Show Notes: Noah Feldman,  Harvard Law professor, author, and ethical advisor talks about his career in constitutional law and his experiences in Iraq and Tunisia, sharing stories from his time guiding, and in some cases, establishing, the law of countries in turmoil or collapse. He also talks about the themes explored in his books  and current pursuits. Real World Projects in Constitutional Law Noah describes his academic journey, starting from his early love for school and his decision to pursue academia full-time, with brief interruptions for real-world projects. He shares his experiences as a law clerk for the late Justice David Souter and his role as the senior constitutional advisor to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq. Noah discusses his involvement in drafting the Iraqi constitution, starting from scratch, and the unique opportunity it provided to apply his academic knowledge in a real-world scenario. He recounts his work in Tunisia after the Arab Spring, advising the Constituent Assembly on constitutional design.  Oversight on Facebook After writing his book about James Madison, Noah's next step was unexpected involvement with Facebook's Oversight Board, which was inspired by a conversation with Sheryl Sandberg and Mark Zuckerberg. He was in California giving a talk at Stanford. He was thinking about writing a book on free speech in the era of social media. He explained to Sheryl how he had the idea that Facebook would benefit from having a kind of private Supreme Court. And the idea was that all of the companies privately made content moderation decisions could actually be made in a more public and transparent way, according to principles and the doing so would add to the legitimacy of their decision-making process. She loved the idea and introduced him to Mark Zuckerberg, and the outcome was the Oversight Board. Noah explains his ongoing work advising tech companies on governance issues and the complexities of balancing free expression and ethics in the tech industry. A Sideline in Journalism and a Focus on Writing Noah mentions his sideline in journalism, starting with a recommendation from Michael Ignatieff to write for the New York Times. He shares his experience of writing for Bloomberg's opinion section for over a decade. Noah talks about his podcast, Deep Background, which he hosted for three years, and his plans to relaunch it in a slightly different format. He discusses his current book project, The Importance of Being Human, which explores the value of human relationships in the age of AI and technology. Noah elaborates on his book project, focusing on the importance of human relationships in various aspects of life, including work, family, and politics. He expresses his open-mindedness about the potential value of romantic relationships with AI, despite initially holding a different view. Following a Theme of Constitutions When asked about his book choices, Noah explains his organizing theme of constitutions, focusing on Middle Eastern and US constitutional history. Noah outlines his planned book series on the history of the US Constitution, emphasizing the narrative throughline of the people who shaped it. He shares his experiences in Iraq, describing the chaotic and disorganized environment he encountered and the challenges of creating a functioning legal system in the midst of civil disorder. He shares the biggest lesson learned, the importance of order and law, arguing that without de facto control on the ground, it is difficult to establish a functioning legal or constitutional system. He also talks about how militias were formed. Noah discusses his work in Tunisia, highlighting the successful transition to democracy and the role of Islamist political parties in the democratic process. He reflects on the importance of norms and conventions in maintaining a functional constitutional system, using the example of Tunisia's failed Constitutional Court. Norms and Conventions in Maintaining a Constitutional System Noah emphasizes the significance of norms and conventions in the functioning of institutions, including legal systems and constitutional orders. He discusses the role of norms in the US constitutional system, using the example of the impeachment of Donald Trump to illustrate how norms can be changed by actions that challenge them. Noah reflects on the importance of understanding and respecting norms and conventions in maintaining the integrity of legal and constitutional systems. He highlights the need for clear and effective checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power and ensure the rule of law. The Importance of Family Noah shares details about his personal life, including his recent marriage to Julia Allison and his two children, Jamin and Mina, who are pursuing careers in the arts. He describes his relationship with his ex-wife, Jeannie Suk Gerson, and her husband, Jake Gerson, and how they maintain a good working relationship despite being colleagues.Noah reflects on the importance of family and personal relationships in his life, noting the support and encouragement he receives from his family.  Harvard Reflections Noah reminisces about his time at Harvard, highlighting the impact of his mentors and the courses he took.

Perry. Noah discusses his involvement with the Program on Jewish and Israeli Law at Harvard Law School and the importance of medieval Jewish and Islamic Studies in his work.

According to Chinese Communist official Xi Zhongxun, his first revolutionary act was an attempt to poison one of his school's administrators when he was 14. He was faithful to the revolution, and the Chinese Communist Party, until his death at age 88 in 2002. In between those ages was a remarkable life. He fought Nationalists and Japanese. He was a right-hand man to both Zhou Enlai in the 1950s, and Hu Yaobang in the 1980s. As the Party administrator responsible for dealing with religious groups, he negotiated with the Dalai Lama–and would show off the wristwatch that the Dalai Lama gave him. But Xi also spent sixteen years in house arrest, internal exile, under suspicion, or at least out of power, from 1962 to 1978. “In the early 1990s, Xi even boasted to a Western historian that although Deng Xiaoping had suffered at the hands of the party on three occasions, he had been persecuted five times.” All this would make Xi Zhongxun fascinating simply as a psychological study of a Communist functionary who, despite everything, remained devoted to the system that oppressed him. But Xi Zhongxun was also the father of Xi Jinping, now effectively the dictator of China. If we are to understand the younger Xi, argues my guest Joseph Torigian, then we must understand his father.Joseph Torigian is an associate professor in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and a center associate of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. He was previously on the podcast to discuss his book Prestige, Manipulation, and Coercion: Elite Power Struggles in the Soviet Union and China after Stalin and Mao, a conversation that was published on May 23, 2022. His latest book is The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping was released with Stanford University Press in June 2025. It was a Financial Times Book of the Summer and an Economist Best Book of the Year So Far.00:00 — Introduction02:19 — Overview of Xi Zhongxun's Life07:15 — Early Life and Revolutionary Beginnings11:44 — Growing Up as a Peasant in Shaanxi15:02 — Path to the Communist Base Areas19:21 — The United Front Work24:10 — Work with Ethnic Minorities26:00 — The 1935 Arrest by Fellow Communists27:56 — Patronage and Party Relationships30:51 — The Northwest Bureau and China's Territorial Expansion33:43 — Personal Life and Family36:37 — The 1962 Purge41:50 — Sixteen Years of Persecution44:37 — Why Bring Him Back?46:53 — Deng Xiaoping's Distrust50:55 — Grudges and Party History52:33 — Xi Jinping and His Father's Legacy59:17 — Conclusion

In this week's episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor sits down with Owen Garrity, founder and lead creative of FPW Media, to explore his remarkable journey from professional photographer to leading a 50-person full-service agency, all without external investment. Owen shares the pivotal lessons he's learned along the way, from paying four months' rent upfront just to secure his first space, to scaling through grit, creativity, and an unshakable belief in saying “yes” to opportunity. He opens up about the challenges of delegation, the balance between control and trust, and the importance of celebrating wins, even when growth feels relentless. Together, Debra and Owen dive into the core principles that have shaped FPW Media's success: client-centricity, a commitment to team culture, and the courage to follow intuition. Owen also gives a glimpse into his next chapter, expanding into AI-driven services, new industries, and strategic acquisitions, while maintaining the same passion and purpose that started it all. This episode is an inspiring listen for entrepreneurs who believe in building something extraordinary from the ground up, one bold decision at a time. CONNECT WITH DEBRA:         ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: ⁠debra@businessaction.com.au ⁠ ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/ ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/ ___________________________________________ GUESTS DETAILS: ►Owen Garrity – LinkedIn ►Owen Garrity – Website       Episode 249 Chapters:    00:00 – Introduction 00:43 – Owen Garrity's Journey and Philosophy   04:31 – Building FPW Media from Scratch   08:50 – Lessons Learned in Leadership   17:30 – Growth and Client-Centric Approach   31:02 – Building Trust and Team Dynamics   35:27 – Future Plans and Personal Life   39:07 – Advice for Entrepreneurs

Curiosity is one of the most important tools we have for creating deeper connection, healthier culture, and more aligned leadership. When we slow down enough to notice and question our unconscious assumptions, we open the door to new possibilities. This, in turn, expands our sense of hope and improves our ability to collaborate with others. In this conversation, we explore how organizational culture is shaped, how we shape our personal relationships, and the role curiosity plays in shifting limiting patterns in both areas. You'll walk away with practical ways to listen differently, ask better questions, and align your actions with the human you most want to be.In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I invited Danielle Marshall to join me in a conversation about why leading with curiosity is key to intentionally cultivating what you want in your business and personal life.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:What you need to build a strong organizational cultureSimple curiosity supporting questions that strengthen relationships in personal and professional life.Recognizing and reframing limiting beliefs that keep you from your potentialPractical ways to slow down, reduce assumptions, and create more intentional connections. Thanks for listening! Have thoughts on this episode?

He opens up about the moments that broke him, the lies he told himself, the pain he caused, and the internal flames he spent years trying to numb.This episode goes far beyond addiction.It's about the truth men avoid, the chaos we create, and the courage it takes to face ourselves.In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Matty opens up about:• Growing up in chaos, abandonment, and abuse• Finding identity in punk rock, rebellion, and danger• Becoming a firefighter and “living the dream” on the outside• How trauma, infidelity, and addiction slowly tore his life apart• PTSD, nightmares, hypervigilance, and trying to “fake it” on the job• Losing his marriage, his kids, and nearly his life• The DUI, assault, and suicidal moment that became a breaking point• The cops who talked him down — and the woman who saw something in him when he didn'tThis is more than a firefighter story — it's about addiction, PTS/PTSD, fatherhood, broken identity, and the brutal cost of unresolved pain.If you're a first responder, veteran, spouse, or anyone who feels like they've gone too far to come back, this episode is for you.Part 2 drops Sunday, November 23rd — and that's where the story erupts into the turning point that changed everything.00:00 Introduction and Personal Struggles01:33 Podcast Introduction and Guest Welcome03:55 Guest's Professional Background09:13 Personal Life and Family Dynamics16:19 Early Life and Rebellious Youth33:10 Reflecting on Childhood and Early Life Lessons35:32 Struggles with Betrayal and Anger37:51 Navigating Family and Career Challenges42:53 The Journey to Becoming a Firefighter55:01 Facing Personal and Professional Adversities01:05:11 Hitting Rock Bottom and Seeking Redemption01:07:31 A Glimmer of Hope and Support01:12:14 The Road to Recovery and Reconciliation#RelentlessPursuitPodcast #MattyFiorenza #FirefighterStories #TraumaHealing #OvercomingAddiction #RecoveryJourney #MentalHealthAwareness #FirstResponders #SurvivorStory #UnfilteredConversations

Este episodio recorre la vida de un pastor-intelectual que unió púlpito, aula y reforma social: de su labor en Pilrig, Edimburgo —con vivienda obrera, educación y misión urbana— al magisterio en New College (cátedra de Apologética y Teología Pastoral, 1868–1897). Destilamos su “hermenéutica para el ministerio” a través de tres frentes: (1) Exégesis pastoral en The Expositor's Bible (Joshua; First & Second Samuel), donde dialoga con la Alta Crítica sin rendir lo sobrenatural.    (2) Formación de predicadores, con For the Work of the Ministry como manual que combina piedad, claridad y utilidad en el sermón.  (3) Imaginario misional, gracias a The Personal Life of David Livingstone, biografía autorizada que fijó al héroe misionero para una generación.  Mostramos cómo Blaikie integró rigor histórico-gramatical, convicción evangélica y sensibilidad pública, y qué pueden aprender hoy iglesias, seminarios y obreros de su equilibrio entre cabeza, corazón y ciudad.

What if one conversation at 16 could shape the next 40 years of your life? In this episode, Dr. John A. Gallucci Jr., President & CEO of JAG Physical Therapy, shares his remarkable journey from a high school wrestler with injuries to building one of the Northeast's largest physical therapy empires with 170 locations serving New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Through the pivotal mentorship of Rich Giardano (a relationship that began with a literal smack to the back of the head and the question "What do you want to STUDY?"), John discovered his calling in sports medicine and learned invaluable lessons about business, integrity, and the importance of balance. From nearly losing everything in the first six months to serving over 700 providers and 2,000 employees, John reveals how one mentor's wisdom about networking, continuous learning, and kindness became the foundation for an organization that treats everyone "like a VIP professional athlete." John reflects on how Rich's mentorship shaped not just his clinical skills, but his approach to building culture, fostering the next generation of leaders, and why he believes "one kind brings two." This principle guides JAG Physical Therapy's mission to help people "get back to the life you love."   [00:04:35] What John Does: Dual-Licensed Healthcare Leader Dual licensed as both a certified athletic trainer (ATC) and physical therapist (PT, DPT) Master's degree in sports science and master's in physical therapy, plus doctorate in physical therapy President, CEO, and Founder of JAG Physical Therapy (John Anthony Gallucci = JAG) [00:08:11] Most Rewarding Case: From "Never Walk Again" to Dancing Woman hit by a taxi cab in New York City Physicians told her she would never walk again without an assisted device John calls this "probably one of the most proudest moments in my professional career" [00:11:05] Growth Strategy: Patients as Best Marketers 80% of growth in just the last two years came from former patients opening doors Patients have spoken to insurance groups, doctors, and healthcare systems to bring JAG into their communities Vision: "My goal is the people that need us have access to us" [00:12:37] Teaching the Next Generation: Network = Net Worth "Your personal network helps you grow your professional network" As professional network grows, it creates more opportunities personally AND professionally Importance of being ingrained in the community while building personal and professional networks [00:13:53] The Million Dollar Question: A Life-Changing Mentor Who Changed Everything: Rich Giardano [00:14:00] Pivotal Person: Rich Giardano - The 40-Year Mentor Has been John's mentor since age 16 (John is now 58) Known Rich his whole life, but formal mentorship began in high school Rich is a physical therapist in sports medicine who worked for the New York Rangers and owned his own practice [00:17:12] The Impact of Mentorship: Building JAG on Rich's Principles Within six months of opening JAG Physical Therapy, they were almost out of business Rich sat down with John and reminded him: "You've got this network of people from being in different worlds of pro sports and collegiate sports. You've gotta be able to use that network to foster growth." Within 18 months, they made their first profit (John's wife Dawn was grateful they didn't lose their home!) [00:19:52] Personal Life: 40 Years Together Family Foundation: Married to Dawn for 35 years this December (together for 40 years total) Known each other since age 9, dating since age 18 Two children: Stephanie and Charles [00:22:41] Advice: Enjoy the Ride John's Best Advice: "No matter what you're building, enjoy the ride. Sometimes you get caught up in it. You gotta enjoy your wins. Everybody has losses. You gotta be able to get back up and fight for the win." Taking moments to sit back and say "wow" about the journey: from 1,800 square feet to 170 locations, from one clinician to 700+ providers. [00:23:20] The Congressional Moment: Realizing the Impact Speaking to Congress: Invited to Washington DC to speak about provision of physical therapy care Topic: Importance of slips and falls prevention for seniors Congressional leader's perspective: "John, you've made an impact in one of the biggest markets in the world, not even in the United States"   KEY QUOTES "The day you stop learning is the day you should no longer be working." - Rich Giardano (John's mentor) "Your personal network helps you grow your professional network. And as your professional network grows, it just gives you more opportunities personally and professionally." - Dr. John Gallucci Jr. "Enjoy the ride. You gotta enjoy your wins. Everybody has losses. You gotta be able to get back up and fight for the win." - Dr. John Gallucci Jr. "The best competitors are those that are also making the competition better." - Dr. John Gallucci Jr. CONNECT WITH DR.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: James Clear is the author of one of the most influential books of our generation, Atomic Habits. He's sold over 25 million copies worldwide and has helped millions of people transform their lives through the power of small changes. We brought the podcast to the campus of Ohio University, where we recorded live in front of 250 of the most impressive college students I've ever met. Notes: I loved the Morgan Housel moment - It was cool to see James' reaction to it (you can watch it on YouTube.com/RyanHawk). Morgan said, "I have absolutely not a single cell of envy for him. Because he is the nicest guy you will ever meet. You will not meet a nicer human than James Clear. You will not meet someone as successful as he is and as humble as he is. He is a saint in my life. And because of that, I adore every bit of this guy, so I cannot envy him. I am just inspired by his success, full stop." We should all strive to be that for the people in our lives. Your WHO - "Every opportunity in life comes through a person. Relationships are usually the most important thing. If you want to achieve more, there is a relationship that can unlock better results. If you want to make a meaningful contribution, helping others is a great way to do it. If you sim Willpower – 'People with tremendous self-control aren't that different from those who struggle. They're simply better at structuring their lives in a way that doesn't require heroic willpower.' It's not about determination, it's about design. That's liberating. Fall in Love with the Process - "When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running. And a system can be successful in many different forms, not just the one you first envision." Make It Obvious, Easy, Attractive, Satisfying - The four laws of behavior change: make good habits obvious and bad habits invisible, make good habits easy and bad habits difficult, make good habits attractive and bad habits unattractive, make good habits satisfying and bad habits unsatisfying. Use the Two-Minute Rule - Scale any habit down to something that takes two minutes or less. Want to read more? Read one page. Want to run a marathon? Put on your running shoes. The goal is to master showing up and make the entry point as easy as possible. Standardize Before You Optimize - You can't improve a habit that doesn't exist. Master the art of showing up before worrying about optimization. Build consistency first, then work on increasing the dose or improving performance. Track Your Habits Visually - I use a paper clip strategy: start each day with 120 paper clips in one jar, move one to another jar each time I complete a writing session. Visual tracking provides clear evidence of progress and makes the habit satisfying. Habits Need to Match Your Personality - There's no one-size-fits-all approach. Morning people and night owls need different strategies. Work with your natural tendencies, not against them. Choose habits and contexts that align with who you already are. Create Commitment Devices - Make bad habits difficult through commitment devices. I had my assistant change my social media passwords every Monday and only give them back on Fridays. This eliminated mindless scrolling during my productive work hours. Focus on Systems, Not Goals - Winners and losers have the same goals. The difference is their systems. Goals are about the results you want to achieve; systems are about the processes that lead to those results. Fall in love with the process, not the outcome. Build Habits That Align With Your Desired Identity - I wanted to be a writer, so I wrote every Monday and Thursday for years. Eventually, I had proof. I couldn't deny I was a writer because of the body of work I'd created. Your habits are how you embody your identity. The Plateau of Latent Potential - We expect progress to be linear, but it's not. Habits often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. You need to persist long enough to get through the plateau and break through to the other side. Reduce Friction for Good Habits - I want to work out more, so I lay out my workout clothes the night before. When I wake up, they're the first thing I see. The easier you make the habit, the more likely you are to do it. Increase Friction for Bad Habits - Want to watch less TV? Unplug it after each use and put the remote in another room. The added friction makes the bad habit less appealing and gives you a moment to make a better choice. Automate Good Decisions - Technology can lock in good behavior. I set up automatic transfers to my investment account. Once the system is in place, the good behavior happens without requiring willpower or decision-making energy. Student Questions  On Building Habits in College - The mess of college is actually useful because you're forced to figure out who you are. Use this time to experiment with different habits and see what sticks. You have more flexibility now than you will later in life. On Breaking Bad Habits - Trying to eliminate a bad habit without replacing it with something else is really hard. The more sustainable approach is habit substitution. If you want to stop scrolling social media, replace it with reading for five minutes instead. On Staying Consistent - Never miss twice. Missing once is an accident; missing twice is the start of a new habit. Elite performers aren't consistent because they're more disciplined—they have better strategies for getting back on track quickly when life happens. On Finding Your Purpose - I think the idea of finding your purpose is misleading. You don't find your purpose; you build it through the habits you practice daily. Your life is essentially a collection of your habits, so if you want a different life, build different habits. On Overcoming Setbacks - After my accident, I had to redefine what success looked like. Sometimes progress means recovering what you lost rather than reaching new heights. Focus on what you can control today rather than what you wish you could control. On Reading and Learning - I read across many disciplines because insights often come from connecting ideas from different fields. Read widely, take notes, and revisit those notes regularly. The goal isn't to finish books—it's to find ideas that change how you think. On Building a Writing Practice - I published twice per week for years before anything took off. Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in one year and underestimate what they can accomplish in ten years. Show up consistently and let time do the heavy lifting. Reflection Questions Are you focused on achieving goals or building systems? What's one process you could improve this week that would make your desired outcomes more likely? What's one habit you want to build? Can you make it so easy that you can't say no—something that takes two minutes or less? How can you design your environment to make this habit obvious and attractive? Which of your current habits align with the identity you want to build? What small votes can you cast today through your actions to prove to yourself who you want to become?

In this episode of Operation Be, I'm diving into something that might ruffle a few feathers — unlearning the rules. This conversation was sparked by a moment that stopped me in my tracks and made me ask, “Wait…who decided this was how it's supposed to be?” From money to relationships to the invisible “shoulds” we've all been handed, I'm sharing my personal journey of realizing that most of the rules we live by weren't even written by us. Somewhere along the way, we absorbed them — from family, society, or fear — and called it normal. But here's the truth: you get to write your own rulebook. In this episode, I'll challenge you to look at what beliefs you've been carrying that don't actually serve the life you want. We'll talk about how to recognize them, release them, and replace them with new standards that feel like you.

In this solo episode, Kyle takes a step back from strategy and systems to share a simple reminder we all need: it's not all about business. He talks about rightly ordering your life—faith, family, work, and everything in between—and how easy it is to let the demands of business crowd out what truly matters. A thoughtful conversation about slowing down, staying present, and making sure your business serves your life, not the other way around. ----- Homeowners are already using AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini to research remodelers — are you showing up where they're searching?

William H. Seward is an important figure in the history of New York State. Seward was Governor of New York, and served as Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of State during the Civil War. Thomas P. Slaughter is professor emeritus of history at the University of Rochester, and for over 12 years he and his students digitized and archived 25,000 pages of Seward's papers recently discovered in baskets and trunks. The result of that project in part is a new book about Seward told through the lens of his family life at home in Auburn, New York. Slaughter discusses what he uncovered in The Sewards of New York: A Biography of a Leading American Political Family.
