In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the US and Iran formally sign an interim agreement aimed at ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The deal includes sanctions relief, a $300 billion reconstruction fund and a commitment by Tehran not to pursue nuclear weapons, while negotiations on a broader settlement continue. We also look at Lebanon as US President Donald Trump says the conflict still needs to be addressed, and French President Emmanuel Macron calls for an immediate ceasefire, while Israel continues to reject calls to withdraw as fighting carries on. Iran has also announced plans for the funeral of former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with nationwide ceremonies beginning in early July and a final burial in Mashhad after a planned stop in Iraq. In the UAE, business leaders tell The National they remain confident the country will emerge stronger from the economic disruption caused by the Iran war, drawing comparisons with previous recoveries from major global crises. And Abu Dhabi marks a medical milestone as Burjeel Cancer Institute becomes the first centre in the world to administer Camizestrant, a new precision treatment for advanced breast cancer. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

What if the key to navigating uncertainty wasn't a better plan - but a better experiment? In this episode, Sarah borrows brilliance from Anne-Laure Le Cunff, author of Tiny Experiments. Together they explore what it means to have an experimental mindset, how to design a tiny experiment using the PACT framework, and why the only experiments that fail are the ones you don't learn from. If you've ever felt stuck waiting for the perfect plan, this episode will give you possibilities you'll be energised by.

On episode 751 of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, Coach Allan sits down to discuss restarting a health and fitness regimen with Steve Kamb, the founder of Nerd Fitness. The conversation focused on how to create lasting change in health and fitness, especially for individuals over 40 facing the unpredictable realities of life. One concept discussed was the "back to normal fallacy"—the tendency to believe that perfect circumstances are just around the corner and that change will be easier then. A key theme that emerged was embracing failure as a normal, even necessary, part of progress, and recognizing that setbacks offer valuable lessons rather than defining personal worth. The discussion explored the PACT framework (Pause, Accept, Change, Try), offering a practical system for navigating obstacles and trying again with self-compassion and flexibility. Several points were raised, including the importance of setting realistic expectations, using strategies like "strategic half-assing" for sustainable progress, and learning to accept imperfections as part of a meaningful, successful journey.

What do you do when you did everything right… and life blows up the plan anyway? This week, Wendy sits down with her friend Steve Kamb, founder of Nerd Fitness and author of the brand-new book How to Try Again — for a funny, tender, deeply human conversation about failing, flailing, and finding your way back. While writing a book about navigating failure, Steve got hit with three life-altering blows at once: a skin cancer diagnosis, the collapse of his business's traffic, and a heartbreaking divorce. What he learned became the heart of this episode — that failure is the first step, not the last; that there's no “hierarchy of suck”; and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is tread water instead of pushing harder. Steve walks us through his four-part PACT — Pause, Accept, Change, Try — and why you should give yourself permission to start ugly. If you're in a hard season, consider this your permission slip to breathe.

In this conversation, I sit down with Steve Kamb to explore what it really means to keep moving forward when things don't go according to plan. We talk about why success in business development, leadership, fitness, and creative work often has less to do with having the perfect strategy and more to do with developing the ability to adjust, learn, and make another attempt. Steve shares lessons from stand-up comedy, golf, entrepreneurship, and his own experiences building businesses and writing his latest book, How to Try Again, offering a practical framework for navigating setbacks without getting stuck in them. A major theme throughout our conversation is the tension between outcome-focused thinking and process-focused action. We discuss Steve's PACT framework, the role of self-compassion after disappointment, why experimentation lowers the stakes of trying something new, and how high performers recover from setbacks more quickly by learning rather than dwelling. Whether you're pursuing new clients, launching a project, building relationships, or simply trying to make progress in an uncertain situation, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective on resilience, adaptation, and the long game of meaningful growth.   Topics We Cover in This Episode:  Why comedians, entrepreneurs, and business developers all rely on repetition more than perfection How the concept of "pre-accepting any outcome" can reduce anxiety and improve performance The difference between persistence and continuing to push in the wrong direction What Steve's PACT framework teaches about responding to setbacks constructively Why treating challenges as experiments can make change feel more approachable How curiosity can be more useful than self-criticism when evaluating past failures What separates people who recover quickly from disappointment from those who stay stuck Why genuine generosity and relationship-building often outperform transactional networking approaches If you've ever found yourself wondering what to do after a missed opportunity, a failed initiative, or a result that didn't match your expectations, I think you'll find this conversation both practical and encouraging.

This episode is brought to you by Your Clockwise Week—a personalized weekly structure built around your actual life, not an ideal one. If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.There's a loop most of us know well, even if we've never named it: feel behind, find the thing that's going to fix everything, go all in for a few weeks, get derailed by life, and start over — carrying a little more shame each time. It doesn't matter whether we're talking about fitness, productivity, or building a business. The pattern is the same, and so is the trap. We keep waiting for things to get back to normal so we can try again properly. But what if that version of normal isn't coming back?Steve Kamb is the founder of Nerd Fitness, which has grown over 17 years into a platform that has coached more than 20,000 people one-on-one. His new book, How to Try Again, grew out of that work — specifically from the most universal problem he kept encountering across thousands of conversations: the all-or-nothing mindset. Steve built a four-part framework called PACT — Pause, Accept, Change, Try — to help people break the doom loop and stop waiting for ideal conditions that never arrive.Six Discussion PointsThe pause is the hardest part of PACT not because it requires effort, but because it requires restraint — and our productivity culture has no patience for it. Slowing down feels like falling behind, when it's often the only way to figure out if you're even moving in the right direction."Normal" is not a destination you return to — it's whatever your actual days look like right now, including the chaos, the interruptions, and the laundry on the floor. Waiting for a predictable routine to materialize before you start is a way of never starting.Before you commit to a goal, ask the question most people skip: What if this works? If success means you have to keep doing the thing you hate, you've picked the wrong goal. The reward for getting good at Instagram is that you have to keep doing Instagram.Treating your next attempt like a non-judgmental experiment — part scientist, part detective — removes the weight of outcome and replaces it with curiosity. You're not measuring whether you become the person you admired; you're measuring what you learned about yourself.The doom loop compounds. Every incomplete attempt doesn't just reset the clock; it adds guilt and shame to the pile you're already carrying. Recognizing the loop is the first step to using one of the escape pods Steve calls "half-assing it" — doing the most of the thing you can do today, rather than the ideal version of it.Steve effectively fired himself as CEO of his own company to get back to the work he actually loved — writing. The book that resulted is his most personal project, and it came from applying PACT to his own life: pausing, accepting who he really is, changing his role, and trying again on his own terms.Three Connection PointsHow to Try Again by Steve Kamb — howtotryagain.comNerd Fitness — Steve's 17-year-old community and platform: nerdfitness.comStop Managing Your Time, Start Crafting It — My piece on the TimeCrafting approach, which shares a lot of philosophical ground with Steve's ideas about working within your actual constraints rather than imagined ones: Read it on MediumThe conversation Steve and I had goes back sixteen years, and there's something fitting about the fact that both of us have spent that time learning — the hard way, repeatedly — that the frameworks and tools only work when they're built around the life you're actually living. PACT isn't a productivity system. It's permission to be human and then do something about it. If you've been waiting for the right moment to try again, this might be the episode that helps you stop waiting.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness. You can follow along as it takes shape at mikevardy.com/productiveness.

Tony Connelly, Europe Editor, discusses the EU Migration Pact which comes into effect today.

Reports of an imminent US-Iran peace deal in Geneva have been met with a flat denial from Tehran, even as sources outline a draft agreement to lift oil sanctions and halt hostilities. Meanwhile, Israel maintains its hardline stance against Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The Clare Immigrant Support Network is raising concerns the new EU Migration Pact will lead to hasty and unfair decisions against international protection applicants. The EU wide agreement comes into effect from today and will aim to expedite asylum claim processing times across the bloc, meaning decisions have to be made between 3 and six months depending on the circumstances of the case. There are currently over 33,500 pending asylum applications awaiting decision in Ireland. Clare Immigrant Support Network Co-Ordinator Simon Ó'Treasaigh has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan the system needs to be properly resourced for the changes.

Niall Collins, Fianna Fail TD for Limerick and Peadar Tóibín, Aontú leader

The long-awaited and much-debated EU Migration and Asylum Pact is at last coming into effect today. But what exactly are we in store for as a result of this? And did Ireland make the right move by opting in? To debate this further was Barry Andrews Fianna Fail MEP for Dublin and Michael McNamara Independent MEP for Ireland South.

The EU Migration Pact comes into force today, two years after it was adopted by member states and the European Parliament. The pact has received much criticism from refugee organisations, who said its legal safeguards for those seeking protection are not sufficient.Joining Shane to discuss this is Nick Henderson, CEO of The Irish Refugee Council.

5,700 miles and an entire ocean separate Helena High School from its “sister school” in southern Japan. But, the two became a little closer in a special ceremony this June.

Every now and then, I like to hop into the wayback machine and share a fresh listen to conversations that influenced our current times. The one you are going to register to today was recorded live in 2014 from DIEM, Design Intersects Everything Made symposium presented by the West Hollywood Design District featuring Frances Anderton, then with KCRW ad Jeff Denby, co-founder and then with Pact. A clothing brand you will be hearing more about.  The following conversation was focused on values based capitalism, an economic model with which places value on profit generation that also generates positive social impact. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Shelter Republic – Request your membership invitation As you listen to this chat between Frances and Jeff, you might notice the “feel-good” vibes and high ideals that come from a focus on values based consumerism patterns. Buy well-made products that come from sustainably based materials and made by people who are valued to those producing the products and then by those who buy the product. At the time of this recording, this idea was catching on and even now, companies that have a value-system connected directly to products speak openly about the social capital being generated. I would argue we hear far less now because sustainability has been linked politically to DEI, and there is a group of people who see that has more of a social ill, than a societal benefit. I'm not here to change any minds, only share different perspectives. And this is one worth sharing with the hope that it will make a return, not just in fashion or consumer packaged goods, but in the home decor and architectural materials sectors. Consumer Awareness Evolution How Whole Foods and the food industry educated consumers about product origins. Extension of that curiosity to body care and apparel: understanding what goes on the skin and into daily wear. The role of design in making sustainable products attractive and desirable. Philanthropy and Social Impact Early collaborations with nonprofits through limited-edition collections and direct aid. Shift toward improving the lives of workers within the supply chain. Emphasis on economic, environmental, and social impact as part of the business model. Challenges of Domestic Manufacturing Difficulties of reviving large-scale apparel production domestically, including labor costs, fractured supply chains, and compliance issues. Comparison with global supply chains and the decision to work where systems already exist. Insights from attempts at localized production and the challenges of sustainable sourcing. Product Expansion and Market Strategy Focus on apparel basics for the emerging generation of socially conscious consumers. Building a generational brand by appealing to evolving values. Commitment to price accessibility while maintaining sustainability and ethical production. Supply Chain Ethics and Certification Working exclusively with certified factories and farms to ensure fair labor practices. Ensuring worker protections and representation, including female supervisors. Direct engagement with farmers and supply chain partners to secure market access and stability. Sustainability and Waste Management Recycling factory scraps and leftover materials into new products. Finding secondary uses for garment remnants, including mattress filling. Factories incentivized to reduce waste as part of both economic and environmental sustainability. Consumer Education and Transparency Educating customers about the human and environmental story behind clothing. Leveraging social media, coalition branding, and events to communicate supply chain practices. Positioning Pact as a non-toxic apparel brand with safe-for-skin products. Research and Industry Collaboration Participation in textile and sustainability coalitions with like-minded brands. Supporting the growth of organic cotton farming and sustainable supply chains. Promoting transparency in manufacturing practices and educating the public on chemical exposure in conventional apparel. Ethical apparel requires intentional design, transparent supply chains, and collaboration across the industry. Consumers increasingly demand products that are safe, well-designed, and socially responsible. Philanthropy is most effective when integrated into the core business, benefiting both workers and communities. Scaling sustainability in mass-market apparel is challenging but possible with careful planning, partnerships, and public education. Conscious Basics: How Textiles Can Be Ethical, Sustainable, and Stylish In an era when consumers increasingly demand transparency and ethical responsibility, Pact is reshaping the apparel industry by marrying sustainability, social impact, and thoughtful design. Co-founder Jeff Denby spoke with Frances Anderton in 2014 about the philosophy behind the brand, tracing a journey from organic cotton farms in India to certified factories in Turkey, all with the goal of delivering high-quality, accessible clothing that respects both people and the planet. Denby notes that consumer awareness has evolved in stages. Shoppers first became curious about food origins, learning that groceries come from farms, not just shelves. This consciousness extended to body care products, as people began asking what they were putting on their skin. Apparel is the next frontier. “People want to know what they're wearing every day,” Denby explains. “They want products that are beautifully designed, sustainable, and safe, without having to reinvent what underwear or socks should look like.” Early in Pact's history, the company experimented with philanthropic partnerships, designing collections that supported nonprofit causes. These initiatives provided aid to communities abroad, from distributing lanterns in Haiti to rebuilding community centers in Japan. However, Denby realized the brand could make a deeper impact by focusing inward—supporting the lives of the workers who create the products. By investing in stable, ethical supply chains, Pact achieves a triple bottom line: economic, social, and environmental benefits. Reviving large-scale apparel manufacturing in the United States proved impractical for Pact. Labor costs, fractured supply chains, and limited domestic processing infrastructure made it impossible to produce affordable basics at scale. Instead, the brand partnered with existing factories abroad, ensuring they meet strict certifications such as the Global Organic Textile Standard. Denby emphasizes that these certifications guarantee fair labor practices, gender equity, and safe working conditions—factors often overlooked in conventional apparel production. Beyond ethical sourcing, Pact prioritizes product safety and environmental responsibility. Cotton cultivation and traditional textile processing can involve significant pesticide use and harmful chemicals. Pact works with organic cotton farmers and certified dye houses, eliminating heavy metals and carcinogens from their products. Waste management is also integral; leftover yarn and fabrics are recycled into new garments or repurposed for other industries, demonstrating that sustainability extends from field to factory to finished product. Denby envisions Pact as the “basics brand for the change generation,” appealing to consumers who value ethics, transparency, and design. The brand is part of a coalition with other sustainable apparel companies, collaborating to secure fair market access for farmers, grow organic cotton production, and educate the public on the human stories behind clothing. Social media and events provide direct channels to communicate these values, allowing consumers to engage with the brand and understand the people and processes behind the garments they wear. For Pact, the mission goes beyond selling clothing. It is about proving that everyday apparel can be ethical, well-designed, and accessible, while creating meaningful social impact. By integrating philanthropy, sustainability, and consumer education into the business model, Pact is showing that the basics—underwear, socks, and t-shirts—can carry a powerful message: that fashion can be responsible, thoughtful, and inclusive.

The EU Migration and Asylum Pact continues to generate significant political debate, with supporters arguing it will bring greater order and efficiency to the management of migration across Europe, while critics have raised concerns about issues including sovereignty, deportation procedures and the proposed use of return hubs in third countries. As Ireland moves to implement the pact, questions remain about its impact on the asylum system and what it will mean in practice. Alan Morrissey spoke to Shannon Sinn Fein TD Donna McGettigan and Fine Fáil TD Timmy Dooley to get their opinions on the issue. Image (c) European Union

This week polls showed, for the first time, One Nation ahead of the major parties and Pauline Hanson as preferred prime minister in second place ahead of Angus Taylor. Today we're talking about her strategy, her chances in the lower house and any parallels with the United States. Is it time to take Hanson seriously?
