Podcasts about MOS

Fractievoorzitters kwamen vanochtend voor het eerst bij elkaar na de verkiezingen. De partijleden feliciteerden elkaar en de grootste partij, de PVV, heeft een verkenner voorgesteld. Gom van Strien, een PVV-senator uit de Eerste Kamer. Het formeren gaat beginnen.  Maar met wat voor winnaar doen de partijen zaken, als ze tegenover de PVV aanschuiven. Politiek verslaggever Michiel Breedveld volgt de partij al vanaf het begin, in 2006, en stond woensdagavond ook in het café waar de PVV feest vierde. Hij schetst in podcast de Dag een profiel van de partij met 1 lid: Geert Wilders. En Richard de Mos was van 2009 tot 2012 kamerlid voor de PVV. Ook al heeft de PVV maar één lid, volgens de Mos was er goed te discussiëren binnen de fractie en met Wilders. Hij geeft een kijkje achter de schermen. Reageren?

"Kong Salomo laget sin bærestol av trær fra Libanon. Stengene gjorde han av sølv og ryggstøet av gull. Setet er kledd med purpur og innsidene med lær." Høys. 3, 9-10 Det er rimelig å tenke at Salomo sendte denne bærestolen, sammen med stridsmennene sine, for å hente bruden sin til bryllupet. Sammen skulle de føre henne trygt gjennom ødemarka og fram til Jerusalem hvor bryllupet skulle stå. Israelsfolket fikk også en bærestol, i hermetegn, som hjalp dem på reisa fra Egypt til det nye hjemlandet; de fikk møteteltet. Det var solide trestenger, det var sølv, gull og purpur - og det var stridsengler, eller kjeruber, kan vi lese om (2. Mos. 26, 31). Som kristne har vi også fått en "bærestol" som skal føre oss trygt fram til bryllupet i det nye Jerusalem (Åp. 21); vi har fått Bibelen! Der finner vi det mest solide treverket i hele universet, Jesu kors. Og vi finner ord som er mer dyrebare enn sølv og gull, og vi finner purpurfargen (bl.a. Jes. 1, 18; Mark. 15, 17). Og også vi har engler som er stridsmenn, som går ved vår side og skal hjelpe oss trygt fram til Himmelen (Sal. 91, 11). Så la oss ta i bruk denne bærestolen i dag, bruke Bibelen og dvele ved alle rikdommene den inneholder og hvile i at den hjelper oss trygt fram! av Eli Fuglestad, Norea Håpets Kvinner.

Het ging het afgelopen weekend in het land vooral over één Twentse voetballer: Wout Weghorst. De spits uit Borne maakte voor Oranje de enige goal tegen Ierland, maar dat doelpunt kreeg door zijn eigen gedrag nauwelijks aandacht. Ook in de De Ballen Verstand is er volop aandacht voor de speler, die ondertussen ook basisschooldirecteur is geworden. Fardau Wagenaar en Leon ten Voorde snappen weinig van het theatrale gedrag van Weghorst, die na afloop ruzie kreeg met een verslaggever van de NOS nadat er in zijn ogen te negatief werd gedaan over de prestatie van het Nederlands elftal. „Hij had de gevierde held kunnen zijn, maar door zijn theatrale gedrag praat vrijwel iedereen negatief over hem. Waarom tikt niemand in zijn omgeving hem eens op de schouder en zegt: en nu doe je eens een beetje normaal. Hij moet zijn plek weten. Hij is heel belangrijk geweest voor Oranje, maar moet wel beseffen dat het ook tekenend is voor de armoede van Oranje dat hij speelt.” FC Twente - PSVUiteraard gaat het in De Ballen Verstand ook over de topper van zaterdag in Enschede, FC Twente-PSV. „Aad de Mos en Valentijn Driessen hebben een overwinning voor PSV voorspeld, dus dat is een goed teken voor FC Twente, want zij zitten er doorgaans naast.” En wat vinden we eigenlijk als er 'kut-KNVB'vanaf de tribune wordt geroepen? „Dan staken we in Nederland de wedstrijd.”Support the show: https://krant.nlSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 407 - PGA Hope - The Story of Mark Hitchcock Our special guest is Bay City, MI resident Mark Hitchcock. Mark served honorably in the US Army Reserve for 10 years with the 980th Quartermaster Company. Mark progressed to the rank of Sergeant and took on several additional duties within his unit, most prominently serving as his unit's Duty Appointed Retention NCO while also bearing responsibility for his squad and duties of his MOS as a Petroleum Supply Specialist.

During the program, Mark, who never took a formal lesson prior to this program, not only learned some critical skills that have improved his golf game, but also helped him connect with many fellow Veterans and provide a sense of focus and purpose he didn't realize was missing in his life since leaving the service, using the game of golf as the catalyst. ---------------- Subscribe to the FGN Podcast Watch FGN videos on YouTube Check out our other sports pod: Church Pew Sports TEXT or CALL (989) 272-2383 to share your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and questions

"For en skapnings liv er i blodet, og jeg har gitt dere blodet på alteret til soning for dere. Blodet soner fordi livet er i det." 3. Mos. 17, 11 Det er flere ting en kropp trenger for å være i live. Blod og blodgjennomstrømming er kanskje den viktigste. I det blodtilførselen stopper, dør kroppen. Hvis blodet hindres, kan deler av kroppen lammes. Den blir nummen, og cellene dør om ikke blodtilførselen gjenopprettes. Livet er i blodet, sier Bibelen. Og Bibelen er i hermetegn gjennomsyret av blod. Fra første boka til siste. Blodet er den røde tråden gjennom Bibelen. Men ikke et hvilket som helst blod. Alt peker på Jesu blod som ble utøst til soning for våre synder. Ta blodet vekk fra Bibelen, og den er uten liv. Ta Jesu død og soning vekk fra troen, og det er en død tro. Men for den som tar imot blodet, blir det til liv! Vi gjør det når vi tror Bibelens ord om Jesu stedfortredende død, og vi gjør det når vi tar imot nattverden. Og påska er en sterk påminnelse om alt dette. La oss ta til oss disse ordene her, at Gud sier faktisk: «Jeg har gitt dere blodet på alteret til soning for dere. Vi har fått det som vi trenger. Og så blir det til liv for oss når vi tar imot! av Eli Fuglestad Bli med i Håpets Kvinners Facebookgruppe her.

Michael D. Fay is a former USMC Combat Artist with multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mike enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1975 and was discharged in 1978 as an 81 mm mortarman (MOS 0341). In 1978, he returned to Penn State Univeristy and graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science in Art Education. In 1983, re-enlisted into the Marines and served as an avionics technician (MOS 6322) in the Presidential Helicopter Squadron (HMX-1) and Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 365 (HMM-365) until 1993. Fay served a tour on recruiting duty (MOS 8411) and was a recruiter of the year for 1989 and 1990. He left active duty at the end of September 1993. Fay returned to service in the USMCR in January 2000. He was assigned as an official combat artist. He is now retired from the Marine Corps. Fay's artwork is in the Marine Corps Combat Art collection, the National Museum of the Marine Corps and the collection of the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.Fay has also had solo exhibitions at the Farnsworth Museum, where he was the target of a protest group. His artwork has been published in Leatherneck Magazine—the official magazine of the Marine Corps Association—and the New York Times. The Guardian called his work "exceptionally moving and thought-provoking", and said, "Over the past decade, Fay has seen action as a war artist with US troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan, but his latest journey was to a military veterans' hospital in Richmond, Virginia. In the resulting New York Times blogs, he relays his meetings with three young men severely wounded in Afghanistan. His account of their injuries and rehabilitation is gripping, but what really deepens the reporting are his drawings, reproduced alongside the articles."Fay has also recorded wounded veterans recovering from their injuries. As part of this work he founded the Joe Bonham Project to document the experiences of the wounded. After retirement, Fay campaigned for enhanced recognition and improved working opportunities for war artists. Fay also uses sculpture. He holds a Master of Fine Arts in Illustration; his thesis was called The Boy Who Drew Soldiers.

Harpist to Queen Victoria, the Welsh composer John Thomas (1826–1913) also wrote prolifically for his own instrument, both for solo harp and for duos of two harps or harp and piano – a combination where the different sounds of the two instruments enhance the clarity of the texture. Thomas' original works use the elegant Romantic style of his own day, but he also left a generous legacy of transcriptions, especially of operatic favorites. Although some of his music was intended for the Victorian drawing room, other pieces require a virtuoso technique – and all of it has a thoroughly engaging melodic appeal.TracksCharles Gounod, arr.

It's our 3-Year Anniversary! No shots this time but please celebrate with us. 3 years of sea stories and poop tales. The trio begins the episode discussing their most memorable moments of the year. They also talk through some of their favorite episodes and least favorite moments. They discuss the expectations vs the reality of hosting a podcast that is primarily based on military topics. Let's take a moment to appreciate our listeners and viewers. Flavor Flav sang the national anthem at a recent NBA game. Who had the best National anthem anyway? Do women in leadership hold a higher standard on their subordinates who are also women? Damo asks Damon and Tisha if having children changed their approach to dealing with Sailors who are having issues with their kids. How are single parents valued? Damon makes a major announcement. Be careful out there, this world is crazy. Teslas, toilets and toilet paper are talked about in this week's do better segment. The army apologized for sending out last minute recruiting orders. A coastguard Chief gets busted for bad “group chat” etiquette. Have you ever been asked to do favors for friends based off your rating / MOS? These and more topics are covered in this episode.

Böneveckan dag 2. En berättelse från Bibeln med frågor och en böneutmaning. 1 Mos 39:20-41:43.

Dal Vangelo di Matteo 23,1-12 In quel tempo, Gesù si rivolse alla folla e ai suoi discepoli dicendo: «Sulla cattedra di Mosè si sono seduti gli scribi e i farisei. Praticate e osservate tutto ciò che vi dicono, ma non agite secondo le loro opere, perché essi dicono e non fanno. Legano infatti fardelli pesanti e difficili da portare e li pongono sulle spalle della gente, ma essi non vogliono muoverli neppure con un dito. Tutte le loro opere le fanno per essere ammirati dalla gente: allargano i loro filattèri e allungano le frange; si compiacciono dei posti d'onore nei banchetti, dei primi seggi nelle sinagoghe, dei saluti nelle piazze, come anche di essere chiamati “rabbì” dalla gente. Ma voi non fatevi chiamare “rabbì”, perché uno solo è il vostro Maestro e voi siete tutti fratelli. E non chiamate “padre” nessuno di voi sulla terra, perché uno solo è il Padre vostro, quello celeste. E non fatevi chiamare “guide”, perché uno solo è la vostra Guida, il Cristo. Chi tra voi è più grande, sarà vostro servo; chi invece si esalterà, sarà umiliato e chi si umilierà sarà esaltato». --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vangelo/message

"Hvem er du?" spurte han. "Jeg er Rut, din tjenestekvinne," svarte hun. "Bre kappen din over meg, for du er løsningsmann." (Rut 3, 9) Dette er et merkelig frieri, med skikker som er ukjent for oss. Men Rut var instruert av No'omi som kjente de lokale skikkene, og Boas som var mannen hun snakket til, han forstod opplegget. En løsningsmann hadde plikter ifølge Moseloven (5. Mos. 25, 5-6), og for enka betydde det oppreisning, forsørgelse og framtid. Det lar seg kanskje ikke overføre direkte, men blir likevel et nydelig bilde på Jesus og oss som bruden Hans. Når vi sier farvel til synden, blir vi stående alene. Sårbare, uten ei sikker framtid. Kun én måte å reddes på, kun én Løsningsmann finnes: Jesus. Når Han spør hvem vi er, skal vi følge Bibelens instruksjoner og svare som Rut: Jeg er din tjenestekvinne. Eller, Jeg er din tjener. Bre kappen din over meg. Den kappen Jesus har, det er Guds rettferdighets kappe, og den dekker oss helt, står det i Jesaja 61, 10. Det er ei kappe som leger, forteller Bibelen (Matt. 14, 36). Og vi blir gitt en ny identitet, ny framtid og håp. Så kan vi i tro og tillit til Jesus be Ham om å bre kappen sin over oss i dag, og vite at Han holder sine forpliktelser overfor oss!

Ever wondered why conflicts arise in financial discussions?It's often because your Money MOs clash with your personal goals or each other. Welcome back to the second part of our two-part episode on understanding your Money MOs. In this episode, we're exploring how understanding these differences and taking clear steps, can lead to unity, clarity, and confidence in managing your money choices and aligning your Money MOs with God's larger story. So, let's embark on this part of your journey together and find strength in your uniqueness. In this episode, John discusses: Navigating financial harmony in relationshipsStrengthening marital bonds through financial communicationEmbracing uniqueness in financial approaches for spiritual growthLeveraging money M.O.s for harmonious relationships and wise stewardshipKey Takeaways:Understanding and embracing your unique money modus operandi (MO) – spender, saver, investor, planner, or giver – can enhance stewardship success and financial harmony and bring you closer to your financial goals.Identifying and appreciating the complements and conflicts between different money MOs is key to productive conversations about money in relationships.Effective financial conversations involve regular meetings, open communication, and shared prayers, ultimately leading to more unity, clarity, and less financial conflict.Ephesians 4:11-16 underscores the importance of unity and growth in faith within a community, and aligning your money MO with God's larger plan for your life is a way to achieve this.“When you are pursuing wise and faithful stewardship through prayer about being a part of God's larger story, your differences can be strengths when they're joined together in faith and wisdom. And when you put all these together — the meeting, the conversation, and the prayer, my friends — let me tell you, you will find more joy, more unity, more clarity, more confidence, and less conflict.” Additional resources:Get your free “Get Recession Ready” mini-course at https://changeforyourdollar.com/Free Goal Achievement Supercharger Lessons & WorksheetsLet's continue the conversation!Connect to Smarter Stewardship at https://smarterstewardship.com/ and gain access to resources that will help you stay in the loop for resources that will actively help you shape your financial future.If you're interested in growing in your faith, wealth, and life, visit https://changeforyourdollar.com/ for all the tools you need from coaching and speaking to my latest book, He Spends, She Spends!If this blessed you today, please Subscribe, Leave a Review, and Share with someone who you believe will benefit from this message!Contact John:Website: https://changeforyourdollar.com/Website: https://smarterstewarship.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smarterstewardshipFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/smarterstewardship

Het was twee voor twaalf volgens Kees van Wonderen én ook de supporters hadden benadrukt dat het tijd voor de ommekeer was. Des te mooier dus dat het afgelopen zaterdag ook weer eens lukt, een overwinning, ook nog eens thuis, met de '0' en ruime cijfers. Promovendus Heracles Almelo werd met 3-0 verslagen en op alle fronten afgetroefd. Is het lek nu boven en de weg naar boven ingezet? Eindelijk weer eens een overwinning waar Frank Beenen, Redmer Wijnsma en Marnix Eringa op terug kunnen blikken én zelfs pas de eerste overwinning waar Redmer dit seizoen op terugblikt. Uiteraard worden de vliegende start, basisdebutant op rechtsback, briljant Sahraoui en onnavolgbare wissels van Kees van Wonderen weer besproken. Redmer doet daarnaast ook een poging om Aad de Mos te evenaren qua rekenskills (zie ook  de titel). Maar snapt iemand het?  In de Ode van Redmer deze week een kleine geschiedenisles inclusief koppeling naar het hedendaagse Nederlandse voetbal, inclusief het al dan niet verzoeken van de goden. Waar het vorige week erg lastig was om drie spelers te nomineren als Camataruaan van de Week was het deze week lastig om het bij drie te houden. Niet omdat ze allemaal de sterren van de hemel speelden, maar wel omdat het ook een teamprestatie was. Op basis van de voorspellingen van de heren gaan we moeizaam door in de beker en wordt het in Amsterdam ook moeizaam... Dat alles en nog veel meer hoor je in deze nieuwe uitzending van Radio Camataru! 

Fredrik LignellGenomsyradhttps://www.ryttargardskyrkan.se/app/undervisning/manniskors-langtan-efter-godhet-ara3bGud är god, påstår vi med rätta. I så fall är varje uttryck för godhet en påminnelse om att han finns. Ibland får vi syn på godheten på oväntade ställen. Gud har lagt en längtan efter godhet i människornas hjärtan. 1 Mos 1:20-31“Gud såg att det var gott.” Tillvaron, skapelsen, människan är i grunden god. Guds godhet har blåsts in i hela tillvaron, och djupast, under alla konflikter och krig, själviskhet och gängvåld, socioekonomisk ojämlikhet, girighet och själviskhet finns ett budskap i skapelseberättelsen: Gud såg att det var mycket gott. Längtan efter godhet är nedlagd i oss som en brist, och när vi stöter på godhet slår det an något djupt i vårt inre. Längtan retas hos oss och blir en påminnelse om en skada i ämnesomsättningen, en brist som drabbar oss i alla våra relationer. Ps 23:6Guds godhet är det vi lever av. Världen är full av godhet. Varje generös gest, hjälpsam gärning, osjälvisk attityd vittnar om det 1 Mos inskärper: Världen är skapad av en rakt igenom god Gud, och det märks. Godheten följer både troende och icke-troende som en kallelse, en lockelse, som något vi vid vissa tillfällen får syn på och anar att vi saknar eller längtar efter. Men krig och konflikter, sönderbombade hem, sönderbombade liv, sönderbombade små barn får oss alla att misströsta. Det är som att godheten, friden, vänligheten ständigt får stryka på foten. I politiska debatter talas det om ”godhetsapostlar och godhetsknarkare”. Till och med kristna kan uttrycka sig raljant över godheten, vilket är både sorgligt och märkligt. Godheten är en av Guds egenskaper, och dessutom något varje lärjunge inbjuds att sträcka sig efter. Men vad är godhet egentligen? Den bär Jesu Kristi ansikte. Aldrig har godheten gestaltats så som i hans liv, död och uppståndelse. Det är ju detta vi också säger i relation till Andens frukt. Det handlar om att bli som Jesus. Gal 5:22-23Vi återkommer gång på gång i vår serie till Paulus undervisning om köttets gärningar och Andens frukt. Det är noterbart i texten att den är så djupt relationell. Den står i plural. Köttets gärningar inträffar främst i gemenskaper, och detsamma gäller Andens frukt. Dorothy Day, en kristen aktivist som ägnade sitt liv åt att hjälpa fattiga — en viktig profetröst i 1900-talets västvärld — säger om sig själv att hon kämpar för ”ett samhälle där det är enklare att vara god.” ------------------------För samtal:Vad betyder det för synen på oss själva, på varandra och på skapelsen att Gud skapade och såg att det var gott?När ni hör att Guds godhet och nåd följer oss alla våra livsdagar, vad tänker ni då? Vad kan vi höra för löfte i det, och vad blir vi inte lovade? Fundera tillsammans på hur godhet kan yttra sig i en gemenskap, och hur den kan smitta en värld märkt av konflikter, ondska och mörker. Aktivisten Dorothy Day, som arbetade för bättre villkor för fattiga och var en profilerad fredsaktivist, påstod i dagens predikan att man kan kämpa för "ett samhälle där det är enklare att vara god". Hur skulle en sådan kamp kunna se ut?

Money is a powerful force, often at the center of many of life's opportunities and challenges, especially in our closest relationships. We've all heard that money can be a source of marital discord, but it doesn't stop there. It can also fuel worry and anxiety in our personal lives. In this episode, I'm taking a closer look at five distinct money MOs, our “modus operandi”, our well-established patterns and behaviors when it comes to money. We all have unique approaches - some of these approaches are strengths, and others may bring challenges. Join me for part one of this two-part series as we delve deeper into understanding our money MOs and how they can lead us closer to God's plans and greater unity in our relationships. In this episode, John discusses: Exploring the different approaches to moneyRecognizing and embracing your unique money MOHow different money tendencies can strengthen or strain partnershipsFinding harmony and unity in your financial life and relationshipsKey Takeaways:Our money MOs are ingrained patterns of dealing with finances, shaped by upbringing and experiences, influencing how you spend, save, invest, plan, or give.We exhibit diverse financial behaviors, with different priorities, each with unique strengths and challenges.Recognizing and appreciating the strengths within each money MO can promote financial harmony in relationships, emphasizing the importance of effective communication, understanding, and unity in managing finances.Embracing our unique money MOs as part of God's design, you can navigate financial strengths and weaknesses with God's larger story, fostering communication, unity, and mutual growth in love.“The goal here is not to make you into the same person but to be the person you were made to be with your money MOs, to have them be surrendered into the context of God's larger story.” Additional resources:Get your free “Get Recession Ready” mini-course at https://changeforyourdollar.com/Free Goal Achievement Supercharger Lessons & WorksheetsLet's continue the conversation!Connect to Smarter Stewardship at https://smarterstewardship.com/ and gain access to resources that will help you stay in the loop for resources that will actively help you shape your financial future.If you're interested in growing in your faith, wealth, and life, visit https://changeforyourdollar.com/ for all the tools you need from coaching and speaking to my latest book, He Spends, She Spends!If this blessed you today, please Subscribe, Leave a Review, and Share with someone who you believe will benefit from this message!Contact John:Website: https://changeforyourdollar.com/Website: https://smarterstewarship.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smarterstewardshipFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/smarterstewardship

Idén om avgudadyrkan finns i olika religioner men även i totalitära politiska system där oliktänkande rensas bort. Thella och Lollo gästas av Jesper Huor, bokaktuell med Förgör de falska gudarna. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. DEL 14*En tjur är en tjur är en tjur? Tjuren som symbol har hängt med länge och fått symbolisera många olika gudar i olika religioner - med olika egenskaper. Bibelvetare Thomas Kazen reder ut.* Vaccinerad mot utopier och kulturkrig. Jesper Huor, aktuell med boken Förgör de falska gudarna - Palmyra och kriget mot kulturarvet, berättar om hur hans egen fars försvinnande i Pol Pot-regimens Kambodja, och hans uppväxt och sökande efter svar, gjort att han inte själv gärna tar stark politisk ställning och inte heller är intresserad av att vara med i det nya ”kulturkriget” i offentlig debatt.*Du skall inga andra gudar hava... Varför vill man straffa och utplåna bilder av gamla gudar och andras gudar? Det första budordet är brutet redan då Mose kommer ned från berget Sinai och får se sitt folks dans kring guldkalven som hans bror Aron låtit tillverka. En fruktansvärd vedergällning följer! Jesper väljer texten ur 2 Mosebok som får honom att associera till totalitära regimer genom historien - senast IS terrorstyre och förstörandet av kulturarvet i Palmyra.*Kvinnan ska tiga i församlingen. Aposteln Paulus förknippas med dessa ord i 1 Korinthierbrevet i Nya Testamentet. Men var det han själv som skrev så?

Check it out below: DAvid Sepulveda (00:00:00) - I tried to explain to them, Well, you're not taking into account, number one, inflation. You're not taking into account, you know, increase in cost of goods. You're not taking into account just increase in cost of living, you know. So all of those things, I think, are important factors that a lot of people kind of. Bypass. They don't they don't take it into consideration as much as I think they should.   Intro (00:00:25) - Welcome to the how to scale commercial real estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.   Sam Wilson (00:00:38) - David Sepulveda is a US Air Force retired master sergeant with a strong track record in leadership and discipline. He is a real estate investor and also now a commercial broker. David, welcome to the show.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:00:49) - Thank you for having me, Sam. Absolutely.   Sam Wilson (00:00:51) - The pleasure is mine. David There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:01:00) - 90s All right.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:01:02) - Well, I honestly started back in 2013. That's where I started my real estate journey. I started out as an investor. It was really my focus to just try to grow my wealth, take care of my family, try to figure out how to get a piece of that American dream, if you will. Um, so got into tax lien investing. From there. I graduated to tax deed investing from tax deed investing scaled up to the single family. Did a very light flip. Then I scaled it up to a major flip. And then I said, Well, you know, the natural progression is to get into commercial real estate. What I noticed when I got into commercial real estate is that it's a little bit more difficult to kind of that entry to barrier, if you will. Um, you have a lot of people that if you don't already have a proven track record, they don't want to play with you, you know, they don't want to allow you to, to come to their sandbox.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:02:03) - So I had to do is I had to figure out, well, hey, if this is a space that I really want to be and how do I break into that? And that's what led me to get my license as a commercial broker, because I still wanted to be an investor. But since nobody else wanted me to play, I was going to play the way That's awesome.   Sam Wilson (00:02:21) - So did you skip the residential brokerage side altogether?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:02:27) - I did. And that's that's not something that normally happens, right? I will say that most brokers and to be honest with you, when I got my license, they didn't even want to talk to me. Right. I actually had to go in person into the different brokerages and say, Hey, here I am, this is who I am. Because commercial real estate is a completely different language than residential real estate. But once I went into the office and I started speaking the language, they were like, Oh, he does know what he's talking about. We can allow him to play with us.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:03:01) - So that's really what it took, was the persistence and that just resilience, you know, that that that thing that we get taught in the military being resilient be resilient.   Sam Wilson (00:03:10) - Absolutely when you so yeah one of the things that sound like you did right was to understand who it was you were talking to when you went to these brokerages and say, hey, look, I've already done my homework. I know. I know this industry. I mean, a lot of times, like you said, you got to have some sort of experience or something to kind of break in or allow get your foot in the door. What what did you do once you got into the commercial real estate world to really solidify your position?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:03:39) - I really had to market myself as an expert. I had to make sure that I conveyed not only the confidence, but the knowledge. You know, because you can have all the confidence in the world. But if you don't have the knowledge to back it, you're still going to look like a fool.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:03:54) - You know, So it was nice to come back home to southwest Florida because I know the area I grew up here. So it was very easy for me to already have a good working knowledge of the area. So then all I had to do was really express to all of the different business owners and the different landlords and whatnot that I do understand the market as well as the market product itself.   Sam Wilson (00:04:20) - Got it. Got it. Very, very cool. So what year was it then that you got your or you became a commercial real estate broker?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:04:28) - I actually got my license back in 21, 2021.   Sam Wilson (00:04:33) - Okay. License in 2021. And you specialize. We talked about this off air, so I'll ask a little bit of leading question. But you specialize in retail and multifamily. Things have changed incredibly in both of those asset classes from 2020, especially in the retail side. And multifamily has gone hot and heavy. And then, you know, we've seen quite a bit of slowdown on the transaction side on that.   Sam Wilson (00:04:56) - Is that something you're also seeing in your market or are things still just running wide open where you are?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:05:02) - Southwest Florida is a very hot market. We're actually seeing growth in a lot of different sectors. So unfortunately, don't get to capitalize on the the downturn as everybody else may be able to in other areas of the of the continent. But southwest Florida is just the growth. Has been phenomenal. We're talking, last I checked, a thousand people moving to Florida daily. And out of that thousand we were capturing here in southwest Florida, I believe it was maybe, you know, 10 to 15% of that.   Sam Wilson (00:05:39) - Wow. That's a lot. That's a lot. That's really interesting. So you haven't seen the transaction volume slow down at all on the multifamily side?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:05:48) - No, we saw a little bit of a pause because of Hurricane Ian. So a lot of people were, you know, kind of holding on to their money, both on the buyer side and seller side. The buyers were trying to see what the sellers were going to do with the properties, if they were going to fix it up with the insurance money, they were going to take the insurance money and run.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:06:06) - So we saw a bit of a pause there. But man, southwest Florida is so strong and so resilient. Man. They just came back and, you know, a year later and it's as if, you know, obviously we have areas where you can see the the damage. But, I mean, everybody's going strong, man.   Sam Wilson (00:06:23) - That's great. I think it's one of those things that, you know, we hear it, but you don't if you listen to the national conversation, it's going to say, man, you know, transaction volume in multifamily is down, what, 75% year over year on a national level. But real estate is indeed local. So I think that's the other part of it is, you know, for you guys, it's almost as if interest rates it sounds like interest rates have risen, but you guys haven't taken notice.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:06:49) - No, not as bad as that. Other parts mean. There might have been a bit of a slowdown, but not enough for me to be like, Hey, there's just an abundance of multifamily come shopping here, you know.   Sam Wilson (00:07:01) - Come shopping and say, Well, let's talk about then what are people buying right now that makes sense for you guys?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:07:09) - Man, Let me tell you, we can't keep multifamily on the shelf. We can't keep industrial on the shelf. Um, even retail now is starting to pick it back up. You know, now that Covid has slowed down and we're getting the tourism back into Florida. So a lot of different sectors, especially like I said, here in southwest Florida, we're seeing a good increase.   Sam Wilson (00:07:30) - Wow, That's awesome. That's awesome. Let's talk about what you invest in personally. Now, you've been you talked about this early on. You know, in 2013, you were buying tax liens and tax deeds, which I think is kind of an advanced strategy, to be honest with you, for your kind of intro into real estate. Most people don't start with deals with that much hair on them. We won't go down that rabbit hole, but that's someday maybe we'll have you back on and we can talk about that journey because I think that's a very interesting one.   Sam Wilson (00:07:57) - But what are you personally investing in now?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:08:02) - Now I am still investing in multifamily. I'm investing in small retail as well as small businesses.   Sam Wilson (00:08:11) - Interesting. Okay. How do you as a broker tell me this from a not from an ethical standpoint, but just from a working with your client standpoint to know that you're putting their interests first? I'm sure that's something that you have to think about when you see deals come across your desk, you say, Hey, man, that's a great opportunity. But should you know, you don't want to eat the best and leave the leftovers for your clients. So how does that work with you both as an investor and as a broker?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:08:41) - It's all about just open and honest communication, right? One of the things that we've learned in the military is integrity first. And I always try to make sure that I'm open and honest with my clients. Let them know, listen, I. Understand that you're trying to sell this property and I may have an interest in this property.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:08:59) - Here's what I could offer you. And to be fair, I will also let you know that if we were to take this to market, you would get X amount. And there's quite a delta between my offer and X amount, but I can close quickly. You know, it'll be a smooth transaction as opposed to us being on the market and allowing the market to tell us when it will close.   Sam Wilson (00:09:23) - Right, right. Yeah, that's that's really, really interesting. Yeah. But that would be and that's, I mean, that's, that's the beauty of doing what you do is that you can offer, offer people deals that make sense for them in order to avoid a lot of those pains of taking deals there to market. Well tell me this, David, as a master sergeant in the military and I will openly say I knew nothing about the military. I was not in the military. I'm often accused of it just because I was raised by a marine. And so I know what it's like to grow up in one of those houses where it's, you know, be seated by X number of times and out the door by this very, very regimented.   Sam Wilson (00:10:00) - But what does a master sergeant do and what are some of the things from a leadership and leadership development perspective, I think that you learned inside of the military that still guide what you do today.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:10:13) - Well. So when you're looking at the military, it's really broken down into two different sectors. You have your enlisted sector and you have your officer sector. Being a master sergeant, which is equivalent to E7, is an enlisted sector rank. E7, Master Sergeant is one of the higher ranks. It is part of what they call the top three, the highest rank you can achieve as an enlisted members and E9, which is a chief master sergeant in the Air Force. And then you have below that the senior master sergeant, and then you have the master sergeant. Now depending on your in the Air Force, we call it AFS in the different branches, they call it by a different name. For example, in the army is Mos. But basically what it is, it's your job in the military. So depending on your job in the military can really determine what your responsibilities and your roles are.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:11:08) - You could be in charge of a whole section of airmen and it could be include 20 or 30 people as well as a certain number of civilians. Or you could be in a very small shop and only be responsible for 2 or 3 people. A lot of my time as a master sergeant, I spent it in what they call the commander support staff. So the general has an admin staff and that admin staff is responsible for making sure that the airmen are taken care of. Whether we're talking about their vacation time, which we call leave, we're talking about any pay issues that they may have, um, making sure that they're, I don't know what you call them on the civilian side, but we call them enlisted performance reports, so their PRs. So that's really where I spent a lot of my time as a master sergeant is making sure that the airmen were taken care of.   Sam Wilson (00:12:08) - Wow, that's really, really awesome. What are some of the things I guess that you felt like were developed in you as a leader in that role?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:12:19) - Well, um, there's really a lot of things that you learn being in the military, right? You learned teamwork, you learned, um, the discipline and the core values, which is the the integrity, first excellence and everything we do, you know, and I think a lot of that has carried over into civilian sector for me now is making sure that, you know, like I stated before, I'm open and honest with my communication.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:12:47) - I'm letting you know, letting my clients know, like, listen. I can purchase this, but it's going to be significantly lower than if you were to take it to market. However, it's a lot quicker. So that integrity, just being that, you know, that honest dealings with people and you know, the discipline because real estate is really a disciplined game, you have to continuously do the cold calling. You have to continuously do the door knocking. You have to continuously look at the market, the market trends, see what's going on, see what changes are coming into place, whether we're talking about, you know, new policies, new laws, you know, different, you know, companies coming in that may affect other sectors of your businesses. So it's just the discipline of doing the thing over and over again, no matter how much you might dread it.   Sam Wilson (00:13:43) - And man, there is plenty of that to go around, I think for all of us, there's there's plenty of those things where you go, yep, I don't really want to do that today, but it's something you just got to put your head down and go.   Sam Wilson (00:13:55) - It's probably easier in the military when there's somebody, you know, yelling at you if you don't get it done than it is when you just can, you know, hide it under your own to do list. You're like, you know, maybe tomorrow we'll get that done. But either way, I like both things that you said there was the adaptability is the way I would summarize that when you said, you know, being open to changes and looking at what changes are coming and then the open and honest communication side of things, I think I was speaking with somebody yesterday and they said, man, you know, I just I'm just not very I'm pretty non-confrontational. I'm like, man, like, just one stop saying that. I said, Because that's negative self-talk. And two, we can rephrase this into something where that open and honest communication like you're talking about can become part of who, who that person is. And they're significantly younger than me. But I think it was it was it was just a great conversation, a reminder that we can constantly be improving the way that we communicate.   Sam Wilson (00:14:50) - Let's go back, I guess one of the things I thought about when you were saying looking at changes and we're going to take a real left turn here in conversation, so I apologize, but I wrote it down here as a note. The the Florida market, you're on the brink of, I think what's the name of the next hurricane potentially heading your way right now. They named that.   Sam Wilson (00:15:07) - Yet Adelia.   Sam Wilson (00:15:09) - Amelia okay so that's that's and we're recording this at the end of August here in 2023 hopefully hopefully that passes by without much to talk about. But the insurance market's for what you guys deal with in Florida. I mean, that's a hot topic. Like what are you advising from the brokerage side? Like how are you advising your clients and your own portfolio right now? What are you doing on the insurance side of stuff?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:15:35) - I mean, that has been a thorn in everyone's side because so many insurance companies have pulled out of Florida altogether, which, you know, by the law of supply and demand, the ones that have stayed are able to jack up their prices and have I mean, you're talking about people used to pay, you know, let's just say 100 grand annually.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:16:00) - Now they're looking at almost half a million annually, you know, So the increase is definitely hurting a lot of people's pockets. Unfortunately, it's a necessary evil. You know, because being here in Florida, you can't just go without flood insurance. You can't just go without, you know, any insurances to cover your assets. So, unfortunately, you know, I try to make sure that I have surrounded myself with the best team so that my clients can win. So I do work with a good insurance broker who goes out there and finds my clients the best insurance coverage that they can.   Sam Wilson (00:16:43) - What are people doing to offset some of those just astronomical rate increases?   Sam Wilson (00:16:50) - Well.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:16:51) - I mean, you're seeing a lot of. A lot of adjustments, whether we're talking scaling back on their inventory in the retail sector, whether they're talking. Increasing the rents in the multifamily sector. So you're seeing a lot of. Passed as being passed, you know, passed down, which it's understandable, but unfortunately when you're in a market.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:17:20) - That you have a mix of fixed income and disposable income. Those with the fixed income really feel the pain of those, you know, costs being passed down.   Sam Wilson (00:17:34) - And there's really nothing. There's nothing you could do about it. I mean, it's just it is. I mean, you can't you can't continue to absorb those astronomical rate increases without then eventually, you know, passing that on down to the to the end user. And that's I just I don't see a way any other way around that. Especially, again, as you said, you know, the the insurers are leaving the market, leaving just a few there to choose from. And I guess that's just something probably to think through as you look at investing in Florida or markets like Florida that have some of these associated natural disaster risk where it's like, okay. Do you see people underwriting a continued increase in insurance costs where they say, okay, you know, it was 100, now we are 500. But you know what? We're going to go ahead and budget for a million.   Sam Wilson (00:18:26) - I mean, is that part of people's equation now?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:18:31) - I think it's always smart to make sure that when you're underwriting any asset class that you always increase cost. I think, you know, whether we're talking about a increase of 3% or whether we're talking an increase based on prime rate or even the CPI. I think it's it's wise to I don't see it a lot. I think I'm seeing it more now. You know, now that has skyrocketed. But prior to Hurricane Ian, when I would talk to my clients and I would, you know, see where their mindset was and try to pick their brains as to how they're coming to the numbers that they're coming. I tried to explain to them, Well, you're not taking into account, number one, inflation. You're not taking into account, you know, increase in cost of goods. You're not taking into account just increase in cost of living, you know. So all of those things, I think, are important factors that a lot of people kind of.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:19:29) - Bypass. They don't they don't take it into consideration as much as I think they should.   Sam Wilson (00:19:34) - Interesting. Interesting. Well, there's there's the nugget for the day. If this is something you haven't been considering in your underwriting, David just laid it out for you. Make sure you're including those things and really probably padding those stats, especially in higher risk markets such as Florida on some of those variable costs that you have. I mean, that's the bummer about it. It's like you have no absolutely no control over it. It's like, oh, by the way, your insurance went up 400 grand and you did nothing wrong. It's not like it's not like half of your property burned down. You rebuilt it and they're like, okay, well, you're a terrible manager. It's like, by the way, you're just we're going to quintuple the cost of your insurance and you're just kind of stuck. So that's, you know, preparing for some of those things can be a difficult thing to do and put in your underwriting because it might might kill more deals than than you would like.   Sam Wilson (00:20:26) - But then again, yeah.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:20:28) - And I think that's what a lot of people think. That's the deterrent for a lot of people. I think they're so caught up in the momentum of trying to get a deal that they don't look at the fact like, well, what are the factors that will make this a good deal? Because in the long run, if you don't take those things into consideration, even a good deal today may not be a good deal tomorrow.   Sam Wilson (00:20:48) - Right. Right. Absolutely. Well said. David, thank you for taking the time here to come on the show today. Certainly enjoyed learning about what a master sergeant is in the military, what your leadership skills there that you had in the military and how you translate those over into what you've done. I love the go get them attitude in 2013, just jumping right into tax liens and tax deeds. I think that's that's that's really, really cool. And then and then, like you said, positioning yourself as an expert, jumping out there and saying, hey, look, I'm going to be a commercial real estate broker becoming an expert there in your market and in your space.   Sam Wilson (00:21:22) - You've shared a lot of great things with us today. Certainly appreciate that. If our listeners want to get in touch with you and learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?   DAvid Sepulveda (00:21:30) - Honestly, you can find me on most social media under commercial real estate. Dave Or you can look up David Sepulveda with con consultants in Fort Myers, and that'd be the best way to get hold of me.   Sam Wilson (00:21:41) - Fantastic. David, thank you again for your time today. I certainly appreciate it.   DAvid Sepulveda (00:21:46) - Absolutely. Thank you for having me.   Sam Wilson (00:21:47) - Hey, thanks for listening to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate podcast. If you can do me a favor and subscribe and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, whatever platform it is you use to listen. If you can do that for us, that would be a fantastic help to the show. It helps us both attract new listeners as well as rank higher on those directories. So appreciate you listening.

Meet our amazing guest today, Charles Mayfield. He is a risk specialist, a food and farming advocate, and the founder of Farrow, a company that excels in skin health through regenerative practices and handcrafted products designed to nourish and revitalize your skin. Given the alarming levels of toxicity in our environment, particularly within the skincare industry, Charles felt a strong calling to expose the truth about the harmful substances present in modern skincare products. This was his moment to step forward, raise his voice, express his concerns, and take action, where the government had fallen short. His mission is to assist people in healing their skin and eliminating toxins from their bodies. Thus, he established his company, Farrow. Farrow produces animal-based skincare products that are chemical-free, promoting healthy and radiant skin. In their production process, Farrow employs a regenerative farming system to raise healthy and contented animals, ultimately yielding skincare products that are healthier. In this episode, Charles Mayfield uncovers the dark side of the skincare industry. Charles discusses why it's essential to discontinue the use of modern skincare products containing plant-based ingredients and chemicals, advocating for a switch to animal-based, chemical-free alternatives. Charles also dispels misconceptions about the use of pigs in skincare products and explains the benefits. Join us as we delve into the truth about the skincare industry, the advantages of animal-based skincare products, key factors to consider when selecting the right products, and more!

[10:09] The Dark Side Of The Skincare Industry In 1938, the Food and Cosmetics Act was passed, and the only ingredient requiring pre-market safety testing and skincare were color additives.  Today,  the Food and Cosmetics Act has been updated, but this time, cosmetics are excluded. This results in the preeminent legislation protecting consumers requiring premarket safety testing in skincare is almost 100 years old. Historically, plant-based skincare has been something that was reserved for the elite class because it is hard to produce. However, common people do not use skin care since they are always in close contact with animal fat. Plant-based skincare propaganda doesn't necessarily mean it's healthy. Most of them are loaded with vegetable oils and toxic ingredients, which harms our body. [17:14] Still Using Skincare with Toxic Ingredients? Protect Your Body, Stop It Now! Humans are a very resilient species, but we have our limits. Nowadays, we reached the tipping point of toxic environmental overload of our environment, and skincare largely contributes to it. Avoid skincare products with water because bacteria propagate faster in water. In America, 11 chemicals are prohibited from skincare. But in Europe, over 1300 regulated chemicals are either prohibited or limited for use in skincare. The Government focuses on the profits they can get rather than protecting the people. So take ownership and responsibility for your health. Modern skincare is drying you out and aging your skin faster.  [33:50] The Truth About Pigs: The Benefits of Pig Fat For Your Body Pigs are dirty animals if you don't properly cook them. But they are also magical animals if you raise them outside in the sun, feed them properly, and always give them fresh pasture. Pigs are four-legged humans. Practice surgeons use them because their organs and skins are close to the human body.  The environment of the industrial market for pigs and chickens is awful, which is what makes them dirty compared to farm animals that are raised properly and develop vitamins vital for our bodies. Lard is rendered subcutaneous belly fat from a pig. [41:19] Animal-Based Skincare: Benefits of Using Farrow Products To Take Care of Your Skin Farrow offers products such as skin food, face food, and a sublingual CBD elixir. The ingredients are the same between the skin and face food, but the ratios are different. Going outside, using skin food is the best choice. Their face-specific product is formulated with a little bit more leaf lard, which is colorless and odorless, whereas lard has a little bit of an animal fat smell and taste. Tallow is the rendered visceral fat from a ruminant animal. Mos predominantly beef.  Farrow's products are temperature-sensitive. [51:44] Where Does Farrow's Skincare Product Ingredients Come From? Fallow's raw ingredient comes from Joyce Farms, the source for keto carnivore snacks and carnivore bars, and so they are a vertically integrated pasture-based high-quality meat producer.  Raising a healthy and happy pig is critical to creating high-quality skincare products.

In this episode of Moments in Leadership, host David B. Armstrong spends time with retired Marine Colonel Stephen Davis, a veteran of the post-Vietnam War Marine Corps, the Reconnaissance Community, Joint Special Operations, and multiple combat tours up to the Regimental Command level, where they spend time discussing various topics related to hard-won lessons from the front lines combined with a realist take on what command, leadership, and management means. From Colonel Davis' initial training operations and three courts martial in his first week of command, the conversation discusses the concept of having, understanding, and being humble enough to ask for assistance from those who have been there before, namely the Staff Non-Commissioned Officers who have the inherent experience in an organization. This oft-ridden military maxim is buttressed by examples of not being wholly subservient to these people either and Colonel Davis provides examples where ‘stellar' Marines have cracked under pressure and changes have to be made to protect the troops.    Colonel Davis never expected to stay in the Marine Corps and some of the reasons he decided to make it a career early into it provide some examples of how leadership is often the primary determinant of wanting to belong, or conversely, to leave, an organization. Leaders make the culture. Colonel Davis subscribed to this notion enough that he made himself overly useful as an infantry officer in a Reconnaissance unit as its Supply Officer. This led to large dividends down the road in his command life and shows true leaders take opportunities, even if they appear bad, and make the best out of them.  The Reconnaissance Community instilled numerous values within Colonel Davis. Specifically, he learned how to lead overachievers, how sometimes metrics are not the best indicators of a ‘good' unit or Marine, and the differences between Management and Leadership.  One of the more interesting lessons Colonel Davis provides is on the concept of the combat leader. Colonel Davis leans into the idea that leaders need to be where they need to be, but not always at the front. He is also a believer that the line between a bad decision and the Medal of Honor is razor-thin and medal chasers have no business in the combat arms field.  Colonel Davis provides discussion points on the focus of a leader (the Commanding Officer) vice a manager (the Executive Officer/Chief of Staff) and how they are both important to the overall success of an organization.  The episode goes into Colonel Davis' time as the Regimental Combat Team 2 Commanding Officer and the successes (Manuever Warfare use of illusionary force structure in a Counterinsurgency environment to take ‘denied' strongholds in two days) and the failures (Moral issue sins of commission and omission with the Haditha killings) and how these incidents led to him once again blossoming to help with similar issues within the Naval Special Warfare Community, specifically moral injury, boundless loyalty, and who does a person owe their allegiance to. Overall, the episode is an insightful discussion about leadership, moral convictions, and the ability to take the best out of situations.  Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast  Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

Gud hotar människan med dödsstraff om hon arbetar på vilodagen. Inte så trevligt. Men vi diskuterar i alla fall idén med sabbaten/shabbat. Gäst: Anneli Rådestad. Med som vanligt är också bibelvetare Thomas Kazen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. DEL 13* Pintele Yid - den judiska gnistan. Anneli Rådestad, idag chefredaktör för tidskriften Judisk Krönika, gick i skola hos katolska nunnor. Först som tioåring fick hon av sin mamma veta att hon var judinna. Snart krävde hon att få lära sig allt om judisk tradition. Till SFLB har hon tagit med sig sista kapitlet i Exodus, 2 mosebok, för att diskutera idén med shabbat, veckovilan, som hon själv har svårt att få till i allt annat som ska hinnas med.*Ett palats i tiden. Traditionen med shabbat eller veckosabbat formades troligen under israeliternas fångenskap i Babylon och tycks hänga ihop med idén om en portabel helgedom, säger Bibelvetare Thomas Kazen - om man förföljs och ens tempel förstörs så får man hitta ett sätt att ha Gud med sig på flykten och var man än är.*Vila eller dö! I Exodus, 2 mosebok, står det att den som inte helgar vilodagen ska dödas. Inte så trevligt. Lollo och Thella undrar varför helighet och våld tycks hänga ihop så ofta.*Mamma valde mig. Trickstern Jakob lurar sig till sin far Isaks välsignelse, under överinseende av mamma Rebecka, så att tvillingbrodern Esau blir utan. Lollo fascineras av Jakobs svekfulla karaktär som ändå låter honom bli Guds utvalde.

This episode is a departure from our usual. Today we interview Rick Curtis, a DesertShield/Desert Storm Marine warrior. And in a further departure Rick's MOS is 352. That work will become clear as you listen to the podcast. However, the most fascinating part of Rick's life comes after his discharge from the Corps. Listen and be both informed and entertained.

Should we expect Moore in Genetic Engineering? Moore's Law, Genetic Engineering and Historical Analogies Ross Bassett, Professor of History at NC State Abstract In 1965 Gordon Moore published a paper with observations on progress in integrated circuits. In the nearly sixty years since, the continued applicability of those observations, now enshrined as Moore's law, has been the driving force behind the power and ubiquity of electronics in today's world. Moore's Law has become the point of reference for any field of science or technology experiencing rapid growth. This presentation looks at Moore's Law in historical detail, arguing that it is as much or more about capitalism than science or technology. The audience is invited to comment on whether a more nuanced and historically accurate Moore's Law might be relevant to genetic engineering. Speaker Bio Ross Bassett is a professor of history at North Carolina State University, where he teaches courses in the history of technology and the history of capitalism. He was originally trained as an electrical engineer and worked at IBM for 8 years. He later received his PhD in history from Princeton. He is the author of two books: To the Digital Age (a history of the MOS transistor), and The Technological Indian. He is currently working on a history of French engineers and their learning and use of the English language.

  The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a standardized test used by the United States military to assess the aptitude and potential abilities of individuals seeking to join the armed forces. Here are some key things to know about the ASVAB: Purpose: The primary purpose of the ASVAB is to help military recruiters assess a candidate's suitability for various military occupations (MOS) and to determine which roles they might be best suited for based on their skills and abilities. Test Content: The ASVAB consists of multiple subtests that measure different aspects of cognitive abilities and knowledge. These subtests cover areas such as arithmetic reasoning, mathematics knowledge, verbal expression, paragraph comprehension, general science, mechanical comprehension, and electronics information. Scores: ASVAB scores are reported as standard scores and percentile scores. The standard scores are used by the military to determine eligibility for different military jobs. The percentile scores indicate how an individual's performance compares to other test takers. Composite Scores: The ASVAB also provides composite scores, such as the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) score. The AFQT score is derived from specific ASVAB subtests and is used to determine an individual's eligibility for enlistment in the military. Branch Requirements: Different branches of the military may have varying minimum score requirements for enlistment and specific job assignments. Some branches and positions may place more emphasis on certain subtests or scores than others. Study Resources: There are various study resources available to help individuals prepare for the ASVAB. These resources may include study guides, practice tests, and online tools provided by official military sources and commercial publishers. Test Administration: The ASVAB is administered at Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS) and other authorized testing centers. It can be taken by high school students as part of the ASVAB Career Exploration Program or by individuals seeking to enlist in the military. Importance of Preparation: While the ASVAB is not an IQ test and doesn't measure innate intelligence, preparation can significantly improve performance. Familiarizing yourself with the test format, content, and practicing problem-solving skills can lead to better results. Validity Period: ASVAB scores are generally valid for two years from the date of testing. If you decide to retake the test, the most recent scores will be used for enlistment purposes. Career Guidance: The ASVAB results provide valuable information about career options both within the military and beyond. Even if you don't pursue a military career, the skills and interests identified by the ASVAB can help guide your civilian career choices. Remember, the ASVAB is an important step for individuals considering military service, and understanding its structure, scoring, and implications can help you make informed decisions about your military career path.   https://asvabdomination.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/EPISODE-19-PODCAST.mp3 Be good to yourself, treat yourself as a learner.

SPECIAL THANKS TO MATT MIRANDA AND JEREMY KOFSKY FOR EDITING AND SHOW NOTES SUPPORTIn this episode of Moments in Leadership, retired Vice Admiral William (Bill) Merz and host David B. Armstrong discuss how life can take strange turns to making capable leaders, oftentimes through hard times and rough seas. VADM Merz has seen the depths of the ocean and the heights of a superiorly led organization. His insights are valuable to all those who don't want to be crushed under the everlasting burdens of leadership and ownership.  Learning the ‘personality' of an organization is similar to understanding the ‘personality' of a submarine, especially one as temperamental as the Thresher class submarine VADM Merz started on. Organizations that place a priority on the importance of the mission, expect professionalism in all duties, and have tangible results all work to produce leaders that all pull in the same direction. Setting a standard, and holding people to that standard, provides a way for people to see their potential and sets the conditions for them to operate at their best.  The standards of the submarine fleet are set by the accountability foisted upon the submarine's commanding officer. They are absolutely responsible and accountable for everything on the submarine, to include the safe and effective use of the nuclear powerplant. This stringent adherence to accountability, and the training/certification elements of a submarine officer's career has created the paradigm wherein, as VADM Merz states, ‘there will never be a second nuclear issue in the Navy, because after the first, the whole program will be shut down'.  To enforce accountability, and a learning culture, VADM Merz states one needs to celebrate mistakes, while this seems counterintuitive, the ability to distill failures to the procedural reason they occurred ultimately reinforces the accountability and ownership of the group. Conversely, good things happening by accident also needs to be investigated as procedures should result in predictable outcomes that can be repeatable.  A command climate that can foster this ‘celebration of mistakes' is one that empowers all within and displays consistency. A leader who yells all the time can be fine, as long as their yelling is consistent in its application. When the yelling has no purpose other than to get frustrations out, then the command climate will falter. A good command climate is also one in which junior leaders feel respected enough to stand up to senior leadership and tell them when things are not working in proper order. VADM Merz gives examples throughout his career of the good and bad coming out of these situations, including a time or two when he himself was the ‘bad' boss.  The wanting to be with the ‘best' can lead people away from their best instincts in a poor command influence. VADM Merz provides stories of working operations with Navy SEALs and how arguments between SEALs and submariners about tactics and rigging would be immediately smashed by senior SEALs, who would tell these highly proficient warriors they need to understand submarines are not their specialty and to let those who are experts in their areas execute the best way to support the mission. The best person is always the best person, you need the right person to perform the task.  Once the experts are identified in an area, an appropriate command climate is fostered, and mistakes can be celebrated, the didactic nature in which the submarine community approaches problems can be applied to any other number of problem sets. VADM Merz provides the example of his time as the 7th Fleet Commander having the lowest suicide rate in decades and being able to uncover unconscious bias within the ranks.   VADM Merz's concludes with the importance of gaining the trust of subordinates and using the  tools available to a commander, namely mast as a tool to correct and provide guidance to those who are accountable for carrying out the national-level high risk missions of the Submarine Service. For those who are looking for insights into the Silent Service or just want a more effective organization, this is a great conversation to be apart of.   Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast  Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

If he feels he owns his job and acts accordingly, he need not worry about his next job.Responsibility – Along with ownership comes the need for acceptance of full responsibility for the work. Shared responsibility means that no one is responsible. Unless one person who is truly responsible can be identified when something goes wrong, then no one has really been responsible.Attention to Detail – A tendency among managers, particularly as they move to higher positions, is to think they no longer need to be concerned with details. If the boss is not concerned about details, his subordinates also will not consider them important.Priorities – If you are to manage your job, you must set priorities. Too many people let the job set the priorities. You must apply self-discipline to ensure your energy is applied where it is most needed.Know What is Going On – You must establish simple and direct means to find out what is going on in detail in the area of your responsibility. I require regular, periodic reports directly to me from the personnel throughout my program.Hard Work – For this, there is no substitute. A manager who does not work hard or devote extra effort cannot expect his people to do so. You must set the example. Hard work compensates for many shortcomings. You may not be the smartest or most knowledgeable person, but if you dedicate yourself to the job and put in the required effort, your people will follow your lead.Checking Up – An essential element of carrying out my work is the need to have it checked by an independent source. Even the most dedicated individual make mistakes.Facing the Facts – Another principle for managing a successful program is to resist the natural human inclination to hope things will work out, despite evidence or doubt to the contrary. It is not easy to admit that what you thought was correct did not turn out that way. If conditions require it, one must face the facts and brutally make needed changes despite considerable cost and schedule delays. The man in charge must personally set the example in this area.” Moments in Leadership - Ron Boxall, VADM, US Navy (themiloffice.com) Admiral James A. Winnefeld Jr: Top Gun, Gender Equality, & The Best Parts of Commanding a Warship (themiloffice.com) What is Moments in Leadership?Moments in Leadership is a podcast where you will hear firsthand about the careers of senior military leaders as they share their unique and individual experiences. Moments in Leadership will immerse you in real-life stories where you will learn about the challenging situations these accomplished leaders faced and discover the lessons they learned early in their careers that were the most influential in developing their overall leadership style.  Conceptualized by a group of friends who served together as young officers in the early to mid-1990s sitting around a firepit telling funny leadership stories, Moments in Leadership is designed to provide some relatable context to the formal leadership training leaders of all ranks and services receive throughout their military careers through the power of storytelling. Why Should You Support this project? I realize all of the leaders who listen to the episodes are at different levels of life, and my goal is to be able to have this project remain free and available to anyone who wants it and your donations help go towards that. Your donations go towards offsetting my costs of producing high-quality episodes. Additionally, since this is a part-time hobby project for me, I'm forced to outsource a good deal of work to others to maintain a regular publishing schedule. Your donations help offset these costs as well.  Check out my Supercast site and see if any level is a good fit for helping:  Connect with Us:Visit the Moments in Leadership website: Follow us on Instagram: Follow us on Twitter: Email us: themiloffice@gmail.com Other Podcasts Interviews with David B.
