tully — Fortune's Senior Editor-at-Large, still cranking out thought-provoking stories about the world's most powerful business leaders. On this episode of Press Profiles, Shawn reflects on five decades of reporting, from covering European business in Paris to flying on Donald Trump's private plane, to spending hours inside CEOs' offices chasing the perfect anecdote. He shares why storytelling matters as much as spreadsheets, how trust is built over decades, and why the best business journalism reads like narrative — not news copy. Along the way, we hear about tennis with Bobby Riggs, inventing the term "HENRYs," and what motivates him to "keep cranking" after all these years.

Many of the graduates whose university costs were funded with Plan 2 student loans are now in their 30s, wondering why they have no money at the end of the month, and why they still owe more student debt than they left uni with. The critical mass of graduates feeling the pinch might just have been reached - and now they're feeling angry and ripped off. On this week’s personal finance edition of Merryn Talks Money, Editor at Large for Bloomberg UK Wealth, Merryn Somerset Webb and author of the Money Distilled newsletter, John Stepek unpick how Plan 2 and the new - perhaps even worse - Plan 5 loans work, how and why graduate marginal tax rates can easily exceed 50% and what tweaks could be made to ease the burden. They also ask the overarching question: is the problem the system? Or is it the fact that the UK seems to be incapable of creating enough high paying jobs?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I unpack how Palantir is turning AI's commoditized cognition into a competitive advantage. Highlights 00:03 — One of the big stories of 2026 has been the ongoing rise of Palantir, a true unicorn at 23 years old, but still a unicorn in the enterprise software business and its incredible growth. In Q4, its revenue is up 70% to $1.4 billion, and it's projecting 61% growth for all of calendar 2026. So this was not an aberration or a flash in the pan. 01:49 — CEO Alexander Karp says, we at Palantir, because of the nature of the work we're doing with our customers, we've gone beyond software in the products we make. It's not just software. He calls them implementation orchestration machines. Does it unlock things? Can we get this up and running quickly and get them driving business outcomes as quickly as possible? 02:35 — The haves in the AI Revolution are going to be the workers who are using these tools, who gain the expertise of what is possible with these tools. Whether that's in a factory, in manufacturing and logistics, or shipping, or software development, or whatever type of industry, certainly the military in the public sector, which is such a big part of Palantir's business. 03:18 — Palantir's job is not to deliver the best product or great products. Palantir's job is to deliver magical outcomes to customers. And Karp said too often, I think the software industry gets focused on great products. That mindset can get you a little bit detached from what it is that the customer wants and needs and expects. 04:30 — Large language models have done a phenomenal job in the commoditization of cognition. That's wonderful. That's a big step forward. The real power, the real advantage, and what Palantir is focused on is this: how do you take that commoditization of cognition and allow customers to leverage that to do things they were never able to do before, to gain the full capabilities of AI.

The Lead with Empower Podcast is back! Join Empower Leadership's Assistant General Manager, Zack Morello, and President, Dan Jaskot, for a variety of topics all focused on empowering and inspiring 1 Million Individuals to become positive leaders in their communities. This "experiential essentials" podcast is created by team building practitioners for individuals and teams hoping to strengthen their culture, empower individuals to become leaders, and foster a greater sense of collaboration between team members. The video discusses the idea of tackling large, overwhelming projects or goals by breaking them down into smaller, manageable tasks—a concept represented by the phrase, "How do you eat an elephant? One freaking bite at a time". The Overwhelming Nature of Challenges ● The speaker notes that groups often figure out how to start a project but fail to plan for the middle and the end. ● When faced with a complex, potentially "unachievable" task, participants often stare blankly, feeling like they cannot do it. ● The speaker emphasizes that the "fallout" happens when groups only focus on the start and then "don't ever figure out what do we do when we get close to the finish line". ● Large projects, like a full day of school, a 9-to-5 workday, or a semester of college, can become a "freaking giant project that's absolutely intimidating" and may even "paralyze people from even trying to start". ● Hesitancy prevents both accomplishment and progress, as fear of the huge task leads people to avoid it or "not do anything at all". The Power of Small Bites (One Step at a Time) ● The video encourages breaking down large goals into smaller, simpler tasks. ● Using the "Pipeline" team-building initiative as an example, Zachary Morello explains that while the bucket may be 100 yards away, success is achieved by focusing on the "inch by inch" movement of the marble through each participant's short tube. ● It is about making the most out of your 15–18 inches of length and passing the control to the next person, doing this enough times to cross the "football field". ● Taking a "small bite" makes a "world of difference" and can create a "cascading effect" of productivity. ● A speaker describes how to get back on track after an exhausting day by starting with "low-hanging fruit," such as answering a few simple emails. ● When creating a complex document, like a services agreement, it helps to start with the easiest parts first, such as the client's name, organization, and phone number. This helps build rhythm and momentum before tackling the more daunting tasks like the itinerary and pricing. Lessons from Others and Final Encouragement ● Will Smith Analogy: The actor Will Smith spoke about how you don't set out to build a whole stone wall; you lay down one stone at a time, doing it "to the best of your ability," and eventually, you'll step back and see what you've built. ● Embracing Failure: It is okay if the "small bites" don't go well initially. The more you try, the better you will get at that thing, and the bites will start adding up. ● The Make Your Bed Book: The book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life and Maybe the World, by Admiral William McCraven, highlights that success is a compilation of all the little things done regularly. Making your bed (or another small, controllable task) can put you in the right mindset and motion to accomplish your goals for the day. ● Celebrate Small Wins: When a small task goes well, "Celebrate that little W. Celebrate that win," because it will build on itself. ● Focus on Your Journey: Do not compare your journey to others, as they will have different challenges; "ignore that. Celebrate your win and then take on the next stone, next bite, next journey, next task". Find out more at https://lead-with-empower-podcast.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Large law firms are going all in on the nationwide data center build out—nevermind that lurking AI bubble. On today's episode of our podcast, On The Merits, we hear from Bloomberg Law reporter Roy Strom about several examples of law firms deploying multidisciplinary practice groups to solve complex problems for data center builders. Roy also talks about why it may not pay for firms to approach the data center boom cautiously. "If this work goes away, the law firms will struggle, there'll be some partners who have a lot of time on their hands," he said, "but the bigger risk to the law firms right now is probably missing out on a sort of once-in-a-generation extravaganza."

Behaving rationally involves facing up to conditions of uncertainty; we never navigate the world with perfect confidence. Sometimes we are uncertain about the way the world is, but we can also be uncertain about our place within the world. This kind of situation arises in cosmology (where the relevant world can extend very far in space or time), and also in quantum mechanics (where new worlds might be created at any measurement), but also when we are simply unsure about the future history of humanity or whether we live in a computer simulation. I talk with philosopher Adam Elga about how to deal with these unique kinds of uncertainties. Upgrade your denim game with Rag & Bone!

Blood vitamin D levels, not supplement dose, determine breast cancer risk, with studies showing roughly a 40% to 50% lower risk once levels rise into protective ranges Women who maintain blood vitamin D levels around 50 to 60 ng/mL experience the greatest protection, while levels below 20 ng/mL consistently link to higher and more aggressive breast cancer risk Large pooled analyses and clinical trials show breast cancer risk drops step by step as vitamin D levels increase, with no evidence of harm at higher physiological levels Sunlight, exercise, and metabolic health strongly influence how much vitamin D actually reaches and protects breast tissue, explaining why intake alone often falls short Addressing low vitamin D by combining sunlight, targeted supplementation, exercise, and metabolic support turns vitamin D into a measurable, trackable strategy for long-term breast cancer prevention

What happens when your dream project becomes your darkest hour? Join us for a raw and unflinching conversation with Trevor Frye, renowned bartender, consultant and entrepreneur who watched his lifelong dream of opening his own bar spiral into a psychological and financial nightmare. Trevor holds nothing back as he recounts the cascade of setbacks—from delays and budget mishaps to partnerships fracturing under pressure—that brought him to the brink of ruin. He opens up about the toll it took on his mental health, the isolation and stress, and the moment he had to confront whether walking away meant losing himself entirely. This episode is a powerful reminder that entrepreneurship is often messy, lonely, and brutal, far from the highlight reels we usually see on social media. But it's also a story of resilience, offering hard-won lessons on survival, humility, and the slow, painful path back from the edge. Tune in for one of the most honest conversations we've ever had about the real price of chasing a dream. This episode produced in association with J.

As OEMs right-size their footprints, throughput is climbing and single-brand stores are on the rise.The U.S. starts 2026 with 18,300 dealerships—just 11 fewer than last year—but total franchise points dropped 1.5% to 29,387.Exclusive, single-brand stores rose 1.2% to 13,351 locations as automakers continue network consolidation strategies.Buick (-20%), Lincoln (-9.9%) and Jaguar (-25%) all shrank networks intentionally, boosting per-store performance in the process.Average franchise throughput across the industry climbed 4.1% to 532 vehicles in 2025, with Toyota leading at 1,736 units per store, up 8%.19 brands improved throughput in 2025 — but 24 saw declines, including 12 brands down more than 10%.

While mainstream electric models lost value and OEMs started discounting hard, Tesla resale prices actually climbed — changing the whole picture.Used Tesla prices rose 4.3% since the credit ended, while other used EVs dropped an average of 3.6%.Because Tesla makes up such a big slice of the market, overall used EV prices actually rose 3.5% — but that's a bit of a mirage.Lower-cost EVs like the Kona Electric, ID.4, Niro EV and Mach-E all lost around 5–6% in just a few months. The Porsche Taycan was the only non-Tesla model to see a price increase, at 4.1%Used EV market share fell 20% in four months, suggesting mainstream buyers aren't rushing in — even with heavy new-EV discounts.Consumers are still spending — just not on the big stuff. Higher interest rates and tight housing turnover pushed shoppers towards smaller upgrades and essential repairs in 2025 — a trend expected to continue through 2026.Spending slowed across income groups late in 2025, especially households under $40K and over $150K.Large discretionary purchases like furniture and mattresses slowed sharply, while décor, kitchen items and maintenance held up.Home improvement spending softened for a third straight year but remains above pre-pandemic levels.Today's show is brought to you by ESi-Q.

When responsibility increases, noise increases. Opinions. Projections. Comparison. Echoes of what you're building. This teaching is about formation under weight and how mature leaders stay anchored when visibility, responsibility, and influence expand. Many people assume burnout is the issue. Often it is not burnout — it is the demand for deeper discernment, clearer boundaries, and stronger internal structure.   This message is for those in a season of increased responsibility who cannot afford to build from comparison, approval-seeking, or reaction. Your work requires structure. Your next level requires formation.   If you are in a preparation season and want to build cleanly with clarity and internal stability, the 4-Week Activation Series begins February 24. This series is focused on moving from clarity into structure and building with maturity. Details and registration: link below.   The live launch gathering on March 21 will be a day of alignment, activation, and commissioning for what is being built in this next season. Event details: link below.   Stay focused on your assignment. Build with integrity. Let formation sustain what visibility cannot.   Share this with someone who is stewarding a calling right now. Leave a comment: What has God asked you to carry in this season?   Train with us in Courage Co. www.courageco.org   Join the Full Capacity Live Journey: https://julianapage.info/fullcapacity   Register for the Full Capacity Book Launch Event: https://julianapage.info/fullcapacitylaunch

We believe that Baptism is for all ages. Since Baptism is commanded for all nations (Matthew 28:19) and gives us the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38-39), we trust in the power of the Word as opposed to ourselves. The Word has power whether a person is 99 years or one day old. The Word does not become inconsistent or incompatible due to our response. We baptize for the sake of following Christ's command and receiving the benefits He gives—no matter the age! Thanks be to God for this inexpressible gift! Rev. Daniel Lewis, Assistant Professor of Theology, Concordia University, Seward, NE, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to continue our study of Baptism as confessed in the Large Catechism. Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org. Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev. Brady Finnern, President of the LCMS Minnesota North District, and guest LCMS pastors. Join us as these Christ-confessing Concordians read through and discuss our Lutheran doctrine in the Book of Concord in order to gain a deeper understanding of our Lutheran faith and practical application for our vocations.

Entrepreneur and EOS implementer Sid Joshnani joins me to unpack what really happens when a business grows fast, becomes dangerously dependent on one client, and nearly collapses under its own fragility.Most business stories skip the middle — the sleepless payroll nights, the rejected credit cards, the clients who stretch payments while you carry 35 salaries on your back. This episode doesn't.Sid shares how his IT services company grew to $3 million in revenue — with one client representing 75% of it — and how that concentration nearly pushed him into bankruptcy. We walk through the tension of chasing late payments from large corporations, the anxiety of holding only $150 in the corporate checking account, and the uncomfortable realization that dependence kills leverage.From there, the conversation turns tactical.Sid explains how discovering EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) helped him move from firefighting to systems thinking. We break down pipeline discipline, activity-based metrics, hiring dedicated sales leadership, understanding unit economics, and why the ability to walk away from a deal only comes when you've architected your business not to need it.We also explore the emotional side: leaving Deloitte for entrepreneurship, briefly returning to consulting to survive, moonlighting to stay afloat, and the psychological weight of carrying other people's livelihoods.This isn't a glamorized founder story.It's a candid conversation about de-risking your business before it de-risks you.The lesson isn't avoiding struggle.It's building a company that can survive it.TL;DR* Client concentration risk can destroy otherwise profitable businesses* Large companies use extended payables as a financing tool — small vendors absorb the pain* The best negotiation position is not needing the deal* Revenue diversification creates leverage* Activity-based metrics matter more than lagging financial indicators* Cash in the bank is stability — not vanity* Unit economics must work before operating systems can scale them* Discipline and consistency outperform bursts of motivation* Entrepreneurship isn't freedom — it's responsibilityMemorable Lines* “The best way to negotiate a deal is to not need it.”* “When one client is 75% of your revenue, you don't own a business — you own a risk.”* “Big companies use small vendors as a finance tool.”* “Discipline and consistency always win.”* “You can't scale chaos — you have to systematize it first.”GuestSid Joshnani — Entrepreneur, EOS implementer, and Founder & CEO of RecrudoFormer MSP owner who rebuilt after near collapse and now helps companies implement EOS while also leading a staffing company connecting founders with offshore talent in the Philippines and Latin America.
