In a few day's time the Bayeux Tapestry goes on show at the British Museum in London. The famous embroidery that depicts the Norman conquest of England has returned to the country where it was stitched for the first since it was made almost a thousand years ago.  It was created by defeated Anglo-Saxon women, commissioned by their Norman conquerors, and they stitched it to serve a very particular political purpose. We will never know their names but they made one of the most extraordinary works of art to survive from early medieval Europe. Down the centuries it has exerted a powerful hold over many imaginations: it was taken to Paris by Napoleon to rally his troops as he planned to invade Britain, and later eyed by Hitler for the same reason. But the Tapestry is much more than a beautiful object. It is a brilliant piece of communication and in this episode, with the help of Michael Lewis, Curator of the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum, we look at the labour behind it and the story it was designed to tell.

Der Legende nach gründet Marinus seine Republik am 3.9.301. Er vermacht sie seinen Anhängern unter einer Bedingung: Sich niemals von Kirche und Königen abhängig zu machen. Von Burkhard Hupe.

So, who were these men in redcoats - the lower ranks - that fought Britain's wars across the globe? They marched across Europe and thrashed the French, overcame huge odds in India and stood to-to-toe with the fiercest opponents on earth. But despite their courage and ability to endure any hardship - society and, sometimes, even their own officers held them in low regard - to say the least. Today we are going to examine their backgrounds, how they were recruited, their training, their love for booze and of course we will ask were they really the scum of the earth?

Who had the most lasting impact on Europe? Marx? Napoleon? Darwin? Einstein? Or was it Martin Luther?

Join me for a first-hand walkthrough of the legendary Waterloo Battlefield in Belgium, where Napoleon fought his final battle on June 18, 1815. In this immersive battlefield tour, we'll walk the very ground where French, British, Dutch-Belgian, and Prussian armies clashed in one of history's most decisive military engagements.Special guest David Buttery takes us across the key locations that shaped the outcome of the battle, including Hougoumont, La Haye Sainte, the Lion's Mound, the Allied ridge, and the village of Plancenoit. Along the way, we'll examine the terrain, discuss Napoleon's battle plan, Wellington's defensive position, and the critical arrival of Blücher's Prussian army. The modern battlefield still preserves many of the landmarks that help visitors understand how the dramatic events of June 1815 unfolded.Whether you're a fan of Napoleonic history, military history, battlefield archaeology, or historical travel, this Waterloo battlefield tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the landscape that witnessed the end of Napoleon's empire.

It is with a mixture of great embarrassment at my own over-acting and guilt at such outrageous self-indulgence that I, Alex Stevenson, presenter of the Napoleonic Quarterly, provide you, the poor suffering listeners, with an outpouring of thespian histrionics: the concluding episode of our screenplay-concocting relaunch side-project, the Napoleon Movie Quarter-Hourly. In this episode Ben Deery, who thankfully knows a thing or two about acting, works his way alongside my own miserable efforts through the most excitable scenes from the pen of James Topham, who knows a thing or two about screenwriting. Napoleon: One Last Job may never actually get made, but at least you get to hear a grown man pretend to be both Napoleon and Josephine in the same scene.Or, perhaps more wisely, there is the opportunity to listen to the whole screenplay read by a surprisingly effective AI American lady on Patreon...Please send through any comments or questions to the usual places - the hope is that we will be able to do a listener feedback episode, as well as putting this to the professors for their verdict.Help us produce more episodes by supporting the Napoleonic Quarterly on Patreon: patreon.com/napoleonicquarterly

Jeff Mains sits down with Scott Miller — a former truck driver turned top-ranked GE Capital salesperson, "Master of Sales," and founder of M2 Wealth Ventures / Mosa Bella — to unpack why most founders don't have a leads problem, they have a closing problem. Scott explains why AI and automation are making sales teams "mentally lazy," how blending old-school relationship-building (handwritten notes, phone calls, even birthday cards) with new-school tools creates outsized results, and why the real gap in most businesses isn't knowledge — it's execution. The conversation also covers building operations in Vietnam, avoiding the trap of chasing the next cheap offshore market, pricing discipline, and simple language shifts ("we/our" → "you/yours") that immediately improve close rates.Key Takeaways4:51 — Scott's journey: truck driver → GE Capital's top salesperson → four businesses post-retirement, all connected by a purpose of helping people.7:50 — The "old school vs. new school" experiment: an email list of 1,837 people outsold a creator with 20M social followers — 12 appointments, 3 sales on the spot.11:50 — Why the sales/marketing gap exists: it's a "mental laziness" problem born from separating marketing and sales functions.14:34 — How Scott uses AI in his own business (data scraping, sorting, spreadsheets) while keeping human connection central — including carrying physical business cards and writing notes on the back.19:17 — The biggest gap he sees in consulting clients: the gap between "idea and execution," illustrated with a weight-loss analogy.22:54 — The $4M-to-$10M case study: doubling average sale price from ~$3,900 to ~$9,300 by fixing the entry price point — without changing headcount.27:12 — Recognizing when the skills that got you to one level (Scott: up to ~$100M) won't get you to the next — and why staying a lifelong learner matters.29:54 — Why Scott built operations in Vietnam, the dual cash/digital economy there, and the "bananas on the corner" analogy for scaling small businesses.38:33 — Advice on picking a market to test: don't chase the next cheap offshore trend — "stay in your lane" and know your business model before expanding internationally.43:50 — The daily fix for weak closers: role-play objections every single day, and know exactly what "it's too expensive" actually means.44:43 — The Pareto Principle in sales teams: 20% of reps drive 80% of revenue — don't just cut the bottom, retrain and gamify instead.45:30 — The single language shift: replace "I/we/our" with "you/yours" in every sales conversation.46:49–48:15 — The "Stanley Cup" story: why recognition (a plaque) can motivate a sales team more than cash bonuses or luxury trips.Tweetable Quotes"If you pour more water into a leaky bucket and call it growth, that's not growth at all.""Automation can find the leads, but automation can't close it. That's still a human job.""It's knowing what to do and doing it — those are two different things.""Most business owners undervalue time. They're worth $500 or $1,000 an hour and they're doing $15, $20, $30 an hour things.""Nobody buys from a funnel. They buy from you.""Men will die for ribbons." — Napoleon, quoted by Scott on non-monetary recognition"nobody wants it, then you're gonna die an ugly death with your idea."SaaS Leadership LessonsDiagnose the real bottleneck before scaling spend. Most "leads problems" are actually closing problems — pouring more volume into a broken conversion process just masks the leak.Pair automation with irreplaceable human touch. Use AI/automation for sorting, scraping, and volume tasks, but keep relationship-building (calls, handwritten notes, real follow-up) as the human differentiator.Know your execution gap, not just your knowledge gap. Buying the course or attending the conference means nothing without a system that forces follow-through.Price and team fit for the next level, not the last one. The skills, people, and pricing that get you from $4M to $10M often break past that point — proactively evaluate whether your team can scale with you.Apply the 80/20 rule deliberately. Identify your top 20% of performers, understand what makes them different, and build training/role-play systems rather than only ever churning the bottom performers.Choose expansion markets strategically, not opportunistically. Don't chase the cheapest offshore trend of the moment — understand your business model first, then decide if/where international expansion actually fits.Guest Resourcesscott@moza-bella.comwww.moza-bella.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Scott1258/https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-miller-8a00972/https://www.instagram.com/scottmasterofsales/https://www.x.com/scott1258Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

In the early nineteenth century, the French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed the first evolutionary theory of life and, with it, a new science: biology. Yet for centuries, evolutionary theorists have endeavored to discredit Lamarck and his theory of self-transforming organisms, rejecting the idea that animals play an active role in shaping their own evolution. In his lifetime, he was mocked by his adversaries and personally insulted by Napoleon. In this virtuosic melding of biography, history, politics, and science, Jessica Riskin sets out to correct the record. Riskin tells the story of Lamarck's life and work as an intense struggle between rival forces to answer questions that remain foundational to our modern worldview: What is a living being, and what is science? New findings suggest Lamarck's basic claim was, in many ways, right, and a reconsideration of his life and work is long overdue. Denying the agency of living beings has informed two centuries of eugenic policies and environmental destruction, allowing people to regard the living world as so much raw material to shape and exploit for economic, industrial, and imperial gain. Deeply researched, strikingly original, and beautifully written, ⁠The Power of Life: The Invention of Biology and the Revolutionary Science of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck⁠ (Penguin, 2026) shines a much-needed light on an underappreciated biologist whose radical ideas offered a more inclusive, collaborative, and enlightened approach to science. ⁠Jessica Riskin⁠ is the Frances and Charles Field Professor of History at Stanford University, where she teaches modern European history and the history of science. She is the author of The Restless Clock and Science in the Age of Sensibility and is a regular contributor to a number of publications, including Aeon, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and the New York Review of Books.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Civilization VI, released in 2016, was a further evolution of the franchise that added interesting new features. We introduce it in this episode. Civilization VI Released in 2016, Civ VI is probably still the most played version of the game. Although there has been a general gap of 5-6 years between versions, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic slowed down many things. Since early 2025 we have had Civilization VII come out, but in my opinion it is still being tweaked and refined. In the meantime, Civilization VI is the game I play now when I play Civ. I've played all of them from the first, and put in many hours here. Since I now play Civ on Steam mostly, I have statistics! I played Civ V for a total of 769 hours, and so far I have played Civ VI for 689 hours, but since this is what I play for now I will probably exceed my Civ V hours pretty soon. BTW, I probably have well over 1000 hours on Civ II, which I think I have played the most, and certainly more than 3000 hours total over all all versions. I'm going to cover this without worrying too much about whether it is the base game or an expansion. Fact is, Firaxis have started moving to something more akin to a subscription model when they introduced the New Frontier Pass, which works very well when you are on Steam. The idea was that you bought this pass, and very few months got new content, and on Steam it would automatically be downloaded to your account. That is not to say that there weren't actual expansions, but since the last thing they released was this “pass”, i'm kind of wondering what they will do with Civ VII. In any case, let's take a look at this. Gameplay Again, you start with a tribe in 4000BC which founds your first city, and you immediately begin building units, exploring, researching, and developing your city. this is a time-tested mechanic that never changes. but there are some interesting changes that make this game fascinating. First, in the earlier versions of Civ you thought of yourself as playing a particular civ, which came with a particular leader. In different versions of Civ the name of the leader might change, like for France you might have Napoleon on some versions, or Joan of Arc in another, but in each case one civ gets one leader, so you tended to think of yourself as playing the nation. Rome might be Caesar in one version, Augustus in another, or Trajan in yet another. (Fun fact: Sid Meier says he always plays as Rome because it just feels right to him). In Civ VI this linkage is broken. One leader, Eleanor of Aquitaine, can be played as the Queen of England, or she can be played as the Queen of France. And each version has different abilities and strengths. If you want a fairly easy Culture victory, play her as Queen of France, and watch as other players' cities rebel and join your Empire because they admire you so much. Teddy Roosevelt also has two different manifestations, Rough Rider Teddy, and Big Stick Teddy, when you have all the expansions. China has two possible leaders, with different strengths: Qin Shi Huang, and Kublai Khan. And Kublai Khan can be either Chinese or Mongolian, with different strengths. So in Civ VI you don't think of what Civ you want to play, you think of which leader you want to play. Every leader comes with a Civilization Ability, a Unique Unit, and a Unique Infrastructure. These matter a lot. For example, take John Curtin, the leader of the Australian civilization. His Civilization Ability is called Land Down Under, and it gives him +3 Housing in coastalcities. Building a Pasture triggers a Culture Bomb, claiming surrounding tiles. Campus, Commercial Hub, Holy Site, and Theater Squaredistricts gain +1 to their yields in tiles with Charming Appeal, and +3 in tiles with Breathtaking Appeal. Then his Unique Unit is the Digger, a melee military unit that replaces the Infantry unit. And his Unique Infrastructure is tile improvement called the Outback Station. This gives you increased food, production, and housing, some of which varies according to what is on surrounding tiles. The point is that each leader gives you very specific advantages that you should play to. In Civ VI it is even more important to tailor your strategy to the particular leader. Leaders like Frederic Barbarossa or Simon Bolivar are very good for Domination, while Peter the Great and Saladin are very good for Religious victories. If you take a random leader be ready to adapt your play style and strategy to fit, or alternatively decide what kind of victory you want to achieve and pick a leader who is good at it. Or if you want a real challenge, pick a leader who is not suited to the victory condition you are aiming at. But keep in mind that the game may take you in places you didn't expect. One game I picked Wilfrid Laurier of Canada, who is ideal for Diplomatic and Cultural victories, and I thought I would be going for a Cultural victory. But Wilfrid's strengths come from his advantages on Tundra land tiles, and I somehow managed to spawn in the middle of the map with no Tundra tiles at all in my empire. I had work hard to manage a Science victory in that case. Districts This is a major change in Civ. In earlier versions you built buildings inside of cities, and you tended to build the same buildings in most or all cities. You were only limited by your ability to generate Production to get them done. Civ VI is different. You have to place Districts on specific tiles, and and you can then develop the district with added buildings. If you want to develop your industry, you can place an Industrial Zone, and then add a Workshop, then a Factory, then a Power plant, and so on, each one increasing your Production. For Science you place down a Campus District, then a Library, then a University, then a Research Lab. And the game mechanic means you cannot built everything in every city. You can place one district at the start, then one more when your city reaches a population of 4, then a third one when you reach 7, and so on with each added population of three allowing one more district. The point is to force you to make choices. Districts get adjacency bonuses which increase their output. The Campus (generates Science) and the Holy Site (generates Faith) both benefit from adjacent Mountains, and the effect is additive. So if you find a tile with three mountains around it, you will want to place one of these districts there. Districts also get adjacency bonuses from other districts, so the planning the layout of your cities is really important to maximize these bonuses. And they can get bonuses even with adjacent Districts that belong to a different city! Another key district is the Encampment, which let you build better, more veteran military units. Since building units requires Production, you should build build an Encampment in a city which has a lot of Production, and that probably means one with an Industrial Zone. A Harbor District would go in a city with coastal tiles, of course. All of this requires planning. Expert players will usually start out by exploring to see what the map looks like around them, what terrain features they have to work with, what resources are available, and so on. Then, around turn ten they will plan out their next cities, and figure out where they want to place districts and so on. There is a built-in “map pin” system for this, and it can be improved by installing the right mod. While you don't have to do this, it does help you to be successful. Maps and Terrain Terrain features matter a lot in this game. We already mentioned adjacency bonuses of Mountains for Holy Sites and Campuses, but there is much more. The map is divided into Continents, and it is quite normal for a contiguous land mass to contain two or more continents if it is large enough. Think of how Europe and Asia are really just one large land mass to see what I mean. This matters because certain units may defend differently depending on which continent they are on, or some civilizations may be affected from having cities on a different continent. Terrain features like Rivers are extremely important for the placement of cities because they provide fresh water. You can sometimes get around that by building an Aqueduct to bring water from a Lake or a Mountain, but that means using up one of your city tiles, and spending production to build it. If you can place your city on a river you can avoid that problem and get off to a fast start. But the downside is that rivers can flood, and that can wreck your improvements. A big idea for terrain is Appeal. Each tile has an Appeal level ranging from Disgusting to Breathtaking, and it is determined by a combination of the tile's features themselves and by adjacencies. The modifiers are added together to determine the Appeal level of the tile, and there is a lens you use to view your Appeal levels on all tiles, which are color coded. This matters particularly if you are trying for a Culture victory. Culture victories are own by generating Tourism, and while some that can come from things like Museums and Wonders, you will really want to maximize your Tourism to win this game, and two good ways to do that are building National Parks and Seaside Resorts. You can only do that if the appeal is at least Charming (or even better, Breathtaking). If you find you cannot build them in what seems like a good spot, chances are Appeal is the problem. So check that out. You can, for instance, remove marshes (which give negative appeal), and plant forests (which add appeal), and that might be all it takes to get these going. The underlying issue in managing your cities is that you only have so many tiles, and a tile that might be great for a farm might also be great for a District. You need food to grow, and you need to grow to put down Districts, so you are always making choices about this, and that is what makes this a great strategy game.

1810 stod Napoleon på höjden av sin makt. Trots detta möttes den franska ockupationen av hårt motstånd i Spanien och på vissa håll i Italien och Sydtyskland. Det var främst på landsbygden och bland bondebefolkningen som motståndet var störst. Man gillade inte de franska försöken att förändra samhället. Medelklassen i italienska städer var däremot mer positivt inställda till fransmännen.Sakta gick utvecklingen mot en slutlig konfrontation mellan Alexanders Ryssland och Napoleons Frankrike. År 1812 bröt en stor fransk armé in i Ryssland. Inte mindre än 400 000 man marscherade mot Moskva för att en gång för alla tvinga Ryssland till underkastelse.Detta är det andra avsnittet av två om Napoleonkrigen där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia vid Umeå universitet om Napoleonkrigen.Vid Borodino i september bjöd ryssarna hårt motstånd, men fransmännen tog slutligen Moskva. Men Napoleon kunde inte komma åt den ryska armén. Ryssarna backade undan och lät kylan och den brända jordens taktik slita ner den franska armén. Fälttåget blev en katastrof för Napoleon. I början på 1813 linkade de sista resterna av hans Grand Armée tillbaka in i Ostpreussen.Omgående samlades en ny allians mot Napoleon. En av de ledande krafterna var den före detta franske marskalken Bernadotte – sedan 1810 svensk kronprins. Tre arméer ringade in Napoleon vid Leipzig och besegrade honom i det största slaget under kriget som pågick fyra dagar i oktober 1813. Napoleon undslapp med en del av armén till Frankrike men tvingades i april 1814 abdikera och förvisade till den lilla ön Elba.De allierade inledde den stora fredskonferensen – Wienkongressen. Knappt hade gränserna reglerats och ordningen efter årtionden återställts innan budet om Napoleons återkomst nådde de församlade ledarna i Wien. Napoleon hade i mars 1815 undkommit från Elba och inledde hundra nya dagar vid makten. Den nya franska armén som i all hast stampades fram besegrades slutligen av brittiska och preussiska styrkor som i ilmarsch sattes in mot den franske kejsaren vid Waterloo den 18 juni 1815. Detta blev det definitiva slutet för Napoleon. Han fångades och sattes på ön St Helena i Atlanten.Slutligen fick Europa fred. Alla förändringar kunde inte återställas av Wienkongressen även om det fanns ett tydligt antirevolutionärt budskap i fredens slutdokument. De gamla kungadynastieran återinsattes på tronerna med ett egentligt undantag: Bernadotte fick behålla sin ställning som kronprins av Sverige. För Norden innebar Napoloenkrigens slut att embryot till fyra självständiga nationella identiteter skapades. Sverige och Danmark var stympade, men Norge hade fått en egen författning även om man befann sig i en påtvingad union med Sverige. Finland nådde en viss autonomi som storfurstendöme inom det ryska imperiet. Hundra år senare vann Norge 1905 och Finland 1917 sin självständighet, men det hade andra förklaringar.Bild: Napoleon och resterna av la grande armée på reträtt efter det ryska fälttåget.

Napoleonkrigen 1803 till 1815 tillhör de mest omvälvande skeendena i historien. Napoleons försök att skapa ett imperium ledde till ett förödande krig som berörde stora delar av världen. Sverige förlorade också Finland till Ryssland med Napoleons goda minne.Mellan 1805 och 1807 besegrade de franska arméerna allt motstånd på kontinenten. Österrikare, ryssar och preussare fick se sig besegrade. I en serie spektakulära fälttåg och slag krossade Napoleon och hans soldater allt motstånd. Det enda Napoleon misslyckades med var att besegra den brittiska flottan.Detta är första avsnittet av två om Napoleonkrigen där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia vid Umeå universitet om Napoleonkrigen.Britterna lyckades under amiralen Nelson förgöra den förenade fransk-spanska flottan vid Trafalgar 1805. Trots denna framgång var det Napoleon som dikterade villkoren på kontinenten. År 1806 infördes blockad av brittiska varor och det tysk-romerska riket upplöstes. Sommarn 1807 träffades tsar Alexander och Napoleon i den lilla ostpreussiska gränsstaden Tilsit och förhandlade fram en fred som även innebar en uppdelning av Europa i två intressesfärer.Det franska militära systemet innebar en utveckling av krigföringen. Arméerna var indelade i självständiga divisioner och kårer. På slagfältet innebar det mindre sårbarhet om en division slogs ut av fienden påverkade det mindre den övriga delen av armén. Under förflyttning marscherade kårerna enskilt och kunde spridas över ett större område vilket innebar att det var enklare att hitta förnödenheter. Dessutom marscherade de franska soldater med minimal packning och sov i bivack eller under bar himmel. Napoleon var en mästare på att koncentrera sina trupper i rätt stund och de franska soldaterna anföll i kolonn eldade av patriotism och understödda av ett kraftfullt artilleri och kavalleri.Sverige och Danmark utsattes från 1807 för ett hårt tryck. Danmark föll för de franska hoten inte minst efter det brittiska anfallet på Köpenhamn. Sverige vägrade underordna sig och fortsatte hårdnackat att understödja britterna. I februari 1808 anföll Ryssland sydöstra Finland. Kriget blev en katastrof och innebar förlusten av Finland i freden i september 1809.Spanien ockuperades av fransmännen, som trots allt inte kunde kontrollera hela den iberiska halvön. Spanska gerillakrigare gjorde hårt motstånd understödda av brittiska soldater under hertigen av Wellington.Österrikes gjorde under intryck av de franska motgångarna i Spanien ett nytt försök att gå i krig med Napoleons Frankrike In ledningsvis vann de österrikiska arméerna vissa framgångar, men slutligen besegrades österrikarna återigen och tvingades acceptera en ännu hårdare freden än 1805.Bild: Slaget vid Austerlitz den 2 december 1805 av François Gérard digital version producerad av Réunion des Musées Nationaux Photographic Agency, Wikipedia, Public Domain.

"Those of good fellowship" [VALL]    We return to Baltimore and the rich history of one of America's oldest Sherlock Holmes societies, the Six Napoleons of Baltimore. Greg Ruby and Mike McSwiggin join us to talk about the group's origins and its upcoming 80th anniversary.    We hear about their first encounters with Sherlock Holmes and then travel back to 1946, when six Baltimore Sherlockians gathered for dinner and founded what would become the Six Napoleons. We also discuss the wonderfully complicated story behind its name, which connects a local Baltimore woman to Napoleon's family and, of course, to a famous Holmes adventure.   Today, the group continues its traditions of scholarship, trivia, and, above all, fun. We talk about their memorable "inquisition" used to induct new members, its twice-yearly meetings, and its 80th anniversary celebration this September, which features our own Scott Monty as guest speaker.    We also discuss Greg Ruby's Sherlockians of Baltimore (SOBs), a newer organization that meets quarterly, on Saturdays. It's a conversation about 80 years of Sherlockian friendship—and a reminder that the game is still very much afoot in Baltimore.   Our "Learned Societies" segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities coming up in the first half of October. Then, it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, as he begins a review of the BBC's Sherlock series. Finally, the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of something from the IHOSE vaults for the winner.

What if the only thing separating you from extraordinary wealth isn't intelligence, talent, or credentials — but a simple lack of resistance?In this episode, Jess explores consciousness as the true container for receiving: why wealth flows to people who seem to have "nothing special going on," why beginner's luck works, and what happens the moment an expert tells you what's possible for you.Jess shares the pattern that has run through her whole life — told a sub-3-hour first marathon wasn't possible, told not to bother auditioning for the world's best ballet schools, told she'd need three years before commanding a top salary — and doing it anyway, every time. The difference wasn't willpower. It was refusing to be a character in someone else's story.From there, the episode moves into territory almost no one in the spiritual business space is talking about: the exit. Not bumping your income by a few thousand — building a business as an asset that could one day sell for £10, £20, £50 million. Simply letting that idea enter your consciousness puts you in the 1% — and the moment you hear yourself say "that's not for me" is exactly the moment you have something to work with.The heart of the episode is the inner masculine — the animus — approached through the letters between Napoleon and Josephine. What does it mean to have an inner masculine so in love with your inner feminine that he builds empires to impress her? Why does an unactivated animus leave the feminine in survival mode, earning on her own energy until burnout? And why does activating him make you more feminine, not less?In this episode:Consciousness as the absence of resistance, and beginner's luck decodedWhy the "experts" only know the story of their bookStarting at the pinnacle: designing your business backwards from the exitWhy a membership is a sellable assetThe "toxic hustle" as the absence of the masculine, not too much of himThe cosplay feminine vs. the woman whose inner masculine leadsThe alchemical marriage as a bridge to source — and synchronicity that does the heavy liftingPower vs. force: higher consciousness, less willpowerThe morphic field and the intelligence held in "empty" spaceThe exit exercise: what's your number, and what lights up in your body when you play with it?Consciousness bubbles: the exit bubble holds every resource you need; the nine-to-five bubble holds noneEase as evidence of value: what's effortless for you is extraordinary to someone elseCutting comments from those closest to you — and the inner masculine as the boundaryMentioned: Jung on the animus; the letters of Napoleon and Josephine; Joe Dispenza; David Hawkins, Power vs. Force; Rupert Sheldrake on morphic fields; To Be Magnetic.--------------------------------------------Work with JessIf this episode landed, this is the work of The Vessel — Jess's year-long programme for building a membership as a true asset: recurring income now, and something genuinely valuable in years to come.Explore The Vessel: https://spiritualised-the-vessel.netlify.app/Connect with Jess

More than 200 years after his fall at Waterloo, Napoleon continues to shape the modern world. His influence extends far beyond the battlefields of Europe, leaving a legacy that can still be seen in today's military organizations, legal systems, governments, and leadership doctrines.In this episode, special guest Robert C. Greenway will explore how Napoleon revolutionized warfare through the corps system, rapid maneuver warfare, mass conscription, and centralized command structures. Many of the organizational principles adopted by modern armies can trace their origins directly to the Napoleonic era.We also examine Napoleon's impact on government and civil administration. The Napoleonic Code became one of the most influential legal frameworks in history, shaping laws across Europe, Latin America, and beyond. His reforms in education, banking, merit-based promotion, and state bureaucracy helped create the foundations of the modern nation-state.From West Point to military academies around the world, Napoleon's campaigns remain essential studies in strategy, logistics, leadership, and operational art. Generals from U. S. Grant and von Moltke to Dwight D. Eisenhower have studied his methods to better understand the principles of war.Join us as we examine how a single individual transformed warfare, government, and leadership—and why Napoleon's influence remains visible in the armed forces and institutions of the 21st century.Topics Covered:Napoleon's military innovationsThe Corps System and operational warfareMass conscription and citizen armiesThe Napoleonic CodeMeritocracy and military promotionModern military doctrineLeadership lessons from NapoleonState bureaucracy and government reformThe rise of the modern nation-stateCoalition warfareX/Twitter: @andnapoleon#Napoleon #NapoleonBonaparte #MilitaryHistory #Leadership #Strategy #NapoleonicWars #HistoryPodcast #FrenchHistory #Warfare #GreatGenerals

Marek Baterowicz w książce pt "Wojna 1812 Quasi una fantasia" pisze o innym wariancie wojny z 1812. Co by było, gdyby Napoleon, zamiast iść na Moskwę, pomaszerował na Petersburg? Autor analizuje w powieści inny wariant wojny, co wpisuje się w modną od lat „historię alternatywną”, uprawianą przez wielu autorów.Posłuchaj całej godzinnej audycji radiowej tutaj...Słuchaj audycji po polsku radia SBS Polish na żywo w poniedziałki, środy, czwartki, piątki i niedziele o godz. 14.00 (czasu wschodnioaustralijskiego) na paśmie SBS Radio 1.

Na zámku Slavkov-Austerlitz, který je jedním z nejmohutnějších barokních zámků na Moravě, se psaly dějiny Evropy. Byl rezidencí významného rodu pánů z Kounic a v jeho blízkosti se roku 1805 odehrála slavná bitva tří císařů. Zámek vyniká nejen architekturou budov, ale také parkem s kašnami a sochami, který patří k nejvýznamnějším historickým zahradám na Moravě.

For most of history, the name Napoleon has been associated with conquest, ambition, and empire.  But decades after the first emperor's fall, his nephew of the same name rose to power and attempted to reshape France and the world.  His reign was marked by grand projects, dramatic victories, and a catastrophic downfall that brought an empire to an end.  Learn more about The Rise and Fall of Napoleon III on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World, Part One: Moss discusses how birds shaped human history, starting with the Wild Turkey, which nearly became America's national bird and was essential to pilgrim survival. The naming of the Turkey stems from 16th-century confusion regarding Turkish merchants and African Guinea Fowl. Moss contrasts the Turkey with the Bald Eagle, a symbol of predatory power adopted from Roman traditions and later by Napoleon and the Nazis. The segment explores the Pigeon, the "great communicator" crucial for military messaging during D-Day and World War I, including the heroic pigeon Cher Ami. A significant portion debunks the myth of Darwin's Finches, noting that Charles Darwin initially misidentified them and failed to label their specific islands. The discussion touches on the intelligence and convergent evolution of Australian species like the Magpie and Willie Wagtail. Finally, the Dodo is introduced as the "icon of extinction." This flightless bird's demise on Mauritius, caused by human-introduced predators like monkeys and rats, forced humanity to confront the reality that species could vanish forever. Moss notes that while the Dodo is gone, its story inspired modern conservation efforts to save birds like the Pink Pigeon and Mauritius Kestrel. (1)

Every schoolchild in the English-speaking world learns William the Conqueror's name. What most of them never hear is that William spent his final years bitter about another Norman knight — a man his own contemporaries considered the more accomplished conqueror of their generation.His name was Robert Guiscard. He was born to a minor noble family in Normandy with too many sons and too little land. He arrived in Southern Italy as a bandit stealing horses in Calabria. Twenty years later he was Duke of Apulia, had defeated the Byzantine Emperor in battle, and was planning to march on Constantinople itself. When William landed at Hastings in 1066, Guiscard had already been ruling more Italian territory for seven years than William would ever hold in England.And Guiscard wasn't alone. He was one of twelve brothers. Between them, the sons of a minor Norman lord named Tancred de Hauteville built the Kingdom of Sicily — a multicultural state employing Muslim scholars, Byzantine bureaucrats, and Latin monks in the same government. From Robert Guiscard's ducal title in 1059 to Napoleon's dissolution of the kingdom in 1816, that political architecture ran for 725 years.Today I'm joined by Memory Medieval to walk through the Norman conquest history didn't teach you.Follow Memory Medieval on X: @MemoryMedieval Substack: memorymedieval.substack.com Feigned Flight publication: feignedflight.com════════════════════════════

Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan of the New York Times join Donny to discuss their bestselling book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. They reveal how they landed remarkable access to sources still serving inside the administration, and walk through two of the book's most stunning scenes: the bizarre Oval Office moment when Trump had an aide read out a list ranking him among history's most powerful figures (alongside Napoleon, Hitler, and Genghis Khan), and the extraordinary Situation Room meeting where Netanyahu personally pitched Trump on an Iran regime-change operation — only for the CIA director to call the plan "farcical" the next day. They dig into how a gut-driven decision led to the U.S. bombing Iran, why Trump's inner circle now trusts his instincts over expert warnings, the administration's evolving stance on AI regulation, and rapid-fire one-line verdicts on JD Vance, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, Susie Wiles, Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller.
