On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump's tariffs were illegal, striking a blow to his favorite geopolitical strategy. The decision could make it far harder for any president to wield tariffs as a weapon, but how will the ruling affect your wallet? Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with trade expert Lori Wallach, director of the Rethink Trade program at the American Economic Liberties Project. Lori and David unpack the weaponization of trade policy, the messy reality of tariff refunds, and who will pay — or get paid — following the court's decision.

However, open-call grant models are leveling the playing field, encouraging organizations to propose big, bold solutions that might otherwise stay under a funder's radar. In today's episode, host Josh Gryniewicz interviews Marc Moorghen from Lever for Change about the ways open calls are reshaping access to philanthropic funding. You'll learn the value of approaching major grant applications as learning opportunities, how to use expert and peer feedback to strengthen your case for support, and ways to leverage strategic storytelling to move funders to action.

Prædiken fra gudstjeneste i Broen d. 22. februar 2026Prædikant: Peter Jerup-ThiseTekster: Lukasevangeliet kap. 22,24-32––––––––Studiemateriale til prædikenen ––––––––Materialet er skrevet til brug i cellegrupper, men kan også bruges som personlig refleksion, eller sammen med en mikromakker, eller ægtefælle. START MED BØN (5 MIN)Lad en person lede en bøn og bed Helligånden om at lede, og guide jer i jeres tid sammen.CHECK-IN (15 - 20 MIN)Hvis I er en gruppe på mere end seks personer, kan det være en idé at opdele jer i grupper af tre, så der bliver bedre tid og rum for alle. Har I ikke startet aftenen med at spise sammen, kan det være en god idé at lande lidt først. Del kort med hinanden, hvad I hver især ankommer med: hvad fylder I dag – godt, skidt, arbejde, familieliv?Hjælp hinanden med at holde tiden. I kan evt. sætte en timer. TAL OM PRÆDIKENEN1) Læs teksten til prædikenen sammen: Lukasevangeliet kap. 22,24-322) Har du hørt prædikenen? Hvad lagde du særligt mærke til?3) Hvor opdager jeg i mit eget liv ønsket om at være den største?Ikke kun i de store ting, men i hverdagen: i relationer, arbejde, familie, kirke eller i mit indre tankeliv.—> Hvad afslører det om, hvad jeg længes efter?4) Hvilke blinde vinkler har jeg svært ved at anerkende hos mig selv?—> Er der mønstre af stolthed, forsvar, misundelse eller behov for anerkendelse, som jeg ofte undskylder eller bortforklarer?—>Hvad sker der i mig, når jeg bliver konfronteret med dem?5) Lever jeg grundlæggende som én, der skal fortjene, eller som én, der har modtaget?—> Hvordan præger det min måde at gå til Gud på — i bøn, gudstjeneste, nadver og skyld?—> Har jeg mere tendens til at agere som medarbejder for Gud, end som et barn, der bliver budt velkommen hjem?6) Hvor oplever jeg lige nu, at Jesus siger til mig: “sådan skal du ikke være” — og hvad beskytter han mig imod? Ikke som en hård dom, men som en kærlig befaling.—> Hvilken frihed eller heling kalder han mig ind i gennem det?7) Hvem kalder Gud mig konkret til at styrke og tjene, når jeg selv er blevet mødt af nåde?Ikke fra et sted af overlegenhed, men som én, der selv er faldet, rejst og båret.—> Hvordan kunne det se ud i denne uge?BØN (10 MIN)Bed for jer selv og for hinanden, og bed ind i de ting, I har delt med hinanden. AFSLUTNINGOplever du, at Gud minder dig om noget nu, som du har lyst til at dele? Det kan både være til dig selv og til andre i fællesskabet. Husk, at Gud bruger os som fællesskab til at opmuntre hinanden i tro.

Renegade Thinkers Unite: #2 Podcast for CMOs & B2B Marketers
Feature-and-function decks aren't winning anymore. In this episode of Renegade Marketers Unite, Drew sits down with Bob Wright (Firebrick) to break down how B2B CMOs can use positioning to drive growth, shorten sales cycles, and stand out in crowded markets. They unpack why product-first stories fail, how to get to "one voice" across the company, and what it really means to own a key business problem that buyers care about. In this episode: The three biggest positioning mistakes: product-first thinking, misalignment, and no owned problem Creating urgency when "do nothing" is the real competitor Why "why you, why now" matters more than "how it works" When and how to rethink positioning after PLG, acquisitions, or expansion How to stand out in a world of AI sameness Building positions that sales actually uses If your messaging is drifting into "blah blah blah" territory, this episode will help you reset around problems, not products.

In October, a Philadelphia man emailed an attorney for the Department of Homeland Security, criticizing a government policy. Hours later, federal agents and local police were banging on his door to interrogate him without a warrant. It feels like something out of a movie, but it's real. Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with ACLU attorney Steve Loney to ask some big questions: How are federal agencies obtaining your private data without a warrant? How are tech giants like Google enabling them? And what should you do if this happens to you? For a full transcript of the episode, click here.

If you've ever known you should be charging more but felt stuck on how to actually get clients to say yes, this episode is for you.In today's conversation, I break down Lever One of the No BS Business Model: how to increase the real and perceived value of your offer so premium pricing feels natural, aligned, and ethical. This is the first step to closing higher-priced clients without pressure, overpromising, or chasing people who “need to think about it.”If you've calculated your freedom number and realized your current pricing doesn't support the life you want, this episode will show you exactly how to bridge that gap, starting with how you position and sell your work.Tune into this episode to hear:Why simply raising your prices rarely works on its ownWhy free proposals quietly hurt your authority, positioning, and profitabilityWhy clients often don't really know what they need — and how to lead them to better outcomesHow to increase perceived and real value without adding more workWhat matters more than your online presenceResources mentioned in this episode:Get on the early readers list for Scale Solo: noBSmastery.com/bookJoin the March Bootcamp: noBSmastery.com/bootcampDownload the Freedom Calculator: noBSmastery.com/price

First up, a major change at the top for Employ Inc.—the powerhouse behind JazzHR, Lever, and Jobvite. The company has officially appointed Jerry Jao as its new CEO. Jao is a serial entrepreneur who founded the AI-powered marketing platform Retention Science. What's interesting here is that Jao isn't just a tech exec; he was actually a Lever customer for six years. He's stepping in with a "founder's mindset" to lead Employ through the GenAI era. His message? Hiring must remain "people-first," but the technology needs to move faster. Watch for Employ to lean even harder into AI innovation to help recruiters make more confident decisions without losing that human connection. https://hrtechfeed.com/employ-inc-appoints-new-ceo/ Next, let's talk about speed. hackajob just announced that its AI recruiting agent, Archer, has surpassed $1 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just 90 days. To put that in perspective, the "pre-AI" gold standard was hitting that million-dollar mark in a year—Archer did it in one quarter. Why is it winning? Because it's tackling the "crisis of trust" in hiring. Archer qualifies candidates before they even hit the ATS, verifying identity and fit to cut through the noise of AI-generated CVs. It's already boasting a 20-to-1 candidate-to-hire ratio—which is 15 times better than the industry average. Originally focused on tech, Archer is now expanding to support all knowledge-worker roles, from finance to operations. https://hrtechfeed.com/hackajob-announces-its-ai-recruiting-agent-has-surpassed-1-million-in-arr/ Moving over to the freelance world, we're seeing a massive pivot at Fiverr. In their 2025 year-end report, they revealed a "quality over quantity" strategy. While they actually lost 14% of their active buyers, the ones who stayed are spending more—average spend per buyer is up 13% to over $340. Fiverr is shifting away from the "five-dollar gig" and moving toward high-end, professional business outsourcing. They're calling 2026 a "reset year" as they re-architect the platform to be AI-native. Along with this shift, they've promoted long-time CFO Ofer Katz to President to focus on strategy and acquisitions. Meanwhile, Upwork is signaling confidence in its own value, announcing a $300 million share repurchase program. This brings their total authorizations to $600 million since late 2023. Both platforms are clearly positioning themselves as high-value enterprise partners rather than just job boards for quick tasks. https://hrtechfeed.com/fiverr-shifts-focus-to-high-end-work-as-ai-transforms-the-gig-economy-2025-results-and-2026-outlook/ https://hrtechfeed.com/upwork-announces-300-million-share-repurchase-program/ Finally, we close with the latest Appcast 2026 Recruitment Marketing Benchmark Report. The big takeaway? We are officially in the "Great Stay." It's a "low-hire, low-fire" environment. People aren't quitting, and the wage premium for job-hoppers has evaporated—it's now nearly the same as staying put. But don't let the slow movement fool you; recruiting isn't getting cheaper. The median cost-per-hire has risen to $1,053. There's a sharp divide between "sitting down" roles (like tech) where pools are crowded, and "standing up" roles (like healthcare) where costs-per-application are as high as $35.

Dell Lever 2-11 by Phil Kornblut, Chris Burgin, and Josh Cohen
Impossible de faire une course « en footing », dossards bookés un an à l'avance, volume qui explose dès la reprise… Vous vous reconnaissez ? Guillaume aussi. Ce coureur de 38 ans coche toutes les cases du coureur passionné qui en fait trop. Dans le Cabinet de Maître Yodu, il vient poser la question que beaucoup se posent : comment continuer à progresser quand le corps dit stop ? Natation, aqua-jogging, elliptique, renfo : que vaut vraiment le « cross-training » pour garder sa VO2 ? Faut-il maintenir ses dossards ou tout décaler ? Comment accepter de courir plus lentement, voire de ne pas courir du tout, sans exploser mentalement (ni sur les chips et la bière) ? Un épisode pour tous ceux qui ont du mal à accepter de freiner… et qui veulent enfin durer.

You've built the business. But if your products and services feel more complicated than they need to be, it may be time to simplify — without throwing everything out and starting again. In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, Suzi talks about why simplifying your offers is often the fastest path to clearer decisions, better systems, and sustainable growth. Suzi shares her own experience of letting go of a major revenue stream to create space for what's next — and why offering less, with more focus, hasn't made the business less profitable. If anything, it's done the opposite. This episode is for women business owners who are ready to refine, not reinvent — and who want to grow with more clarity, confidence, and support. In This Episode, Suzi Explores: Why too many offers can dilute your message and drain your energy What it really means to simplify without starting over The role of focus in creating sustainable, profitable growth Why deciding what you want people to buy first changes everything How leading with one core offer creates clarity for both you and your clients Practical ways to review and streamline what you offer How simplifying can support your ideal lifestyle Simplifying your products and services isn't about doing less for the sake of it — it's about creating clarity. When you decide what matters most and let go of what no longer fits, you create space to grow.

While one tech CEO warns that artificial intelligence could “destroy all life on Earth,” other industry giants have declared war on rules that could limit AI's power. Their battlefield? The 2026 midterm elections. In Part Three of What Tech Wants, Lever Time's investigation into why Silicon Valley is buying our democracy, producer Ariella Markowitz explores Big Tech's latest obsession — artificial intelligence — and its crusade against anyone who stands in its way.

This is about the Millrose Games, but it's also not about the Millrose Games. We promise you are going to love it. As usual, they start with some life updates including an update on Des's training for MDS (Marathon de Sables). She gives us a little BTS on prepping for the pack she will carry during the race. There is a weight vest involved so she can prepare for the supplies she will bring en route. It's a self-supported race after all. This might mean that Des finally does some strength work, and Kara volunteers to be here personal accountability partner on that. Someone check the Vegas odds! Kara shares some beta on Millrose travel and time in NYC with Colt, and then they get into the fun details of the meet itself. There is talk of the results, but there is also so much more. They break down results from the key races and also give BTS on the production meeting, Kara's make-up, Sonya's return to the booth, that ONE particular commercial, and Colt's Millrose escapades meeting all of the athletes. They talk about the meet as only they can. Finally, they end with a teaser on the winter Olympics and their podcast with Sara Spain, before ending with a top 5.

It's been three years since a Norfolk Southern “bomb train” carrying toxic chemicals derailed in the small town of East Palestine, Ohio, on the night of Feb. 3, 2023. Three days later, Norfolk Southern pressured local authorities to make the disastrous and completely unnecessary decision to vent five giant carloads of vinyl chloride into a ditch and set the contents on fire, releasing a massive chemical plume into the air, exposing residents in East Palestine and the surrounding areas to deadly toxins in one of the worst industrial disasters in US history. Three years later, residents are still getting sick, many have been financially ruined, they have been abandoned by their government and Norfolk Southern, and forgotten by the public. And, as Katya Schwenk details in a blockbuster new report for The Lever, residents are still waiting for the restitution they were promised from the $600 million settlement that Norfolk Southern agreed to pay to resolve residents' class-action lawsuit over the derailment.Guest:Katya Schwenk is a journalist based in Phoenix, AZ, and a reporter for The Lever. Her reporting and essays have appeared in The Intercept, the Baffler, the American Prospect, and elsewhere.Additional links/info: Katya Schwenk, The Lever / The Real News Network, “Three years later, life in East Palestine, Ohio, is still derailed”Maximillian Alvarez, The Real News Network, “America's toxic future looks like East Palestine, Ohio, today”Credits:Audio Post-Production: Alina NehlichBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

This episode is a fun one because it contains a big announcement about the future of of the pod. Spoiler alert... Brooks is involved (if the episode title didn't give it away). Drum roll please... Brooks will continue their presenting sponsorship of Nobody Asked Us through at least LA 2028! To celebrate, we bring on Garrett Heath who is the head of sports marketing for Brooks to talk about the partnership. Des and Kara are excited to be together for this one at Brooks HQ. Before Garrett joins, they start by giving some love to Minnesota and the challenges that the community is facing there. They hope that compassion can rule the day - more of that please - and that this pod can be a fun/light respite from the news. They give short life updates and talk a little about the indoor results from the weekend. Indoor track is back and things are already fast and spicy! Then, they bring on Garrett. He gives you a background on his running (and skiing) career. He grew up in Minnesota, was NOT recruited by Kara's alma mater CU, but did have an amazing career at Stanford before signing with Brooks as a pro. He's worked his way up at Brooks and is now head of sports marketing. Garrett shares some fun stories of his running past (beating some of the all-time greats) and then gives you some behind-the-scenes intel on sports marketing and how Brooks chooses and partners with athletes. Plus, he tells you why Brooks is exciting to support the pod with some previews of fun/new stuff coming in 2026. If that's not enough to buy some Brooks shoes, then we don't know what is! Finally, they finish with a Lever uplifting Top 5, where they also announce a fun Lever contest. You could win one! See details at the contest link below!
