The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts Session 11 on The Memoirs of Robert & Mabel Williams: African American Freedom, Armed Resistance, & International Solidarity. We'll pick up with Chapter 57 where Williams was caged, threatened with being force fed, and and accused of being an airplane hijacker by Whites in Britain A recap of last week's session focused on : Even in Africa, YT Is In Charge: While visiting Tanzania, Williams had trouble accessing fund from his bank account without being robbed via the exchange rate. All of his "black brothers" at the bank insisted on looting his funds. Williams insisted on speaking to The Man in charge - who, of course, was White. Everyone Thinks Black People Are Dumb: While on the African continent, a White Man pontificated on the backward nature of China. Williams interrupted to inform the Racist Suspect that he had just spent months living well in Red China. The White Man confessed to having never stepped foot in the so called country. Williams The Hijacker: While attempting to return to the US, Williams was detained and incarcerated in Britain. They accused him of being a potential terrorist and a cousin of Osama Bin Laden. Williams began his hunger strike to protest his Racist detention. The Racist wankers threatened to force feed him just like Williams was back in Cuba (Guantánamo Bay). #TheCOWS17Years #RobertAndMabelWilliams #MilitaryIntelligence #CounterRacism #RadioFreeDixie #GlobalWhiteSupremacy #NaziPOWs #StockadeDeception #RacialRealism #MonroeNC Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Revelation Episode 12: The Satanic Trinity of the Dragon, Beast and False Prophet Today I'm talking about the Beast—the Lawless One, often called “the Antichrist”—and the False Prophet, who are both spoken of in Revelation 13. We see that, just as God is a Trinity, so too will the last-days manifestation of Satan be in triune form. The Beast and the False Prophet are empowered by the Dragon, Satan, whom we spoke about in the last session as the one who tried to destroy the Woman and the Man Child (Revelation 12:3, 9). Satan cannot create anything but can only copy, and the appearance of the Beast (or Antichrist) will be a counterfeit of the ministry of Jesus, even to the three-and-a-half-year length of his “ministry” on earth. The False Prophet will be a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit and will speak for the Beast (Revelation 13:11–18). This episode will deal with the work of the Satanic Trinity in its spiritual conflict with the Kingdom of God for control of the geopolitical realm of the world. This is distinct from the spiritual conflict in the last episode, where we saw the existential struggle involving the Woman as the Church of Revelation chapter 12, how the Prince Power of Darkness had been put under our feet through Jesus as Head of the Church, and how the Church was given divine protection. We see in this episode that the Dragon, Satan, who is a counterfeit of the Father, has always worked through world powers and will do so until the end. Matthew 4:8: “The devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, ‘All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.'” Ephesians 2:2: “We once walked according to the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.” We also saw that the Dragon had seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his head. The seven heads here were seen as last-days heads of nation-states, but horns in the Bible speak of power. The ten horns therefore speak of last-days strategic corporate entities of power that influence nation-states and ultimately give rise to the Beast's rule over the earth during the three and a half years. I mentioned in the last session that we might perhaps expect to witness surprising structural and influential changes in national leadership, even over the next few years, because of the current political instability. THE BEAST The Beast comes in the image of his father, the Dragon (see also Revelation 17:3, 10–12). Revelation 13:1: “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marvelled and followed the Beast. So they worshipped the Dragon who gave authority to the Beast; and they worshipped the Beast, saying, ‘Who is like the Beast? Who is able to make war with him?'” Here we see that the Beast comes in the image of the Dragon (Revelation 12:3), except that there are ten crowns on the horns rather than seven crowns on the heads. Horns speak of power, and crowns speak of authority. This speaks of the Antichrist giving authority to the ten heads of the ten powerful nations that will rule the world kingdom at the time of the end. John describes a single “Composite Beast” because this represents the gathering of all previous imperial, tyrannical, and dominating traits of history into one final, unified global entity. John describes a Beast that is “like a leopard,” with “feet like those of a bear” and a “mouth like that of a lion.” This vision of John's is based upon a vision of the prophet Daniel, which gives us the code that unlocks the identities and characteristics of all those imperial nations and rulers of biblical history. What we will seek to decipher and explain today are the historical and ongoing prophetic lines from the Book of Daniel concerning the geopolitical struggle of the kingdom of darkness against the Kingdom of God. The following prophetic Scriptures from Daniel form very strong lines of historical and biblical continuity across the six hundred years from Daniel to when John wrote Revelation. In fact, we will draw just as strongly from Daniel in further episodes of Revelation concerning the latter parts of the three-and-a-half-year Tribulation and the return of Christ. Daniel 7:3: “And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!'” “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The Beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it” (4 = global dominion). “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth Beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.” TRADITIONAL IDENTIFICATIONS IN DANIEL 7 SYMBOL — TRADITIONAL IDENTIFICATION — CORE CHARACTERISTIC - Lion (with eagle's wings) — Babylon — Sovereignty: Represents imperial majesty and dominion (parallel to the “Gold Head” of Daniel 2). - Bear (raised on one side) — Medo-Persia — Crushing Power: Characterised by the command to “Arise, devour much flesh … and it ate three ribs,” emphasising its massive appetite for conquest. - Leopard (with four wings/heads) — Greece — Speed: Four wings—leopard's natural speed, Alexander the Great's rapid expansion, and the four successor kingdoms. A leopard is pale yellow with black spots. - Fourth Beast (iron teeth/10 horns) — Rome — Imperial Destruction: Described as “terrible and extremely strong,” using its “iron teeth” to crush and devour all opposition. These established ancient identities are not merely historical footnotes; they serve as the necessary archetypes for understanding how power is projected throughout history. Note the progression of Lion, Bear, and Leopard, because John reverses this sequence in Revelation 13:2, where we see the leopard, bear, and lion qualities of the Beast first. This is because John is looking back into history, from Rome to Babylon. But what we must remember is that John is also looking forward prophetically into history from two thousand years ago. It will be useful, amongst the bewildering range of symbolic descriptions of the “Beast Nations” of history, to remember the sequence of three recurring symbolic nations of history—the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard. These have been the prelude to a sequence of dreadful “composite beasts” throughout history and will feature significantly in the last days, when they become the ultimate ogre of the “Composite Beast” at the Second Coming of Christ to the earth. Remember the sequence: Lion, Bear, Leopard. One of the greatest counterfeits that will be perpetrated by the Beast, the Lawless One, will be a counterfeit resurrection in verse 3, which will delude many. Remember, in 2 Thessalonians 2, that God would send strong delusion for people to believe a lie. His mouth will speak great things. He will be a great leader and statesman who will sway the multitudes. He will receive power from the Dragon, Satan, to overcome those saints who endure the Tribulation. But their martyrdom will be to the glory of God. These saints are encouraged by the angel of Revelation 14:7. Daniel 7:8 speaks of one powerful, persuasive person as a horn of power who will arise at the end: “And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.” So we have strong lines of scriptural formation from Daniel to John, but in the two thousand years from John until now, we have reached beyond the time of John, when Rome was the “Composite Beast,” into the description of a much more awesome and devastating Composite Beast that Rome represented. John's final Beast here has seven heads as well as ten horns. And I have to say this—but wait, there's more. In Revelation 12:3, in the last episode, we saw John describing the Dragon, representing Satan: “Behold, a great red dragon … having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads” (diadems are jewelled headbands). So the sequence is: - Revelation 12:3—Dragon: 7 heads crowned + 10 horns - Revelation 13:1—Beast: 7 heads + 10 horns crowned - Revelation 17:3, 12—Beast: 7 heads + 10 horns; then ten kings receive authority This is not a repeated description—John changes the locations of the diadems. That fits prophetically and purposefully with the progression from Satanic authority being delegated to a Beastly political authority, and then to a final ten-kingdom coalition. Chapter 13 portrays the Beast receiving and exercising the authority previously associated with the Dragon. It is like the Father giving Jesus His authority. We will cover the progression of power when we come to those chapters later in Revelation. To this point, with John's veiled vision of what he was observing in the geopolitical power plays of his day, we have strong and true lines of scriptural continuity through which to understand the nature of the Lion, Bear, and Leopard powers of his time. If we seek to understand the prophetic imagery that he lays ahead into the future, at least up until now, we can only interpret the identities and conflicts of his visions by insight and eyesight as to the current geopolitical landscape. In other words, who are the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard today? I can't go further yet into what the grotesque, final Composite Beast vision that comes up out of the sea is, but I will in further episodes, where we see the intricate dance of crowns swapping with horns and diadems, chapter after chapter. The sea, by the way, speaks of the nations—the global ocean of humanity. So anything I say about the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard that John left us with will be by exercising eyesight, with some insights into the strategic power of current geopolitics. But I do not have a strong line of scriptural alignment as John did. He left prophecy to unfold itself within a continuous blend of the historical national traits of dominance, hegemony, cruelty, lies, and destruction. My thoughts are speculation, and I do not claim to have divine revelation about them. I will take the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard in their original order. As we are not looking back as John was, I am mapping their original history. MODERN GEOPOLITICAL ANALOGIES (FUTURIST) SYMBOL — TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL IDENTITY — MODERN GEOPOLITICAL ANALOGY - Lion — Babylon — Britain, the “Anglosphere” (USA/Europe). The Lion took eagle's wings, flew away, and landed with a human heart and the wings plucked (Daniel 7). USA becomes a Democratic Republic. Has a mouth speaking pompous things. - Bear — Medo-Persia — Russia (culturally the bear). Daniel 7: “Arise, devour much flesh … lay on one side—ate three ribs.” Recent conquests: Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine? - Leopard — Greece — Afro-Asia: the rapid spread of geopolitical/civilisational/trading significance. The Leopard is pale yellow with black markings. First colonised by Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal. Greece split into four national regions after Alexander: Egypt, Greece/Macedonia, Persia to India, and Turkey (Anatolia). THE FALSE PROPHET Revelation 13:11: “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.” The False Prophet—the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit—speaks for the Beast (Revelation 13:11–18). This person is described as a lamb, speaking of a meek and docile appearance, yet inwardly a ravenous wolf. He is seen to have two horns, speaking of the two thrusts of his power. These will be religion and commerce. In verses 15 and 16, he causes all the world to worship the image of the Antichrist, thus establishing a new world religion. He also causes everyone to receive a mark on their foreheads or right hands as a condition of being able to purchase or sell any goods or commodities. The mark is 666, speaking of satanic power over man's spirit, soul, and body. Compare the image of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 3:1. He counterfeits the great prophet Elijah by causing fire to come down from heaven onto the earth in the sight of man (verse 13). It would seem that he has power over the elements as well as over people, according to verse 12. CONCLUSION — THE FOUR GARDENS We could picture the Garden of Eden as a biological, botanical, and zoological garden, where God walked with His earthly family of Adam and Eve, giving Adam authority to name the animals. There was nothing but blessing in the earth that God had dominion over and shared with His family. We would then see a tangled garden of chaos as sin and death enter the world, ending up with the botanical, zoological, and biological garden of Daniel's time, which had beasts, conflict, destruction, and spiritual interference from angels of darkness under the headship of Satan. We then come to the continuation and progressive chaos and corruption of Daniel's time, leading to the greater malice and destruction of the garden of the time of the Apostle John. We are now, two thousand years later, inhabiting the most grotesque jungle of a garden and awaiting the return of the King of Kings in His appointed time. That will usher in the most beautiful and majestic garden on the earth, which will last for one thousand years. In this millennial Garden, the wolf will lie down with the lamb, there will be no more thorns and thistles, and the groaning of this current earthly creation will have been heard and healed from the curse of human sin. Romans 8:21: “The creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.” This earth will be ruled by the King of kings, who will be crowned with many crowns, topple all other kingdoms that stand in His way, and invite us to once again rule and reign with Him upon an entire blessed earth that far supersedes the Garden of Eden. He also has a crown laid up for us if we follow on to know the Lord.

Most law firms know AI is changing their industry. Fewer know exactly where to start, what to avoid, or how to build a technology strategy that doesn't blow up mid-implementation. Eric Thurston is Executive Chairman of SurePoint Technologies — one of the most widely used legal technology platforms in the country — and a veteran software executive with more than 20 years of experience building and scaling technology companies. He's seen thousands of law firms navigate technology change from the inside. In this episode, Eric joins Scott Love to share a clear-eyed, practical view of where the legal industry stands right now on AI and technology, and what firm leaders need to do to stay ahead of it. You'll learn: How AI has evolved from "just ask ChatGPT" to a genuine business strategy — and what that shift means for law firms right now The two sides of legal technology: practice of law vs. business of law — and why the business side is where most firms are leaving money on the table Why change management is the most underestimated part of any technology implementation The #1 mistake law firm leaders make when buying new tech tools (hint: it's not the tool itself) Why older, monolithic systems can't interact with modern AI — and what to do about it How one firm identified $70,000–$100,000 per attorney per year in recoverable revenue through process improvement alone Why attorneys aren't going away — but the nature of associate work is already changing How forward-thinking firms are rebranding, restructuring, and positioning themselves to be acquisition targets or platform buyers Why data cleanup is the most overlooked prerequisite for any AI initiative 3 action steps law firm leaders can take right now to build a technology strategy that actually works Eric also shares details on SurePoint's annual Ignite Conference — September 14–16 in Savannah, Georgia — and the firm's suite of practice management, business development, and legal intelligence solutions.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little star” might not seem like an especially romantic song. Apparently, though, it works for male leopard seals. During the mating season, East Antarctic leopard seals sing underwater for hours on end. The songs resemble the structure of children's nursery rhymes. Leopard seals are named for the leopard-like spots on their coats. An adult male weighs about 700 pounds. Much of a seal's diet consists of organisms known as krill. But they also eat penguins, fish, squid, and even the pups of other seal species. The seals mate during the southern-hemisphere spring and summer. But the animals are widely spread, so finding a partner isn't easy. And that's where the songs come in. The songs are made of five patterns—like five musical notes. Every seal puts those notes together in his own way. So every male seal has a unique tune. During mating season, they belt out that tune for up to 13 hours a day. They sing for several minutes, pop to the surface for a breath, then head down for another verse. Scientists in Australia have been listening to seals in Antarctica since the 1990s. In a recent study, they compared the structure of the songs to several types of human music. The best match was to children's songs based on nursery rhymes. They're simple, repetitive, and easy to remember. Under water, the tunes can carry a long way. So a seal may attract a distant mate by constantly crooning his own lullaby. The post Seal Singers appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

Our First guest John Kirk is an experienced sheep and cattle farmer in the Cairngorms. His recent sighting of a black panther in the area prompted many more local reports on Facebook and to him direct. John also heard a description of a black panther fleeing the Cairngorms wildfires a week before this recording. John recounts his two other sightings of large cats in the area in the past. He explains his concerns on lynx reintroduction ideas, after attending a field trip on lynx issues in Switzerland.John also gives a farmer's perspective on topical wildlife issues in his part of Scotland, from wildcats to sea eagles.Our second guest Megan has had two sightings of a large black panther in the south Wales valley where she lives. The first event was so close that it greatly influenced her, and she realises it was a leopard. Her interests have stirred the curiosity of her son Caleb and they often think about big cats on their walks in the area. Megan also explains how she judges the sheep carcasses she's photographed that appear to be the result of big cat kills.   Word of the week:   hudoliaeth 26 August 2026

Brad's boy Barrett got a leopard gecko for his birthday! They are really cool little lizards!

Wild animals carry a raw, simultaneous presence of beauty and danger that is difficult to fully articulate, which is exactly what makes the picture in Isaiah 11 so stunning. A wolf living with a lamb. A leopard resting beside a goat. A little child leading them all. These pairings shatter every assumption we hold about the natural order of things. They are describing something that has never existed in a fallen world. A day is coming when the knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea, and in that day, radical and complete peace will come to all of creation. No more fear, no more power struggle, no more tooth and claw. The everlasting reign of Jesus will bring the peace that every corner of creation has been groaning for. For now, we live in the in-between. We catch glimpses of that coming reality in our friendships with animals, in moments of unexpected beauty in the natural world, and in the steady trust that what is broken is not forever. All shall be well. Today's Bible Verse "They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."— Isaiah 11:9, NIV Ponder Today The stunning pairings in Isaiah 11 are meant to shatter our assumptions. Wolf with lamb. Leopard with goat. Child leading them all. God is describing something so far outside our current experience that it can only arrive with the fullness of His knowledge filling the earth. We live in the in-between of here but not yet. The promise of Isaiah 11 is future, but we are not without glimpses of it now — in the animals we love, in moments of beauty in nature, and in every act of peace and care we extend to the world around us. The current brokenness of creation is not its final state. Romans 8 tells us that creation itself groans, waiting for redemption. That groan is not hopeless — it is the groan of something that knows restoration is coming. Waiting faithfully means making the most of opportunities to promote peace right now. We cannot bring Isaiah 11 into full reality, but we can be agents of the peace it describes in the lives and world around us while we wait for the One who will. A Prayer for You Today Root of Jesse, Scripture speaks of a coming day when You will rule in peace and righteousness, when the world will be filled with the knowledge of You and all will confess that Jesus is Lord. With Your rule, peace will come to all of creation. I long for this day when wars will cease, humans will live in harmony with Your good creation, and death will die. Right now, I find myself in the in-between of here but not yet. Help me wait in faithfulness, making the most of my opportunities to promote peace in the lives and world around me. May I live with steady trust that the current brokenness of creation is not forever. Peace is coming. And so I trust, in the words of Julian of Norwich, that all shall be well. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Private equity has moved through healthcare, dental, and accounting. Law firms are next — and the deals are already happening. But most law firm leaders don't fully understand the structure, the math, or the risks involved. TJ Henry is the co-founder and managing partner of Federate, a management services organization that launches, operates, and scales law firms. He's also one of the most knowledgeable people in the country on how MSO structures work, what investors are actually looking for, and what law firm founders need to know before they sit down at the table. In this episode — part of the Sometimes Tuesdays legal-specific series — TJ joins Scott Love for one of the most detailed, practical conversations the Rainmaking Podcast has ever had on law firm M&A, private equity, and the MSO model. You'll learn: What an MSO actually is — and why it's the legal workaround that makes third-party investment in law firms possible How 20-year contracts, EBITDA calculations, and per-timekeeper fees actually work in these deals Why a $100M revenue firm doesn't generate $100M in EBITDA — and how to find the real number What realistic deal multiples look like right now (and why low-to-mid teens should make you nervous) Why the lawyers most likely to get a deal done are the ones willing to stay and grow — not the ones looking to cash out and leave The three levers every PE investor needs to pull to run a profitable MSO deal: EBITDA arbitrage, law firm growth, and cost reduction What investors get wrong when they try to buy into law firms without law firm operators on their team The difference between a roll-up model and a multi-firm MSO — and the conflicts-of-interest issue that makes one harder than the other Why small to mid-sized firms are actually better deal targets than AmLaw 200 firms What "law firm in a box" looks like — and how Federate can get a new firm up and running in 60 days If you're a law firm founder, managing partner, equity partner, or investor evaluating the legal services market — this episode is required listening.

Scott Love has read thousands of law firm partner bios. Most of them are bad. Most of them read like word-for-word copies of every other attorney at every other firm — and they do nothing to compel a prospective client to pick up the phone. In this solo episode, Scott breaks down the five pillars of a high-performing online bio: the framework he's developed over 30+ years as a legal recruiter that turns a forgettable credentials list into a compelling narrative that makes clients say, "Get me that person." This one applies whether you're a law firm partner, a consultant, a financial advisor, or any other professional services provider whose bio is the first thing a prospect reads before deciding whether to reach out. You'll learn: Why most professional bios fail — and the one question every bio must answer The difference between marketing and business development (and which one your bio actually is) The 5 pillars of a compelling online bio: Key Differentiators, Distinction Points, Value Proposition, Track Record & Proof Points, and Thought Leadership The "so what? so that." exercise that instantly reveals whether your bio is making a real case for you Why in-house experience, prior careers, and unusual backgrounds are your biggest untapped differentiators — and why most people leave them out How to turn a generic credentials paragraph into a narrative that shows what you actually do for clients What thought leadership on a bio looks like — and the specific details that signal authority to a prospect The final bonus tip: 15 minutes a day that separates consistent rainmakers from everyone else Scott also references his co-authored book Rainmaker Confidential (with Henry DeVries and Mark LeBlanc) — a full playbook for thought leadership and client development.

The legal industry is about to change faster than most law firm leaders are prepared for. Private equity is coming. AI is already here. And the firms that keep doing things the way they've always been done are going to find themselves squeezed from both sides. Tim Keith is the CEO and founder of Propense AI, an AI-driven cross-selling and client intelligence platform built specifically for law firms. He's watched private equity transform the accounting industry in real time — and he's convinced the same inflection point is coming for legal, faster than anyone anticipates. In this episode, Tim joins Scott Love to lay out a clear-eyed view of what the law firm of the future actually looks like, what separates the firms that will lead from those that will be absorbed, and what managing partners and partners should be doing right now to get ahead of it. You'll learn: Why Tim believes the traditional partnership model will change dramatically within the next five years How private equity reshaped accounting in under four years — and why legal is next Why "we've never done it that way" is the most dangerous strategy in the current market The "one-firm mentality" — why cross-selling is no longer optional and how the best firms are executing it What non-lawyer ownership of law firms already looks like in practice (Arizona's precedent) How the billing model is shifting toward value-based pricing — and what that will look like in practice Why the "black box" of legal work is disappearing and what that means for your competitive position The rise of niche AI-native law firms — and the partners who are already leaving BigLaw to start them Why the middle market is going to get "swallowed up" and what that means if your firm lives there 3 action steps law firm leaders and individual partners can take right now to prepare Visit: https://therainmakingpodcast.com/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ej-q2TZ0eGE ---------------------------------------- If you are a successful law firm partner or law firm founder and want to hear about other options, please book a time on Scott Love's calendar here: https://calendly.com/scott-736/half-hour-phone-meeting-with-scott Or email Scott to connect with him at: scott@attorneysearchgroup.com ----------------------------------------

St. Louis is approximately the temperature of the sun, and the only reasonable goal is to land the plane without setting either the plane or ourselves on fire. Naturally, we immediately fail.Things actually start suspiciously positive when the crew discovers The Rizzuto Show won the St. Louis Magazine A-List honor for Talk/News Radio Show. Nobody knew. Nobody prepared a speech. Nobody even knew when the results came out. Truly the level of professionalism you expect from an award-winning funny podcast and radio show. We celebrate by immediately combing through the other winners and finalists, congratulating friends, questioning categories and proving that even success can become an argument if you give us enough time.Then Moon spots an expired Missouri temp tag, and that harmless observation detonates into one of the great Rizz Show debates: why is getting permanent plates such a ridiculous process? Missouri is working toward eliminating paper temp tags and changing how vehicle sales tax gets collected, which should finally make things easier. There's just one small problem: Rafe casually admits HIS temp tags are expired.Rafe has the paperwork. He has the money. He has the check. What he apparently does not possess is the spiritual strength required to actually finish the process. This leads to his transformation from procrastinating vehicle owner into self-appointed freedom fighter, complete with comparisons to Gandhi that Gandhi's estate would presumably like removed from the record. According to Rafe, this isn't laziness. It's peaceful protest. According to everyone else in the studio: dude, go get your plates.From there, the funny podcast portion of our alleged news operation kicks the doors completely off the hinges.A Minnesota man allegedly decides neighborhood kids cutting across his lawn require homemade spike strips, giving us the “get off my lawn” story to end all “get off my lawn” stories. That sends the show into booby-trap law, trespassing, old farm stories and the landmark legal case of Wet Bandits v. Kevin McAllister. Please note: The Rizzuto Show is not a law firm. This paragraph alone should have made that obvious.Then we meet a Georgia driver accused of trying to run down a jogger after she committed the unforgivable crime of saying “good morning.” Three attempts. One greeting. Apparently mornings have gotten significantly more hostile.And somehow that STILL isn't enough chaos for one episode.Creep Corner arrives with the kind of characters who make you wonder why your neighborhood Facebook group suddenly feels comforting, the Town Crier of Creep Corner gets involved, and eventually we reach FULL CONTACT LEOPARDS, because nature apparently looked at everything humans were doing in this episode and said, “Fine, our turn.”It's celebrity news, weird news, St. Louis nonsense, ridiculous arguments, accidental confessions and the usual collection of tangents that turn a simple story into twenty minutes of grown adults questioning society. In other words, another perfectly normal episode of The Rizzuto Show.If you like daily humor, funny stories, entertainment gossip, unusual news stories, sarcastic humor and watching radio professionals discover potentially important information live on their own show, congratulations: you have found your funny podcast.We apologize in advance.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pressure is inevitable. But whether it contracts you or expands you — that's a choice. Dr. Emma Zia has spent nine years helping founders, executives, and high performers figure out which voice they're listening to, and how to change it. Emma is a high performance expert, author of Power Under Pressure, and holds a Doctorate in Metaphysical Science. She works with leaders at critical inflection points — when the stakes are highest and the old patterns are loudest. In this episode, she joins Scott Love to unpack the Contractor vs. Expander framework, the six hidden unconscious patterns that quietly cap success, and the practical tools to break through each one. Scott calls this one of the most personally meaningful conversations on the Rainmaking Podcast — one he read aloud to his wife and daughter. It's a little different. And it might be exactly what you need. You'll learn: What the Contractor and Expander voices are — and how to tell which one is running your decisions Why you cannot outperform your inner world (and what that means for your business results) The 6 hidden patterns that keep high performers stuck: Imposter, Overdrive, Chaos, Fortress, Freeze, and Control The Dimmer vs. Inflator — two faces of the Imposter pattern and how to spot them in yourself Why Warren Buffett's success is an argument against the Overdrive pattern The PlayStation level analogy: why you can't skip to the next level without breaking through the current one first Why fighting reality only intensifies suffering — and what acceptance actually looks like for a high achiever How one client went from zero sales for six months to $60K collected in four weeks after a single session The visceral body exercise that tells you in real time whether you're in contraction or expansion 3 action steps to start accessing your power under pressure today Visit: https://therainmakingpodcast.com YouTube: https://youtu.be/pdS6k1sUZRk ---------------------------------------- If you are a successful law firm partner or law firm founder and want to hear about other options, please book a time on Scott Love's calendar here: https://calendly.com/scott-736/half-hour-phone-meeting-with-scott Or email Scott to connect with him at: scott@attorneysearchgroup.com ----------------------------------------

Research shows lawyers score below average in emotional intelligence compared to the general population. That gap is costing law firms talent, trust, and millions in preventable attrition. David Sarnoff is an ICF Certified Executive Coach, leadership trainer, and former attorney who founded Sarnoff Group LLC to do development work that actually sticks. He's also the co-author of Beyond the Courtroom: Proven Strategies from the Legal Field for Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and Well-Being in the Modern Workplace. In this episode, David joins Scott Love to break down why emotional intelligence is so hard for lawyers to develop — and exactly how to build it. This is a legal-specific episode from the Sometimes Tuesdays series, and it's one of the most practically useful conversations the show has had on leadership, retention, and what actually keeps great attorneys and staff from walking out the door. You'll learn: Why lawyers as a population score below average in EQ — and what Martin Seligman's research on pessimism reveals about why The connection between low EQ and the legal profession's alarming rates of depression, substance abuse, and burnout Why 70% of what you communicate is nonverbal — and what partners are accidentally telling their teams without knowing it The "three words exercise" that reveals the gap between how you see yourself and how your team actually experiences you What the amygdala hijack is and why it makes otherwise rational lawyers act irrationally under stress The box breathing technique Navy SEALs use to stay calm in chaos — and how one practice group leader used it to stop a blow-up in real time What KKR discovered when they studied empathy in their portfolio company CEOs (it has nothing to do with being "nice") Why people don't leave law firms — they leave partners (and what the data says about attrition costs) How to use the EQI 2.0 assessment to get a baseline and track growth 3 specific action steps to start elevating your emotional intelligence today Visit: https://therainmakingpodcast.com/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/HrfAyoqt9EQ ---------------------------------------- If you are a successful law firm partner or law firm founder and want to hear about other options, please book a time on Scott Love's calendar here: https://calendly.com/scott-736/half-hour-phone-meeting-with-scott Or email Scott to connect with him at: scott@attorneysearchgroup.com ----------------------------------------

"No is a complete sentence." It took Gina Rubel years of executive coaching — and nearly 25 years of running a top legal PR firm — to fully believe that. In this episode, she makes the case for why. Gina Rubel is the CEO and General Counsel of Furia Rubel Communications, a nationally recognized legal marketing, litigation PR, and crisis communications agency. She joins Scott Love for the Rainmaking Podcast's first-ever episode dedicated entirely to saying no — when to do it, how to do it, and why the most successful professionals in any field have mastered it. This conversation is packed with practical frameworks: red flag checklists, core values exercises, real-world stories from crisis comms and RFP negotiations, and the "yes, and" mindset that turns a firm no into a future opportunity. You'll learn: The 6 most common reasons a professional services provider should turn down business — and how to recognize each one early How to build your personal red flag checklist before you take another intake call Why your core values — not your revenue goals — should be the filter for every new client relationship The RFP negotiation story: how saying "we can't do this in time" turned into a stronger client relationship Why "no" doesn't always have to mean no — and how the "yes, and" approach keeps doors open How to actually say no to a prospect without over-explaining or burning the bridge Why culture fit doesn't mean identical culture — and what the real alignment requirement is The red flag you're probably overlooking: clients who don't value your advice When an existing client relationship warrants a no (and how to handle it with integrity) 3 action steps to start saying no to the right things starting today Visit: https://therainmakingpodcast.com/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/DHktJ3_6xMw ---------------------------------------- If you are a successful law firm partner or law firm founder and want to hear about other options, please book a time on Scott Love's calendar here: https://calendly.com/scott-736/half-hour-phone-meeting-with-scott Or email Scott to connect with him at: scott@attorneysearchgroup.com ----------------------------------------

Welcome to The Daily. We are 11 days away from beginning our next book of the Bible. We are moving to the New Testament, 1 Peter. We are going to discover how to live holy in a hostile world. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. And if you are a Project23 donor giving $35 or more per month, this has already been shipped to you. So become a donor and partner with us in Project23. Our text today is Hosea 13:7-8 So I am to them like a lion;     like a leopard I will lurk beside the way. I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs;     I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion,     as a wild beast would rip them open. — Hosea 13:7-8 People love the idea of God being loving. Fewer people are comfortable with the idea of God opposing them. But that is because people misunderstand God's love. It is not soft indifference. God is holy. And when people persistently resist Him, reject Him, harden themselves against Him, and refuse every warning He gives, eventually they experience not only His kindness but His opposition. In our text, God is pictured as: Lion. Leopard. Bear. These are not random animals. They are kings of the jungle. Hunters. Protectors. Violent. Protective. They describe the seriousness of what happens when people continue resisting the God who loves them. And this is difficult for many modern believers because we have created a version of God that only affirms, comforts, and accommodates. But the God of Scripture also confronts, disciplines, restrains, and judges because He knows where rebellion ultimately leads. A loving Father does not stand by while destruction consumes His children. That is why this passage should not merely scare us. It should wake us up. And yet, even here, the warning itself is mercy. Because God is still speaking. If He truly wanted to abandon His people completely, He would stop warning them altogether. But Hosea exists because God keeps confronting people He still wants to rescue. And maybe that is what this moment is for you. Maybe God has been pressing on something in your life for a long time: a compromise, an addiction, bitterness, pride, a relationship, a hidden sin, or an area of stubborn resistance. Do not keep hardening yourself. The longer the compromise is defended, the harder surrender becomes. But hear this absolutely: God's confrontation is not proof He hates you. It is proof that He still loves you enough to stop you from destroying yourself. So stop resisting Him. Respond while your heart is still soft enough to surrender. DO THIS: Stop defending one area of compromise or resistance today and honestly bring it before God. ASK THIS: What conviction have I been resisting repeatedly? Where has my heart started growing numb? Am I treating God's warnings as mercy or annoyance? PRAY THIS: Father, do not let my heart grow hard toward you. Help me respond quickly to your conviction, surrender honestly, and trust that your correction comes from your love for me. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Nothing Else"

In this interview, author Stephen Harrigan discusses his historical novel, The Leopard is Loose, which centers on a real-life animal escape in 1950s Oklahoma City. The narrative follows young Grady McCarty and his family as they navigate the psychological and social shifts of the post-World War II era. Harrigan explains how the leopard serves as a catalyst for a community already destabilized by veterans' PTSD, looming Cold War anxieties, and the rigid structures of racial segregation. By filtering the story through Grady's childhood bewilderment and adult reflection, the book examines a family struggling to reconcile past trauma with an uncertain future. The discussion highlights how the pursuit of the escaped animal energized men who felt obsolete in a changing society, while also exposing the deep rifts within American domestic life.1916 TEXAS

Leopard sharks have nearly vanished from the waters in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. The country is one of the largest shark fishing nations in the world. Now, a first-of-its-kind conservation project is working to bring Indo-Pacific leopard sharks back from the brink of extinction. This international project hatches their eggs and raises shark pups to rewild them into the ocean where they once thrived. Will it be enough?For answers, we talk to freelance journalist Katerina Barton. She takes us behind-the-scenes to a shark nursery and shares what this conservation project could mean for other shark species.Interested in more conservation news?

How the Leopard Got His Spots by Rudyard Kipling — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep, Insomnia & Deep Relaxation | Books at Bedtime A soothing bedtime story to help you fall asleep — read slowly and softly by Martin, for anyone lying awake and wanting something gentle to drift off to. Tonight's reading is How the Leopard Got His Spots, one of Rudyard Kipling's much-loved Just So Stories, first published in 1902 and long out of copyright. It's a warm, playful tale of the bare, sunlit High Veldt, of a giraffe and a zebra who slip away into a shadowy forest, of Baviaan the wise baboon and his riddling advice, and of how a leopard and his hunting companion finally learn to change. Kipling wrote these stories to be spoken aloud to a child at bedtime — the rolling, repeating rhythm and the familiar refrain of "best beloved" are exactly what makes them settle a restless mind. There is nothing to follow here and nothing to do. No breathing exercise, no affirmations. Just a voice in the dark and a story that goes somewhere far away from your own day. If you fall asleep long before the leopard ever finds his spots, the story has done its job. This is Books at Bedtime, part of Coffee Break for the Soul from the Calming Anxiety podcast — a growing library of classic sleep stories, relaxing audiobooks and public-domain readings for insomnia, night-time anxiety and deep relaxation. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett. Every Books at Bedtime story is also inside Anchored, our iOS app — offline-ready, with a built-in nightlight for the small hours, so there is always something waiting for you at three in the morning. Sleep well, my friend, and in your dreams, be kind.
