Podcasts about Lost in Translation

From learning Mandarin with nothing but a notebook and a pen on the streets of Wuhan to losing $650,000 of his own money before ever raising outside capital, Sean Weisbrot shares hard-won lessons on cross-cultural dealmaking, bootstrapping versus fundraising, and why LinkedIn visibility now matters for founders and their teams. Sean is the founder of SparkVox, a tool that turns content executive teams are already creating into LinkedIn posts in their own voice, and the host of We Live to Build, a podcast with roughly 235,000 subscribers and more than 320 interviews with seven and eight figure brand owners. He has helped create over $100 million in value across his network and generated more than $15 million in revenue for his own businesses, all while living in China, Vietnam, and now Portugal. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: You'll discover how a single misstep with a business card or a signing pen can cost a deal before it starts, why 320 founder interviews convinced Sean that bootstrapped founders tend to be happier than funded ones, and how a $400,000 gap between what one investor promised and delivered helped sink his last company. Sean also explains how he now runs a business on roughly $50 a month using AI, and why he believes every founder and executive needs a visible presence on LinkedIn. SEAN'S JOURNEY: Sean had no entrepreneurial role model growing up. What moved him was a pull to leave the US, and after missing a deadline for a teaching program in Japan, he landed in China instead and stayed for ten years, learning Mandarin street vendor by street vendor with a notebook and a pen. His first real deal came in 2016, connecting an American founder with a Chinese investor for a $150,000 raise and earning a $7,500 commission. From there he built a $15 million consulting business helping Chinese and Western companies raise money from each other in the blockchain space. His next venture, a tech company built to compete with Slack, taught him a harder lesson. He put in $650,000 of his own money before raising a $1 million seed round, and a $400,000 shortfall from one investor became a major factor in the company's failure. COVID and a divorce followed, which is part of what led him to Portugal for a fresh start. KEY INSIGHTS: Deal culture varies sharply across countries, down to details like how a business card is received. Corey shared a parallel story about a 1980s deal that nearly stalled at signing over missing ceremonial pens. Founder happiness tracks closely with how a company was funded. Across 320-plus interviews, Sean found bootstrapped founders were generally happier than those who raised capital. A funding gap can sink a company as fast as a bad decision can, as Sean's own $400,000 shortfall proved. AI has collapsed the cost of running a business. Sean's infrastructure now costs about $50 a month, down from roughly $1,000 a month at his last company. Visibility has become a gatekeeper for access, with investors now expecting founders to be active on LinkedIn before they'll even take a call. Perfect for founders weighing whether to bootstrap or raise capital, business leaders working across cultures on deals, and anyone trying to build an authentic presence on LinkedIn.

Don't stress over parenting advice, as much of it is based on clickbait, panic, and outdated science.In this episode, we hear from science journalists and experts Melinda Wenner Moyer, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, Jacqueline Nesi in a conversation with Emily on how to spot actual, trustworthy parenting guidance amid all the online noise.Dismantling the myth of the "one-size-fits-all" approach, they explain why classic research was always meant to be flexible and why anyone claiming there is only one right way is usually just selling something. You'll also learn about the deep flaws in historical parenting studies and what modern research is getting right, as well as the viral panic surrounding screen time, extreme media narratives, and the real risks AI companions pose to kids' emotional growth. If you'd appreciate a reassuring, reality-based sanity check on modern parenting so you can tune out the fear and focus on what actually works for your family, tune in for this episode on Parenting Science in the Media.Listen and Learn: How parenting advice moved past simple "good vs. bad" rules to look at how things like culture, environment, and everyday context actually shape what works Calling out rigid parenting advice, spotting the red flags, and breaking down why real child science actually depends on the contextBiases in parenting science and leaning into "goodness of fit" to figure out what actually works for your specific kid How nuanced, multi-method science often gets distorted by media algorithms and fear-based messaging and how to spot misleading science headlines How kids are actively using AI, why vulnerable or unfulfilled kids are most at risk of over-dependence, and how parents can guide their children through open communication rather than strict bans Positive trends in youth resilience and self-control, how modern parenting shifts drive these improvements, and why adults in every generation fall victim to the cognitive bias that "kids these days" are doomed Resources:  jacquelinenesi.com melindawennermoyer.com https://www.tracydennistiwary.com/ technosapiens.substack.com https://tracydennistiwary.substack.com melindawmoyer.substack.com.

Our birthday getaway to Cancun was supposed to begin with champagne and celebration—but instead it turned into one of the most unbelievable travel nightmares we've ever experienced. We take everyone behind the scenes of the chaos that started before sunrise when American Airlines canceled our original flight, rebooked us multiple times, changed our gates over and over again, and somehow managed to make an already stressful travel day even more unbelievable. Then came the moment that changed everything. Inside a temporary American Airlines Admirals Club, what should have been a quiet place to regroup quickly became the center of an uncomfortable confrontation with an employee whose behavior left us feeling shocked, intimidated and completely blindsided. We share exactly what happened, why airport police were called, and why even other employees appeared uncomfortable with the situation unfolding around us. Just when we thought the drama was finally behind us, things somehow got worse. We reveal why another Admirals Club refused to let us inside before even hearing our side of the story, how one incredible American Airlines flight attendant completely restored our faith in customer service, and why she encouraged us to publicly share our experience. But the surprises didn't stop there. After finally landing in beautiful Cancun to celebrate Patrik's birthday, we discovered our luggage had somehow been sent to Dallas instead of Mexico, forcing us to postpone photo shoots and spend the first days of our vacation without our belongings. Then came another shocking twist when we almost became victims of a transportation scam at Cancun International Airport that could have cost travelers hundreds of dollars if they weren't paying attention. Along the way we share hilarious moments, laugh through the madness, celebrate SnowWhite90210 traveling like the little VIP she is, and remind ourselves that sometimes the craziest travel disasters become the funniest stories later. This episode is packed with outrageous airport drama, unbelievable customer service stories, travel tips every flyer should know, behind-the-scenes birthday chaos, and proof that even when everything goes wrong, the adventure somehow becomes unforgettable.

Send us Fan MailNobody sets out to build a broken system. Every tool your organization is running was the right call the day it was purchased. Someone fought for the budget, ran the validation, and trained the team. And they were right.But the work still doesn't flow.In this episode of Lean by Design, Oscar Gonzalez and Lawrence Wong explore what happens in the space between your systems — the gap that isn't empty, but filled with people. Analysts, coordinators, and scientists spending their afternoons exporting files, reformatting data, and re-keying numbers into a slide deck for a Thursday meeting. People who have quietly become the integration layer their organization never designed.The conversation unpacks what it really costs when tools don't talk to each other: the data that gets lost in translation, the rework that never shows up on a budget line, and the growing frustration of teams who can't get a straight answer to the most basic question — what's the right data?Oscar and Lawrence dig into why this happens — from procurement systems that don't connect to maintenance platforms, to IT contracts that outlast their usefulness, to the reality that as organizations grow, nobody stops to ask whether the tech stack still makes sense. Research shows that 86% of IT leaders say unintegrated tools are adding more complexity than value, and teams are burning nearly 30% of their technical time hand-building integrations that should never have been manual in the first place.This episode is not about which tools to buy or whether to build versus integrate. It's about recognizing that the space between your systems is not a technical problem — it's an ownership problem. And until someone decides to own the gap, people will keep filling it.

Reggie questions if Imai's interpreter is giving the full story, leading to a funny debate about what could be getting lost in translation.

This episode was intended to be a grab-bag of different topics, but we inadvertently dug up a show with a strong theme: translation!We start off with a review of the hot-off-the-presses free magazine Small Planet, which discusses issues around translated science fiction. Even if you didn't know you were interested in languages and translating, you will be after you've heard our discussion.Next we review the classic short film "La Jetée", famously the basis for the film 12 Monkeys. And then the recent Chinese movie Resurrection, directed by Bi Gan.We also have a quiz on SF terms, and our usual run through of recommendations of past, present and future SF. If you'd like to support the show, don't forget you can buy us a coffee!For the full shownotes, check out our blog, here: https://101sf.blogspot.com/2026/07/lost-in-translation-episode-67.html

What comes to mind when you hear the word worship? For many people, it's music, singing, or a Sunday morning service. But worship is much bigger than a song list or a musical style. In this episode of Lost in Translation, we explore what the Bible actually means by worship and discover how worship is not merely something we attend—it's a life lived in response to the worthiness of God. Join us as we unpack one of Christianity's most common words and one of its most misunderstood practices.

Ep. 38 - Fade In & CatchfireThis week, we're facing our past regrets and disowned creations with Jud Taylor's Fade In (1973) and Dennis Hopper's Catchfire (1990). These films represent the absolute limit of corporate interference, operating as flawed, compromised monuments to the nightmare of the studio system. We look at how Jud Taylor's western romance gets completely lost in translation, and how Dennis Hopper legally scrubs his identity from a star-studded thriller. It is a double feature about the high cost of creative compromise, the fragility of structural conventions, and the remnants of pure authorship that persist under duress. Whether it is a studio executive altering a film beyond recognition or a director completely abandoning their own project, both films suggest that when commerce wins, the true story gets buried.

What if understanding one biblical word could change everything about your relationship with God? In the comic strip Peanuts, Lucy fears a thunderstorm might flood the world, but Linus reassures her by explaining God's promise to Noah and the rainbow as a guarantee. Lucy says Linus has really reassured her, and Linus says, “Sound theology has a way of doing that.” Indeed, the church desperately needs sound theology today, especially about salvation—what the entire Bible is all about. In our “Lost in Translation” series, we're defining key biblical words that many Christians don't really understand. Today's topic emerges in Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, a highly religious Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council, to whom Jesus delivered a shocking message: “You must be born again.” This conversation reveals where salvation begins—with regeneration, the miracle where God gives spiritually dead people spiritual life.

A conversation with Dr. Jennifer Bute What small changes can we make to improve our healthcare system?For Dr. Jennifer Bute, it's about improving the way we use communication - both in clinical settings, in training, and particularly: in health insurance denials.Dr. Bute is a professor of Communication Studies at Indiana University, Indianapolis, who studies how people navigate health challenges through communication.After her son was repeatedly denied surgery, she realised the scope of this issue: unclear terminology from insurers, arms-length appeals processes, and exclusionary time commitments.The toll is psychological, practical, financial… we don't need to accept this reality.—We spoke about her lived experience of receiving a denial, how that ignited her mission, her experience using communication and translation to enhance healthcare delivery, how patients can better support and educate themselves during denial situations, and why she ultimately believes it's time for change.Follow me on Instagram and Facebook @ericfethkemd and checkout my website at www.EricFethkeMD.com.

The $1.4M Pricing Gap Most Owners Never Find with Emily Bowie   Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com  or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/   You pull up the P&L at the end of the month. Profit looks fine. Revenue is up. And you still moved money around to cover payroll. You're not mismanaging your business. You're making decisions off an incomplete report, and nobody told you what it was missing. Emily Bowie spent years auditing companies inside Big Four accounting before she started helping business owners see past the P&L. What she finds most often isn't bad decisions. It's good decisions made without the right numbers. Pricing set without overhead accounted for. Subscriptions compounding unnoticed for years. Tax strategy that arrived in December, too late to do anything that actually mattered.   In This Episode: Why the P&L leaves out some of the most important cash movements in your business The $1.4M pricing gap one owner never knew was costing him, and how Emily found it How to run a quarterly expense audit and what it reliably turns up Why your bookkeeper, CPA, and CFO need to talk to each other, not through you The real cash cost of the "go buy something for the tax deduction" advice What Profit First actually protects you from beyond just saving money Why personal financial stability determines how clearly you can think about your business   Key Takeaways: Your P&L does not show loan principal payments or balance sheet movements. Cash flow visibility requires a different lens. Pricing without overhead math costs real money on every invoice. One client had $1.4M in recoverable margin sitting uncaptured in a single year. Quarterly expense audits surface subscriptions you've forgotten, monthly plans that cost more than annual options, and tools you stopped using that are still billing. If you are the only person relaying information between your bookkeeper, CPA, and CFO, things are getting lost in translation. They need to talk to each other directly. A year-end "buy something" tax move often costs three to four times the tax saved in cash drag over the following months.   About Emily Bowie: Emily Bowie is a Cash Flow Strategist with 15+ years of experience, including her time as an audit manager in Big Four accounting. She's known for bringing calm, clarity, and structure to financial conversations that often feel stressful or avoided. Outside of Thorne Advisors, Emily leads her church's financial ministry, is a mom to three young kids, and enjoys a good DIY project almost as much as a well-organized set of financials.   Links: Website: https://www.thorneadvisors.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thorneadvisors/   Freebie: 5 Cash Leaks & 5 Missed Tax Deductions: https://www.thorneadvisors.com/cashleaks     Profit Blueprint Calculator I Profit Comes First: https://lp.profitcomesfirst.com/profitblueprintcalc-page   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Hi. How are you? This is Guilherme back with another episode of the Inglês Diário podcast. Hope you are all having a great week!Today, we are going to talk about what happens when we try to translate things from Portuguese to English from the top of our heads. Sometimes, it works. But other times... things get completely lost in translation.Let me give you a classic example. In Brazil, when someone makes a mistake, forgets an important favor, or disappoints a friend, we use a very famous expression. We say that the person "pisou na bola."Now, if you go to the United States or England and you look at your friend and say, "Hey man, I'm sorry, I stepped on the ball," they are going to look down at your feet! They will look around and say, "What ball? Are we playing soccer?" It makes absolutely no sense to them.So, how do we express this exact same feeling in English? Well, interestingly enough, the first expression I want to teach you today also uses a ball. But in English, you don't step on it. You drop it. The expression is to drop the ball.Drop the ball. D-R-O-P, the ball.Think about American football or baseball. If a player throws the ball to their teammate, and the teammate opens his hands but the ball falls to the ground... he dropped the ball. He made a mistake and lost the play.In everyday life, to drop the ball means to fail to do your job, to forget a responsibility, or to make a careless mistake. Let's say I was responsible for bringing the birthday cake to a party. I get to the party, look at my empty hands, and realize I forgot the cake at home. I can say, "Oh my gosh, guys, I am so sorry. I really dropped the ball on this one." I made a mistake. I failed my responsibility.And when you drop the ball, there is usually a consequence, right? People get sad or disappointed. And that brings us to our second expression: to let someone down.To let someone down. Let, L-E-T, down, D-O-W-N.When you let someone down, you disappoint them. They were expecting something good from you, they trusted you, but you didn't deliver. You let their expectations fall down. Going back to our cake example: because I dropped the ball and forgot the birthday cake, I really let the birthday girl down. She was expecting a cake, and I disappointed her.These two go together perfectly. You drop the ball (you make the mistake), and because of that, you let someone down (you disappoint them). Next time you want to say "pisei na bola", remember: don't step on it! Drop it.So, my question for you today is: When was the last time you dropped the ball? Did you forget to pay a bill? Did you forget a friend's birthday? And did you let anyone down because of it?Leave a comment telling me your story. See you next time, bye!

What do Christians mean when they say someone needs to “get saved” or “come to Jesus”? These phrases are common in churches, but they often raise a deeper question: Saved from what? In this episode of Lost in Translation, we explore the biblical meaning of repentance and salvation, uncover what Scripture says about our greatest need, and discover why the Gospel is far more than self-improvement or religious activity. If you've ever wondered what it truly means to be saved, this episode is for you.

It's Lost in Translation time.  We're going down under for this installment, with a series that really pushed the envelope in Australia for most of the 70s, but barely made a whimper in the United States.  Was it because the American version didn't have the edginess?  Was it due to scheduling?  Could there have been too much going on?  Could it have been due to similar but more popular shows on other networks?  (Yes times four.)

Christians use phrases like “ask Jesus into your heart” and “give your life to Christ” all the time. But what do those expressions actually mean? Are they found in the Bible? And how do they relate to foundational biblical concepts like grace, faith, and salvation? In the first episode of our Lost in Translation series, we explore some of Christianity's most common phrases and uncover the biblical truths they aim to convey. Whether you're new to the faith or have been in church for years, this conversation will help you better understand what it means to truly follow Jesus.

A sermon preached by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC, May 31, 2026, First Sunday after Pentecost, Confirmation Sunday. "We Know Who We Are"series. Texts: Genesis 1:26-2:3; Ephesians 2:4–10 There are some words in scripture that change everything. Not because they're long or unusual. But because they turn the whole story in a different direction. Today's passage contains two of those words: “But God.” Before we can appreciate those words, we need to know what precedes them. In the first 3 verses of Ephesians 2, Paul reminds the church in Ephesus of their old ways of being. The direct translation from the Greek is convoluted and confusing, but Eugene Peterson's interpretation from The Message helps us get the point: “It wasn't so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn't know the first thing about living, tell you how to live…We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It's a wonder God didn't lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us.” And then…. “But God…” The old story gets interrupted. It moves in a new direction. Which is good news because most of us know something about stories that seem stuck in a rut. Maybe you've carried shame for something you did years ago. Maybe you've convinced yourself that some part of your life is beyond repair. Maybe you've spent so long trying to prove your worth that you've forgotten who you are underneath all the striving. Maybe you've watched the news lately and wondered whether cruelty and greed and fear are simply winning. The story goes one way. But God… That little phrase shows up all over scripture. Human beings build a tower to heaven. But God. Sarah is too old. But God. The sea is in front of them. Pharaohs army is behind them. But God. The disciples lock themselves in a room because they are terrified. But God. The cross stands on a hill outside Jerusalem. But God. Mary Magdalene despaired at the tomb. But God. Again and again, scripture insists that God is never limited by the stories we tell ourselves about what is possible. What a gift. Because one of the stories many of us carry is the story that we have to earn our way. This is so ingrained in our culture and mindset. We learn that story early. We learn it from grades and report cards. From performance reviews. From comparisons. From all the subtle ways the world teaches us to keep score. We absorb these lessons so deeply that eventually we begin to assume that God works this way too. God helps those who help themselves. God rewards the faithful. God blesses the deserving. God keeps score. But this is precisely the story Paul is trying to undo. Our temptation to slide into the world's quid pro quo economy isn't new. And in these few verses, Paul takes pains to refute it—not with an abstract argument, but by showing us, phrase by phrase, who God is and how grace works. So let's move through the text together and listen deeply to the word. Notice where Paul begins. “But God, who is rich in mercy...” Rich in mercy. Before Paul says anything about us, he says something about God. After describing the sorry, lost state of humanity, Paul doesn't say, “But we finally figured it out.” He doesn't say, “But we repented.” He doesn't say, “But we became more faithful.” He doesn't say, “But we got serious about our spiritual lives.” He says, “But God.” The turning point of the story is not a change in us. It is a revelation of who God is. “But God, who is rich in mercy...” Paul could have said simply, “God is merciful.” He doesn't. He says God is plousios (πλούσιος)—in the Greek: rich, abundant, lavish—in mercy. Possessing more mercy than we can imagine. This is so important! Because most of us have been trained to think in terms of scarcity. There's never enough time or money or security or opportunity. There is not enough to go around. There are only so many slices of any pie. And if we're not careful, we start to imagine that God's resources are limited too. Limited patience. Limited forgiveness. Limited love. Limited welcome. Only so many second chances. As though mercy were something God has to budget carefully. As though grace might run out. As though God were standing over us with a ledger, keeping score, calculating whether we've finally earned another chance. But Paul says, “Nope. That's not who God is.” Mercy is not scarce in God. Mercy is abundant in God. God's mercy is not pie—and there's not limited supply! Mercy flows from God as naturally as light from the sun. And lest we miss the point, Paul piles on another phrase: “Out of the great love with which God loved us.” It's almost as though he can't find enough words—mercy, love, grace, kindness. The language keeps overflowing because Paul is trying to describe a reality that exceeds ordinary human calculation. The world understands transaction. But God operates through grace. And perhaps that is why grace is so difficult for us to receive. We know how to earn. We know what it takes to achieve. We know the way to keep score. Many of us have spent our entire lives trying to prove that we are worthy of love, worthy of belonging, worthy of respect, worthy of a place at the table. And some versions of Christianity have reinforced exactly that impulse. Behave yourself and God will bless you. Believe the right things and God will reward you. Get your life together and God will finally accept you. Or the flip side: Mess up and God will punish you. Doubt and God will reject you. Fail and God will turn away. But Paul will have none of it. “By grace you have been saved.” Grace! We are not saved by following the rules or checking the boxes or through achievement or merit. The story isn't about keeping score or about earned interest and love averages. “By grace you have been saved.” Grace. One of the most beautiful insights of the United Methodist movement is that grace starts earlier than we think it does. We tend to imagine that grace begins the moment we become aware of God. But John Wesley said no. Grace was already there. We think grace begins when we decide to follow Jesus. Wesley said no. Grace was already there. We think grace begins when we repent. Wesley said no. Grace was already there. Before faith, grace. Before understanding, grace. Before discipleship, grace. Before baptism, grace. Before confirmation, grace. Long before we know how to pray, grace is already making a way toward us. Long before we know God's name, God knows ours. United Methodists call this prevenient grace—the grace that goes before. The grace that is always preceding us, drawing us, inviting us, wooing us toward life. And I don't know about you, but I find that to be astonishingly good news. Because it means that the story of faith begins not with our searching for God, but with God's refusal to stop searching for us. But Paul isn't finished. He goes further, saying God “made us alive together with Christ.” Alive—not merely forgiven or a little nicer. Alive. This is resurrection language. It is creation language. It's the language of new possibility. This strikes me as especially powerful in a world where so many people are exhausted and carrying grief. Where so many people are overwhelmed by the state of the world and struggling simply to keep their hearts open. Paul speaks a pastoral word into our lives, assuring us that grace is not merely about doing more today to get into heaven someday. Grace is the power that makes us alive right now. Alive to God. Alive to beauty. Alive to joy. Alive to compassion. Alive to possibility and hope. And there is something else here that often gets lost in translation. Paul doesn't say that God made me alive. He says God made us alive. The language throughout this passage is communal. Every “you” in the text is plural. It's not about me; it's about we. Which means the story is not simply about God saving isolated individuals. It is about God creating a people. A community. A new humanity. People shaped not by fear, scarcity, or competition, but rather shaped by grace, abundance, and love. Today, a group of young people will stand before us to profess their faith. And what moves me every year is that confirmation is not fundamentally about private belief. It is about belonging. These young people are not simply saying, “I believe.” They are saying, “This is my people. This is the community in which I will learn what it means to follow Jesus.” And we are saying, “We need you. Your voice, your gifts, your questions, your presence will continue to shape who we become.” Because grace doesn't merely gather individuals. Grace creates a people. Paul addresses this in what he says next. “We are what God has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works...” The Greek word translated here as “what God has made” is poiēma (ποίημα). It's where we get the word poem. You could translate it: We are God's handiwork. God's artistry. God's creative work. And suddenly the echo of Genesis comes into view. The God who formed creation, breathed life into dust, and called it good is still creating, still forming, still calling beauty forth from chaos and light from darkness. We spend so much of our lives trying to make ourselves. Trying to prove ourselves. Trying to justify ourselves. Trying to become enough. Paul says we are not self-made. We are God-made. We are God's handiwork, God's poem. God's art. God's ongoing project. And we are already enough—even as we keep learning and growing. Now, at this point, some people get nervous. If grace is this abundant, if salvation is truly a gift, if God's love comes before we earn it and before we deserve it, then what keeps us from simply doing whatever we want? Paul is clear that we don't earn our salvation. And he is equally clear that God created us for good works. Good works are not the cause of salvation, they are the fruit of salvation, evidence that grace is alive and active within us. Or to put it another way: God doesn't love us because we do good things. We begin to do good things because we have encountered the love of God. Grace is not an excuse to do nothing. Grace is an invitation to participate in what God is doing in the world. Grace is bigger than we think. It is not merely a drop of help when we're struggling or a nudge of encouragement when we're discouraged. It is not a small boost for the spiritual journey. It is the power of God's mercy and love constantly interrupting the stories that diminish life and opening up new possibilities we could never create on our own. And because grace is bigger than we think, it keeps interrupting the stories that tell us life can only go one way. The world says there isn't enough. But God is rich in mercy. The world says you have to earn your place. But God saves by grace. The world says shame gets the last word. But God is great in love. The world says what is dead is dead. But God makes us alive. The world says you're on your own. But God makes us alive together. The world says this is all there is. But God is still creating. Still shaping. Still calling life from dust. Still making all things new. The story was going one way. But God. Thanks be to God. Amen. + + + Keep a daily grace log. At the end of each day, ask: Where did I experience a “But God” moment today? Where did grace go before me? Where did mercy, love, beauty, hope, community, or possibility interrupt the story I expected?

In this episode, the we welcome back guest host, Dr. Neelou Weeker, and ED nurse, Leigh Clary, to discuss the critical intersection of language barriers, patient equity, and emergency care. Through two powerful clinical scenarios, the team explores the “gold standards” of medical translation, the challenges of resource-limited community settings, and how TeamSTEPPS tools—specifically closed-loop communication and situational monitoring—can be leveraged to ensure true informed consent and patient safety. The Gold Standard vs. Clinical Reality Providing equitable care means ensuring every patient, regardless of language or culture, fully understands their medical team. While academic centers are often highly resourced, executing communication seamlessly remains a universal challenge. 1. Translation Tools and Hierarchy The Gold Standard: Video- or audio-based professional interpretation tablets allow face-to-face or direct vocal translation. The Secondary Backup: In-house dual-handset “blue phones” connect directly to professional phone lines when tablets experience connectivity issues. The Tertiary Backup: Multilingual staff members can help act as a bridge. Many institutions feature language fluencies on staff ID badges. Note: Staff members should only be used to establish initial rapport or identify the required dialect, not as official medical interpreters. The Danger of Family Interpreters: While family members bring invaluable cultural context and an understanding of the patient’s baseline, studies show they only correctly interpret medical dialogue 19% of the time. The Bottom Line: Always utilize the official route first. When technology fails, do your absolute best—never settle for “good enough” when better communication is possible. 2. Academic vs. Community and Rural Settings Emergency medicine requires extreme adaptability. In resource-limited community or rural hospitals, finding an interpreter for less commonly spoken languages can take upwards of 30 minutes. Physicians must sometimes physically carry translation phones from room to room while managing other patients just to maintain an open line with a rare-dialect interpreter. Applying TeamSTEPPS to Patient Communication We routinely use TeamSTEPPS tools to communicate with our fellow clinicians, but we must remember that the patient is the most important member of the healthcare team. 1. Closed-Loop Communication & The Teach-Back Method To confirm true patient understanding, avoid simple “yes or no” questions, nods, or smiles. Instead, utilize the Teach-Back Method, requiring the patient to repeat the instructions or choices back to you in their own words. How to Phrase It (Taking Responsibility): “I want to make sure that I have been clear in what I’ve said to you. To help me feel reassured that I communicated everything correctly, could you tell me what you understand is going on?” Clinical Value: This is particularly vital for high-stakes decisions and ED discharge instructions. Multimodal Approach: In high-stakes moments, combine professional translation, family context, and teach-back to minimize errors. 2. Situational Monitoring Resuscitative environments are chaotic, and the primary physician trying to run a cod or secure an airway has immense cognitive load. The Team Safety Net: Other team members (nurses, techs, scribes) can help monitor the situation and catch critical communication errors. Reconciling Clinical Urgency with Informed Consent How do you balance the immediate need to save a life with the time-consuming process of formal translation? The ABC Priority: First and foremost, secure Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. If a patient presents to the ED in extremis and cannot communicate, clinicians must operate under the assumption that the patient wants life-saving measures performed. Task Delegation: While the medical team manages the immediate ABCs, immediately task support staff (such as social workers) with finding an official interpreter, locating family members, and gathering background information. Next Steps: Once the ABCs are stable, the team has the time and space to pause, establish formal translation, and dive deeper into informed consent for further procedures. Key Takeaways Acknowledge the Bias of Urgency: Time pressure can tempt us to bypass official translation channels. Guard against this by maintaining an equity-first mindset. Close the Loop with Patients: Ensure they can paraphrase their care plan or consent choices. Protect the Team via Shared Roles: Trust your teammates to monitor the big picture and catch subtle communication gaps during high-stress resuscitations. Do you use TeamSTEPPS or a similar model in your ED? We'd love to hear what has been successful for your team.

Why do some hearts surrender to the truth while others resist it, even when they recognise it?In this episode of Quran Conversations, we are joined by Ustadh Fahd Yasin. Ustadh Fahd Yasin has been studying Quranic/Classical Arabic for the past decade. He has received ijazas (certifications) in Tajwid and grammar, and he is certified in Quranic Arabic linguistics. His current interests are in Quranic Analysis, Arabic Grammar, Rhetoric, Tazkiyah, and Tafsir. He has been a Quranic Arabic instructor at Fawakih Institute for the past 5 years. Ustadh Fahd Yasin is passionate about spreading Quranic linguistics to all of his students and everyone he meets! He wishes for everyone to experience the Light of the Quran and taste of the Quran's Secrets, Nuances, and Linguistic Subtleties.Dalia Mogahed and Ustadh Fahd Yasin reflect on Surah TaHa, ayah 105, exploring the destruction of the mountains on the Day of Judgment and the deeper meanings hidden within the Qur'an's precise language.What begins as a linguistic discussion unfolds into something far more personal: a reflection on certainty, ego, accountability, and the condition of the human heart. Why did the Qur'an choose mountains as its symbol? Why did the Quraysh feel so threatened by the Qur'an? And what separates the people who surrender to truth from those who fight against it?This episode explores how the Qur'an challenges the very things we rely on for stability and security, reminding us that even the mountains will one day disappear like dust.In this episode, you will learn:

In "The 2026 M&A Rebound: Why Logistics is Primed for a Banner Year with Logisyn's CEO Ron Lentz", Joe Lynch and Ron Lentz, CEO of Logisyn Advisors, discuss how $4 trillion in untapped capital and industry consolidation are driving a major wave of logistics exits.

The company has a proven track record of advising executives navigating the M&A process and is actively engaged with leading companies across the logistics industry. Key Takeaways: The 2026 M&A Rebound: Why Logistics is Primed for a Banner Year In "The 2026 M&A Rebound: Why Logistics is Primed for a Banner Year with Logisyn's CEO Ron Lentz", Joe Lynch and Ron Lentz, CEO of Logisyn Advisors, discuss how $4 trillion in untapped capital and industry consolidation are driving a major wave of logistics exits. The Power of "Logistics-First" Specialization: Unlike "industry agnostic" investment banks, Logisyn only hires former operators who understand the intricate day-to-day realities of the supply chain. Ron emphasizes that a generalist banker can cause a "generalist penalty," where the unique operational value and specialized assets of a logistics firm are lost in translation during a deal. The $4 Trillion "Dry Powder" Catalyst: A massive driver for the 2026 rebound is the estimated $4 trillion in global private equity "dry powder." Much of this is older capital that firms must "use or lose," creating a high-pressure environment for acquisitions in fragmented markets like transportation. The "Six Ps" of Market Readiness: Ron lives by the mantra: Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Success requires "staging the house" by cleaning up these financials 12–24 months before an exit. Asset-Based Logistics is Primed for a Bull Run: While freight brokerage is facing a "leaner and meaner" period due to AI and fee transparency, Ron is incredibly bullish on asset-based carriers. As driver shortages persist and capital costs for equipment remain high, those who actually control the trucks will hold the most leverage in the coming year. Cultural Compatibility is the #1 Deal Killer: Citing PWC data, Ron highlights that cultural alignment is the primary reason mergers succeed or fail. For entrepreneurs, selling isn't just a financial transaction; it's "giving up their baby." A successful M&A advisor acts as much as a counselor as a banker to ensure the legacy remains intact. The "Jigsaw Puzzle" Strategy for Buyers: Strategic acquisitions in 2026 are moving away from simple "growth for growth's sake." Buyers are looking for specific "jigsaw pieces"—such as a niche cold chain specialty in the Southeast or a robust tech stack—to create a "pure play" offering that doesn't require a "fixer-upper" effort. The Death of the "Country Club" Broker: The complexity of modern logistics—from AI-driven RFPs to real-time WMS integration—means owners can no longer rely on a general business broker or a "golfing buddy" to sell their company. To maximize the 8x to 10x multiples, founders need advisors who can navigate the deep-dive diligence of tech-savvy private equity buyers.

Lost in Translation

While compiling the Oxford English Dictionary, lexicographer James Murray exchanged hundreds of letters a week with authors, advisors, and volunteer researchers. A new collection online lets you eavesdrop on discussions about which words should be in the dictionary and why — including words that might offend Victorian sensibilities. Also why are some words more pleasurable to say than others? And: the German saying that means “If Grandma had wheels, she'd be a bus.” Did something get lost in translation? Plus, an alliterative brain teaser, ovoviviparous, wasper, crack shot, the dessert called buckle, the best term for an adult child, disdainful words for weak coffee, the kind of hairpin I am, proctor vs. proctologist, the smoky jungle frog otherwise known as Leptodactylus pentadactylus, and lots more.

Elizabeth Berget joins the podcast to explore the maternal heart of God — tracing how the Hebrew word rakum, often translated simply as "compassionate," is linguistically rooted in the word for womb, and what it means that God reaches for that word first when describing himself to Israel. The conversation moves through pregnancy, labor, and the crucifixion, the theology of secure attachment, what scripture's birth language reveals about salvation, and why expanding our image of God isn't a departure from orthodox Christianity but a return to something ancient that's largely been lost in translation.ELIZABETH BERGET is a speaker and author of Love like a Mother: How the Sacred Work of Motherhood Reveals the Maternal Heart of God. Her work has appeared in Christianity Today, Coffee + Crumbs, Mothering Spirit, and other online spaces where mothers gather to find meaning in the mundane. She shares her thoughts in her Substack newsletter, Back of the Flock, where she explores the image of God in the everyday work of motherhood. Berget has lived in Africa and Asia but now resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with her husband, three kids, and one mischievous dog. And yes, she'd love to hold your baby.Elizabeth's Book:Love Like a MotherElizabeth's Recommendations:Nervous SystemsLiving EasterConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

SPARK – neuroscience, known to autism researchers as the other “SPARK”, is a project based out of Stanford University. This project does not collect genetics on hundreds of thousands of people, instead, they that provide funding, advice, support, mentorship, coaching and project management to scientists who have some evidence of a target in the brain relevant to autism. They help these scientists turn it into a potential drug or therapeutic that can help families. This is known as “translational research” and part of the “Valley of Death” where so many good drugs fail. This is a high-risk/high-reward endeavor. They are currently focused on therapeutics that target the functioning of the brain in autism and Parkinson’s Disease. Today’s guest is Dr. Opher Kornfeld, managing director of SPARK NS and neuroscientist. He explains how SPARK NS started, what they do, and how they have been successful helping scientists develop an idea into a potential product. https://sparkns.org

Michelle Li, founder of Clever Carbon and Women in Climate, joins Jennifer and Kati to talk about making carbon literacy accessible, engaging, and even joyful.Michelle started her career in Silicon Valley with stints at Salesforce and DocuSign.

Russia's annual Victory Day Parade this weekend is expected to lack the usual show of ballistic missiles and tanks. Meanwhile, a leaked security brief claims that President Vladimir Putin has tightened his personal security and faces increased threats of assassination and coup attempts. Also, according to a new report by the NGO Mercy Corps, only 4% of Gaza's farmlands remain accessible to its residents for farming, with the rest being damaged in war or under Israeli control. And, Sir David Attenborough, who has documented the natural world and the creatures in it for decades, turns 100. Plus, lost in translation — how some film titles are hard to translate into other languages. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

If you're an artist, when would you like recognition to strike? Do you want it to be in your lifetime, only to be forgotten decades after your death? Or do you want to remain undiscovered, with your story potentially echoing for centuries after you've been discovered posthumously? These are some of the thorny questions Dan and Elizabeth consider in this episode about artistic failure. Together, they trace the stories of artists whose lives don't neatly match up with the reputations their works have gathered: French writer George Sand, and the painters Vincent Van Gogh, and Artemisia Gentileschi. Each artist presents a differing experience of the kaleidoscope that is artistic failure: Van Gogh and Gentileschi suffered great personal anguish yet have given the world canonical paintings, while Sand was one of the most popular novelists of the 19th century – only to be cast out of the canon in the next century. So what would you rather: Acclaim now, or acclaim posthumously? – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. And don't forget to listen to this season's accompanying bonus episodes for this miniseries, where Dan and Producer Al are dissecting the biggest historical failures as submitted by the royal favourites. In this episode, they discuss a potential research fail about Battle of Hastings, what happens when failure is lost in translation, and what American Reconstruction can teach us about historical failure. – A Sony Music Entertainment production.

Jason Barger is joined by strength and conditioning guru, and culture-champion for The Ohio State Buckeyes football program, Mickey Marotti, to talk leadership, culture and a development mindset.  For full show notes visit https://www.jasonvbarger.com/podcast/strengthening-team-cultures-with-mickey-marotti/ Jason is joined by famed strength and conditioning coach Mickey Marotti, the Assistant Athletic Director for Football Sports Performance at The Ohio State University, for a masterclass on building elite team cultures. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: In the high-stakes world of elite college athletics, how do you build a culture that survives the pressure of the spotlight and the volatility of the transfer portal? In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V Barger sits down with Mickey Marotti—the man widely celebrated as the heartbeat of the Ohio State football program. Beyond the weight room and the gridiron, Coach Mick's insights offer a blueprint for corporate culture and leadership in teams across any industry. This conversation deconstructs the mechanics of "The Thermostat" leader. Mickey explains why consistency is a leader's most powerful tool and how a "Performance Team" approach—aligning psychologists, nutritionists, and trainers—mirrors the cross-functional alignment needed in modern business. They explore the shift from top-down management to a participatory model, discussing how to lead the "Why Generation" by fostering ownership and reciprocal accountability. Essential listening for C-Suite executives, managers, and team leaders, this episode offers a rare look at how to define cultural language (like the OSU "Fight"), develop emerging leaders from the ground up, and master the "no-talent" non-negotiables that drive sustainable success. Episode Notes & Timestamps: [00:00] Intro: Jason sets the stage for a conversation on proactive leadership development and setting the cultural temperature with one of the best in the business. [00:03] Meet Mickey Marotti: Introduction to Coach Mick's legendary career at Notre Dame, Florida, and Ohio State, and his role in shaping championship-level performance. [00:05] The Consistency Principle: Mickey shares why he must be the most consistent person in the building and how he sets the temperature for both his team and his family. [00:08] The Development Mindset: A look at the "Perpetual Development" process—meeting athletes as teenagers and helping them stretch beyond what they believe is possible. [00:11] The Performance Team: Why culture requires alignment across every department, from physical therapists to academic counselors. [00:14] Leadership Alignment: Mickey discusses the necessity of being "on the same page" as the head coach to ensure the mission isn't lost in translation. [00:16] Language as a Tool: Defining the OSU culture of "Fight" and "Tough Love." Why clarity in language is the only way to ensure desired behaviors exist in action. [00:19] The Transfer Portal & Changing Landscapes: How to bring new people into an existing culture quickly and the "pixie dust" effect of veterans moving to the front row. [00:23] Transformational vs. Transactional: Why the human connection remains more important than ever in a world that is becoming increasingly transactional. [00:26] Leading the "Why" Generation: How to engage digital natives by involving them in the strategy and giving them ownership of the locker room. [00:33] The "No-Talent" Issues: Coach Mick's advice for everyone: focus on attitude, effort, and intensity—the non-negotiables that require zero God-given talent. [00:36] Closing Questions: Jason and Mickey discuss the common denominator of thriving organizations: the recognition of human value. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Radical Consistency: Leaders cannot reflect the environment; they must set it. Your team needs to rely on your "flat-lined" consistency during high-stress periods. Participatory Buy-In: Shift from presenting a plan to co-creating it with your leaders. When people feel the vision is theirs, they will anchor it when you aren't in the room. Behavioral Definitions: Move beyond posters. Define what your values (like "Accountability" or "Excellence") actually look like in daily interactions and decision-making.

"I just feel so alone, even when I'm surrounded by other people." On this week's episode, we return to Tokyo for a bleary-eyed re-evaluation of Sofia Coppola's 2003 indie dramedy Lost in Translation. Despite being often referenced on the podcast, it was time to finally let Frank air his grievances about this era of Bill Murray's career and see how the movie holds up over 20 years later. Is it really intended as a May-September romance or is it just about the need for connection? Does the movie's view of quirky Japan feel overly snarky and borderline racist? Is it a dick move for an actor to ask if he should turn his head left or right? Has anyone actually figured out the secret whisper at the end of the movie? Pour yourself a glass of whiskey and make it Suntory time with the latest Film Junk Podcast.

Is Shakespeare still Shakespeare even if every word is changed? While Shakespeare's work is often hailed for its universality, its meter, metaphor, and wordplay pose special challenges for translators. How do you convey the rhythm and spirit of Shakespeare's words in a language that follows fundamentally different rules? Author and translator Daniel Hahn explores these questions in his book, If This Be Magic: The Unlikely Art of Shakespeare in Translation. He interviews translators from around the world, providing unique perspectives on Shakespeare's language and impact. Some of Shakespeare's best-known lines can prove the most difficult to capture, like Henry V's “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.” Even something seemingly simple like Lady Macbeth's “Are you a man?” may be tricky to translate when the word “man” carries different connotations in different languages. In this episode, Hahn dives into the challenges and rewards of translating Shakespeare, exploring not only what is lost in translation, but also what is gained.
