In today's Workday Playdate Snack, we're tackling the hybrid work headache—and no, we're not talking about the flickering office lights or the ancient coffee machine no one remembers how to clean. We're talking about the emotional fog that creeps in when your team is half-on-Zoom, half-in-person, and 100% disconnected. The Problem: You've asked your team to return to the office a few days a week. Some show up with smiles. Others show up with...resentment. And some just show up for the snacks. Hybrid work isn't just a scheduling issue—it's a culture shift. And if you're the one coordinating who's in, who's out, and whether “Taco Tuesday” counts as strategy… we see you. Why It Matters: According to Gallup, only 28% of employees feel connected in hybrid environments. Connection isn't a luxury—it's the glue. Without it, collaboration and morale fall flat. The Improv Hack to Try: The Wrong Name Game In your next meeting, have everyone make up a goofy name and fake job title. “Hi, I'm Tater McSnazzle, Chief Glitter Strategist.” “I'm Rufus Bucket, Senior Cloud Fluffer.” Yes, it's weird. But it works. Play cuts through awkwardness and builds connection fast—whether you're face-to-face or floating in the Zoomverse. Why it works: Breaks the ice in a low-stakes, high-fun way Sparks laughter and lowers tension Creates a sense of shared experience—even virtually Coming up Wednesday: Ready to go deeper? Don't miss Episode 296: Hybrid Headaches? Here's How to Make the Office Return Less Awkward & More Awesome. You'll get practical tools to rehumanize your hybrid culture, one joyful moment at a time.

We promise no original thoughts today. We do, however, hope you'll find our borrowed insights to be useful. Eddie shares today about something he read about traits common to students in Ivy League colleges. It's one that we've probably all seen in elite performers in other arenas as well. Don't mistake it for apathy. It's not a “Whatever” attitude. It's just about unflappability. It's just about not getting caught up in the stress in a way that you can't make good decisions when the pressure is on. When you demonstrate this kind of ease, you're setting the example for every one of your workers. You're showing them how we handle things on this team.

In this episode of Jumpstart With Jeff, host Dr. Jeff Buske delivers a transformative masterclass for dentists seeking to break free from the confines of their practice and unlock their full potential. Aimed at high-performing, married male dentists, Dr. Buske redefines success by introducing three powerful "I am" statements: "I am a marketer," "I am a closer," and "I am a leader, not a savior." Through candid reflections on his own journey since graduating dental school in 1997, Dr. Buske dismantles the myth that technical skills alone build a thriving practice. He emphasizes the necessity of marketing to attract ideal patients, closing to guide decisive action, and leading through six "savage skill sets": speaking, seducing, teaching, training, coaching, and consulting. The episode culminates in a pitch for the Expansion Protocol, a three-day event designed to map out 2025 goals across body, being, balance, and business, offering a gamified, actionable framework for personal and professional growth.Key Takeaways:Marketing is about communicating value, not just advertising, and can replace reliance on discounted insurance plans.A "closer" mindset eliminates indecision, fostering clarity in patient and personal interactions.Leadership, distinct from being a savior, involves guiding others through strategic communication and systems.The six savage skill sets empower dentists to create exceptional patient experiences and team dynamics.The Expansion Protocol offers a blueprint for reverse-engineering goals, enhancing productivity and purpose.Quote from the Episode:"I am the one. If you don't believe that about yourself, nobody else will." – Dr. Jeff BuskeTo connect with Dr. Buske follow the links below - LinkedInInstagramFacebookLimitless Dentist AcademyJoin Dental Syndicate HERE

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's often reclusive supreme leader, surfaced this week to hit back at Donald Trump's demands for an unconditional surrender.   Khamanei first came to power as President of Iran in 1981, and he was a surprise choice for supreme leader eight years later. But since then, with the help of the Revolutionary Guard he has had almost complete control of Iran and its anti-Israel and anti-American foreign policy agenda.  Sky's Tom Cheshire speaks to Alex Vatanka, founding director of the Iran program at the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC about how Khamanei is viewed inside Iran and how his policies contributed to the current crisis. Producer: Soila Apparicio Assistant producer: Araminta Parker Editor: Wendy Parker

Note from Jeannine: So, this is a pretty big one for me. In 2020, while my studio was closed, I started manically listening to various podcasts every day looking for motivation and insight. One morning while sitting on the floor of our strength room, I heard the story of The Coffee Bean, as told through Clemson coach, Dabo Sweeney. The origins of that story begin in a jail cell in Texas - with today's guest. Interviewing him and telling him the impact his story had on me was a very cool experience and a reminder to me that my Higher Power is always working in my life...even when I can't see it. Special thank you to Dave from Dopey for connecting me with Damon. Enjoy!Episode description:Today Jeannine interviews Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice. Damon is a college professor, internationally known keynote speaker and 3 x Wall Street Journal bestselling author. His bestselling business book, The Coffee Bean: A Simple Lesson to Create Positive Change, was listed by Forbes' in the “Top Twenty Books You Need to Read to Crush 2020.”His autobiography, The Change Agent: How a Former College QB Sentenced to Life in Prison Transformed His World, vividly tells how he transformed the pot of boiling water that is a Texas maximum-security prison into a pot of coffee.At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury. He turned to hardcore drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress, was a national fundraiser on a U.S. Presidential campaign and eventually trained to be a stockbroker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS). One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked—and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit.After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption, grit and determination continues to inspire audiences today.Damon shares his story of how his first use of meth escalated into homelessness in 18 months, including all manner of tweaker hijinks, including a mail man hustle and stealing a car from the Texas Rangers police impound. We talk recovery, resentments, rebuilding after incarceration and never letting dreams die.

Get ready to challenge your assumptions about work, rest, and control, as you discover how truly observing this day can transform your entire week – and your walk with God.

This special remastered episode of the Lawyerist Podcast features Stephanie's conversation with Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader. We're re-releasing it due to positive feedback on the depth of this discussion, ensuring you'll gain new insights and "aha!" moments with every listen.  In this episode, we explore AI's transformative power, viewing it not as a threat, but as a liberator that enhances our work. We dive into the five core human skills to emphasize in an AI-driven world: strategic thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and creation. We demonstrate how to leverage AI strategically, from evaluating business plans to acting as a growth-minded board member, and you'll hear how we're integrating AI into our own leadership meetings.  Geoff shares real-world examples of using AI as a "thought partner" to stress-test major strategic decisions, even creating an "AI board of advisors." He also provides practical applications for lawyers, such as using AI to review NDAs, stress-test legal arguments, and role-play closing arguments with AI as your jury. To guide your own AI journey, Geoff outlines his "CRIT" framework (Context, Role, Interview, Task) for effective prompting and highlights the importance of understanding AI model settings for data privacy and confidentiality.  Listen to our other episodes on the AI revolution:  #555: How to Use AI and Universal Design to Empower Diverse Thinkers with Susan Tanner Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist   #553: AI Tools and Processes Every Lawyer Should Use with Catherine Sanders Reach Apple Podcasts  Spotify  Lawyerist     #550: Beyond Content: How AI is Changing Law Firm Marketing, with Gyi Tsakalaki and Conrad Saam: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist    Have thoughts about today's episode?

What's Paul's Focus as a Leader? | Learning Leadership with the Apostle Paul, pt. 2 The focus of the leadership books, conferences and trainings of the last 25 years or so has been on organizational leadership. This has created a situation where good christian leaders are people who can grow big and impressive orgs.  But for Paul the standard is different... the way he thinks and talks about leadership as a Christian is focused on developing people not organizations. Colossians 1:28-29 28 We proclaim Him, admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete in Christ. 29 For this purpose I also labor, striving according to His power which works mightily within me.   2 Corinthians 11:2-3 2 For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his trickery, your minds will be led astray from sincere and pure devotion to Christ.   Galatians 4:19-20 19 My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you— 20 but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone of voice, for I am at a loss about you! The primary metric Paul used to evaluate effective Christian leadership is people being formed into Christlikeness.    Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net   Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/   The Listener's Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com   Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - john@johnwhittaker.net If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, via email.

Send us a textThe veil lifts on a shocking story of betrayal, abuse, and corruption as respected Staten Island figure Elliott Carterr reveals disturbing truths about once-influential Blood leader Rameen "Ise Kream" Smith. This raw conversation exposes how a man who commanded respect throughout New Brighton's Tombstone Gangsters used fear and intimidation to mask predatory behavior.Mr. Carterr, a Staten Island podcaster with firsthand prison experiences alongside Ise Kream, shares court documents revealing the gang leader's arrest for sexually abusing a child under 13. The allegations are horrific—showing pornography to a minor, inappropriate touching, and more—all while Smith maintained his position of authority within the community. The 39-year-old's criminal activities eventually extended to betraying his own code, taking a proffer agreement to cooperate against fellow gang member "Tone."The conversation reveals an even more disturbing family pattern, with Ise Kream's brother Jatiek "Bad Blood" Smith allegedly approaching inmates with bizarre proposals to cooperate against them in exchange for financial support. According to news reports, both brothers have histories of sexual crimes against minors, using their gang affiliations as shields against accountability. The discussion highlights how power dynamics within gang structures can enable abusers while silencing victims and witnesses through fear of retaliation.Though some in New Brighton still support Ise Kream despite these revelations, most of Staten Island has turned against him now that the truth has emerged. This powerful episode serves as both a warning about false leaders and a testament to breaking the silence that protects predators. As Chyna Brim states, "I don't wish jail on a lot of people, but I wish jail on him."For more insights into Staten Island's street dynamics, follow LFTG Radio on Instagram and listen to their podcast on all streaming platforms.

This special remastered episode of the Lawyerist Podcast features Stephanie's conversation with Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader. We're re-releasing it due to positive feedback on the depth of this discussion, ensuring you'll gain new insights and "aha!" moments with every listen.  In this episode, we explore AI's transformative power, viewing it not as a threat, but as a liberator that enhances our work. We dive into the five core human skills to emphasize in an AI-driven world: strategic thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and creation. We demonstrate how to leverage AI strategically, from evaluating business plans to acting as a growth-minded board member, and you'll hear how we're integrating AI into our own leadership meetings.  Geoff shares real-world examples of using AI as a "thought partner" to stress-test major strategic decisions, even creating an "AI board of advisors." He also provides practical applications for lawyers, such as using AI to review NDAs, stress-test legal arguments, and role-play closing arguments with AI as your jury. To guide your own AI journey, Geoff outlines his "CRIT" framework (Context, Role, Interview, Task) for effective prompting and highlights the importance of understanding AI model settings for data privacy and confidentiality.  Listen to our other episodes on the AI revolution:  #555: How to Use AI and Universal Design to Empower Diverse Thinkers with Susan Tanner Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist   #553: AI Tools and Processes Every Lawyer Should Use with Catherine Sanders Reach Apple Podcasts  Spotify  Lawyerist     #550: Beyond Content: How AI is Changing Law Firm Marketing, with Gyi Tsakalaki and Conrad Saam: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist    Have thoughts about today's episode?

Israel has launched multiple strikes on Iran after its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, rejected US President Donald Trump's demands to surrender. Regional evacuations are taking place as the the US sends an aircraft carrier to the Middle East, while global calls for de-escalation mount.

We know the name Achilles because of Brad Pitt and Hollywood or we may have read the Iliad.  He was a famous mythical Greek hero whose body was invulnerable, except for the back of his heel.  His mother plunged him into the river Styx to protect his body, but her fingertips covered the heel, leaving it vulnerable.  Research by Dr. Jack Zenger identified four common elements which comprise Achilles' heels for leaders. Blind spots are a problem for all of us.  We can't see our foibles, issues and problems, but they are blindingly obvious to everyone else working for us.  Remember, subordinates are all expert “boss watchers”.  They examine us in the greatest detail every day, in every interaction. Let's examine what Zenger found and see what we can learn as leaders. Lacking Integrity Not too many leaders would be saying they lacked integrity about themselves but that may not be how they are seen by their subordinates.  The organization may be zigging but we decide to zag.  We don't agree with the policy, so we decide to head off in another direction.  There may be promulgated values developed in the senior executive suites and we are not modelling the correct behaviour.  Maybe our big leader egos can't admit mistakes or when we are wrong. We try to bend logic and justify our way out of the situation.  Maybe we say one thing and do the precise opposite of what we are preaching.  “Do what I say, not what I do” – does this sound familiar? Not Accountable “Of course, I am accountable – what nonsense”, may be our first reaction.  We may be telling our boss that the poor results of our team are because we haven't been issued with the sharpest tools in the toolbox.  It is all their fault and we are pristine and perfect.  The 360 survey results are a bloodbath, as our subordinates hoe into us for our various failings, but we dismiss the results.  “Piffle. Don't they know what I am facing here.  The pressure, the stress.  No one appreciates how hard I am working. They have no idea what they are talking about”.  Perhaps our decisions are poor and instead of owning them, we push the blame off on to others, particularly other departments.  “If only IT did their job properly.  If only marketing were more professional.  If only sales was pulling their weight”, ad nauseum. Over-Focused On Self It would be difficult to find leaders who don't have this attribute to varying degrees.  You don't see too many wilting violets whisked up into leadership positions.  Self-promotion is a fundamental aspect of getting ahead in business.  The issues arise when it goes to extremes.  Strong leaders can often believe they are in a zero sum game and another's success lessens their own worth and promotion opportunities.  Not cooperating with rivals or even attempting to sabotage them can be some fallout from this attitude.  Subordinates too can be seen as future rivals who might replace the boss, so better to not delegate to, coach or  provide experience for capable people in order to keep them down.  Uninspiring It would be a rare bird of a leader who admitted they were uninspiring.  We easily believe we are a role model for others, that we have credibility and are someone others would want to emulate.  However, we might be a hopeless public speaker, barely able to string two words together without injecting a series of ums and ahs into proceedings. We might be morose, weighed down with the pressure of our position and responsibilities, permanently in a bad mood.  We might be so busy, we are incapable of directing others and wind up dumping work on them minus the WHY and the how bits of the equation. There is a bitter pill for leaders to swallow to overcome their blind spots.  It is called “feedback” and it can often taste sour, jagged and unpleasant.  We cannot see ourselves as our staff see us, so gird your loins and ask for help to be a better leader.  This is never easy, but the alternative of blundering forward, repeating the same errors is not tenable. At some point the organization will have a reckoning with us and it might prove fatal to our careers.  Better to take our medicine early, under our own direction, than hoping for the best and eventually getting the chop.

Send us a textWelcome to Part Two of this Double-Header Episode.We continue are look at the life and downfall of Abimelech, a ruthless leader who seized power through treachery and ruled with oppression.

Dr. Abbas Milani, research fellow and co-director of the Iran Democracy Project at the Hoover Institution, joined The Guy Benson Show today to share his personal and expert reaction to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. As an Iranian native, he explained why he thinks Netanyahu struck at the right moment, while Iran was weakened and "fooled by their own rhetoric." Milani also noted the growing number of Iranians who quietly yearn for regime change, and made a passionate case for a future Iranian government focused on innovation over nuclear weapons and peace with for both Israel and Palestine.

US involvement in Iran hangs in the balance as fighting continues

Déjà vu in the Matrix films signified a change in the simulation, when something was reset. This is exactly how it feels when watching and listening to news this week: WMDs have become “Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb,” and Bush's “you are either with us, or with the terrorists” has become Netanyahu's “it's either us or them.” It's all broadcast via programing through television (Zion) and social media, as in the enchantress Medea in Greek mythology. The enchantress enchants, which means reciting an incantation like “Israel has a right to defend itself.” This repetition of these incantations is a spell that programs the mind-set within the head-temple, which produces the zealotry we see. Accusations of the “WMD” need no proof, because the culture is saturated with so much anti-Islam, anti-Arab, and truly anti-semitic propaganda that accusation is evidence enough of guilt. Tulsi Gabbard, director of National Intelligence, and American spies, all deny Iran has a bomb, yet the President ignores this. It's similar to the historic witch hunt with the accused only being freed upon death, the only proof of innocence. This underlying occult motif is also amplified by the Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Libya wars being aligned with Jewish holy days, with Iran on June 13 aligning with the 613 Mtizvot and both Friday 13 and the witching hour. Now we approach the summer solstice and the three week period of jewish mourning for the destruction of their temple and exile. Fear of the bomb itself, with threats to evacuate Tehran or Tel Aviv, or even an American city, instills as much terror as the “shock and awe” of Iraq. The most interesting possibility might be that Israel, not Iran, threatened to assassinate the President, and that if Iran did have a bomb, that Israel has been lying about their intentions to use it for decades, while they conceal their own program as part of a conspiracy, along with their psychotic Samson option to destroy the world. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Today, President Trump says he knows where Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is but "we" won't kill him - "at least not for now".In a series of posts on social media, he went on to demand an 'unconditional surrender', as Iran and Israel fire missiles for a fifth day.

Watch Part 2 of our interview with Patricia Torres Ray, former Minnesota state senator and former colleague of Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman.

On today's special edition, I begin by offering my observations on the first three days of war between Israel and Iran. At some point, we need to restore the laws of just war fighting if we are going to defeat savages. We're joined by Yoram Hazony live from Israel for an on-the-ground perspective, as well as thoughts on American and nationalist foreign policy in general. Yoram makes the case that both hyper-interventionists and the new “peace movement” suffer from the same illness of utopianism. True realists and nationalists understand inherent human evil and the need to keep it in check without trying to micromanage the world. To that end, Yoram makes the case for America following Reagan's approach to the Falklands War with Britian and standing up Israel and a long-term bulwark in the region. This is not an exercise in dragging us into war, but quite the contrary: Standing up strong regional allies is the key to protecting our interests without being embroiled in every conflict. We also discuss the spiritual trend in Israel, as the society is becoming more religious than ever.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
