With the advent of the digital age, individuals rely on countless personal devices, each one expanding their exposure to cybercrime. Missing one or two software updates may seem harmless, but this common negligence leaves us vulnerable to cyberattacks. With the number of individuals falling prey to cybercrime increasing on a yearly basis, we must ask: Why have established cybersecurity measures failed to halt or slow down the activity of cybercriminals? And what can we do to better protect ourselves and others?In this episode, Shane interviews Greg Oslan, chairman and CEO of the National Cybersecurity Center, on how we can do just that. Oslan has previously served as a managing partner at One Strategy Group consulting, CEO of Arturo, and a strategic adviser for the US Department of Homeland Security.

Thomas J. Hayes describes why the Mag 7 will likely underperform the S&P 500 in 2026. He believes the massive investment needed for AI technology impairs free cash flow and margins for these companies. Instead, Hayes favors businesses that use AI to cut costs and improve efficiency, such as Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) and Nov Inc. (NOV). He also highlights an opportunity in the energy sector, noting its current low weighting in the S&P 500.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Paul prayed for God to take away the "thorn in the flesh" that was troubling him, a messenger of satan, yet God allowed the buffeting as a means of checking his pride.  God knows what we are capable of, and He has a reason for allowing pain to afflict our flesh.  God's promise is abundant grace to deal with the problem of pain and His strength when we run out of our own.

Power without principle always finds a way to dress itself up. Today we take a sober walk through history, Scripture, and conscience to ask whether a nation can thrive after pushing God to the margins. We contrast the empty promises of control-first ideologies with the hard, hopeful demands of a Christ-shaped public life: repentance, truth-telling, courage, and care for the weak.We start by challenging party loyalty that eclipses moral clarity. Measures over men becomes more than a slogan—Davy Crockett's words remind us that integrity is worth more than applause. From there, we open Matthew 12, where Jesus exposes divided kingdoms and calls fruit the final test. If our policies harm the vulnerable while our rhetoric sounds pure, the harvest tells the truth. That biblical lens frames a striking moment from 1861: a federal judge sentencing a slave-trade captain, urging repentance, and anchoring justice in God's character. It's a snapshot of courts that once spoke openly of moral law and human dignity.The thread continues through Psalms and Proverbs, pushing back against envy of the violent and the myth of moral neutrality. We confront complicity, the quiet that enables cruelty, and the drift that turns a cleaned house into a haunted one. The alternative is not utopia but a return: placing God at the center of private lives and public duties, evaluating leaders and policies by their fruit, and protecting the widow, the orphan, the poor, and the unseen. That path asks more of us and gives more to those who need us.If this conversation sharpened your thinking, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review so others can find it.

Do homeschoolers really need tests and grades to prove learning is happening? In this episode, we unpack why so many parents feel pressured to measure progress the “school way,” even when it might not align with how their kids actually learn. We talk honestly about the limited role testing can play, the very real downsides of over-relying on data, and the many meaningful ways growth shows up in everyday life.

This episode of Quality Matters features Rupa Valdez, Professor at the University of Virginia; Polina Lissin, NCQA Senior Healthcare Analyst; and Elizabeth Ryder, NCQA Assistant Director of Product Management.Together, they unpack the meaning of disability in health care, the importance of self‑identification and how NCQA is working to improve outcomes for people with disabilities. The conversation bridges academic, policy and real-life perspectives, making a compelling case for why disability is central to quality improvement.Listen to learn about:Disability and Destiny: One in four Americans has a disability. That prevalence understates everyone who will have a disability. Defining and Measuring Disability: Policymakers and disability advocates agree that people with disabilities should define their own disability status. Measures of population health and quality must adjust accordingly. NCQA's Contributions and Innovations: New standards for Health Outcomes Accreditation and the Disability Description of Membership measure in HEDIS 2026 show disability can be a valuable lens for assessing quality. Designing for Inclusion: From curb cuts in sidewalks to adjustable exam tables, accessibility is a design principle that improves life for everyone—not just those who identify as disabled.This episode is an essential resource for quality advocates, policymakers, accreditation professionals and others committed to improving care for all. It underscores that disability is not a niche issue but something that affects nearly all of us, eventually. By accounting for disability, health care can be better and more accessible for everyone.Key Quote:“The reason to use words like illness and impairment is someone may have a functional limitation but not identify with the term disability. That's common in some groups, like older adults, where having some physical limitation may lead to experiences similar to someone who would identify as being disabled. But that person might not identify with the term disability.Different people identify with different terms that underlie that same need for accommodation and access. Someone may consider themselves disabled but not have that same limitation—because of technology, the way the physical space has been built or laid out—may not actually experience that functional limitation.So wording needs to be broad and encompassing to capture the range of experiences within the disability community.” -Rupa Valdez, PhDTime Stamps:(01:46) Understanding Disability in Health Care(03:40) Challenges in Measuring Disability Care(07:30) Addressing Ableist Bias(12:29) Building Better Standards and Measures for Disability Care(18:52) Tips on Improving Care for People with DisabilitiesDive Deeper:NCQA Health Outcomes AccreditationHEDIS Disability Description of Membership (DDM)Connect with Rupa ValdezConnect with Polina LissinConnect with Elizabeth Ryder Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

he Caudine Forks and the Dangers of Half-Measures — Gaius & Germanicus — Germanicus and Gaius center their discussion on the instructive Roman historical lesson of the Caudine Forks: a victor must either completely annihilate the enemy or embrace them as genuine allies; choosing the treacherous middle path of ritual humiliation and subordination ensures future vengeance and perpetual instability. Germanicus applies this ancient strategic principle to contemporary geopolitics, arguing that the United States consistently fails this historical test by demanding submission—symbolized by forcing nations beneath the ritualistic "yoke"—without achieving total conquest that transforms hostile nations into obedient subordinate "bricks" within a durable imperial structure. Gaius and Germanicus cite the Treaty of Versailles and the post-Cold War treatment of Russia as prime historical examples where deliberate humiliation without comprehensive conquest bred lasting resentment rather than durable peace, establishing the foundation for subsequent conflicts and nationalist backlash. Germanicus characterizes this approach as reflecting American "narcissism," the desire for dominance without willingness to wage total war, thereby explaining systemic American failures in Iraq, Afghanistan, and contemporary tensions with Iran. Germanicus and Gaius warn against applying this "halfway yoke" framework to emerging challenges with Venezuela or Russia, instead counseling that it is strategically safer to permit regimes to decay internally through entropy rather than provoke nationalist backlash through external military or political pressure. Gaius concludes by characterizing current European leaders as "aggressive dependents" psychologically clinging to the Ukraine conflict to artificially preserve their own fragile domestic political authority and suppress internal dissent regarding failing governance.

As the year wraps up, so do the “Top Under 30, 40, 50” lists, power rankings, and glossy features that suggest success is public, polished, and linear.In this episode, we take a clear-eyed look at why these lists can be inspiring but also alienating, and why so many brilliant, hardworking women still feel like they're falling behind.Then, we shift the focus to a more grounded, sustainable way to measure progress, one that doesn't rely on headlines, algorithms, or someone else's definition of success.We walk through a set of practical, reflective questions to help you define what success really means to you, and explore how chasing visibility without alignment can lead to burnout, distraction, and disconnection from your purpose.Click here for Show Notes and a simple year-end reflection exercise.If you enjoy the episode share it with a friend, leave us a review and don't forget to hit the subscribe button.

Affordability and Economic Policy Trump says his administration is taking “historic action” to lower costs for American consumers. Key measures include: Rolling back fuel economy standards (terminating Biden-era CAFE standards). Criticism of electric vehicle mandates and environmental regulations, calling them part of the “Green New Scam.” Emphasis on keeping gasoline-powered cars widely available. Trump says these changes will make cars more affordable and protect American auto jobs. Mentions broader affordability goals: lowering prices of groceries, gas, and everyday goods. Mark Meadows comments on potential $2,000 “Trump tariff checks” to help offset inflation and rising costs. Immigration Crackdown and National Security Trump administration announces a freeze on legal migration pathways for nationals from 19 countries pending security checks. Countries include Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Venezuela, and others considered “high-risk.” Policy aims to review immigration benefits granted under Biden and prevent entry of individuals who could pose security threats. Measures include halting asylum claims, green card approvals, and naturalization ceremonies for affected populations. Trump frames this as a response to recent attacks on U.S. personnel and concerns about sleeper cells. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
