Sanctuary on the Moon est une initiative internationale visant à créer une capsule temporelle. Il s'agit de graver sur des disques des dessins et des textes qui reflètent « ce que l'on est, ce que l'on sait, ce que l'on fait aujourd'hui » pour ensuite les déposer sur la Lune avec une prochaine mission de la NASA et qu'ils y restent « pour qu'un jour des archéologues puissent les retrouver et comprendre comment notre civilisation était en 2020, 2030 ».L'objectif est de garder des traces de l'humanité telle qu'elle existe aujourd'hui dans des milliers, voire des millions, d'années à venir. Des collégiens de notre partenaire Eco Radio, du collège Vincent Van Gogh, à Blénod-lès-Pont-à-Mousson, en France, ont reçu trois invités pour parler du projet et du concours « Les enfants de la planète Terre » : Hélène Pierson, rédactrice scientifique de Sanctuary on the Moon, Juliette Sardet de la Commission nationale française pour l'UNESCO, et Guillaume Monnain, illustrateur spécialisé dans la vulgarisation scientifique.Dans cet entretien, ils expliquent ce qu'est le projet Sanctuary on the Moon etcomment les enfants sont impliqués dans ce projet à travers un concours sélectionnant des dessins qui seront envoyés sur la Lune.

What if one of the most underutilized profit levers in your business… is already sitting right in front of you? In this episode, I sit down with membership and community strategist Becky Pierson Davidson to unpack how most business owners are leaving massive revenue - and retention - on the table by focusing on the wrong things. Most people think they have a marketing problem… When in reality, they have a retention and experience problem.

If you've ever felt like you're working too hard to bring people in… or like your offers aren't compounding the way they should… this episode will completely shift how you think about growth.

Yitzchak Pierson dives into the science and strategy behind habit formation, showing how small, intentional changes can create massive long-term results in both business and life. He breaks down the habit loop—cue, routine, reward—and shares real examples of how he replaced unproductive behaviors with intentional routines, including simple tactics like making bad habits harder and good habits easier to execute. Yitzchak emphasizes that transformation doesn't come from drastic changes, but from consistent, repeatable actions that compound over time. He introduces concepts like neuroplasticity to explain how habits literally reshape the brain, and encourages agents to adopt lifelong learning as a core habit for success. The session also highlights tools like creating an “accomplishment board” to reinforce progress and build momentum, helping shift focus from where you are to how far you've come. If you're ready to level up your discipline, eliminate distractions, and create habits that actually stick, this episode gives you a simple, practical roadmap.
At RSAC Conference 2026, Dr. Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO of BlackCloak, sat down with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli for a conversation that has become something of an annual tradition. What started in 2018 as a category BlackCloak largely invented -- digital executive protection -- has become one of the most pressing concerns in enterprise security. Adversaries have figured out that the easiest path into a company often runs straight through the personal lives of its leaders: the About Us page, the board listing, the family members visible on social media. BlackCloak was built to close that gap. BlackCloak announced at RSAC Conference 2026 the launch of its new travel advisory platform -- a tool designed to give executives and their families actionable, real-time intelligence when traveling domestically or internationally. Pierson explained that CISOs and CSOs are increasingly being asked questions that go well beyond network security: what are the crime trends in this city, what embassy contacts are needed, which areas should be avoided? The platform distills complex, fast-moving threat intelligence into concise briefings -- four or five pages, mobile-accessible, and built for the executive and the family members traveling alongside them. On the privacy side, BlackCloak introduced Search Suppression -- a new feature that goes further than data broker removal alone. Even after information is scrubbed from the major data broker sites, traces of personally identifiable information can persist across the open internet. Search Suppression identifies those instances and requests their removal from search engine results, shrinking the digital footprint that attackers use to build targeted OSINT profiles. And because the threat surface shifts as executives' children age and begin generating their own data trails, the platform monitors continuously -- not just at a single point in time. Pierson also addressed the deepfake threat head-on. BlackCloak re-released its Impersonation Protection feature with deeper capabilities specifically designed for this problem. Plugin-based detection tools for Teams or Zoom leave the most common attack vectors -- phone calls, text messages, WhatsApp, Signal -- completely unaddressed. Impersonation Protection allows members to push a quick identity-verification request through the BlackCloak app to anyone in their trusted circle, regardless of how the original communication arrived. If verification fails, alarm notifications fire to both the CISO and the BlackCloak team. In a world where high-quality deepfake audio and video can be synthesized from publicly available earnings call recordings and media appearances, slowing down to verify through a trusted channel is one of the most reliable defenses available. The conversation closed on the concept of trust -- a word Pierson returned to repeatedly. It is, he said, the reason people choose BlackCloak. The relationships the company builds with CISOs, CSOs, and the executives and families they protect require trust that is built carefully and maintained continuously. As BlackCloak scales, preserving that culture is something Pierson thinks about deeply. For a company whose entire business is built on protecting people in their most personal digital spaces, trust is not just a value. It is the product. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.

Yitzchak Pierson shares a powerful 30-minute session on overcoming the internal barriers that hold agents back from reaching their full potential. From his journey as a 7th-grade dropout to becoming a successful real estate broker, Yitzchak breaks down the mindset shifts required to grow in both business and life. He dives into common obstacles like self-limiting beliefs, resistance to change, and outdated thinking patterns—challenging agents to step خارج their comfort zone and into the “fear zone” where real growth happens. Yitzchak also introduces practical exercises like reframing fears, writing down goals, and listing personal wins to build confidence and clarity. This episode is a reminder that success starts internally—and that with the right mindset, discipline, and vision, anything is possible.
The lawsuits filed against Leon Black in connection with Jeffrey Epstein are among the most graphic and disturbing to emerge from Epstein's orbit. Several women, including Cheri Pierson and a plaintiff identified as Jane Doe, accuse Black of violent sexual assaults that allegedly took place inside Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. Pierson claims Black raped her in 2002 after Epstein arranged what was supposed to be a massage appointment, describing the encounter as brutal and coercive. Another lawsuit alleges Black sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl with autism and Down syndrome, leaving her bleeding and traumatized. Both cases portray Black as a predator who exploited Epstein's network to target vulnerable women, echoing the broader pattern of abuse associated with Epstein's inner circle. Black's legal team has vehemently denied all allegations, dismissing the claims as false and opportunistic.Compounding the scandal is Black's series of high-dollar settlements and legal maneuvering. In 2023, he quietly paid $62.5 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands to avoid potential litigation tied to Epstein's trafficking operations there. He also succeeded in getting parts of other lawsuits dismissed on procedural grounds, including a defamation case brought by former model Guzel Ganieva, which was thrown out in early 2025. Still, the volume and nature of the claims — combined with his massive financial ties to Epstein and the Senate Finance Committee's scrutiny of his payments — have left Black mired in controversy. The lawsuits' explicit, violent allegations and the perception of systemic leniency have solidified his position as one of the most controversial figures to emerge from Epstein's shadow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
In dieser Folge gehen Leon und Atze der wohl zerstörerischsten menschlichen Emotion auf den Grund: Hass. Was genau ist Hass – und warum empfinden wir ihn überhaupt, wenn er doch so viel Schaden anrichten kann? Was unterscheidet ihn von Wut oder Verachtung? Und warum hält er oft so lange an und richtet sich nicht selten gegen Menschen, die uns einmal besonders nah waren? Außerdem sprechen die beiden darüber, warum Hass ansteckend sein kann, welche Rolle er in gesellschaftlichen Konflikten spielt und wie er uns manchmal vielleicht sogar helfen kann.

The Law of "Mine": 5 Surprising Realities About PropertyProperty law is a complex riddle, less intuitive than commonly believed. It is not about objects but about the invisible legal relationships defining who can use and transfer assets.1. Property Isn't a Thing—It's a RelationshipOwnership is a three-way social relationship: owner to thing, others to thing, and owner to others. Property is the legally-backed power to exclude others, not merely the object itself.2. Why Chasing the Fox Isn't Enough (The Rule of Capture)The rule from Pierson v. Post mandates Actual Possession (physical seizure) for ownership of a wild animal, not mere pursuit. This clear rule prioritizes certainty and peace over rewarding labor alone.3. Finders Keepers? (The Doctrine of Relativity of Title)The principle is "First-in-Time, First-in-Right." In Armory v. Delamirie, the court established the Relativity of Title: a possessor has a better right to an object than a stranger, though inferior to the True Owner. This stability is necessary for commerce.4. The Floor Matters: The Weird Logic of "Lost" vs. "Mislaid"The locus in quo (place of finding) determines title. Lost Property (unintentionally dropped) generally belongs to the finder. Mislaid Property (intentionally placed, then forgotten) goes to the premises owner. This distinction aims to facilitate the item's return to the True Owner.5. The "Snooze and Lose" Rule (Adverse Possession)This provocative doctrine allows a trespasser to gain title by using the land for a statutory period. It punishes the "sleeping" owner and rewards the productive user, ultimately serving to "quiet titles" and cure conveyancing errors.ConclusionProperty law is a dynamic field constantly adapting. As assets become abstract (digital/genetic data), the ancient logic of capture and possession faces new challenges in the 21st century.
Maple Park Church Sermon - Third Sunday in Lent - Speaker David Pierson - March 8th, 2026 by Maple Park Church
Yitzchak Pierson shares his journey of building a successful real estate career by focusing on one core principle: personal development drives professional growth. In this powerful session, he breaks down the habits, systems, and standards that helped him achieve over $13 million in annual sales volume and invest hundreds of hours into continuing education.From exceeding client expectations and mastering communication to implementing SMART goals and structured calendar systems, Yitzchak emphasizes discipline, consistency, and small daily improvements. He introduces his “Wheel of Life” framework—balancing purpose, wellness, relationships, and business—and explains why true success comes from aligning all areas of life, not just chasing production.This episode is a blueprint for agents who want to elevate their standards, embrace continuous learning, leverage AI and systems, and commit to becoming 1% better every day.
I brought back Becky Pierson Davidson to compare notes on where community is headed — and we found a few areas of disagreement. Becky works with 6, 7, and 8-figure businesses helping them build memberships and courses through design thinking and customer research, and she's seeing a major shift right now: course businesses are slowing down, and the smart ones are pivoting to membership models. The difference? Shared learning experiences are replacing self-paced education. Community is what people stay for. We dig into the real mechanics: how to set expectations that don't feel like a bait-and-switch, why meaningful engagement isn't what most people think it is, the mastermind paradox (increases retention, decreases forum activity), and why in-person events might be the most important retention lever you're not using. Becky's hot take for 2026: content drops are dying. People don't need more stuff — they need connection and programming that moves them forward.

The session began with a fun personal update, as Autumn shared excitement about an upcoming gender reveal for her daughter and son-in-law visiting from Tucson—reminding us that community and family are always part of the journey. Yitzchak Pierson then led a powerful training: “AI-Ready Real Estate Agent Skills You Must Have for 2027.” His message was clear—AI will enhance agents, not replace them. The future belongs to agents who master trust-building, interpretation, local authority, decision guidance, visibility, and system thinking. He encouraged agents to delegate low-value tasks, leverage AI for efficiency, and double down on the human elements that build confidence and connection. The key takeaway: clarity, relevance, and trust will define long-term success in the AI-driven real estate landscape.
In this episode, Yitzchak Pierson breaks down how real estate agents can leverage AI-powered SEO to stay visible in a changing search landscape. He explains how buyers are using AI to research homes, why public-facing content matters, and how to optimize profiles across platforms like Google Business, YouTube, and Zillow. Yitzchak shares practical strategies for creating clear, local, question-based content that builds trust, boosts credibility, and helps agents show up where AI is pulling information in today's search results.

"The enemy is not at the gate—the enemy has infiltrated our classrooms." Join host Robert Bortins for the first episode in a powerful School Choice Week series as he sits down with Dr. Joshua Pierson, who contributed to "Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education and How We Can Win It Back." In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Pierson—a retiring counterintelligence agent with 25 years of experience—reveals the shocking history of Soviet infiltration into American education. Drawing from his extensively researched appendix, he traces a direct line from 1917 Soviet intelligence operations to today's classroom controversies. Dr. Pierson exposes how Soviet strategist Willi Münzenberg architected a century-long disinformation campaign targeting American education, media, and government. He explains how Columbia Teachers College became a hub for communist influence, and why influential educators like John Dewey and George Counts became "useful idiots" after visiting carefully staged Potemkin villages in Soviet Russia. The conversation explores why communist ideology persists generations after its architects have died, how tactics like ANDEMKA (Admit Nothing, Deny Everything, Make Counter Accusation) still shape today's debates, and why accepting government funding transforms institutions into "agents of the state." From SEL programs to modern educational policy, discover how the Soviets succeeded in their strategy beyond their wildest expectations—and what Americans were willfully ignorant about as it happened. This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education—And How We Can Win It Back – A new book written by Robert Bortins and Alex Newman.

Warren Pierson, co-chief investment officer at Baird Funds, says that investors should be concerned with factors like rate cuts, the independence of the Federal Reserve, sticky inflation and more, but in spite of all of those factors, "We still see good value in the bond market ... and investors don't have to take a lot of risk to get that value." He discusses how to unlock that value and much more in the Big Interview. On the stock market front, Lawrence McMillan, president of McMillan Analysis and editor of the MarketWatch Options Trader, says he is bullish about stocks right now, with most technical indicators pointing upward. McMillan does expect the market to broaden out and says volatility may increase but so long as the VIX volatility index doesn't show too much stress, he thinks the rally can continue. The Book Interview today makes a rare foray into fiction, as author Frank Hamlin discusses his novel, "Skinny Dipping at Low Tide: A Saga of Squeezed Shorts, Shattered Dreams, and Embarrassing Riches" The book, released today, is fashioned loosely on GameStop and other meme stock situations — Hamlin was working at GameStop when it became a popular meme stock — and delves into what happens on the inside of a company when its stock goes viral and the fortunes of investors seem disconnected from business operations and tied entirely to sentiment.

In this episode of WAHNcast, hosts Angie Truitt and Ashley Northcutt sit down with Julia Pierson, Executive Director of the Consortium for Housing and Asset Management (CHAM) and one of the most respected voices in affordable housing. Julia reflects on her four-decade career, from her start as a HUD intern to becoming a nationally recognized leader shaping the field of asset management. Julia breaks down what asset management really is, why it matters, and how strong partnerships between owners, syndicators, lenders, and HFAs can mean the difference between stable properties and those at risk. She also discusses the evolution of the field, the growing demand for skilled asset managers, and the importance of technical knowledge paired with strong soft skills. As Julia prepares for her upcoming retirement, she shares her vision for CHAM's future, the culture she has intentionally cultivated, and why she believes “housing policy is human policy.” This conversation is full of insight, clarity, humor, and heart, just like Julia herself.
With six years of experience navigating most of the metro's busiest and most dynamic corridors, Pierson followed in his father's footsteps into transit and draws on early experiences helping his blind grandmother navigate Chicago's bus system. Known for his calm under pressure and passion for urban life, Pierson sees public transit as essential, especially during times of crisis, and takes pride in helping the city move forward, one ride at a time.

This week on Transmissions, Kate Pierson, vocalist and keyboardist of The B-52s. Writing about the legendary Atlanta band, AD founder Justin Gage says, “The B-52's 1979 debut album ushered in a practically fully formed sound/band. No one else was doing this…whatever ‘this' was.” Indeed, The B-52s created a one-of-a-kind sound, blending punk, funk, and art-pop, and while they broke into the mainstream with ubiquitous radio hits, they never sacrificed their avant-garde edge. This fall, the band embarked on a co-headlining tour with Devo—we recorded this talk just before they departed on the jaunt—and last week, Kate Pierson released a cover of Patti Smith's “People Have The Power!” featuring the Uniting Voices Chicago teen choir. Benefiting the choir and the anti-gun violence organization Sandy Hook Promise, the recording reifies Pierson's radical bonafides. Pierson joins us for a loose chat about her life in art, solo projects, and the band's longtime association with Devo. Along the way, we get into their status as queer icons and reflected on the passing of Julee Cruise, the Twin Peaks vocalist who also served as a member of The B-52s. Transmissions is created in partnership with the Talkhouse Podcast Network. We're brought to you by Aquarium Drunkard, an independent music media crew headed by Justin Gage. Over at Aquarium Drunkard, you'll gain access to 20 years of music writing, playlist, essays, mixtapes, radio special, podcasts, videos and more.
Today Alyshia sits down with Pierson Fodé: an actor who you likely have seen all over your Netflix homepage this year. Pierson breaks down the brutal soap-opera contract that became the "best acting bootcamp" he ever had, memorizing up to 120 pages a day, and how he later reinvented himself as an actor to shake casting directors' "soapy" perceptions. We also get into why he loves self tapes including the unconventional farm-boy slate that impressed James Gunn during his Superman audition. He shares his audition approach and belief that hard work is your luck in this industry. Pierson now stars in Netflix's upcoming holiday rom-com A Merry Little Ex-Mas and recently led Netflix's #1 film worldwide The Wrong Paris.

The lawsuits filed against Leon Black in connection with Jeffrey Epstein are among the most graphic and disturbing to emerge from Epstein's orbit. Several women, including Cheri Pierson and a plaintiff identified as Jane Doe, accuse Black of violent sexual assaults that allegedly took place inside Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. Pierson claims Black raped her in 2002 after Epstein arranged what was supposed to be a massage appointment, describing the encounter as brutal and coercive. Another lawsuit alleges Black sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl with autism and Down syndrome, leaving her bleeding and traumatized. Both cases portray Black as a predator who exploited Epstein's network to target vulnerable women, echoing the broader pattern of abuse associated with Epstein's inner circle. Black's legal team has vehemently denied all allegations, dismissing the claims as false and opportunistic.Compounding the scandal is Black's series of high-dollar settlements and legal maneuvering. In 2023, he quietly paid $62.5 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands to avoid potential litigation tied to Epstein's trafficking operations there. He also succeeded in getting parts of other lawsuits dismissed on procedural grounds, including a defamation case brought by former model Guzel Ganieva, which was thrown out in early 2025. Still, the volume and nature of the claims — combined with his massive financial ties to Epstein and the Senate Finance Committee's scrutiny of his payments — have left Black mired in controversy. The lawsuits' explicit, violent allegations and the perception of systemic leniency have solidified his position as one of the most controversial figures to emerge from Epstein's shadow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
