On his latest trip to the Middle East, Donald Trump is making big news. He's indicating a receptiveness to making a deal with Iran trading normalization for nuclear non-proliferation. He ended the bombing campaign against Yemen and is also pushing for normalization with Syria. Further, the White House has sidestepped Israel in order to have direct talks with Hamas. These moves have angered some hawks in the GOP as well as the Israeli government. But will Trump's attempt to shift America's policy in the Middle East pay off, especially given his record of erratic attention to details and sudden shifts in direction? To assess the situation I spoke with Trita Parsi of The Quincy Institute, who recently wrote about these matters for The American Conservative.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen In an era where philanthropy is rapidly evolving—spanning from billion-dollar foundations to viral crowdfunding and crypto donations—how can we ensure our giving actually makes a difference? This episode of Inspired Money brings together an expert panel of changemakers to reveal how generosity can be smarter, more inclusive, and more impactful. Whether you're a business leader aligning profit with purpose, a non-profit professional seeking fresh strategies, or someone passionate about making a difference, this discussion spotlights actionable ways to maximize your impact. Meet the Expert Panelists Jacob Harold is a social change strategist and author of The Toolbox: Strategies for Crafting Social Impact. He is the former President & CEO of GuideStar, co-founder of Candid and Project Starling, a Planetary Fellow at the Berggruen Institute, and Senior Advisor at Rewiring America, with a career spanning philanthropy, nonprofit innovation, and climate advocacy. www.craftingimpact.org Jamie Minden is the Executive Director at Zero Hour, a youth-led climate justice organization mobilizing communities to take action against the climate crisis. A seasoned organizer since age 13, she has led efforts with Sunrise Movement Silicon Valley, Fridays For Future D.C., and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, bringing powerful grassroots strategy and storytelling shaped by her firsthand experience with California's climate disasters. https://thisiszerohour.org Bruno Fierens is a fifth-generation member of a wealthy Belgian family and the first Belgian member of Millionaires for Humanity, an organization advocating for fairer taxation and a more just global system. Reflecting on issues like sustainability, the fight against poverty, his privileged position in society and his experiences with philanthropy, kept leading him to the same conclusion: “if someone like me is really serious about changing things for the better, fairer taxation is the core issue to act on”. He is a media trainer and former spokesperson based in Brussels and holds master's degrees in political science and communication. www.brunofierensmediatraining.be https://millionairesforhumanity.org Key Highlights 1. Philanthropy: More Than Writing Checks Jacob Harold emphasizes that strategic philanthropy requires more than reacting to symptoms; it's about “thinking structures, long-term impact, and tapping into a toolbox of solutions—from data to community organizing to storytelling.” He challenges us to ask: Are we using all the tools available, and are we learning as we give? 2. Tackling Systemic Issues Over Band-Aid Solutions Bruno Fierens shares his journey—including tangible success and frustration—supporting homeless initiatives in Brussels. His perspective: “Philanthropy is amazing and needed, but it's almost always going to work on symptoms—not enough on structural issues.” Bruno argues for systemic approaches like fair taxation alongside charitable giving. 3. Youth-Driven Action for Climate Solutions Jamie Minden highlights how today's young leaders, born into the climate crisis, are pushing philanthropy toward supporting community-driven and policy-level change. She shares, “Investing in grassroots organizations addressing policy and social change right now is vital if we want to turn the tide on climate.” 4. The Power—and Perils—of Modern Giving Platforms Panelists discuss the transformative role of technology: from social media amplifying grassroots movements to the promise (and pitfalls) of AI and blockchain in making data-driven giving decisions. Caution is raised to prioritize ethical philanthropy that elevates community needs over donor preferences, to avoid what's described as “philanthropic colonialism.” Call-to-Action

Navigating Entitled Drivers, Cold Days, and Changing Traditions: A Humorous Take on Modern SocietyIn the energetic world of everyday interactions, humor becomes the balm that soothes the soul. Mike and Torya, hosts of "The Nightly Rant," blend sarcasm with wit to discuss societal quirks in their latest episode. The themes? A nostalgic return to baseball, the chaos of unruly drivers, and the everyday changes impacting their local region.Key TakeawaysRelishing the Sports Season: The joy of the baseball season re-energizes local communities, reminding us of the simple pleasures of enjoying a game at the ballpark.Navigating Traffic Madness: The bewildering behavior of drivers signals a broader societal issue: a pervasive sense of entitlement that can lead to dangerous situations.Adapting to Change: Observations at the ballpark reflect greater changes in society, from quirky dining options to unexpected weather patterns.Baseball is Back: Experiencing the MagicRebirth of the Baseball SeasonIt's that time of year again when baseball reignites the spirit of fans who flock to stadiums with refreshed enthusiasm. Mike exuberantly notes, "Baseball is back… big league weekend this weekend." The triumphant return of America's pastime marks a cherished ritual, encapsulating the seasonal transition and community bonding found only at the ballpark.In their nostalgic recount, Mike and Torya reminisce about witnessing a close call: "A's won the first game in nice fashion, 4 to 2… so it's 2 to 1." The meticulous recounting of these close scores underscores the tension and excitement that only live sports can offer. The broader implication? Baseball serves as a societal glue, uniting fans even during adversities like chilly weather and wind-whipped afternoons. Reflecting this, Torya humorously contends, "Yesterday was freezing cold," establishing the universal truth of weather's unpredictability during the spring season.A Transforming Experience at the BallparkWith the return of baseball comes the inevitable changes to the ballpark experience itself. Mike excitedly points out new culinary options: "They added lumpia… What a weird thing to eat at a ballpark. But they were delicious." This introduction of diverse food options indicates a shift towards accommodating varied tastes and attracting more visitors. The discussion illuminates how innovation permeates even the most traditional venues, enhancing the spectator experience.Moreover, alterations in vendor locations provoke Torya to recall, "They put stuff in strange places for big league weekend," reflecting a microcosm of larger societal shifts. Changes in consumer preferences and logistical decisions mirror the adaptability required in an ever-evolving world. It's a call to embrace novelty while cherishing tradition—a balance every modern institution, from sports ventures to businesses, must navigate.The Perils of Entitled DrivingDaily Observations of Driver BehaviorThe everyday absurdity of traffic provides ample fodder for comedic reflection. As Mike incredulously narrates, "They drive like entitled asshats. They drive like you owe them something." Such portrayals serve to emphasize the disconnect between common sense and the aggressive impatience exhibited by drivers on the road.Recurring recounts of perilous driving illustrate a deep-seated issue of recklessness and entitlement. In recounting an altercation in a parking lot, Mike shares, “I'm in a parking lot. I'm waiting to go into an empty parking space… this big… Ford truck pulls in… I'm yelling, you know, you bleeping fool, what are you doing?" This anecdote opens the floor for a discussion on public safety hazards and roads becoming less about the journey and more about dodging chaos.Consequences and Community ImpactThe rampant disregard for traffic laws culminates in dangerous consequences, as highlighted by a tragic incident Mike and Torya discuss: "A person's dead as a result,… the street was closed." Such life-and-death situations underscore the critical importance of responsible driving—a topic of genuine concern that transcends humor.Their casual banter reveals the hidden tension echoing throughout society. Local officials can benefit from embracing strategic measures to combat this issue by advocating for safer road designs or enforcing stricter traffic regulations. The urgency of change is paramount, as the duo notes, “I'm shocked though that there aren't more accidents on that on-ramp,” illuminating an imminent need for vigilance and regulatory interventions.Coping with Change and ExpectationsShifts in Community DynamicsIn navigating the nuances of change, the pair reflect on changes seen at the ballpark as well as within their community. Mike's observation, "they're a kiosk, so the burger place is a kiosk… They just don't want to do it," hints at pivoting towards compact, efficient practices that can sustain both quality and demand in contemporary commerce.Transitional narratives are explored further as Torya seeks to understand how community employment is influenced; “What do the people who work at the ballpark do… in the offseason?" With changing economic landscapes and employment patterns, flexibility becomes essential for both individuals and businesses to thrive. Such insights underline an adaptable workforce capable of enduring occupational shifts, similar to how students might adjust between semesters.Embracing the UnexpectedMoreover, encounters at the ballpark and observations about the weather reveal underlying themes of unpredictability. As Mike exclaims, "The wind creates a feels like temperature, which makes it feel cold," acknowledging changing weather patterns while playfully chiding Dallas' erratic climate. Such remarks remind us of climate's persistent variability, encouraging a mindset that remains ready for sudden shifts and surprises.In light of becoming adaptable, the overarching narrative from this episode is to embrace the humor that rises amidst uncertainty. The quirky dialogues and exchanges propose resilience through comedic reflection, as societal norms are questioned, discarded, or unexpectedly reaffirmed. It's the methodological embrace of humor demonstrating that despite life's spontaneities, one profitable course of action always involves laughter.In this spirited analysis, Mike and Torya prompt viewers to seek lessons amidst everyday comedies—from baseball fields to highways. As the pair narrates their episodes of banter, sarcasm, and candid truths, their connective tales lend audiences a signature antidote—that in facing the whirlwind of change, humor can buoy the soul and sustain the heart.

In this episode, Oden talks to rank-and-file union member and college professor Jason Koslowski about President Trump's tariffs. They discuss the growing capitalist crises that have led to these policies, and what Trump is hoping to gain from them — both internationally and domestically. Importantly, Jason explains why labor leaders' support for the tariffs is a form of chauvinism that will only hurt workers in both the U.S. and abroad. The working class paid the price for neoliberalism, and we will also pay the price for protectionism. We cannot fight on the capitalists' terrain. Instead, we need to organize from below to fight for a different system.

Freud believed we were often influenced by memories, traumas and instincts we had repressed, but they influenced our behaviors anyway. He got there by studying hypnosis, analyzing dreams and paying attention to those slips of the tongue that reveal what we try to keep hidden. "No mortal can keep a secret," Freud maintained. "If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips. Betrayal oozes out of him at every pore." Poetic language that. And the idea has weaved its way into our modern psyche. All of us have used that excuse along the way. "Man, I was completely unconscious. What was I thinking?!"The great Brazilian psychoanalyst, Norberto Keppe, has advanced Freud significantly with his concept of inconscientization. It's not that we're naturally full of hidden indecent desires and animal instincts. For Keppe, we banish from our consciousness what we don't want to admit. That means, we know what's going on, but we deny what we know. And that has serious consequences.The Perils of Living Unconsciously, today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head.Click here to listen to this episode.

Join me down a sparkling rabbit hole of classic tinseltown ambition, brilliance, greed, and foolishness as we look back at the bizarre history of Planet Hollywood. In 1991, a connected film producer, zany British restauranteur, and 4 of Hollywood's A-List (Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger) opened a "museum inside a fun house" that also sold food. I would end up meeting the Spice Girls at this palm tree-laden establishment, so to them I am thankful, but this project imploded just as quickly as it exploded and you need to hear the details because they are WILD! Let me know what other random pop culture phenomenons you would be interested in hearing about cause I am down to cover them.
And so you have men on bikes racing through narrow gaps on jammed avenues with a backpack full of shrimp curry and pad thai, meanwhile an elderly man (me) on his way to the drugstore to pick up some Alka-Seltzer stands on the curb, peering into the darkness for some glimmer of light, some sign of motion, some clue as to approaching bicycles. This is the adventure of life in Manhattan, serious bodily injury from bicyclists delivering exotic food at high speed to stay-at-home software programmers.This is why I pay extra to live in a doorman building. Felipe will deal with the guy on the bike, accept the charred wok vegetable medley and the crispy calamari and drunken noodles with peanut sauce and hand the bag to Lenny, who will bring it up to the 12th floor and leave it at our door and the food will still be hot though the restaurant is a mile away. This is a remarkable amenity. It's not the cold weather that keeps my sweetie and me indoors, it isn't the fear of stickups, it's the fear of being run down by bicyclemen delivering food to other people. The fear of lying in the street while covered with garlic sauce. This is a public episode.
