The Turbulent World of Middle East Soccer

The United States bombing of Kharg Island, Iran's foremost oil export terminal, suggests that President Donald Trump may realise that he has no good options in Iran. Without the bombing, any Trump declaration of victory would likely have rung hollow with critics comparing it to President George W. Bush's 2003 Mission Accomplished in Iraq speech, after which the war continued for another nine years. Even so, Mr. Trump faces unpalatable choices that don't include the falling silent of the guns at a time of his choosing, despite the death and destruction wrought by the US and Israeli militaries.

The shutdown of the state probe raises questions about federal interference and the broader handling of Epstein-related evidence. ────────────────────────────────────────00:05:44:10 — Iran Threatens Global Trade by Choking the Strait of HormuzIran signals it could shut down or severely disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy and trade flows. Targeting ports, refineries, and shipping routes could cripple global supply chains far beyond the battlefield. ────────────────────────────────────────00:09:32:12 — UN Resolution Condemns Iran While Ignoring U.S. and Israeli StrikesMore than 80 nations support a UN Security Council resolution condemning Iranian actions against Gulf states while omitting criticism of U.S. or Israeli military operations. The move is portrayed as evidence of geopolitical double standards in international diplomacy. ────────────────────────────────────────00:13:33:20 — Trump Claims Victory in Iran War While Continuing Military OperationsTrump declares that the United States has already “won” the war with Iran but simultaneously says U.S. forces will remain engaged to finish the mission. The conflicting messaging raises uncertainty about the war's objectives and timeline. ────────────────────────────────────────00:15:12:06 — Pentagon Accused of Misjudging Iran's Decentralized War StrategyIran's “mosaic defense” doctrine—decentralized units designed to survive leadership decapitation strikes—is highlighted as a strategy U.S. planners allegedly underestimated. The discussion frames this as a major strategic blind spot in the war's early planning. ────────────────────────────────────────00:18:51:28 — Pentagon Seeks Expanded Domestic Surveillance PowersThe Defense Department reportedly pushes to remove restrictions limiting domestic surveillance, citing supply-chain security concerns. Critics warn the move would extend military monitoring powers into domestic affairs. ────────────────────────────────────────00:20:47:02 — Pentagon Tightens Control Over Media Coverage of the WarMajor media outlets lose Pentagon access after refusing to sign agreements restricting communication with sources.

The situation is compared to the 1970s oil crisis and raises fears of global economic instability. ────────────────────────────────────────00:55:37:02 — War and Energy Shock Could Accelerate Collapse of Dollar DominanceAnalysts argue that rising oil prices, debt pressures, and central bank accumulation of gold could accelerate global de-dollarization. The conflict with Iran is framed as a catalyst for major changes in the global monetary system. ────────────────────────────────────────01:07:40:13 — Major Private Equity Firms Restrict Withdrawals Amid Liquidity StressBlackRock, Blackstone, and other firms reportedly halt outflows from certain private equity funds.

John Dvorak Jr. - Guest  - UPDATE ON JCD JSD: - Tell us what you are doing these days... - What was it like growing up around constant tech commentary and skepticism? - How did that environment shape the way you look at innovation and hype? - Where do you most disagree with your father's views on technology today? - Is AI making people smarter—or more dependent? - How should younger professionals think about job security when automation is accelerating? War and Oil - Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it has closed the Strait of Hormuz, per a Reuters report. - About a third of the world's seaborne oil exports passed through the Strait in 2025. - Threatening to BURN any ship that attempts to go through - The Strait of Hormuz is a critical, narrow chokepoint about 90–104 miles (145–167 km) long and 21–60 miles (33–95 km) wide. At its narrowest, it is only 21 miles (33 km) across, with shipping lanes in each direction restricted to just two miles wide to accommodate massive oil tanker traffic, representing about one-fifth of global oil consumption - Meanwhile - lots of production halts - Oil screamed to $115 on Sunday night before cooler heads prevailed AND SPR talk hit the tape. - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? Just in... - President Trump says "I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the financial security of all maritime trade, especially energy, traveling through the Gulf. This will be available to all shipping lines. If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible" - BUT, who would even want to take the chance of moving through that area - even if there is insurance? Meanwhile LNG -Daily charter rates for LNG tankers in the Atlantic Basin have surged to over $200,000 per day. - Rates are roughly double levels seen less than a day earlier. - The spike followed Qatar's shutdown of LNG production as the conflict with Iran spread across the region. - The new offer levels are at least three times higher than the most recent assessed LNG tanker rate of $61,500, according to Spark Commodities earlier Monday. - Despite the elevated asking prices, no transactions have yet been confirmed at these levels. You thought that was BAD? - Europe in bad shape with Nat Gas after Qatar halted production (accounts for 20% of global LNG supply) Euro Nat Gas Amazon Data Loss - HEY WHAT ABOUT THIS? - Amazon Web Services said late Monday two of its data centers in the United Arab Emirates and a facility in Bahrain were damaged by drone strikes, taking the facilities offline. - “In the UAE, two of our facilities were directly struck, while in Bahrain, a drone strike in close proximity to one of our facilities caused physical impacts to our infrastructure,” AWS said. “These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage.” - This is an interesting twist on cyber-warfare - WHAT IF? - JSD: How does this impact AI and the world tech flow? Why do/did markets keep climbing? - Global debt climbed to a record $348 trillion at the end of 2025, after nearly $29 trillion was added over the year in the fastest yearly build-up since the pandemic surge - The increase was driven primarily by governments, which accounted for more than $10 trillion of the rise, with the United States, China and the euro area responsible for roughly three-quarters of the jump - Also, margin debt up 30% in 2025 - so there is that... - No wonder there is resilience in these markets... Berkshire News - Earnings from operations totaled $10.2 billion in Q4. That's down more than 29% from $14.56 billion in the year-earlier period. - Insurance underwriting profits dropped 54% to $1.56 billion from $3.41 billion a year prior. Insurance investment income slid nearly 25% from to $3.1 billion from $4.088 billion. - This was the final quarter under Warren Buffett as CEO, who announced he was stepping down at the annual shareholders meeting last May. - Full year overall earnings, meanwhile, fell to $66.97 billion from $89 billion a year prior. - NO Buybacks, bit they still have more that $350B is cash INTERACTIVE BROKERS Check this out and find out more at: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/ Irritating - UBS' top equity strategist dialed back his view on U.S. stocks, citing mounting risks from a weakening dollar, stretched valuations and policy turbulence in Washington. - Andrew Garthwaite, head of global equity strategy at the investment bank, downgraded American equities to “benchmark” in a fully invested global equity portfolio, arguing that the factors that powered years of outperformance are starting to fade. - Market weight - no risk for this guy on the call. Can't lose as will just perform with the benchmark - DUMB Dell Earnings BLOWOUT (Follow up) - Dell reported adjusted earnings of $3.89 per share, exceeding the $3.53 per share expected by analysts surveyed by LSEG. - The company posted $33.38 billion in revenue for the quarter, topping a forecast of $31.73 billion. - Stock up 22% on the news and followed through on Monday - Dell cut quote time to less that a week (prices expire) - Dell expects revenue for its artificial intelligence servers to hit $50 billion in 2027, more than double the year prior. - Much different story from HP that was complaining about input pricing.... Obviously Dell is much smarter at pass-though management of pricing. Jack on the Attack - Financial technology firm Block (XYZ), run by Jack Dorsey began slashing more than 40% of its workforce (4k people) on Thursday, saying in a letter to shareholders that AI tools "have changed what it means to build and run a company." - The AI layoffs came as the Square payment system and Cash App operator matched fourth-quarter earnings estimates, yet Block shares surged after hours. - Evercore ISI analyst Adam Frisch called the layoffs "the seminal moment to date in the AI narrative and how it could transform companies as we know it going forward." - SOOOOOO - AI is responsible for job cuts? ---- SOOOOOO - AI can replace humans and as productivity is enhanced? Duolingo - Duolingo forecast first-quarter and 2026 bookings below expectations on Thursday as it shifts strategy toward faster user growth, a move it said will weigh on bookings growth and profitability this year, sending the company's shares down more 23% after hours last week. - The company plans to roll out more AI-driven speaking tools to free users, reducing friction that previously nudged learners toward paid plans - Poster child of how AI can kill your business? - However, earnings/financials looked pretty good and there is a strategy there that may be beneficial   Love the Show?

Nate and Chuck discuss ongoing U.S.-Israel actions in the Iran war and argue that Fox News commentary is framing the conflict as already won, including talk of quickly declaring "mission accomplished." Nate questions how strikes reportedly killed multiple Iranian leadership successors while a publicized meeting to select a new Ayatollah proceeded, and they review media clips featuring pro-war rhetoric and claims of an imminent Iranian threat. They focus on reports that an Iranian girls' school was hit, citing outlets saying U.S. airstrikes were responsible, debating missile footage that resembles a Tomahawk, and noting officials' "still investigating" responses while Trump claims Iran did it. They also cover oil depot strikes and "oil rain" in Tehran, warn of rally-around-the-flag effects, unclear objectives, possible escalation with Russia/China involvement, and express anti-war concerns as U.S. service members die. 00:00 Show Kickoff Banter 01:01 Iran War On The Agenda 01:53 Mission Accomplished Media Spin 02:34 Succession Strike Mystery 04:48 Fox News Clash Clip 09:00 War To End Wars Talk 10:17 Declare Victory Debate 13:45 What Winning Even Means 20:05 Lindsey Graham Goes Wild 21:37 Endless War Spiral Fears 22:03 Next Targets After Iran 23:42 Imminent Threat Narrative 24:25 Trump Missile Boast Clip 25:09 School Strike Evidence 27:24 Missile ID and Timeline 30:33 Officials Dodge Accountability 32:40 Propaganda Logic Breaks 36:31 Oil Depots and Public Backlash 42:57 Can This War Succeed 44:58 Closing Anti War Message

On this week's LIVE discussion, Charlie Sykes delivers a blistering critique of President Trump's Iran policy from a right-of-center perspective — calling out the chaos, contradictions, and long-term damage.We also dissect how “America First” became the most flexible slogan ever, bad optics (video game sizzle reels, golf caps during dignified transfers), economic fallout (oil spiking to $100+/barrel), and call out the Faustian bargains.Major topics discussed:— Trump's incoherent Iran strategy — No plan, no exit, shifting goals from regime change to “unconditional surrender” to whatever Trump decides that day— “America First” means nothing — It's just a flexible slogan that is defined by Trump's mood— Trivializing war — Video game-style White House reels (Top Gun clips, anime), wearing a golf cap at Dover dignified transfer, lack of solemnity amid fallen troops— Israel's influence & anti-Semitism risks — A war sold as for Israel's security is feeding conspiracy theories, and doing long-term damage to bipartisan support for Israel and Jewish communities— Russia-Iran ironies — Russia is reportedly aiding Iran against U.S. forces; Ukraine is helping intercept Iranian drones— White House hubris — “Yes”-men, repeating failed playbooks (“Mission Accomplished” redux), ignoring red flags— AI/job disruption backlash, generational damage to capitalism, the church, and conservatism— Texas Senate race update — Looks like James Talarico could beat Ken Paxton OR John Cornyn!— And MUCH moreIf you're tired of cheerleading and want honest analysis of Trump's presidency, this episode is a must-watch.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

【聊了什么】 2月28日,美以联合对伊朗发起代号"史诗狂怒"的军事打击。第一波空袭直接命中德黑兰市中心,最高领袖哈梅内伊等伊朗最高领导层当场身亡。录制本期节目时,战事已进入第八天——油价飙升,中东各国陷入战火,伊朗政权仍在运转,战争走向可能远比特朗普预期的复杂。 与此同时,中期选举的第一枪在德州打响。James Talarico击败Jasmine Crockett,赢得民主党参议员初选提名。一个年轻、看上去更温和的白人州众议员,打败了哈里斯钦点、全国知名的进步派黑人女议员——战术上的差距,还是民主党更深层问题的信号?共和党这边,现任参议员康宁以微弱优势领先帕克斯顿,特朗普至今未明确背书。 第三件事:国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆在3月5日被炒掉。直接导火索是她在国会听证会上把一笔2.2亿美元的广告合同甩锅给了特朗普。 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年3月7日晚间。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去: 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter,可以加入会员社群,参加会员活动,并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱:american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:54 "史诗狂怒"行动背景 03:24 谈判破裂还是走过场?以色列如何将美国拖下水 05:00 四个战争目标的内部矛盾:薛定谔的伊朗核能力 07:12 格雷厄姆的幕后操纵:高尔夫球场上的游说 10:55 "任务完成"的历史幽灵:与伊拉克战争对比 21:25 伊朗政权的战略逻辑 34:39 地面部队困境:空袭无法实现战略目标 40:38 《战争权力决议》投票失败:国会能做什么? 45:43 战争对中期选举的冲击:滞胀风险与民意隐患 52:20 德州民主党初选:塔拉里科击败克罗克特 54:14 塔拉里科的底牌:基督教左派能否打开福音派市场 57:02 克罗克特为何失败 60:17 共和党初选:康宁险胜,特朗普为何迟迟不背书 66:10 克伦肖输掉众议员初选:99%的忠诚也不够用 75:07 导火索:2.2亿广告合同甩锅给特朗普 77:09 丑闻解剖:空壳公司与利益输送 79:34 诺姆转任特使:为何不能彻底踢出局 80:14 穆林接任DHS:特朗普爱上福克斯常客 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾: Talich:美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚:美国政治爱好者,岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华:媒体人 【 What We Talked About】 On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint military strike on Iran under the codename "Operation Epic Fury." The first wave of airstrikes hit central Tehran directly, killing Supreme Leader Khamenei and the rest of Iran's top leadership. By the time we recorded this episode, the conflict had entered its eighth day — oil prices were surging, the Middle East was engulfed in fighting, and the Iranian regime was still standing. The war may be far more complicated than Trump anticipated. Meanwhile, the midterm election season opened in Texas. James Talarico defeated Jasmine Crockett to win the Democratic Senate primary nomination. A young, ostensibly moderate white state legislator beat a nationally prominent progressive Black congresswoman who had the backing of Kamala Harris — is this a tactical failure, or a signal of something deeper wrong with the Democratic Party? On the Republican side, incumbent Senator Cornyn edged out Paxton by a slim margin, and Trump has yet to commit to a clear endorsement. Third: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was fired on March 5. The immediate trigger was her testimony before Congress, in which she tried to pin a $220 million ad contract on Trump. This episode was recorded on the night of March 7, 2026 (U.S. time). 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 01:54 Background on "Operation Epic Fury" 03:24 Failed negotiations or political theater?

Welcome to our very first Autopsy episode, a new format where we step back to analyse a specific piece of media, speech, or historical moment that perfectly encapsulates the Western Bubble. This week, as the world watches the United States and Israel launch a massive military campaign against Iran, we turn the clock back to 1 May 2003. We are analysing President George W. Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln to understand the dangerous parallels between the invasion of Iraq and today's escalating conflict.In this episode, we break down the fundamental flaws in Western interventionist logic. We examine the illusion that a quick military victory equates to long-term stability, the hypocritical narrative of the West acting as a "force for good", and the deep disconnect between Washington's promise of freedom and the devastating reality on the ground. By looking at how the Bush administration justified the Iraq war through the lens of the War on Terror, we can better understand the exact same narratives being recycled by the current administration in 2026.This podcast is an individual project between Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats. We are supported by our producer Stefani Obradovic from Western Bubble Insights & Strategy. If you would like to get in touch with us, write us an email at thewesternbubble@gmail.com.

Healing Is a Collaborative Endeavour In this "Mission Accomplished" Saturday morning movie session, David Hoffmeister uses a mini-movie to illuminate a radical spiritual breakthrough: the realization that our innocence is already complete. The narrative, condensed from multiple action films, serves as a powerful metaphor for the ego's complex plots and the Holy Spirit's swift undoing of them.  David focuses on two pivotal metaphysical themes: The Illusion of Time and Control: Drawing on A Course in Miracles Lesson 158, David explains that "time is a trick, a sleight of hand." He emphasizes that the ego uses the past and future to distract us from the Holy Instant, where our safety lies. By letting go of the need to control the "script" of our lives, we discover that the mission of salvation is already accomplished through the Atonement. Transcending the Ego's Distractions: The session explores how the mind is often fooled into believing it is a separate, physical entity at the mercy of external circumstances. David invites us to "peer behind the curtain" and see that all conflict—whether a nuclear threat on screen or a personal grievance—is merely a projection of a split mind. Through his commentary, David guides listeners to hear the gentle whisper of Jesus saying, "Mission Accomplished," allowing us to surrender our worries and judgments in favor of the happiness that is our natural inheritance. These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

KI überlagert gerade alles. Der Blick geht dabei oft in die USA – zu den großen Playern, den großen Modellen, den großen Versprechen. Aber die entscheidende Frage ist: Wo steht Deutschland eigentlich in Sachen KI? Ist KI in Unternehmen schon angekommen – oder bleibt es bei Pilotprojekten?In Folge #146 sprechen Sarah⁠⁠ und ⁠Dirk⁠ mit ⁠Simon Boffen⁠ von der ⁠MISSION KI⁠. Er war Deputy Lead der nationalen KI-Initiative, die 2,5 Jahre an genau den Baustellen gearbeitet hat, die viele Unternehmen gerade ausbremsen: Datenverfügbarkeit, Qualitätsstandards und vertrauenswürdige KI.Gemeinsam ordnen sie ein, was sich in Deutschland in den letzten Jahren verbessert hat, wo die größten Lücken bleiben und welche nächsten Schritte jetzt wirklich zählen – für Mittelstand, Startups und regulierte Branchen wie Banken. 02:25 - Simon, stell dich und die Mission KI gern kurz vor. 04:22 - Konntet ihr mit der Mission KI alle relevanten KI-Trends bearbeiten oder fehlt da noch was?05.40 - Gibt es eine Instanz, die eure Themen weiterführen oder eure Ergebnisse weiter nutzen? 07:30 - Thema Datenbasis: Wie ist in Deutschland aktuell der Status Quo?

Wo stehen wir in Deutschland, wenn es um KI-Innovationen geht?25:06 - Wie gut funktioniert die Adaption neuer Technologien in Deutschland? 28:55 - Ist dem Mittelstand bewusst, dass sie sich mit KI auseinandersetzen müssen? Oder glauben viele, dass das für ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit (noch) kein Thema ist? 31:55 - Hast du ein gutes Beispiel aus der Praxis, bei dem KI Prozesse verbessert hat? 33:50 - Deutschland hat exzellente Forschung, aber oft eine Transferlücke.

In this emotional and raw segment, Brandon Tierney reflects on his departure from WFAN, framed by a sense of profound professional victory rather than bitterness. BT reveals that his childhood "mission" was simply to make it onto the legendary airwaves of The Fan—a goal he officially considers "Mission Accomplished." He discusses the importance of the three pillars he teaches his children—Work Hard, Have Fun, Be a Leader—and how staying true to those values allowed him to "empty the tank" and leave without a single regret. Despite the unexpected return of Craig Carton displacing his show, BT shares a message of maturity and resilience, emphasizing that while he couldn't control management's decisions, he mastered everything within his power: his preparation, his passion, and his integrity. As long-time callers offer their tears and support, BT exits not as a victim of corporate shuffling, but as a broadcaster who achieved his dream and is ready for a new garden to grow.

Procrastination: Be Gone! And "Physician, Heal Thyself!" Really? Why? The answers to today's questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. This will be podcast #470 on 10/6/2025 Procrastination: Be Gone! And Physician, Heal Thyself! Really? Why? The answers to today's questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Rhonda asks: Why do people procrastinate? Rhonda asks: Wouldn't you first deal with the negative thoughts that are a part of the procrastination before working on it? Rhonda asks: Here is a question I have: You often say, "physician heal thyself," and encourage personal work by the therapist. Why does the therapist have to face their own issues to help someone else? A heart surgeon doesn't have to have heart surgery in order to conduct surgery on their patient. Why does a therapist have to do their personal work? Rhonda writes: I have been thinking a lot about procrastination since we met last week.  Why do people procrastinate? It's one thing not to put away a stack of files on your desk, it's another thing to procrastinate on something major, like finishing your dissertation, doing your taxes, or some things that have a major consequence.  It's a habit like anything else so there is a cue, the pattern, and the reward. Cue: I don't want to finish my dissertation because it's overwhelming and I don't think I am smart enough to finish it, and I don't want to face it. Pattern: Procrastinate Reward: Relief that I have avoided it another day. So, wouldn't you first deal with the negative thoughts that are a part of the procrastination before working on it? I've also been thinking a lot about positive reframing. I always do it, even with a client who has done it before, to remind people, and keep alive, their positive qualities, and to encourage more embracing/accepting of their symptoms as beautiful parts of themselves. With clients who have experience doing Positive Reframe, reframing their THOUGHTS, not just their feelings, can give a lot of insight. Here is a question I have, you often say, "physician heal thyself," and encourage personal work by the therapist.  Why does the therapist have to face their own issues to help someone else?  A heart surgeon doesn't have to have heart surgery in order to conduct surgery on their patient.  Why does a therapist? David replies People procrastinate because they don't want to do the thing they are putting off. There is no one reason, since we're all different. And we all tend to avoid things that seem unpleasant, and gravitate towards things that are more pleasant. I classify it in the general category of “Habit / Addiction.” For years I dealt with the reasons people procrastinate as a first step, including the thoughts they have at the moment they procrastinate. I thought my job was to “help” the person who was procrastinating. This was universally unsuccessful, and not their failure became MY failure. This allowed them to continue procrastinating, since the doctor was trying to help them, and responsible for helping them. I decided, instead, to go with an approach that works. It took a number of years to figure that out! But it was a huge relief! We don't say that a psychiatrist or psychologist has to have schizophrenia or be cured of schizophrenia to help someone with schizophrenia. And we don't say that a mental health professional has to have OCD to treat someone with OCD effectively. No one has ever claimed that. What I am saying is that a heart surgeon has to have credibility and training in successful heart surgery to get the license practice surgery. But how does a mental professional get credibility? Well, let's say that you've once had severe public speaking anxiety, as I have had. And social anxiety as well. So, when a patient comes to me with social anxiety or public speaking anxiety, I can say, “Oh, I've had that too, and I know exactly how awful that can feel. And, it's going to be a pleasure to show you the way out of the woods.” This message is generally welcomed by patients because it conveys two messages: I know how much you're suffering, because I've experienced it myself. I have the skills and the confidence to treat you successfully. Would you want to go to a therapist for the treatment of your own public speaking anxiety, or shyness, if you knew that the therapist had these problems and still hadn't found a cure for themself? There are other powerful reasons for doing your own personal work: You can see the impact of therapist errors if colleagues have tried to treat you without good empathy or methods. You can see what recovery / enlightenment mean at a much deeper level! You can see how and why certain techniques can be so critically important and helpful, and why many others will not be helpful. Once you have done your own work successfully, and experienced your own “enlightenment” or “recovery” or whatever you want to call it, you are no longer a mental health professional / technician type of therapist. You graduate to the “healer” class! During the live show, I went through the structure of the new approach to procrastination, and she sent this email right after finishing her “Mission Accomplished” or “I stubbornly refused” task. Dear Matt and David! Successfully completed! Thank you, Rhonda Thanks for listening today! Rhonda, Matt, and David
