Ever feel completely burned out—exhausted from loss, grief, the grind of life and ministry, and that deep sense of disconnection from your purpose and from God? You're not alone, and there's real hope on the other side. This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys welcome back their friend Mike Weaver, lead singer of Big Daddy Weave. Mike vulnerably shares his raw journey through one of the darkest seasons of his life: navigating overwhelming burnout, profound grief after losing his brother and bandmate Jay, the weight of ministry demands, and feeling spiritually and emotionally disconnected. But this isn't just a story of pain—it's one of restoration. Mike opens up about how God met him in the brokenness, reignited his purpose, and brought healing that allowed him to step back into life and music with renewed passion and hope. If you're in a season of fatigue, questioning your calling, or grieving losses that have left you feeling far from God, this conversation will remind you that burnout doesn't have to be the end—it's often where true restoration begins. Tune in for honest encouragement, biblical insight, and the reminder that God can redeem even our deepest disconnection. Check out Mike's powerful music and the latest from Big Daddy Weave at bigdaddyweave.com—songs like "Redeemed," "The Lion and the Lamb," and tracks from their recent projects carry the very hope he talks about here.

Send us a textHelping too much creates helplessness. In this episode, we expose how rescuing, overfunctioning, and emotional buffering quietly weaken confidence and reinforce victim thinking. We unpack why stepping in feels responsible, loving, and necessary in the moment, yet slowly teaches people to question their own competence and resilience. Through real stories and psychologically grounded insight, we challenge the habits that turn support into sabotage.This episode is for parents, partners, leaders, and growth-minded humans who want to empower instead of enable, guide instead of control, and build strength that holds under pressure.

Can We Say Anything Meaningful About a Venezuelan Debt Restructuring? Venezuela must restructure its debt if it, and its new "friends" in Washington DC, want the economy humming again. But how? The debt stock is enormous and the range of claims so vast that normal techniques are unlikely to work. And typically, before anything could happen, the IMF would need to go in and assess the actual situation on the ground. All this takes time. But we imagine that the folks in Washington DC want to declare their adventure a success, and soon. Is that impulse consistent with an orderly, comprehensive debt restructuring? For that matter, what would a restructuring look like if we also assume that Washington wants to line its own pockets with Venezuelan oil revenues, and perhaps to give preferential treatment to oil major creditors (to entice them back into Venezuela)? We don't have answers — but we suspect that those folks in DC don't either. Producer: Leanna Doty
Send us a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we sit inside one of the most uncomfortable truths of modern life: certainty is gone, and pretending otherwise is quietly draining our stability. We examine how nonstop information, digital volatility, and collective fear reshape the nervous system, distort perception, and weaken emotional grounding. This episode does not offer false reassurance or easy fixes. It names what it actually feels like to live in a world where safety feels conditional, and the future feels unstable.Through a clarity-forward, psychologically grounded lens, we reveal why so many people are dysregulated without realizing it, why resilience is harder than ever, and what it takes to stay anchored without disconnecting from reality.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#291 | Motivation Monday: 3 Simple Conflict Resolution Tools You Need to Know - https://apple.co/4rnXvHP #473 | The Tools You Need to Stop Emotionally Numbing - https://apple.co/46impk3Learn more about:

In a world overflowing with business content and quick-fix success formulas, authentic dialogue about what gives life meaning can feel rare. On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we have a conversation with Daniel Coyle, bestselling author of “The Culture Code” and the new book “Flourish.” We unpack why thriving individually and collectively goes far beyond achievements. Their dialogue serves as a blueprint for building a life and community that feels connected, alive, and meaningful. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Beyond the Mountain: What Happens After Success? For many, life is a climb toward results: career milestones, fame, or financial rewards. Both Lochhead and Coyle share how, after reaching some form of the summit, people often ask “What's this all for?” The answer, according to years of research on happiness and human development, isn't another achievement. Instead, life satisfaction comes from meaningful relationships. Despite this, Western culture pushes us to optimize, perform, and automate, treating life and business as machines instead of thriving ecosystems. To flourish means to recognize life as something to be tended like a garden, not a hill to conquer. The Paradox of Results and Meaning High performers often value discipline, drive, and outcome; the thrill of legendary results. Coyle acknowledges the paradox: results are important, but without serving something higher, they feel empty. Achieving big goals can even hollow out life if not connected to deeper values or service beyond oneself. True flourishing involves aligning your pursuits with something greater and knowing what you want to exist in the world even if you're not there. As Coyle puts it, life's best moments often come when “you kind of vanish” into connection, contribution, or flow: whether with people, ideas, or experiences. Cultivating Flourishing in Daily Life If flourishing is rooted in shared, joyful, and meaningful growth, how can we cultivate it amid daily pressures? Coyle's advice is to start small and intentionally reflect on where you already feel most resonant, moments when you lose yourself in work, play, or connection. Track these periods and aim to create more of them. Meaningful relationships come from deep questioning and mutual investment, not from perfect routines or solitary habits. Prioritize the “animate” parts of your life: the conversations, surprises, and even the messiness of real relationships, which are hallmarks of flourishing communities and partnerships. Ultimately, flourishing is mutual: you cannot thrive alone, and your aliveness helps those around you come alive too. The message is clear. Achievements matter, but without connection and mutual flourishing, they become hollow victories. Designing a flourishing life is not only possible but necessary for real fulfillment, and it starts with tuning into what gives your days meaning and builds authentic relationships along the way.

“Work that is meaningful has the power to change not just what we do, but who we become.” Gloria Steinem Meaningful work isn't just about what you do for a living—it's about how your values, strengths, and sense of purpose show up in the world. Meaningful work is where your strengths, values, and actions intersect to drive a sense of purpose. In this episode, I explore why meaningful work matters so deeply, especially for leaders and high achievers who look successful on paper but feel disconnected on the inside. I talk about how meaning sustains us through hard seasons, protects us from burnout, and helps us stay grounded in who we are rather than chasing external validation. I also unpack a misconception I see all the time: that your job should meet all of your meaning needs. That belief can create unnecessary pressure and disappointment. Meaningful work can live inside your workplace, but it can also exist outside of it through mentoring, service, creativity, advocacy, and leadership in your community. I share how anchoring meaning in values and strengths, rather than titles, opens up far more possibilities for fulfillment and impact. This episode also provides simple, practical ways to do more meaningful work right now, without quitting your job or blowing up your life. We talk about redefining work, creating micro-purpose moments, and giving yourself permission to diversify where purpose comes from. If you've been craving more depth, alignment, or impact in how you spend your time and energy, this episode will help you reconnect with what actually matters - and take your next meaningful step.

Send us a textIn a culture obsessed with optimization, control, and staying positive at all costs, emotional numbness has quietly become a survival strategy. In this episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we sit inside the tension most people avoid, the moments where discomfort, grief, and unprocessed emotion get pushed aside in the name of productivity, resilience, or growth.We challenge the assumption that not feeling is strength and expose the long-term cost of emotional suppression on the body, the nervous system, and the life you are building. This episode holds space for what happens when avoidance looks functional, when “doing well” becomes another way to run, and when emotional signals are ignored until they demand attention.This is not about intensity. It is about honesty, capacity, and what it actually means to stay alive to your own experience in a world that rewards disconnection.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#453 | What it REALLY Feels Like with High Quality Therapy - https://apple.co/4anaO6d #457 | Polyvagal Theory: The Key to Well-Being - https://apple.co/4bjIu58 Learn more about:
Rest isn't just a luxury, it is actually commanded by God. But what does "rest" really mean? Is it different than laziness? Should we only do it once we're tired and exhausted? Join us as we explore what it means to rest in a regular, biblical, and God-honoring way. Speaker: Ben Horseman and Judy West
Two former international educators, Nick and Joy Owens, lay out what a lot of teachers secretly want to know: how to keep global education alive without staying trapped in the classroom forever. Their story runs through Taiwan, Honduras, Alaska, Arizona, and back to the U.S., and it's packed with the real-world stuff teachers actually deal with, like credential renewal, licensure headaches, Praxis retakes, and the post-COVID classroom burnout that can make even great teachers start plotting their escape.Nick describes getting started overseas in Taiwan after the 2008–2009 recession knocked his U.S. job out from under him, beginning with an intense English-immersion “summer camp” style program before moving into a growing school environment where he taught science and even launched AP-level courses. Joy's path begins with growing up in Zambia and schooling in Kenya, then jumping into teaching in Honduras with zero classroom experience, learning the hard way that classroom management is not optional, and later earning a master's in ESL before landing in Taiwan where she and Nick met.A big theme: teachers abroad can't ignore home-country paperwork. The conversation gets practical about how quickly licenses lapse and how painful it is to recover (including re-testing) if you let it slide. Then the episode pivots into their current chapter: they bought and now run Butler Travel, a teacher-informed travel agency that builds custom, education-focused student tours (not cookie-cutter packages), including options like homestays, local expert guides, service learning, and clear “all-in” pricing that parents can understand without getting ambushed by extra fees.They also talk through what actually makes student travel educational: structured learning goals, space for reflection, and the uncomfortable truth that too much downtime creates chaos, but zero downtime creates misery. Along the way you get a memorable safari lesson about risk awareness… via animal poop identification, because humans apparently need comedy to learn anything.Butler Travel contact mentioned in the episode: website butlertravel.com and their planning guide at butlertravel.com/plan.Stats Nick cites (attributed to “Wise Travel Federation” in the conversation):Students who travel show 59% improved grades95% graduation rate among students who participated in trips86% higher intellectual curiosity80% higher motivation and engagement[00:00] The Role of JP Mint Consulting[01:48] Nick and Joy's International Teaching Experiences[04:55] Cultural Shifts and Challenges in Teaching Abroad[07:53] Navigating Credentialing and Re-credentialing[10:47] The Importance of Keeping Credentials Updated[13:50] From Teaching to Travel: A New Journey[15:46] The Impact of Travel on Education[23:01] Customizing Educational Travel Experiences[30:53] Butler Travel: Tailored Tours for Teachers[39:12] Enriching Experiences with Local Expertise[40:03] Navigating Travel Logistics During Crisis[42:54] The Importance of Flexibility in Travel Planning[45:37] Understanding Educational Travel Needs[48:16] Memorable Travel Experiences and Stories[52:31] Essential Items for International Travel[55:54] Final Thoughts on Educational TravelAdditional Gems Related to Our Show:Greg's Favorite Video From Living Overseas - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQWKBwzF-hwSignup to be our guest https://calendly.com/itpexpat/itp-interview?month=2025-01Our Website - https://www.itpexpat.com/Our FaceBook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/itpexpatJPMint Consulting Website - https://www.jpmintconsulting.com/Greg's Personal YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs1B3Wc0wm6DR_99OS5SyzvuzENc-bBdOBooks By Gregory Lemoine:International Teacher Guide: Finding the "Right Fit" 2nd Edition (2025)"International Teaching: The Best-kept Secret in Education"

Send us a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures, we use Avatar as a lens to examine why certain films cut through distraction and land at a deeper psychological level. We look beyond spectacle and symbolism to notice how storytelling can surface unprocessed grief, collective avoidance, and the subtle ways we disconnect from responsibility when reality feels overwhelming. This is not a breakdown of plot or a search for meaning to agree with. It is an exploration of how art reflects the systems we participate in, the values we claim, and the behaviors we often overlook.Through the Evolve Lens, the film becomes less about fantasy and more about awareness, pattern recognition, and what happens when we stop numbing ourselves to what is right in front of us. Let this one change how you watch, not just what you think. Stay with the discomfort long enough for it to sharpen your awareness.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#454 | How Entertainment Can Turn You On - https://apple.co/4bBi7HU #442 | Why Certain Clutter Is Hard to Let Go Of - https://apple.co/4jRSHbi Learn more about:

Automation is showing up everywhere in supply chain planning, but the winners aren't the ones automating the most. They're the ones choosing the right decisions to automate, bringing people along early, and using AI to build speed and confidence in planning.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and special guest host Karin Bursa, CEO of NIRAKIO, welcome Noha Samara, Senior Director, Global Supply Chain at Gartner, to share key takeaways from the Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit in Denver.Noha unpacks why AI is shifting from “side experiment” to a core part of planning's operating model, and why the most successful organizations define a clear human-machine strategy instead of trying to “spread AI like peanut butter.” The conversation spotlights the “people side” of transformation: change management, capability-building, and involving planners early so AI is implemented with teams, not to them.The group also dives into end-to-end data and scenario-driven range planning, including how top performers extend those range discussions with suppliers, customers, and trading partners. They close by emphasizing agility through targeted automation, clarity on humans “in/on/off the loop,” and why leaders can't afford to sit on the sidelines as the pace of disruption and innovation accelerates.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(01:35) Key takeaways from the Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit(07:24) Discussion on AI and human-machine strategy(08:59) Change management in transformation(10:25) Continuous transformation(13:34) Reflections from top supply chain organizations(18:32) Powering agility with automation(21:08) Defining the role of AI(27:21) Meaningful automation in business(29:17) Leadership and change management(36:31) Touchless manufacturing and practical AI applications(41:21) Reimagining supply chain resilienceAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Noha Samara: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noha-samara-4864863/Learn more about Gartner: https://www.gartner.com/enConnect with Karin Bursa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karinbursa/Learn more about NIRAKIO: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nirakio/Connect with Scott Luton:
In this episode of Business Brain, Shannon Jean and Dave Hamilton are joined by Juliana Berger, Head of Payments at QuickBooks, to unpack where founders most often misunderstand how cashflow systems actually connect. They explore the “mycelium” of a business—the meaningful connectivity layer where every dollar in and every dollar out matters—and why fragmented tools quietly create anxiety, inefficiency, and blind spots that erode confidence. The conversation dives into what truly defines business health: durable, predictable cashflow. From cashflow run rate and cash efficiency to DSO, DPO, and operational resiliency, the hosts break down how accuracy, automation, and smart guardrails create leverage instead of chaos.

Joe Pardavila sits down with Benjamin Douglas for a direct conversation about why so many workplaces settle for survival instead of commitment.Drawing on more than two decades in human resources, Ben explains how culture breaks down even inside successful companies, and why people disengage long before performance numbers show trouble. He shares the thinking behind his bestselling book, Mediocre to Meaningful, and why leadership choices, not strategy decks, shape belief and behavior at workBen walks through the power of listening before leading, why middle managers carry more pressure than executives realize, and how trust grows through follow through instead of slogans. He explains why doing more with less erodes culture, how honest feedback builds care rather than fear, and why purpose comes from daily decisions, not posters on the wall. The conversation stays practical, grounded, and focused on what leaders do when deadlines, stress, and real people collideThis episode speaks to leaders who want teams who care about the work, not teams who simply clock in and survive the day. It offers clear perspective on how small, intentional actions build meaning, trust, and performance over timeIf you want a workplace where people bring thought, care, and ownership to their work, this conversation gives you a clear place to start.

Brad Stulberg is a bestselling author, executive coach, and one of my favorite thinkers on sustainable high performance. This conversation explores the dualities in personal development, discipline and self-compassion, striving and surrender, intensity and joy. We discuss the "humble badass" archetype, building resilient identities, why curiosity is the skeleton key, and excellence as an antidote to alienation. Along the way, Brad gets vulnerable about the childhood wounds that still drive his ambition—and I share my own. Amidst the chaos of self-help, Brad remains a principled voice of reason. Enjoy!

In this episode, we explore how constant exposure to media, politics, and economic narratives quietly shapes the way we think, feel, and relate to one another. We step back from sides and headlines to examine what prolonged activation does to clarity, connection, and our ability to stay grounded in a world that rarely slows down. This episode is about awareness, agency, and learning how to engage without losing yourself in the process.If you've felt overwhelmed without knowing why, this is your invitation to reclaim your inner bandwidth before something else decides for you.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#454 | How Entertainment Can Turn You On - https://apple.co/4bBi7HU #464 | The Skills You Need for Unbreakable Focus - https://apple.co/4pIw2PO Learn more about:
In this episode of The GoodKind Podcast, Clayton Greene, Amy Kavanaugh, and Chris Pappalardo talk about family road trips—and why car time holds a unique kind of power for connection.From screen time debates to nostalgic memories of road trip games and long conversations, the hosts explore how modern families navigate travel while still making space for meaningful interaction. They reflect on how the car creates an unusual environment: physically close, removed from daily distractions, and often more open to honest conversation.The conversation also draws parallels to biblical journeys, noting how travel has long been a context for formation, teaching, and transformation. Rather than rushing through the drive, the hosts invite listeners to embrace the inefficiency of road trips—trusting that the slow, unplanned moments along the way often shape families just as much as the destination.Takeaways Car time creates a unique space for conversation that doesn't exist at home—or on planes.Road trips work because they're inefficient, not in spite of it.Screens don't automatically ruin connection—they can sometimes make it possible.Meaningful family conversations can't be scheduled or forced; they emerge over time.Travel time is one of the key moments Scripture names for forming faith in kids.The enclosed, shared space of a car invites vulnerability and openness.Non-productive togetherness often forms families more than structured activities.The journey itself can shape relationships as much as the destination.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Family Road Trips00:58 The Importance of Car Time08:22 Preparing for the Road Trip15:42 The Unique Opportunity of Road Trips23:13 Creating Meaningful Conversations32:13 Embracing Inefficiency in Family Travel36:36 Conclusion and Final Thoughtsfamily road trips, car conversations, meaningful family time, parenting tips, screen time balance, family bonding, travel games, spiritual habits, GoodKind Podcast, family togetherness
Some people avoid pain with distractions. In this episode, the Wisdom of the Sages community does something far rarer: they learn how to move through emotional heaviness with faith—without rushing, bypassing, or pretending everything is fine. From inner churning and grief to confusion about work, purpose, and spiritual," Raghunath and Kaustubha offer a grounded bhakti lens for processing the darker, harder seasons of life and letting them deepen—not derail—your practice. Recorded live during retreat time at Govardhan Eco Village, this Q&A is a reminder that spiritual life isn't about having a perfectly curated mind. It's about learning where to place your shelter when the mind gets loud, when the heart feels tender, and when life forces you to face what you'd rather avoid. Key Highlights: * How to move through emotional heaviness with faith—without trying to fix yourself or rush the process * Why difficult seasons can strengthen faith in Kṛṣṇa and loosen false faith in the material world * Practical guidance for handling spiritual "shoulds" (cultural expectations, opinions, mixed messages) without losing the main thing * What "surrender" looks like in real time: Kṛṣṇa as protector, provider, and the steady center when everything else shakes * Meaningful work vs. paying the bills: how to stay devotional in an imperfect workplace—and keep your integrity intact * The role of community when life gets hard: why you're not meant to process heavy things alone

Meaningful. Beautiful. Intimate.Three simple words - yet they shaped an entire moment in time.In today's episode, “Three Words Shaped My Birthday Celebration; Here's Why They Matter For You,” Jacquette shares how these words became the foundation for her celebration.

SHOW SCHEDULE1-13-251868 PUBLISHER'S ROW NYC Guests: Elizabeth Peek and John Batchelor. Batchelor and Peek discuss inflation holding firm at 2.7% in December. They evaluate falling gasoline prices and strong holiday retail performance as indicators of improving consumer sentiment. Peek also critiques a DOJ investigation into Jerome Powell, labeling it an "unforced error" that might inadvertently extend Powell's tenure. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. This segment addresses political dissent in Minnesota following a tragedy involving an ICE agent. Peek argues that liberal activists are nationalizing the incident to demonize law enforcement. She views this as partisan positioning for the midterms, intended as a weapon to be used against President Trump. Guests: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus Matter. Dempsey explains that the EU lacks a cohesive strategy for Irandespite a consensus on increasing sanctions. Regarding Ukraine, she highlights staggering divisions among European states as the U.S. withdraws military help. Dempsey notes a ceasefire remains unlikely because Russiacurrently has no interest in negotiations. Guests: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus Matter. The discussion focuses on Chancellor Friedrich Merz's efforts to address immigration to counter the populist AfD party. Dempsey explores the nuances of refugee integration into the German workforce. Finally, she reports European "horror" at potential U.S. moves to annex Greenland, which could threaten the survival of NATO. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. China faces a "sluggish zombie economy" characterized by a burst property bubble and anemic consumption. Sternberg warns of "Japanification," where growth remains stagnant for decades. Beijingstruggles with price deflation, further burdening a heavily indebted economy. Meaningful recovery requires political reforms Xi Jinping resists. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. President Trump is reportedly using an investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell as a pretext to influence interest rate decisions. Sternberg notes that while central banks like the Bank of England strive for independence, they are increasingly politicized. Additionally, Western media outlets like the BBC initially faced criticism for slow coverage of Iranian massacres. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Intense protests in Iran, sparked by decades of mismanagement, have led to a violent crackdown by the regime. Schanzer highlights that these demonstrations are uniquely supported by President Trump's rhetoric. Reza Pahlavi has emerged as a potential figurehead for a transitional government or constitutional monarchy, as the population remains largely pro-Western. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Syria's new central government remains extremely fragile, with authority barely extending beyond Damascus as factions clash in Aleppo. Schanzer describes a "Sunni jihadist regime" facing retribution from sectarian minorities. Meanwhile, regional tensions escalate as Israel and Iran reportedly narrowly avoided direct conflict, prompting Russia to evacuate its embassy. Guest: Dr. Brenda Shaffer. Iran is a multi-ethnic state where Persians constitute less than 40% of the population. Shaffer explains that while current protests are Persian-led, the regime's survival often depends on the participation of ethnic minorities like Azerbaijanis, Kurds, and Baluch. These groups frequently engage in direct retribution against security forces. Guest: General Blaine Holt (retired). Holt discusses potential U.S. intervention to support Iranian protesters, emphasizing strikes on command nodes rather than ground troops. While the U.S. maintains air superiority, putting special operators on the ground carries high risk. The Iranian people face a critical window of days to succeed before facing stunning reprisals. Guest: Brandon Weichert. Iranian protesters face a brutal regime that may utilize a "Samson Option," firing all missiles at Israel if the government falls. Weichert notes that while the Israelis and CIA have covert assets on the ground, the protest movement lacks a cohesive leader. Proposals for restoring the Pahlavi dynasty are criticized as an impractical solution. Guest: Brandon Weichert. Turmoil in Iran threatens China's energy security, as Beijing receives roughly 70-80% of Iranian oil. Weichert suggests Russia and China are using the crisis to test anti-Starlink technologies. Furthermore, the regime might import foreign terrorists to suppress domestic dissent, while the U.S. provides behind-the-scenes support to the movement. Guest: Gregory Copley. Iran's collapse could dismantle the "International North-South Transport Corridor," a vital trade route for Russia and India. Copley argues that the Iranian public is increasingly secular, with the youth rejecting clerical authority. While the regime may fire remaining missiles in desperation, a post-clerical Irancould ignite Central Asian economic potential. Guest: Gregory Copley. Although the U.S. promises help, Copley warns that a ground invasion is physically difficult and historically unsuccessful. There are signs that Iranian police and some Revolutionary Guard units are refusing to fire on protesters. Ultimately, the Iranian people must take ownership of the revolution to ensure the legitimacy of any successor government. Guest: Gregory Copley. Following the arrest of Maduro, Venezuela is controlled by four competing "crime families." Copley notes the absence of a clear U.S. plan for citizens facing food and medical insecurity. The U.S.seeks to enforce an oil embargo against Cuba, which is currently suffering from infrastructure collapse and electric grid failures. Guest: Gregory Copley. Reza Pahlavi proposes a constitutional monarchy where the crown serves as a symbolic figurehead, similar to the British system. Copley highlights Pahlavi's unique name recognition and legitimacy as the former crown prince. However, air power alone cannot decisively change the situation on the ground, requiring covert support after the clerics collapse.
Guest: Joseph Sternberg. China faces a "sluggish zombie economy" characterized by a burst property bubble and anemic consumption.

While the U.S. maintains air superiority, putting special operators on the ground carries high risk. The Iranian people face a critical window of days to succeed before facing stunning reprisals. Guest: Brandon Weichert. Iranian protesters face a brutal regime that may utilize a "Samson Option," firing all missiles at Israel if the government falls. Weichert notes that while the Israelis and CIA have covert assets on the ground, the protest movement lacks a cohesive leader. Proposals for restoring the Pahlavi dynasty are criticized as an impractical solution. Guest: Brandon Weichert. Turmoil in Iran threatens China's energy security, as Beijing receives roughly 70-80% of Iranian oil. Weichert suggests Russia and China are using the crisis to test anti-Starlink technologies. Furthermore, the regime might import foreign terrorists to suppress domestic dissent, while the U.S. provides behind-the-scenes support to the movement. Guest: Gregory Copley. Iran's collapse could dismantle the "International North-South Transport Corridor," a vital trade route for Russia and India. Copley argues that the Iranian public is increasingly secular, with the youth rejecting clerical authority. While the regime may fire remaining missiles in desperation, a post-clerical Irancould ignite Central Asian economic potential. Guest: Gregory Copley. Although the U.S. promises help, Copley warns that a ground invasion is physically difficult and historically unsuccessful. There are signs that Iranian police and some Revolutionary Guard units are refusing to fire on protesters. Ultimately, the Iranian people must take ownership of the revolution to ensure the legitimacy of any successor government. Guest: Gregory Copley. Following the arrest of Maduro, Venezuela is controlled by four competing "crime families." Copley notes the absence of a clear U.S. plan for citizens facing food and medical insecurity. The U.S.seeks to enforce an oil embargo against Cuba, which is currently suffering from infrastructure collapse and electric grid failures. Guest: Gregory Copley. Reza Pahlavi proposes a constitutional monarchy where the crown serves as a symbolic figurehead, similar to the British system. Copley highlights Pahlavi's unique name recognition and legitimacy as the former crown prince. However, air power alone cannot decisively change the situation on the ground, requiring covert support after the clerics collapse.

Happiness expert Monique Rhodes explains why retirement often feels disorienting at first — and how creating a personal retirement roadmap can turn this transition into one of the most fulfilling stages of life. Retirement is often marketed as the ultimate reward. After decades of work, deadlines, and responsibility, you finally arrive at a chapter filled with freedom, rest, and happiness. But for many people, that moment doesn't feel the way they expected. In this episode of Retire Today, I sat down with Monique Rhodes, a happiness expert who works with people around the world — especially those approaching or entering retirement — to talk about why this transition can feel unsettling and how to approach it with intention. Why Retirement Can Feel So Uncomfortable For years, work provides structure, identity, and a built-in sense of purpose. Then one day, it's gone. Monique explained that retirement often removes all of that at once. “The structure, the identity, the daily sense of purpose — they all fall away at the same time,” she said. What's left can feel like freedom… or confusion. In fact, research shows that many people experience lower happiness in the first year of retirement than when they were working. Feelings of restlessness, anxiety, loneliness, and even grief are common — but rarely talked about. This doesn't mean retirement was a mistake. It means the transition requires more than financial preparation alone. Comfort vs. Happiness One of the most thought-provoking ideas Monique shared is that too much comfort can actually work against happiness. She described how modern life is designed to remove friction — from climate-controlled homes to effortless entertainment. But living without any “edge” can dull creativity, resilience, and engagement. “If we're consistently living in comfort, we lose our ability to adapt,” she explained. Happiness, she argues, comes from a balance — not too tense, not too relaxed. Monique used powerful metaphors throughout the conversation, from surfing ocean waves to tuning a guitar string. Too loose or too tight, and it doesn't work. The same is true for life in retirement. Retirement Is Not a Holiday — It's a Redesign Many people enter retirement expecting it to feel like a permanent vacation. Monique sees this expectation create unnecessary disappointment. “Retirement is sold to us as a never-ending holiday,” she said. “But when that structure disappears overnight, people are suddenly faced with the question of who they are.” This is where her Retirement Roadmap comes in — a framework designed to help people intentionally rebuild purpose, routines, relationships, and meaning. Rather than drifting through unstructured time, retirees are encouraged to create days that feel energizing and aligned with who they are now — not who their job required them to be. Rebuilding Purpose From the Inside Out One of the most powerful moments in the conversation was when Monique talked about building a new relationship with yourself. After years of serving careers, businesses, and families, many retirees struggle to answer a simple question: What do I enjoy? Monique often starts by asking clients to think back to childhood interests — art, music, movement, creativity — and explore those again without pressure. “Your purpose isn't gone,” she said. “It's just no longer handed to you by a job description.” She emphasized that this phase of life offers something rare: the freedom to choose intentionally — where you live, how you spend your time, who you invest energy in, and what brings joy. Three Questions Worth Asking Toward the end of our conversation, Monique shared three questions she believes are foundational for a fulfilling retirement: Where do I want to be that makes me happiest? What do I want to do that makes me happiest? Who do I want to be with that makes me happiest? These questions don't have one-time answers. They evolve — and that's part of the beauty of this stage of life. The Bottom Line Retirement isn't just a financial transition. It's a psychological and emotional one as well. When approached consciously, it can become one of the most liberating and meaningful chapters of life — not because everything is perfect, but because you're living with intention.
