Cada 10 de junio, Cartagena se une a la celebración global del World Art Nouveau Day, una fecha que conmemora a arquitectos como Antoni Gaudí y Ödön Lechner, y que este año pone el foco en el papel de las mujeres del modernismo. Cartagena, considerada la segunda ciudad de la península con mayor patrimonio de este estilo, vivió una "época de plata" gracias a la prosperidad minera, lo que permitió reconstruir una ciudad devastada tras la guerra cantonal con edificios majestuosos como el Ayuntamiento, el Gran Hotel y la Casa Cervantes. A pesar de contar con un eje modernista espectacular que recorre desde la calle Mayor hasta la calle del Carmen, la Asociación Modernista advierte que se ha perdido cerca del 90% de los interiores originales, quedando en muchos casos solo la "cáscara" de las fachadas. Por ello, instan a las instituciones a proteger tesoros en riesgo como Villa Calamari y a fomentar este patrimonio como una industria cultural y turística clave para la Región de Murcia. Como parte de sus actividades para mantener viva esta historia, la asociación prepara eventos inminentes como los baños de época en Archena y San Pedro del Pinatar.

Miguel Ángel González Suárez te presenta el Informativo de Primera Hora en 'El Remate', el programa matinal de La Diez Capital Radio que arranca tu día con: Las noticias más relevantes de Canarias, España y el mundo, analizadas con rigor y claridad. Hoy hace dos años: Canarias, tercera comunidad donde más antidepresivos se consumen. Crece el 30,4% el uso de estos fármacos para aliviar los síntomas de depresión, ansiedad y trastornos de salud mental entre 2016 y 2021; el 32,6% en la provincia oriental por el 27,2% en la tinerfeña. Hoy hace un año: El juez procesa al fiscal general del Estado por un presunto delito de revelación de secretos contra la pareja de Ayuso. Hoy se cumplen 1.573 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 4 años y 105 días y …40 días de Guerra en Oriente Próximo y 63 días de Alto el fuego aunque hoy se han atacado. Hoy es miércoles 10 de junio de 2026. Día Mundial del Modernismo. El 10 de junio se celebra el Día Mundial del Modernismo, para divulgar el legado patrimonial modernista presente en las urbes del mundo, así como rendir homenaje a los máximos exponentes de esta corriente de renovación artística, arquitectónica y literaria desarrollada a finales del siglo XIX. Desde el año 2013 se celebra el Día Mundial del Modernismo, por iniciativa de Hungría. La selección de la fecha obedece a la conmemoración del fallecimiento de dos máximos exponentes de esta corriente artística, tal día como hoy: el catalán Antonio Gaudí (10 de junio de 1926) y el húngaro Odön Lechner (10 de junio de 1914). 1926: Un tranvía atropella en Barcelona al arquitecto Antoni Gaudí, creador de la Sagrada Familia. 1935: se funda la asociación Alcohólicos Anónimos. Años más tarde, el 10 de junio de 1967 finaliza la Guerra de Seis Días, entre Israel y Siria que acuerdan el alto el fuego mediado por la ONU para acabar seis días de lucha israelí contra Egipto, Jordania y las fuerzas sirias. 1990: en Perú Alberto Fujimori derrota al escritor Mario Vargas Llosa en la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales.

León XIV se estrena en Barcelona en catalán: "Que nada destruya la unidad en la que Dios nos ha constituido" El vuelo de León XIV a Barcelona: en la cabina de mando con los pilotos y con escolta de honor. Y el encuentro más esperado se produjo: el papa León XIV recibió a Bad Bunny en una audiencia privada en Madrid. El juicio a David Sánchez por su contratación en Badajoz queda visto para sentencia: "Nos han condenado socialmente" Preservativos gratis para los jóvenes ante el alza de infecciones de transmisión sexual. El Ministerio de Sanidad prevé que las farmacias den la protección a quienes tengan entre 16 y 22 años a partir de 2027. Comprar una casa en Canarias ya exige más de 10 años de sueldo íntegro: el dato que refleja la situación límite Un estudio de InfoJobs y Fotocasa revela que el precio de la vivienda se dispara un 21,3% en las Islas, situando a Santa Cruz de Tenerife como la quinta provincia más cara. Canarias avisa al Estado: el modelo vasco de gestión de aeropuertos "es un punto de partida, no un techo" El consejero Pablo Rodríguez reivindica decidir sobre inversiones, tasas y planificación en infraestructuras clave para la movilidad y la economía del Archipiélago. El 10 de junio de 1966 se publica el single de The Beatles llamado “Rain” en el Reino Unido. Es una canción escrita por John Lennon y acreditada al dúo compositor Lennon-McCartney. Fue publicada por primera vez en junio de 1966 como lado B del sencillo “Paperback Writer”. Ambas canciones fueron grabadas durante las sesiones de Revolver, pero ninguna aparece en el álbum.

Nagy-Ádám Györgyivel egy olyan témát veszünk elő, ami mindenkit érint, mégis kevesen foglalkoznak vele tudatosan. Találkozásunk apropója a Design Bazár, amely néhány nap múlva nyitja meg kapuit Kőbányán, a Lechner Ödön Rendezvényközpontban. Egy háromnapos esemény, ahol nem pusztán bútorokat és tárgyakat látunk, hanem egy gondolkodásmódot is, amely arról szól, hogyan alakítjuk ki azt a környezetet, ahol élünk. A design korántsem arról szól, hogy mi mutat jól egy fotón, hanem arról, hogy egy tér miként működik a mindennapokban. Györgyi pontosan erről beszél: egy jól berendezett környezet nem önmagáért van, hanem azért, hogy visszaadjon valamit abból az időből, amit ott töltünk. Szóba kerül az is, hogyan változnak a trendek. Egyre inkább előtérbe kerülnek a természetes anyagok, az organikus formák, és az a szemlélet, amely nem külön kezeli a belső és a külső tereket. A terasz, a kert vagy akár egy kültéri konyha ma már ugyanúgy része az életnek, mint a nappali. A műsorban előkerül a mesterséges intelligencia kérdése is. Györgyi világosan fogalmaz: eszközként lehet használni, de egy élettér kialakításához ennél több kell. Ismerni kell azt, aki ott él, érteni kell a szokásait, a ritmusát, és ebből lehet felépíteni egy működő rendszert. Kiderül az is, miért fontos a minőség kérdése. Egy jól megválasztott bútor nem egy szezonra szól, hanem évekre. Ez a gondolkodás hosszabb távon nemcsak esztétikai, hanem praktikus döntés is. A Design Bazár lehetőség arra, hogy az ember kérdezzen, inspirálódjon, és adott esetben újragondolja a saját környezetét. A Sláger FM-en minden este 22 órakor a kultúráé a főszerep S.

You've written your book, finished the edits, and published. But now what? Too many authors assume the hard part is over once the book is available. Without a clear launch strategy, they end up with a product but no plan. No reviews, no visibility, no path for turning readers into clients or opportunities. The result? A book that quietly disappears instead of building momentum. That's why I help authors build intentional launch strategies that lead to 50+ Amazon reviews and create a pipeline between their book and their business. With a well-organized launch team, personalized outreach, and events that spark conversations, your book can do more than sell; it can open doors. If you're ready to stop guessing and start launching with clarity, let's talk. Schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let me introduce today's panel… Rachel Radway wrote “Perceptive: Insights for leaders who feel more, process deeply, and think differently,” a thoughtful and empowering guide for leaders who identify as highly sensitive, intuitive, or neurodivergent. Through personal stories, practical insights, and compassionate guidance, she helps readers embrace their perceptiveness as a strength and lead with clarity, empathy, and authenticity. Sophie Lechner wrote “Unlock Your Impact: The Roadmap to Magnetic Client Attraction for Entrepreneurs Who Hate Marketing,” a refreshing guide for mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to attract clients naturally—by leading with purpose instead of self-promotion—and transform marketing from a dreaded task into a joyful extension of their impact. Please join me in welcoming Rachel and Sophie.  In this episode, we discuss the following:

Sophie is a connector and idea factory who believes AI is making marketing harder, not easier, because everyone sounds the same now, and people are more skeptical than ever.They explore:Why AI is making it harder to stand out How to use prompts that take you through your entire life story to pull out what makes you uniquely youWhy marketing stops feeling like marketing when you approach it with the same love and generosity you bring to client workThis is a conversation about human-to-human connection in the age of AI. Sophie shares how she uses AI as a thinking partner (not just a shortcut) and helps entrepreneurs dig into their clients' deeper beliefs that keep them from saying yes. When your marketing connects your humanity to your client's humanity, it stops being marketing. It becomes client work.Connect with Sophie:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sophielechner/Website: TheMagnetModel.comGet her book: Unlock Your Impact: The Roadmap to Magnetic Client Attraction for Entrepreneurs Who Hate Marketing: https://www.themagnetmodel.com/book________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

Freiheit wirkt stark, kippt aber oft in Abhängigkeit und Leere. Jesus schenkt eine tiefere Freiheit: von Sünde befreit, getragen als Kind Gottes – auch wenn das Leben schwer wird.

In Episode 194 of the A is for Architecture Podcast, architect and writer and Andreas Lechner, Associate Professor of Design and Building Theory at TU Graz in Austria and founder of Studio Andreas Lechner, also based in Graz. We connected off the back of my previous conversation with Hans van der Heijden – with whom he had spoken on Drawing Matters last summer.Specifically, Andreas and I spoke about his book, Thinking Design: Blueprint for an Architecture of Typology (Park Books 2021), a book which combines theoretical reflection on architectural teaching with an illustrated visual atlas of 144 projects – all drawn orthographically and with no photographs – which serves as invitation to explore architectural design through the lens of typology – somewhat maligned in an age of humanised fun, grandiosity, pomp and intellectual frilliness - arguing as I read it for something a bit more normal - the primacy of form as the core of the discipline.Andreas's practice can be found here, and he is on LinkedIn and Instagram. His conversation with the super Hans on Drawing Matters is here. The book is linked above. +Music credits: ⁠Bruno Gillick Image credits: 1: © Andreas Lechner, 2: © Andreas Lechner, Park Books, 3 © TU Graz. #ArchitecturalTypology #ThinkingDesign #ArchitecturePodcast #BuildingTypology #AndreasLechner

Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen sind die häufigste Todesursache – und trotzdem wissen viele Menschen erstaunlich wenig darüber, was ihr Herz wirklich schützt. In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Dr. med. Katharina Lechner über die wichtigsten Grundlagen, moderne Diagnostik, Ernährung, Lebensstilfaktoren und typische Mythen rund um Cholesterin, Blutdruck & Co. Du erfährst, ab wann Herzrisiken wirklich beginnen, welche Werte du kennen solltest – und welche kleinen Veränderungen im Alltag einen großen Unterschied machen können.

How many times have you said, "We had such a great interview," only to be thinking 60 days later, "How did we get this so wrong?" Staffing is still the #1 issue in practices, but what if the sustainable fix isn't another job post? What if it's understanding who you're hiring (before you hire them) and knowing how to develop them once they're on your team? In this episode of Power Hour, Eugene Shatsman sits down with Kati Lechner, Senior Director of Learning at Wonderlic, who has spent 20 years in the science of selecting and developing great talent derived from evidence-based hiring. And by the way, PowerPractice has established a partnership with Wonderlic to provide eye care practices with direct access to these assessment tools. If you're interested in exploring how Wonderlic Select or Develop could support your hiring or team development strategy, you can reach out to PowerPractice and reference this episode to learn more about available options and next steps at https://powerpractice.com/hire-smarter/ 

Wir, Rebekka und Irene, waren vergangenen November wieder unterwegs: nämlich bei den Europäischen Literaturtagen in Krems an der Donau. Das Jahresthema war eine Frage, die größer kaum sein könnte: Was ist echt? In dieser Episode nehmen wir euch mitten hinein ins Festivalgeschehen, das ihr auch in den daily blogs, die wir geschrieben haben verfolgen könnt (den Link findet ihr in den Shownotes). In dieser Folge hört ihr drei Gespräche, die wir bei zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Veranstaltungen geführt haben: Das Thema der ersten Veranstaltung lautete „Queer, fluid, posthuman“: darüber haben wir mit Elisabeth Klar und Kes Otter Lieffe gesprochen. Danach wird es nerdig, politisch und sehr gegenwärtig – im Gespräch mit Simoné Goldtschmidt-Lechner zum Thema „Nerds, nicht-weiß, nicht-männlich“. Also: Kopfhörer auf – und rein in drei Perspektiven auf die Frage, was heute eigentlich echt ist.

In dieser Folge von „Die Versicherungsbranche in 2030 Tagen“ spricht MarKo Petersohn mit Dr. Philipp Lechner, Vorstand der BGV Badische Versicherungen, über die Frage, wie sich die Branche in den kommenden Jahren konkret verändern wird – und warum es dabei weniger um einzelne Trends als um das Zusammenspiel mehrerer Entwicklungen geht. Lechner zeichnet das Bild einer Branche, die digitaler, schneller und individueller wird, gleichzeitig aber weiterhin stark vom persönlichen Vertrauen geprägt bleibt.

Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt hat konkrete Vorstellungen davon, wie die Befugnisse der deutschen Nachrichtendienste erweitert werden müssten.Konkret will er, dass deutsche Dienste bei Cyberangriffen zurückschlagen und gegnerische Operationen aktiv stören können. Im Gespräch mit Michael Bröcker zieht Dobrindt eine selbstbewusste Bilanz seiner Migrationspolitik. Noch in diesem Jahr wird es nach seiner Einschätzung erste Vereinbarungen mit Drittstaaten außerhalb der EU geben, in denen „Return Hubs“ für abgeschobene Flüchtlinge entstehen können.[14:43]CDU und SPD haben sich auf einen informellen Nicht-Angriffs-Pakt für das Wahljahr verständigt. Kanzler Friedrich Merz bat im CDU-Präsidium eindringlich darum, alle Debatten zu unterlassen, die die anstehenden Landtagswahlen in Baden-Württemberg (8. März) und Rheinland-Pfalz (22. März) gefährden könnten. [01:34]Überraschend hat sich Angela Merkel für den CDU-Bundesparteitag kommende Woche in Stuttgart angekündigt. Die Altkanzlerin hatte nach dem Ende ihrer Amtszeit eigentlich auf Parteiveranstaltungen verzichten wollen - und hat das bisher auch so gehandhabt.[07:44]CDU-Landeschef Sebastian Lechner aus Niedersachsen plädiert für ein durchdachtes Einkommensteuerkonzept seiner Partei, das die arbeitende Mitte spürbar entlastet. „Was wir brauchen, ist eine umfassende Entlastung. Das muss Haupt- und Zielrichtung sein", sagt Lechner. Niedrigere Steuern und Sozialabgaben seien der Schlüssel, um Mehrarbeit attraktiver zu machen und den Konsum wieder anzukurbeln.[09:13]Hier geht es zur Anmeldung für den Space.TableTable Briefings - For better informed decisions.Sie entscheiden besser, weil Sie besser informiert sind – das ist das Ziel von Table.Briefings.

Are plans useless? This was the question that this week's guest set out to determine based on a lot of feedback he had been receiving. What he found was, Dwight Eisenhower had it right. Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.   Hello everyone and welcome to episode 221 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!   This week we are joined by Patrick Lechner, founder of Resimate, a resilience SAAS solution. Patrick explains that plans don't save us; clarity does. He says that coordination is the thing that breaks first during a disruption. And that we must develop our capabilities, to understand what's important and to build clarity. And Patrick doesn't just provide theory, he also offers practical advice for how to make this happen.   ===============================================================   Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey!  We sure do appreciate it!

In this episode, we continue our discussion of scientism. We talk about 6 problems with scientism that have been raised by Susan Haack, if we should feel bad about having some sympathy for scientism, and whether the contributions of all scientifici disciplines deserved the label of 'knowledge'.

In this two-part episode, we delve into the topic of scientism. Is science the best way to generate knowledge? Or are we giving too much deference to science if we believe this? In this first part, we discuss what scientism is, what - if anything - is wrong with scientism, and whether it is bad to be a scien-ti-sim-ist?   References:   Haack, S. (2012).

Hill-Murray Boy's Head Coach Bill Lechner sits down with Tony Scott for a true 10 minute interview on Hill Murray's vision for the 2025-2026 season

What doors could open if you launched your book with a strategy, not just a release date? Today's panelists are two entrepreneurs who didn't just publish a book—they launched it with intention. Each followed my launch strategies to build a launch team filled with likely prospects and referral partners, host a high-impact launch event, and turn their book into a business asset.  The results speak for themselves: each author received between 71 and 77 Amazon reviews. Nearly every reader left not just a star rating but a written review. This level of engagement sets a book up for long-term discoverability and gives the author more credibility. If you're wondering what your book could do for your brand—let's talk. Schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. It's my pleasure to introduce you to two of my clients. In this conversation, they'll share what worked, what surprised them, and how following my launch strategy opened doors in their business. Sophie Lechner wrote “Unlock Your Impact: The Roadmap to Magnetic Client Attraction for Entrepreneurs Who Hate Marketing,” a refreshing guide for mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to attract clients naturally—by leading with purpose instead of self-promotion—and transform marketing from a dreaded task into a joyful extension of their impact. Stacey Larsen wrote “Reframing The Leadership Dance: The Secret to Finding Your Rhythm as a People Leader,” exploring innovative leadership approaches. It emphasizes the importance of adaptability and self-discovery in fostering effective leadership practices and navigating complex organizational landscapes. Please join me in welcoming Sophie and Stacey. In this episode, we discuss the following:

Sport statt Netflix. Das Handy liegen lassen und konzentriert ein Buch lesen. Für die Klausur lernen und sich nicht ablenken lassen. Wie schön wäre es, das zu können! Die Psychologie weiß schon lange, dass Menschen mit Selbstkontrolle und Willenskraft ein besseres Leben führen. Nur wie wird man so? Kann man das trainieren? Und wenn ja, worauf kommt es an?

Danny and Derek welcome journalist and author John Lechner to discuss his book, Death is Our Business: Russian Mercenaries in the New Era of Warfare. The conversation cuts through the mainstream narrative of the Wagner Group to explore the true history of Yevgeny Prigozhin, from his start as a product of post-Soviet "gangster capitalism" in 1990s St. Petersburg to his ascent as Vladimir Putin's de facto military entrepreneur. They analyze how Prigozhin leveraged the Russian state's grand ambitions with limited resources to create a self-funding war machine in Syria and across Africa, ultimately turning his own military success in Bakhmut into a fatal political challenge to the decadent Moscow bureaucracy—a challenge that ended with a suspiciously accidental plane crash.

In this episode, Audrey sits down with registered dietitian and founder of Nourished by Taylor, Taylor Lechner, to talk about what really happens when you've been on birth control for 10+ years and decide you're done. They get into why so many women lose their period, come off the pill, and suddenly have acne, anxiety, mood swings, gut issues, or no ovulation — and why it's not just “your hormones being crazy.” Taylor breaks down post–birth control syndrome, the labs she runs (HTMA, gut, minerals, thyroid), how copper and mineral depletion play into PMS and anxiety, and why testing > guessing. If you're thinking about coming off the pill/implant/IUD — whether or not you want to get pregnant — this is the one to listen to.Connect with Taylor:Taylor has a free gift for you all!!! :  Breakup with Birth Control MasterclassIG: nourishedbytayWebsite: https://nourished-by-taylor.com/Taylor Lechner, MFN, RD, LD, is a Registered Dietitian and founder of Nourished by Taylor.

Technology promised us progress, and it delivered. But it also left us disconnected, distracted, and disheartened at the same time. With AI advancing faster than human adaptation or regulation, will it erode our humanity, or can it become the very tool that helps us flourish?In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari sits down with Tamara Lechner to explore how AI can bridge the gap between what we know and what we practice in the pursuit of human flourishing.Tamara Lechner is a happiness expert, author, and global speaker. As Chair of the AI & Human Flourishing Working Group at Harvard, she helps leaders and organizations apply the science of flourishing to create meaningful, human-centered futures.In the conversation, Ashish and Tamara unpack how AI can either harm or uplift us, and what it will take for leaders, organizations, and individuals to put humans at the heart of this powerful technology.Things you will learn in this episode:• Why AI is both friend and foe depending on how we use it.• The three ethical AI pillars: productivity, protection from harm, and fairness.• The overlooked dimensions of flourishing AI must support• Why organizations—not just individuals—must own responsibility for burnout and culture.• How to shift from audience to activist in shaping the future of technologyJoin us in building a future where technology enhances humanity rather than diminishes it.

Lara Marmsoler spricht in dieser Folge von Ganz Offen Gesagt mit Elisabeth Lechner, Kulturwissenschaftlerin am Anglistik-Institut der Universität Wien darüber, wer als schön gilt, welche politischen Implikationen eine Schönheitsnorm mit sich bringt und wie sich das auf die gesellschaftliche Teilhabe auswirkt. Lechner erklärt, dass jene, die von der Schönheitsnorm abweichen, als eklig bezeichnet werden und dass die Scham, die sie empfinden, als Strategie der Schönheitsindustrie für das Verkaufen von Produkten genutzt wird. Außerdem kann das Gefühl, ungenügend zu sein, zu einem Rückzug aus dem sozialen Leben führen. Außerdem erklärt sie, dass sich in bestimmten politischen Milieus häufig ein bestimmtes Schönheitsideal durchsetzt, das als Ausdruck der politischen Ideologie begriffen werden kann. Hier kommt ihr zu Jessica DeFinos "Ask Ugly" Kolumne in der britischen Zeitung "The Guardian".Hier kommt ihr zu einer Reportage über einen Selbst-Versuch bei Skinny Tok.Hier findet ihr eine genauere Analyse des Mar-a-Lago face.

You didn't pour your time, energy, and insight into a book just to say you did it. You wrote it because your message matters—and because you knew that getting it into the hands of others could spark something bigger. A book has staying power. It captures what you stand for and how you think, in your own words. Done well, it becomes more than a tool—it becomes a turning point. It can shift how people see you, what opportunities come your way, and the kind of legacy you leave behind. That's why I focus on what happens after the writing is done. Publishing your book is a milestone—but the real magic happens when you start using it to fuel your mission, grow your platform, and create lasting impact. If you're ready to think beyond publication day and explore how your book can support the future you're building, schedule a complimentary 30-minute Book Launch Brainstorm Session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, I'm excited to introduce our panelists—authors who are using their books to open doors and grow their influence. Bruce Scheer wrote “Inspire Your Buyers: Go to Market with a Story That Sizzles,” to show you how to craft a clear, compelling narrative that gets everyone—from your team to your target buyers—on the same page and fired up to take action, so you can close more deals and grow faster. Diane Wolf wrote “14 Nights to Better Sleep: A Proven Plan to Recharge, Refresh, and Reclaim Your Nights,” a science-backed, practical guide that helps you reset your sleep habits in just two weeks—so you can quiet your mind, reclaim your energy, and finally get the rest your body and brain deserve. Sophie Lechner wrote “Unlock Your Impact: The Roadmap to Magnetic Client Attraction for Entrepreneurs Who Hate Marketing,” a refreshing guide for mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to attract clients naturally—by leading with purpose instead of self-promotion—and transform marketing from a dreaded task into a joyful extension of their impact. Please join me in welcoming Bruce, Diane, and Sophie.  In this episode, we discuss the following:

When you're writing, it's easy to get stuck chasing perfection. But here's the truth: the first draft is just the beginning—the real transformation happens in revision. Giving yourself permission to be imperfect is what makes progress possible. The messy middle, the rewrites, the second-guessing—that's where the book (and the author) truly take shape. I'm living this right now as I wrap up edits on my fourth book, “LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur's Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue,” set to launch in July 2025. Want a behind-the-scenes look at how I turn a book into a business asset? Join my book launch team at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Today, we'll hear from authors about their journey from blank page to published book. Bridgett McGowen-Hawkins co-wrote “Do Not Write a Book...Until You Read This One: The Only Guide You Need to Pen, Publish, and Profit from Your Nonfiction Book,”  a no-nonsense, empowering guide that helps aspiring nonfiction authors navigate the publishing process with confidence.  Robert Aguilar wrote “Forget What You Know About Strategy: The Hazards of Strategic Planning,” a powerful guide for senior leaders seeking to master strategy formulation and execution, offering real-world insights to avoid pitfalls and drive transformative change in today's fast-paced business landscape. Sophie Lechner wrote “Unlock Your Impact: The Roadmap to Magnetic Client Attraction for Entrepreneurs Who Hate Marketing,” a refreshing guide for mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to attract clients naturally—by leading with purpose instead of self-promotion—and transform marketing from a dreaded task into a joyful extension of their impact. Please join me in welcoming Bridgett, Robert, and Sophie.  In this episode, we discuss the following:

In 2014, a well-trained, mysterious band of mercenaries arrived in Ukraine, part of Russia's first attempt to claim the country as its own. Upon ceasefire, the “Wagner Group” faded back into shadow, only to reemerge in the Middle East, where they'd go toe-to-toe with the U.S., and in Africa, where they'd earn praise for “tough measures” against insurgencies yet spark outrage for looting, torture, and civilian deaths. As Russia gained a foothold of influence abroad, Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as “Putin's Chef,” went from caterer to commander to single greatest threat Putin has faced in his over-twenty-year rule. Dually armed with military and strategic prowess, the Wagner Group created a new market in a vast geopolitical landscape increasingly receptive to the promises of private actors. In this trailblazing account of the Group's origins and operations, Death Is Our Business: Russian Mercenaries and the New Era of Private Warfare (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2025) by John Lechner-the only journalist to report across its many warzones-brings us on the ground to witness Wagner partner with fragile nation states, score access to natural resources, oust peacekeeping missions, and cash in on conflicts reframed as Kremlin interests. After rebelling, Prigozhin faced an epic demise-but Wagner lives on, its political, business, and military ventures a pillar of Russian operations the world over. Featuring exclusive interviews with over thirty Wagner Group members, Death Is Our Business is the terrifying true tale of the renegade militia that proved global instability is nothing if not an opportunity.

>Join Jocko Underground< In 1993 Lieutenant James Lechner, a member of the 3rd Ranger Battalion, was selected for a top secret special operations task force being sent to Mogadishu, Somalia, to capture the insurgent leader Mohamed Farah Aideed. In early October, after conducting a number of raids in the city, the Task Force is called upon to conduct a daring daylight mission into the heart of Aideed's territory. During the raid, one of the Black Hawk helicopters is shot down and Lechner and his comrades are soon caught up in the fiercest combat involving US forces since the Vietnam War. Deep in the enemy's stronghold, the small group of Rangers and special operators now find themselves fighting not only to rescue the downed helicopter's crewmen, but also to save their own lives.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jocko-podcast/exclusive-content
