Vinny Brusco is an insight and perspective coach, community builder, and podcast host who helps men cultivate clarity, connection, and purpose. After 16 years in the car business, he walked away from a lucrative but misaligned career to build a life and business rooted in what matters most to him: authentic brotherhood, mental and spiritual health, and intentional living. As the founder of Agora Social Club and host of The Council of Dudes podcast (with over 500 episodes), Vinny creates spaces where men can drop the performative self-help act and actually live in alignment instead of autopilot. On this episode we talk about: Leaving a high-income, misaligned career for a more meaningful path How sales skills become a “break glass in case of emergency” safety net Why fulfillment in the pursuit matters more than status or titles The loneliness epidemic among men and entrepreneurs Building real, local community through Agora Social Club and long-form conversation Top 3 Takeaways You can be making great money and still be completely out of alignment—and no number in your bank account will fix that internal mismatch. Learning to sell is one of the most valuable “forever skills” you can develop, giving you the confidence to take bigger risks in pursuit of a life you actually want. Deep, in-person community and long-form conversation are antidotes to modern male loneliness, especially for entrepreneurial men who often feel isolated at the top. Notable Quotes “This isn't a weekend hobby; it's a heart-and-soul project that needs a life force behind it.” “If you'd still do it even if you never became ‘the best' at it, you're probably on the right path.” “The transaction is just an energetic byproduct of a real, authentic conversation.” Connect with Vinny Brusco: Instagram (personal): @vinnybrusco Agora Social Club website: agorasocialclub.com Instagram (club): @agora_westchester Podcast: The Council of Dudes Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Hi everyone! I announced it in the last episode, but in case you didn't catch it, this will be my last Focus Forward episode so I thought we could dive a little into the experience of doing a podcast and share some of what we've learned. First, I want to take a moment to reflect on what I've come to understand after hosting this show for the past four years, and what I hope you carry with you from Focus Forward. Then, I'll share a recording of a conversation Sean Potts, our editor and producer, and I had talking about the show and what it was like for us to build it from the ground up. There's also a fun blooper reel at the end before our final outro.I truly hope that Focus Forward has helped you feel less alone, more informed, and more willing to ask for help when you need it. Learning about yourself is not a weakness. It's one of the first steps toward meaningful change. Thank you so much for taking time out of your days to listen over the past four years - There aren't really words that express the feelings I have about this experience. Just know that I'm grateful for every one of you. I also want to thank the staff and leadership at Beyond BookSmart for supporting me over the years.

This week, Jake and Bob reflect on a few topics that were discussed during a recent "Holy Desire" Priest's retreat with the JPII Healing Center. They discuss the connection between communion with God and the removal of pain, how woundedness redirects good desires, and why coping strategies are not usually virtuous. Jake and Bob also answer a few questions received from priests at the retreat, such as—Am I using wounds as an excuse for sin? What is the difference between soul ties and enmeshment? And should I share my wounds with my parents? Key Points: Healing is best understood as an ongoing encounter with God's love that restores communion and is not simply the removal of pain. Pain relief can be a fruit of healing, but it should never become the primary goal over intimacy with God. Broken communion is the reason we experience pain. Wounds often lead us to develop maladaptive responses that we mistakenly elevate into "virtues." Holy desires naturally draw us toward love and communion with God and others. When wounds and vows press down on holy desires, those desires often emerge sideways as disordered desires. Disordered desires are not evil at their core but are distorted expressions of something originally good. Enmeshment reflects a lack of healthy differentiation and often develops within family systems. Soul ties are distorted bonds that form through sin, wounds, or misplaced dependency. Learning to recognize the good desire beneath another's behavior transforms how we relate to them. Love grows when we respond to a person's holy desire rather than reacting to their maladaptive behavior. Discernment, timing, and freedom of heart are essential when considering sharing one's wounds with parents.

Joined this week by the one and only Phil Jose.The first time Phil came on the show, I was out of the country and had Rob Fisher step in as guest host. I enjoyed listening to that Scrap so much and knew I had to bring Phil back for another round. We talk a lot about tactical decision games, and the lessons he has learned after building and running them for years. The pitfalls to avoid and the best ways to go about setting up your own. Of course, as always the direction of the discussion was driven by the amazing questions from the audience. Let's scrap. You already know this one's gonna hit.

The 118th Millrose Games delivered a great show and we break it all down. But the biggest performance of the weekend was in Boston not Millrose as Sam Ruthe, just 16 years old, ran 3:48 in the mile to become the youngest man ever under 3:50 by more than a full year. Cam Myers dominated the Wannamaker Mile in 3:47, Colin Sahlman broke a 37-year-old NCAA 800m record with a 1:44.7 victory, and Cole Hocker looked every bit the world's best distance runner in winning the two mile. Meanwhile, Roisin Willis set the American indoor 800m record in Boston, Nikki Hiltz got a big win, and Cooper Luktenhaus added another high school record to his collection. But it wasn't all celebrations. Is Bryce Hoppel's window closing? Why can't Ollie Hoare find his form? Is Hobbs Kessler's injury excuse a relief or a red flag? The episode also digs into the controversial decision by World Athletics to invalidate Jacob Kiplimo's 56:42 half marathon world record due to drafting behind the lead vehicle. Plus: Is it good for young stars to experience defeat? Should Cam Myers skip World Indoors for a domestic meet? And what exactly happened with the Millrose pacing lights?
In this wide-ranging conversation, Sarah Jeanneault shares her unconventional journey from struggling with math in school to becoming a respected leader in fintech, trading education, and enterprise knowledge management. She and Dwayne Kerrigan explore the deep gaps in financial literacy, why traditional education often fails to prepare people for real-world decision-making, and how learning truly begins after formal schooling ends.Sarah explains how she applied adult learning theory to teach herself trading, why psychology matters more than numbers in the markets, and how curiosity, pattern recognition, and humility shaped her success. The discussion expands into the future of education, AI's role in learning, entrepreneurship, identity shifts after business exits, and the emotional reality of leadership transitions. This episode is a thoughtful examination of growth, risk, and why continuous learning is the most valuable skill anyone can develop.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Sarah opens by naming the gap in real-world financial literacy.02:00 – Dwayne introduces Sarah and frames the episode around learning and reinvention.05:00 – Sarah shares struggling with math and early assumptions about intelligence.09:00 – Losing her best friend and questioning the direction of her life.14:00 – Discovering trading and applying adult learning theory to self-education.18:00 – Why financial literacy is rarely taught despite its life-long impact.23:00 – Breaking down trading basics and removing unnecessary complexity.28:00 – Psychology, emotion, and why ego derails good financial decisions.33:00 – Risk, uncertainty, and learning to sit with discomfort.38:00 – Podcasts, curiosity, and self-directed learning as modern education.44:00 – Continuous learning as the foundation of entrepreneurship and leadership.49:00 – Gamifying learning to build confidence and consistency over time.54:00 – Building community through transparency and shared learning.59:00 – Scaling education-driven businesses and teaching at scale.64:00 – Identity shifts after acquisitions and redefining success.69:00 – Leadership, disagreement, and creating psychologically safe teams.74:00 – AI, critical thinking, and the future of learning.79:00 – Personal growth, reinvention, and staying curious long-term.84:00 – Reflections on learning, humility, and what truly creates confidence.88:00 – Closing thoughts, gratitude, and setting up Part 2.Key Takeaways:Financial literacy is rarely taught, yet deeply shapes life decisions.Learning accelerates when curiosity replaces fear of being “bad at math.”Real education often begins after formal schooling ends.Trading and business are driven as much by psychology as by data.Growth comes from pattern recognition, experimentation, and reflection.Entrepreneurship requires comfort with uncertainty and identity shifts.AI will amplify learning — but only if critical thinking is prioritized.Strong leaders create environments where disagreement is encouraged.Sustainable success comes from continuous learning and reinvention.Resources...
The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 387: He Shot my Buck Out From Under Me : Aaron Olsen Next Step Outdoors In this episode of the Bowhunter Chronicles podcast, Adam sits down to talk with Aaron Olsen of Next Step Outdoors to break down the real-world challenges of public land hunting, covering strategy, mindset, and decision-making from start to finish of a hard-fought hunt. The discussion explores balancing family life and hunting season, managing expectations, and adapting when conditions and pressure don't go as planned. A pivotal moment in the hunt sparks the core debate of the episode: while glassing a buck, another hunter spotted the same deer, slipped in, and ultimately shot it out from in front of them. What followed became a race to the buck—and a larger conversation about ethics, unwritten rules, and fair play on public land. Was the other hunter in the wrong, or was it simply part of hunting ground that belongs to everyone? Beyond that moment, the episode dives into missed opportunities, mid-hunt adjustments, weather challenges, deer movement, and spot-and-stalk versus ground hunting tactics. Mental toughness and patience are tested as pressure increases from other hunters, leading to honest reflections on luck vs skill, scouting, preparation, and lessons learned for future hunts. Topics Covered: Public land hunting strategy Hunting ethics and shared ground Deer movement and scouting Spot-and-stalk vs ground hunting Decision-making under pressure

But God invites us into something deeper: contentment rooted in trust. In this final episode of the Free From Comparison mini-series, we talk about how contentment isn't about settling or silencing dreams — it's about resting in God's goodness and timing for your unique story.Through Scripture and honest encouragement, you'll learn how contentment is learned through trust, how gratitude breaks the power of comparison, and how trusting God's timing brings peace even in seasons of waiting.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 15In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover intriguing discoveries about Mercury's geological activity, NASA's innovative Dragonfly mission to Titan, and the environmental impacts of rocket fuel pollution.Mercury's Surprising StreaksA new study reveals bright streaks, or lineae, on Mercury's surface, suggesting the planet is not as geologically inactive as previously thought. Researchers from the University of Bern utilized machine learning to analyze over 100,000 images from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, discovering that these streaks are likely caused by the outgassing of volatile materials from beneath Mercury's crust. This finding indicates ongoing geological processes and will be further explored by the BepiColombo mission, set to reach Mercury later this year.NASA's Dragonfly Mission to TitanNASA is developing the Dragonfly, a car-sized rotocopter designed to explore Saturn's moon Titan, which features methane and ethane lakes. Scheduled for launch in 2028, Dragonfly will utilize Titan's dense atmosphere to fly to various locations, examining environments that may harbor organic materials essential for life. The mission builds on the success of the Ingenuity rotocopter on Mars, with extensive testing underway to ensure optimal performance in Titan's unique conditions.Rocket Fuel Pollution and the Ozone LayerA recent study highlights the damaging effects of burning rocket fuels, such as kerosene, on Earth's ozone layer. The report indicates that the rapid growth of the rocket launch industry is exacerbating this issue, particularly affecting regions like Antarctica and parts of Australia.

Normally thought of as the original champion of free-market economics, Smith was far more interested in history, human psychology and the problems inherent in all political systems. What does it mean to live in a commercial society? How should we understand the promise and pitfalls of equality? Where does human liberty come from? And why has the Adam Smith Institute made a mockery of his name?

Jessica shares her raw journey of moving from extremes and perfectionism to calm, consistency, and self-trust, without giving up her identity or drive. You'll hear how... ✅ Learning to sit with discomfort ✅ Changing her internal dialogue ✅ Letting go of the "something is wrong with me" narrative ...Completely transformed her relationship with fitness, food, and herself. This conversation is especially for the high-functioning woman who keeps asking, "Why can't I just do this?" Tune in for a powerful reminder that you don't need to fix yourself, you need to trust yourself, and everything changes from there. Highlights Why self-sabotage often isn't a discipline problem... but a lack of self-trust and safety with yourself. How living in extremes (all-in or all-out) creates the emotional and physical rollercoaster so many high performers feel stuck on. Learning to sit with discomfort without numbing, escaping, or swinging back to perfectionism. The mindset shifts that turned fitness from punishment into a stabilizing, life-giving habit. Why calm, consistency, and the "middle ground" are not boring... but the foundation for lasting confidence, peace, and results.

Why Soft Skills Outlast Technical Skills on Product Teams - Mike CohnAnyone who has worked in product development for more than a few years has seen the same pattern repeat itself.The technical skills that once felt essential gradually—or sometimes suddenly—become obsolete. Tools change. Frameworks fall out of favor. Architectures that once seemed modern start to look dated.This isn't new, but it is accelerating.The half-life of technical skills keeps shrinking, especially in technology. In the 1980s, it took ten years for half of what you knew to become outdated. Today, it is four years, and will soon fall below two years according to a Stanford professor. This raises an important question for leaders:Where does investment in people have the greatest long-term impact?Technical skills are necessary, of course. But they are rarely durable.Soft skills behave very differently.When someone learns how to collaborate well, make good decisions, facilitate discussions, or lead others, those skills don't decay at the same rate. Instead, they tend to compound. They become part of how that person works.Learning how to learn is a good example. Once someone develops that capability, it stays with them. The same is true for decision-making, leadership, and collaboration. These are skills that can continue to improve over time—but they don't become irrelevant.I once saw just how important this was during a demo to a group of nurses.A programmer demonstrated new functionality and showed text on the screen that suggested giving Saltine crackers to a newborn—clearly clinically inappropriate.He tried to explain that it was just placeholder text. The real point, he said, was the workflow, not the words.But to the nurses, the words mattered a great deal.Their professional identity is grounded in “do no harm.” What they saw on the screen violated that principle. They were ready to escalate the issue and cancel the project.What saved the project wasn't a technical fix.It was the project manager's soft skills.He calmed the situation, acknowledged the nurses' concerns, explained what had happened, and persuaded them to come back a week later for a revised demo.The failure wasn't technical—it was a failure of empathy.Product development is full of uncertainty. We work with evolving requirements, incomplete information, and users whose trust we must earn and keep.Soft skills reduce risk in these environments.Empathy helps teams understand users. Clear communication builds trust. Collaboration prevents small misunderstandings from becoming major setbacks.And when these skills improve, the benefit isn't limited to one person.If someone learns a new technical skill, that benefit often stays with them. But when someone learns to collaborate better, the entire team benefits. Everyone gets better.This is one reason leaders often underestimate the return on investing in soft skills.The payoff isn't always immediate or easy to measure. It tends to show up most clearly under pressure—when teams need to have hard conversations, discuss options honestly, and make good decisions quickly.That's also when the absence of soft skills is most costly.Some leaders think these skills can wait until things slow down. In reality, pressure is when they matter most.Teams with strong soft skills can disagree productively, make tradeoffs together, and move forward with confidence—because trust was built earlier.Everyone on a product development team benefits from strong soft skills, but some roles depend on them especially heavily.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/
When you've spent most of your adult life believing your body has to look a certain way to be desirable, it can feel impossible to think anything different. In this Coaching Hotline episode, I answer a listener who feels stuck believing her body must change for men to be attracted to her, even after years of thought work. I also respond to a question about struggling to identify emotions beyond anxiety and feeling empty or disconnected. I explain why strong emotions are often the easiest to access at first, what it actually means to describe a feeling physically, and how learning to stay with sensations without judgment builds emotional awareness over time.Submit your own question here and it might get answered on a future episode: unfuckyourbrain.com/coachinghotlineGet full show notes, transcript, and more information here: schoolofnewfeministthought.com/463Follow along on Instagram: instagram.com/karaloewentheil/

If you struggle with health anxiety or body hyper-focus, you know how quickly a sensation can turn into fear.A tight muscle, a flutter, a strange feeling and suddenly your mind is scanning, analyzing, and reacting as if something is wrong. This guided meditation is designed to interrupt that cycle. Rather than trying to calm yourself through reassurance or distraction, this practice helps you do something more effective: learn to notice physical sensations without reacting to them. Using principles from nervous system regulation, interoceptive exposure, and cognitive defusion, this meditation teaches your body and brain a new association, that sensations can exist without meaning danger. In this meditation, you'll practice: Observing physical sensations without labeling them as threats Separating sensations from anxious thoughts Reducing body hyper-monitoring Allowing discomfort without resistance Teaching your nervous system safety through experience, not reassurance This is not a relaxation only meditation.It's a skill-building practice meant to retrain your response to bodily sensations over time. Listen when you feel stuck in your body, hyper-aware of sensations, or caught in the fear → reaction loop.The goal isn't to make sensations disappear, it's to change how you respond to them.

What if the real reason your relationship feels off has nothing to do with love and everything to do with how you handle conflict?In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sat down with my brother Jayson Gaddis for one of the realest conversations I've had about relationships, conflict, masculinity, and what it actually takes to build a thriving partnership while still chasing big dreams. Jayson is the founder of The Relationship School, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Getting to Zero, a husband, a father, and a former licensed psychotherapist who has spent decades in the trenches helping couples repair connection and communicate better. Over 100,000 people have gone through his programs, and it's easy to see why this dude doesn't sugarcoat the truth, but he delivers it with heart, humility, and wisdom.This episode matters because a lot of high-performing entrepreneurs are unknowingly burning down their most important relationship while trying to build everything else. We're great at hiring coaches for business, fitness, and money, but when it comes to marriage or partnership, we assume we should “just know.” Jayson breaks that myth wide open and shows why conflict isn't the problem… avoiding it is.One of the biggest takeaways for me was how ego and defensiveness quietly sabotage connection. Jayson explains how many men react from shame without realizing it, and how that defensiveness blocks intimacy and trust. Another powerful lesson was reframing conflict as a skill, not a sign you're with the wrong person. Conflict is inevitable. Learning how to repair is what separates relationships that grow stronger from those that slowly erode.We also dive deep into one of the most practical tools I've ever learned for communication: LUFU—Listen Until the other person Feels Understood. Sounds simple, but it's a total game-changer. Jayson walks through how to actually do it in real life, not theory, and why leading with understanding, not apologies, calms the nervous system and creates safety. That alone can transform how arguments end… and how connected you feel afterward.Another huge insight was understanding attachment styles, why one partner often wants space while the other wants to talk, and how those childhood patterns show up under stress. When you can recognize the dynamic underneath the argument, everything shifts. You stop fighting the person and start addressing the pattern.Finally, Jayson brings it home with a reminder we all need: great relationships aren't built when things feel easy; they're built through consistent repair, honest conversations, and a willingness to grow. Just like the gym, you don't work on your relationship only when it's broken. You train it for the long game.If you want to build a business you're proud of and a relationship that actually fuels your life instead of draining it, this episode is a must-listen. What does Happy Hustlin mean to you?Jayson says it means I'm working hard, it's not coming at the expense of my marriage or my kids or my own health and well-being.

We talked honestly about why men turn to Google instead of their mates, the fear of vulnerability and the lack of emotional language many men carry.

Unbothered, Unmasked, and Still Showing Up: Why Neurodivergent People Do the Hard Things for Others Patricia Young (she/her) explores what it means to show up for others as an AuDHDer. She reflects on value-driven behavior, executive functioning challenges, internalized ableism, grief, rest, and the deep relief of living an "unbothered life." Through personal stories about partnership, support, sensory overwhelm, initiation struggles, and authentic connection, this episode invites listeners to rethink productivity, compassion, and what real belonging looks like when we stop masking and start honoring our nervous systems. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Why neurodivergent people often do hard things for others but struggle to do the same things for themselves · The difference between preference vs. values (and why values often override sensory limits) · A real-life example of showing up for an important ritual despite overwhelm · How gratitude and being seen can make difficult experiences feel meaningful · The "Soup Jean" metaphor: values-based caregiving and automatic compassion · Why some people are confused by generosity—and how that reflects differing value systems · Letting go of mental noise and choosing an unbothered life · OCD, intrusive thoughts, and giving your brain limited airtime instead of full control · "Not my circus, not my monkeys" as a neurodivergent boundary tool · Executive functioning struggles with task initiation (especially for autistic & ADHD adults) · How supportive partners can initiate without infantilizing · Internalized ableism and the fear of "What if I have to do this alone someday?" · The myth that trying harder fixes ADHD and autistic challenges · Compassion for inconsistent energy, productivity, and capacity · Capitalism, productivity culture, and why rest feels morally loaded · Why systems (homes for objects) matter more than willpower · Everyday executive functioning examples (milk, groceries, unfinished tasks) · When to step in to support vs. letting natural consequences happen · Communicating needs during grief without over-explaining or masking · Redefining intimacy: showing up tired, quiet, grumpy, or grieving—and still belonging SOUND BITES · "There are things I struggle to do for myself that I would do without hesitation for people I love—because that's my value system." · "I don't want things taking up space in my head that don't belong to me anymore." · "Just because I can do something one day doesn't mean I can do it the next—and that's not a moral failure." · "Rest isn't laziness. It's information." · "You can't screw up being you." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

When federal agents kill civilians and public outrage sweeps the nation, who gets to define justified force and who gets to hold power accountable? The killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have sparked protests, national shutdowns, and fresh debate about what security should look like in America. Elizabeth Neumann, former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the US Department of Homeland Security, joins Mark Labberton for a wide-ranging conversation about fear-based governance, moral responsibility, constitutional guardrails, and what faithful leadership looks like in a moment of political crisis. "Cruelty is a deterrent." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Neumann reflects on how Christian faith and public service shaped her national security career and why recent forceful immigration enforcement and lethal encounters challenge constitutional limits and moral clarity. Together they discuss the moral and political meaning of the Minneapolis killings, trauma and vocation, immigration enforcement and democratic consent, fear-driven leadership, and how citizens and faith communities respond when institutions break down. Episode Highlights "Cruelty is a deterrent." "I realized how much my hope and trust had been in man." "We wrapped the flag around the cross." "We see sufficiently, but not transparently." "This is not normal, and this is not okay." About Elizabeth Neumann Elizabeth Neumann is a national security expert and former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the US Department of Homeland Security. She served across three presidential administrations, including senior roles during the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, and worked extensively on counterterrorism, prevention of political violence, and domestic extremism. A frequent public commentator and congressional witness, Neumann has become a leading voice on the moral and constitutional dangers of fear-driven governance. Her work bridges public policy, trauma studies, and Christian ethics, particularly where political power collides with faith commitments. She is the author of Kingdom of Rage, a deeply personal and analytical account of extremism, nationalism, and the cost of unexamined allegiance.

Early fascination with politics and government service University of Texas, late 1990s political climate George W. Bush campaigns as formative training ground Entry into White House work through campaign victory Faith-based initiatives before September 11 reshaped national priorities September 11 as lived experience, not abstraction Crossing the 14th Street Bridge as the attacks unfolded "We were under attack," and nothing felt safe Fog, confusion, smoke, radios, and unanswered phone calls Trauma before resilience, fear before context Learning endurance from older colleagues who said, "We will get through this." Trauma as vocational fuel Hypervigilance, workaholism, and mission-driven identity National security as moral calling rather than career ambition Warning from a CIA colleague: rebuild a cadence of normal life Vigilance versus fear-driven overwork Marriage, family, and a season of spiritual deepening Scripture as disruption: Jeremiah 17 and misplaced trust "I realized how much my hope and trust had been in man." Public policy confidence challenged as spiritual idolatry Russell Moore sermon and the shock of naming Christian nationalism "We wrapped the flag around the cross." Cultural Christianity exposed as formation, not gospel Deconstructing politics without deconstructing faith Becoming comfortable with ambiguity and moral gray Labberton on seeing "through a glass darkly" Interpretive humility versus certainty culture Returning to government during the Trump administration Saying yes out of mission, not agreement Guardrails inside government: translating impulse into lawful action Illegal orders, pressure, and survival mode governance Lafayette Square as turning point Peaceful protesters met with militarized force Optics over constitution Immigration enforcement reframed as cruelty-based deterrence "Cruelty is a deterrent."

Versori's partnership with Fluent Commerce and Acumatica's 2025 R2 update further signal growing emphasis on ecosystem connectivity and incremental platform modernization. At the same time, the darker counterpoint is impossible to ignore: Zimmer Biomet's $172M ERP lawsuit against Deloitte, a major European city council's continued delays in fixing a failed Oracle system, and the EU Commission's investigation into SAP's practices reinforce how execution risk, vendor governance, and regulatory scrutiny are now front-and-center issues for enterprise buyers. Taken together, these developments reflect a market bifurcating between rapid AI-driven experimentation and escalating consequences for large-scale ERP missteps—raising the strategic stakes for both technology selection and transformation leadership.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors.

At Crosswalk, we talk often about our End Statements – five descriptions of the kind of people we are becoming together. They remind us that we are growing into a community where everyone belongs, where people learn to walk with God in honest and authentic ways, where the ways of Jesus matter in our everyday world, where we live beyond ourselves by caring for the vulnerable, and where leadership always looks like service. These statements aren't rules or requirements; they're the heartbeat of our community, shaping everything from our teaching to the way we treat one another. We begin our journey in Genesis. The word itself means beginning, and Genesis invites us into the first movements of God's love, how humanity was created with intention, with dignity, with purpose, and with relationship at the center. These early stories show us who God is, who we are, and what it means to be human in God's world. They also show the first cracks of fear, shame, and hiding, experiences we all know too well. And yet, from the very beginning, God's response to human failure is movement toward relationship, not away from it. This is the heart of Lovewell. It isn't a slogan to print on mugs or a hashtag to stick on a post. It's a way of living that takes its cues from the God who blesses before we perform, who seeks us out when we hide, who covers our shame, and who continues to call us into partnership and purpose. As we walk through Genesis we're learning that the God who spoke worlds into existence still speaks love into our chaos, order into our confusion, and hope into our despair.
Mistakes happen in medicine—even when intentions are good. Sanila is joined by fellow MS4, Abby Hamilton, and Dr. Julie Thomas, a practicing rheumatologist and ethics educator, to unpack what "first, do no harm" really means in real-world clinical care. They explore the emotional weight of medical mistakes, the fear and silence that often follow unintended harm, and how clinicians can move forward with accountability, humility, and compassion. The conversation reframes imperfection not as failure, but as an opportunity to repair trust, strengthen patient relationships, and grow into more thoughtful, ethical physicians.
I am so happy to welcome Dr. Ellen Braaten back for her third time on the show! In case you missed those episodes and/or need a refresher, Dr. Ellen Braaten is the founding director of the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School. She is a prolific researcher and author whose work focuses on ADHD, learning disorders, child psychopathology, processing speed, intelligence, and children's motivation, including bestselling books for parents and professionals. Deeply committed to public education, she frequently speaks on child mental health topics and contributes to both local and national media. In our conversation, we talk about why unmotivated kids rarely fit neatly into a single category, with Dr. Braaten explaining that children may struggle with motivation for a variety of reasons, such as cognitive overload, emotional fatigue, repeated failure, or even a lack of clear identity. She also explains why framing these challenges as brain-based skills, rather than personal failings, can help change the way parents and clinicians respond. We also discuss the narrowing of opportunities in schools today, why kids need space to discover their own strengths beyond academics and athletics, and how uncomfortable emotions such as shame, anxiety, or regret can silently block motivation. Dr. Braaten's workbook is designed not just for children but for the adults supporting them, and she shares how parents, teachers, and therapists can use its activities to spark meaningful conversations, assess where a child gets stuck, and offer guidance without shame. It's about collaboration, not enforcement, and about helping kids take ownership of their growth while navigating setbacks safely. This episode of the show will surely resonate with anyone supporting tweens and teens, whether you're a parent, educator, or clinician, and offers strategies to help young people (and even adults) rediscover what matters to them, reclaim their motivation, and move forward with confidence!

Dr. Read Montague, PhD, is a professor and director of the Center for Human Neuroscience Research at Virginia Tech and an expert in how dopamine and serotonin shape human learning, motivation and decision-making. We discuss how they impact focused effort in the context of short- and long-term goals of all kinds. Also, how SSRIs and low-effort, high-engagement activities reduce the rewarding properties of dopamine, and how AI algorithms are revolutionizing understanding of the brain.
