Known for his sharp insights on media, identity, and the shape of the American conversation, Dave joins Joe just as he's about to head "off the grid" for a month-long digital detox—making this one of his final interviews before a complete unplug. Together, Tom and Dave dive into the rise of the "woke right," the evolution of right-wing populism, and the complex dynamics fueling extremism on both sides of the aisle. The conversation covers everything from cultural hysteria and the economics behind fear-driven media, to the real-world implications of identity politics and anti-Semitism. They debate narrative control in American society, the comparison of current media figures, and speculate on the deeper economic forces that are shaping today's political climate. If you want a candid look behind the headlines—filled with both black pills and white pills—this episode pulls no punches on what's at stake.

When was the last time you were genuinely wowed? With all the content we consume on the daily it's getting more and more difficult to find these moments of amazement.

In today's episode, Tom and Producer Drew dive into the passionate—and sometimes heated—comments from their recent deep dive on taxes and economic inequality. Using your thought-provoking feedback as a springboard, Tom tackles the emotional debate around whether the rich are paying their fair share, why taxes hit the poor and middle class hardest, and what's really behind the growing economic divide. From the complexities of inflation, debt, and money printing to the provocative notion that “eating the rich” can backfire historically, this episode doesn't shy away from hard truths. Tom breaks down how government spending, loopholes, and the influence of lobbyists contribute to our economic woes—and why simply taxing the wealthy isn't the silver bullet many hope it might be. If you've ever wondered how economic policy truly impacts everyday lives, or what steps we could take to restore prosperity for the middle class, you won't want to miss this candid, sometimes contentious, and always insightful Q&A.

Five years ago, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history ripped apart Beirut's waterfront with a terrifying power. The blast, which many still refer to as "the bomb," was not terrorism, nor was it war. It was caused by issues that have plagued Lebanon for years, and still do: municipal incompetence and government corruption. Leila Molana-Allen reports.

Most principals feel like they're doing everything right — but something still feels wrong. That's not a personal failure. It's proof you're playing someone else's game. In this episode, Danny Bauer invites school leaders to stop following broken rules and start authoring their own. Breaking Down the Old Rules

This isn't a story about shortcuts. Brian's big break didn't come from an investor pitch; it was earned through years of hard work in a coffee shop. When his boss and future partner faced a crisis, Brian's loyalty and commitment proved more valuable than any business plan. He was offered a co-founder position not because of what he had or because of his entrepreneurship experience, but because of who he is - someone with high integrity and capable of bringing out the best in others when it matters most.That same principle is now the backbone of his restaurant, Bird Bird Biscuits, and its incredible company culture. In this episode, Ryan Atkinson and Brian dive deep into what it takes to build a team that genuinely cares. Brian shares his business leadership philosophy of "tending the garden"—nurturing his people while actively pruning bad habits—and gives a masterclass on creating a positive work environment that reduces turnover and drives success. Tune in for an honest conversation about servant leadership and how to build a business where your team is proud to show up.Takeaways:- Enter markets that are not saturated. Finding an underserved niche, like biscuit sandwiches in a taco-dominated city, provides a significant competitive advantage.- Live or die by focus and simplicity." Instead of offering a wide range of products, concentrate on perfecting one thing to build a strong reputation.- The most powerful marketing is a product and experience so good that customers become your biggest advocates through word-of-mouth.- Company culture starts at the top. Leaders must personally live the values they preach, as their actions set the true standard for the entire team.- View your culture as a garden that needs constant attention. You must actively nurture the good elements and "prune" the negative influences to keep it healthy.- Establish core values that are action-oriented (e.g., "Blow people's minds") rather than passive, single words, as this makes them more practical to implement daily.- The first and most important step in becoming a better leader is to work on yourself. Tend to your own "garden" of personal faults and opportunities for growth.- Trust is forged in adversity. Proving your loyalty and reliability during a crisis can build the foundation for a strong and lasting business partnership.- Don't rely on your own opinions. Create a system to test everything—from products to processes—and let customer feedback and data guide your decisions.- Be prepared to pivot. The forced change to a service-window model during COVID unexpectedly maximized their kitchen's potential and boosted revenue.- Integrity can be more valuable than capital. You can earn opportunities, like a business partnership with no buy-in, through demonstrated hard work and character.- Approach leadership with the philosophy that "we're all just walking each other home." Seeing your team and customers as fellow travelers on a shared journey fosters empathy and unity.Tags:  Business Growth, Entrepreneurship, Business Leadership, Company Culture, Data Driven Resources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/46F5nxJ Connect with Brian: https://www.instagram.com/birdbirdbiscuit/?hl=en

We learn through imitation. This is why we have role models and icons. Those who have gone before us and shown us what's possible. Whether we know it or not, we are followers first. The Apostle John talks about this in 3 John, where he writes, “Do not imitate what is evil but what is good.” In other words, you will imitate what you watch, so watch wisely. From spiritual mentors to social media influencers, the people and patterns we imitate form our character and ultimately how we make our way in the word.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Leaders in France, Canada, and the U.K. have stated they would recognize and call for Palestinian statehood at the next General Assembly of the United Nations. The calls from world leaders come on the heels of troubling images of starvation and famine in Gaza. President Trump has long been an ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but Trump also pushed back against Netanyahu's claims that there was no starvation in the region. It's a rare pressure campaign on the Israeli government to improve conditions for Palestinians as the conflict between Israel and Hamas wages on. But will it result in meaningful change? Are other factors playing into Trump's callout?Republican legislators in Texas will discuss redrawing the state's congressional map during a special summer session. The plan, first floated by the Trump administration, could create five new seats in the House of Representatives if approved. Democratic officials in and out of the Lone Star State are trying to figure out how to fight back. Do they have any choice? And who does the move benefit?The newest frontline of the culture war? The movie Superman and blue jeans. KCRW discusses the latest “woke” controversies.

Today's We Should Get Out More brings us to this phrase, straight from Dallas Willard: Bless what you dread. We were blessed by God and we are made to be a blessing. For fun and to put this into perspective, we're taking a lesson from the Hokey Pokey song and applying it to blessing others: you put your whole self in. (Sing it with us: You put your right foot in, take your right foot out…) To truly bless is to do so intentionally and with your whole heart and spirit. The very act of blessing is something we see in the Bible from the beginning of time. God creates, God gives, God adds value. He blesses the trees and the seas and the sky and the earth. The world exists to be blessed, and you were made to be a blessing.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

What's the point of PepsiCo's new sub-line of prebiotic colas? Is it addressing genuine consumer demand for functional ingredients, or just riding the wellness wave? The hosts once again weigh in. They also highlight emerging shot brands gaining traction and take a closer look at how the viral “WaterTok” phenomenon may have influenced Keurig Dr Pepper's acquisition of Dyla Brands. Show notes: 0:25: Take Two. Fun > Function. We Gotta Have More Ginger. Sturring The Pot. Thin Or Thick? Mike Takes A Hit. – The team kicks things off with behind-the-scenes banter, including a powdered drink spill mishap and Ray's failed frother. The hosts dive into PepsiCo's introduction of a prebiotic cola and debate its real consumer appeal, questioning whether health claims like “prebiotics” are more about marketing than meaningful function. They also discuss the rise of functional shot brands like GNGR Labs and Canada-based Slapp, and highlight Keurig Dr Pepper's acquisition of Dyla Brands, the maker of Stur drink mixes. Ray previews upcoming Taste Radio meetups in Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, and London., before John samples a new flavor of Xochitl tortilla chips.

What's the point of reading if it doesn't improve your life and work? In the second installment of the Pages to Projects summer series, BJ Kraemer explores why reading alone isn't enough; true leadership development requires learning. Drawing from personal experience, business coaching insights, and frameworks like the West Point leadership development model, BJ offers a practical breakdown of how to convert ideas from books into action, habit, and growth. If you're ready to transform your reading habit into a leadership accelerator, this episode gives you the tools to make every page you read count. Tune in to learn how to build a learning culture for yourself and your team! Key Points From This Episode:•   Why "leaders are learners" goes beyond passive reading or listening.•   Insight into West Point's leadership development model.•   A 4-step learning method: absorb, apply, reflect, reinforce.•   The power of teaching what you've learned to others.•   Tactical, operational, and strategic ways to embed learning into your life and work. Quotes:“If we don't make the bridge between what we [read] and how we can apply it, we're actually not taking the action to learn or to improve ourselves.” — BJ Kraemer  “When you're looking at the world through the lens of who you're trying to become and you're looking at all of the books that you're reading from that lens, the nuggets will start coming to you: – ‘I can change this. I can get better here.'” — BJ Kraemer  Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: E214: Leaders are ReadersWho Not How10x is Easier Than 2xThe Science of ScalingLeadership Blueprints PodcastMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn

Transformation is no longer a project with a distinct beginning, middle, and end—it's the water leaders swim in. For leaders, the ability to lead through perpetual transformation has become mission critical. In this episode of Leadership Lounge, we talk to four of our trusted advisors—Bob Marcus, Hetty Pye, Sean Dineen, and Alain Ishak—who share their perspectives on: How to build cultures that thrive on continuous change without burning out teams The evolution from decision-maker to enabler and why this identity shift can be psychologically challenging for leaders What "AI-ready leadership" looks like and how to move beyond the pilot phase The balance between top-down conviction and bottom-up creativity in transformation efforts "Organizations change when people change, and people change when leaders change. Leaders need to role model and project the changes they want to see in the world." Bob Marcus, Leadership Advisor, Russell Reynolds Associates Four things you'll learn from this episode: The most effective leaders maintain a consistent, compelling vision while demonstrating tactical agility—providing direction and stability even when the path forward requires continuous course correction. Leaders must flex different muscles and manage competing polarities depending on context to effectively spearhead transformation—sometimes leading from the front, sometimes from behind, balancing disruption with pragmatism. The shift from expert decision-maker to enabler requires leaders to accept that their value comes from asking better questions, rather than having all the answers. Organizations can have the best technical infrastructure, but without leaders who embrace AI and role model its use in strategy, decision-making, and operations, transformation efforts will fall flat. In this episode, we will cover: (00:00:08) Why traditional five-year roadmaps no longer work in today's accelerated business environment (00:03:03) What perpetual transformation means and why it's become critical for survival (00:06:52) Why leaders must view C-suite colleagues as their first team. (00:08:36) The importance of productive conflict and unified decision-making (00:11:30) Why culture change is 70% of transformation success (00:13:18) What AI-ready leadership looks like in practice (00:15:42) How to move beyond the AI pilot phase (00:17:27) Strategic disruptors and their role in challenging the status quo A closer look at the research from this episode: Strategy Decode and Activation, Russell Reynolds Associates, 2025

Convenience and quality don't always go hand in hand, but Tip Top Cocktails is changing that perception, one perfectly crafted drink at a time. Founded in 2019, Tip Top is an Atlanta-based brand known for its spirit-forward, bar-quality offerings. Childhood friends Yoni Reisman and Neal Cohen launched the company with a simple mission: make great cocktails more accessible, no bartender required. Tip Top's lineup includes time-honored classics like the Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Margarita, as well as modern favorites such as the Paper Plane, Penicillin, and Naked & Famous. Each cocktail is precisely mixed and served in a sleek 100 mL lowball-style can. The products are available in over 25 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., and carried by national retailers such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Gelson's Markets, and Total Wine & More. Amid a rapidly expanding market for RTD cocktails, Tip Top has earned high praise from The New York Times, Food & Wine, and other publications. Perhaps surprisingly, the company hasn't taken any institutional funding to date. In this episode, Yoni and Neal share how an idea sparked on the music festival circuit evolved into a fast-growing brand with national reach. Their journey is a case study in bootstrapping, brand discipline, and building loyalty through an unwavering commitment to quality and customer experience. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Neal Cohen & Yoni Reisman, Co-Founders, Tip Top Cocktails – The co-founders discuss how Tip Top's origins stem from Yoni's time in the music festival scene, recruiting award-winning bartender Miles Macquarrie to help develop the cocktails and how they emphasized authentic, balanced flavors and supported that with retro-inspired branding and educational elements like listing ingredients. Neal and Yoni also talk about Tip Top's collaborations with renowned bartenders such as Sam Ross and Joaquín Simó and how it reinforced the brand's credibility and dedication to cocktail culture. They also explain how Tip Top has relied on grassroots marketing, standout packaging, and word-of-mouth to build its brand, with its 100 mL can seen as both stylish and practical and how the company has earned respect within the hospitality industry and among professional bartenders. They explain why they continue to personally taste each batch of cocktails and have scrapped full runs when standards weren't met and how “building a brand people would truly miss” if it left the market is their North Star.

Hope in Action: Leadership Lessons from Cynthia Rivard on Navigating Change and Inspiring ImpactIn a world marked by uncertainty and rapid transformation, the need for authentic, visionary leadership has never been greater. In a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sat down with Cynthia Rivard, author of Hope for a New Era: Turning the Tide Love and Leadership Through Turbulent Times, CEO of Cynthia Rivard Strategic Consulting, and Founder of the Global Rising Tide Foundation. Cynthia's work focuses on empowering leaders to foster hope, embrace change, and drive meaningful impact within their organizations and communities. This blog post distills the core principles shared during their conversation, offering actionable strategies for leaders to turn hope into action.The Core Principles of Transformational LeadershipCynthia emphasizes that hope isn't just a passive feeling; it's faith in a better future that drives action. As a leader, she believes that hope begins with crafting a clear vision for a better future and taking deliberate, small steps toward that vision. By acting on hope, leaders can inspire others to do the same, creating a ripple effect of empowerment throughout their teams and communities. Cynthia suggests that leaders should tap into their intuition and wisdom to guide their actions, sharing their journey openly and transparently to inspire those around them.One of the biggest challenges in leadership is overcoming resistance to change. Cynthia explains that resistance is deeply rooted in our subconscious, a survival mechanism that can hold leaders back if left unexamined. She encourages leaders to be aware of their fears and discomforts around change and take small, manageable actions to disrupt that inertia. Modeling vulnerability as a leader, Cynthia believes, helps create an environment where teams feel safe to embrace change, experiment, and grow together.Lastly, Cynthia speaks about the importance of fostering self-love and confidence in leadership. True confidence, according to Cynthia, is not about bravado, but about self-acceptance and self-compassion. She emphasizes that when leaders embody self-worth, they empower their teams to do the same, creating a culture of resilience and collaboration. By cultivating these qualities in themselves and their teams, leaders can build a foundation of trust and psychological safety that fuels innovation and success.About Cynthia RivardCynthia Rivard is the CEO of Cynthia Rivard Strategic Consulting and an author of Hope for a New Era: Turning the Tide Love and Leadership Through Turbulent Times. Cynthia's work is dedicated to empowering leaders to embrace hope, navigate change, and drive transformational impact within their organizations and communities.

Organizations love to talk about well-being. But scratch beneath the surface, and it's the same old perks: gym discounts, meditation apps, an extra day off. All while work itself remains exhausting.Leaders, you need to wake up!Only 20% of employees are thriving.More than 60% report daily stress.And the economic cost of poor workplace well-being is an estimated $12 trillion.It's time to fix the way we work.It's easy to slap “well-being” on a poster. Harder to design work that doesn't drain people in the first place. In this special solo episode of Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari, Founder and CEO of Happiness Squad, explores why flourishing at work must be a strategic imperative for leaders and organizations.

Episode 4663: Trump Meets With EU Leaders; Bringing Giuliani Era Law And Order To England

Sabina Nawaz: You're the Boss Sabina Nawaz is an executive coach who advises C-level executives and teams at Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions. During her 14-year tenure at Microsoft, she went from managing software development teams to leading the company's executive development and succession planning efforts for over 11,000 managers and nearly a thousand executives, advising Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer directly. She's the author of You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need)*. Every leader I know intends to be authentic. Unfortunately, we sometimes use authenticity as an excuse not to do the critical work of calibrating our actions. In this conversation, Sabina and I discuss how to avoid that trap so we can show up more genuinely for others. Key Points “Yeah, but…” signals justification and holds us back from what we most need to learn. Your success comes despite unhelpful traits, not because of them. Pure authenticity is a complete fallacy. Authenticity is not singular. We sometimes use authenticity as an excuse not to do the important work of calibrating our actions. Don't let the smokescreen of past “authenticity” get in the way of growth. Authenticity is not static. Reading your old past social media posts will remind you of this. When shifting, start with small experiments to nudge you in a new direction. Language that may be warning signs of the authenticity trap: “That's just how I am.” “I'm not the kind of person who…” “I'm not being true to myself if…” “That's the way I've always done things, and it's worked for me.” Resources Mentioned You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need)* by Sabina Nawaz Interview Notes Download my interview notes in PDF format (free membership required).
