What separates the man who drifts through life from the man who sharpens himself into something precise - something intentional, something powerful?In this episode, Kevin breaks from the usual updates and speaks directly to the man who knows he's meant for more. Not more success, not more achievement - but more truth. This is a call to the seeker. A call to the man who feels the quiet misalignment beneath the surface of his life and is ready to confront it.At the center of this conversation is a concept most men believe they already have - but don't: brotherhood.Not friendship. Not networking. Not surface-level accountability. Kevin introduces something far deeper - a satsang: a council of men committed not to validating each other's stories, but to dissolving them. A space where ego is not protected, but revealed. Where blind spots are no longer hidden, but reflected back with precision, compassion, and truth.Because alone, a man will always protect his patterns. He will justify his limitations. He will build a life that makes sense - but doesn't feel right.Inside the right brotherhood, that changes.This episode explores the foundation of that transformation: simplicity, clarity, and peace. Not as abstract ideas, but as both the cause and the result of aligned living. Kevin explains how complexity is not a sign of advancement, but misalignment - and how true clarity doesn't come from outside information, but from removing internal distortion. What remains is a grounded certainty. A self-trust that doesn't depend on circumstance.From there, he introduces the three primary paths every man will walk on the journey toward truth:The Path of Action (Red Team): Discipline, structure, execution. Mastery through doing. A life of precision in movement, habit, and responsibility - until action is no longer driven by identity, but presence.The Path of Devotion (Gold Team): Surrender, trust, and unconditional love. The dissolution of ego through commitment to something greater than oneself. Not emotional comfort - but transformational devotion.The Path of Knowing (Black Team): Deep inquiry and self-realization. The relentless questioning of belief, identity, and perception. A direct path to truth through awareness and observation.These are not roles to perform - but ways of being that unfold over time. And ultimately, every man will move through all three.But this is not just philosophy.Kevin lays out the lived experience of this brotherhood: weekly councils, real-time reflection, accountability, silent retreats, physical challenges, service projects, and immersive gatherings. This is a container where men are seen fully, held to their word, and invited into something far beyond self-improvement - true alignment.The structure is simple: acceptance, accountability, and action.You are accepted immediately. You are held accountable to truth. And from that space, you act - not from force, but from clarity.This episode is an invitation.If it resonates, you'll feel it immediately. If it doesn't, that's okay.But if you've been walking alone - if you've built a life that works but doesn't feel aligned - then this may be the moment you step onto a different path.Because you were never meant to do this alone.

What if the most powerful thing you could do in the middle of conflict is simply be at peace? Graham Cooke closes out this opening session with a vision of the overcoming life that most of us haven't considered — that rest, joy, and astonishment at who God is are more powerful than any exercise of authority. The Prince of Peace walked in one day and never left. What changes when we live from that reality?Key Scriptures:+ Matthew 16:18. "On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."+ Matthew 16:19. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven."+ Philippians 4:7. "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."+ Romans 8:37. "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."As always, thanks for listening! ❤️--Want to explore more?

//The Wire//2300Z April 29, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CONFLICT INTENSIFIES IN MALI. STABBING ATTACK STRIKES LONDON. UNITED ARAB EMIRATES DECIDE TO LEAVE OPEC.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: Yesterday the United Arab Emirates announced their intention to withdraw from OPEC, the organization of Oil Producing and Exporting Countries which are responsible for the coordination of oil production throughout the region.Analyst Comment: This is an important development that might be an early indicator of much more serious changes within the petroleum sector. Most of the major oil refineries in the UAE getting smoked by the Iranians was probably the driving factor behind this decision, or rather the last straw for the Emirates, who has been increasingly annoyed with OPEC's quota system over the years. However, since many other nations also saw catastrophic damage to their main source of national income, it is possible that a free-for-all situation might develop over time, whereby OPEC's stability is called into question. In short, the already volatile oil market is likely to stay insane for quite a while.Africa: The situation remains tense in Mali, as multiple different conflicts begin to come to a head. A few days ago, several separate attacks throughout the nation morphed into becoming a larger-scale uprising. Two groups, JNIM and the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) coordinated to launch major attacks throughout the country, mostly focusing on the capital of Bamako, as well as major military bases in Kati and other major cities. During the attacks, Mali's Defense Minister was killed during an alleged Vehicle-Borne IED attack on his home. Due to the deteriorating security situation, most European nations and the U.S. have recommended either leaving the country as soon as possible or sheltering in place if it's too late to leave.United Kingdom: Two incidents have taken place in Golders Green over the past 24 hours. Yesterday a suspected arson incident was reported at a memorial wall set up for Iranians killed during the war. Separately, a stabbing attack was reported this morning in the same area, which involved a man approaching a bus stop and stabbing people on the street. The man was detained by a Shomrim foot patrol in the area, and a total of two people were wounded during this attack. Hours after the incident, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI) claimed credit for the attack.Separately, a large-scale police raid was conducted at Webb House in Crewe. This former orphanage had been turned into a migrant hotel, before eventually serving as the headquarters for a new religion, the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. Over 500 police officers raided the compound this morning, in conjunction with investigations which indicated that this facility was serving as a large-scale human trafficking center, as well as clearing house for slaves, who were reportedly being bought and sold at the facility.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The source material for what's going on in Mali is nearly entirely Russian, as this is Russia's expeditionary fight to protect their interests in the region. However, quite significant events are underway in the Sahel, and the fighting has been widespread over the past few days. For context, after the French and Americans began leaving Mali (or reducing their roles) Russia and China stepped in to control the power vacuum. Nevertheless, the security situation deteriorated anyway, and now al-Qaeda is roaring back to power via splinter groups which have attracted tens of thousands of fighters. The Russian Africa Corp is saying that 12,000 fighters took part in the various attacks throughout the country, but this figure cannot be verified for obvious reasons. Either way, the situation is very hot throughout Mali, and the conflict is likely to intensify if one side gets the upp

This guided meditation offers a pathway to quieting our mind and calming anxiety. We begin with long deep breathing, and with the breath, engage the image of a smile and relax through the body. Then we practice resting in relaxed awareness, allowing waves of thoughts, feelings and sensations to come and go. The meditation ends with a beautiful verse from poet Philip Booth.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

Have you ever had a conversation with a loved one go in a completely different direction than what you saw coming? Your intention was there, but the way your loved one received it was nothing in the way you intended it?  Our good friend, Jason VanRuler, started to see this pattern in many of the people he had come into therapy. Conversations between people -- where everything was at stake -- and the intentions were there, but someone inevitably walked away feeling hurt, unseen, or even abandoning the relationship altogether. What one person meant isn't what the other person heard. So Jason asked himself, “Why does it sometimes land well, and other times not?”The more research he did, the more he learned predictable patterns that led to 5 primary communication types: Peace, Advocate, Thinking, Harbor, and Spark. Each one with a strength and each one with an opportunity. Not only that, each person has their own primary and secondary type. In this episode, Jason unveils each type, how we develop our own, and how we can better understand how our spouse, kids, and loved ones communicate with us. We get into marital dynamics and why we usually marry someone with similar secondary type, but the trouble that can arise when we realize we don't have the same primary one. We also talk about how knowing the types can help us communicate at a deeper level with our kids. Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:18 Jason VanRuler joins the show!4:34 Why these communication types matters 6:00 Jason introduces the 5 PATHS of communication11:16 Where our personal communication style comes from 14:05 Strengths and weaknesses of each communication type 20:20 The communication types in our children and how we give what we didn't get25:05 How different communication types serve us in marriage Show Notes: Get Jason's new book Discovering Your Communication Type: The 5 Paths to Deeper Connections and Stronger Relationships: https://amzn.to/4sZzbwc Check out Jason's website: www.jasonvr.comReserve your seat for Tender & Fierce Fall Cohort beginning August 17, 2026: https://www.famousathome.com/offers/V75F6bY2Looking for a marriage intensive with Famous at Home?

Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff were supposed to fly to Islamabad, Pakistan, this week to negotiate an end to the Iran war. Yet once again, the Trump administration couldn't follow through on its promises. But let's back up. Why is Ivanka Trump's husband involved in these talks in the first place? To find out, we spoke with Judd Legum. He's the author of Popular Information, an independent newsletter dedicated to accountability journalism.And in headlines, the man accused of attempting to assassinate Trump is charged, Republicans continue to push for Trump's $400 million ballroom, and King Charles flies to D.C. for a tea and beehive tour.Show Notes: Check out Judd's newsletter – https://popular.info/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Have you ever felt like you were doing all the right things, checking all the boxes, growing the business, building the brand, showing up every day, and still felt like something was just off? Like there was this low hum of chaos underneath everything no matter how hard you worked? Yeah, me too. And that is exactly where this conversation starts. In this episode, I sat down with one of my favorite humans on the planet, the one and only Rich Christiansen. Rich is a globally recognized thought leader, educator, mentor, and parallel entrepreneur who has co-founded 51 businesses, 16 of which have become multi-million dollar successes, most of them built with $10,000 or less in starting capital. He has done business in over 14 countries, written multiple bestselling books, and created programs like Legato Family that have genuinely changed the trajectory of my own family's life. He is also a husband, father of five sons, a man of deep faith, and someone who walks his talk every single day. Rich has spent decades helping legacy families and high-performing entrepreneurs get out of chaos by getting clear on what they actually stand for, and that is exactly what we get into today. This episode is centered around Rich's values workbook, a practical, deeply personal framework he has been privately using in two-day intensive mentoring sessions for 15 years with some of the most successful people in the world. Now he is making it accessible to everyone, and I cannot think of a more important conversation to have right now. Because here is the truth: most of us think we know our values, but we actually do not. We have borrowed them from our business, our sports team, or our parents, and we have never stopped to do the real work of figuring out what we actually stand for. That gap is costing us peace, costing us relationships, and costing us way more than we realize. Here are the key takeaways from this episode that I think every Happy Hustler needs to sit with: The first is that identifying your real values is the foundation of everything. Rich walks through all eight components of his values workbook in this episode, and it starts with uncovering your true core values, not the ones you borrowed from somewhere else, but the ones that are genuinely yours. He uses seven generation thinking, looking back at the wisdom of your ancestors and forward to what you want to leave for your great-grandchildren, to help you find what you actually stand for. Most people skip this step entirely and wonder why they feel so scattered. The second is that your trash can values matter just as much as your core ones. Rich opens up about his own journey of identifying and eliminating guilt, shame, and scarcity from his life, values he inherited but never chose. He shares a beautiful story about his 240-pound son grabbing him by the shoulders during a game of pool after Rich muttered something self-critical, and reminding him that those are not the values they agreed to live by. That story hit me hard, and I think it will hit you too. The third is that you have to emotionalize your values or they will never stick. Rich talks about naming your values in a way that fires something up inside you. Not boring corporate words like integrity or hard work, but names like hope gripper, or work win waddle, names that carry meaning and create an inside language between the people in your world. This is how culture gets built in a family or a business, through that inside emotional connection. The fourth is that your values become the mediator in every hard conversation. Instead of pointing the finger at another person when conflict shows up, you point to the shared value and have the conversation from there. Rich calls this the ligament in the relationship, and once you hear him explain it, you will never want to have a hard conversation any other way again. The fifth is one that shook me: most of us are giving 60 to 80 percent of our best energy to the outermost circle of our lives, the contacts, the followers, the people scrolling past our posts, and only 5 to 10 percent to the blood brothers and sisters who would actually show up for us at 2 in the morning. Rich challenges you to flip that, to protect your inner circle like it is sacred, because it is. I want to leave you with something Rich said near the end of this conversation that I have not been able to stop thinking about. He talked about a billionaire who sat across from him and wept, not because of money problems or business failures, but because he had 10,000 people he could call and not one who loved his soul enough to give him a kidney without expecting something in return. That is the kind of wake-up call this episode delivers. If you have been running hard, building fast, and feeling a little hollow underneath it all, this is the episode for you. Rich is the real deal and this conversation will stick with you long after it ends. Go listen to the full episode at https://caryjack.com/podcastin/ and if this one resonated with you, share it with someone who is grinding away but has not done this inner work yet. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do for someone is hand them the mirror. That is Happy Hustlin'. What does Happy Hustlin' mean to you? Balance doing it properly. Yeah, go get it, but doing it in a fun, playful, appropriate way. Stop the green.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Mideast and Russia expert Ksenia Svetlova joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Former MK Svetlova is the executive director of ROPES (Regional Organization for Peace, Economics & Security) and a senior non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council. We open the program with an exploration of Iran's historic and current ties with Russia, after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met yesterday with President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg. Svetlova explores Russia's influence in the region -- specifically its direct ties to Hezbollah -- and assesses how much leverage Moscow may have in the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States. In the second half of the program, we focus on Israel's relations with Arab Gulf states in the wake of the war in Iran. We hear how Israel deployed troops and the Iron Dome to its Abraham Accord partner, the United Arab Emirates. She discusses how the region is at a crossroads and the Gulf states are pragmatically discussing whether to deepen ties with Iran, or, potentially, with Israel.

All of us experience unhealthy "toxins" that shape our thinking and ultimately affect our mental health and apprenticeship to Jesus. These toxins seem to come from everywhere— culture and the media, internalized lies from childhood, misguided theological beliefs, and the effects of sin. To flourish in Jesus' peace means learning to appreciate and focus on what God defines as true, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi kick off a new series for Mental Health Awareness Month. Their conversation will help you see how important it is to detox from the harmful thoughts that affect your ability to love God, yourself, and others rightly. You'll be equipped with fresh and practical disciplines to detox and renew your mind.

Today’s Bible Verse: “Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’” — John 20:21 John 20:21 captures a powerful post-resurrection moment. Jesus appears to His disciples—who are fearful and uncertain—and speaks peace over them. But He doesn’t stop there. He immediately connects that peace to purpose: “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” Want to listen without ads?

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is the most important and impactful global agreement on nuclear weapons. 191 counties have joined the NPT since it entered into force in 1970, with just a few notable exceptions, including India, Pakistan, Israel and South Sudan. The NPT has three essential pillars: countries that do not have nuclear weapons cannot acquire them; countries that do have nuclear weapons need to work towards disarmament; and countries should have the ability to access civilian nuclear technologies, under proper safeguards. Every five years, the parties to the NPT come together for what is known as a Review Conference in which they assess progress towards these three pillars and discuss ways to enhance the treaty. The NPT RevCon, as it's known, is one the major multilateral conference on nuclear security, and it is taking place at UN from April 27 to May 22. Joining me to discuss the significance of this NPT Review Conference is Kelsey Davenport, Director for Nonproliferation Policy at the Arms Control Association. We kick off with a discussion of the NPT itself, and it's impact over the decades and then have a long conversation about the key storylines, diplomatic intrigues and key policy debates that will unfold over the next three weeks at the UN. Consider this episode your curtain-raiser for the most important global gathering on nuclear security of the half-decade. A few notes. This episode is produced in partnership with Ploughshares, a foundation committed to reducing and ultimately eliminating nuclear threats. I'll have a follow up episode at the end of conference that discusses what exactly happened during the NPT RevCon. Also, I'll be attending much of the RevCon in person. I'll be serving as something akin to a "pool reporter," covering this conference in support of dozens of international journalists who report on nuclear security issues and feeding them news and insights from the confab. This project is backed by the Stanley Center for Peace and Security Developing Story Project, an initiative to support, strengthen, and sustain reporting on nuclear weapons and related issues. I'm looking forward to this. If you are around the UN, say hi.

There Is No Business Outcome That Doesn't Involve People Revenue, innovation, customer experience, strategy execution — all of it runs through people. Angela's foundational belief is that HR, positioned correctly, is directly tied to every business result an organization needs. That framing changes everything about how the function shows up. 2. HR Started as Process — and Forgot About Influence Angela's diagnosis of how HR lost its seat at the table: the function got very good at processing and forgot about influencing. The path back is showing up with data, tying recommendations to business outcomes, and being part of the conversation rather than behind it. 3. Policy Should Be a Guideline, Not a Wall One of the most powerful lessons from Angela's early career: following policy to the letter can harm the very people HR is supposed to protect. The best people leaders ask "what else can we do?" before defaulting to what the handbook says. 4. Benefits Have Three Layers — and the Order Matters Layer 1: Foundations — comprehensive, affordable health, dental, and vision. Layer 2: Flexibility — in how, when, and where people work. Layer 3: Growth and recognition — opportunities to stretch, develop, and feel valued. Companies that skip to Layer 3 without nailing Layer 1 are building on sand. 5. Caregiver Benefits Are the Most Underrated Tool in Total Rewards Employees don't leave their home lives at the door. Sick parents, sick kids, and pets in need of care are constant sources of distraction and stress. Caregiver benefits that address these realities don't just help employees — they protect productivity and demonstrate that a company sees the whole person. 6. The Aging Parent Crisis Is Coming — Companies Aren't Ready As Baby Boomers age, a growing portion of the workforce will face elder care responsibilities that compete directly with their work. Companies that build caregiver support into their benefits now will be better positioned to retain experienced employees through one of the most stressful seasons of their lives. 7. Presenteeism Costs More Than Most Companies Realize Being at work — physically or virtually — is not the same as being engaged and productive. Angela's point on presenteeism is a sharp one: an employee who is worried about an aging parent, a sick child, or a personal crisis may be clocked in but effectively absent. That has a dollar value, and it belongs in the benefits ROI conversation. 8. Here's How to Pitch a CFO on Life Concierge Benefits Pull absence data. Calculate the cost of leave tied to caregiving responsibilities. Layer in the cost of replacing an employee who left because they didn't have the right support. Then present the cost of the benefit against those numbers. It's not a soft sell — it's a hard business case. 9. "My Company Took Care of Me" Is the Most Powerful Recruiting Tool You Have Word of mouth from employees who feel genuinely supported travels far. When people tell friends, former colleagues, and their networks that their company stepped up for them during a hard time, that's employer brand you can't manufacture with a marketing budget. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Introduction Adam welcomes Angela Briggs-Paige, CPO and founder of People Power, and sets up a conversation about what modern HR leadership really looks like. 01:30 – From Pre-Med to People Leader Angela traces her unexpected path from biology major and aspiring doctor to discovering HR through a work-study job — and never looking back. 04:00 – Redefining What HR Is For Angela's core belief: there is no business outcome that doesn't involve people. How she flips the script on HR as a compliance function and positions it as a business driver. 06:30 – The Mentor Who Pushed Her The manager who challenged Angela to stop saying yes and start asking "what does this mean for the business?" — and how that changed her entire approach to the function. 09:00 – A Story She Wishes She Could Take Back Angela gets vulnerable about an early-career mistake: terminating an employee for exceeding their leave allotment instead of asking what else could be done — and what that taught her about the difference between policy and people. 12:30 – Policy as Guideline, Not Gospel How that experience shifted Angela's thinking on flexibility — and why the best people leaders treat policy as a framework to work within, not a wall to hide behind. 15:00 – The 3 Layers of Benefits That Actually Matter Angela's framework: Layer 1 is foundations (affordable health, dental, vision). Layer 2 is flexibility. Layer 3 is growth and recognition. Why the order matters as much as the content. 18:00 – The Case for Caregiver Benefits Why caregiver benefits — covering aging parents, sick kids, and pets — are among the most impactful and underutilized tools in total rewards, and what happens when employees don't have them. 21:00 – The Aging Parent Problem No One's Talking About Baby Boomers are aging. The workforce is about to face a caregiving crisis. Angela makes the case for why companies need to get ahead of it now — and what benefits can actually help. 23:30 – Peace of Mind as an ROI You can't buy peace of mind — but a company can offer it. How life concierge benefits reduce distraction, improve focus, and make employees feel genuinely cared for. 26:00 – Presenteeism: The Hidden Cost Nobody Measures One of the sharpest moments in the episode: Angela introduces presenteeism — being at work but mentally absent — and explains why it may cost more than absenteeism. 28:30 – How to Pitch a CFO on Life Concierge Benefits Angela's step-by-step framework: pull absence data, calculate leave costs, layer in retention math, and build a cost-benefit case that speaks the CFO's language. 31:00 – What's Lighting Angela Up Angela closes with what's giving her energy at Transform 2026: being surrounded by people leaders who genuinely care about making workplaces better.    

Jeremy spent two tours in Iraq and came home carrying things he couldn't name. In October 2006, he went alone into the deep backcountry of the Washington Cascades for a week-long solo elk hunt, hoping the wilderness would do what it had always done for him. It didn't.Something else was in that drainage, and it had been aware of him long before he was aware of it.This is one of the most carefully told accounts we've received at Backwoods Bigfoot Stories. Jeremy is a veteran, a lifelong hunter, and a man who spent nearly twenty years deciding whether to say any of this out loud. He describes strange resonant knocking that didn't always sound like it came from a surface. Depressions in soft ground that stopped him cold.A food hang disturbed in a way that didn't match any bear behavior he'd ever seen. And then, on the fifth night, three of them surrounding his camp in the dark, with eyes that weren't reflecting light so much as generating it. One of them stepped out into the clearing and let him see it. That was enough.He broke camp before first light and walked ten miles out in the dark.He's never told his wife. He's never told anyone. The experience lives in the same interior room as the things he brought back from the war, and he's kept that room closed for a long time. He opened it here.I f something has been sitting with you, you know where to reach us. brian@paranormalworldproductions.comEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

What if the peace you feel isn't real, just avoidance?You can silence the noise, dodge hard conversations, and convince yourself everything is fine. But underneath, there's still tension, anxiety, and pressure building. This story pulls back the curtain on artificial peace and exposes what's really going on inside. It shows how avoiding conflict, numbing pain, and controlling outcomes can look like peace but slowly break your life. Real change starts when you stop blaming everyone else and face the war within. The shift happens through surrender, not control. Jesus steps into that inner chaos and offers something deeper than surface calm. Peace that rebuilds your soul, reshapes your heart, and changes how you show up in relationships, conflict, and everyday life.Key Scriptures: James 4:1–2, James 3:2–5, Matthew 5:9, Matthew 5:21–22, James 3:9–10

What if the moments you resist most are the ones meant to heal you?This week, we dive into the true root of healing: moving from separation to oneness. Every challenge carries Light—but when we reject the moment, we disconnect from our soul and create space for chaos.  The shift is simple, but not easy: stop fighting the moment… and start aligning with it.In this episode, learn how to move from reactivity to certainty, close the gap between body and soul, and become a true vessel for the Light.  Because healing doesn't come from changing your life—it comes from changing how you meet it.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.Watch LIVE Sundays at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET on The Kabbalah Centre YouTube or catch the latest episode wherever you listen to podcasts.Find out more about our work, dig into our archives, and send us a message at: www.weeklyenergyboost.com.You can also help make Weekly Energy Boost possible by making a tax-deductible contribution at www.weeklyenergyboost.com/donate-today.

Camille Leak, Grey Doolin, and Luis chat about protecting their peace amidst dysregulated political times. With the privilege of their safety, they are attuning to what is true for them and where their agency lies. So many are glued to screens, attuning to someone else's story and suffering, bypassing the okay-ness of their own reality. This attunement to suffering doesn't always resource them to mobilize, but instead oftentimes to collapse. Camille notes U.S. politics are edging closer to her boundary, and she is open to considering moving, but from a place of agency, not trigger. Another consideration is that if hopelessness. In the face of destruction, such as war, how is it that we can hold our own hopelessness when we culturally haven't been taught how to do so? Ultimately, a question we can all ask ourselves is: what is truly ours to respond to? Learn more about Camille and her offerings:Website: https://www.realtalkbravespaces.com/IG: @camille.leakLearn more about Grey and their offerings:Website: https://greydoolin.com/IG: @grey_doolinYou can get instant access to all of the HLN webinars and video courses here: https://hln.thinkific.com/collections You can order the book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can read more about, and register for, the retreat at Broughton in the UK here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/broughton-2026----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Kate Adie introduces dispatches from Pakistan, the Turkey-Iran border, Kenya, Ukraine, and Paraguay.Why was Pakistan chosen as the host of peace talks between the US and Iran? It's a question some in Islamabad have been asking themselves - and has fired-up a sense of national pride. Caroline Davies has watched on as the country gets ready for another round of negotiations.When the war in Iran began, there was a sense of jubilation among some Iranians, who had long-dreamed of the regime falling. Now that seems like a distant reality, and the mood is changing. BBC Persian's Omid Montazeri has been on the Turkey-Iran border, where he has found attitudes towards the war are shifting.This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, which remains the world's worst nuclear accident.

In this episode, Kevin takes you into the core of his life's work: simplicity - not as a lifestyle, but as truth itself. This is not about minimalism, productivity systems, or removing distractions from your external world. This is about something much deeper. Ontological simplicity - the simplicity of what you are.Most men are not lacking intelligence, discipline, or success. What they lack is clarity. And that lack of clarity comes from identification with complexity - the mind, the past, the conditioning, the identity. We are taught that growth comes from addition: more knowledge, more tools, more control. But in this episode, Kevin challenges that premise completely.Truth is not found through addition. Truth is revealed through subtraction.What if nothing in your life needs to be added?What if everything you've been searching for is already here?What if the only thing in the way… is the complexity you've identified with?Kevin breaks down the illusion of identity and explains how the mind - built on conditioning, memory, and belief - creates instability by constantly changing and contradicting itself. When you believe you are your thoughts, your emotions, your past, or your goals, you lose yourself in something inherently unstable.But there is something that does not change.Through direct insight, this episode guides you toward recognizing the one constant: awareness itself. The witness. The observer. The part of you that sees your thoughts, your body, and your experiences - but is not any of them.This is where simplicity lives.This episode is not about learning a new concept or building a better system. It is about seeing clearly. It is about recognizing the difference between what changes and what does not. It is about stepping out of the program - not by force, but by observation.Kevin also addresses the resistance that arises when confronted with simplicity. To the mind, simplicity can feel like loss, like death, like boredom. But this is only because the identity cannot survive without complexity. It needs problems, stories, and goals to exist.What happens when you stop feeding it?You don't disappear.You don't become less.You see what has always been there.Peace. Presence. Awareness.This episode is an invitation - not to become something new, but to stop pretending you are something you're not.No strategies.No systems.No performance.Just truth.Listen, observe, and notice.That's where everything changes.

What if the life you've been chasing is the exact thing disconnecting you from yourself? In this deeply raw and transformative conversation, George sits down with Lacey Newman, top 1% real estate leader, coach, and speaker to unpack the truth most entrepreneurs avoid: Success doesn't create peace. Peace creates sustainable success. Lacey shares her powerful journey from building a life that looked perfect on paper… to realizing she was completely disconnected from herself. Together, they explore the hidden patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck: self-doubt, lack of self-trust, performance-based worth, and chasing validation, and how to break free from them. This episode is not about tactics. It's about truth. Because when you stop sacrificing your soul for your business… everything changes. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why success without self-trust leads to burnout and disconnection The real reason entrepreneurs feel empty even after “making it” How childhood patterns impact your ability to trust yourself The difference between working for peace vs from peace How to rebuild self-trust through small daily commitments Why most people follow the wrong business path (and how to find yours) The hidden cost of performance-based worthiness How to design a business that aligns with your life, not replaces it Key Takeaways: ✔️External success cannot fix internal misalignment. ✔️Self-trust is built through small, consistent commitments to yourself. ✔️Most burnout comes from building a business out of alignment. ✔️You don't need more effort, you need to let go of what's not working. ✔️You are the architect of your business (and your life). ✔️Copying someone else's path guarantees misalignment. ✔️True success is building a business you don't need to escape from. ✔️Peace isn't the reward, it's the starting point.

Miriam Herschlag and Noah Efron talk about 1) The imposed cease-fires, and whether Israelis ought to worry we're becoming a vassal state, and 2) What explains why an IDF soldier thought it was right, or maybe just amusing, to take a sledgehammer to a statue of Jesus in a yard in a village in Lebanon. For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Peace activist, negotiator, and friend of the podcast Gershon Baskin writes that, "Donald Trump is the best chance Israelis, Palestinians have for peace since 1993".

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. US President Donald Trump unexpectedly announces an extension of the truce with Iran hours before the April 22 deadline, reports Magid, adding that the president's recent spate of muddled messaging hasn't helped matters. Magid notes that a divide within the Iranian leadership is slowing decision-making, as it continues to play hardball. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee heads to the US for a second round of Israel-Lebanon talks that appear to have some momentum, says Magid, but will require the ability of the Lebanese government to crack down on Hezbollah if any real progress is to be made. Magid notes that the April 11 deadline set by the Board of Peace for Hamas to respond to the disarmament deal has passed. Hamas doesn't want to be blamed for the collapse of talks, says Magid, but the Board of Peace is still aiming for a phased disarmament.

This message from Ps. Samuel, dives into how true peace is a fruit of walking closely with God. It teaches that peace isn't the absence of problems, but a strength that comes from focusing on Jesus, staying grounded in His Word, and actively resisting fear and anxiety.

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 4-20-26.1689 ARABIAN PENINSULAThe Fog of Peace and the Strait of Hormuz: The US and Iran are currently in a "fog of peace," where a ceasefire is complicated by a US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Tensions escalated after the US seized an Iranian cargo ship attempting to run the blockade. Negotiations in Islamabad face a massive diplomatic chasm regarding nuclear and missile programs. Bill Roggio (1)The Persistence of Iranian Proxies: Iran has not "turned off" proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas, despite ongoing ceasefire talks. Bill Roggio argues that assassinating leaders is ineffective, as Hezbollah maintains significant power and a plurality in the Lebanese parliament. These groups continue to operate independently to provoke Israel and the surrounding neighborhood. Bill Roggio (2)Navigating Iran's Fractured Leadership: Iran's leadership is currently a faceless structure of five major figures, following the supreme leader's absence. This complicates diplomacy because no single person has decisive say. The regime remains paranoid about appearing weak and is unlikely to make concessions on its nuclear or ballistic missile programs. Jonathan Sayeh (3)Internal Unrest and Chemical WMD Threats: Iran is attempting to incorporate its proxies into diplomatic deals with Washington. Internally, the regime faces unrest in Baluch majority areas and economic grievances. There are alarming reports that the regime has developed aerosolized fentanyl, a chemical weapon intended to suppress domestic protesters with lethal force. Jonathan Sayeh (4)Memorial Day and Iran's Economic Ruin: Israel observes Memorial Day for 27,000 fallen soldiers amid a seven-sided war. In Iran, the economy is collapsing as the IRGC takes control. Despite heavy bombing, the IRGC has reportedly reawakened its missile arsenal to 70% capacity, utilizing underground storage to protect launchers from past Israeli and US strikes. Malcolm Hoenlein (5)Global Terror Cells and the Isaac Accords: Iranian-backed terror cells were discovered in Azerbaijan, the UAE, and Europe targeting synagogues and government facilities. Meanwhile, the "Isaac Accords" between Israel and Argentina, led by Javier Milei, seek to deepen ties in Latin America. Additionally, Turkey is proposing new rail links to bypass strategic maritime choke points. Malcolm Hoenlein (6)The Anti-American Shift in South Korea: South Korea's administration is described as an illegitimate, pro-North Korean regime. President Lee Jae-myung has allegedly bribed North Korea and moved to disarm South Koreansoldiers. Experts suggest the US should utilize UN Central Command to restore legitimate leadership and prevent the alliance from further deteriorating. Morse Tan (7)Defense Partnerships in Southeast Asia: The US and Indonesia have formed a major defense partnership, providing a critical counterweight to Chinese influence. Indonesia is seeking private capital for high-tech and extractive projects. Security remains a concern as Chinese drones have been found in Indonesian waters and fishing fleets frequently violate maritime boundaries. Charles Ortell (8)Toughening the Non-Proliferation Treaty: Henry Sokolski argues the NPT needs updating to deny states the "right" to make nuclear fuel. He highlights that the Bushehr reactor contains spent fuel rods capable of producing 200 plutonium bombs. He recommends that Saudi Arabia or other Gulf states pay to return this dangerous material to Russia. Henry Sokolski (9)Weaponizing Space and the Golden Dome: The IRGC used a commercial satellite to target US bases, resulting in an attack in Kuwait. The Pentagon is struggling with jamming and shutter control issues regarding commercial systems like Starlink. Oversight is requested for the "Golden Dome" defense program due to its high costs and limited information sharing. Henry Sokolski (10)Election Fraud and Global Progressivism: Peru faces a crisis over alleged electoral fraud following irregularities in the presidential count. In Barcelona, a "Global Progressivism" meeting led by Pedro Sanchez gathered leftist leaders to counter the "global right." Critics argue these leftist movements are increasingly intertwined with organized crime and drug trafficking. Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo (11)The Rise of Flavio Bolsonaro and Venezuela's Fate: Flavio Bolsonaro is leading polls in Brazil, representing a hope for clean governance against Lula's corruption-prone administration. Meanwhile, the Venezuelan regime has halted compliance with political reforms, making it dangerous for Maria Corina Machado to return. Brazil remains the "big one" for the region's political balance. Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo (12)The Restrictive Ceasefire in Lebanon: A new ceasefire in Lebanon is highly restrictive, limiting Israeli self-defense to "imminent" or "ongoing" attacks. President Trump reportedly strong-armed Israel into this stand-down to facilitate maritime negotiations with Iran. Consequently, Hezbollah is expected to use this period to regenerate its forces and rebuild its infrastructure. David Daoud (13)Hezbollah's Victory Narrative and Bint Jbeil: Hezbollah continues to attack Israeli convoys and refuses to surrender its arsenal, claiming the ceasefire as a victory. The town of Bint Jbeil remains a critical symbolic and military prize for the group. The Lebanese government shows no determination to disarm Hezbollah or enforce sovereignty in the southern region. David Daoud (14)The Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz: The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed as a standoff persists between the US blockade and Iranian vessels. While Iran has the patience for a long conflict, the US is pressured by midterm elections and oil prices. Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia, are increasingly hawkish, urging the US to finish the job. Edmund Fitton Brown (15)Iran's Agile Diplomacy and the Five Files: Iran is "moving the goalposts" by linking the Lebanon ceasefire to maritime negotiations. Success requires progress on five files: the Strait, nuclear program, ballistic missiles, proxies, and human rights. Some Gulf autocracies may prefer a weakened Iran over a successful democratic regime change that could threaten their own prestige. Edmund Fitton Brown (16)

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, peace talks with Iran were expected to begin in Pakistan on Tuesday, but recent reports from Iranian state media have thrown the meetings into doubt. The fragile 2-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran will expire on Wednesday, and there has been no news on extending the truce. Meanwhile Iran says they will not negotiate while under threat. Also mitigating the risk of excavating uranium, Iran's only leverage is their perspective on the US following their intentions, Democrat's disdain for a US victory over Iran, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer leaves the Trump cabinet as Keith Sonderling takes over and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson accused the Supreme Court majority on Monday of overstepping its role to "wordsmith" a lower court in Washington, D.C., in a pointed break from her colleagues in a Fourth Amendment case about whether a police officer had reasonable suspicion to stop a man.

What if the thing you care about most ... might be what's holding your business back?Daniel Lubetzky didn't leave his law job to build a straightforward business. He left it to build a company he believed would support peace in the Middle East. Daniel named it, aptly, PeaceWorks. It partnered with Israeli and Arab businesses across the region to make and sell gourmet foods—together.But Daniel ran into a big problem: he discovered that lots of people don't shop for a “cause”. Most people buy things they like—especially when it comes to food.Soon, Daniel was scrambling to find new revenue streams to support PeaceWorks. When he got the chance to sell an Australian snack bar in the U.S., he jumped on it—and did really well! But when Daniel's ONE big retailer dropped it, profits tanked.Daniel faced a brutal choice: Walk away… or start over.What came next was a leap of faith. He decided to create his OWN bar. It was almost completely unlike the competition at the time: It was made of whole nuts, fruits, sea salt, and a little chocolate—all easy to see in a novel, transparent wrapping. Daniel named his company KIND, and when he sold it to Mars in 2020, it was valued at $5 billion!This is a story about why mission alone doesn't sell, how failure forces clarity, and the moment every founder faces when they must decide: Do I keep going ... or do I quit?What you'll learn:Why customers don't buy your mission—they buy your productThe hidden danger of being “too purpose-driven”How to pivot without abandoning what matters to youWhy control over manufacturing can make or break your businessThe surprising power of retail placement (and why checkout counters changed everything)How scarcity thinking can limit growth—even when you're winningWhy saying “yes” to the wrong opportunity (like Walmart too early) can hurt youTimestamps:00:06:18 – “It really did shape almost all of my decisions”: How Daniel's father survived the Holocaust and built a new life in Mexico00:17:40 – A landmark meeting of world leaders—and a dramatic career change00:19:30 – From a bankrupt sun-dried tomato spread to PeaceWorks00:24:29 – “They think you're adorable”: Why a mission isn't enough to grow a business00:30:59 – Overnight collapse: Finding a big, new revenue stream—then losing it00:36:47 – The creation of the KIND bar00:47:36 – “You couldn't say no to Walmart”: Entering big box too early00:49:28 – The investment that pulled Daniel away from PeaceWorks00:55:43 – Starbucks and sampling: How KIND became a household name01:03:05 – An acquisition worth billions01:06:25 – Daniel's new mission: Builders vs. destroyersThis episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music by Ramtin Arablouei.
