For decades, buying a home was seen as the cornerstone of financial security in Canada. But with Toronto and Vancouver homes priced at 10 to 12 times the average family income, more Canadians are renting well into their 30s and 40s not by choice, but by necessity. Senior Desjardins economist Kari Norman discusses her recent study on the rise of the permanent renter, exploring the data behind affordability, the trade-offs between renting and owning, the lack of family-sized rental housing in major cities, and what a 27-year-old saving today should really be thinking about.

The boys drink and review Sierra Nevada's Torpedo Extra IPA, then move on to political strategy and methods. Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals remains one of the most influential—and controversial—books on political organizing ever written. In this episode, Pigweed and Crowhill dive into the life and ideas of the Chicago community organizer whose methods have shaped activist movements for generations. From "pick the target" and "keep the pressure on" to the strategic use of ridicule, disruption, and media attention, they unpack Alinsky's famous tactics and examine why they continue to be effective decades after they were first developed.But the conversation goes beyond a simple review of organizing techniques. Are these tactics merely practical tools that can be used by anyone seeking political change, or do they encourage a permanent culture of conflict? Why do modern movements always seem to be searching for the next crisis, the next injustice, or the next cause? Pigweed and Crowhill explore whether activism has become less about solving problems and more about sustaining a mindset of perpetual agitation.Along the way, they discuss Barack Obama's background as a community organizer, Hillary Clinton's connection to Alinsky, Ben Shapiro's surprising praise for some of Alinsky's methods, and the broader question of how political narratives are created, amplified, and maintained. Whether you see Alinsky as a champion of the powerless, a master strategist, or something more troubling, his influence on modern politics is impossible to ignore.

Day 1,560.Today, Sweden impounds a Russian cargo ship allegedly exporting Ukrainian grain from occupied territories. Then, as images of the results of yesterday's Ukrainian strikes in and around St Petersburg start to appear, Marco Rubio denies any knowledge at all of a US delegation at the nearby economic forum, just as said participants show that they really don't like the press asking them questions one little bit. Dom reports how Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte has directly addressed Russian men, telling them that if they go to fight in Ukraine “you'll be left to suffer in the mud and die”, and Lily looks at a tight vote in the US House of Representatives over Ukraine funding that managed, just, to get over the line.

Todd Blanche, Josh Turek, Ashley Hinson, Tim McBride, and Spencer Pratt headline today's A.M. Update. Trump tells Miranda Devine at the New York Post he wants acting AG Todd Blanche to stay permanently, and Aaron says the DOJ's activity record makes it hard to argue with. California primary results are still trickling in with Steve Hilton leading the Republican field at 27.8% and Spencer Pratt trailing Karen Bass by only about four points with votes still outstanding, and Aaron breaks down the campaign lessons Pratt's run already offers any candidate willing to learn them. Secretary of State Marco Rubio methodically dismantles Senator Jacky Rosen's gotcha question about the Pakistan negotiations, then tells Congressman Tim McBride that Greenland is part of Denmark "for now" — and Aaron says that was the best line of the week. Iowa's general election matchup is now set: Republican Ashley Hinson faces Paralympic gold medalist and Democrat Josh Turek for Joni Ernst's retiring Senate seat, and Aaron closes with a deep dive on what Zach Lahn's populist anti-big-ag message means for Iowa politics and why it might quietly split the Democratic coalition in November.

(2) Josiah Osgood details the 63 BCE Catilinarian conspiracy, where Caesar proposed permanent arrest for conspirators instead of execution. Cato countered with a powerful speech advocating death, successfully swaying the Senate and accusing Caesar of involvement. This established their permanent rivalry, pitting Cato's Stoic reputation for honesty against Caesar's pursuit of dignitas through political office and military glory. Cato modeled himself after his famous ancestor, stressing austere virtue, while Caesar used the Roman Forum as a theater of power. Their ideological divide over senatorial versus popular authority began to tear at the Republic.1899

C is for Carnavalet. Or should that be Kernevenoy?? In this episode, we dive into one of Paris's most overlooked treasures - the Carnavalet Museum, the only museum in the world dedicated entirely to the history of Paris. I share, for the first time, the story of visiting the newly renovated museum before it opened to the public - completely alone - while waiting for the birth of his first son. Plus: the strange story behind the museum's bizarre name, and the remarkable woman history forgot.

5/27/26Episode SummaryEpisode 186 reviews the Breeze product/landing page (wearbreeze.co) — a men's polo brand that targeted you on Instagram.What they do well: Tiered bundle pricing shown as price-per-shirt ($59 → $29 → $23 each), heavy social proof (300K+ customers, 16,914 sold, curated reviews matching the target demo by age/height/weight), and treating the product page as a landing page with strong copy and a cross-sell to shoes.Red flags: The "30-day wear test guarantee" contradicts the actual refund policy (unworn items only, returns shipped to UK at customer expense, despite a NYC phone number). Sizing copy says both "true to size" and "fits slightly small" on the same page. Permanent "low stock" badges, inflated compare-at prices, and an About page that only talks about shoes and reveals nothing about the people behind the brand.Takeaway: Lots of best practices worth stealing, but small inconsistencies erode trust the closer you look.Show LinksBreeze Landing Page - https://wearbreeze.co/products/capri-axVideo & Transcripthttps://jadepuma.com/blogs/the-shopify-solutions-podcast/episode-186-review-of-breeze-landing-page

Emily is a Managing Director at Permanent Equity, a St. Louis-based private equity firm that his made its reputation as its name suggests – by investing out of 30-year funds that enable longer term holds and relationships with founding entrepreneurs.  Emily and the hosts sail through her childhood in Indianapolis, college as a journalism major at the University of Missouri and a first job in marketing in Los Angeles.  There, she connected with Permanent Equity founder Brent Beshore, returning to the Midwest and joining the firm in 2009.  Much discussion ensues on how the Permanent Equity model differentiates the firm in a market largely defined by investor liquidity requirements. Emily also has the misfortune of dealing with the hosts after a spring layover.  Rusty?  No.  Bristling with sports rivalries and other resentments ?  Always.

What if the organic waste we send to landfills could instead become a scalable climate solution? In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Alma Cortés Selva, Senior Advisor at the BMO Climate Institute, speaks with Jerry Kristian, co‑founder of NuLife GreenTech, about how industrial waste—from food processing residues to sewage sludge—can be transformed into permanent carbon removal and low‑carbon fuels.   Kristian explains how NuLife's hydrothermal liquefaction technology mimics the natural process that formed fossil fuels, but in minutes rather than millennia, converting wet organic industrial waste into carbon‑rich biocrude and biochar. The conversation explores why modular deployment matters for municipalities and industry, how underground geological storage enables permanence, and why rigorous third‑party verification is critical to building trust in carbon removal markets.

In this episode, host Duane Osterlind sits down with Dr. Muhamad Aly Rifai, a dual-trained internist, psychiatrist, and addiction medicine specialist with over 25 years of clinical experience. Together, they dive deep into a rising public health concern—Kratom and 7-OH products—and unpack the complex neuroscience of how substance abuse alters brain architecture.Dr. Rifai shares insights from his book, Hijacked Mind: How Addiction Rewires the Soul, exploring the reality of permanent brain changes, the sliver of hope offered by neuroplasticity, and how a holistic Biopsychosocial model can help individuals rebuild their lives.About the GuestMuhamad Aly Rifai, MD, is an internist, psychiatrist, and addiction specialist. He serves as the medical director of an addiction treatment center and has spent the last two decades treating individuals facing co-occurring psychiatric disorders and chemical dependencies. He is also known online as "The Virtual Psychiatrist."Key Takeaways & Discussion Points1. The Kratom Crisis: Natural Leaf vs. 7-OHKratom is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. While traditionally used as a tea for pain relief, a massive commercial market has emerged around it in the United States, creating two distinct camps:The Natural Leaf Camp: Powdered or dried leaves primary containing mitragynine. Many users report it offers relief from chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and fatigue when used responsibly.The 7-OH Camp: Highly potent, biochemically isolated 7-hydroxymitragynine sold in gas stations and smoke shops as pills, extracts, and drinks.The Clinical Reality: Because these products are completely unregulated by the FDA, consumers often don't know what they are ingesting. Dr. Rifai notes a dramatic rise in patients requiring medical detoxification from 7-OH products, experiencing severe withdrawal syndromes comparable to high-dose opioid or fentanyl withdrawal.2. The Neuroscience of a "Hijacked Mind"For years, addiction wasn't fully understood as an architectural shift in the brain. Dr. Rifai explains the sobering realities of what happens when a substance takes over:Down-Regulation: Severe drug use causes a decrease in the number and sensitivity of opioid receptors.Apoptosis: Substances like fentanyl trigger programmed cell death in areas governing executive function, emotional regulation, and perception.Permanent vs. Adaptable Changes: While some cellular damage is irreversible, neuroplasticity allows the brain to build new neural pathways around damaged areas through targeted treatment.3. The Biopsychosocial Model for RecoveryOvercoming severe addiction requires a 360-degree approach. Dr. Rifai breaks down the essential framework for a successful recovery program:Dimension Core Interventions & Strategies Biological Complete abstinence, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) like buprenorphine or methadone, treating underlying psychiatric comorbidities (depression, anxiety), and neurostimulation (like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation / TMS).Psychological Addressing cognitive distortions "on steroids," processing trauma (which is present in 60% to 70% of addiction cases), and utilizing evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT .Social Building a supportive network through family involvement, peer support counselors, prescription digital therapeutics (specialized apps), and 24/7 accessible support groups like AA/NA via Zoom.Words of Hope"Help is out there.

In this episode, CardioNerds Dr. Colin Blumenthal, Dr. Kelly Arps, and Dr. Yong Hao Yeo are joined by electrophysiology expert Dr. Bradley Knight to discuss atrial fibrillation (AF) management in challenging clinical scenarios. We explore arrhythmias in patients with pre-excitation syndromes, particularly Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, and strategies for rhythm control. We also discuss AF management in pregnancy, adult congenital heart disease, and patients with tachycardia-bradycardia (tach-brady) syndrome. This episode provides essential insights into nuanced decision-making for the care of patients with complex arrhythmia profiles. Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Grace Qiu.

PEARLS AF in WPW is a true emergency—AV nodal blocking agents can be deadly. In patients with WPW syndrome, AF can rapidly conduct through the accessory pathway, risking ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. Avoid AV nodal blockers like beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers. Catheter ablation is the first-line rhythm control strategy in WPW. Catheter ablation carries a Class I recommendation and offers >90% success. If antiarrhythmic drugs are needed, sodium channel blockers like flecainide or propafenone are preferred in patients without structural heart disease. In pregnancy, protecting the mother is protecting the fetus. An unstable mother means an unstable fetus. Rate control is the first step in AF with rapid ventricular responses and electrical cardioversion is safe when needed. Multidisciplinary care is essential. AF in congenital heart disease is often outside the pulmonary veins. Surgical scars and chamber remodeling in ACHD patients often lead to AF from non-pulmonary vein foci. Electrogram-based mapping and targeted ablation strategies are essential to increase success rate of durable rhythm control. Tachy-brady syndrome may require pacing to unlock therapy. AF may cause atrial myopathy and sinus node dysfunction. These patients often require permanent pacing to allow safe use of rate-controlling medications like beta-blockers and to prevent syncope or chronotropic incompetence. Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Yong Hao Yeo Why is atrial tachycardia in patients with WPW syndrome dangerous? Patients with WPW commonly present with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) due to atrioventricular reentrant circuits, either orthodromic or antidromic. This SVT can degenerate into AF. In the absence of AV nodal as the governor between the atrium and ventricles, the accessory pathway may conduct impulses rapidly and frequently. This can lead to dangerously high ventricular rates, predisposing patients to ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac arrest. What are some strategies for rhythm control in patients with WPW and atrial tachycardia? Catheter ablation is the first-line therapy (Class I recommendation), with a success rate of over 90%. Ablation reduces the risk of sudden cardiac arrest, though some patients may remain prone to AF. If ablation is not feasible/ contraindicated, sodium channel blockers such as flecainide and propafenone are good options in patients without ischemia or structural heart disease (Class IIa recommendation). Amiodarone should be avoided because it has a long half-life, can accumulate in the system, and may delay definitive treatment with catheter ablation. AV nodal blocking agents like beta blockers and calcium channel blockers should be avoided, as they are less effective at controlling ventricular rate in WPW and can increase conduction over the accessory pathway. These agents can also exacerbate the risk of rapid ventricular rates during AF and worsen left ventricular function. What are some special considerations in managing AF in pregnant patients? The primary goal in managing cardiovascular disease during pregnancy is to protect the mother, as fetal outcomes depend on maternal well-being. Therefore, while caution is necessary, we should avoid undertreating pregnant patients with AF. In cases of AF with rapid ventricular response (RVR), rate control is usually the first-line strategy, with beta blockers preferred over digoxin or non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. It is then reasonable to initially observe for spontaneous conversion in stable patients. Antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) are generally avoided during the first trimester, but clinical judgment on a case-by-case basis is essential. Evidence for the safety of AADs in pregnancy is limited, often derived from their use in other conditions such as fetal SVT. Flecainide and sotalol are reasonable options for rhythm control (Class IIa recommendation). Electrical cardioversion is considered safe in pregnancy and should be utilized when indicated (Do not forget!). There is no pregnancy-specific thromboembolic risk stratification tool. CHA₂DS₂-VASc scoring and the presence of risk factors like mitral stenosis can help guide anticoagulation decisions, though the magnitude of thromboembolic risk during pregnancy remains unclear. Rate control agents are typically continued during delivery due to the increased physiologic stress of labor and delivery. Multidisciplinary care is crucial and should involve obstetrics, maternal-fetal medicine, cardiology, and electrophysiology specialists. What are some key considerations for AF management in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD)? Patients with repaired congenital heart disease are at increased risk for arrhythmias due to two main factors: surgical scars that create arrhythmogenic foci and mechanical remodeling of the atria or ventricles resulting from the underlying disease. In these patients with structural heart disease, sodium channel blockers may not be ideal antiarrhythmic options. When selecting an antiarrhythmic drug, clinicians must consider the nature of structural or surgical impairments, such as right bundle branch block or prolonged QT interval. It is also essential to assess renal and hepatic function (often impaired in patients with ACHD) to ensure appropriate metabolism and clearance of antiarrhythmic medications. Electrogram-based ablation strategies (those leveraging artificial intelligence are developing!) may help identify effective ablation targets, which are often outside the pulmonary veins in patients with ACHD. These individualized approaches can improve ablation success rates in this complex patient population. What makes tachycardia-bradycardia (tach-brady) syndrome a unique challenge in arrhythmia management? Patients who present with both AF and bradycardia, especially with syncope, require a thoughtful diagnostic approach to identify the underlying rhythm disturbance. Extended cardiac monitoring, including event monitors or implantable loop recorders, can help capture intermittent arrhythmias and correlate them with symptoms. AF may lead to atrial myopathy, and since the sinus node resides within the atrium, this can result in sinus node dysfunction—a hallmark of tachy-brady syndrome. Following spontaneous conversion from AF to sinus rhythm, sinus node dysfunction may persist, leading to prolonged pauses or chronotropic incompetence. Management becomes more complex when beta-blockers are needed for AF with RVR, as they can exacerbate bradycardia. Permanent pacemaker implantation is often the next step to consider. Permanent pacemaker implantation is often considered to facilitate safe rate control in these cases. In younger patients, aggressive AF burden reduction may prevent atrial remodeling and the development of true atrial myopathy, potentially avoiding pacemaker implantation.

I'd rather have 1,000 real buyers than 100,000 tire kickers. Purpose: the thing you can't NOT do differs from passion: the thing you feel excited about. God is in "I am"—everything after is bullshit. Fuck the Pharisees, fuck religious scholars who recite scripture without living it. The mind is meant to be servant, not the master.When you have lemons, you could let them dry out—or juice them when they're ripe. The painting's beautiful, but without blank canvas, you don't have a painting.Listen if you're ready for the long game. Showing up when passion dies, but purpose remains. God and I are one, and yet God is greater than I.

The successful conclusion to the Artemis II mission on April 10, 2026, ushered in a new era of enthusiasm for manned space flight. For NASA, the next steps in this incredible journey will include mankind's establishing permanent habitation on the moon and Mars. But a lot of work has to be done before those dreams can be fully realized. For example, what supporting infrastructure will be needed to underpin these future colonies, and how do we build it in airless, waterless environments? Our guests today include Dr. Nancy Currie-Gregg, former NASA astronaut and current director for the newly minted Texas A&M University Space Institute, and TTI Agency Director Greg Winfree. TTI is teaming with the A&M Space Institute to help Texas and the United States position themselves to advantage in the growing space economy. | Learn More about the Texas A&M Space Institute

In this episode of Power User, I sit down with writer Jasmine Sun to unpack the terrifying idea that artificial intelligence could permanently reshape class, wealth, labor, and power in America.We discuss OpenAI, Anthropic, AGI, automation, white collar layoffs, Silicon Valley ideology, AI job displacement, universal basic income, data center protests, populism, and whether society is prepared for what's coming next.Could AI destroy upward mobility? Will automation create mass unemployment? Are tech companies being honest about the future they're building?We cover:The permanent underclass theory explainedWho is actually pushing this ideaOpenAI's shifting stance on job displacementLeading the Future and AI lobbyingWhy AI is different from past tech hypePolicy failures and democratic backlashWhat China is doing differentlyWhat workers should actually do now#AI #Tech #Technology #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #AGI #OpenAI #Anthropic #SiliconValley #TechNews #JobAutomation #AIJobs #TechIndustry

AI has made it easier than ever to move faster, produce more, automate workflows, and build leaner systems, but speed alone does not create sustainable growth. Part one of this connected conversation challenges the belief that constant sacrifice, permanent sprint mode, and “all gas, no brakes” ambition should be the default path for entrepreneurs, founders, creators, and growth-minded leaders trying to grow faster with AI. The danger is not just moving faster. The danger is believing faster means you can handle more without consequence. AI can support execution, ideation, communication, and productivity, but it cannot replace judgment, self-trust, infrastructure, recovery, or the human capacity required to sustain what you are building. A necessary sprint is different from self-abandonment. A sprint has a reason, a start, a finish, a communication plan, a recovery plan, and a purpose everyone understands. Permanent sacrifice has no finish line, no recovery plan, and often leaves your health, family, peace, relationships, and capacity quietly paying the invoice. Challenge yourself to “Face Your Actual 24” and not your fantasy version of productivity. Look honestly at what your day requires, what needs protection, what needs to move forward, and where AI can support your systems without becoming a substitute for discipline, boundaries, discernment, or real infrastructure. Growth should include “pockets of sunshine” inside the life you are actually living, not just a future version of success you hope will finally give you permission to breathe. This is not anti-AI, anti-growth, or anti-ambition. It is a wake-up call to stop treating sacrifice as the strategy. Growth should not require losing yourself, your family, your health, or your peace in the process, because if the business grows but the life around it breaks, what are you really building?

Access to Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Among Veterans With Homeless Experience in Permanent Supportive Housing JAMA Network Open This cohort study assessed 10,110 US veterans with homeless experience and opioid use disorder (OUD) residing in permanent supportive housing (PSH), in terms of what factors are associated with receipt of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD).  Only 17% received MOUD within 12 months. Greater behavioral health engagement was associated with MOUD receipt, while older age, race minority status, and prior inpatient hospitalization were associated with lower odds. These results suggest that MOUD access in supportive housing should be expanding, which could require embedding addiction care into PSH teams, leveraging behavioral health touchpoints, and addressing persistent disparities.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Energy secretary Chris Wright tells NBC News the Trump administration is considering freezing the 18.4 cent per gallon federal gas tax to give relief to drivers during the Iran conflict. The move would be a punishing blow to the left's economic arrows about affordability and may actually open the door to a more significant PERMANENT change. Trump shuts down Iran's peace deal and tells Israel to back up. Anonymous says Trump is allied with Israel for reasons different than we might think.  

Hey friend,  Have you been living in survival mode for so long that it feels normal? Do you sometimes wish life felt lighter — but feel guilty for wanting that? Could wanting more than survival actually be a healthy signal from your nervous system? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. Chronic Illness Moms is a podcast for moms with chronic illness or chronic symptoms who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits that actually work inside a full, demanding life. Many caregiving moms spend long seasons in survival mode while supporting their children. But survival mode was never meant to be permanent. In this episode I unpack why it happens, why the desire to feel better is a healthy signal (not selfish), and the simple permission practice that helps you start trusting that desire instead of fighting it.

The Viking Age saw a significant transition from small-scale raiding to large-scale military conquest and permanent settlement. A massive raid on Paris yielded seven thousand pounds of gold, highlighting the Vikings' effectiveness as raiders during the decline of the Carolingian Empire. In 865 AD, what is known as the "Great Heathen Army" arrived in England, functioning as mobile war bands that used waterways to launch surprise attacks on various kingdoms. This invasion successfully toppled kingdoms such as East Anglia, Northumbria, and Mercia, leaving only Wessex to hold out under King Alfred the Great. Following a stalemate between Alfred and the Norse leader Guthrum, an agreement was reached that established the Danelaw, a vast region where the Norse exerted political and legal control. This period of settlement is evidenced today by a linguistic imprint in English place names reflecting Old Norse influence, showing that the Norse lived alongside existing populations on their newly acquired farms. Simultaneously, the "Rus" or rowers expanded eastward from modern-day Sweden and Finland, navigating the great rivers of Eurasia. Led by Rurik, they settled in Novgorod in 862 AD, marking a major starting point for the Norse diaspora's reach into Eastern Europe. 2/81649

Exile to Switzerland and the Loss of AutonomyIn 1952, while sailing to Europe, Chaplin learned his U.S. re-entry permit had been revoked by Attorney General James McGranery on moral and political grounds. This forced Chaplin into a permanent exile in Switzerland, where his wife Oona had to return to America alone to salvage their financial assets and close their studio. While the move provided a restful environment to raise his eight children, it cost Chaplin the absolute creative autonomy he had enjoyed at his private Hollywood studio. He found himself struggling with foreign unions and rising production costs, leading to a creative decline in his final two films. Guest: Scott Eyman. (7/8)1900 LA

This short podcast episode is Jeremy Begley's Bry-X session from the 7th Annual HVACR Training Symposium: "Permanent Load Reduction in HVAC – The Hidden Driver of Long-Term Sales."  Some common customer complaints we hear as HVAC contractors include high humidity, high electric bills, noise, and uncomfortable rooms. The typical HVAC solution is to change the equipment or ductwork, such as by downsizing the unit, adding ancillary dehumidification, or modifying the ductwork. If we can't solve the problem, the customer will ultimately choose a different contractor, no matter how hard we try to modify the HVAC system. However, we may be able to use our thorough load calculations to turn our attention to the building and find ways to reduce the overall loads. We expose problems with the structure and can solve them with permanent load reduction strategies, rather than the equipment and ductwork modifications, and serve customers better while earning more money. Key performance indicators (KPIs) drive money in a business, and ServiceTitan has identified five KPIs closely linked to profit: callbacks, first-time fix rate, warranty claims, comfort complaints, and average ticket. Callbacks are often driven by comfort complaints, which may occur when we modify equipment but not the envelope and vice versa. Warranty claims occur when the equipment can't work as well or efficiently as intended, such as when the load doesn't match the equipment and strains the unit. When we solve these problems, we become trusted advisors and increase customer satisfaction. The customer will continue to work with a company that solves their problems and will recommend HVAC businesses to their family and friends, which also drives sales.  Permanent load reduction requires us to understand load calculations thoroughly, but it's a means for HVAC companies to control outcomes. It requires a mindset change, but when we control system outcomes and increase customer satisfaction, we earn trust and earn more sales in return.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

I'm bringing back a conversation that forever changed some foundational beliefs I had on motivation. Dr Benjamin Hardy is a now famous Organizational Psychologist. He's also now the author of multiple best selling books. I first had him on this podcast for his book, Willpower Doesn't Work. Then again for his book, Personality Isn't Permanent. I think he's been on here four or five times now. But it was during one show that he just touched on a story that I ended up using for the opening story in my book, What Drives You. Ben grew up in what I would call a fairly strict religious construct, where the religion was looked at as the purpose of life. Then he watched his parents divorce, which was antithetical to the religion, and while his mom devoted herself to a sketchy health related business, his dad became a meth addict. Ben couch surfed as a teen, barely made it through high school, and at age 19 found himself playing video games, literally all day, sometimes having to fend off other meth addicts who came to his dad's apartment. And I hear about this while Ben is on my show with his next bestselling book in the “self-help” category. Meanwhile I had nine kids who I was trying to raise “perfectly” so they'd grow up to…maybe be a renowned psychologist and author making big money with a beautiful family. Like Ben. So following, is the in depth story I was incredibly curious to understand. Find Ben anywhere, just type in Ben Hardy.

1. Military Morale and Leadership U.S. military morale has significantly strengthened by a commander-in-chief who is willing to risk substantial resources to rescue a single American service member. Trump is contrasted against Clinton (Somalia), Obama (Libya), and Biden (Afghanistan), portraying those administrations as failing to protect troops. The U.S. military ethos: soldiers fight aggressively because they trust that medics, rescue forces, and leadership will risk everything to save them. 2. U.S. Military Culture and “Quiet Math of American Violence” Highlight inter-service respect (Marines, Navy corpsmen, Air Force PJs). American combat effectiveness comes not just from training or equipment, but from certainty that help will arrive under fire, reinforcing battlefield courage. 3. Trump’s Iran Policy and Deterrence Strategy Trump’s foreign policy is: “FAFO” (forceful consequences for aggression) Transactional with allies (support is conditional) Infrastructure strikes are: Intended to cripple military and economic capability Designed to pressure the population to overthrow the regime A deliberate choice not to destroy oil infrastructure to preserve post‑conflict recovery potential 4. War Crimes Accusations and Legal Defense Democrats and media figures are labeling infrastructure strikes as “war crimes.” This is countered by citing the Pentagon’s Law of War Manual, arguing that power generation and infrastructure supporting military operations can be lawful military objectives. 5. View of Iranian Leadership Iran’s rulers are theocratic extremists who: Do not care about civilian suffering Are willing to sacrifice large portions of their population Doubts are expressed about whether economic devastation would deter or influence regime behavior. 6. Immigration and Violent Crime Violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants are widespread and underreported Democratic policies (sanctuary cities, TPS, opposition to ICE) directly enabled these crimes Several specific criminal cases argue that border enforcement failures have led to American deaths.
