In this episode, Niall speaks with Liam McClintock, a Yale graduate, former Buddhist monk, and founder of FitMind, a meditation training platform that helps people move beyond stress reduction into deeper states of awareness and well-being. After leaving a career in finance, Liam spent three years training in monasteries across Asia, studying under Bhante Vimalaramsi and learning advanced meditation practices, including jhana states and forgiveness meditation. He recently published his first book, “FitMind”, which brings together neuroscience and contemplative practice in practical tools for everyday life. In this conversation, they explore: — Why happiness supports meditation, not the other way around — How predictive processing theory helps explain why meditation reduces suffering — The neuroscience of jhana states and their role in reshaping the mind — A forgiveness practice for letting go of emotional baggage — The four-step framework for training attention: recognize, release, relish, and remain You can learn more about Liam's work at fitmind.org. --- Liam is the founder of FitMind, a mental fitness training platform that provides evidence-based programmes for individuals and organisations, including Uber. After studying history at Yale University and briefly working in finance, he left his career in 2018 to become a certified yoga and meditation teacher in Bali. His interest in the mind grew from a childhood diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), leading him to explore psychology, lucid dreaming, and a wide range of contemplative traditions. His training has included Theravada Buddhism in India, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia; Indigenous shamanism in Peru and Mexico; Boabom, an ancient Tibetan martial art, in Chile; Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga in Indonesia and Nepal; Tibetan Buddhist practices in Bhutan; and Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Qi Gong, and other contemplative disciplines in the United States. Liam later completed a Master of Science in Applied Neuroscience at King's College London, where his dissertation examined the neural correlates of advanced nondual meditation. Liam has since become a Buddhist monk to deepen his meditation practice and has participated in consciousness research at Harvard University. He has also advised on advanced meditation training for Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Drawing on both scientific research and first-hand contemplative experience, Liam's work bridges neuroscience and ancient wisdom traditions to help people cultivate greater mental fitness, resilience, and wellbeing. He believes that making mental fitness an accessible and enjoyable part of everyday life has the potential to improve both individual lives and society as a whole. --- Interview Links: — Liam's website: https://fitmind.org — Liam's book: https://amzn.to/3RJGOum — Fitmind Courses: https://fitmind.org/module — Fitmind Podcast: https://fitmind.org/learn
California's 2026 gubernatorial election could be one of the most consequential in decades for farmers and ranchers, according to Congressman Tom McClintock. During a recent episode of the AgNet News Hour, McClintock discussed why he believes the outcome of the governor's race will have a direct impact on water policy, regulations, energy costs and the overall business climate facing California agriculture. Representing California's 5th Congressional District, McClintock argued that many of the challenges confronting agriculture today stem from state policy decisions made over several decades. He pointed to water infrastructure, housing affordability, transportation costs and regulatory burdens as issues he believes have reduced California's competitiveness. One of the interview's central themes was water. McClintock said California is not suffering from a shortage of water, but rather a shortage of storage infrastructure. He noted that the state has not completed a major dam since New Melones in 1979, despite significant population growth over the same period. "We're suffering chronic water shortages as a result," McClintock said, arguing that expanding water storage should be a priority for future state leadership. The discussion also focused on the Potter Valley Project in Northern California, where McClintock expressed concern over proposals affecting Scott Dam and Cape Horn Dam. He said maintaining water infrastructure is important not only for communities but also for farms, ranches and forest management throughout the region. Looking ahead to next year's election, McClintock argued that California voters will have a choice between continuing the state's current policy direction or pursuing a different approach to agriculture, energy and resource management. "If Becerra wins, you're going to have the same war being waged now against water delivery, against energy, all of the things that are required for agriculture," McClintock said during the interview. McClintock also said California once benefited from abundant water, affordable housing, reliable electricity and lower unemployment, and argued those conditions can be restored through different public policy decisions. He encouraged voters to consider how state leadership affects agriculture and the broader economy when evaluating candidates in 2026. While the interview reflected McClintock's perspectives on California politics and policy, the broader discussion underscored the significant role the governor's office plays in shaping issues that directly affect agriculture—from water infrastructure and environmental regulations to energy costs and economic competitiveness.

On a recent episode of the AgNet News Hour, Congressman Tom McClintock discussed why California's upcoming gubernatorial election could have significant implications for the state's agricultural industry. During the conversation, McClintock argued that issues such as water storage, energy costs, housing affordability and regulatory policy will all play a major role in determining the future competitiveness of California agriculture. Representing California's 5th Congressional District, which includes portions of the Central Valley and Sierra Nevada, McClintock said many of the challenges facing farmers stem from long-term policy decisions. He pointed to high fuel prices, electricity costs and housing expenses as examples of issues that affect not only farm families but also agricultural employers trying to remain competitive. One issue McClintock repeatedly returned to was water. He argued that California's water shortages are largely the result of infrastructure decisions rather than a lack of natural water resources. He cited projects such as expanding Shasta Dam and constructing additional storage facilities as opportunities he believes would increase water availability for farms and communities. McClintock also discussed the gubernatorial race, suggesting that the election will determine whether California continues its current policy direction or pursues changes affecting agriculture, energy and water development. He encouraged voters to evaluate candidates based on how they would address affordability and the state's agricultural economy. Following the interview, AgNet News Hour hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill noted that California growers continue facing rising production costs and uncertainty surrounding water supplies. They emphasized that regardless of political affiliation, agricultural producers have a strong interest in understanding where candidates stand on issues that directly affect farming operations. While McClintock expressed support for Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton and was critical of Democratic leadership, those remarks reflected his own views during the interview. The broader takeaway for agriculture is that the governor elected in 2026 will have substantial influence over policies affecting water infrastructure, environmental regulation, business costs and the overall operating climate for California farmers and ranchers.

James R. McClintock, with Horace Lawson Hunley and Baxter Watson, built the submarine Pioneer at New Orleans in 1861 to defend the city against Federal forces. The three men later constructed two submarines at Mobile, Alabama, the second of which was named H.L. Hunley. This vessel was taken to Charleston, South Carolina, in August 1863. On 17 February 1864, after two fatal accidents, the refurbished H.L. Hunley became the first submarine to successfully attack an enemy warship when she sank USS Housatonic off Charleston.

NEW BOOK -- The Price of Becoming Buy it -- www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk 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. Jim Collins is the author of some of the most influential business books ever written — Good to Great, Built to Last, and Great by Choice. His concepts have become part of the leadership vocabulary. Level 5 Leadership. The Flywheel. First Who, Then What. The Hedgehog Concept. He spent more than a decade at Stanford as a professor and has advised CEOs, four-star generals, and heads of state. His new book is What to Make of a Life: Cliffs, Fog, Fire, and the Self-Knowledge Imperative. It is the product of ten years of research and is the most personal thing he has ever written. We flew to Boulder, Colorado, to record this one in person with Jim. Key Learnings Jim's grandfather wrote his own death story. Jimmy Collins was a test pilot in the 1930s. He told Jim's grandmother, Dolores, that if he died, she should pull the last chapter from his desk and publish it. He died in a test crash. After the service, she pulled out the chapter. The title was "I'm Dead." The last chapter, written in first person, described the plane coming out of the sky, the screaming wings, the crash. The final words, by his own pen: "I am dead now." For seven decades, his grandmother never cried. When Jim asked her in her nineties to tell the story of his grandfather, she cried and said, "Thank you for that. I've never cried before." She'd been a single mom in the middle of the Depression. Of all the things Jim feels good about in his life, asking her to tell that story before she died at almost 100 years old is one he's most proud of. A cliff is an event that alters the trajectory of your life and forces you to reconstruct everything that comes after. Jim's first big cliff: he lost his father while his father was still alive. Jim's father took the family to San Francisco in the 1960s. They lived a few houses down from Haight Street. When a man was shot dead on their doorstep, Jim's mom moved them to Boulder. They lived in a cold basement with cots and a hot plate. They couldn't afford a Christmas tree, so Jim and his brother rolled a boulder into the basement and called it their Christmas rock. The Greyhound bus moment. In high school, Jim took a Thanksgiving turkey on a Greyhound bus down to New Mexico, where his father was living in an adobe hut with a dirt floor. He had this romantic vision: they'd cook the turkey, share Thanksgiving, bond as father and son. The whole weekend, his father had no interest in him. He spent it trying to convince Jim to convince his grandmother to give him money. On the bus ride home, looking out the window into the fog, Jim realized: there will never, ever be a father there. No male role models. No frameworks. No guidance. "I've got this one life. What do I do with it?" The inflection point in Jim's life is Joanne. They got engaged four days after their first date. He'd admired her from afar for years but never had the courage to ask her out. Once they were together, Jim began a conscious process: I need to become a person worthy of being married to her. He didn't know exactly what that meant or how to get there. But he knew that was the work. Forty-six years later, it's still a never-ending journey. What Joanne does brilliantly: she sees what needs attention. Jim is encoded to hear it. Someone once asked Joanne what she thought Jim's greatest strength was. She said: "Jim takes critical feedback better than any person I've ever met." Joanne sees what needs attention. Jim hears it. Then they adapt and adjust. That's the inner flywheel of their marriage. Circle the wagons together. Guns pointing out, never at each other. When life gets really difficult, whether it's disease or other cliffs. You are always together. Always on the inside of the wagons. Never aimed at each other. Joanne won the 1985 Hawaii Ironman by 92 seconds. With a hamstring injury that limited her running training to 16 miles a week, she came off the bike with a 10-minute lead. Then mile by mile, the lead shrank. Nine minutes. Eight. Seven. With a few miles left, she stopped in the middle of the lava field, massaging her legs, almost pleading with them to run. She looked up at the sky. Then her gaze fixed somewhere down the road. She started to run. You're racing for self-respect. Joanne told Jim afterward: in the end, you're racing to know that you couldn't have run a step faster. Only you'll know. If you know you couldn't have run a step faster, that's actually winning. When Jim writes, he's on the lava fields. When he finishes a book, he wants to know he couldn't have written one sentence better. When you're on the lava fields, this is the moment you want to quit. Don't. Writing is thinking. When the writing isn't working, the thinking isn't clear. Go back to the data. Find the through-line. There are three types of luck: What luck. A cancer diagnosis. A guitar left in an empty house. An event that breaks your way. Who luck. The people who walk into your life. Joanne. Morten Hansen. Jerry Porras. Bill Lazier. Zeit luck. When what you're doing intersects with the surrounding zeitgeist. Jimmy Page was in Surrey when the British rock explosion happened. Luck is an event you didn't cause, with significant consequences, and an element of surprise. The big winners weren't luckier. They had a higher return on luck. What you do with luck events matters more than the luck itself. Bill Lazier: the closest thing to a father Jim ever had. Jim ended up in Bill's class at Stanford because the class he was trying to take was full. The random course-sorting mechanism threw him into the first class Bill ever taught. Pure WHO luck. Jim did not cause that. Discover your encodings. An encoding is a durable capacity of your intrinsic construction that resides within, awaiting discovery through the experiences of life. Jim has done over 300 online courses on every imaginable subject. Constitutional law. Napoleon. World War I. The history of China. He started them to learn how to teach. Then his curiosity took over. That's what an encoding looks like in the wild. You have a constellation of encodings. Like stars. When your life captures a bright set of those encodings, you're in frame. When it doesn't, you're out of frame. The same person can look amazing in frame and not very amazing out of frame. The most important finding from this book: don't follow anyone else's advice. Their advice is well-meaning. It may have worked beautifully for them. But it worked for them because it flowed from their encodings. And their encodings are not your encodings. Barbara McClintock and Grace Hopper. Two women who won the Nobel Prize and shaped computer science. McClintock was encoded for solitary work. She didn't even have a phone. She heard about her Nobel Prize on the radio. Hopper was encoded to work through people. She kept a pirate flag in her office and once stole furniture for her team in the middle of the night. Two completely different encodings. What they shared: their lives were in alignment with their encodings. Leadership is the art of getting people to want to do what must be done. It's not a trait. It's a choice. Anyone in any organization can lead, depending on their desire to make a difference. Nobody needs to wait for a title. Ryan's encoding is "the relentless persistence of invitation." Jim observed that Ryan has incredible encodings for what he'd describe as attractive persistence. Not pushy. Not aggressive. But persistent and welcoming. The invitation never goes away. The way you lead should be different from everyone else. Because you are encoded differently. Trust your encodings, not their playbook. Roger Sherman saved the U.S. Constitution. Twice. He created the bicameral legislature compromise. He insisted the Bill of Rights be amendments, not rewrites. Yet most people don't know his name. He almost never spoke. He listened in committees and waited for the precise moment to introduce just the right point to turn American history. Quiet. Behind the scenes. Uncharismatic. Unglamorous. Enormously effective. That was his encoding. You should largely ignore what other successful leaders did. It's marvelous to listen to. It might give you ideas. But everything that worked for them reflected their encodings, not yours. The work isn't to copy their playbook. The work is to discover your encodings and trust them. The color of Jim's fire changed. When he was younger, his fuel was rage, fury, and a sense of terror with no safety net. He used to worry that if he ever lost it, he'd lose his drive. What replaced it was a different kind of fire: the joy of curiosity, of being lost in giant projects, of marvelous conversations, of sharing what he's learned. His drive is higher than ever. It just feels a lot better now. The 3x3 reflective practice. After almost any conversation, teaching moment, or significant interaction, Jim writes down three things that went well and three things he could have done better. He's done it for years. He's now systematizing it. He doesn't pause to celebrate. He pauses to learn quickly and move on. At the top of Jim's notes for this conversation: "The biggest reminder for today, reconnecting with an old friend." That's the celebration. What could be a better celebration than reconnecting with somebody you've had marvelous conversations with? Reflection Questions What is your most significant cliff? What did you reconstruct on the other side, and what are you still rebuilding? What are your encodings? Not what you've been told you should be, but what genuinely flows from your intrinsic construction. When have you felt most in frame? Like Jim with Joanne, is there a person or purpose you are actively trying to become worthy of? What would that work look like this week?

The AgNet News Hour continued its in-depth conversation with Congressman Tom McClintock, focusing on the growing challenges facing California agriculture and the policy changes he believes are necessary to restore the state's economic strength. McClintock pointed to water management as one of the most critical issues impacting farmers today, emphasizing that California's challenges are not due to a lack of resources, but rather decisions made over decades. “There is no water shortage in California,” McClintock said. “The problem is that water is unevenly distributed over space and time.” He explained that the state once led the nation in water infrastructure, building dams and aqueducts that allowed farmers and communities to thrive. However, a lack of investment in new storage has left California struggling to manage supply during dry years, even as population demands have increased. “We have not built a major reservoir… since 1979,” he said. The discussion also highlighted the broader impact of water shortages on rural communities, where limited allocations can mean fewer jobs, reduced production, and economic strain across entire regions. In addition to water, McClintock addressed labor challenges, noting that immigration policy continues to play a major role in the availability and cost of farm labor. He suggested that reforms like the historical Bracero Program could provide a structured and legal pathway for seasonal workers while stabilizing the workforce. “That system worked very well, and we need to get back to it,” he said. Regulation remains another major concern for agriculture, with McClintock and the hosts pointing to the growing burden placed on farmers, builders, and small businesses alike. From environmental compliance to permitting delays, the cumulative effect has made it increasingly difficult to operate efficiently in California. “It's our biggest issue… the regulation,” McGill said. The conversation extended to housing affordability, drawing parallels between overregulation in agriculture and similar challenges in development. McClintock noted that restrictions on building have significantly driven up housing costs, making it harder for families, including those in agriculture, to remain in the state. “When something is scarce, it becomes expensive,” he explained. Despite the challenges, McClintock expressed optimism that California can recover, pointing to its natural advantages in climate, soil, and geographic location. He emphasized that policy, not resources, is the determining factor in the state's success. “The same state is right under our feet,” he said. “The only thing that's changed is public policy.” The discussion also reinforced the importance of education and communication within agriculture. McClintock urged farmers to engage more actively with their communities to help others understand the role agriculture plays in everyday life. “People will make the right decisions if they've got enough information,” he said. As California continues to navigate water, labor, and regulatory challenges, the path forward may depend on whether policymakers and voters are willing to revisit the systems that once made the state a leader in agriculture and economic opportunity.

The AgNet News Hour highlighted growing frustration across the agricultural community after a recent California governor debate failed to address key issues like farming, water, and food production, despite their central role in the state's economy. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill pointed out that agriculture was completely absent from the discussion, leaving many farmers questioning whether state leadership truly understands the importance of the industry. “There was not one question on farming, on water, on anything about the most important thing we have in California, and that's food,” Papagni said. The omission comes at a time when agriculture continues to face mounting challenges, including water shortages, rising input costs, and increasing regulatory pressure. For many in the industry, the lack of attention during a major statewide debate signals a broader disconnect between policymakers and the people who produce the nation's food. “It's such a huge issue… everyone needs to eat, and a lot of that food is grown here in California,” McGill added. The episode also featured part one of an interview with Congressman Tom McClintock, who has represented California's District 5 for nearly two decades. McClintock painted a stark picture of the state's current trajectory, pointing to policy decisions around water, energy, and infrastructure as major contributors to ongoing challenges. “We're in crisis mode right now,” McClintock said, describing the economic and regulatory environment impacting both agriculture and broader industries across California. Water management remains one of the most critical concerns. McClintock argued that while droughts are natural, water shortages are largely the result of policy decisions, particularly the lack of investment in storage infrastructure over the past several decades. “Water shortages are our fault,” he said. “We stopped building reservoirs.” He also highlighted broader infrastructure concerns, including the state's aging transportation system and rising energy costs, which continue to put pressure on farmers and rural communities. “Those are choices,” McClintock said. “And we can change them.” The conversation extended beyond agriculture to include issues like population shifts, business departures, and the overall cost of living in California. According to McClintock, these trends are directly tied to policy decisions that have made it increasingly difficult for families and businesses to remain in the state. “People are leaving California… and that's not sustainable,” he said. Despite the challenges, the discussion emphasized that change is possible, particularly as voters prepare to make decisions in the upcoming election. With agriculture playing such a vital role in the state's economy and food system, industry leaders are calling for stronger representation and more focused policy discussions moving forward. As the governor's race continues, the expectation from the agricultural community is clear, issues like water, food production, and farm sustainability must be part of the conversation.

This episode examines the aftermath of Peru's first-round presidential election held on April 12, 2025, recorded just five days later with results still not fully finalized. Host Adam Isacson speaks with Cynthia McClintock, a professor of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University who has studied Peruvian politics for over four decades. The conversation describes an extraordinarily fragmented and polarized electoral landscape. With 35 candidates on the ballot, the leading vote-getter—Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former authoritarian president Alberto Fujimori—led the count with only about 17 percent of the vote. The race for second place remained too close to call between Roberto Sánchez, a leftist candidate running under the mantle of impeached former president Pedro Castillo, and Rafael López Aliaga, a right-wing populist who served as mayor of Lima. The runoff, between candidates who will combine for less than 30 percent of the first-round vote, is scheduled for June 7th. McClintock traces Peru's current political dysfunction to the period following the 2016 election, during which Fujimori's party discovered the power of congressional impeachment. Peru has cycled through nine presidents in ten years, and McClintock argues that a corrupt governing coalition has consolidated power, particularly since Castillo's impeachment in December 2022. The discussion highlights the deep geographic and cultural divisions in Peruvian society. The gap between Lima and "las provincias"—Indigenous-majority rural and mountainous regions—manifests starkly in voting patterns. This division traces back centuries and reflects ongoing perceptions of discrimination and exclusion, even as economic indicators have improved. Organized crime and security are voters' primary concerns. While Peru's homicide rate remains low by regional standards, it has more than doubled since 2021-2022. Extortion has become particularly urgent. Yet paradoxically, Peru's economy continues to grow, buoyed by high commodity prices for copper and gold, though much mining activity is illegal and environmentally devastating. McClintock expresses concern about the future of accountability and democratic institutions. The newly reconstituted Senate grants Fujimori's party approximately one-third of seats, with significant power over appointments. On U.S.-Peru relations, she notes the current government has stayed under Washington's radar and is proceeding with a $3.5 billion F-16 purchase, though the Chinese-built Chancay port remains a potential point of tension. The episode concludes with McClintock explaining how the chaotic 35-candidate field happened by design: Fujimori's party had previously canceled a primary voting provision that would have winnowed the field, calculating that extreme fragmentation would allow them to win with a small plurality. Despite the grim political outlook, McClintock emphasizes the resilience of Peru and its people. Download this podcast episode's .mp3 file here.
