Speaking Tuesday about his war on Iran, Donald Trump got too candid. He declared that the worst-case scenario could involve people running Iran who are just as bad as those he's deposing. He also admitted that most of the people the United States hoped will take over are now “dead,” and visibly had no idea what will happen next. All this accidentally reveals just how little thought he's given to what will happen as this continues to unfold. It comes as MAGA is turning against Trump over the war: Personalities like Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh and many more are sharply questioning Trump's stated rationales and Israel's role in dictating our war policy. We talked to Zeteo's Asawin Suebsaeng, who closely covers Trumpworld. We discuss how Trump is recklessly miring us in a horrifying quagmire, the real reasons MAGA is turning on Trump, whether MAGA angst could cause Trump to rethink, and what it means that MAGA opposes war in Iran while thrilling to savage brutality at home.

It's the season 21 finale as we delve into another murder committed by the ultra wealthy. This week we talk about pathological liar Christian Gerhartsreiter, who killed a couple in the 80s but continued a reign of terror under many identities. His most famous was that of Clark Rockefeller, yes of those Rockefellers. A name under which he got married, had a child, swindled many, and finally got caught.

What if the anger you feel as a mother isn't a character flaw…but a signal worth listening to? Kate Mason sits down with Lauren Novak, award-winning journalist, mother of two, and author of the groundbreaking new book Meltdown: Why Motherhood Makes Us Angry and What to Do About It. Lauren brings her two decades of investigative journalism to bear on one of motherhood's most taboo subjects: mum rage. Drawing on a survey of over 200 mothers and cutting-edge neuroscience, Lauren unpacks why so many mothers feel consumed by anger they can't explain and why that anger is far more common, and more understandable, than anyone admits. This episode is a warm, validating, and genuinely practical conversation for every parent who has ever lost it and immediately felt consumed by guilt. Listen For3:45 What inspired Lauren Novak to turn her journalistic lens on her own experience of mum rage?9:13 How did discovering the term "postpartum rage" change the way Lauren understood her own anger?15:10 Why does sleep deprivation make it so much harder for mothers to manage their emotions?17:10 What does the research say about who is really getting up in the night — and why hasn't that changed?28:43 What are the first steps Lauren recommends when a mother is feeling overwhelmed by anger? Leave a rating/review for this podcast with one click Connect with guest: Lauren Novak, Education and Social Policy Editor | Author 'Meltdown'  Website | LinkedIn | Instagram| Facebook| XContact Kate:Email | Website | Kate's Book on Amazon | LinkedIn | Facebook | X

Episode Overview This episode reframes common leadership myths. Instead of framing leadership outcomes as products of personality (“confidence” or “presence” in the room), we explore how consistent organizational performance is tied to designed leadership operating systems—not ephemeral personal performance. What separates inconsistent execution from repeatable results isn't charisma or emotional mastery alone, but clarity of structure, decision rules, and infrastructure that protects quality under pressure. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. The Fallacy of Performance-Centric Leadership Leaders often assume that meetings succeed because of their presence, intensity, or confidence. Real-world inconsistency comes not from personality gaps but from whether clarity and decision frameworks were in place beforehand. When structured systems are missing, leaders compensate with personal energy—but this doesn't scale as complexity grows. 2. When Linear Growth Models Fail Traditional assumptions about leadership presume: Inputs → Strategy → Execution → Results In simple contexts, this holds. But as organizational complexity increases, effort and talent no longer produce proportional outcomes. The stall isn't lack of ambition—it's limits of leadership systems. 3. Leadership as Leverage—Only When Designed Early growth often depends on leaders filling structural gaps with personal skill. Over time, if outcomes hinge on how leaders feel or show up, performance becomes unpredictable. The leverage of leadership becomes reliable only when embedded in repeatable systems. 4. Systems That Protect Decision Quality Consistent performance under pressure comes from infrastructure, including: Clear decision rules Pre-commitments before stress escalates Weekly operating rhythms that reduce ambiguity Filters that stop emotional reactions from driving strategic action This shifts leadership from performance to infrastructure. 5. Calm Outperforms Charisma Charisma may win moments; calm, structured leadership wins quarters and years. Research indicates decision quality deteriorates under cognitive and emotional load when structure is absent. High-performing organizations rely more on clarity, repeatable processes, and defined roles than on heroic leadership behaviors. 6. From Emotional Mastery to Decision Mastery Emotional regulation matters but alone is insufficient for repeatable outcomes. Leaders perform best not by suppressing emotion, but by designing systems so emotion doesn't hijack execution. Effective systems ensure setbacks trigger review—not panic; uncertainty triggers structure—not avoidance. Practical Implications for Leaders • Prioritize System Design Over Personal Performance Leadership development should emphasize creating frameworks that make alignment, decision-making, and execution consistent—regardless of personality variables. • Build Operating Rhythms That Reduce Ambiguity Create weekly and quarterly rhythms that clarify role expectations, key decisions, and escalation pathways. • Embrace Structural Calm Temper leadership advice that leans heavily on mindset or presence. Invest equally in the infrastructure that keeps decisions stable under pressure. • Shift the Leadership Narrative Encourage teams to see leadership not as a moment-driven performance, but as a designed, repeatable infrastructure that creates leverage at scale. Quote for the Episode “Leadership remains the leverage—but it becomes repeatable only when it is designed, not performed.” Recommended Further Listening & Reading Related Breakfast Leadership Show episodes on organizational systems and decision quality Articles on decision-making under pressure (Harvard Business Review) and organizational health and execution excellence (McKinsey) linked in the original article. Actionable Steps You Can Take This Week Audit one recurring decision process: identify where ambiguity arises. Define or refine the decision rule governing that process. Map the operating rhythm (who, when, how) for that decision cycle. Adjust meetings or check-ins to reduce reliance on individual presence and increase systemic clarity.  Source article:  https://www.breakfastleadership.com/blog/leadership-is-the-leverage-but-only-if-its-designed-not-performed

What does it take to create a beautiful and safe relationship? In this episode I am revisiting combining two analogies I've used before, the bucket analogy and the relationship circle, and I'm calling it the Relationship Bucket. How do we fill this bucket up? Who is responsible for filling it? What things will fill it? Is how women fill it different than how men fill it? All of these questions and more are part of our discussion today.

Most dental bite problems are not caused by difficult patients or complex cases. They happen because the bite is rarely measured. In this episode of the Dental Assistant Nation podcast, we explore how accurate bite measurement can completely change patient outcomes and day to day efficiency in the dental practice. Kevin Henry sits down with prosthodontist Dr. Robert Kerstein to explain why traditional bite adjustment methods rely heavily on guesswork and why articulating paper alone cannot measure bite force or timing. Dr. Kerstein shares decades of clinical experience using computerized bite analysis and explains how objective data leads to more precise adjustments, fewer post treatment visits, and greater patient comfort. The conversation highlights the important role dental assistants play in recognizing unresolved bite issues, supporting better diagnostic tools, and helping practices move toward more efficient and predictable care. This episode offers practical insight into how measuring the bite improves treatment results, strengthens patient trust, and supports long term oral health.

The famous actor comes to Herman in a dream, convincing him to make his feature “Bear Naked Amazonians from Mars.” If he makes the deadline, the film will take Best Feature at South by Southwest, making Herman an international celebrity. What motivated you to make this film? I was inspired by No Wave film  –  a movement from  NYC 1976-1982. In this style, you shoot it now. Before you even have a complete understanding of the story. You blast your way into the production and trust instincts. I thought this would be a great departure from my first narrative film, in which I was much more careful. I think in the future I will return to a more traditional, methodical plan, having learned what I needed in the process of making a No Wave inspired film.  From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you  to make this film? 18 weeks and two days from the first day of writing to the last shot of principal photography, then 18 months of editing and graphics, VFX, etc.  How would you describe your film in two words!? Hope High What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? Other than time and money? Personalities. If even one cast member is not doing an indie film for the love of it, but rather from the money or career advancement it might bring, the whole cast and crew gets infected with negativity.  —— Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Dental assistants work under constant pressure, expected to stay focused, calm, and precise while caring for patients and supporting the dental team. Over time, this demanding pace often leads to stress, physical pain, mental exhaustion, and burnout, especially when dental assistants put everyone else first and ignore their own health. This conversation explores why burnout is so common in dental assisting and how daily stress builds when self-care is treated as optional instead of necessary. It covers practical ways dental assistants can manage stress, protect their physical and mental health, and build simple daily habits around sleep, movement, nutrition, emotional awareness, and boundaries. It also shares quick techniques that can be used during the workday to reduce stress and support long-term career sustainability.

Ever wonder why certain fantasy books instantly click for you… while others just don't?It might not be the book. It might be you.In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, I'm matching fantasy book recommendations to common personality types, using the Myers-Briggs framework as a fun (and surprisingly accurate) way to think about reading taste.We all see the world a little differently—and that shapes the stories we're drawn to. Some readers crave structure and epic moral weight. Others want emotional depth, wild imagination, or nonstop momentum. Today, I take 10 of the most common personality types and pair each with two fantasy series that align beautifully with how those readers think, feel, and engage with story.Whether you're duty-driven, big-picture strategic, emotionally intuitive, or just here for the chaos and fun—there's a fantasy series here that fits you.

In today's episode I'm talking about how a failed ski trip taught me a vital lesson about personality "operating systems." By applying Mel Robbins' "Let Them Theory," I realized that what felt like a conflict was actually just a difference in how my friend and I value time and energy. It's a reminder that respecting someone's unique boundaries is the fastest way to better communication and stronger connections.I hope you enjoy it!

"My coworker is a narcissist—and so is our boss. What happens when two narcissists have to work together?" This week's Fan Mail question comes from a YouTube listener who writes: "Thank you for all your content! Very helpful. I am curious to know - what tends to happen when 'a narcissist meets a narcissist' - meaning they are introduced to each other, are coworkers or need to cooperate with each other in some way or even end up being partners? Are there any patterns to or are there typical characteristics/outcomes to this dynamic? Might they not be aware that they are both narcissists?" In this episode, Dr. Kerry breaks down what really happens when two highly narcissistic people enter each other's orbit—whether they fast-bond over shared grandiosity, descend into brutal competition for dominance, or manage an ice-cold alliance for mutual benefit. She explains the collusion-to-competition pipeline, why narcissistic couples can look magnetic but feel exhausting, and why most narcissists will never see themselves the way they see each other.

WOW!!!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:10-17. The argument started small. They always do. A comparison here. A subtle jab there. Then suddenly the whole church in Corinth was splintering into camps — Paul's camp, Apollos' camp, Peter's camp, even a "we only follow Christ" camp said with a smug twist. Division never screams at first. It whispers. Then it fractures. I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. What I mean is that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," or "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Cephas," or "I follow Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else. For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. — 1 Corinthians 1:10–17 Paul doesn't tiptoe around the problem. He hits the heart of the issue. Because when people start attaching their identity to personalities rather than to Christ, unity dies. And Paul slices through the noise with one sharp question: "Is Christ divided?" Of course not. But when Christ isn't at the center, people start choosing sides. Here's the truth Corinth needed — and we need: When Christ is at the center, we won't take sides. Pastors don't unite the church. Preferences don't unite the church. Personalities don't unite the church. Only Jesus does that. So why are the names of your pastor, your preferences, and your personalities so important to you? But when Christ becomes the main thing again. The sides disappear. Comparison fades. Pride quiets. Unity rises. So let this settle deep today: If Christ stays at the center, division loses its power. And said another way — because we need the reminder — When Christ is truly at the center, we refuse to take sides. DO THIS: Reach out to one believer today — someone outside your usual circle. Send encouragement. Build a bridge where a wall once stood. ASK THIS: Where have preferences quietly replaced Christ as the center? Who do you tend to "follow" more closely than Jesus? Is there a person you need to reconcile with for the sake of unity? PRAY THIS: Jesus, keep me centered on You alone. Quiet my pride, crush my comparisons, and make You the center of everything I follow and everything I love. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Make Room"

Whether it's a spouse, our children, our parents, siblings, friends, or coworkers, we don't have a say in whether or not they choose to love us. And whether they love us or not, it says nothing about us and everything about them. It also doesn't say that they are wrong or bad, just that they are a human with their own preferences and wants and desires, and maybe we're just not a good match for them. And that's okay. Learning to make peace with others not loving us is a huge part of growing up into middle-age.

Missed signals are costly; misplaced confidence is worse. We open by unpacking the concrete indicators that war planners watch—carrier deployments, airspace changes, and last‑minute strike deliberations—and what they tell us about the real likelihood of a U.S. hit on Iran. From there, the conversation widens to a quieter battlefield: development frameworks that trade normalization for access. Our guest, Matt Wolfson of the Libertarian Institute, explains how the Isaac Accords mirror the Abraham Accords across Latin America, offering water tech, finance, and modernization while pulling states into a specific geopolitical lane. We trace how these packages play out on the ground—smart cities and smart villages that promise efficiency but often centralize control, displace farmers, and refit local economies around external capital. The throughline is leverage: funding and technology become tools to align foreign policy, not just build infrastructure. Tying this to current flashpoints, we connect Venezuela's isolation and Iran's containment to a paired strategy that narrows options for countries considering alternative blocs. Whether or not missiles fly, the architecture of influence expands through boards, grants, and MOUs. Personalities and networks add sharp edges. Reports pointing to Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller as key drivers reflect long-standing alliances among neoconservatives, Zionist donors, and anti-communist exile circles, stretching from Iran-Contra to today. We weigh that ideological push against a president's resource-first instincts and aversion to quagmires, a tension that explains dramatic reversals and transactional messaging. The big takeaway: sovereignty can erode by clause and contract as surely as by cruise missile. If we care about costs and consequences, we need to scrutinize the financing vehicles and “nonprofit” corridors that precede the headlines. If this breakdown sharpened your lens, follow the show, share it with a friend who tracks foreign policy, and leave a review with the one question you want answered next. Your feedback shapes what we tackle in upcoming episodes.

Mohini Kissoon: How to Break the Cycle of Dominant Personalities in Agile Teams Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "I confused silence with agreement. My silence as a facilitator had been giving the wrong impression to the team: that this kind of dynamic is acceptable." - Mohini Kissoon   In her first year as a Scrum Master, Mohini was full of energy and deeply committed to doing Scrum by the book. She had just earned her certification and joined a mid-sized product team where a senior developer—let's call him Tom—was brilliant but quite dominant. In every session, Tom would speak first, speak longest, and often override the ideas of junior developers. Mohini noticed this pattern but didn't intervene, assuming that Tom's experience and the others' silence meant agreement. Over several sprints, stand-ups became reporting sessions to Tom rather than collaborative planning. Junior developers gradually stopped offering ideas in fear of being shut down. When Mohini finally reached out to the team members individually, one of them was even considering leaving the organization—they felt like "just a cog in the machine." This was the wake-up call Mohini needed. She realized she had been focusing intensely on the mechanics while missing the human dynamics entirely. The solution came through coaching Tom on active listening and introducing facilitation techniques like silent brainstorming and round-robin sharing, giving everyone the opportunity to contribute without being influenced.   Self-reflection Question: When you observe dominant voices silencing others on your team, do you intervene immediately, or do you wait to see if the situation resolves itself—and what does that choice cost your team?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
