Evan and Tiki dig into the archives to fact-check Steve Cohen: Has the Mets owner always been against naming a team captain, or did the locker room issues force his hand? The guys debate the "bastardization" of the captaincy in MLB, leading to a heated argument about John Franco's tenure wearing the "C." Later, they decode Cohen's "good boy" comments regarding a potential MLB salary cap and why Evan is convinced the owner is just playing nice with the league. Plus, a look at the available free-agent quarterbacks for the Jets—is Derek Carr the stabilizer they need?—and Evan prepares to pressure Carlos Mendoza on batting Juan Soto leadoff.

Imagine a blueprint so ambitious it aims to rewrite the rules of American governance from the top down. That's Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's 900-page Mandate for Leadership, published in April 2023, which outlines a radical overhaul of the federal government to consolidate power in the presidency and advance conservative priorities, according to the project's own documentation.At its core, the plan calls for replacing thousands of civil service workers with loyalists via Schedule F, a Trump-era executive order it seeks to revive. "The next conservative president needs a government staffed with people who support the conservative agenda," states the Heritage Foundation's Mandate. This would politicize agencies like the Department of Justice and FBI, placing them under direct White House control, as Wikipedia details in its overview of the initiative.Key proposals target dismantling agencies: abolish the Department of Education, handing education to states and prioritizing school choice to combat what it labels "woke propaganda," per the Mandate. The Department of Homeland Security would morph into a leaner immigration enforcer merging Customs and Border Protection with ICE. Environmental rules would shrink, corporate taxes drop, and a flat income tax replace the current system, while Medicare and Medicaid face caps and work requirements.Fast forward to 2026, and under President Trump's administration, the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency has turbocharged these ideas. Government Executive reports DOGE firing tens of thousands, eliminating diversity roles, and targeting agencies like USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau—both Project 2025 hits. Health and Human Services plans 20,000 cuts, the IRS has gutted civil rights offices, and over 212,000 civil servants have exited, per the Federal Harms Tracker from ourpublicservice.org. Courts have reinstated some workers, like at Voice of America, amid lawsuits from unions and the ACLU, which warns of "radical restructuring" eroding civil liberties.Experts see peril: the ACLU notes threats to reproductive rights and racial equity, while unions decry politicized services hurting rural families and seniors. Yet proponents argue it slims a bloated bureaucracy.As the Federal Government Reform Act advances in Congress, per congress.gov, upcoming court battles and midterm elections loom as pivotal decision points. Will this reshape America for efficiency or entrench one-party rule?Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.Some great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.aiThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Multi-cloud used to be a dirty word — something that happened to you through mergers, shadow IT, or teams gone rogue with corporate cards. But the walls came down, the standards converged, and best-of-breed finally seemed within reach. Then AI arrived with a whole new layer of complexity.Or did it?In this episode, we explore how agentic AI might actually solve the thing that made multi-cloud hard in the first place. Three cloud experts—Jack French from World Wide Technology, Alex Kozaris from Softchoice's AWS practice, and Ron Espinosa from Softchoice's Google Cloud team—break down what's changed, what matters for mid-market teams, and why the "gold record" might finally be possible. Key Takeaways:• Why 90% of organizations are already multi-cloud (whether they planned to be or not)• How abstraction layers and platform engineering help smaller teams manage complexity• What each major cloud does best: AWS for builders, Microsoft for productivity, Google for data/AI• The compliance curve ball forcing some organizations into multi-cloud for AI governance• How agentic AI creates "connective tissue" that makes integration problems irrelevant Featuring:• Jack French, Senior Director of Cloud, World Wide Technology• Alex Kozaris, Public Cloud Leader for AWS, Softchoice• Ron Espinosa, Google Cloud Category Director, SoftchoiceThe Catalyst by Softchoice is the podcast dedicated to exploring the intersection of humans and technology.

Sir Keir Starmer has insisted he will "never walk away" from his mandate to change the country after coming under intense pressure to resign in the wake of the scandal surrounding Lord Mandelson. Also: A teenager has been jailed for at least 13 years for what police say was the random, unprovoked murder of a 12-year-old boy as he walked home from school. And a village in the Lake District says it is "dismayed" no doctors want to work there after an advert for a new GP failed to attract a single applicant.

In this eye-opening episode of the God Is the Issue Podcast, Brad Bright exposes how the original Seven Mountains Mandate—a vision given to his father Bill Bright and Loren Cunningham—has been hijacked and distorted into a dangerous pursuit of political power.Bill Bright focused on proclamation not power. Proclaiming the Gospel to cultural gatekeepers as ambassadors of Christ. Accelerating the Great Commission by focusing on people not power. Today's version trades a fishing pole for a sword, replacing God's strategy with Man's strategy.Discover the key differences. Power corrupts the heart; Jesus redeems it. True revival comes from reaching people, not conquering systems. The core problem is personal not systemic. If you're concerned about the power-driven direction some Christians are heading, this episode is a must-watch.

#DTalk #DNEWS24 #MoscheZuckermann #Israelwahl #BenjaminNetanjahu Die Wahl zur 26. Knesset in Israel soll am 27. Oktober 2026 stattfinden. Knapp 6 Millionen Wahlberechtigte werden 120 Abgeordnete des israelischen Parlamentes nach dem D'Hondt-Verfahren wählen. Es gilt das Verhältniswahlrecht und eine Sperrklausel vom 3,25 %. Die absolute Mehrheit in der Knesset beträgt 61 Sitze.Aktuelle Umfragen zeigen, dass bei einer Knesset-Wahl heute die amtierende Regierung von Benjamin Netanjahu deutlich abgewählt würde. So könnte die von Finanzminister Bezalel Smotrichs geführte rechtsextreme Mafdal-Partei an der Sperrklausel scheitern. Die ultraorthodoxen Parteien Shas und Vereinigtes Torah-Judentum würden zehn beziehungsweise acht Sitze erreichen. Netanjahus Likud könnte auf 25 Mandate hoffen.60 Sitze und damit nur einer weniger als die absolute Mehrheit entfielen den Umfragen zufolge hingegen auf die zionistische Opposition unter Führung des ehemaligen Ministerpräsidenten Naftali Bennett. Die Blau-Weiß-Partei von Ex-Verteidigungsminister Benny Gantz würde nach aktuellen Umfragen ebenfalls an der Sperrklausel scheitern.Wie ist die Stimmung im Land? Welche Rolle spielen der Gaza-Konflikt, die Hamas und der Iran im kommenden Wahlkampf? Fragen an den Historiker Moshe Zuckermann.

Today, Les, Jamil, and Jess break down Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's sweeping victory in a snap election, a historic result that gives the Liberal Democratic Party a two-thirds majority in the lower house for the first time since World War II. The outcome dramatically strengthens Takaichi's political mandate and opens the door to significant shifts in Japan's national security policy. With a strong working relationship with Washington, the moment may be ripe for deeper U.S.–Japan coordination and a stronger coalition to counter China's growing military power, including its rapidly expanding nuclear arsenal.While Takaichi now has the authority to act on national security issues, economic concerns are what drove voters to the polls. Can she deliver economic results while advancing a more assertive defense agenda? And as China pushes regional red lines, how will Japan balance domestic pressures with the strategic realities ahead?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@lestermunson@jamil_n_jaffer@NotTVJessJonesLike what we're doing here?

In this episode, we explore the “Britain Owes Palestine” campaign, a landmark demand for historical accountability and justice. A group of Palestinians has submitted a detailed 400-page legal petition to the UK government, arguing that Britain must formally acknowledge, apologise for, and make reparations for its actions in Palestine from 1917 to 1948 — actions they say laid the foundations for the modern Israeli-Palestinian conflict and continue to reverberate today.Drafted by a team of leading international lawyers and historians, including Ben Emmerson KC, Danny Friedman KC, Avi Shlaim, John Quigley and Victor Kattan, the petition sets out what its sponsors describe as “incontrovertible evidence” of violations of international law during Britain's Mandate — from the Balfour Declaration to alleged systemic repression, unlawful occupation policies, and the impact of partition.Led by 91-year-old philanthropist Munib Al Masri and 13 other petitioners whose lives were shaped by colonial-era violence and displacement, the campaign seeks more than an apology: it demands a reckoning and tangible reparative justice.Join us as we unpack the historical claims, legal arguments, and broader implications of this bold push for accountability, historical truth, and what justice might look like a century on.Dr Victor Kattan is a public international law scholar and a member of the expert legal team behind the Britain Owes Palestine campaign, which calls on the UK to acknowledge and make reparations for its actions during the Mandate period. He is an Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham and Deputy Director of the Nottingham International Law and Security Centre. His research focuses on the history of international law, colonial responsibility, and the legal foundations of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and he is the author of From Coexistence to Conquest.

The Acceleration Mandate by Pastor John Nuzzo is a blueprint for a multi-generational expansion and multiplication of the Kingdom of God.  This month, Pastor John has a discussion with Pastor Mark Poland, founding pastor of Discover Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Pastor Mark's story exemplifies the message of the book.  An impromptu meeting at a conference led to a relationship which ultimately accelerated Pastor Mark's church when he was about to give up.  After starting the church during COVID with 450 people, it shut down shortly thereafter.  Pastor Mark had a vision and a call, but it was bad timing.  Hear the story of how that unexpected meeting helped Pastor Mark to get back up and relaunch with the help of the generation before him.  God is turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers.  The Acceleration Mandate by John Nuzzo is available wherever books are sold.

In this powerful transition into the Year of the Horse, host Antoinette Wolf delivers a blueprint for the "Second Act" leader who refuses to be diminished by age or market noise.Tonight's episode, The Expansion Mandate, moves beyond mere survival and into a season of high-level recalibration. Antoinette bridges the gap between ancient seasonal wisdom—from the Lunar New Year to Native American cleansing moons—and the precision of modern executive strategy.In this episode, we dive deep into: * The Masterclass Collection: Why the "Jim Cramer Playbook" serves as the foundational strategy for the new location, focusing on discipline over speculation. * Market Resilience: A candid analysis of today's volatility in Nvidia (NVDA), Palantir (PLTR), and AMD, and why veteran pattern recognition is your greatest hedge against panic. * The Longevity Mandate: A direct confrontation with social ageism and the "dismissal" of those 55+. Antoinette shares moving insights from her advocacy work in assisted living, highlighting how to spot signs of neglect (such as chemical restraints and dehydration) while maintaining your own vibrant, "lit up" energy. * Vegan Winter Vitality: How to build internal infrastructure and glow from the inside out using plant-based protocols designed for muscle retention and anti-inflammation.This is a call to action for the leaders who know that their best years aren't behind them—they are being built right now. "Youth has energy; we have pattern recognition. Being a Second Act Executive means you have the resources to build and the wisdom to protect." -Tawnie Wolf

This is Episode 2 of the Abrahamic Starter Kit, where we lay out what Scripture actually calls the primary mission of men: marry, multiply, and fill the earth. We return to Genesis 1 and 1 Corinthians 7 to challenge the idea that marriage and children are optional, secondary, or a distraction from “real” ministry. They aren't. They are central to God's design. Whether you're single, married, or already a dad, this episode resets the vision for family, fruitfulness, and legacy. We talk practically about how marriage must function differently when dominion—not comfort—is the goal. If you're ready to stop drifting with culture and start building something that lasts for generations, this episode will rewire how you see your mission.

Imagine a blueprint for remaking America's government from the ground up, drawn by conservative architects at the Heritage Foundation. That's Project 2025, launched in April 2023 as the 900-page Mandate for Leadership, a detailed playbook to consolidate executive power and install loyalists across federal agencies, according to the project's own documentation.Fast forward to 2026: under President Trump's second term, echoes of this vision pulse through Washington. The Heritage Foundation's plan called for reinstating Schedule F to strip civil service protections from up to a million policy-influencing federal workers, paving the way for partisan replacements. Trump's Executive Order on Restoring Accountability to Policy-Influencing Positions reinstated it immediately, as Politico reports, aligning with Project 2025's push for “motivated and aligned leadership.”Concrete changes abound. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, has slashed tens of thousands of jobs, targeting “woke” initiatives. Health and Human Services plans to cut 20,000 positions—25 percent of its workforce—via buyouts and attrition, per Government Executive. USAID faced near-elimination, its staff fired then partially reinstated by courts, while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which returned $21 billion to scam victims, teeters after similar assaults. The Agriculture Department is dismantling its D.C. headquarters, and IRS civil rights offices have been gutted by 75 percent.Policy ambitions run deep. Mandate for Leadership urges dismantling the Department of Education, placing the DOJ and FBI under direct White House control—“a bloated bureaucracy infatuated with a radical liberal agenda,” it declares—and merging economic bureaus into a conservative-aligned entity. Immigration reforms propose abolishing Homeland Security for a streamlined enforcement agency. Cuts target Medicaid via funding caps and work requirements, and Medicare faces reductions.Experts warn of peril. The ACLU describes it as a “radical restructuring” threatening rights, while unions like AFGE sue over union curbs, echoing Project 2025's disdain for public-sector bargaining. Proponents tout efficiency; critics see democratic erosion.As DOGE deadlines loom—agency RIF plans due April 14, USAID closure eyed by July—these moves test executive reach amid lawsuits. Will courts halt the frenzy, or will loyalty reshape governance for years?Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

What if the biggest AI disruption isn't at the entry level, but right in the middle of your org chart? Bill Banham sits down with Brian Kropp, VP of Global Insights at Heidrick and Struggles, to explore why the winners are treating AI as a people and change problem, not a tech project—and how that shift rewrites HR's mandate.We start with speed. Startups jump from idea to pilot in 30 days; large enterprises often take 270. Training alone won't fix that gap. Brian lays out a concrete path: give teams specific tasks and roles to experiment with, shrink approvals, and track learning as a real return. He makes a sharp case for “R before ROI,” arguing that early value shows up as capability, not neat cost savings, and that CHROs should design experiments that surface where returns exist before scaling investment.Then we tackle the middle manager shakeup. Scheduling, approvals, status updates, and first-line coaching are ripe for automation or AI agents. That could remove 30 to 50 percent of a manager's workload, forcing a choice: fewer managers or a redesigned role focused on judgment, sensemaking, escalation, and culture. Brian Kropp warns that without a plan, finance will default to cuts that hurt long-term capacity. He also maps where job evolution is most visible—from call centers and finance ops to diagnostic work—and why liberal arts and market insight skills may surge as tech meets cultural change to create breakthrough opportunities.The conversation closes with two pivotal moves: setting an explicit formula to split AI savings between margin and reinvestment in people, and standing up a new role—VP of AI Workforce Transformation. This team would own task design for automation vs augmentation, agent selection and “performance management,” and the operating system for fast, safe experimentation at scale. If you're a CHRO, HR leader, or curious operator, this is a pragmatic playbook for turning demos into durable advantage.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

Send us a textIn this episode of Surviving-ISH, we pull back the veil on the Troubled Teen Industry (TTI)—a multi-billion dollar machine built on the broken spirits of children. We are joined by Tabitha, a survivor of the notorious Tranquility Bay in Jamaica and a relentless force for change.Tabitha isn't just sharing her story; she is leading a revolution. From the harrowing memories of overseas "treatment" to the systemic failures that leave survivors homeless and unheard, we explore the dark reality of an industry that operates in the shadows.But there is hope on the horizon. We break down the Protect the Kids Act—a landmark bill designed to dismantle the TTI by banning out-of-country placements and enforcing strict mental health oversight.  PLEASE SIGN & SHARE OUR PETITION:https://c.org/8BXpyZKnrz#SurvivorsUnrestrained #ProtectTheKids #TTI #ChildAdvocacy WE NEED YOUR HELP — RIGHT NOW. For decades, children in “youth residential programs,” wilderness camps, and the so-called Troubled Teen Industry have been abused, silenced, and taken far from home with no federal protections.It's time to change that.Survivors Unrestrained just launched a national petition demanding Congress pass the Protect Kids Act — a federal bill that would finally protect ALL children in every youth residential program in America.This bill will: Require a licensed clinician to determine if residential treatment is medically necessary Ban forced transport (“gooning”) STOP sending children across state lines without medical justification Completely ban sending children out of the country Require a 24/7 licensed clinician on site Ban seclusion, punishment-based restraint, and deprivation Guarantee communication rights so kids can call home and report abuse Protect foster youth from being institutionalized due to lack of beds Protect court-ordered youth with strict medical, legal, and safety standards Require accredited education and real medical/mental health care Mandate federal transparency and data reporting Create a Survivor-Led Federal Inspection Task Force to expose abuse Hold owners and staff accountable through background checks and oversight…and so much more.For the first time in U.S. history, this bill would create REAL federal protections for kids — because NO child should ever become a survivor of institutional abuse. This bill was created with survivor leadership, but it protects EVERY child.And now we need YOUR voice. Support the show

That's why HR leaders have a new mandate — stop focusing only on the workforce and start redesigning the work itself. In a preview of their Opening Keynote from Gartner HR Symposium/Xpo, Gartner experts Harsh Kundulli and Katie Sutherland reveal how HR can lead the way in three major shifts in work: augment to make existing work better; reengineer to redesign workflows and functions; and invent to create new AI-based ways of working.   Discover how to: Rethink work to drive growth and cost optimization Understand the three types of work change: augment, reengineer, invent Turn employees into AI value creators with guided adoption Build strong CHRO–CIO partnerships to unlock AI's potential Equip leaders to lead through AI transformation with practical tools   Dig deeper: Register for the Future of Work Trends live webinar Join us at a Gartner HR Conference near you Download the full 9 Future of Work Trends for 2026 See how Gartner is the world authority on AI

Sarah Halko, Head of Regulatory and Industry Relations at TNS, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, for a Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) podcast focused on the FCC's Do Not Originate (DNO) mandate and its role in combating robocalls and caller ID spoofing. Halko explained that DNO (Do Not Originate) identifies phone numbers that should never be used for outbound calling—such as invalid, unallocated, or inbound-only numbers like government agencies. Blocking calls that spoof these numbers allows service providers to stop obvious fraud earlier in the call path, before it reaches consumers. While DNO began as an optional tool in 2017, regulatory expectations have steadily increased. As of December 15, 2025, every service provider in the call flow must maintain a “reasonable DNO list,” making accurate, up-to-date data essential for compliance. “Without reliable, authoritative numbering data, service providers can't confidently determine which calls should be blocked,” Halko said. “DNO compliance ultimately depends on knowing how numbers are assigned, used, and routed in real time.” TNS supports providers by delivering trusted, continuously updated numbering and routing intelligence across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. This enables earlier, more accurate call blocking and reduces the risk of false positives or missed fraudulent traffic. Looking ahead, Halko emphasized that DNO is only one part of a broader trust framework that also includes analytics, traceback, authentication (STIR/SHAKEN), and Know Your Customer practices—all working together to protect network integrity.

Premise For decades, the standard leadership playbook has been built upon an ironclad, yet increasingly fragile, triad: vision, strategy, and execution. While these pillars are foundational, they are no longer sufficient to navigate the complexities of the modern knowledge economy. A significant, transformative chapter is missing from the manual—one that addresses the human engine of performance. We have been conditioned to believe that leadership is exclusively "serious work" and that joy is a frivolous activity, which is at best emerges as after work activities and at worst considered a liability to be checked at the door.   This cultural perception has architected a structural deficit in our organizations. Leaders and their teams find themselves "drudging to work," trapped in a cycle of professional survival rather than creative thrive-states. This has led to a significant percentage of of employees having checked out at work and just going through the motions.   We treat fun as a distraction, something reserved for after-hours or relegated to the periphery of "real" work. This is one of the most damaging assumptions in modern business. It creates a false dichotomy that suggests one must choose between delivering results and experiencing joy. As an Executive Leadership coach, I contend that this dichotomy is not only false but strategically dangerous. Treating play as a distraction rather than a performance engine directly degrades a team's capacity for innovation.  In an era where the primary differentiator is the quality of thought, the traditional leadership playbook is suffering from a cognitive bottleneck. To remain competitive, we must dismantle this outdated view and recognize that play is a competitive necessity, a high-performance engine designed to galvanize teams and produce superior outcomes. The High-Performance Definition of Play To leverage play as a strategic asset, we must first strip away the superficiality that often surrounds the concept in corporate circles.  Strategic play is not found in the aesthetics of Silicon Valley—it is not about installing ping-pong tables, stocking breakrooms with board games, or the hollow performance of "mandated fun" events that often feel more like an obligation than an escape. These are mere pastimes; they do not drive performance. Instead, we must adopt an operational definition: play as an intentional, high-performance psychological and physiological state.  It is about architecting an environment where teams can achieve a state of "flow" while tackling their most rigorous and demanding objectives. In this state, the traditional friction of work evaporates and teams end up doing a lot more work with a lot less stress.  This lack of stress, despite the immense workload proves that play is not the absence of work; it is the absence of the psychological friction that usually accompanies work. When work is operationalized as play, the team doesn't just work harder; they work with a clarity and resilience that "serious" drudgery can never replicate. Six Elements of Play To move from theory to tactical application, we must look at the structural components of play. Organizational researcher Scott Eberle identified six core elements that define a playful mindset.  When leaders intentionally weave these elements into the cultural fabric of their teams, they transform the very nature of the work being produced. 1. Anticipation: The Catalyst for Engagement Anticipation is the palpable excitement that arises from looking forward to a challenge. In a professional context, this is the antidote to "initiative fatigue." Just as an athlete anticipates the opening whistle, a high-performing team thrives when the challenge ahead is framed not as a burden, but as an opportunity for discovery. Anticipation acts as the mental "hook." In modern business environments, specifically those utilizing Agile methodologies, anticipation transforms a "backlog" from a list of chores into a series of upcoming hurdles to be cleared. It primes the team to be mentally "in the game" before the first line of code is written or the first slide is designed. 2. Surprise: Disrupting Cognitive Entrenchment Surprise involves the novelty and unexpected discoveries encountered during a project. Significant challenges naturally produce new insights, both positive and negative. Surprise is the primary catalyst for innovation. In a "serious" environment, the unexpected is often viewed as a risk to be mitigated. In a playful environment, surprise is welcomed as a means to break routine thinking and force the brain to make new, non-linear connections. It disrupts "cognitive entrenchment"—the tendency for experts to rely on outdated mental models—and opens the door for genuine breakthroughs. 3. Pleasure: Sustaining the Performance Loop Pleasure is the intrinsic satisfaction derived from the activity itself. When the reward is the work, the team is in the process of achieving a sustainable loop of high performance. In many organizations, motivation is extrinsic—driven by bonuses, titles, or fear. Pleasure, however, provides a more durable fuel. It ensures that high-quality output is driven by internal satisfaction, which significantly reduces the attrition and burnout associated with high-pressure environments. 4. Understanding: The Currency of Progress Understanding is the "aha!" moment—the specific point in time when a complex problem is seen from a fresh perspective and the mental gears finally click into place. In the knowledge economy, these moments of insight are our most valuable currency. By fostering a playful environment, leaders lower the "cognitive load" and reduce the pressure that often blocks insight. This makes these "clicks" of understanding more frequent and more profound. 5. Strength: Architecting Mastery Strength is the feeling of competence and mastery that follows the process of overcoming a challenge. It is the psychological "high" of knowing one is capable, skilled, and efficacious. Mastery builds the confidence necessary for calculated risk-taking. When a team feels "strong" in their capabilities, they are more likely to push boundaries and explore unconventional solutions. This sense of mastery is the foundation of a "growth mindset" within the organization. 6. Poise: The Buffer Against Crisis Poise is the sense of grace, composure, and confidence that comes from operating at one's peak performance. It is the hallmark of a leader who is fully present. Poise is the ultimate defense against the "amygdala hijack"—the stress response that shuts down higher-order thinking during a crisis. A team operating with poise can remain calm and effective under extreme pressure, ensuring that they bring their "A-game" to high-stakes situations without being paralyzed by the fear of failure. The Chemical Formula for Peak Performance These six elements are not a buffet from which to choose from. They function as a unified chemical formula. When orchestrated correctly, they prime the brain for engagement and move the team toward a state of "effortless mastery or FLOW".  The formula functions through specific pairings that build a narrative of performance: Anticipation and Surprise (The Priming Phase): These two elements work in tandem to prime the brain for engagement. Anticipation focuses the attention, while surprise keeps the brain plastic and receptive to new information. This combination prevents the stagnation that occurs when work becomes predictable and monotonous. Pleasure (The Fuel Phase): Pleasure provides the intrinsic motivation necessary to sustain high effort over the long term. It is the cooling system for the high-performance engine, allowing for "immense hard work" without the friction of stress. Understanding and Strength (The Immersion Phase): These elements build the confidence required for deep immersion. When a team feels they understand the problem space and possess the strength to navigate it, they can commit fully to the task. This eliminates the "imposter syndrome" and hesitation that often slow down innovation. Poise (The Flow Phase): Poise is the result—the effortless mastery that defines a "flow state." It is the pinnacle of performance where the individual or team operates at maximum potential, moving through complex tasks with a sense of grace and composure. In an economy where the primary differentiator is the "quality of thought," the ability to architect an environment for consistent flow is the single greatest lever a leader possesses. If the brain is stressed, it is physiologically incapable of producing high-quality thinking. By using this chemical formula, you are literally optimizing the neurochemistry of your organization. Quantifying the ROI of Play or Joy The integration of play is not a "soft" initiative; it is a cold, calculated investment in Cultural Resilience.  For the strategist, the ROI of play or joy is measurable, when looked through three distinct lens: Personal Impact: The Executive Shield For the individual leader, the benefits of a playful mindset are immediate. It enhances the ability to solve complex, "wicked" problems by unlocking new creative connections that are inaccessible in a state of drudgery.  More importantly, it acts as a critical defense against burnout. By reducing work-related stress, play builds individual resilience, ensuring that the leader's productivity remains top-notch even during periods of extreme volatility and work under high pressure situations.  Team Impact: The Trust Foundation When play is integrated into a team, the impact is transformative. It allows for a level of bonding that traditional "team-building" exercises, which often feel artificial, cannot match.  Play strengthens communication and forges a powerful sense of togetherness through shared challenges and shared insights.  It builds a foundation of psychological safety where team members feel comfortable being vulnerable and taking risks. As the principle states: "Teams that play together stay together." Organizational Impact: The Strategic Asset At scale, this approach defines the entire organization. A culture where joy is expected is a culture worth belonging to.  This manifests as higher employee engagement, a free flow of creative ideation, and a measurable increase in overall productivity. It turns the organization into a "fulfilling place to work," a powerful differentiator in the war for talent.  When play is a core component of the culture, the organization becomes more agile, more innovative, and more capable of enduring market shifts. The Leader's Mandate - Be a Role Model The evidence is no longer anecdotal; it is a proven strategy for high performance. Therefore, the responsibility for integrating play falls directly on the shoulders of leadership.  It is time to dismantle the false dichotomy between results and joy and acknowledge that play is a non-negotiable component of delivering high-quality work. However, this cannot be mandated through policy. You cannot "order" a team to be in flow.  Instead, leaders must model the behavior. This is the Leader's Mandate: you must demonstrate through your own actions that fun is not only "okay" but is expected. What does this look like in practice? It means: Tactical Transparency: Openly celebrating a "Surprise" or an "Understanding" moment during a high-stakes meeting. Auditing Drudgery: Regularly asking, "Which parts of our current process have become mere drudgery, and how can we re-inject Anticipation or Surprise into them?" Celebrating Process, Not Just Outcome: Acknowledging the brilliance and the growth of the team even when a project doesn't reach the market or is seen as unsuccessful.  Projecting Poise: Demonstrating composure and a "playful" curiosity during a crisis, rather than signaling panic. When a leader brings their "A-game" with poise and visible enjoyment, they create the psychological safety necessary for their teams to do the same.  They signal that the work is important enough to be enjoyed. Conclusion The legacy a leader builds is ultimately defined by the environment they create. We are moving past the era of professional drudgery and into an era where the most successful organizations will be those that have operationalized joy through integrating the elements of play.  Exceptional results and genuine joy are not mutually exclusive—they are one and the same. By intentionally fostering a playful mindset and engineering an environment for flow, you do more than just build a successful organization - you create a space where teams can do their best work while actually thriving in the process.  You move from being a manager of tasks to being an architect of fulfillment. And when you integrate your AI agents into the flow of things by calling on them in each element of play and sharing their perspective, in addition to the team, you are now becoming a leader who understands how to leverage the strengths of both human and AI agents who are now part of your team. As you look at your own leadership style and the culture you are currently cultivating, ask yourself the most fundamental question of all: "Are we having fun working together?" https://youtu.be/FF7NIt0PFw8  

This week's second special episode is Scott's opening keynote from Be Better At Being Bad 2026 at Hedonism II Resort: The Freedom Mandate: The Ethical Case for Relational Freedom.Scott unpacks Wild Love Theory's seven-word thesis, “Maximum relational happiness requires maximum relational freedom,” and asks the question that can feel both inspiring and terrifying: If your partner's happiness matters to you… do you owe them freedom?From there, he draws a crucial line between true boundaries (inward-facing choices for self-protection) and what most couples call “boundaries” but are actually imposed limits designed to manage fear. He explains why rules can be necessary early on, but only as scaffolding: temporary supports meant to loosen as trust, regulation, and repair become load-bearing.The talk ends with a raw, personal story from Scott and April's relationship: the moment Scott kissed April goodbye as she got ready for a date with no rules, and what that taught him about control, courage, and what it means to build a relational cathedral two free people can actually live inside.Next week we'll release our full recap of BBBB 2026.

In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Susan Molinari and Beth Brooke to dive into the shocking disparities and outdated standards in the way car safety is measured for women in the United States. They reveal that despite decades of progress, female crash test dummies are still largely absent from critical safety testing, putting women at greater risk of injury and death. They address controversial facts such like the continued use of “shrink it and pink it” dummy models, the bureaucratic inertia at NHTSA, and the international success of advanced female crash dummies in the EU and Asia, where substantial reductions in female traffic fatalities have been achieved. Calling for bipartisan legislative action, they highlight the “She Drives Act,” and encourage listeners to bring pressure to Congress and the Department of Transportation, and challenge listeners to take activism into their own hands by educating themselves and demanding accountability from policymakers and automakers. Susan Molinari is a former U.S. congresswoman and Google VP of public policy, renowned for her commitment to public service and policy innovation. Beth Brooke is the former EY Global Vice Chair and has been recognized as one of Forbes’ World's 100 Most Powerful Women. Her global leadership and dedication to equity are widely celebrated. Together, they have spearheaded a movement aimed at transforming government standards around vehicle safety for women, drawing on their experiences in Congress and international corporate leadership. In 1970 is when the United States government first started with crash test dummies. It wasn't until 20 years later that they realized that women got in cars also. And so instead of taking all the biofidelic differences we have between men and women, they just what we call shrink it and pink it.” ~ Susan Molinari This week on Political Contessa: Female crash test dummies are absent from primary vehicle safety testing standards The “She Drives Act” aims to mandate gender-equitable vehicle safety testing Bureaucratic delays in rulemaking risk prolonged inequities in car safety for women Advanced female crash test dummies are already producing results in Europe and parts of Asia Status quo “shrink it and pink it” dummy models fail to capture women’s biomechanical differences Women are 73% more likely to be severely injured and 17% more likely to die in car accidents Congressional and administrative inertia can be disrupted by grassroots advocacy and awareness Social media activism and direct outreach to representatives are critical for legislative accountability Connect with Susan Molinari and Beth Brooke: Women Drive, Too website Women Drive, Too on Instagram: @WomenDriveToo Women Drive, Too on Facebook: @WomenDriveToo Resources mentioned: She Drives Act (pending bipartisan legislation) NHTSA crash test standards Thor 5 advanced female crash test dummy statistics and implementation in the EU Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.
