Paul sits down with Dr. Jim Taylor — performance psychologist, former U.S. Ski Team competitor, and founder of Prime Mind for a conversation that traces a career built on a single insight. The mind is the final frontier, and almost none of us know how to work it. Jim's origin story is disarmingly honest. He was a good ski racer with a bad head, the kind coaches used to call a head case. One summer psychology course in high school changed the trajectory of his athletic career, and eventually his entire life. He walks Paul through what actually changed that season (not the strength, not the technique, the internal architecture) and why he decided somewhere around age nineteen that psychology hadn't been a choice so much as a calling. The heart of the conversation is the mental work Jim now teaches. Confidence isn't a skill, it's a muscle. Visualization isn't a nice-to-have — the primitive mind can't tell the difference between an imagined rep and a real one, and Jim used that mechanism to rewire his own belief system on the way to an international-level career. Resilience is fundamentally a perception problem. And the "good road / bad road" fork, he says, is often not a conscious choice at all — which is why most people stay on the bad road even when they know exactly where it ends. The episode's emotional center is the weight vest metaphor. Jim describes what happens when an athlete steps into competition carrying twenty pounds of expectation, identity, and self-worth on their shoulders. He walks through Alyssa Liu's Olympic story as an example of what the release actually looks like, opens up about his recent decision to walk away from a startup he'd invested two years into, and unveils the app-based extension of his practice Prime Mind that he built in the two-and-a-half months since he left. It closes on a legacy answer that quietly matches Paul's own help people see themselves before they know how to see themselves.   Timestamps 00:00 — Welcome and introduction 00:30 — The head case origin story 02:00 — The summer course that changed everything 03:30 — The breakthrough season on the U.S. Ski Team 05:00 — Middlebury, Psych 101, and the calling 06:30 — Purpose and passion as a fill-in-the-blank question 08:00 — Why startup building feels riskier than skiing 09:30 — Network, credibility, and the ski racing runway 11:00 — Performance psychology beyond sport 12:30 — Confidence, self-talk, and mental imagery 14:00 — The primitive mind and positive reps 15:30 — Rewiring belief through visualization 17:00 — Resilience as a mental muscle 18:30 — The good road and the bad road 20:00 — Post-medal letdown and identity loss 21:30 — Athlete to performer identity shift 23:00 — Alyssa Liu and the weight vest release 25:00 — Toxic sports cultures 26:00 — Walking away from a two-year startup 28:00 — Building Prime Mind solo in ten weeks 30:00 — The B2C and B2B model 31:30 — Favorite client stories and the mind as final frontier 33:00 — Legacy as long game 34:00 — Where to find Dr. Jim and Prime Mind Episode Resources Discover how Dr. Jim Taylor helps athletes, executives, performers, and high-achievers of every kind take the weight vest off and access the mental muscles that make peak performance sustainable — through one-on-one work, keynote and workshop content, and his new app Prime Mind: www.drjimtaylor.com Legacy Podcast: For more information about the Legacy Podcast and its co-hosts, visit https://businesslegacypodcast.com Leave a Review: If you enjoyed the episode, leave a review and rating on your preferred podcast platform.

How can billions of video game clips train AI to control robots? General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte explains why gaming data may be the missing ingredient for the next generation of robotics and AI agents.Pim de Witte built the world's largest RuneScape private server as a teenager before founding Medal, one of the biggest gaming clip platforms in the world. Today, Medal processes roughly one billion gameplay clips every year, creating a unique dataset that powers General Intuition's AI models for robotics, world models, and autonomous agents.In this conversation with Eric Newcomer, Pim explains why video games may be one of the most valuable training grounds for artificial intelligence, how gaming data transfers to real world robotics, why humanoid robots may not be the future, and what AI means for gamers, developers, and the future of work.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single question runs like a thread through everything we talk about here: what are you waiting for? We start with Acts 22 as Paul recounts his calling, his repentance, and the simple, urgent command to obey God, then we pair it with Psalm 1's picture of a life planted by living water. From the first minutes, we're not aiming for vague inspiration. We're aiming for a clear look at how faith in Jesus Christ shows up in real decisions and real priorities.We also bring up a heartbreaking public case involving a missing teen and the broader failure of communities to protect children, using it to press a bigger point about moral courage and leadership. From there, the conversation turns to the closest proving ground most of us face every day: marriage and family. If we can give hours to phones, sports, TV, social media, and endless distractions but claim we have no time for our spouse, our actions speak louder than our words. Love is not a slogan. Love is time, attention, and the willingness to treat what matters to them as something that matters to us.We close with a reminder that courage and conviction are not new in American life, from a Medal of Honor story to reflections on American Christian heritage, including Herbert Hoover's use of Proverbs and Benjamin Rush's argument that the gospel shapes moral sensibility. If you care about biblical literacy, Christian marriage, family values, and the role of Scripture in public life, this one will challenge you and steady you.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Your priorities are not what you say they are, they're what you fund with your time, energy, and attention. We start with a blunt biblical reminder from Acts 20 and the words of Jesus: hard work and open hands are not optional add-ons to faith, they're evidence of it. From there, we wrestle with the cost of public choices that affect the vulnerable, including a real-world crime story used to argue that immigration policy and Christian responsibility cannot be separated.We then turn inward to the home. We read Song of Solomon 7 and talk about biblical marriage in plain terms: honor your spouse, pursue faithfulness, and stop letting screens, sports, and constant distraction crowd out the people you claim to love most. The challenge is simple but hard: if we can binge, scroll, and drift for hours, we can also show up with intention for our marriage, our kids, and our walk with God.Next, we move through Acts 20 as Paul warns church leaders about false teachers, personal ambition, and wolves among the flock. We also talk about the meaning of “the church” as the worldwide body of believers, not a denominational club with locked doors. Finally, we spotlight a Medal of Honor story and revisit the Founding Fathers on democracy versus a constitutional republic, using Madison and Adams to ask what kind of civic culture actually protects security, rights, and ordered liberty.Subscribe for more conversations grounded in Scripture, share this with a friend who needs a reset on priorities, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A proverb can sound calm until you apply it to real life: “It is not right to acquit the guilty or deny justice to the innocent.” We start there, using Proverbs 18 to talk about wisdom that runs deep and justice that can't be bent without breaking a nation's trust. When accountability gets selective, victims get forgotten and the culture learns the wrong lesson. From that foundation, we slow down and let Scripture do the heavy lifting. We pray for you, your family, and our leaders, then read a marriage passage from Song of Solomon that honors covenant love. After that, Acts 19 takes us to Ephesus, where the gospel threatens an entire industry built on idols and the city erupts into confusion. It's a vivid picture of what happens when truth collides with profit, reputation, and spiritual counterfeits. We also address a question that keeps surfacing in church life: is Jesus Christ enough, or do you need a specific denomination to be saved? We argue plainly for Jesus Christ alone as the mediator, and we talk about the most practical way to change a country: spread the gospel, live it, and don't outsource discipleship to politics. Along the way we highlight Psalm 147, a Medal of Honor story of Technical Sergeant Charles F. Carey Jr., and a candid take on modern entertainment, ideology, and the possibility of using AI to bypass cultural gatekeepers and rebuild stories around faith and American values. If this stirred something in you, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review.

It was a big deal when the Defense Department approved women being in combat roles. And however you feel about that, I'll tell you this, women being in combat might be new for the military, but they're not new at fighting a good fight. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Women Fighting for What They Love.” I've been there when my wife brought a new life into the world. Believe me, she was a warrior. I've been close by when our daughter and daughters-in-law birthed our grandchildren. A battle they fought and won, big-time. I've joked that if men had to have the babies, the human race would probably be extinct in a generation. I know women who refuse to cave in to the “everybody's doing it” pressure to give up one of their greatest treasures – their virginity. They insist – against the tide – that they will keep sex special for the man they will commit their life to. In many cases, that's a lonely stand – one that merits a moral Medal of Honor. Some will call them weird. I say they're rare – and, like collectibles, the less there are of them, the more valuable they become. There are the women warriors who fight for their marriage when others would have given up. They believe, as God does, that marriage is for life – while their world bombards them with the notion that marriage is until it gets hard. I just checked my Bible. It still says, “They are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Mark 10:8-9). No matter what the latest opinion poll says, it's nice to know you've got God on your side. Can raising a whole and healthy child in this culture be considered anything less than a battle? Today our kids are navigating a spiritual minefield, and it's littered with moral IEDs that can blow up a life. But between many a child and those destructors stands a mom who's fighting for them. Countering the lies of a deceived and deceiving culture with winsome truth about what's really right and what really matters. Lovingly listening as a son or daughter grapples with the inconsistency between the lies they hear at school and the truth they hear at home. This woman winsomely sows – and models day and night – God's ways from the Bible. Because it's “a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” the Bible says (Psalm 119:105). The child who makes God's ways their way can say with the psalmist, “I run in the path of Your commands.” Oh wait, you mean all bound by rules, right? Hardly. It goes on to say, “For You have set my heart free” (Psalm 119:32). And though the battle that rages for a child's life can be scary, the medal-deserving mom doesn't succumb to that paralysis of fear. She knows “God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). She refuses to just play defense, hoping she'll raise a “survivor.” She plays offense, determined to raise a game-changer. The ultimate woman warrior is not the one with the M-16 and the body armor. She knows the ultimate weapon for winning the battle for a life. She's a woman, on her knees, crying out to her all-powerful God for someone she's fighting for. Here's our word for today from the Word of God, 2 Chronicles 20:15, “the battle is not yours, but God's.” This woman knows that prayer unleashes God's power to, in the Bible's words, “demolish strongholds,” to “destroy the Devil's work,” to “remove a heart of stone” and “give you a new heart” (2 Corinthians 10:4; 1 John 3:8; Ezekiel 36:26). She releases the ones she loves to the One who loves them so much more. Yes, women have been fighting life's most decisive battles for a long time. And those who have embraced Jesus as the great love of their life fight their battles with His death-reversing, resurrection power on their side. So if you know one of these women, honor her. Thank her. Treasure her. And pray for her. She, in the words of Scripture, “fights the Lord's battles” (1 Samuel 25:28).

Drop us a note about the podcast. “Don't put your confidence in powerful people.” Psalm 146 doesn't whisper that line, it insists on it, and we take it seriously. We start with praise, then trace what happens to a heart and a nation when hope gets misplaced into leaders, celebrities, and the next big plan that dies the moment a person breathes their last. If you've felt anxious, angry, or numb from the news cycle, this is a return to steady ground: God keeps His promises, lifts the weighed down, and reigns forever.From there, we read Acts 18 through 19 and sit with a model of correction that's rare today. Apollos is gifted and sincere, but he needs fuller truth, so faithful believers take him aside and explain “more accurately.” That becomes our reminder to always go back to Scripture first and foremost. Explanations and commentaries can help, but they cannot replace the text, contradict it, or invent what isn't there. We also hear Proverbs 18 call out a habit that ruins conversations fast: caring more about airing our opinions than gaining understanding.We then wrestle with how people use the Old Testament in debates like illegal immigration, and why biblical compassion can't be separated from surrender to the Lord. We honor Medal of Honor recipient Staff Sergeant Alvin P. Carey, and we challenge the way entertainment and sports can turn into false gods that crowd out gratitude, memory, and discernment. Finally, we talk civics, the American founding, and why the Founders warn against democracy as mob rule while arguing for a republic anchored in virtue.Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

A few weeks ago I went to Newcastle, the Australian one, and spent some time chatting with the voice of Newcastle herself, Carol Duncan OAM. She was ABC Radio's morning presenter for quite some years, then she was a city councillor, and she does a lot of other things too.In this episode we discuss her Medal of the Order of Australia and her status as a Freeman of the City of Newcastle. Also, her time in the music industry, chocolate and other confectionary, and the sheer sexual magnetism of Queensland politician Bob Katter.Full podcast details and credits:https://the9pmedict.com/edict/00274/Please consider supporting the the current crowdfunder:https://the9pmedict.com/spring2026Or if you miss that or prefer to not use Ko-Fi:https://the9pmedict.com/tip/https://skank.com.au/subscribe/

Captain E. Royce Williams is a veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, and he has the historic distinction of fighting the longest known dogfight in American history in the skies over the Sea of Japan on November 18, 1952 where he won an air battle against 7 Soviet Mig 15's. This story of courage, survival and amazing skill remained classified and then largely unpublished until only recently. His achievement and valor were finally acknowledged and celebrated in 2026 with the Medal of Honor.

Drop us a note about the podcast. “Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts.” That line from Psalm 145 isn't poetry we admire and move past. I treat it like a warning light and a mission statement. If we stop telling the truth about God, His goodness, and His standards, something else will teach our kids instead, and it rarely leads them toward peace, courage, or wisdom.From there, I pivot into a hard headline and the claims people make about immigration, violence, and moral responsibility. I know this part will challenge some listeners, but I'd rather speak plainly than hide behind comfortable words. Then we slow down and get grounded again in Scripture: a marriage reading from Song of Solomon that reminds us the Bible speaks honestly about desire inside covenant, and Acts 18 with Paul, Priscilla, and Aquila, where faith shows up in daily work, hospitality, and bold witness.We also talk about antisemitism, Israel, and the spiritual conflict behind many modern narratives. To connect the dots to American history and America's Christian heritage, I share a Medal of Honor spotlight and a line from Joseph Warren after Lexington and Concord: “We determined to die or be free.” Finally, we look at presidential oaths and Proverbs passages that point to accountability before God, and I close with prayer and a call to turn back to Jesus Christ.If you care about the Bible, a Christian worldview, and the future of the country, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#JosephWarren#ChristianNation#AmericanRevolution Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

In this episode, Graham Joseph Hill joins me to talk through how every culture tends to read Jesus through their own lens and how we tend to remake Him in our own image. And when we do that, we tend to follow idols rather than Jesus. In his latest book Ten Movements of the Jesus Way, Graham maps ten typical idols and the turn we need to make to follow Jesus instead. Are we following Jesus, or just following our own culture with Jesus attached?Graham Joseph Hill (PhD, Flinders University) is an adjunct research fellow and associate professor in the School of Theology at Charles Sturt University.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Churches built in the 1800s go up in flames, steeples collapse, and the public line is often the same: “We don't know what caused this.” That shrug should bother us. We start with the uncomfortable pattern of church vandalism and fires, then move to a sharper question: what changes in a culture when it decides Christianity is fair game?From there we open Acts 17 and walk the road with Paul, from Thessalonica to Berea to Athens. The Bereans model something we desperately need today: they listen, then they search the Scriptures day after day to see if it's true. In Athens, Paul finds an altar “To An Unknown God” and uses it to preach the Creator who doesn't live in man-made temples, who rules over nations, and who commands repentance. The resurrection isn't presented as a metaphor, it's the proof that history is headed toward judgment and mercy is available right now.We also pull the lens closer to home with Song of Solomon and a candid talk about marriage, the confusion inside the church, and why biblical roles and responsibilities can't be treated like optional extras. Psalm 144 and Proverbs 17 add practical wisdom: God is our refuge, our days are brief, and a wise person learns when to speak and when to stop.To connect faith with civic life, we remember Medal of Honor Chaplain Vincent Robert Capodanno and revisit John Witherspoon and Noah Webster on choosing leaders of moral character who rule in the fear of God.

She saw the tumor months before the diagnosis. While praying over her seemingly healthy mother, Abby Robertson had a vision so disturbing she could not bring herself to write it down. Two to three months later, her mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, already spreading and beyond surgery. Abby prayed with a certainty she had never felt, convinced God had prepared her to witness a healing. What happened next sent her searching for answers she is still looking for. In this episode, she and Ryan Bethea of The Exorcist Files sit down with Nate and Luke to talk about what it actually means to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, and what to do when the answer is not the one you begged for.Abby is the granddaughter of CBN founder Pat Robertson, and she brings the whole family story with her: a man who sold every possession he owned, moved his family into a rat-infested Bronx apartment, and launched the first Christian television network with three dollars to his name. You will also hear about the honeymoon money given away in obedience and returned tenfold, a Medal of Honor recipient who survived a firefight untouched, and a businessman who asked God to rewire his brain for MIT-level math. Equal parts hilarious and holy, this conversation will make you wonder what God might be saying that you have been missing. This episode is just the beginning.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A jail cell, a midnight hymn, and one terrified question: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” We start with Acts 16 and walk scene by scene through Paul and Silas in prison, the earthquake that breaks chains, and the moment the Philippian jailer realizes he needs something deeper than control. The answer is simple, direct, and worth hearing without filters: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved,” a foundation stone for Christian faith, salvation, and hope that reaches beyond fear.We also slow down for prayer and for scripture that speaks to real distress. Psalm 143 gives words for depression, anxiety, and spiritual exhaustion, and we sit with the idea that doing the right thing can still bring anger, insults, or punishment. Proverbs reinforces the moral clarity: it is wrong to punish the godly for being good. If you're looking for a Christian podcast that treats suffering honestly while still pointing to Jesus Christ, this conversation stays grounded in the text and in daily life.From there we zoom out to Christian citizenship, leadership, and voting. Using Noah Webster's warnings, we talk about why character matters more than labels, why primaries and local choices matter, and how a republic erodes when citizens stop taking responsibility. We also honor courage and service through the Medal of Honor story of James Capers Jr, a reminder to remember sacrifice and teach our kids what duty looks like.If this stirred your thinking, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Joshua Chamberlain had never planned to be a soldier; he wanted to be a minister or a teacher. And yet, when the Civil War began, he felt it was his duty to enlist. He soon became a commander. And in Gettysburg, on a rocky hill called Little Round Top, he gave the order that helped the Union win the battle and made him a legend. But the courage Chamberlain showed in the months and years after this famous moment may be even more impressive. Binge the full season of Medal of Honor, ad-free, with a Pushkin+ subscription.

Drop us a note about the podcast. When you're overwhelmed and it feels like nobody is coming to help, you need words that are sturdy enough to hold the weight. We open with Psalm 142, a prayer that refuses to pretend: crying out, pouring out complaints, and admitting the fear of being cornered. That kind of honesty isn't weakness. It's a pathway back to God as refuge, especially when people fail us and our own strength runs thin.From there, we spend time in Scripture that speaks to everyday life in a real way. Song of Solomon 4 gives a picture of marriage marked by admiration and attentive love, not constant criticism. Acts 15 and 16 then moves into leadership and mission: the sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas, Timothy joining the journey, doors the Holy Spirit closes, and the surprising welcome of Lydia in Philippi. It's a Bible study that highlights guidance, humility, and how God keeps moving even through conflict.We also connect faith to courage and civic responsibility, including a Medal of Honor story and a history-soaked warning about weak leadership. The conversation lands on a challenge we can't dodge: our vote carries moral weight, and treating it casually costs real people real things. If you care about Christian living, biblical encouragement, and taking responsibility seriously, you'll find plenty to chew on here.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#LauraWilson#RotherhamUK#2010#SongofSolomon4:1–7#Acts15:36–16:15#Psalm142:1–7#Proverbs17:24–25#HenryCapehart#USCivilWar#GreenbrierRiverWestVirginia#1864#LeoAmery#HouseofCommons#OliverCromwell#1940#DanielWebsterSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

This week on Born to Watch, it's time for our Air Force One Movie Review, the movie review podcast where we don't take the movies or ourselves too seriously. Whitey, G-Man, and Will the Worky climb aboard one of the most patriotic action films ever made, as Harrison Ford swaps his whip and fedora for the Oval Office and proves that sometimes the President really can save the day.Released in 1997 and directed by Wolfgang Petersen, Air Force One became one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, delivering a simple but irresistible premise. Terrorists hijack the President's plane, take his family hostage and quickly discover they've picked a fight with a Commander-in-Chief who just happens to be a Medal of Honour recipient.The boys dive into whether this 90s action favourite still holds up almost three decades later, or whether nostalgia is doing most of the heavy lifting.Harrison Ford once again proves why he remains one of Hollywood's greatest accidental heroes. Whether he's Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Dr Richard Kimble or President James Marshall, Ford has a knack for making ordinary people believe they can survive extraordinary situations. The team discusses why his grounded style works so well and why he's able to elevate even the most over-the-top action movies.Of course, no discussion of Air Force One would be complete without Gary Oldman. His performance as terrorist Ivan Korshunov is as intense as ever, even if the boys question whether one of cinema's greatest actors deserved a stronger script. Along the way, they celebrate Oldman's incredible career, from Leon and True Romance through to The Dark Knight, Darkest Hour and beyond.As always, the movie quickly becomes secondary to the ridiculous questions that only Born to Watch can ask.Just how many parachutes does Air Force One actually carry?Why is everyone smiling after jumping out of a plane somewhere over Kazakhstan?Does a 1997 satellite phone really keep working at 20,000 feet?Why is there an endless supply of drinks hidden in the cargo hold?And how exactly does one MiG fighter somehow survive an entire squadron attack just so the movie can have one more action sequence?The crew also takes aim at some wonderfully cheesy taglines, debates whether this is one of cinema's greatest presidential action thrillers, and wonders if Australians will ever truly understand America's obsession with the presidency.Elsewhere, G-Man delivers another outstanding Ordinary People segment, covering Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Glenn Close and a cast full of "that guy" character actors you've seen in dozens of movies. There's also a look back at the massive year that was 1997, including Titanic, Men in Black, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Good Will Hunting.Hit, Sleeper or Dud returns with another trio of recommendations, including Wesley Snipes' underrated Murder at 1600, the Spanish original that inspired Vanilla Sky, and one of the greatest movie titles ever discovered in the Dud category.As always, expect plenty of laughs, terrible impressions, completely unnecessary tangents, and more than a few moments where the logic of Hollywood action films is left hanging out the side of the aircraft.So buckle up, secure your tray table, prepare for decompression, and remember one thing...Get off my podcast!If you enjoy what we do, we'd love your support. Subscribe wherever you listen, leave us a five-star review, share the episode with your mates, and follow Born to Watch across social media.

Drop us a note about the podcast. “Jesus plus anything” sounds spiritual, but Acts 15 calls it a burden God never asked us to carry. We walk through the Jerusalem Council and the core claim at the center of Christian faith: God saves Jews and Gentiles the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus. No special badge, no extra mediator, no denomination requirement. Just Christ, and hearts cleansed through faith.Then the conversation turns outward to the real world with a sobering story from London: the murder of Banaz Mahamad in an honor killing after she left an abusive arranged marriage. We use that tragedy to ask uncomfortable questions about what happens when certain belief systems gain power, how communities treat women, and what justice and protection should look like when threats are reported and ignored.We also slow down for prayer, naming anxiety, depression, fear, and persecution, and asking God to guard and strengthen those listening. From there we read Song of Solomon 3:1–4 as a “marriage verse,” noticing the woman's pursuit of her beloved and what that suggests about biblical marriage, desire, and commitment. We close with Psalm 141, a proverb on bribery and justice, a Medal of Honor spotlight, and a striking American Christian heritage quote from Robert Winthrop: a nation will be ruled from within by moral restraint or from without by force, “either the Bible or the bayonet.”Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Today on True Blue Conversations, I sit down with an extraordinary Royal Australian Navy veteran whose career spans more than 35 years of service, multiple operational deployments, and a lifetime of leadership—Fred Campbell OAM. Fred joined the Royal Australian Navy on 8 January 1982 through the Naval Apprentice Scheme as an Air Technical Aircraft fitter. From the flight lines at HMAS Albatross to serving aboard some of Australia's most iconic warships, Fred built an exceptional career supporting the Fleet Air Arm and mentoring generations of sailors. His operational service took him to some of the defining conflicts of the modern era, including Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm in Kuwait, Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks, the Solomon Islands, and Iraq in 2004 aboard HMAS Stuart. During that deployment, Fred was involved in one of the most significant naval incidents of the Iraq War—the USS Firebolt incident—a dramatic and little-known event that tested leadership, courage, and decision-making under extreme pressure. In this conversation, Fred takes us behind the headlines to share what really happened, what he witnessed, and the lessons that have stayed with him ever since. Throughout his distinguished career, Fred served as Command Warrant Officer at HMAS Cerberus, HMAS Creswell, HMAS Melbourne, and HMAS Parramatta, becoming one of the Navy's most respected senior leaders.  His outstanding service was recognised with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 2013 Queen's Birthday Honours, along with numerous Australian and international operational medals and commendations. But service didn't end when Fred hung up the uniform in 2017. Today, he continues to fight for those who have served as the President of the Keith Payne VC AM Veterans Benefit Group, working alongside Australia's only living Victoria Cross recipient from the Vietnam War to support veterans and their families. His commitment to the veteran community, advocacy, and ensuring no veteran is left behind has become his new mission. Beyond service, Fred is a proud husband to a fellow Navy veteran, a father, grandfather, rugby tragic, Harley rider, knife maker, guitarist, barbecue enthusiast, and someone who believes in giving back to the mateship that shaped his life. This is a conversation about leadership, combat, resilience, transition, and continuing to serve long after the uniform comes off. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Fred Campbell OAM Editor: Kyle Watkins

Kyle Morgan spent over twenty years in the Army. Infantry, then Green Beret, then more than a decade in the nation's premier special missions unit running hostage rescue. In 2015 he was advising the U.S. Embassy in Mali when terrorists took the Radisson Blu hotel. He built a team on the fly and went in. The award for that was the Distinguished Service Cross, second only to the Medal of Honor. Today he runs Blu Bearing, trains police and civilians, and serves on the board of Frontline Healing Foundation. When the job ends the machine has already forgotten about you, and he'll tell you that isn't cruel because it has to forget you to keep moving. The guys who come apart are the ones still trying to replace something that can't be replaced. He didn't leave the way he wanted to. There was addiction, a DUI he hid, and an overdose that nearly ended it, and his old command circled the wagons around him more than once before he finally made it out. Sobriety and faith are what brought him back, almost five years of it now, and he spends his time pointing at the cost so the next guy doesn't pay it blind. He'll tell you he's more proud of the husband and father he is today than anything he ever did downrange.  Blu Bearing Solutions: ⁠https://blubearing.com/⁠ Join the Cleared Hot Newsletter: ⁠https://www.clearedhot.com⁠ Take the Operator Code Assessment: ⁠https://www.theoperatorcode.com⁠ Today's Sponsors:  Black Rifle Coffee:  ⁠https://www.blackriflecoffee.com⁠ LMNT: ⁠https://www.drinklmnt.com

Drop us a note about the podcast. Paul gets stoned, dragged out of town, and everyone thinks he's dead. Then the believers gather around him, and he stands up and walks right back into Lystra. That single moment in Acts 14 forces a question most of us try to avoid: what does faithful perseverance look like when following Jesus costs you something real?We read through Paul and Barnabas in Lystra and Derby, including the miracle that sparks a wave of misplaced worship, the sharp backlash that follows, and the steady work of strengthening new believers. Along the way, we lean on Psalm 140 as a prayer for protection from violent and deceitful people, and we reflect on Proverbs 17:22 about how a cheerful heart can be “good medicine” when life feels heavy. If you're searching for biblical courage, Christian resilience, and practical Christian living, these passages land with surprising clarity.From there, we zoom out into influence and character: who you listen to, how far you should follow any public voice, and why small daily choices still shape your home. We also honor service through a Medal of Honor story, then connect virtue, leadership, and Christian education to the long-term health of a nation, arguing that laws can't substitute for moral people.If this gave you something to think about, subscribe, share the podcast with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.#AmericanHeritage#ChristianNation#WilliamPennSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single chapter from Acts turns into a blunt question: when we call something “compassion,” who actually gets protected and who pays the price? We start with Paul and Barnabas in Acts 13, where the gospel moves outward to the Gentiles, and we use that moment to talk about bold speech, rejection, and what it means to be “a light” beyond our own circles.From there, we pivot to a modern case the host says exposes the costs of broken systems: the killing of Kyla Hamilton in Maryland and the allegation that part of the attack was captured on a voicemail. The discussion connects that tragedy to illegal immigration, unaccompanied minors, and the difference between slogans and responsibility. We also slow down and read Scripture that shapes the home as much as the public square, including Song of Solomon on marriage and Psalm 139 on God's intimate knowledge of every life.We then take on religious liberty and the host's argument that freedom of religion is not the same as a license to blaspheme, with a reference to early American legal history. The episode closes with Proverbs, a Medal of Honor citation for Pedro Cano, and quotes attributed to John Jay and revival-era leaders on Christians engaging politics to preserve the freedoms needed to live and preach their faith.If you found this thought-provoking, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A few lines from Psalm 138 can hit differently when life feels dangerous, unfair, or out of control. We start there, then we face a grim headline out of Bel Air, Maryland: the rape and murder of Rachel Moran and the arrest that followed after a DNA match. It is heavy, but we do not linger for shock. We use it to ask a harder question: what do our actions, votes, and loyalties actually reveal about our character and priorities?From that tension, we turn to prayer and Scripture with a clear focus on the gospel. We read from Acts 13 as Paul traces God's faithfulness through Israel's history and points to Jesus as the promised Savior, risen from the dead. The takeaway is simple and uncompromising: forgiveness of sins comes through Jesus Christ alone. Not a denomination. Not a personality. Not politics. Just Christ, received by faith and marked by repentance and a changed life.We also bring it down to the daily level with a practical Bible reading plan: Proverbs. One chapter a day, five minutes, real wisdom that shows up in decision-making, relationships, and self-control. Along the way, we honor Medal of Honor recipient George Ham Cannon for courage under fire, then we close with civic warning and responsibility through a James Garfield quote and a reminder that Scripture and founding documents can be twisted when hearts are not honest.If this conversation helps you think clearly and live faithfully, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#Bible#DailyScripture #JamesGarfield Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

How do you make people care about your documentary?Facts alone rarely make an audience care. The emotional core of a documentary lives somewhere else. In this episode of Documentary First, filmmaker Christian Taylor tells the story of how she found the heartbeat her film about the Battle of Carentan was missing. It was not in the archives. It was in the memories of a man who was six years old when the war came for his town.For months, Christian's film Heroes of Carentan felt stuck in what one WWII veteran called the “data of history,” the maps, the dates, and the military maneuvers. Everything shifted when she met Yves Marchais. In June 1944, Yves was a small boy living under German occupation in Carentan, France. This year he sent Christian thirteen letters recording what he remembered, and those letters gave the historical record a soul.It comes down to a lesson every documentary filmmaker learns the hard way: audiences do not connect to issues or information, they connect to people. Anchored by a line from Pfc. John E. Fitzgerald, a runner for Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Col. Robert Cole, this episode argues that the essence of history is not its record but its heartbeat. Yves calls his own account his “hummingbird's share,” not the whole war, but the small, vivid pieces that passed before a child's eyes. His story becomes a lesson in telling a big historical event through one small, personal one.In this episode, you'll learn:Why facts and figures alone rarely move an audienceHow to find the emotional core, or heartbeat, of a documentaryWhy audiences connect to people, not to issues or informationHow to tell a big historical story through one small, personal oneWhat Pfc. John E. Fitzgerald meant when he warned that history can lose its heartbeatWhy one person's story can carry an entire historical eventWhat the “hummingbird's share” is, and why small memories matter more than big onesHow the Battle of Carentan looked through the eyes of a six-year-old boyHow Yves Marchais and his family survived the occupation and liberation of CarentanWhy the story a filmmaker starts with is often not the story worth tellingWhat the series Band of Brothers has to do with the real Battle of CarentanHow to know when your film has finally found its emotional coreChapters:00:00 Meeting a survivor of Carentan01:15 13 letters and Band of Brothers02:26 Life under German occupation04:01 D-Day and the kitchen sink05:27 Fleeing an empty Carentan06:59 The trench and liberation08:45 Colonel Cole and the runner10:57 The lesson: find your heartbeatFrequently Asked Questions:How do you find the emotional core of a documentary?Facts and chronology rarely move an audience on their own. The emotional core, what host Christian Taylor calls the heartbeat, usually lives in one person's specific, lived experience rather than in the broad historical record. In this episode she describes finding it in the memories of Yves Marchais, a French civilian who was six during the Battle of Carentan, and building the film's meaning around his point of view.How do you make an audience care about a documentary subject?Audiences connect to people far more than to issues or information. The most reliable way to make viewers care about a large subject, a war, a movement, a crisis, is to tell it through one specific person whose experience makes the bigger story personal. In this episode, Christian Taylor builds her film about the Battle of Carentan around a single child's memories rather than the broad military record.What was the Battle of Carentan?The Battle of Carentan was a June 1944 fight for the town of Carentan in Normandy, France, a key objective linking the American forces landing at Utah and Omaha beaches. The 101st Airborne Division, including units later made famous by Band of Brothers, fought to take the town, which was liberated on June 12, 1944.Who is Yves Marchais?Yves Marchais is a French man who, as a six-year-old boy, lived through the German occupation and the 1944 liberation of Carentan. Decades later he recorded his childhood memories of the war in a series of letters, which became the emotional core of Christian Taylor's documentary. He calls his account his “hummingbird's share,” the small, true pieces of history he witnessed firsthand.What did Pfc. John Fitzgerald mean about history losing its heartbeat?Pfc. John E. Fitzgerald, who served as a runner for Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Col. Robert Cole, wrote that the data of history should not lose its heartbeat as it becomes information, or all that remains is the record without the essence. Christian Taylor uses that idea as the key to her film: the facts of a battle matter, but the human story is what makes people care.About the Film and the Story:Heroes of Carentan is Christian Taylor's in-production documentary about the 1944 liberation of Carentan, Normandy, told through the people who lived it. Yves Marchais was six years old during the battle. His firsthand account of the occupation, the bombing, his family's escape through a deserted town, and the moment of liberation forms the emotional center of the film. This episode is the second part of Christian's story about finding that center.About Documentary First:Documentary First is a weekly podcast about the craft, business, and truth of documentary filmmaking. Host Christian Taylor is a documentary filmmaker (The Girl Who Wore Freedom), actor, voice actor, and podcast host based in the United States. Each week she explores what it takes to tell true stories that move people, through interviews with filmmakers and solo episodes drawn from her own work.Resources Mentioned:The Colonel and the Runner, by Pfc.

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) is moving from an experimental monetization channel toward a more established part of game publishing, but adoption remains uneven. Host Devin Becker is joined by David Stelzer, CSO of Appcharge, to discuss findings from the company's recent report and what they reveal about the current state of DTC. They examine why more than half of studios are still making few meaningful changes, what separates the small group of innovators pulling ahead, and where developers continue to misunderstand web stores, player behavior, and the operational demands of running DTC effectively. The conversation also looks ahead to dedicated DTC teams, standardized technology stacks, broader adoption beyond games, and what winning in DTC could look like over the next three to five years.We'd like to thank Medal.tv for making this episode possible.

AFTER THE WAR, Claire Phillips was hailed as a hero. Even before she was back in North America, her hometown newspaper was singing her praises. Soon afterward, Reader's Digest picked up the story and spread it nationwide. She wrote a memoir of her war activities, Manila Espionage, and it was published in 1947. The following year, at Fort Lewis, Gen. Mark Clark presented her with the Medal of Freedom, America's highest award for a civilian. The accolades kept coming... until suddenly, one day, they didn't.

“Guadalcanal is not the name of an island. It is the name of the graveyard of the Japanese army.”This is the story of America's first major offensive in the Pacific since Midway.Amid hard fighting among the frozen peaks of Attu at the tail end of Alaska's Aleutian Islands, the Americans are gaining ground. But the cost is steep. Carrying out banzai charges, Japanese soldiers are prepared to fight to the last man. This is the case in the Solomon Islands as well, where US Marines—or "Uncle Sam's Miserable Children," as they call themselves—are storming the beaches of Guadalcanal. The island is only barely held, largely thanks to the almost unbelievable bravery of Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant John Basilone.Meanwhile, American codebreakers have obtained Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku's flight plans.

President Donald Trump awarded Major James Capers, Jr. with the Medal of Honor on June 18th. Here's what Capers did to deserve it and what you can do to honor his service. GUEST: Josh Firestine

Trump kicks off his Fourth of July celebration at the Theodore Roosevelt Library, where he muses about giving his two sons and himself the Medal of Honor — describing doing so as a "threesome." Jon and Dan react to Trump's plans for Independence Day, including a Guinness World Records fireworks display, a marathon speech in 107-degree heat, and a plan for "250 pardons for 250 years." Then, the guys discuss the administration's desire to ban pregnant tourists from entering the country, Tuesday's progressive primary wins in Colorado, and the new New York Times/Siena poll that shows Democrats effectively tied in the states needed to retake the Senate.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the growing fusion of Marxism and Islamism is a societal cancer, which has been discussed before in American Marxism. The Marxist counterrevolution devours American society, culture, politics, schools, media, and entertainment. The oppressor-oppressed framework fuels the leftist tactics, corporate capitulation and the Marxist-anarchist ideology of Antifa and BLM. Islamists and Marxists have united and they have the same objective: power.  On Power discusses power as a fundamental force shaping human existence, determining social arrangements, quality of life, personal and national fates, and the balance between liberty and tyranny. It is ubiquitous, consequential, and context-dependent, manifesting in various forms like implied, granted, or necessary powers, and inextricably linked to liberty—where its misuse leads to anarchy or oppression. The current enemy within attacks the country through these dynamics. Also, the Persian and Jewish peoples share a historical bond rooted in the reign of Cyrus the Great, the Persian emperor from around 559 to 529 BC. Most notably, he freed the captive Jews exiled by Nebuchadnezzar, allowing them to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their Temple, earning praise in Jewish Scripture as a divinely empowered savior. This ancient connection endures, as Persians today, particularly those oppressed by the Iranian regime, refer to Netanyahu as "the Great Jew," reflecting mutual affinity. Finally, Medal of Honor recipient Clint Romesha calls in and discusses his work with America's Warrior Partnership, which empowers veterans and local communities through resources, collaboration, and ownership to foster hope and reduce suicides, countering the narrative that all veterans are broken. Romesha is working with PureTalk in raising $250,000 to support America's Warrior Partnership to celebrate America's 250th birthday and they are matching every donation dollar for dollar until they reach 250,000.
