Episode Summary In this episode of The Jabot Podcast, host Kathryn Rubino sits down with public defender, reform advocate, and author Emily Galvin Almanza to discuss her new book The Price of Mercy: Unfair Trials, a Broken System, and a Public Defender's Search for Justice in America. Emily shares her unexpected path into law, her deep commitment to criminal defense, and the emotional realities of representing clients navigating one of the most consequential systems in American society. Drawing from years in public defense and her work co-founding Partners for Justice, she explains why the criminal legal system often punishes instability rather than crime — and how policy choices, not individual morality, frequently determine who enters the system. The conversation explores burnout among defenders, systemic misconceptions about criminal courts, the role of compassion in policy reform, and the economic and social costs of incarceration. Ultimately, the episode reframes justice not as punishment, but as a question of public safety, community stability, and human dignity.

In this engaging interview, Ray Comfort shares insights from his latest book Idiotic Things People Did in the Bible, explores biblical stories, and discusses the importance of the gospel. Discover how biblical characters' foolishness highlights God's grace and how to apply these lessons today. You'll also be encouraged by Ray's enthusiasm for the gospel and his winsome spirit. Ray's newest book tells the stories people such as Adam and Eve, Solomon, Samson, King David, Judas, and many others. But, he doesn't only tell the stories, he shows you how you can avoid making the same mistakes in your life.

Trauma: Myths, Misconceptions and the Truth About Healing In this episode of Know Your Own Psychology, I'm breaking down common myths about trauma therapy and explaining what responsible, ethical trauma treatment actually looks like. As a clinical psychologist and trauma specialist, I see how much misinformation exists online — from promises of rapid trauma healing to the idea that everyone is ready to process traumatic memories immediately. The reality is more nuanced. In this episode, I cover: • What trauma is — and what it isn't • Why not everyone is ready for trauma processing • The importance of stabilisation and emotional regulation before starting trauma work • The structured stages of trauma therapy: safety, processing, and integration • How to spot exploitative “quick fix” trauma marketing • Why trauma therapy does not erase memories — but can reduce emotional intensity I also share a personal reflection on grief and traumatic loss, and why time can sometimes play an important role in healing. If you're considering trauma therapy, this episode will help you think carefully about readiness, safety, and realistic expectations — and offers five key questions to ask yourself before beginning trauma work. Trauma healing is not a race. Stabilisation is not failure. And sometimes the bravest work is learning how to stay steady in the present. If you found this helpful, please share the episode — and if my book, What to Do When You Feel Broken, has supported you, I'd be so grateful for an Amazon review to help it reach others who may need it.

I was recently reading the January - February  2026 issue of "Science and Children," a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section, "Science 101" written by Matt Bobrowsky. He wrote an article entitled "What is Data, and Is Data Science Really Science?" In the article, Matt addresses three misconceptions about data science: 1. Data refers only to numbers. 2. Data tells the whole story. 3. It's computers, not people, who do data science.

Your inner voice can either talk you into your greatness or talk you out of it. That little voice shows up when you're about to take a risk, ask for something you want, or step into a room where you're not sure you belong. Most people either ignore it completely or let it run the show. Neither works. The real question is whether you know how to catch it, redirect it, and make it work for you instead of against you.Amber Lee Forrester built Quartz Wellness Collective on the idea that your inner voice shapes everything about your brand. She works with executives and incarcerated youth, bringing positive psychology and strengths-based coaching into spaces that need psychological safety and honest reflection. Her approach is direct: if you can identify the thought patterns that derail you, you can redirect them toward what you actually want.In this episode, Paula T. Edgar and Amber dig into imposter syndrome, why it shows up even for high-performers, and what to do when that voice tries to take over. Amber breaks down her framework for catching thoughts before they derail you, why reflection matters more than just pushing through, and how to lean on your strengths when your weaknesses try to speak louder. They also talk about why community and psychological safety matter for doing your best work, and what it actually looks like to build a brand that feels like you on purpose. If that voice has ever made you second-guess yourself or shrink back from something you wanted, this conversation gives you tools to shift it.1:33 – Amber's personal brand definition, three ways she describes herself, a Friedrich Nietzsche she often uses, and her Beyoncé hype song 4:27 – The childhood contrast that explains Amber's comfort in very different rooms5:37 – Amber's post-private school pivot from her original plan to her purpose11:25 – Amber's definition of imposter syndrome and an example of how it showed up for her 16:10 – How imposter syndrome affects your brand and the way you show up as a leader19:54 – How positive psychology helps you challenge narratives that undermine your confidence and branding22:40 – The framework Amber uses to move people from self-doubt to self-belief28:14 – Misconception about imposter syndrome, the importance of reflection, and how your answer to a simple question impacts your brand32:27 – Amber's high priority around creating safe community spaces, paving the way for brave spaces36:56 – Strengths-based anchor that helps you stay steady when your mind tries to hold you back42:46 – What Amber does for fun (and how even that ties back into her brand) Mentioned In Rewrite Your Story, Rewire Your Personal Brand with Amber Lee ForresterAmber Lee Forrester Quartz Wellness CollectivePOISED to Prosper Mentorship ProgramMy Engage Your Hustle™ Conference Playbook gives you the strategies to prepare, stand out, and follow up with impact.

This episode of the Fiercely Fueled Nutrition Podcast takes a closer look at the culture of strength sports and the nutrition advice athletes are actually getting behind the scenes. Coach Pia sits down with nutrition coach Shania Radke to talk about everything from coaching culture and social media trends to the realities of weight cuts. Together, they unpack how extreme advice spreads online, why "secret methods" are usually just good marketing, and how practices meant for elite competitors often trickle down to athletes who don't need them and may be harmed by them. They also dive into the less-talked-about side of competing: how dieting can affect body image, relationships with food, and long-term health. From hidden disordered eating to the pressure to chase lighter weight classes, this conversation challenges some of the biggest assumptions in strength sports. In this episode: Why weight cuts aren't as mysterious as they seem How social media shapes athlete nutrition choices Red flags to watch for in coaching and nutrition advice Why maintenance is often the most underrated strategy Misconceptions about heavier weight classes How athletes can stay competitive without constant dieting Warning signs your body isn't recovering well Why health markers should come before performance If you compete, or plan to, this episode is a grounded reminder that the strongest athletes are the ones who can stay in the sport for the long run.

Joanna Cassidy has never fit neatly into one lane, and that is exactly why she is unforgettable. In this episode of Still Here Hollywood, Joanna takes us from Syracuse University as an art student to a cross-country leap that landed her in Los Angeles and changed everything. She talks about her first film set experience with Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern, the shock of realizing she could actually act, and how her creative life has always lived in two worlds, performance and painting. We also dive into the legacy roles that keep getting rediscovered. Joanna shares what it was like stepping into Blade Runner as Zhora, working with Ridley Scott's meticulous vision, and why that film's impact only grew with time. She opens up about Six Feet Under and her love of dark humor, the craft difference between comedy and drama, the realities of aging in Hollywood, and what she believes keeps a creative person alive. Plus: animals, modernism, bungee fitness in Burbank, and the mindset that keeps her curious and working. Still Here Hollywood with Steve Kmetko. New episodes weekly.

Summary In this episode of the AI for Sales podcast, host Chad Burmeister speaks with Justin Trombold, an expert in generative AI and sales strategy. They discuss the importance of AI readiness, the transformation of customer experience through AI, and the balance between automation and personalization in sales. Justin emphasizes the need for organizations to align their AI strategies with their overall business objectives and to overcome misconceptions about AI's capabilities. The conversation highlights the potential of AI to enhance sales processes and improve customer engagement while addressing the challenges that come with implementing AI solutions. Takeaways Generative AI readiness is crucial for organizations. Data quality is just one aspect of AI readiness. AI can significantly enhance customer experience. Sales teams should focus on higher order tasks. Misconceptions about AI can hinder its adoption. Automation should augment human capabilities, not replace them.

Study session scripture: Romans 4:1-12What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised. He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well, and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.Study session topics:Abraham as Father of Jews and Gentiles Paul bolsters his presentation of the Gospel message by arguing that this was always God's plan of salvation, going all the way back to Abraham Abraham is a perfect example to use Father of the Jewish people, first to be chosen by God Lived before the Law was given Paul argues that Abraham gained righteousness from God by faith as the Christian does (Gen. 15:6) Misconceptions about Abraham's justification God justified Abraham due to his own goodness and piety God counted Abraham as righteous due to his faith as a substitute for his works Paul also briefly brings in the example of David Direct ancestor of Jesus King whose throne was promised forever by God Man after God's own heart Paul argues that Psalm 32:1-2 is David professing salvation by faith Scripture here and in Gen. 15:6 uses bookkeeping terminology to describe the process of justification Paul folds his Gentile audience back in by universalizing the promise of justification by faithThis promise is not bound to circumcision because it predates circumcision Circumcision as a sign and seal of righteousness by faith, not by the law Points back to Romans 2:28-29, circumcision is a matter of the heart How were the Old Testament saints saved before the life and death of Jesus? They believed the Gospel--they looked forward to it while we look back at it (Gal. 3:7-9, John 8:56) Abraham and the other OT saints anticipated a future savior who would rescue them from their sinsStudy session audio:

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.The Goldman Sachs Alternatives Summit “convened leaders across finance, geopolitics, technology, and culture” to discuss themes driving global markets.2025's Alternatives Summit was about “navigating a world in flux,” as the firm's recap of its event noted. The event aimed to help investors cut through the noise and put together the pieces of the puzzle in a dynamic and increasingly complex world. Alt Goes Mainstream joined the event to have unscripted conversations with Goldman Sachs Alternatives leaders to cut through the noise by unpacking key themes and trends at the intersection of private markets and private wealth.In this special series, we went behind the scenes and interviewed six Goldman Sachs Alternatives leaders about their current thinking on private markets and how the firm has built and evolved its private markets capabilities.This conversation was with Harold Hope, Partner, Global Head of Vintage Strategies, one of the world's largest secondary fund managers, in the External Investing Group (XIG) within Goldman Sachs Asset Management. He is also Chair of the XIG Vintage Funds Committee and a member of the XIG Real Estate Strategies Investment Committee and the XIG GP Strategies Investment Committee. Harold joined Goldman Sachs in 1999 as an Associate in Leveraged Finance and Corporate Finance within the Investment Banking Division and moved to the Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (now XIG) private equity business in 2001. He was named Managing Director in 2006 and Partner in 2016. Prior to joining the firm, Harold worked as a financial analyst at the investment banking boutique Bowles Hollowell Conner & Co. Harold earned a BA in Economics and Political Science from the University of North Carolina. Harold and I had a fascinating and timely conversation about the growth and evolution of the secondaries market. We discussed:Perspectives from Harold's early days in secondaries 25 years ago, when Goldman had raised its first $400M fund in secondaries and when the secondaries industry was doing around $2B per year in transaction volume.How the secondaries market is vastly different from five years ago. The evolution of innovation in the secondaries market.Why problem-solving is a defining feature of secondaries. What is the right skillset required to be a great secondaries investor?Why secondaries is fundamentally a valuation oriented business.Are secondaries returns driven by buying high-quality assets or by buying at steep discounts?Misconceptions about continuation vehicles and how the trend of private companies staying private longer impacts CVs.The how and the why behind Goldman's recent acquisition of Industry Ventures and why Goldman is excited about the opportunity set in venture and growth secondaries.Why scale matters in secondaries.Why secondaries might not become a traded market like the bank loan market and why secondaries may not fully achieve standardization because managers may not want completely uniform standardization.Why secondaries can be an on-ramp to private markets for private wealth investors.Thanks Harold for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and passion about secondaries and private markets.

Misconceptions do not just exist in our minds; they linger into our thoughts, informing our actions, and begin to steer the direction of our lives. In part 1 of this series, we are looking at the misconception that following Jesus means I will no longer struggle with sin. We will explore how breaking free from this misconception can free us to experience more of the full and fulfilling life that Jesus offers.

Today, I'm joined by Emmy-winning journalist and menopause advocate Tamsen Fadal, whose own unexpected journey through perimenopause and menopause led her to create a global movement of education, support, and empowerment for women. After years of brain fog, exhaustion, misdiagnosis, and silence from the medical system, Tamsen began using her voice and platform to help women understand what is happening in their bodies and how to advocate for real care. In this episode, we talk honestly about symptoms, hormones, relationships, sex, confidence, and why so many women feel blindsided by this transition. Tamsen brings clarity, humor, and compassion to a life stage that has been ignored for far too long, and she offers real guidance for women who want to feel informed, supported, and empowered. In this episode, we explore:  The symptoms most women miss in early perimenopause Why brain fog and sleep issues are among the most debilitating changes The impact of hormonal shifts on mood, libido, skin, hair, and body composition Misconceptions about estrogen, the WHI study, and hormone therapy The role of testosterone and why it is often a missing piece How to communicate with your partner about what you are experiencing Why advocating for yourself and finding an educated provider is essential   Resources from this Episode: Learn more about Tamsen Fadal: https://tamsenfadal.com Menopause Society Provider Finder: https://menopausesociety.org  Get Tamsen's book, "How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before"   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

Stefanie on continuous progress, purpose, and leading with intentAmova Asset Management (“Amova”) is a current client of ARK Investment Management LLC (“ARK Invest”) in its capacity as a sub-adviser. Amova is also a compensated promoter for ARK Invest. Amova has entered into an agreement with ARK Invest whereby ARK Invest has agreed to pay Amova a fee in exchange for Amova referring investors to ARK Invest's ETFs. For its services to ARK Invest, Amova will receive 25% of the advisory fees received by ARK Invest for referred seed investors with respect to the initial seed investment. ARK Invest will also compensate Amova 25% of the advisory fees received by ARK Invest from referred investors other than seed investors in respect of the monthly holdings of each referred investor who has invested into one or more of ARK's ETFs, excluding those of initial investments made by seed investors. The compensation arrangement will continue for so long as the referred investors remain invested in ARK's ETFs. The advisory fees charged to the ETFs will not be affected by the fees paid to Amova, because Amova's compensation will be paid solely from ARK Invest's investment management fee. Amova and its representatives may also receive non-cash compensation from ARK Invest, such as attendance at events, entertainment and gifts. Receipt of cash and non-cash compensation influences Amova's referral of investors to ARK Invest.
