If you ask Americans to name the signers of the Declaration of Independence, they will probably mention John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. But what about the other 52 delegates from the 13 colonies who signed the document?  Men like Thomas McKean, Lyman Hall, George Walton, Francis Lewis, Benjamin Rush, and Roger Sherman? Historian Carol Berkin, one of the nation's leading scholars of the founding era and the author of the National Constitution Center's definitive short biographies of all 56 signers, joins the Center to explore the stories of these lesser-known signers. Berkin reveals these figures not as distant icons, but as real people whose lives were marked by ambition, sacrifice, hardship, resilience, and public service. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Berkin explains why understanding the full cast of characters behind American independence can deepen our appreciation of the nation's founding and the ongoing work of constitutional self-government. Julie Silverbrook, chief content and learning officer at the National Constitution Center, moderates.    Resources  Josiah Bartlett (New Hampshire), National Constitution Center  Elbridge Gerry (Massachusetts), National Constitution Center  Button Gwinnett (Georgia), National Constitution Center  Lyman Hall (Georgia), National Constitution Center  Francis Lewis (New York), National Constitution Center  Thomas McKean (Delaware), National Constitution Center  Robert Morris, Jr. (Pennsylvania), National Constitution Center  Benjamin Rush (Pennsylvania), National Constitution Center  Roger Sherman (Connecticut), National Constitution Center  Richard Stockton (New Jersey), National Constitution Center  George Walton (Georgia), National Constitution Center  Biographies of all the Declaration's Signers, National Constitution Center Stay Connected and Learn More Questions or comments about the show?

You may be hyped for Disclosure Day, but the BTTM crew is taking you back 65 mill-- well, 33 years to another of director Steven Spielberg's iconic summer blockbusters: Jurassic Park! Writer, artist, and bookseller Val Lesser joins the podcast to discuss the classic film and its Michael Crichton source material. Allan also watched all seven (!) Jurassic movies in the lead-up to this episode, so you can probably spare 90 minutes to listen to it. Right? Also, if you like this one, search back in the feed for Better Than the Movie, Ep. 5: Jaws w/ Kristen Lopez. That episode was a real blockbuster too.

Here's a long-form SEO-friendly podcast episode description you can use:Have you ever felt like your problems were too small for God to care about? In this episode, we explore one of the Bible's most overlooked miracles—the story of the Floating Axe Head found in 2 Kings 6:1-7. Though it is a brief and often forgotten account tucked away in the Old Testament, this remarkable miracle reveals profound truths about God's character, His care for His people, and His involvement in the everyday struggles of life.As the company of prophets expands, they decide to build a larger place to live and learn. While working together on this mission, disaster strikes when a borrowed axe head flies off the handle and sinks into the Jordan River. To many, this might seem like a minor inconvenience. Yet the prophet Elisha responds, and God performs an extraordinary miracle by causing the iron axe head to float.What can this unusual story teach us today?In this episode, we discover how God is deeply concerned with the practical challenges we face. The floating axe head reminds us that no problem is too insignificant to bring before the Lord. Whether we are facing financial pressures, workplace challenges, ministry difficulties, family concerns, or personal disappointments, God invites us to cry out to Him and trust in His care.We also examine the importance of community and mutual support. The young prophet did not hide his problem or attempt to solve it alone. Instead, he shared his struggle and sought help. His honesty opened the door for God's intervention. This powerful lesson encourages believers to be transparent about their burdens and to support one another through life's challenges. We are not meant to carry our struggles in isolation.The story further teaches us about serving together in God's mission. The prophets were engaged in a task that honored God, and the Lord demonstrated His concern for their work. This reminds us that God values faithfulness in both large and small assignments. Whether our calling seems prominent or hidden, God sees it, cares about it, and equips us for it. No act of service is insignificant in His kingdom.We discuss how God often chooses to work through people to meet the needs of others. Just as Elisha became an instrument of God's miraculous provision, believers today are called to be available for God to use in helping, encouraging, and supporting those around them. We may never know how God can use a simple act of kindness to answer someone's prayer.This fascinating miracle also reveals God's concern for relationships. The axe head was borrowed, and the prophet was distressed because of his responsibility to another person. God's intervention demonstrates that He cares about integrity, stewardship, and our relationships with others. When we cry out to Him, He listens because He cares.Join us as we unpack this lesser-known Bible story and discover timeless lessons about faith, community, obedience, God's compassion, and His miraculous power. If you've ever wondered whether God cares about the details of your life, this episode offers a powerful reminder that He does. The God who caused iron to float is the same God who hears our prayers, walks with us in our struggles, and works all things according to His purposes.Topics covered in this episode include:• The Floating Axe Head (2 Kings 6:1-7)• Elisha and the Company of the Prophets• God's Care for Everyday Problems• Trusting God in Difficult Circumstances• The Importance of Christian Community• Sharing Our Struggles with Others• Being Available for God to Use• Stewardship and Responsibility• God's Concern for Relationships• Faith and Divine Intervention• Old Testament Miracles• Biblical Typology and Baptism• Resurrection Themes in Scripture• Lessons from the Life of Elisha• Encouragement for Christian Living• Understanding God's Compassion and Power

Rick Lesser is back at the bar — snowbird tan and all — and this one runs from a 2012 trash-can fire to a city-manager form of government nobody fully understands. Under all of it sits one question: who actually runs this town — the mayor or the city manager? Along the way we get into the windscreens that turned West Park into a wall, a $170K no-bid tech contract, and the beach concession scorecard the city still won't release.We document. You decide.

The panel opens the show with plenty of humor before diving into several Vision Pro-focused stories and apps that caught their attention this week. The discussion begins with Apple's recognition of The Primary News in Depth as part of the Apple Design Awards. The app delivers immersive spatial news experiences on Vision Pro and sparks conversation about the future of immersive journalism and the challenges of producing high-quality spatial video content. Marty points out how apps like this can expose users to stories and perspectives from around the world that traditional U.S. news outlets often overlook. The panel also highlights Let's Go Fly, a free Vision Pro immersive aviation app that lets users experience flight in spatial video. Jill shares her enthusiasm for flight simulation experiences and discusses how immersive environments like this could become a major use case for Vision Pro moving forward. Attention then shifts to the future of Vision Pro hardware after new reports suggested Apple may be developing a lighter and more affordable Vision Pro successor for release sometime around 2028. Marty explains the distinction between Vision Pro as a premium immersive entertainment and enterprise device versus future Apple smart glasses aimed at mainstream consumers. Jeff strongly pushes back against ongoing claims that Vision Pro is "on ice," arguing Apple has always treated the product as an evolving platform rather than a mass-market product from day one. Jill compares the current state of Vision Pro to the early days of expensive VHS players and other technology products that eventually became mainstream over time. The team also discusses a newly granted Apple patent describing an Apple Pencil-like XR input device capable of providing haptic feedback and texture simulation in virtual environments. Jeff becomes especially excited about the creative possibilities for artists, sculptors, and even medical professionals using virtual tools with tactile feedback. The group also talks about how Apple's haptics technology continues to separate its ecosystem from competitors. On the software side, the panel reviews the latest Apple beta and minor software updates, including macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 and an iOS update addressing charging issues affecting iPhone Air and iPhone 17 models. Jeff shares a theory that the macOS update may also quietly address kernel panic crashes tied to external spinning hard drives connected to Macs. With WWDC 2026 only days away, the discussion shifts heavily toward predictions and expectations for Apple's annual developer conference. The panel reacts to Apple inviting WWDC attendees to a special screening of The Mandalorian and Grogu at Apple Park, complete with a possible appearance by special guests involved with the film. Dave shares his thoughts after seeing the movie in theaters and praises its action sequences and sound design. The conversation then turns to WWDC predictions, with everyone agreeing that Apple Intelligence and Siri upgrades will likely dominate much of the keynote. Jeff expects Apple to focus on AI integration without going overboard the way other tech companies have recently done. Jill hopes Apple introduces a much more personal and contextual AI assistant capable of understanding the user's device, files, habits, and health data. She also expresses interest in deeper HealthKit integration that could provide meaningful insights into sleep patterns, blood sugar tracking, and wellness habits. Marty predicts Apple will expose new APIs allowing Siri and Apple Intelligence to integrate more deeply into apps and potentially VisionOS itself. HomeKit and smart home functionality become another major topic as the panel discusses rumors surrounding new HomePod mini hardware, a refreshed Apple TV, and a possible smart home-focused "HomePad" device. Jeff floats the idea that Apple could eventually position Apple TV as a more serious gaming console if future hardware includes dramatically improved processors. The show also includes several practical Apple tips, including how to leave FaceTime video voicemail messages, set up text replacements, use the one-handed iPhone keyboard, clear notifications quickly, and set timers that automatically stop music or audio playback. Jeff also highlights how much he relies on Universal Clipboard between Apple devices throughout his day. Later in the episode, the panel discusses Apple's latest App Design Award winners, including apps like Structured, Grug, Is This Seat Taken?, Guitar Whiz, and immersive Vision Pro NBA experiences. Jill shares her enthusiasm for Structured as an ADHD-friendly productivity app, while Marty and Jeff discuss puzzle games, retro-style experiences, and the growing creativity in Apple's developer ecosystem. The episode closes with excitement surrounding Macstock 10 and the upcoming Ecamm Creator Camp event. Dave, Marty, Jeff, and Jill talk about their upcoming presentations, the importance of community networking, and how Macstock continues to bring together Apple fans, creators, podcasters, and developers for one of the most enjoyable Apple community events of the year. The panel also reflects on the upcoming closure of the British Tech Network and the final episodes of several long-running shows.

0:00 - What's worse? Knowing what you need to do to fix your roster, but not being able to do it because of cap/CBA contraints? Or having a great roster that fell short and not knowing what you're supposed to do with it? Could we possibly be talking about 2 teams in this town?13:22 - The NBA officially approved a "solution" that's going to "fix" the tanking "issue" that's plaguing the league! Here's the thing though. It's super convoluted, bloated, and no one really understands what's going on. And again...more importantly...it STILL DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM! How are we still doing this??35:09 - Oh, by the way...the MLB tentatively proposed a hard salary cap and a spending floor. Unsurprisingly, the MLBPA didn't like the proposal. Strap in, y'all. There will be no baseball played in 2027. We're 1000% headed for a lockout.Oh, by the way...SEC Commissioner said the Cupcake Scheduling Week is officially over. Sorry, Alabama. You don't get to host North Arkansas Tech Community College the week before the Iron Bowl anymore.

Get the notes!Can True Christians Drift Away? Understating New Covenant Accountability in Hebrews 2:1–4The book of Hebrews contains some of the most profound christological declarations in all of Holy Scripture, but it also contains some of the most sobering warnings. In Chapter 1, the text establishes the supreme, uncreated deity of Jesus Christ. He is revealed as the exact representation of the Father's essence, the immortal Architect of the cosmos, and the Sovereign whose throne is everlasting.However, immediately following this grand opening, the inspired author abruptly pauses the doctrinal discourse. Before detailing the high-priestly necessity of Christ's humanity, he introduces the first of five major hortatory warnings found in the epistle.This systematic study guide explores the critical mechanics of spiritual drift, reconciles the text's urgent warnings with the absolute reality of eternal security, and unpacks the powerful a fortiori (lesser-to-greater) argument constructed to demonstrate New Covenant hyper-accountability.I. The Doctrinal Grounding of Exhortation (Hebrews 2:1)Hebrews 2:1 — "For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it." A. The Conjunction of NecessityThe opening phrase “For this reason” functions as an architectural hinge point linking christian duty directly to the grand disclosures of Chapter 1. It establishes a permanent principle for the church: practical christian responsibility is always anchored in the objective reality of who Jesus Christ is. Because the Son is uncreated God and King, the audience bears a heightened obligation to guard His specific revelation.B. The Mandate for Urgent GuardingThe text issues a strict command to pay “much closer attention” to the received apostolic message. This identifies the primary defense against spiritual decay as continuous, purposeful immersion in the truth of the Gospel. Spiritual decline is resisted not by human willpower alone, but by actively anchoring the mind to christological truth.II. Exegesis of the Verbal Phenomenon: “Drift Away”A. Linguistic ProfilingThe text implements the specific Greek verbal form pararuomen (παραρυῶμεν). This word is classified as a hapax legomenon—occurring only this single time within the entire text of the Greek New Testament. The author chose this rare verbal marker intentionally to disrupt casual reading, forcing the student to contemplate the unique mechanical danger of spiritual sliding.B. The Nautical MetaphorIn classical Greek maritime literature, pararuomen outlines the behavior of an unanchored sailing vessel carried past its safe destination by local tides and prevailing currents. The vessel does not turn away in sudden, violent mutiny; it simply floats past its safe harbor because the crew is passive and unmonitored. This illustrates that spiritual decay within the church is rarely a deliberate departure, but rather a slow, unperceived slide into compromise caused by unresisted cultural currents.III. Theological Harmonization: Drift vs. Eternal SecurityA. Refutation of the Loss-of-Salvation PremiseArminian interpretations routinely isolate the warning language of Hebrews to claim that a true, regenerated believer can forfeit their salvation and experience ultimate condemnation. Isolating the text in this manner creates an artificial contradiction with the clear, systematic unity of the New Testament.B. The Uncompromising Blueprint of Eternal SecurityUnder the absolute blueprints of John 6:37–39, true believers are designated as a corporate love-gift from the Father to the Son. The preservation of the believer is maintained entirely by the omnipotent keeping power of Jesus Christ, who promises to lose absolutely none of those entrusted to Him, but to raise every single one on the final day. Christ performs this keeping ministry explicitly because it is the unalterable, sovereign will of the Father.C. The Nature of Salvation as an Unearned GiftSynthesizing this text with Ephesians 2:8–9 demonstrates that salvation is by grace through faith—a free gift completely detached from human works. Because human effort did not earn salvation initially, human weakness cannot dissolve it. Salvation belongs exclusively to the Lord.

We chat with everyone's favorite esthetician and acne whisperer, Sofie Pavitt, on this episode. You might recognize her colorful skincare line, Sofie Pavitt Face, from countless Top Shelf name drops. She has the coolest facial studio in Chinatown where we (as well as every cool downtown figure) have had our mugs graced by her skillful hands. Lesser known, however, is that Sofie is just like us: a fellow scent head. We talk about her favorite scents growing up, working in fashion before getting into skincare, and how she incorporates scent into her studio.[What we smell like today: Floraiku Flying South, Matiere Premiere Metal Lavender]

A casual night watching sports, a quick breast self-exam, and a lump that did not belong there. Faced with no insurance and four months of not knowing what to do, Felicia Kent walked into a neighborhood clinic, received a referral to The Rose, and heard the three words that changed everything: you have cancer. In this episode, she talks about choosing a treatment center, using research and strict adherence to medication to blunt chemo side effects, and learning to live with radiation fatigue, lymphedema, neuropathy, and a body that will never be the same. She also shares how faith, a determined daughter, an emotional support dog, and a calling to serve other survivors led her to start a nonprofit, finish her psychology degree, and focus on practical support and early mammograms in the African American community. Support The Rose HERE. Subscribe to Let’s Talk About Your Breasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and wherever you get your podcasts. Key Questions Answered 1. How did Felicia find her lump and what kept her from seeking help immediately? 2. How does someone without insurance get from a neighborhood clinic to The Rose for diagnostic care? 3. What does it feel like to hear “you have cancer,” and how did Felicia share that news with her family? 4. How did she choose a treatment center and manage chemo, surgery, and radiation side effects day to day? 5. What practical strategies helped her reduce chemo side effects like nausea, mouth sores, and nosebleeds? 6. How is she now supporting other patients through a nonprofit, church outreach, and peer-to-peer work? 7. Why are mindset, faith, and social support so critical during and after breast cancer treatment? 8. How is she raising awareness about mammograms and access within the African American community? 9. What long-term issues like lymphedema, neuropathy, and fear of recurrence does she still live with? 10. How does an emotional support dog, movement, and counseling help manage post-treatment anxiety?

Rainy Sunday Nap Stream - 100 Lesser-Known Cryptids of the U.S. with Steve StocktonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

In this 3rd recording of Off the Record in 2026, Rastislav, Stewart and Ken bring some new films into the picture.In our feature Rastislav compares two films about evil. I Saw the Devil from 2010, and Blue Velvet from 1986 represent stark opposites in how evil can be portrayed. I Saw the Devil being a Korean film directed by Kim Jee-woon and Blue Velvet by David Lynch. Both are well liked and are highly praised. One is more of a dark and psychological evil, while the other is a chaotic type. Stars include Kyle MacLachlan and Isabella Rossellini. The Korean film has Lee Byung-hun and Choi Min-sik as their main characters. Rasto gives us his impression of both films.Stewart's Greater pick Dangerous animals from 2025 directed by Sean Byrne — starring Hassie Harrison and Jai Courtney. The Dangerous animal in question are blood thirsty sharks off the gold coast, but the antagonist has a dark secret to be revealed to his would be captors. The film takes us slightly into the psyche of a serial killer, but remains true to the genre of a survivalist film.Ken gives us a run-down of his man vs machine pick, Unstoppable from 2010. Directed by Tony Scott and featuring Denzel Washington with Chris Pine. The film is about a run-away train carrying dangerous chemicals and the efforts made to get the train under control. Based on real life events while still filled with action and suspense. This was Tony Scott's last film unfortunately before he passed on. Ken gave it a fair assessment. The Lesser pick by Stewart had an interesting premise, but fell way short in the delivery department. American Sweatshop from 2025 directed by Uta Briesewitz and starring Lili Reinhart attempts to give us an inside look into the lives of social media content moderators. The film is set in modern day Florida and the main character becomes obsessed with one of the recordings she saw while moderating. She hopes to get justice for the possible victim in the video.And finally Ken recounted his experience with the 2016 sci-fi pick Colossal directed by Nacho Vigalondo and Anne Hathaway as the lead actor. Unfortunately there was a bit of a bait and switch as the film had a darker edge than Ken expected, rather than the whimsical sci-fi comedy he was expecting. And one final note from Stewart is the disappointing 2026 series finale of Good Omens that left a bad taste for Stewart and seemingly the fans. This is a public episode.

Wholehearted: A Mother's Prayer for Her Son EFCCL Download WHOLEHEARTED: A Mother's Prayer for Her SonPastor Marty Voltz (Psalm 86:11-12)1. The biblical use of the word “heart.”2. God's desire for wholehearted followers.3. Lesser alternatives frequently chosen by His children.4. The road to wholehearted devotion.

In this episode of The BIG Home Ed Conversations Podcast, Kelly and Ashley explore this week's “topic from the hat” challenge: lesser known sports. They start by going down the rabbit hole of strange and wonderful sports from around the world (and even a few from right here in the UK), and it quickly opens up bigger conversations about creativity, culture, community, and what sport is actually for. We chat about: The weird and wonderful sports humans have invented (and why some of them are genuinely shocking) Chess boxing (yes, really): alternating rounds of chess and boxing, and what that says about “mental” vs “physical” sport The difference between a sport and a game (and using the dictionary to define it properly) How quickly a sport can grow once people actually see it (media, Olympics, exposure, and suddenly everyone wants to try it) Why “lesser known” doesn't mean “less valuable” — it might just mean it hasn't had the PR yet How sport can be about fun, community, identity, tradition, and entertainment (not just winning) Making space for movement in other areas of their education (especially for neurodivergent kids), and why physical activity supports mental health too How this topic can branch into loads of learning: history, geography, PE, science (heart rate/pulse), maths (scoring), literacy (writing rules), and even coding-style logic (if this happens, then what?) Kelly and Ashley also share some of the real-life ways this topic showed up in their week — from hobby horsing and play-based competitions, to watching Paralympic sport and noticing how many different bodies and abilities can be included in athleticism. If you're joining in with the weekly topic challenge, we'd love to hear what you did with it — and remember, this is never about pressure or “doing enough”. It's just a fun way to spark ideas, follow curiosity, and bring a bit of variety into your home ed rhythm.

Full Text of Readings Fifth Sunday of Easter Lectionary: 52 The Saint of the day is Saints Philip and James Saints Philip and James' Story James, Son of Alphaeus: We know nothing of this man except his name, and, of course, the fact that Jesus chose him to be one of the 12 pillars of the New Israel, his Church. He is not the James of Acts, son of Clopas, “brother” of Jesus and later bishop of Jerusalem and the traditional author of the Letter of James. James, son of Alphaeus, is also known as James the Lesser to avoid confusing him with James the son of Zebedee, also an apostle and known as James the Greater. Philip: Philip came from the same town as Peter and Andrew, Bethsaida in Galilee. Jesus called him directly, whereupon he sought out Nathanael and told him of the “one about whom Moses wrote” (Jn 1:45). Like the other apostles, Philip took a long time coming to realize who Jesus was. On one occasion, when Jesus saw the great multitude following him and wanted to give them food, he asked Philip where they should buy bread for the people to eat. Saint John comments, “[Jesus] said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do” (Jn 6:6). Philip answered, “Two hundred days' wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little [bit]” (Jn 6:7). Saint Christopher: Fact or Fiction? John's story is not a put-down of Philip. It was simply necessary for these men who were to be the foundation stones of the Church to see the clear distinction between humanity's total helplessness apart from God and the human ability to be a bearer of divine power by God's gift. On another occasion, we can almost hear the exasperation in Jesus's voice. After Thomas had complained that they did not know where Jesus was going, Jesus said, “I am the way. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him” (Jn 14:6a, 7). Then Philip said, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us” (Jn 14:8). Enough! Jesus answered, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father” (Jn 14:9a). Possibly because Philip bore a Greek name or because he was thought to be close to Jesus, some gentile proselytes came to him and asked him to introduce them to Jesus. Philip went to Andrew, and Andrew went to Jesus. Jesus's reply in John's Gospel is indirect; Jesus says that now his “hour” has come, that in a short time he will give his life for Jew and gentile alike. Reflection As in the case of the other apostles, we see in James and Philip human men who became foundation stones of the Church, and we are reminded again that holiness and its consequent apostolate are entirely the gift of God, not a matter of human achieving. All power is God's power, even the power of human freedom to accept his gifts. “You will be clothed with power from on high,” Jesus told Philip and the others. Their first commission had been to expel unclean spirits, heal diseases, announce the kingdom. They learned, gradually, that these externals were sacraments of an even greater miracle inside their persons—the divine power to love like God. Philip and James, like all of the apostles, show us how the Word of God can heal and unite if only we as a collective are brave enough to listen.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

What will Israel do in the face of adversity? God had warned Moses that He would harden Pharaoh's heart, and there would be a confrontation between God and Pharaoh. The clash of rivals plays out in chapter five as Pharaoh shows his unwillingness to surrender his authority to the “God of the Hebrews.” The great question in this chapter is what the people of God will do when facing hardship after initially believing God's promise to deliver them from their burdens. Whom will they serve?

Is your body a fiat liability? Proof of Work is a biological law that your private keys cannot fix. We examine why the ultimate 2026 luxury is a total Digital Detox and the physical sovereignty found in a Bitcoin Citadel.Is it possible to be a sovereign individual if your body is a product of the fiat food system and your mind is enslaved by a dopamine loop? This episode destroys the myth that Bitcoin is merely a line on a chart. We argue that proof of work is a universal law for your physical, mental, and financial existence. The Bitcoin Park (@bitcoinpark_) crew joins us at Bitcoin Beach to explain how to achieve a digital detox and reclaim your humanity. Rod Roudi shares the grit required to scale a grassroots movement into a premier physical fortress. By securing an off-market facility, they created a high-signal sanctuary for those exiting the legacy system. We discuss their membership model and why physical citadels are essential for the deep collaboration needed to survive the coming decade.Jack Lesser introduces a framework for three wellness pillars: spiritual, physical, and financial health. We delve into the mind-body connection and why a low-time-preference life requires discipline to maintain your own human hardware through movement and presence. Walking barefoot on a beach while ignoring the noise of the internet will soon be the rarest luxury on earth.We analyze Austrian economics in El Salvador. Seeing a circular economy in action, where teenagers build local businesses on a Bitcoin standard, provides a humbling check for the West. This is a functioning alternative to the broken financial system that solves problems for the unbanked and marginalized.We wrap with the convergence of freedom tech, AI, and energy. As these collide, censorship-resistant infrastructure becomes a matter of survival.

In 1 Samuel 8, Israel asks for a king, choosing what looks good instead of trusting God's rule. This message reminds us that choosing sight over faith always leads toward bondage, while trusting God leads to true freedom. Even in our desires and decisions, God calls us to surrender and let Him be our King.

You have almost certainly seen the image in today's episode artwork before. It is a family portrait showing Maximilian, his first wife Marie of Burgundy, his son, Philip the Handsome and three children. When Bernhard Strigel painted this image in around the year 1516, Philip the Handsome was already dead for 10 years and Marie of Burgundy had gone more than 30 years before. Then there are the inscriptions over the heads of these well-known and easily identifiable figures. There is a lot of Habsburg chin on show here. But they do not describe Maximilian as emperor, but as Cleophas, blood brother of Joseph, husband of the divine Virgin Mary, Marie of Burgundy is Mary Cleophas, sister of the Virgin Mary, and Philip the Handsome as James the Lesser, apostle and son of the other two. Two of the three little boys are named as Joseph the Just and Simon the Zealot, the cousin of the lord. Who are these saints? Well they do appear in the bible, so they are real, but in very minor roles. One of them was even rejected as an apostle. But they do have something special, they are Jesus' aunt, uncle, nephews and cousin. And since he had died without offspring, his heirs. So this is a picture about succession and inheritance, not necessarily about family love.Ok, making the emperor the brother in law of Joseph is quite odd already, but let's talk about the three children. They were all alive when this picture was painted and roughly the age they are depicted as. The one in the middle is Charles, the future emperor Charles V. And the little boy cuddling up to Maximilian is his brother Ferdinand, the future emperor Ferdinand I., again identified as holy nephew and cousin. But who is the third child? Well, that is Louis, the future king Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia, son of king Vladislav II and his French wife Anne de Foix. So no close blood relation. What does he do in one of the most famous Habsburg family portraits? It must have something to do with succession and inheritance.That is indeed what we are going to talk about today. Little Louis will be the key to the creation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this agglomeration of lands centered around Austria, Czechia and Hungary that stayed or was made to stay together for nearly 400 years.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

Go to www.LearningLeader.com  This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Kat Cole is the CEO of AG1 (formerly Athletic Greens) and a renowned business leader known for a meteoric rise from Hooters waitress to Fortune 40 Under 40 executive. As former President/COO of Focus Brands (Cinnabon), she specializes in scaling global brands. Her career is defined by driving billions in sales, strategic innovation, and a strong, people-first leadership style. Key Learnings You can't market your way out of a bad product. AG1 has 3x'd the business in four years while being in only one channel (direct to consumer) for 15 years. 80% of retail is in brick and mortar, so they were doing that volume in less than 20% of where transactions happen. That only works when customers love the product, keep buying it for years, and tell their friends. Scale comes from trusted recommendations, not marketing spend. Real volume comes from people telling their friends, recommending it to their teams and companies. That's where real scale and sustainable growth comes from. Two questions guide every career decision. Is my work done here? Can someone else do what the company needs better than I can? If the answer to either is yes, that guides you toward pushing for change in your role, the way you show up, or finding the next opportunity. Sometimes the best move is the lesser-known role. Kat could have stayed running big franchise brands everyone knew (Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's), but becoming COO of the parent company, Focus Brands, was a bigger, more complex role. Lesser known, smaller team, bigger stretch, more learning. That bridged her into consumer packaged goods and got her ready for AG1. Consider financial needs, learning, and ego separately. Between financial needs, your ability to learn or contribute, and your ego or optics, there are questions you can ask yourself about a particular moment or opportunity that will help you be sharper in what you actually want versus what just looks like what's best next on the surface. The founder heard her on podcasts and asked for an introduction. AG1's founder heard Kat on a couple of podcasts, knew Sahil Bloom, and asked Sahil to make the intro. She just happened to be taking time off and had been a customer for two years. "You're interviewing for your next job every day." Whatever you do now, that choice of time, that tone of voice, that decision, how you show up or don't, creates an impact that leads to an experience and people's actions and then results. Eventually, it leads to the next thing. Showing kindness in the airport matters. A caring note to someone struggling, a teacher or stranger saying, "I see something in you," a compliment when someone's in a dark place. It helps people out of darkness. Or opportunistically, being the one who sent the email or made the ask means you're the one who got the opportunity. Don't burn bridges even when you feel wronged. When Kat was an executive at Hooters at 26, peers in their 50s and 60s would say things in meetings that weren't kind or appropriate. She would write letters expressing how it made her feel, but never sent them. She processed, reflected, and showed up professionally. Years later, those same people became advocates, partners, and references. Four key mindsets for senior leaders. Humility, curiosity, courage, and confidence. By the time candidates get to Kat, they've been vetted on technical capability. She spends time validating those four characteristics because leadership and style trickle far into the organization. Ask "if not for" questions to reveal humility. When someone tells you how they stood tall in tough moments, ask what enabled them to do those great things. They'll say, "I had access to this data, this team, this technical leader." Then ask: "If those people did not exist, if that resource did not exist, how would you have navigated that?" You peel back layers and see if they have the humility to acknowledge their success was due to critical factors. The best candidates do the job in the interview. When someone says, "If we're doing this, we'll absolutely need this person in this specific role," or they have people in mind they're bringing with them, that's a good sign. Hiring leaders who have people who are loyal to them shows something real. In reference checks, ask, "What does this person need to be successful?" It's a positive framing to get at what someone might lack or require around them to be effective. Help people answer "how should I think about this?" In a fully remote company, you have less context and fewer vibes. When you send a note about ending a product line or launching something you said you'd never launch, people's subconscious internal war is "how should I think about this?" Leaders should start communications with "here's how I think about this" or "here's how we should think about this." Sometimes the answer is to shut up and speak last. As teams get stronger, there's more weight on the few things the CEO says. Leave space for other leaders to lead. Kat removed herself from some meetings entirely because she has such great leaders and a strong culture. Pay attention to themes in criticism, not individual attacks. When competitors attack you, ask: Are there patterns? Is there something reflective of industry questions? Sometimes criticisms point to things you already do well but aren't communicating well enough. Comparison ads work short-term but don't build credibility long-term. Challenger brands use the playbook of "we're like the leader, but better/cheaper." Consumers see through it. People tell AG1, "I saw an ad comparing their product to yours, and they're clearly saying you're the leader." The rage bait is brief; the truth is long. Algorithms reward dopamine hits and rage bait. Something untrue or negatively spun can quickly become widely seen because the critique is brief and witty, but the explanation and truth are long. AG1 has more human trials on a single SKU than any other multi-ingredient product ever in the space, but that's harder to say in a sound bite. Don't criticize a car for not taking you to the moon. Someone criticized one of AG1's products for not doing something the product isn't supposed to do. When addressing criticism, clarify what the product is actually designed to do. Her husband will be the fourth person ever to row across three oceans. He's already rowed the Atlantic (set the US record as a pair) and the Caribbean. Now he's training for the Pacific. If he completes it, he'll be only the fourth person to have ever done it in the world.  It's about who you become while striving for the big thing. After her husband got rescued in the Caribbean, he questioned why he was doing this with two kids. But this pursuit is who he is, what drives him, it's inspiring for the kids, and it makes him a better person when he's home. It's about the journey and who you do it with.
