Does the Christian catechism require loyalty to Benjamin Netanyahu? Apparently it does, as Carrie Prejean Boller learned the hard way.

Unwilling to compromise her Christian beliefs for a temporal position, even one appointed by the President of the United States.

Jeff Korzenik, the chief economist at a major US bank, explains how predicting a labor shortage in the US led him to discover the growing movement around "second chance" hiring of people with criminal records.  His passion for this work led him to write "Untapped Talent," a book that explains to companies the benefits of this type of hiring and offers a blueprint of how best to do it.  Jeff describes how second chance hiring can transform lives and communities.    Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Jeff Korzenik's Work  This chapter introduces Jeff Korzenik, Chief Economist and author of Untapped Talent, highlighting his unique background as a bank executive focused on hiring people with criminal records.   03:14 From Economics to Second Chances  Jeff Korzenik explains how his work on second-chance hiring evolved from his economic research into labor force challenges, initially focusing on the opioid epidemic.   05:51 The Staggering Numbers of Incarceration  Jeff outlines the immense scale of incarceration and criminal records in the United States, emphasizing how the U.S. is an outlier globally.   09:05 Creating Hope in Prison Jeff discusses the inherent unfairness of a system where a prison sentence can become a life sentence due to employment discrimination. He shares how his book, 'Untapped Talent,' is distributed to incarcerated individuals to instill hope and remind them that they are a valuable resource, not a burden, through the generous support of others.  14:15 Employer Barriers and Solutions  Jeff addresses the common objections employers have to hiring individuals with criminal records: safety/liability, employee quality, and reputation risk. He explains that these concerns are valid but manageable through intelligent, business-based decisions, advocating for transparent and supportive hiring practices.  17:55 The Loyalty of Second Chance Hires  Jeff highlights that successful second-chance hiring relies on traditional hiring models, adapted to understand and support candidates with criminal records.   23:23 Virtuous Cycle of Success  Jeff explains the 'snowballing effect' of success in second-chance hiring, where companies known for fair chance employment receive high-quality referrals and build strong community relationships.   26:08 Empathy and Boundaries in Hiring  Jeff advocates for people to visit prisons to humanize the incarcerated and understand their experiences.   33:28 Challenges Post-Release and 'Ban the Box'  Jeff illustrates the immense hurdles individuals face immediately after release from prison, from securing basic necessities to navigating a changed world with minimal support. He explains why state-mandated 'ban the box' policies have often been ineffective, and instead suggests that voluntary removal of the box by truly committed employers sends a powerful, positive signal to job seekers.  39:17 Impact on Fellow Employees and Society  Jeff discusses how to integrate second-chance hires into a company's workforce, emphasizing that transparency and context are key to addressing potential employee concerns.   43:43 Untapped Potential and Future Optimism  Jeff expresses immense optimism about the future of second-chance hiring, despite being in the very early stages of leveraging this vast talent pool.   49:10 Resources and Multi-Generational Impact  Jeff provides resources for companies interested in second-chance hiring, including the Second Chance Business Coalition and SHRM's 'Getting Talent Back to Work' certification. He underscores the profound multi-generational benefits of fair chance employment, emphasizing its role in breaking cycles of incarceration and fostering a virtuous cycle of community safety and economic prosperity.

Let's march into the season of GREEN!  As the time change springs us forward, some of us are kicking and screaming while some are rejoicing, Kate and Sheila recap books with GREEN in the title. There's the obvious Green Eggs and Ham and Anne of Green Gables but we wanted to give a shoutout to some undervalued titles. The GREEN Ember series really can grow us not just as readers but as people!  It represents the battle of good vs evil and nudges us to do good. Loyalty, bravery and love are depicted in impactful ways inspiring readers to live with intention! Here is the link for the full episode of Green Ember.Ruth and the GREEN Book is a picture book that packs a powerful punch. It transports readers back to a turbulent time in our country's past and shows a solid solution for an unbelievably sad problem that many might not even realize existed.The Last GREEN Valley by Mark Sullivan takes readers back to March of 1944. Here's a quote that gives us something to think about before we complain about those windy days.“Emil (he's in a prison camp) had learned to cherish the wind. Even the thought of it blowing against his skin was enough for him to survive the nights.” After he got out…”He'd survived the worst that life could throw at him, and those trials had changed him, made him stronger and humbler and more aware of the power of dreams and the magic of life all around him. He appreciated every sunrise and every sunset and was grateful to the Almighty for every gift he was given in between.” This book will GROW you!!!Kate ended the podcast on a lighter note with one of her favorites from childhood, The One in the Middle is the GREEN Kangaroo. This small chapter book written by Judy Blume back in 1969 speaks to all those middle kids who might think they are underappreciated. She gives the middles a voice in a delightfully humorous way : )Let's GO GREEN and GROW as readers. Let's remember answers are closed rooms and questions are open windows that invite us in. Three simple questions to ask ourselves as we read: What does it say? What does it mean? What does it matter?Blessings!https://recapbookchat.com/Here's the Link for The Last Green Valley

“Send Coach John a message”I was able to connect with two important relationship reminders here. The first came from Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) “Life's not a solo sport. It's a team game.” Nobody does anything in life without the help of others. It's one of the truths that every human being (I think), needs to understand. Those that do get this, usually have many more opportunities than those that don't. The second one came from Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr), where he shared this gem about the fact that loyalty is really created from relationships:  “People are not loyal to jobs. They are not loyal to businesses. They are loyal to other people. Relationships create loyalty.”  This is why relationships matter. This is what life is all about… relationships!  I've been finding more and more postings, discussions, readings, etc., on the importance of relationships. My thoughts here on my repost: Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) “One reason why always working on improving our relationships is a key part of everyday life!” This is really one of the main things to keep working on throughout every day of our lives!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Pastor Ricky shares on 1 Samuel 18-19 and explains how God's salvation reveals where our loyalty really lies.

Why do some loyalists get the boot while others survive the chaos? When names like Kristi Noem vanish from the inner circle, it's easy to get distracted by the drama—but the real story is what hasn't changed. Despite the shifting faces, the most controversial policies on mass deportation and detention remain steady and untouched. Michael Steele explores the "popcorn heads" surrounding the presidency—from Pam Bondi to the ever-present Kash Patel—and breaks down the unspoken rule of political longevity: Loyalty gets you in the door, but execution keeps you in the room.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, share it with a friend!

Anthony Houghton, Chief Executive of Holland & Barrett, joins the Big Boss Interview as social media and online self-diagnosis reshape how consumers approach health and wellness.He describes a retail landscape where customers increasingly arrive in store — or online — having already decided what they need based on influencer content or digital health advice, not all of which is accurate or appropriate to their individual circumstances. In a £110 billion global health and wellness industry, the challenge for established retailers is navigating the gap between what customers believe products do and what they are legally permitted to claim.Holland & Barrett's response has been a major internal reset. Three years ago, the company invested in a dedicated science team to review its entire range. Of approximately 4,500 core products, 2,700 have since been reformulated or upgraded. More than 1,000 own-brand products have been completely overhauled in the past 18 months alone. Labelling presents particular complexity. Products marketed for perimenopause, for example, may feature the term prominently on packaging to help customers find relevant items. Yet detailed ingredient information states that vitamin B6 contributes to hormonal regulation and iron supports normal cognitive function — without referencing perimenopause directly. Strict Advertising Standards Authority rules limit what retailers can claim about specific conditions, creating a disconnect between searchable labels and regulated ingredient statements. Houghton acknowledges many customers may not understand this distinction.The transformation has coincided with strong financial performance. Holland & Barrett reported 11% sales growth — its third consecutive year of double-digit increases — with digital sales up 20% overall and accounting for 21% of total revenue. However, £300 million invested over three years in store refits, supply chain upgrades and internal capability building has weighed on profit margins. Houghton describes the investment as “fixing the foundations”, with efficiency gains expected to restore profitability as the transformation programme matures.Despite digital growth, physical retail remains central to the strategy. The company operates 809 stores across the UK and Ireland, opened nine new sites this year and has completed a major refit programme. Houghton rejects suggestions that the High Street is dead, arguing that physical and digital channels are complementary rather than competitive. Stores now offer personal consultations, experiential elements such as yoga studios in selected locations, and partnerships with diagnostic provider Randox to deliver health MOT blood testing in a growing number of sites.Cost pressures remain acute. Minimum wage increases affect the majority of staff across hundreds of stores. Holland & Barrett pays above the statutory National Living Wage and plans to announce another rise shortly. Rather than passing those costs directly to customers through price increases, the strategy focuses on driving operational efficiencies elsewhere. At the same time, the company has increased investment in colleague training — requiring staff to complete health and wellness training before advising customers — even as many retailers are cutting back.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:16 Will and Sean intro pod 01:40 Anthony Houghton joins BBI 02:00 The growth of H&B 03:30 Self-diagnosing via social media 05:17 Decision to invest in dedicated science team 05:56 2,700 products reformulated in last couple of years 08:42 Which? found supplement doses higher than recommended intake 12:31 Product & label concerns 18:40 Growth in magnesium, creatine and fibre. 23:40 Loyalty schemes 29:31 The High St isn't dead 34:00 Impact of National Living Wage 41:00 Retail as a career choice

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show opens with an electric mix of culture, headlines, and celebrity moments, starting with T.I.’s proud defense of his family as his sons stepped in during his feud with 50 Cent. Recent reporting shows T.I. emphasizing that he raised his boys to protect their mother and uphold family honor, even as he admits King Harris went too far by wearing a T‑shirt referencing 50 Cent’s late mother. The show then shifts to Cardi B, who's on‑stage moment in San Francisco has gone viral after she delivered a bold message about knowing her worth and refusing to be played—remarks widely interpreted as being aimed at ex‑boyfriend Stefon Diggs following their breakup. Rickey and the crew react with humor, commentary, and classic morning‑show energy. Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson also makes waves as he explains why he stayed loyal to Shannon Sharpe even after sexual assault allegations derailed Sharpe’s massive media deal. Johnson told Front Office Sports that loyalty mattered more to him than money, saying he stood by Sharpe “come hell or high water.” Rounding out the show, the team dives into politics as Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett loses the Democratic Senate primary to James Talarico after a chaotic election night marked by voting‑hour disputes and suppressed ballots—an outcome now projected and confirmed by multiple state outlets. The episode blends entertainment, humor, and hard news in a way only Rickey and the gang can.

How does someone defend their alleged abuser for twenty-five years—then suddenly file a two hundred million dollar lawsuit?The Cascio family just accused Michael Jackson's estate of child trafficking. But these siblings spent decades swearing Jackson was innocent. Frank Cascio wrote a book. They went on Oprah. They attacked Wade Robson on social media before "Leaving Neverland" aired.Now they claim Jackson abused all five of them beginning when some were as young as seven years old.The Jackson estate calls it a shakedown. But trauma experts say this pattern is textbook grooming psychology. Victims become so enmeshed with their abusers that they genuinely don't recognize abuse as abuse. They internalize their abuser's worldview. They protect them. They attack anyone who threatens the relationship.Wade Robson testified under oath that Jackson never touched him—then filed an abuse lawsuit in 2013. James Safechuck defended Jackson in 1993—then alleged hundreds of abuse instances in 2014. Both say they didn't recognize what happened until therapy years later.The Cascios claim watching "Leaving Neverland" in 2019 finally broke the spell—and they discovered all five siblings had allegedly been abused.Is that plausible? It's exactly what experts describe. Is the timing also convenient for a massive payout? Absolutely.Michael Jackson was acquitted in 2005 and denied all allegations. His estate continues to deny them. The courts will decide whether this is justice or opportunism.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send a textAre you still relying on product based rewards for members?Meet the new tool on the block: relationship building.A trigger is that interchange rates are under attack and, for many financial institutions, it's been interchange that funded the rewards programs.So what's the new approach?

It is a sobering reality check on whether we are choosing our partners daily or just staying out of habit.Beyond the "what ifs," we are tackling the weight of a $10,000 family betrayal that has us all questioning the true meaning of loyalty. We are breaking down a scandalous story of a mother-in-law allegedly siphoning off tax refunds from her own son, proving that sometimes you have to involve the authorities to protect your legacy and your pockets. You will also see the fire that fuels Nesha G's 200lb bench press goal and the authoritative stance Moelethal takes when it comes to protecting children and their truth.Send a textSupport the show Thanks for rocking with us!

Steiny & Guru wonder if the loyalty the Warriors are showing to their stars is getting in the way of what is necessary to build a true title contender.

The current state of national security is under scrutiny as the Department of Justice and FBI face significant internal changes. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are overseeing a systematic removal of experienced personnel, specifically targeting those involved in previous high profile investigations. This purge has resulted in the loss of elite agents within the CI12 unit who possess critical expertise regarding Iran and global espionage. The timing of these firings is particularly concerning given the recent escalation of military conflict and the launch of Operation Epic Fury. While conventional military strikes dominate the news, the silent threat of cyber warfare looms. Iran is recognized for its advanced cyber capabilities, often retaliating through malware and intrusions into critical infrastructure like water systems and energy networks. The loss of institutional memory and veteran leadership, including figures like Steve Jensen and Brian Driscoll, leaves domestic defenses in a state of disarray. Loyalty tests and political questionnaires have replaced professional merit, leading to a decline in morale and a potential breakdown in intelligence sharing with international allies. Google's threat intelligence experts warn that global cyber attacks are inevitable. As the FBI's foreign influence task force is disbanded and leadership roles remain vacant, the ability to connect the dots and prevent future incidents is severely compromised. The focus on personal retribution over national safety has created a vulnerable attack surface, leaving the country exposed during a period of intense Middle East volatility.

Service economics have long depended on headcount. Scale meant higher cost, and capacity constrained performance. AI changes that. This week on The Modern Customer, Matt Price, Founder & CEO of Crescendo, explains how AI expands capacity and connects service directly to business outcomes. Instead of charging per seat or hour, Crescendo ties pricing to measurable results. When teams treat service conversations as engagement opportunities, more than half involve buying intent — and repeat visits increase. In this episode, you'll learn how organizations: • Turn service interactions into buying moments • Increase repeat engagement and loyalty • Move beyond seat-based economics • Scale service without proportional headcount growth If you're thinking about how AI fits into your customer service strategy, this episode is for you.

"Your Customers Aren't as Loyal as You Think They Are - The Fragile Nature of Loyalty"A CMO Confidential Interview with Nicolas Chidiac, Chief Strategy Officer of Razorfish, formerly Chief Strategy Officer of Rokkan and EVP/Head of Planning at Leo Burnett. Nic discusses why brands often overestimate consumer loyalty, why repeat purchase trends can be misleading, and the dramatic increase in speed and velocity of competition. Key discussion topics include: why it has never been easier to try a new product; how influencers have "democratized celebrity endorsement;" why marketers should focus on "removing relative friction;" and how to measure your loyalty deficit. Tune in to hear stories about White Lotus, Chewy, Dubai Chocolate and Pop Tarts. Your customers aren't as loyal as you think. Razorfish Chief Strategy Officer Nic Chidiac joins Mike Linton to unpack groundbreaking research revealing the fragile nature of brand loyalty — and why most marketers are dangerously overconfident about it.65% of marketers believe repeat buyers stay out of emotional connection to their brand. Only 15-17% of consumers agree. That gap is costing companies billions. Nic breaks down the loyalty deficit, why switching has never been easier, and what confident marketers should actually be measuring.Whether you're defending a market-leading brand or building a challenger, this episode will change how you think about loyalty programs, customer retention, and the metrics you're relying on.

Last week on Dog Works Radio, we explored the strange topic of "zombie dogs" and how real diseases can influence canine behavior. This week, we tackle another uncomfortable but honest question: would your dog eat you if you died at home? In this episode, we break down what forensic science reveals about post-mortem scavenging in dogs, how survival instincts override emotional bonds, and why this conversation matters especially for dog owners in Alaska. From remote cabins to winter road closures, delayed response times can change the equation. You'll learn: What documented forensic cases show How and why scavenging behavior begins The role of canine survival instincts Practical emergency planning steps for dog owners How training and independence affect resilience If you live alone, off-grid, or in rural Alaska, this is a conversation worth having. Preparation is not fear—it is responsible dog ownership.

Check out the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ow6f_ZQ813I   Eric Glidewell, owner of JP Transport, sits down to share the real story behind building a 45-truck cement hauling operation from scratch — with no trucking background and no blueprint to follow. In this episode, Eric breaks down: The "$50K per truck" formula he uses to measure profitability How he grew from 2 trucks in 2009 to 45 trucks across the Midwest Why reputation in cement hauling is everything (and what "on time" actually means) The role faith played in how he leads his drivers and runs his business How bonus depreciation became a key tool for scaling fast What he'd tell his younger self if he could go back Whether you're an owner operator, a small fleet owner, or just someone building something from nothing — Eric's story is one you don't want to miss.

Forty thousand tips. Four hundred investigators. Zero suspects identified.The Nancy Guthrie investigation has thrown massive resources at this case—and the evidentiary picture remains incomplete. The DNA at a Florida lab is hitting challenges with mixed samples. The backpack and gloves found near the scene led nowhere. No names are being actively investigated.But one revelation could prove crucial if they ever find their guy.Law enforcement sources confirmed the doorbell camera images span multiple visits. At least one image was captured on an earlier reconnaissance trip—the suspect without his backpack, apparently spooked by the camera. He came back with weeds to obscure it.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta explains why this matters for prosecution: prior visits establish premeditation. They prove planning. They transform the legal picture from impulse to intent. But there's tension in the official narrative—the Pima County Sheriff's Department calls this "purely speculative" while sources continue leaking details to major outlets.The reward has reached extraordinary levels. Savannah Guthrie announced one million dollars for information leading to Nancy's "recovery"—that specific word choice carries weight. Combined with existing rewards, over 1.2 million dollars is now on the table.Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He examines what happens when reward money reaches that threshold. Relationships crack. Loyalty has a price point. Someone in this perpetrator's orbit has noticed the behavioral changes—the stress, the fear, the inconsistencies.ABC News reports the case may scale back to a long-term task force. The family has been briefed that leads aren't panning out.

Valenti and Rico wrapped up the show revisiting their 2 main topics of the day.

Kenny joined at the top of the third hour to share some of the biggest storylines across the NFL. Then, they reset the Lions' topic from the hour before and took more of your calls on it.

Mike and Rico spent the second hour highlighting the Lions' head-scratching mentality when it comes to changing things up organizationally in order to maximize their chances to win.

Mike questions the Lions' mindset when it comes to retaining their own players.

My guest today is Dan Sundheim. Dan is the founder and CIO of D1 Capital Partners. He thinks about markets and businesses constantly, and has built a career entirely around that obsession. He manages over $30B across both public and private markets, with investments in SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic, and a public portfolio of names you may never have heard of. Dan shares the story of the short case he wrote on Orthodontic Centers of America and posted on Value Investors Club, which crashed the stock, and helped him land his first job. He shares why he backed Anthropic at a moment when many people told him it was the Lyft to OpenAI's Uber, what reading Dario Amodei's essays reminded him of Jeff Bezos, and how he thinks about LLM business models through the lens of Netflix and Spotify. We spend time on the extraordinarily stressful moment in early 2021 when GameStop hit the firm, and what Dan believes is the single biggest tail risk facing the global economy right now.
