Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: The Day the World Changed: Perspectives from Fort Worth and OklahomaSummary: On November 22, 1963, Pete Gregory watched President Kennedy in Fort Worth while his son Paul, a student in Oklahoma, witnessed the news of the assassination. Seeing the suspect on television, Paul instantly recognized Lee Harvey Oswald, realizing the gravity of his connection to the unfolding tragedy.Article: On the morning of November 22, Pete Gregory stood outside the Continental Life Insurance building to watch President Kennedy address a friendly crowd, dispelling fears of right-wing hostility in Texas, before returning to his office where he later learned the President had been shot. Meanwhile, at the University of Oklahoma, Paul Gregory watched Walter Cronkite tearfully announce the President's death before seeing a bruised Lee Harvey Oswald on television, prompting him to tell his classmates, "I know that guy," and immediately concluding that Oswald was likely guilty and had acted alone.

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Last week, Shelley caught up with five more innovators at NRF 2026 to get their takes on the retail industry and an outlook for this year. Their conversations ranged from the connected store and talent development to geolocation analytics and the need for personalization.  Listen and learn from the experts. Matthew Cry transformed his retail leadership experience by leveraging a better way to engage with customers and product with daily insights. “The physical store is the pulse on everything that's happening, connecting your inventory, shoppers, store teams, what's being bought, and what's not being bought. So, we're thinking when a customer is in that moment looking for something, we should be able to show her other products that are available in her size, and we should be saving the sales associate time from not having to do that manually.”Kimberly Minor's explains there is no longer a direct linear career path: “How do we create pathways to new jobs, and how do we prepare people to be flexible so that they are ready when new opportunities open?” She adds “If you're curious about what your future could look like, then you should be curious about what other opportunities are available.”As a professor at FIT and Parsons School of Design, Marie Driscoll distills the underlying trend in retail to the range of AI tools that are aiding the retail practice. Her NRF observations range from Mango , Dick's and LVMH to the K-shaped economy and the challenges of real estate and the luxury market. From a consumer perspective, going into 2026, she says, “I think the consumer is sitting in the best seat. She has so many choices, and the retailers that are creating valuable services for their customers will win.”Dominic Miserandino explores what makes the customer experience joy; he says experiential is a human connection.  As a connector, he adds, “I think we have evolved into a non-experiential, transactional retail culture, meaning DoorDash, press the button; Uber Eats, press the button. And the consumer is saying, yeah, that's awesome.” As an antidote, he adds, “You have to seek the emotional connections of humanity. So, retailers need to think about how they can humanize at scale.”  is the connection among them all.”  Gary Sankary's work on mapping and geo-spatial analytics helps retailers understand why things happen where they do inside and outside stores—everything from the global all the way down to the neighborhood. As a contrarian, he says, “I'm going to be an outlier here and say Agentic AI is not going to innovate; what drives retail success is innovation and design. What AI is helping us do is expand the scope of the things that we can look at.”Matthew Cyr, CEO, Founder, Crave RetailKimberly Minor, CEO Co-Founder, WOC Retail Alliance (WOCRA)Marie Driscoll, TRR Contributor, Professor, FIT, Parsons School of Design Dominic Miserandino, Founder and CEO, RTM NexusGary Sankary,Retail Industry Lead, EsriFor more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Why are there only a handful of companies in the world with over $10 billion in pure-play software revenue? CJ Desai believes the reason is that products are replaceable, but platforms are forever.

You won't want to miss out on hearing from our special guest “truth-teller” this week, on “Pediatric Perspectives.” His name: Peter McCullough, M.D. In this episode, Dr. McCullough shares compelling information on how, years later, COVID is still haunting us. We are facing, in his words, “The biggest problem that humanity has ever tackled.” As Dr. McCullough points out, not only has its treatment been a failure in many ways, but also its “vaccine campaign…will go down as the largest biopharmaceutical debacle in human history.” And yet, helping those impacted has become the “most rewarding thing” from all the years he has been a physician. Watch the exclusive interview on CHD.TV!

In this episode, we explore evolving evidence on anticoagulation after atrial fibrillation ablation, long-term outcomes with immunotherapy for melanoma, and promising new treatments for hepatitis D and triple-negative breast cancer. We review advances in physiologic pacing for heart failure and work through a challenging case involving fever, rash, and neurologic symptoms. An article considers fairness for late-career physicians, and Perspectives discuss misconceptions about autism, access to contraception, and the financial pressures shaping health care.

**This episode was recorded September 29, 2025.On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Chris Coyne speaks with Amy Crockett and Erwin Dekker about how economics shapes our understanding of peace, conflict, and cooperation, drawing on the work of Kenneth Boulding and James Buchanan.First, Coyne speaks with Amy Crockett about her upcoming paper, “Addressing Peace in Undergraduate Economics Textbooks.” Crockett examines how peace is often treated as a background assumption in economics education and presents evidence from introductory and upper-level textbooks on how war, conflict, and policy responses are typically framed, highlighting missed opportunities to emphasize bottom-up, cooperative solutions.Coyne then speaks with Erwin Dekker about his paper, “Kenneth Boulding and James Buchanan on the Public Function of Economics.” Decker discusses how both thinkers understood economics as shaping the public “image” of social life, emphasizing exchange, moral foundations, and the importance of economists addressing citizens rather than policymakers.Together, these conversations show how economic ideas—whether taught in classrooms or communicated to the public—can either reinforce conflict-centered narratives or help sustain cultures of peace and cooperation.This is the fourth episode in a short series of episodes that will feature a collection of authors who contributed to the volume 1, issue 2 of the Markets & Society Journal or to a forthcoming special issue from The Review of Austrian Economics.Dr. Erwin Dekker is Senior Fellow with the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics and a Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Dr. Kathleen Dyer, Dr. Anna Linnehan, and Dr. Mary Jane Weiss for a powerful conversation around their article Fostering Belonging in Autistic Individuals. This was actually the first time I've had three guests on the podcast at once, and it felt like the perfect conversation to mark that milestone.We spent time unpacking the difference between inclusion and true belonging and why simply being “in the room” does not always mean someone feels connected or accepted. As behavior analysts and speech-language pathologists, we've made incredible progress with access, inclusion, and participation, but this conversation challenged us to take a deeper look at the quality of those experiences.We talked about what happens when autistic individuals are included but don't feel they belong, the emotional toll of masking and camouflaging, and the very real systemic barriers that still exist for autistic adults. I also loved hearing how this work grew from their experiences in higher education and from listening closely to autistic individuals and families who shared that they often had to create their own communities.What really stood out to me was how much this conversation aligns with compassionate, individualized care. Belonging looks different for everyone, and if we're not asking about it, observing it, and building it into our assessments and interventions, we're missing something essential. This episode felt like an invitation for our field to stretch, reflect, and evolve, and I'm so grateful to these three leaders for helping start that dialogue.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:The difference between inclusion and true belonging, and why access alone is not enoughHow masking and camouflaging impact mental health and long-term well-beingBarriers autistic adults face in education, employment, and community participationPractical ways clinicians can keep belonging at the center of assessment and interventionMentioned In This Episode:Earn CEUs with a community of peers.

Alison sits down with Alex Crowther, the CEO of Pain Academy, who shares his profound journey of navigating chronic pain and the lessons he's learned along the way. As they embark on this enlightening discussion, they focus on the myriad ways that our perceptions and narratives shape our experiences with pain, especially at a time when many of you are contemplating your goals for the New Year.Alex's story is one of resilience, overcoming despair, and ultimately discovering a new path through pain coaching. Throughout their conversation, they examine the emotional and psychological dimensions of chronic pain, emphasizing the often-overlooked aspect of how our mental narratives can contribute to our physical experiences.Understanding the mechanics of pain is crucial, Alex explains. He shares insights into how our brains process pain signals and how acknowledging our experiences can trigger a path to healing. Alex highlights the importance of reframing the language we use about our pain, shifting our mindset from one of suffering to one of safety and empowerment. He provides practical strategies that he has adopted, such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing techniques, and recognizing triggers that exacerbate pain, to illustrate how small changes can lead to significant improvements in one's quality of life.Their conversation also touches on the inherent isolation that accompanies chronic pain. Alex discusses the power of feeling seen and heard, especially in a medical context where patients often find their voices dismissed. He recounts his experience with a pain coach who validated his struggles, offering the compassionate support that was pivotal in his healing journey. In doing so, Alex encourages listeners to consider seeking out a pain coach or a supportive community to navigate their own pain experiences.HIGHLIGHTS:20:38 Meditation Insights and Techniques33:15 Connecting with Pain Coaching34:06 Final Thoughts on Self-Care Journeyconnect with Alex:website: https://paincoachacademy.comfind a coach: https://paincoachacademy.com/pca-alumniSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024 ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

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.

What does it mean to say that “In the beginning was the Word” … and why does it still matter? That's what's being asked in this episode of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast. In this first conversation of a five-part series on the Gospel of John, Revs. Trudy and Hannah explore John 1:1 and the theme “The Eternal Now – God Beyond Time.” Together, they unpack John’s poetic and often confusing language to discover a radical idea at the heart of the Gospel: Eternity doesn’t pull us out of the world; God brings eternity into it. Drawing from Jewish wisdom traditions, Greek philosophy, and early Christian theology, this progressive Christian Bible study from First United Methodist Church of San Diego invites listeners to see the Gospel of John not as rigid dogma, but as a story of surprise, disruption, and divine presence in unexpected places. You’ll hear reflections on: What “the Word” (Logos) meant across Jewish, Greek, and early Christian cultures Why John begins with creation instead of Jesus’ birth Eternity as a present reality … not just a future promise Rethinking Jesus’ “I Am” statements beyond exclusion and certainty God’s ongoing work of creation within and around our life – even in chaos, doubt, and struggle Continue the conversation with these reflection questions: What does eternity mean to you? How does eternity change your understanding of today, tomorrow or the future? How do you understand Jesus as being the Word of God, and what does it has to do with us?

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Shelley caught up with four innovators at NRF 2026 to get their takes on the retail industry and an outlook for this year. Their conversations ranged from managing returns and geo-location insights to advanced tools for managing inventory.  Listen and learn from the experts. Tim Robinson has interesting insights on a significant challenge for retailers, especially, post-holiday: returns.  Ethan Chernofsky provides critical analytics to retailers on the implications of traffic patterns in physical stores.  He says, “Visit durations are down but the number of visits for every category per customer is going up. So, value, product, experience, and brand affinity have a lot more significance.” Jay Hakami has innovated a novel tech platform that is predictive and helps retailers manage inventories. He says, “Today, with Agentic AI, we're getting into the predictive side going into dynamic planning and allocation.

God’s love is better than you’ve been told—and His goodness is the key to your God-given dreams. In this powerful episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine dismantles religious lies about God and reveals a Father who only gives good and perfect gifts, never evil or punishment in disguise. So many of us have been taught to fear our desires, to distrust our hearts, and to wonder if God is secretly against us. Catherine walks us through James 1 and other key scriptures to show that God is never the source of temptation, shame, or destruction—He is the Father of lights, with no shadow of turning. From there, she explores how our true identity in Christ is good, holy, and beloved, even while we’re still a “work in process.” You’ll hear how sin is really a distorted image problem that leads to behaviors that bring death—but your original design in Christ is untouched, rooted in eternal love. Out of that identity, God has planted dreams in you that reflect His heart. He actually wants you to enjoy life, to experience heaven on earth, and to walk in spiritual transformation as you partner with Him. Catherine also shares how a playful, dancing God (Proverbs 8) delights in you, gives you “richly all things to enjoy,” and invites you into a lifestyle of experiencing God in everyday desires, choices, and dreams. This isn’t performance-based religion—it’s awakened sonship and daughterhood. Practical takeaway: Ask Holy Spirit to highlight one deep desire you’ve secretly doubted. Write it down, renounce the lie that God is against it, and pray: “Father, let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this area of my life.” Then listen for how He wants to walk it out with you.

The Tell Me More crew kicks off a new semester at First Baptist Arlington with Luke back in the studio, a fresh staff structure, and a renewed focus on “the path of life”—the narrow road of discipleship to Jesus. After some light banter and life updates (including a whale-watching trip to Monterey and a memorable Pebble Beach outing), the conversation turns to heavier, timely themes: cultural polarization, how everyday decisions can escalate or de-escalate conflict, and why the church's most urgent work is still making disciples.From there, the group unpacks Sunday's sermon emphasis on formation: the world is constantly shaping people (often through “spooky algorithms,” surveillance capitalism, and parasocial online influence), so following Jesus requires intentional counter-formation through spiritual practices and community. They explore what “flourishing” means biblically—distinct from prosperity or ease—highlighting that faithful discipleship can include suffering, persecution, and sacrifice, while still being a life marked by God's presence, purpose, and fruitfulness. A vivid story about “Umaru,” a persecuted evangelist in West Africa, anchors this definition of flourishing.The episode closes with practical next steps for listeners: Midweek programming is starting (kids, students, Perspectives, care groups, and more), and the church is launching daily Bible readings/devotional guides delivered by email to help members stay rooted on “The Jesus Way.”

There's a specific perverse pleasure in watching a murder mystery show that knows exactly when to let you feel confident and exactly when to pull that confidence out from under you. Netflix's “His & Hers” does that trick over and over again. You think you've got a handle on it. You start building your little internal conspiracy corkboard. Then it quietly slides one detail out of place, and suddenly the whole picture looks different.The series follows Anna (Tessa Thompson), a once‑prominent journalist who returns to her hometown just as a murder investigation begins to unravel long‑buried secrets. Told through competing points of view between Anna and her estranged husband, Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal), the show builds its tension around who controls the narrative, and what happens when truth becomes a weapon rather than a destination. The ensemble cast also includes Jon Bernthal, Pablo Schreiber, Marin Ireland, Sunita Mani, and more.

What does baptism really mean—and why was Jesus baptized at all? That’s what Revs. Trudy and Brittany tackle in this episode of Perspectivs FUMCSD Pastors Podcast. The two female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego explore Jesus’ baptism in Matthew 3:13–17 through a progressive Christian lens. Together, they reflect on baptism as both a risk we take when we step toward God and a commitment we live out as we step back into the world. This thoughtful conversation explores the dynamic relationship between Jesus and John the Baptist, the symbolism of the Jordan River, and why Jesus’ baptism wasn’t about sin but about solidarity, humility, and embarking on a new chapter. The pastors also unpack why the baptism ritual still matters today, especially in progressive faith communities. Whether you identify as Christian, spiritual-but-not-religious, or are simply curious about faith beyond dogma, this episode invites you to reimagine baptism as a reminder that you are already loved and still being called forward. Episode topics include: Why Jesus insisted on being baptized Repentance vs. transformation Water, movement, and new life Is baptism required for salvation? Communal ritual and remembering our baptism today Continue the conversation with friends and family, at our in-person Convergence group, or online at our Patreon channel with these suggested reflection and discussion questions: What do you believe is the connection between sin and new life? What do we gain, and what do we lose, in the belief that Jesus was sinless? Why do you think Jesus was baptized by God? Short on time?

How Did the Average Israelite View Jesus?: We all see Jesus differently! Over the past two weeks we've explored how the Romans dismissed His ministry and the Jewish religious leaders of His day considered it a threat. But the common Jewish people were much more interested in our Savior. We hear about “The People of the Land,” the average Israelites ...

Sous le commandement de Donald Trump, l'opération « Absolute Resolve » (Détermination Absolue) au Venezuela a créé une onde de choc mondiale avec des conséquences économiques majeures, bien au-delà des questions pétrolières et énergétiques. Pour la Chine (partenaire historique de Caracas), les autres BRICS, les potentielles cibles américaines (Groenland, Canada, Cuba) et les investisseurs du monde entier, un océan d'incertitudes se profile. Éco d'ici Éco d'ailleurs donne la parole aux experts. Les invités de l'émission Christopher Dembik, macroéconomiste, conseiller en stratégie d'investissement chez Pictet Asset Management Alicia Garcia-Herrero, cheffe économiste pour la zone Asie-Pacifique de la Banque Natixis (basée à Hong-Kong) Philippe Sébille-Lopez, directeur du cabinet Géopolia, spécialiste des marchés pétroliers Margot François, chercheuse à l'Institut français de géopolitique et analyste chez Cassini, experte de l'économie cubaine Cléa Broadhurst, correspondante permanente de RFI à Pékin   Le pétrole vénézuélien : un eldorado complexe Des réserves impressionnantes mais problématiques Le Venezuela possède théoriquement 300 milliards de barils de réserves, principalement dans le fleuve Orénoque, ce qui le placerait au premier rang mondial. Cependant, ces chiffres sont contestés et peu vérifiables. Les défis du pétrole vénézuélien Huile extra-lourde : très visqueuse et très soufrée, nécessitant un traitement particulier Coûts élevés : investissements nécessaires entre 60 et 80 dollars par baril Infrastructure vétuste : années de sous-investissement sous sanctions Raffinage complexe : vendu avec une forte décote sur le marché Un intérêt stratégique pour les États-Unis L'outil de raffinage américain est équipé à 70% pour traiter du brut lourd. Le pétrole vénézuélien correspond parfaitement à ces installations, ce qui explique l'intérêt stratégique au-delà de la simple production. « Nous avons construit l'industrie pétrolière vénézuélienne grâce au talent, au dynamisme et aux compétences des Américains. Et le régime socialiste nous l'a volé en recourant à la force. » - Donald Trump La dimension géopolitique Avant l'intervention, 80% de la production vénézuélienne partait vers la Chine. La Russie, via Rosneft, était également très présente. Pour Washington, il s'agit autant de reprendre le contrôle que d'empêcher les concurrents d'y accéder. Impact sur la Chine : premier acheteur menacé Une relation économique majeure en péril La Chine avait prêté environ 60 milliards de dollars au régime vénézuélien, principalement sous Chavez, sous forme de prêts gagés sur des productions futures de brut. Les compagnies chinoises étaient devenues les principaux acheteurs du pétrole vénézuélien. Conséquences immédiates Le pétrole vénézuélien arrivant en Chine est déjà vendu avec des rabais et passe par des circuits logistiques compliqués. Si Washington bloque ou inspecte les cargaisons, les coûts augmenteront considérablement : assurances plus chères, délais plus longs, risques juridiques accrus. Les raffineurs indépendants chinois, appelés « teapots », qui vivent sur les marges, seront particulièrement touchés. Le baril vénézuélien devient « un baril plus compliqué et plus cher ». « La Chine est profondément choquée et condamne fermement l'utilisation éhontée de la force contre un État souverain. Cela constitue une violation grave du droit international. »- Porte-parole du gouvernement chinois Révision stratégique en Amérique latine L'intervention envoie un signal clair à toute la région. Les gouvernements et entreprises doivent désormais calculer : « Si je fais un gros deal chinois dans un secteur sensible, est-ce que j'attire une pression américaine ? » La Chine ne va pas abandonner l'Amérique latine facilement. La région représente des investissements de près de 200 milliards de dollars dans les minéraux critiques, terres rares, or et argent. Cuba : une économie au bord du précipice Une crise structurelle aggravée L'économie cubaine, déjà en crise permanente depuis la chute de l'URSS, risque le coup fatal. Cuba dépend fortement du pétrole vénézuélien pour son système énergétique vétuste. La situation cubaine Dépendance énergétique : les livraisons vénézuéliennes étaient déjà réduites depuis 2017 Réseau électrique défaillant : coupures de courant quotidiennes, en province on parle "d'allumage de courant" Crise démographique : population passée de 11,2 millions à 9,75 millions (voire 8 millions selon des observateurs) Exode massif : 850 000 Cubains entrés aux États-Unis entre 2021 et 2023 « Cuba est un désastre. Il n'y a pas d'économie. Elle s'est complètement effondrée. Tous les gardes qui ont aidé à protéger Maduro étaient cubains. Les Vénézuéliens devraient déclarer leur indépendance vis-à-vis de Cuba. » - Marco Rubio, Secrétaire d'État américain Risque de crise sociale majeure Les manifestations de juillet 2021, les premières de grande ampleur depuis la révolution, ont été sévèrement réprimées. L'inflation galopante, les pénuries alimentaires, la fin progressive des subventions d'État créent un terreau fertile pour un mécontentement social explosif. Le Groenland : la prochaine cible Au-delà du pétrole : les minerais critiques Le Groenland regorge de ressources stratégiques : terres rares, cuivre, or, uranium, et potentiellement pétrole offshore. Ces minerais sont essentiels pour les industries de pointe, l'aéronautique, le spatial et l'intelligence artificielle. Une stratégie d'acquisition multiforme Les États-Unis disposent de nombreux leviers : pression économique sur le Danemark, proposition d'accords type Porto Rico, exploitation du souhait d'indépendance d'une partie des Groenlandais (environ 30% de l'électorat). La réaction européenne sera probablement limitée, l'Union européenne n'ayant ni l'unité ni les moyens militaires pour s'opposer à Washington. Implications économiques mondiales Le libre-échange fragilisé Au-delà des tarifs douaniers qui préoccupaient déjà en 2025, le monde découvre une "course aux riches et aux ressources" avec une dimension militaire. Cette nouvelle réalité fragilise considérablement le commerce international. Le risque de dédollarisation Les grandes économies, y compris l'Inde, s'inquiètent de l'utilisation du dollar dans leurs transactions. L'intervention au Venezuela pourrait accélérer la recherche d'alternatives monétaires. Cependant, la dédollarisation reste un processus lent. Le dollar demeure dominant dans les transferts internationaux et les réserves mondiales. Historiquement, les transitions monétaires nécessitent soit une guerre, soit une période d'hyperinflation. Le nationalisme métallique La véritable confrontation entre puissances ne porte pas sur la guerre commerciale, mais sur l'accès aux ressources essentielles. L'intelligence artificielle nécessite de l'énergie à bas coût et des minerais critiques. Cette course aux matériaux définit la géopolitique de 2026. Zones à surveiller Myanmar (Birmanie) : régime militaire soutenu par la Chine, riche en ressources Pakistan (Gwadar) : port stratégique pour la Chine dans le cadre des nouvelles routes de la soie Canal de Panama : route commerciale critique évoquée par l'administration Trump Honduras et Paraguay : enjeux autour de la reconnaissance de Taïwan Perspectives pour les investisseurs Le Venezuela : un pari très risqué Malgré les déclarations optimistes, le Venezuela reste extrêmement incertain. Les infrastructures sont vétustes, la corruption endémique, et la situation politique imprévisible. Les investissements nécessitent une vision à dix ans minimum. Certains fonds spéculatifs américains s'intéressent déjà aux obligations d'État vénézuéliennes, qui ont bien performé ces derniers mois. Mais ce sont des stratégies à très haut risque, réservées aux professionnels. Prudence régionale Les investisseurs adoptent une approche prudente sur l'ensemble de l'Amérique latine. Le risque n'est plus seulement la corruption classique des pays émergents, mais un vrai risque d'instabilité géopolitique et d'intervention américaine. La dette vénézuélienne En cas de stabilisation du pays, la dette vénézuélienne pourrait devenir attractive. Cependant, de nombreux obstacles subsistent : contrôles de capitaux stricts, incertitudes juridiques, et nécessité de réformes profondes. Conclusion : l'ère du nationalisme des ressources L'opération "Absolute Resolve" marque un tournant dans la géopolitique mondiale. Elle révèle une doctrine américaine claire : contrôler "l'hémisphère occidental" et ses ressources, éjecter les concurrents chinois et russes de la zone d'influence américaine. Cette approche s'inscrit dans une vision d'"aires civilisationnelles", rappelant la doctrine Monroe du XIXe siècle. Les États-Unis affirment leur droit à dominer leur sphère géographique, comme la Russie le fait avec l'espace slave et la Chine avec sa région. Pour les investisseurs et les entreprises, le monde devient plus fragmenté et plus risqué. Les matières premières, les minerais critiques et les routes commerciales définissent les nouveaux champs de bataille économiques. Cette réalité va structurer l'économie mondiale en 2026 et au-delà. « L'avenir sera déterminé par notre capacité à protéger le commerce, les territoires et les ressources qui sont essentielles à notre sécurité nationale. Tout comme les droits de douane, ils permettent à notre pays de s'enrichir. » - Donald Trump

Welcome back to Lawyer Talk! On this special edition episode, hosts Steve Palmer and law student Troy Henricksen tackle the breaking and deeply tragic shooting involving an ICE officer in Minnesota.With raw emotion running high and the social media machine already passing judgment, Steve Palmer and Troy Henricksen set out to strip away the noise and confusion, providing a clear analysis of what actually happens legally after a police shooting like this.They look into the critical difference between how the law treats deadly force by a civilian versus a police officer, walking through self-defense standards, justification defenses, and landmark Supreme Court rulings like Graham v. Connor.You'll hear them debate both sides, untangle the legal elements involved, and explore what it means when state and federal authorities disagree on prosecuting an ICE agent.Most importantly, they break it all down without the politics—just the facts, legal standards, and framework you need to better understand the chaos and complexity when headlines erupt after a law enforcement shooting.As always, they're here not to take sides, but to help you make sense of the process.Moments00:00 "Civilian Self-Defense Legal Analysis"03:44 "Ohio Self-Defense Laws Explained"07:08 Self-Defense or Fault?10:47 "Understanding Real-Time Defendant Perspective"13:00 "Justification Defense in Murder Case"16:18 "Reasonableness of Police Force"19:52 The Dangers of Police Chases24:05 "Debating Crime Severity in Law"28:29 "Justified Force and Legal Debate"29:58 "Dual Sovereignty and Prosecution"35:23 "Analytical Framework for Complex Decisions"Key Takeaways:Legal Standards Are Crucial: Emotional reactions are expected, but the real decisions will follow established legal standards. The actions of law enforcement are viewed under a different framework than those of civilians, making the analysis more nuanced than social media quick takes might suggest.Objective Reasonableness Is the Benchmark: In police shooting cases, courts rely on the "objective reasonableness" standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court (Graham v. Connor). This means the officer's actions are judged by what a reasonable officer would do under tense, split-second circumstances—not perfect hindsight.Jurisdictional Complexities Can Shape Outcomes: Even if the federal government decides not to charge the officer, Minnesota authorities might still pursue prosecution. However, immunity issues and federal supremacy mean any state-level charges could lead to complicated federal-court battles over whether the officer was acting within the scope of federal duties.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

What if the biggest threat to your consulting success isn't competition or market shifts—but your own irresistible urge to help... for free? In this candid conversation on the Inside Personal Growth podcast, pioneering purpose-driven leader Kevin W. McCarthy—author of classics like The On-Purpose Person and Chief Leadership Officer—reveals the raw truth behind his provocative new book, No Brain Picking: 26 Invaluable Perspectives Independent Consultants Need for Satisfaction, Success, and Profitability.

From the dopamine rush of free advice that fades in minutes (while bills pile up) to the classic mistake of selling your fancy "nail gun" tools when clients really just need a solid roof, he shares battle-tested insights that will make you wonder: Are you accidentally sabotaging your own profitability? What Listeners Can Learn Listeners—especially independent consultants, coaches, entrepreneurs, and anyone monetizing expertise—will discover how to: - Set firm boundaries against "brain-picking" without losing your generous spirit. - Shift from being an expert who "happens to have a business" to a true business owner who consults on purpose. - Escape the dopamine hit of unpaid advice and build systems for real profitability. - Reframe your value: Stop pushing certifications and tools; start delivering outcomes clients crave. - Balance four key competencies (expertise, business acumen, leadership, and purpose) to create a sustainable, referral-driven practice that brings satisfaction and financial freedom. If you've ever felt drained from giving away your best ideas... this episode might just be the wake-up call that transforms your practice forever. Our Guest, Kevin W.
