After making four illegal trades based on inside information, the FBI approached him on a Manhattan street corner and convinced him to wear a wire over 40 times, helping build 20 of the 81 cases. Key Learnings  Ambiguity is where ethical lines blur. Tom's boss said, "Do whatever it takes," after the hedge fund lost money, and as a junior employee, Tom didn't ask clarifying questions. The undiscussable becomes undiscussable. Leaders give ambiguous messages, then pretend they weren't ambiguous, employees get confused and don't question the boss, and you end up with a culture of silence. Making decisions in isolation is dangerous. The information came to Tom and he didn't talk to his boss or his wife (who probably would've slapped him around for crossing ethical lines). Psychological safety requires muscle memory. You have to practice saying "I'm just going to ask some clarifying questions here" when your boss gives ambiguous orders. Bad decisions aren't mistakes. Mistakes are made without intent, but bad decisions are made with intent. Tom told himself for years he made "mistakes," but on a drive home from speaking at a keynote, he realized: "There's no way I made mistakes. I made bad decisions." Never say never. Tom argues you're more susceptible to falling down your own slippery slope when you think "that would never be me." 80% of employees can be swayed either way. 10% are morally incorruptible, 10% are a compliance nightmare, and 80% can be influenced by the culture around them. Tone at the top means nothing. Company culture isn't the tone at the top or glossy shareholder letters; it's the behaviors employees believe will be rewarded or put them ahead. Reward character, not just results. You can't just focus on short-term performance and dollar goals without understanding how the business was made and what was behind the performance. The question isn't "what?" but "how?" If you're just focused on the numbers and not on how you got there, you have the opportunity to end up in a slippery slope situation. Celebrate people who live your values. Companies that spend millions on trips for people who live out shared values (not financial performance) are putting their money where their mouth is. Leaders must share their own ethical dilemmas. We've all been in situations where we could go left or right, and sharing how you worked through those moments makes you more endearing and a better leader. Keep a rationalization journal. When Tom and his wife have big decisions (or even little things), he writes them down in a rationalization journal and reflects on them once a month. He's still susceptible to going down another slippery slope, so checking himself on those passing thoughts improves his character over time. It's not what you say, it's what you do. Just like kids see what parents do (not what they say), employees see what behaviors leaders actually reward. $46,000 cost him $23 million. A business school professor calculated Tom would've made $23 million if he'd stayed on the hedge fund path, but he made $46,000 on the four illegal trades before getting caught. His wife was his rock. 85% of marriages end when something like this happens, and she had every right to leave. They just got married, no kids yet. But she stayed. When Tom interviewed her for the book 20 years later, she said, "All I remember is you accepted responsibility immediately. You didn't make up excuses." Running pulled him out of a shame spiral. Tom got obese as a stay-at-home dad. His wife signed him up for a 5K race (and beat him while pushing a jogging stroller). Just crossing that finish line lit a fire. He ended up running a 100-mile race.  Doing hard things teaches you that you can do hard things. When Tom had to start a speaking business because they were running out of money, he said, "I can do this" because he'd already put his body through ultramarathons. No challenge is insurmountable. He ended up with something better. It's not about status or money anymore; it's about who he is with his family and his relationships now. Windshield mentality, not rearview mirror. Tom can't change the past, but he can look forward instead of backward. A lot of people in their twenties do stupid stuff (maybe not to this degree), but now, in his forties, he can learn from it. Why not embrace it rather than try to scrub it off the internet? Eulogy virtues versus resume virtues. In his twenties, Tom only thought about resume virtues (how much money, the next job, the next stepping stone) and never about eulogy virtues (what people will say about his character when it's all over). What will people say at your eulogy? Will they still be talking about those four trades, or will they talk about who you became after? More Learning #226 - Steve Wojciechowski: How to Win Every Day #281 - George Raveling: Wisdom from MLK Jr to Michael Jordan #637 - Tom Ryan: Chosen Suffering: Become Elite in Life & Leadership Reflection Questions Tom's boss gave him an ambiguous message ("do whatever it takes"), and as a junior employee, he didn't ask clarifying questions. Think about the last ambiguous instruction you received from leadership. Did you ask clarifying questions, or did you fill in the blanks yourself? What's stopping you from creating psychological safety to ask next time? Tom argues that 80% of employees can be swayed either way by culture. Look at your organization right now. What behaviors are actually being rewarded? If someone asked your team "what gets you ahead here?" what would they honestly say? Tom asks: "Will people be talking about the resume virtues (money, titles, achievements) or the eulogy virtues (character, relationships, who you were) when you're gone?" What's one eulogy virtue you need to start prioritizing today, even if it means slowing down on resume building?

[In honor of Black History Month, we're highlighting some past conversations recorded with some former guests with diverse experiences]African American leaders at Seacoast, Lynne Stroy and Joel Delph, join Lead Pastor Josh Surratt and host Joey Svendsen to discuss why publicly putting language to their lived experiences as black people is nerve-wracking; and given the limitations of words, very susceptible to being misconstrued.The four discuss why conversations surrounding race is still difficult to this day, especially in the church.  Could there be a spirit of division behind it all?  Our lead pastor believes so.   Why is the idea of systemic racism too offensive for some to even consider?  What role do politics play in how people process all of this? Joel and Lynne, alongside multiple African-Americans who are a part of the Seacoast family, also share what the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. means to them personally. In this episodeJosh Surratt / InstagramLynne Stroy / InstagramJoel Delph / InstagramJoey Svendsen, host / InstagramSeacoast Family, voices of black people (in order of appearance):Latoyya Jones / FacebookJosh Hall / InstagramBrenna Robinson / InstagramTomelex Copeland / FacebookAmanda Snipe / InstagramDerrick BellamyDeloris SimsCarol Etheridge / FacebookSeacoast Family, voices of kids (not in order of appearance): Leia Benton, Eden Gaikwad, Roxie LaFalce, Rylan Jones, Jo Clement, Henley Rose MabryBe a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

In Davos last month, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney lamented what he called “the end of a pleasant fiction.” That notion has is hard to fathom yet impossible to ignore. For decades, the United States did not merely wield power. It framed power in moral terms. Legitimacy. Integrity. Rules. Whether we always lived up to those words is one question. Whether we still speak them with credibility is another. In this solo reflection, Corey Nathan explores what it means when America is no longer the country that lends moral language to the world order, but the country other nations feel compelled to hedge against. From Tocqueville's warning about democratic withdrawal to Jonathan Rauch's analysis of patrimonialism, from Lincoln's humility to the theological posture of the National Prayer Breakfast, this episode wrestles with a turning point. If the pleasant fiction is over, what replaces it?

Integrity and legitimacy were not just strategic tools but aspirations. Today, that language lands differently, not as calling card but as indictment. From Moral Order to Patrimonialism Drawing on the work of Jonathan Rauch, this episode examines what happens when public power begins to resemble personal property. Loyalty replaces rules. Access depends on fealty. Markets and institutions begin to read the room rather than uphold neutral principles. The National Prayer Breakfast and Theological Posture A prayer breakfast is meant to orient upward in humility. When reverence bends inward, the shift is not merely stylistic. It is theological. Tocqueville's Warning Democracy's danger may not arrive as sudden tyranny but as gradual withdrawal. Citizens retreat into private grievance. Moral discipline erodes. Individualism curdles into narcissism. The Comforting Assumption About Ourselves Nearly every white pastor today believes they would have stood with Martin Luther King Jr. The question is not whether that belief is sincere. The question is whether it would have been true. The Choice Before Citizens The world is already adjusting. Allies hedge. Middle powers collaborate. The question now belongs to citizens, not prime ministers. Withdrawal is understandable. It is not inevitable. Why This Matters Now The loss at stake is not only status but trust. If the pleasant fiction required tending, then its collapse requires responsibility. Renewal, if it comes, will not arrive through taunts or spectacle. It will be decided by habits, by courage, by whether citizens retreat or step forward. Connect on Social Media Corey is @coreysnathan on all the socials...

“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Mark Twain's words remind us that the past is a guidebook, not a relic. In today's episode, “The Human Work of Progress: Reflections on Dr. King's Legacy,” Jacquette explores how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s radical reimagination of America was far more than hope; it was strategy, courage, and a refusal to accept the default.Reimagination is often the first act of change. It asks us to question norms, challenge the status quo, and examine what we truly value. Jacquette reflects on the endurance and experimentation that fueled the Civil Rights Movement, and how Dr. King understood that progress was never linear and never achieved through a single act.She invites listeners to take a lesson from his legacy: the How and the When matter just as much as the What. When you honor all three, you move with intention, resilience, and clarity—especially in the moments that test you most.Tune in and let Dr. King's examples strengthen your own path forward.Want More?

Sons Of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean Bradlee Dean's "MY WAR" - Part 4 The Battle for Truth: Law, Liberty, and the Moral Compass of a Generation MY WAR: The Battle for a Generation Bradlee Dean | Sons of Liberty Radio - Part 4 Analysis #SocialCommentary The Post-1962 Statistical Shift +553% Unwed Births (Ages 10-14) +794% Violent Crime Increase -80pts SAT Score Decline 32,000 Christian Schools (1984) Core Argument: Choice vs. Sickness •The "Sickness" Myth: Dean argues society labels bad choices (addiction, obesity, crime) as "sickness" to absolve individuals of responsibility. •The Role of Law: The Ten Commandments are described as a "light" that exposes guilt; removing them dims moral perception. •Media Critique: Accuses state-run media of "bait and switch" tactics and prioritizing agendas over truth. Historical Perspectives "Wherever law ends, tyranny begins." — John Locke "Morality cannot be maintained without religion." — George Washington Key Parables The Locked Door: Houdini failed to escape a door that was never locked; the prison was only in his mind. The Donkey: Used the dirt meant to bury him as steppingstones to climb out of the well. The Cookie Tin: A man judged a stranger for "stealing" his cookies, only to realize he was eating hers. #CONSTITUTION #EDUCATION #RESPONSIBILITY Reading Time: ~12 min This document summarizes the fourth part of Bradley Dean's "MY WAR" series, focusing on his mission to challenge the "sickness" narrative in American culture. Through high school assemblies and historical analysis, Dean argues for a return to personal responsibility and biblical foundations to combat rising social decay. Detailed Points of Summary The Mission to the Youth: Assemblies and Moral Absolutes Bradley Dean reflects on his extensive work across 331 high schools in 22 states, driven by a conviction that public school systems often fail to teach the truth. During his assemblies, such as those in Arkansas and Minnesota, he challenges students to reconsider their perspectives on love, lust, and abstinence. He emphasizes the "Law of Love"—doing unto others as you would have them do unto you—as a practical guide for relationships. Dean argues against the cultural myth that students do not want to hear about abstinence, citing that a vast majority actually desire moral absolutes. He believes that the fight for this generation is a "war" worth fighting, aiming to provide the guidance many students lack due to broken homes or systemic insecurity. The "Sickness" vs. "Choice" Framework A core theme of the presentation is the distinction between involuntary disease and voluntary actions. Sickness Involuntary, diseased state, no responsibility. Choice Voluntary selection requires accountability. The Deception of "Sickness" and the Role of Law Dean uses several analogies, including an obese man on a talk show and a speeding driver, to argue that society has replaced "sin" and "violation" with the label of "sickness" to absolve individuals of responsibility. He posits that the Law (specifically the Ten Commandments) serves as a mirror to show individuals their violations, much like turning up a dimmer switch in a bathroom reveals one's true physical state. By removing these moral markers, Dean argues, society has "dimmed the light," making it impossible for individuals to perceive their own guilt or the need for change. He asserts that while the law condemns the guilty, it is a positive force for those who love liberty, as it leads them toward repentance and grace. Historical Revisionism and the Faith of the Founders The narrative challenges the modern labeling of Founding Fathers like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin as "deists" or "atheists." Dean provides historical accounts of Washington's belief in "providential agency," including his miraculous survival during the French and Indian War where he emerged unscathed despite having four bullet holes in his jacket. Similarly, he highlights that many signers of the Declaration of Independence held Bible degrees. He contrasts these historical realities with modern media's "bait and switch" tactics, which he claims are designed to stir controversy rather than report the truth. He also references figures like MLK Jr. and Eric Liddell to show how men of faith are often mislabeled by their contemporaries. Post-1962 Societal Shift

On Monday, January 19, 2026, Hudson Mohawk Magazine Roaming Labor Correspondent Willie Terry attended the ALL OF US “Reclaim MLK Day 2026: A Day of Action, Education & Resistance” at the First United Methodist Church in Schenectady. In this labor segment, Willie interviewed Jamaica Miles, Founder and Director of “ALL Of Us” in Schenectady County, and recorded excerpts from her speech as she shared what reclaiming MLK meant to her.

LEITURA BÍBLICA DO DIA: MATEUS 5:43-48 PLANO DE LEITURA ANUAL: LEVÍTICO 13; MATEUS 26:26-50 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  A Guerra Civil Americana criou sentimentos amargos naquele povo, e Abraham Lincoln foi gentil ao falar de seus adversários. Uma espectadora chocada lhe perguntou o porquê. “Senhora, não destruo meus inimigos ao torná-los meus amigos?”, respondeu. Cem anos depois, Martin Luther King Jr. comentou: “Este é o poder do amor redentor”. Ao convocar os cristãos para amar seus inimigos, Luther King refletiu os ensinamentos de Jesus. Observou que, embora amar quem nos persegue seja muito difícil, este amor cresce a partir de “uma rendição total a Deus”. E prosseguiu: “Quando amarmos desse modo, conheceremos a Deus e experimentaremos a beleza de Sua santidade”. Jesus nos ensina no sermão do Monte: “amem os seus inimigos e orem por quem os persegue. Desse modo, vocês agirão como verdadeiros filhos de seu Pai” (MATEUS 5:44-45). Jesus aconselhou contra a sabedoria convencional da época de amar apenas o próximo e odiar os inimigos. Em vez disso, Deus, o Pai, concede aos Seus filhos força para amar os que se opõem a eles. Parece impossível amar nossos inimigos, mas ao buscarmos a ajuda de Deus, Ele responderá às nossas orações. É dele que vem a coragem para acolhermos esta prática radical, pois como Jesus disse, “tudo é possível para Deus” (19:26).  Por: AMY BOUCHER PYE  

Join Ian Carroll and Alec for a live TWF member Q&A on March 12th. Become a member hereThis episode was recorded prior to the recent Epstein Files release.The mass media have been hiding a lot of things from us, and it's probably worse than you thought…In this episode, I'm joined by Ian Carroll & Chris Crutchfield for a wide-ranging conversation on how modern systems shape perception, behavior, and control. Ian breaks down how banks, asset managers, and corporate structures exert influence not through headlines, but through incentive design and financial leverage. He shares how questioning COVID narratives, financial corruption, and media overload led him to trace power through banking, corporate ownership, and information flows rather than political theater.Chris brings a complementary systems-level perspective, connecting money, energy, trust structures, and dynastic power across history. He reframes currency as current, attention as leverage, and technology as an amplifier of unresolved incentives. Together, we examine why scandals like Epstein distract from deeper networks, how controlled opposition and algorithmic feeds fracture reality, and why humility matters in an era of mass formation and information warfare.This conversation isn't about picking sides.

"My uncle was shot. My father was choked and thrown in a swimming pool. Their mother was shot playing the organ. There were assassination attempts on various members of our family, including me." Dr. Alveda King—niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—joins us to talk about what the King family actually endured, what her uncle was really like, and why forgiveness isn't optional for Christians. But this episode goes deeper than an interview. After Dr. King's segment, Heather and Jasmine have an unfiltered conversation about what most churches won't touch: → The media's agenda to divide black and white believers → Why some white Christians deny racism exists—and why some black leaders stay silent on abortion → The pressure on spiritual leaders to post the "right" thing → What it actually looks like to fight for unity behind closed doors This isn't a polished, safe conversation. It's two women—one white, one black—processing years of hard talks, awkward questions, and real reconciliation. If you're tired of surface-level unity statements and want to see what kingdom relationships actually look like when they're tested, watch this.

You've been showing up, doing the work, trying to live with integrity—and the results aren't there. Policies get worse. People leave. Relationships fracture. So you're left with a brutal question: Is any of this actually worth it? This sermon explores the prophet Jeremiah, who preached justice for 23 years and saw zero measurable success. Through his story and the words of Martin Luther King Jr., we examine what happens when we stop measuring our faithfulness by outcomes and start asking a different question: What if the rightness of something doesn't depend on whether it's winning? What would it mean to commit to a long obedience in the same direction—not because the KPIs look good, but because the work itself is true? For anyone exhausted by activism, burned out on hope, or wondering if they should just give up—this is about finding a way to keep going that doesn't rely on immediate success. It's about planting seeds underground where nobody's watching, trusting what you cannot yet see.

On today's show, we take a look at the life and legacy of a central organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, Bayard Rustin. Rustin was an openly gay civil rights leader and a trusted advisor to labor leader A. Phillip Randolph and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This show first aired in June 2021.

Another end, and another beginning. Aquarius and the first half of Imbolc are over, and we approach the New Moon, the start of Pisces, and the start of the New Lunar New Year. As we pass through this portion of the Wheel, we pass through some very important fixed stars. This collection of stars always reminds me of the Martin Luther King, Jr. quote “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” But a loving reminder, dear Heathens, it does not bend by itself. Our deeds are the force that bends it, or not. This is a great star to contemplate the arc from our foolish youth, to our present state, to whatever we might become in the future.Notes and charts for each week's podcast are available for Patrons at the Mercury level and higher.Want to support this work?

On the Feb 11th edition: A year ago, about ten percent of jobs at the CDC were cut, but many of those C-D-C employees are still being paid; The National Park Service celebrated the addition of a historic building to the Martin Luther King-Junior National Historic Park in Atlanta; And Georgia House Democrats have unveiled a legislative package aimed at tackling affordability.

In this episode of the Teach Different podcast, host Steve and guest Bully discuss the principles of nonviolence inspired by a quote by Martin Luther King Jr: “Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.” Using the Teach Different Method, they explore the mission of the Institute of Nonviolence in Chicago, Bully's personal experiences with violence and loss, and the importance of community support. The conversation unpacks the challenges of navigating violence, the impact of personal trauma, and the necessity of positive influences in the community. They also address counterclaims regarding the need for protection in violent situations, emphasizing that nonviolence does not equate to weakness. Lastly, they pose some essential questions for further exploration.  Chapters 00:00 - Introduction to Nonviolence and MLK's Influence 14:23 - The Institute of Nonviolence: Mission and Impact 25:06 - Exploring MLK's Quote on Violence 26:10 - Personal Reflections on Violence and Loss 30:59 - The Importance of Community and Positive Influence 40:03 - Counterclaims: Navigating Violence and Protection  Image Source: https://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/arts-culture/martin-luther-king-jr-1929-1968/martin-luther-king-jr_002/

Fear silences more people than failure ever could. In this episode of Unstoppable Mindset, I sit down with world-class speaking coach and author Robert Begley to explore why trust, clarity, and moral character matter more than polished delivery. Robert shares how his journey from a stage-frightened kid in New York to coaching powerful speakers was shaped by Aristotle's timeless principles of ethos, pathos, and logos. Together, we talk about why audiences want conversation, not performance, how stories build trust faster than facts, and why learning to control fear instead of avoiding it changes how you lead, sell, and speak. This is a practical and thoughtful conversation about using your voice with purpose in a distracted and divided world. Highlights: 00:10 – Why trust and character matter more than polish when you speak03:41 – How timeless principles from history still shape powerful communication today08:51 – Why authenticity is essential in an AI-driven, distracted world13:44 – How fear of embarrassment silences people before they ever use their voice17:33 – What speakers can listen for to know if an audience is truly engaged25:06 – Why fear of public speaking is really a thinking problem, not a talent issue33:16 – How storytelling helps messages stay memorable long after the talk ends40:00 – Why learning to control fear, not avoid it, leads to stronger leadership and confidence About the Guest: Robert Begley is a world-class speaking coach, keynote speaker, author, and founder of Speaking With Purpose LLC. With more than 15 years of experience transforming lives through the power of effective communication, Robert helps entrepreneurs, executives, and emerging leaders craft unforgettable presentations that inspire action and drive results. A native New Yorker who once struggled to command the stage, Robert learned to conquer his fear of public speaking and now coaches others to do the same. He has delivered hundreds of presentations across the U.S. and coached NYPD officers, immigrants from tyrannical regimes, Fortune 500 executives, and business owners to speak with purpose, power, and persuasion. Robert is the author of Voices of Reason: Lesso ns for Liberty's Leaders (Indie Books International, 2025), a book that blends public speaking mastery with historical analysis. Drawing on Aristotle's rhetorical principles—ethos, logos, and pathos—he dissects the speeches of iconic figures like Patrick Henry, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Ayn Rand, Martin Luther King Jr., and Magatte Wade to teach timeless lessons for courageous leadership in today's context. He leads multiple coaching programs including Voices of the American Dream, for immigrants learning to share their personal stories, and Elite Speakers Forum, where rising communicators develop their craft in a supportive community. Robert has also partnered with global organizations like Students For Liberty and Liberty Ventures to teach persuasive speaking to international student leaders and business executives. Robert now lives in Orlando, Florida, with the love of his life, Carrie-Ann. When he's not coaching speakers or crafting keynotes, you might find him running Spartan Races, reflecting on philosophy, or attending rock concerts or ballet performances.

Join us for a compelling conversation with award-winning journalist and bestselling writer Wil Haygood (author of The Butler) as he discusses his latest book, The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home (out February 10, 2026). Haygood reframes the Vietnam War not simply as a foreign conflict, but as a crucible in which the fight for civil rights followed Black Americans from the streets of the United States into the jungles of Southeast Asia. Drawing on deep research and vivid personal stories, he traces the lives of Black soldiers, airmen, doctors, nurses, journalists, and activists who fought simultaneously against enemy forces abroad and systemic racism at home. In The War Within a War, readers encounter figures both famous and obscure: from an Air Force pilot POW and a frontline surgeon to Marvin Gaye and Martin Luther King, Jr. The goal is to illuminate how this dual struggle reshaped both the war and the American conscience. This book goes beyond military history to explore how race and war intersected in ways that still echo in American life. Haygood's narrative brings urgency and humanity to a chapter of the Vietnam era that reshapes our understanding of service, sacrifice, and the unfinished fight for equality. Join us to hear from one of America's most insightful chroniclers of Black experience and national history, and to engage with the stories that still reverberate a half-century later.

KPFA Theatre Critic Richard Wolinsky reviews “The Mountaintop” at Oakland Theatre Project through Feb. 15, 2026.       TEXT OF REVIEW: In late 2008, it felt as if we'd entered a new world. The Republicans were out of office, people of color were being appointed to key positions in business and government, and a black man had just been elected president. Martin Luther King's dream seemingly had come true. Stories of his infidelities had come to light two decades earlier, and he'd been shown to have, as they say, feet of clay. He was no longer a god, but he was a hero. And Obama's election had proven it. And in June 2009, The Mountaintop, a play by Katori Hall, about the last evening in the life of Martin Luther King, premiered in a small theatre in London, later moving to the West End, and coming to Broadway two years later. Now, under a very different national circumstance, The Mountaintop can be seen in an Oakland Theatre Project production, which runs through February 15th, this coming weekend. We are in Dr. King's room at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, just after his sermon, I've Been to the Mountaintop. Rain pounds the windows, lightning flashes, lights go on and off. He's sent his assistant out looking for cigarettes and he's waiting impatiently. He calls room service for coffee. A maid quickly appears. They chat, flirt, and then things take a surprising turn. In this staging, King's motel room is also his tomb. We are not quite in the real world. But Dr. King, as performed brilliantly by William Thomas Hodgson, feels definitely real, as does Sam Jackson as Camae, the maid. Also real is the intimacy of the theatre, especially during the play's various moments of crisis, when the audience feels like part of the production. The times are very different now than back in 2009. As the co-director of the production Michael Socrates Moran writes in the program, today It may very well be that the fate of our democracy hinges on the capacity of citizens to engage in non-violent resistance against armed federal paramilitary troops. He goes on to say that, Dr. King's worldview stands as a bastion for radical humanization not only in the face of fascism, but also in the face of a status quo that privileges peace over justice, equality and freedom. In 2026, Dr. King's mountaintop feels even further away than it did nearly sixty years ago, and what felt triumphant then takes on an irony nobody could have expected. But the play's focus on King's humanity and the humanity of his message still remains, as does the power of theater in this formidable production The Mountaintop plays at Oakland Theatre Project through February 15th.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: PJ Fleck is the head football coach at the University of Minnesota. Before that, he transformed Western Michigan from one win to 13 wins and a Cotton Bowl appearance. Before his coaching days, PJ was a stud receiver at Northern Illinois and was a guy I played against in college. Coach Fleck has built one of college football's most distinctive culture-driven programs. You'll hear why he maintains an 80-20 split favoring high school recruiting over the transfer portal, how he runs practice with a 32-second clock to make it harder than games, and why he sees himself as a cultural driver rather than a motivational coach. This is a conversation recorded with all of our coaches inside "The Arena." That is our mastermind group for coaches in all sports. And it did not disappoint. Notes: Stop recruiting, start selecting. PJ doesn't chase the highest-rated players... He looks for fit and alignment with his values. Ask yourself: Are you trying to convince people to join your team, or are you selecting people who already want what you're building? Efficiency beats duration. PJ runs 95-minute practices with a 32-second play clock, always moving, always intense. The principle: Make practice harder than the game. Where in your work are you confusing time spent with intensity and focus? Internal drive trumps external motivation. PJ calls his ideal players "Nektons," always attacking, never satisfied. He's looking for people who prove their worth to themselves, not to others. If you need constant external motivation, you're not ready for elite teams. A leader must teach and demand. A team member must prepare and perform. These aren't opposing forces—they're two sides of the same commitment to excellence. My junior year at Ohio University. I was the quarterback of the Ohio football team. We lost to No. 17 Northern Illinois 30-23 in overtime on a Saturday night. P.J. Fleck caught the game-tying 15-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter. PJ finished with 14 catches for 235 yards and a touchdown. (I threw a 30-yard TD pass to Anthony Hackett to put us up a TD right before halftime). Let your team see you played. They do"Guess that Gopher" before team meetings, where players guess which coach's highlights they're watching. Give them a peek behind the curtain. It builds credibility and connection. PJ honors his mentor, Jim Tressel, by wearing a tie while coaching. Who are you honoring through your daily practices? Keep your door open. PJ has no secretary. Players can walk into his office at any moment. Create fluidity between you and your team. Transparency after tragedy is a choice. When PJ's son died from a heart condition, he had two options: never talk about it again, or let it shape him. He chose radical transparency, knowing it would get scrutinized. That's where "Row the Boat" comes from. A losing season reveals what you actually need. After going 1-11 at Western Michigan while also getting divorced, PJ says every coach should experience a losing season. It forces you to identify what you actually need versus what you don't need. Choose what scares you. When deciding on Minnesota, Heather asked him, "Does this scare you?" He said, "Hell yeah, it scares me." His response: "Well then, that's where we're going." Life versus living. Living is the salary and contract. Life is about moments and memory. If you can't stay in the moment and reflect on great moments or hard moments, life will be like mashed potatoes to you. Your expectations should match your resources. The gap between expectations and resources is called frustration. The bigger the gap, the more frustration from everyone around you. Maintain an 80/20 model if you can. 80% high school players, 20% transfer portal. PJ has one of the highest retention rates in the country because of selection and fit, not recruiting. "It's not about the money until it's about the money." The kids' PJ gets value for other things before the money talk. They enjoy the experience of being a college athlete. PJ leads with "I'm really difficult to play for." PJ's opening line to recruits. He asks for a lot. This makes people who are lazy, complacent, or fraudulent run like hell. "This is going to expose me." Start with good people, not good players. Out of 500 kids, who are the best 25 young men? PJ doesn't get five stars. He gets two and three stars who believe they can be five stars. A chip versus a crack on your shoulder. Once you do something the media says you couldn't do, they'll set a new bar. All PJ wants is kids who want to prove to themselves that they can do what people say they couldn't. You don't need PJ's personality. You need the internal drive to be the best version of yourself. That's what he's selecting for. "I'm not a motivational coach. I'm a cultural driver." PJ picks their "how." He picks their journey. If someone needs constant motivation, they're not ready. Peel back the Instagram filter. Everything you see on social media is filtered. You have to dig deeper with this generation to find out who they really are. Hire former players back. PJ's staff has more former players who played for him than ever before. They cut their teeth in the building. In this transactional era, former players help you stay transformational. The HYPRR System. This is PJ's hyperculture framework he created after going 1-11: H (How): The people. Nektons who always attack. How you do one thing is how you do everything. Consistency matters. Y (Yours): Your vision. It's YOUR life, not anyone else's vision. Players are the builders. Don't tell me you want an extravagant home and then hire bad builders. P (Process): The work. The who, what, when, where, and why. Anyone should be able to ask those questions at any point. R (Result): Focus on the HYP. It's not the officials' fault. It's not the other team's fault. R (Response): How will you respond to the result? Don't believe the hype. Everything about hype is before the result happens. Focus on How, Yours, and Process instead. Someone will take what you were taught was horrible and create a business model. PJ uses Uber and Airbnb as examples. We were taught "stranger danger" as kids. Now we get in cars with strangers while drunk and sleep in their homes. The right people plugged into crazy visions can change everything. Define success as peace of mind. That's how PJ's program defines success. Not wins and losses. Train body language. "Big chest" means standing up straight. Players are not allowed to put their hands on their knees or their heads. If you can't hold yourself up, trainers need to check on you. Teach response, not reaction. You can have emotions, but train to not be emotional. The real world wants to see you react. Train to respond properly in every situation. Your words have power. PJ's players know the definitions of 150 words that will help them for the rest of their lives. Give substance to the filters. That's your job as an educator. Cut all the fat off practice. PJ was from the era of 3.5-hour practices. He has ADD and needs to move. He got bored as a player, so he vowed to run practice differently. Run a 32-second play clock constantly. Every 32 seconds, you run a play. You are always under the two-minute warning in practice. This trains your team to operate under pressure. Never practice longer than 95 minutes. It's one thing to watch as a recruit. It's another to experience it as a player. Kids puke during dynamic warmup in the first week because it's that intense. Make practice harder than the game. The game will eventually slow down for your players if practice is legitimately harder. Nektons flow through water currents without being affected. Don't let circumstances dictate behavior. Train this mindset daily. The biggest jump in sports is from high school to college. 17-year-olds playing against 24-year-olds. It's not just talent. It's experience, development, strength, and confidence all at once. Never let any environment be too big for your coaches. Train your staff to be comfortable in all situations, not just your players. Always be learning outside your field. PJ attends leadership seminars with SEALs and Green Berets. At one dinner, a retired military officer who looked like Sean Connery scanned the room quietly, then said: "I'm taking in all the good in the room. I'm also coming up with a plan to kill every one of you, in case I need to." He never came back to the table because he got called to active duty and left for Afghanistan. Always be ready. That's what makes you special. Watch to learn. PJ watched "Landman" and took notes on how to run the next team meeting. His wife hates that he can never relax. Find teaching and education in everything you do. When you stop, you stop growing. Get better at celebrating. PJ has a great bourbon and champagne collection. He celebrates more than he ever has. Balance the intensity with moments of joy. Make transformational programs real. Gopher for Life program. Monthly educational courses. Monthly date nights where players bring their dates and learn dinner etiquette. Monthly racial education class. Weekly coach development on Thursdays, where coaches speak on any topic to advance their careers. Don't let important things stop when the news cycle moves on. COVID and racism got put in the same bracket. When COVID stopped, racism education stopped everywhere. Not at Minnesota. Keep going. Bring back the fun. After wins, players can't wait to pick the design for the next team shirt. PJ gives them five options, and they get into it. People are losing the fun connection that made elementary school great. A coach's job is to teach and demand. A player's job is to prepare and perform. If you're a coach, you better be teaching things: life, sport, relationships. Elite teams are led by players. Your job is to get as many elite people to the front of the bus as possible.

In this episode of US History Repeated, we continue our discussion with Pulitzer Prize–winning author David Garrow and just what Dr King's rise to national prominence cost him—and what his unfinished work still asks of us. In Part Two, of our discussion, we explore how the public perception of King changed as his message grew more challenging, why his outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War cost him political allies, and how his vision expanded to include economic justice through the Poor People's Campaign. We'll also confront the final days of his life and his assassination. Our thanks to historian and Pulitzer Prize–winning author David Garrow for helping us bring depth, nuance, and historical clarity to this conversation.  David J. Garrow is a distinguished historian and Pulitzer Prize–winning author best known for Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a landmark biography that remains one of the most authoritative studies of Dr. King and the modern Civil Rights Movement.   To see all of his published works please visit his website   David J Garrow | Professor, Author   There is always more to learn!

This episode is a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This episode of Nonviolence Radio opens with neuroscientist Marco Iacoboni on empathy, imitation, and the “dark side” of emotional contagion, followed by reflections on Martin Luther King Jr.'s “Love Your Enemy” sermon and Michael's Nonviolence Report. A thoughtful exploration of how understanding human behavior can strengthen the practice of nonviolence.Transcript available at nonviolenceradio.org

DateFebruary 8, 2026SynopsisIn this sermon, we continue our series, Building the Beloved Community: A Blueprint from Dream to Reality, by challenging the gap between creed and deed—the painful disconnect between outward piety and lived justice. The 'breach' is the chasm between "what is and how God wants things to be," and our spiritual task isn't to retreat, but to run toward the vulnerability—brick and mortar in hand—and ask, "Where does it hurt?" This is the difficult but life-giving work of becoming Menders of Broken Walls and Restorers of Livable Streets, where God meets us and promises, "I'm here."ReferencesScripture: Isaiah 58:1–12About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

Jackson for a long-form conversation about Martin Luther King Jr. and why his legacy still provokes such strong emotional and political reactions. Chad is an independent filmmaker and researcher whose work returns to primary sources and overlooked voices, and that lens shapes everything we talk about here.He recently participated in an MLK debate that ran for hours, creating space for historical context instead of sound bites and patience instead of performative rebuttals. That debate opens the door into a much larger conversation about history, memory, and how certain narratives become culturally untouchable.We dig into how the Civil Rights Movement is taught, celebrated, and reinforced from an early age, often without room for deeper examination. Chad draws from archival research, period publications, and primary documents, showing how interpretation influences public memory just as much as the facts themselves.This episode is for listeners who value critical thinking and aren't afraid to sit with uncomfortable questions.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[08:52] What triggered Chad to investigate the MLK narrative[17:13] Challenging northern propaganda about slavery[27:40]  Life for black Americans prior to the Civil Rights Movement[44:45] King's upbringing: born into wealthy black elite family, Daddy King's social gospel, and rejecting Christ's divinity by age 12[01:03:13] Why both the FBI and communists wanted the civil rights movement [01:09:38] The aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement [01:17:03] The MLK docuseries structure[01:34:42] The century-long project to separate blacks from Western civilization[01:49:41] Why classism is just another victimization trap[02:08:55] How hip hop culture has negatively impacted the black community[02:22:40] Malcom X and the Civil Rights Movement[02:42:02] The notion that fascism is a reaction to hyper liberalismResources Mentioned:Hatred and Profits: Getting Under the Hood of the Ku Klux Klan by Fryer G.

When people think of sit-ins, they think Greensboro. But the movement didn't start, or stop, there. This episode looks at how the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins inspired Atlanta's Black college students to challenge segregation in a city that called itself “too busy to hate.” From An Appeal for Human Rights to coordinated sit-ins across downtown, arrests under newly written laws, and the protests that landed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in jail. Atlanta's Student Movement reshaped the civil rights fight and even influenced a presidential election. Want to support this podcast?

Lucas issued Charge No. 551-2024-04996, alleging that Respondent NIKE may have violated Title VII “by engaging in a pattern or practice of disparate treatment against White employees, applicants, and training program participants in hiring, promotion, demotion, or separation decisions (including selection for layoffs); internship programs; and mentoring, leadership development, and other career development programs.”This is crazy to me: EEOC counsel signatory GWENDOLYN YOUNG REAMS - a black woman who signed off on this lawsuit was the subject of an entire article on the amazing power of Title VII for the civil rights movement in July of 2024. Reams has been at EEOC since 1972, and Biden made her acting general counsel.Trump took over, appointed Andrea Lucas as chair who DEMOTED Reams to Associate General Counsel to make room for Catherine Eschbach, a Federalist Society who has SIX YEARS EXPERIENCE AT A LAW FIRM who got her Bachelor's in 2010 and her law degree in 2015 (a whole 10 years experience!), but had this to say upon her appointment: “President Trump made clear in his executive order on eliminating DEI that EO 11246 had facilitated federal contractors adopting DEI practices out of step with the requirements of our Nation's civil rights laws and that, with the rescission of EO 11246, the President mandates federal contractors wind those practices down within 90 days. As director, I'm committed to carrying out President Trump's executive orders, which will restore a merit-based system to provide all workers with equal opportunity.”All the other lawyers signing were white, and I can only guess Reams had no choice but to sign unless she decided to do MLK dirty 60 years after seeing him in collegeBut literally, the EEOC discriminated against a black lawyer who was in charge to put white lawyers in charge to bring discrimination cases against companiesNOT TO MENTION, here is Nike's workforce composition in 2024:57% white, 50% male overall65% white, 55% males for management77% white, 62% male for leadershipThe EEOC workforce demographics as of 2022, when it was WOKEST:60% white, 56% maleNIKE IS WHITER THAN THE EEOC FROM MANAGEMENT UPBlackrock and every Wall Street bank that quit Net Zero AllianceRather than sticking it out and fighting, knowing that you were correct and legally able to invest however you wanted and associate with anyone you wanted, you all cowered when Texas passed the first law saying you “discriminate against” fossil fuels and generated an arbitrary “black list”Now, this: Texas anti-ESG law declared unconstitutional by US judgeIn a decision made public on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Alan Albright said the law violated First Amendment free-speech protections because it punished businesses for speaking about fossil fuels and associating with organizations that oppose fossil fuels.First Amendment! The very first one! You didn't even have to read ALL the amendments to figure out which Stewardship whiningThe UK Investment Association stewardship working group, a group that included Aegon, BlackRock, Fidelity, M&G, Schroders, Artemis, CCLA, Legal and General, and Royal London Asset Management, put out a paper: Realigning Stewardship: Delivering sustainable value through StewardshipThe group wants you to know some things about stewardship, specifically:Stuff happening in the future is too far away for us to care now: “The need for realism over what stewardship can achieve – There are potential time horizon trade-offs between achieving real world outcomes on sustainability themes such as climate change and delivering financial returns to clients. These trade-offs need to be actively considered. Additionally, there are concerns that targeted sustainability goals may not always be realistic, and that government and other stakeholders may have developed unrealistic expectations of stewardship's capacity to deliver systemic change.”Translation: if we actually invested for climate and were stewards of climate in our portfolios given that climate change will totally fuck up everything we know and invest in, we'd have to give up on, like, AI and oil and stuff… we can't really do that because there's too much money and stonks and rockets and whatever, so we'll give up on climate, but just like, for NOW, later we'll fix it by asking nicelyDespite historically having voted 96% in favor of virtually EVERYTHING: “There is an undue focus on voting as a barometer of good stewardship, which does not reflect the role of all stewardship mechanisms.”Translation: we get no credit for talking about this for a decade and voting for everything - like, NONE. Stewardship teams are seen as cost centers, not alpha generation. But we should get credit for talking about stuff in the hopes that things change over a long period of time.We are poor: “There are different costs associated with the process of stewardship for both investors and companies, who have finite resources.”Translation: I mean, PLENTY of resources for CEO pay that outstrips inflation and massive AI investments to displace workers and stuff, but you know… poor.OMG, stop whining… the vote IS THE MECHANISM YOU'VE NEVER USED! Your owners WANT YOU TO and you vote with management at a higher rate than people in the US believe in the moon landing!Headliniest of the WeekDR: The meritocracy is officially a lie: Elon Musk's hiring advice: 'Don't look at the résumé — just believe your interaction'DR: It's official, we are right about everything: Disney's Bob Iger achieves an essential feat for outgoing CEOs: giving his successor a clean slateMM: Hillary Clinton wants testimony on Jeffrey Epstein in public: 'Let's stop the games'MM: My neighborhood is pushing back against sidewalk delivery robots. The fight's coming to your town nextPicture of the week from inside a Cracker Barrel, which is getting its mojo back:Who Won the Week?DR: The Epstein Bros (see Matt's winner)MM: White men (again) - I am already filing a lawsuit against that girl in high school who wouldn't make out with me for discriminating against white men with ugly glasses and long noses. It's racism of the highest order.PredictionsDR: The best we can hope for are shareholder derivative lawsuits against boards who failed to oversee the "reputational risk” of their Epstein tech bro directors and CEOs. MM: When I saw this: Elon Musk says it's hard to convince engineers with families to move to SpaceX's 'technology monastery' in Texas, it was clear: Elon Musk will re-reincorporate SpaceX in a really nice suburb somewhere near or around San Francisco in an effort to re-re-rehire talent (who may actually have families), after which a single white man who moved to Texas to join SpaceX will sue the company for discrimination against single white men who move to Texas, forcing Musk to re-re-reincorporate in Texas again.

You might know that Austin got its name from Stephen F. Austin, the father of Texas, but chances are you drive on streets, bridges, and past buildings named after other Austinites, and you have no idea who they are. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined today by Adam Powell, the executive director of the Austin History Center Association, who shares the stories behind some of Austin's namesakes, like the newspaper man who helped bring The University of Texas to Austin, the World War II vet-turned magician who made incredible clothing, the man who successfully challenged the so-called Hollywood blacklist, and the alderman who died in the fight to rename 19th Street after Martin Luther King, Jr.  This episode originally aired on Sept. 5, 2025.  Want some more Austin news?

Before there was Dr. King… there was Vernon Johns. The fearless preacher who refused to stay silent. The strategist who challenged segregation head-on. The man who saw greatness in a young pastor named Martin Luther King Jr. History remembers the movement. But it almost forgot the man who lit the match.

Send us a text! We love hearing from listeners. If you'd like a response, please include your email. All aboard! Join Jennie and Dianne this week as they "ride the rails" with the Pullman Porters, unsung heroes of American history! These men overcame unimaginable prejudice and racism; from being called "George" by passengers, regardless of their name, to working 400+ hours a month with little time off, their struggles were real. Yet, they persevered, forming the first all-Black labor union, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and paving the way for the Civil Rights Movement. Their legacy extends far beyond the railroad, influencing leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and shaping the course of American history. Need an Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery Podcast tee, hoodie or mug?

In this episode, we're joined by author and poet Too Black to unpack his essay "Nonviolence is violence, too: Somebody's gotta die," and to challenge the comforting myths that often surround "nonviolent" struggle. We dig into what he means by the claim that nonviolence is never actually bloodless, why he prefers the term "sacrificial violence," and how nonviolent movements frequently gain leverage precisely because an opponent supplies the repression that shocks the public, shifts legitimacy, and forces concessions. Along the way, we talk through the research Too Black draws on including Erica Chenoweth's work on lethal repression, and we explore his core metaphors and case examples, from confronting power like "poking a bear over honey" to the method-independent brutality of settler colonialism in Palestine. At the heart of our conversation is a deep dialectic between Martin Luther King Jr. and Frantz Fanon, and how both frameworks, in different ways, move through violence as an unavoidable terrain of liberation. For King, suffering becomes the redemptive path, a willingness to absorb brutality to expose evil and transform the political and spiritual situation. For Fanon, revolutionary violence itself is the redemptive force, the route through which the colonized reclaim dignity, agency, and self-respect. We close by asking what this reframing means for organizers today: if rights require enforcement and "dramatizing evil" often demands real sacrifice, how should movements talk about nonviolence honestly and strategically in the world as it actually is?
