“Seward had all the money and Seward had all the bullies. Lincoln didn't have money or bullies, but by God, he had the people.” — Jonathan Earle Yesterday, Kurt Andersen fictionalized a 21st-century broken America without an Abe Lincoln as savior. Today we talk about the man himself with Jonathan Earle, author of He Has the People, a new history of the 1860 election that made Lincoln president and probably saved the then young Republic. Earle's mission is to bring Lincoln down from Mount Rushmore. He tells the story of a flesh-and-blood politician, a six-foot-four autodidact who, in 1859, was barely known outside Illinois. What changed everything was John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in October 1859. Lincoln recognized as much, spending the winter in the archives of the State Library of Illinois, then delivering a speech at Cooper Union that won over the New York media. Then onto the Republican convention in Chicago where the wily Lincoln ran rings around the establishment candidate William Henry Seward. In 1860, Abe Lincoln became Lincoln. The rest is history. He Has the People should be required reading for both obscure Republicans and Democrats planning to run for president in a fatally divided election. Earle suspects that 2028 might be as historic as 1860. Perhaps it will deliver another politician with the wit and wisdom to bring a broken America together. Somebody who, like Abe, has the people. Five Takeaways •       Before Abe Was Lincoln. Earle's stated mission: take Lincoln off Mount Rushmore and out of the throne Daniel Chester French sculpted, and restore the flesh-and-blood politician — “among the canniest politicians our country has produced, maybe the planet.” The pre-marble Lincoln: born in an actual Kentucky log cabin, wholly self-taught (favorite book: Euclid), the first genuinely Western president, six-foot-four when most men stood five-eight, a storyteller who learned politics riding the Illinois judicial circuit — breaking bread and sharing mattresses with judges and rival counsel — his ambition, in his law partner's famous phrase, a little engine that knew no rest. In 1859 he was barely known outside Illinois, a one-term ex-congressman regarded as vice-presidential material at best — the Jon Ossoff of his day, Earle suggests: making noise, not yet a name. Americans declare every election the most important in history; Earle's answer is the book's premise: hold on — it's not 1860.•       The 9/11 Before the Election. For decades both parties buried slavery beneath compromises — 1820, 1850 — until a tiny, hated minority of abolitionists forced the question. Then John Brown and twenty-one followers seized the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry in October 1859, intending to arm the enslaved (a plan so improvised, Earle notes, that Brown didn't bring lunch). The raid detonated inside a presidential campaign — as if 9/11 had preceded the 2000 election, or Pearl Harbor come before FDR's 1940 reelection — and it scrambled the chessboard: after Brown, every Southerner saw a secret John Brown in every Northerner, every Northerner saw a Slave Power that had run all three branches since the founding, and compromise died. Earle's verdict, unusual for a historian: the Civil War was inevitable after John Brown — the only question was who would be in charge when it came.•       Chicagoland. Lincoln's self-introduction was the strangest in campaign history: a tour of Bleeding Kansas (“the Gaza of the day”), then a winter of archival research in the State Library of Illinois, proving the founders believed they had the power to stop slavery's spread — delivered at Cooper Union in February 1860 in a reedy high voice that nonetheless won Horace Greeley and the New York press: his Obama-in-Boston moment. William Henry Seward — the famous New York senator, the Hillary of the piece — led the first two convention ballots. But Lincoln's handlers had pulled off the venue coup of the century (Chicago, his home state) and worked the smoky backrooms with offices, favors, and newspapers while their candidate wired “make no promises that bind me.” Seward was soft in Ohio and Indiana; the Republicans needed Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois; and a shocked Lincoln man coined the title: Seward had all the money and all the bullies — “but by God, he had the people.” Andrew's caveat: in Chicago, “the people” were power brokers.•       A Revolution, Reported from Paddy's Run. The general election was really two simultaneous contests: Lincoln versus Douglas in the North, Breckinridge versus Bell in the South — four candidates winning electoral votes, resolved as 180 for Lincoln (152 needed) on 39.8 percent of the popular vote, the lowest winning share in American history, with a scarcely believable 81.8 percent turnout. The franchise: white male citizens, no property requirement, citizenship easy enough that Democrats met the Irish ships at the docks — simultaneously the widest political participation on the planet and a restriction whose repair (the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments) would shut suffragists out for two more generations. Earle's narrative spine is Murat Halstead of Paddy's Run, Ohio — the nation's first campaign journalist, the only man at all seven of 1860's conventions, a Seward man who called it straight: this was a revolution — the first antislavery party wresting Washington from “Northern men with Southern principles” like Buchanan, Van Buren, and Pierce. And in the secession winter, Lincoln refused to compromise the victory away: We won.•       Is There a Lincoln Out There? Lincoln tops every presidential ranking, Earle argues, because he grew — the arc Earle compares to Bobby Kennedy's journey from McCarthyite to tribune of the poor. This Lincoln moved from denying racial equality in 1860 to a final speech — John Wilkes Booth in the audience — endorsing the vote for Black Union soldiers: killed, in effect, for the growing. He held the 1864 election in the middle of the war he expected to lose it (Earle's pointed contrast: Zelensky's wartime postponement — “I think that's a mistake”). To Andersen's cheerful breakup scenario, the LSU historian — whose Louisiana is one-third African American — gave a hard no: disunion meant “unremitted servitude forever,” and the republic needs Mississippi and Wyoming alike. For 2028: historical contingency always wins — nobody had heard of Obama two years out, and the general public hasn't heard the next name either. “I do think that there is a Lincoln out there. I do.” About the Guest Jonathan Earle teaches history and politics at Louisiana State University, where he has been Dean of the Ogden Honors College since 2014.

More than twenty-five years ago, John Wood was a rising Microsoft executive with a demanding job and a packed passport. A trek through Nepal changed everything. After encountering a rural school with empty library shelves, Wood made a promise to a headmaster that would eventually lead him to leave his corporate career behind and found Room to Read — an organization that has since built tens of thousands of libraries and reached over 26 million children across 20 countries.  In this conversation, John shares:  The moment in the Himalayas that sparked his decision to leave Microsoft  How he applied business discipline — benchmarking Room to Read's growth against Starbucks' post-IPO expansion — to scale a nonprofit faster than a Fortune 500 company  Why local ownership and community buy-in (not "helicopter philanthropy") became core to Room to Read's model  The origin of Room to Read's local-language publishing program, which has produced over 1,700 original children's titles  Why he launched a second organization, Ugo, to fund university scholarships for young women in low-income countries  The economics behind U-Go's $800-per-year scholarship model and its "zero leakage" funding structure  His advice for anyone considering a major career or life pivot toward purpose-driven work    Chapters: 00:00 A Pivotal Moment in Nepal 04:35 The Path to Scaling Impact 10:00 Productizing Philanthropy and Engagement 16:00 Local Empowerment and Cultural Solutions 22:00 Sustaining Motivation Through Challenges 26:40 Introducing U-Go: A New Vision  32:00 Creating Long-Term Educational Stability 40:10 Effective Altruism and Fundraising 44:10 Advice and Closing Thoughts

Robert Cwiklik, guest author, discusses the pivotal moments following Lee's surrender on April 9, 1865. President Lincoln, addressing a jubilant crowd, tentatively endorsed voting rights for African-Americans, specifically those who served in the Union Army or demonstrated "intelligence." This stance was influenced by his 1864 meeting with New Orleans intellectuals John Baptist Roudanez and Arnold Bertonneau, who advocated for Black suffrage in occupied Louisiana. Lincoln viewed a loyal Black electorate as essential for reknitting the Union, especially in states like Louisiana where the Black population exceeded 50%. However, this suggestion of citizenship and franchise was so inflammatory that it served as the primary motivator for John Wilkes Booth to proceed with assassination just days later. The New Orleans Tribune, founded by Roudanez and Bertonneau, became a central voice for these radical changes, setting the stage for the violent resistance that would characterize the post-war South.

Tomorrow, America will celebrate its birth. But the decisive moment, even the real birth of modern America, argues Alexander Mikaberidze in his new book The Louisiana Purchase: The Grand Bargain and the Making of America, may not have been 1776 at all. It was 1803, the year of the Louisiana Purchase. The year Thomas Jefferson bought the future from Napoleon Bonaparte. This was the moment the young American republic doubled its size in a single transaction, absorbed the heart of a continent and set itself on the path to becoming a global superpower. The numbers associated with the Louisiana Purchase are staggering. 828,000 square miles. Thirteen states. Fifteen million dollars — four cents an acre, so the mythology tells us. But Mikaberidze reminds us that the deal Jefferson signed did not actually grant the United States the land. Instead, it merely authorised the republic to negotiate the acquisition of land still owned by Native Americans. So it became the founding event of the US-Indian Treaty System that produced over 200 Native American cessions between 1804 and 1970, and cost the Republic billions of dollars. The Louisiana Purchase was America's grand Faustian bargain. It was a deal that not only enabled America's eventual rise as a 20th century superpower, but also the expansion of slavery, the destruction of Native peoples, and the 19th century imperial reach of the Monroe Doctrine. So forget 1776 and save the fireworks to remember 1803. And celebrate with croissants rather than hot dogs. Without Napoleon Bonaparte's generosity, the United States might be just another regional power like France. Five Takeaways •       The Louisiana Purchase: Arguably the Decisive Moment in American History: Mikaberidze's opening argument: if you had to pick the single most important moment in American history, 1803 has a stronger claim than 1776. Independence established the republic. The Louisiana Purchase made it a continental power. 828,000 square miles. Thirteen states. The heart of the continent. Securing the Mississippi for American commerce. Laying the groundwork for the Monroe Doctrine, Manifest Destiny, and America's eventual emergence as a global superpower. The revolution created the nation. The purchase created its destiny. •       Four Cents an Acre? The Real Price Was Billions: The famous number: $15 million, or four cents an acre. The less famous fact: the agreement Jefferson signed did not grant the United States the land. It merely authorised the republic to negotiate the acquisition of the land, which was still owned by Native Americans. The Louisiana Purchase was the founding event of the US-Indian Treaty System — which produced over 200 Native American cessions between 1804 and 1970, and cost the United States not $15 million but billions of dollars. What appeared to be the greatest real estate deal in history was actually an authorisation to conduct the most expensive series of land negotiations in history. •       The Grand Faustian Bargain: Slavery, Native Peoples, and the Monroe Doctrine: Andrew's formulation — the Grand Faustian Bargain, the deal with the devil — is one Mikaberidze accepts. The purchase did three things simultaneously: it made America a continental power and a future superpower; it enabled the expansion of slavery into the vast new territory (the Missouri crisis of 1820 was a direct consequence); and it set in motion the dispossession of Native peoples at a scale and speed that would otherwise have been impossible. The Monroe Doctrine — America's declaration that the Western Hemisphere was its sphere of influence — would not have been conceivable without the continental reach the purchase provided. •       Napoleon's Bad Weather: The Contingency That Made America: The counterfactual at the heart of Mikaberidze's book: in October 1802, Napoleon had 4,000 veteran French troops ready to sail for New Orleans. The bad weather delayed them. Then it was too late — war with Britain was coming, and Napoleon decided to sell. If those troops had arrived, Mikaberidze argues, France might have retained effective control of southern Louisiana, cultivated alliances with Native nations (as it historically had), and used those alliances to constrain American expansion inland. Without the Louisiana hinterland, the American republic might have been a prosperous but regionally limited power, strong in New England and the Northeast but denied the continental reach that made it a superpower. •       Croissants in Kansas, Tacos in Oklahoma: The Counterfactual Continents: Andrew's closing question: what would July 4 look like in Kansas and Oklahoma if the purchase hadn't happened? Mikaberidze's answer: French Louisiana, Spanish Texas, and Native-controlled hinterlands are all in play. The people of Kansas might indeed be celebrating with croissants rather than hot dogs. Mikaberidze adds: or tacos. Almost certainly more tacos and moles, given the Spanish and ultimately Mexican influence that would have prevailed across most of the continent. The American empire of liberty, in this alternative timeline, stops somewhere in the middle of what is now Missouri. About the Guest Alexander Mikaberidze is Professor of History and the Ruth Herring Noel Endowed Chair at Louisiana State University-Shreveport. He is the author of The Louisiana Purchase: The Grand Bargain and the Making of America (Oxford University Press, July 3, 2026) and more than two dozen other books, including Kutuzov: A Life in War and Peace (Oxford, 2022) and The Napoleonic Wars: A Global History (Oxford, 2020), both winners of the Society for Military History's Distinguished Book Award and the Gilder-Lehrman Military History Prize.

Michael McFaul and John Batchelor discuss the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis as a pivotal moment of near-nuclear obliteration that underscores the necessity of modern crisis management. McFaul emphasizes that a critical failure during this era was the lack of direct communication and a tendency to guess the adversary's intentions. While the Soviet Unionwas the primary threat in 1962, today the People's Republic of China has emerged as a major, revolutionary power player. McFaul argues that modern diplomacy must prioritize clear information and established prevention mechanisms to stabilize relations with both Russia and China. (1)1902

Our 100th show called for a guest who's built something real, lasting — and let's be honest - delicious. Lindsay and Bruce sat down with culinary and restaurant visionary Cameron Mitchell at his Valentina's location in Bridge Park.Together, they unpack what it really takes to launch a new restaurant concept— from early collaboration and inspiration trips to the hard work of dialing in the menu, service, and financial model. As Cameron shares, it can take years to get a single location right.He also takes us back to the beginning: a turbulent teenage life, washing dishes for a few dollars an hour, and the “light switch” moments that pushed him to write down goals and pursue the restaurant business with intensity. The conversation explores pivotal detours along the way, including being initially turned down by the Culinary Institute of America—and how those early challenges shaped his leadership style and long-term commitment to hospitality education.From there, the focus turns to values-driven leadership and restaurant culture. Cameron explains why he puts associates first, how that approach leads to better guest experiences, and why profit only matters if you protect quality and people. He also reflects on the darkest days of COVID-19 in the restaurant industry, a costly real estate mistake, and the service mindset that continues to power strong partnerships here in Dublin.The conversation also highlights Cameron's role in shaping Bridge Park as a regional dining destination, pulling back the curtain on his next project—a revealing story behind a concept that marks a first for Cameron and something long on his professional bucket list. Not a bad way to mark 100—big stories, hard-earned lessons, and what's next from one of the best in the business.Subscribe, share with a friend who leads people, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Olivier Blanchard breaks down Apple's (AAPL) earnings setup as the company approaches a leadership transition and refocuses on hardware innovation. He argues Apple's measured, late‑mover approach to AI helps it avoid costly capex pitfalls facing other big tech firms, while preserving flexibility through partnerships. Blanchard also highlights the growth of services, the iPhone 17 cycle, and Apple's push into more affordable Macs as key drivers of long‑term value.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → Anne Napolitano started her firm a decade ago as a solopreneur with an accounting degree, a background as a controller for Hermès of Paris, and a stint as a personal chef. Today she runs a 10-person firm with a specialty niche in food and beverage — and she has learned, often the hard way, how to charge what her work is actually worth. This episode is a practical, honest conversation about building advisory services into a bookkeeping firm, pricing with confidence, and communicating value so clients never have to wonder what you do for them. Chapters [00:00] Anne's Background and Firm Journey [05:03] Early Mistakes and Hard Lessons [09:07] Building Advisory Into the Practice [12:24] Tools, Confidence, and Clean Data [14:33] Selling Advisory to Skeptical Clients [18:20] Segmenting Clients for Higher-Tier Work [20:42] Packaging and Proposals That Work [23:34] Pricing Courage and Recovering from Undercharging [28:19] Communicating Value Before Clients Leave [30:29] Pivotal Moments and What She'd Do Differently From Bookkeeping to Advisory: It Takes Time to Grow Into It Anne didn't launch as a full advisory firm on day one — the advisory side evolved as her confidence and team grew. She credits closing the books fast (her target is the 10th–15th of each month) as the foundation that makes advisory possible. "The faster we can get the bookkeeping done, that allows us 2 weeks at the end of the month to meet with clients and to do the advisory type of work that we really enjoy." Without clean, timely data, there's nothing to advise on. Selling Advisory When Clients Don't Know They Need It Many clients assume advisory is bundled into their basic bookkeeping fee. Anne's approach is to start with bookkeeping, build trust, and then show — not tell — what advisory can do. She uses dashboards, charts, and graphs in prospect calls, sometimes pulling analysis directly from a prospect's QuickBooks file before they've even signed. "We have found that that has been a game changer." Visual tools lower the barrier for clients who tune out a P&L but respond immediately to a trend line. Segmenting Clients for Higher-Tier Services Not every client is ready for advisory, and Anne stopped pretending otherwise. She segments roughly the top 15–30% of her client base into higher-tier engagements based on revenue size, reporting complexity, or multi-entity structures — not just headcount. Clients who don't start there often grow into it. "Some of the other clients move themselves into advisory over time. Either they grow or become more complex, or we've shown them what we can do for them — and by then we have a relationship, so they trust us." The Pricing Trap: Being a Recovering Underpricer Anne is direct about the pricing mistakes she's still working through. She uses value pricing (no hourly billing), offers three-tier proposal packages, and spells out scope precisely to avoid scope creep and client assumptions. But the real obstacle is internal. "I'm a recovering underpricer. You need to be willing and able for them to walk away. Because if they're not going to pay your price, it's not a good client for you." She also anchors pricing against the cost of a full-time hire — converting monthly fees to an annual figure so clients can compare apples to apples. Communicating Value Before Clients Drift Away Losing clients not because of bad work, but because clients didn't understand what was being done for them, was one of Anne's hardest lessons. Her fix: overcommunicate. Her team now sends monthly summaries through their client portal covering what was done, errors caught, fraud signals flagged, and money saved. "We don't always communicate to a client, and we found that that was a big mistake." She describes it as an iceberg — clients see the surface, but the firm's job is to make the work below the waterline visible. --- Links Mentioned Anne Napolitano on LinkedIn Anne Napolitano on Instagram: search Anne Napolitano The Balance Sheet — Anne's monthly newsletter (contact her via social media to subscribe) The Successful Bookkeeper Summit — this year's theme: Owning Your Authority PureBookkeeping.com — episode sponsor Woodard conferences and education (mentioned as a resource for advisory skill-building) --- About the Guest Anne Napolitano is the founder of Anne Napolitano Consulting, a modern accounting and advisory firm she has grown over 10 years from a solo practice to a 10-person team.

In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde sits down with Peter Norris to explore a story that challenges assumptions about identity, leadership and what is actually possible. Peter grew up in an environment where crime was normalised. His father was one of Australia’s most wanted bank robbers, his brother followed a similar path, and by the age of six, Peter was already involved in break-ins. At thirteen, he made a decision that changed the direction of his life. This conversation explores that moment, the choices that followed, and what it takes to step away from what feels inevitable. It also moves into leadership, where Peter now leads a multimillion-dollar hospitality group with a clear philosophy built on courage and kindness. In this episode, you’ll hear: The defining decision that changed Peter’s trajectory How environment shapes belief and what becomes possible Why small, consistent choices matter more than big moments The tension between loyalty, identity and personal responsibility How to lead with both courage and kindness in today’s workplace The role of belief in shaping performance and culture This is a conversation about choice, ownership and leadership. It challenges the idea that your past determines your future, and reinforces the impact of the decisions you make over time.

What if the biggest barrier to high performance at work isn't talent, strategy, or even time — but the way your brain and energy actually function? In this grounded, practical episode of Legendary Leaders, host Cathleen O'Sullivan is joined by Alex Davids, director and founding partner of Next Evolution Performance — a global coaching business that helps leaders and teams achieve more while using less effort. With over 20 years of experience across the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, Alex blends neuroscience and psychology to help people understand how their brain, behaviour, and energy systems really work. Alex opens with a concept that instantly resonates: continuous partial attention — the quiet, cumulative drain of open tabs, constant notifications, and always-on expectations that depletes the cognitive energy leaders need most. She and Cathleen explore why pushing harder is so often the worst strategy for better performance, how to identify your optimal focus period, what sustainable high performers do differently with their devices, and why busyness is frequently a cover for poor systems rather than genuine productivity. Alex also shares candidly the moment she had to admit she wasn't walking her own talk — and the small, deliberate habits she rebuilt around. This is a conversation that will slow you down in the best way — and leave you thinking differently about where your energy is going, and what becomes possible when you stop spending it on the wrong things.   Episode Timeline:   00:00:00 When Performance Meets the Brain 00:04:24 The Hidden Cost of Continuous Partial Attention 00:06:06 Finding Your Optimal Focus Period 00:13:31 Why We're Competing With Our Own Technology 00:19:23 Energy Management Over Time Management 00:22:28 What Depleted Leadership Teams Look Like 00:26:57 Walking the Talk — Alex's Pivotal Moment 00:32:04 Boundaries, Guilt, and the Auto-Responder 00:37:22 What Sustainable High Performers Do Differently 00:41:18 The Experiment of Stillness 00:47:38 Life After Social Media 00:52:55 Dopamine and the Economy of Attention 00:59:55 Observing Your Own Mind 01:04:38 Useful Thoughts Over Positive Ones 01:09:15 Presence as the Ultimate Performance Tool     Key Takeaway:   Reduce Distraction Before Anything Else: Continuous partial attention is quietly draining your cognitive energy without you noticing. Before adding another productivity tool, try removing what's pulling your focus away. Less input is often the highest-leverage move. Match Your Hardest Work to Your Best Energy: Not all hours are equal. Identify when your energy peaks and protect that time for your heaviest thinking — doing it the other way around costs you far more than you realise. Busy and Productive Are Not the Same Thing: If overwhelm feels constant, it's a signal something in the system isn't working. Keep asking: is this actually the best use of our energy right now? Give Your Device a Job Description: Sustainable high performers have a defined relationship with their phone — not just a phone. Deciding what it's for, and what it isn't, is one of the simplest boundaries you can set for your focus and energy. Stillness Is a Performance Strategy: The brain needs space to think creatively, shift perspective, and connect ideas. Building small moments of stillness into your day isn't a luxury — it's how you stay capable of the thinking that actually matters.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​     About Alexandra Davids:   Alexandra Davids is a high-performance coach and cognitive energy strategist who helps business leaders and teams optimize their mental performance and achieve peak productivity without the risk of burnout.

In this moving episode of Talking Insomnia, we meet Zach, who shares a powerful transformation from a state of "enormous struggle" to a life where insomnia is simply no longer on his mind. Zach's journey is a profound example of what happens when we move beyond traditional "sleep hygiene" and standard CBT-I—which Zach found actually made his situation worse—and instead move toward true Insomnia Immunity. What you'll learn in this episode: The "Acceptance" Paradox: How Zach achieved one of his biggest life goals (getting into a special army unit) while in the midst of his struggle, proving that life doesn't have to stop when sleep is difficult. The Definition of Recovery: Zach explains the moment he realized he was recovered—not because he was sleeping perfectly, but because he "lost interest" in the topic entirely and stopped asking the question, "Am I better yet?" Facing the Root Cause: Why facing the fear of insomnia gave Zach the tools to face almost any other fear in life. Beyond the Struggle: How Zach went from feeling like a "different person" back to his true self. Zach's story is a testament to the fact that when you stop running and start meeting your fears differently, the thoughts that once consumed you eventually leave your mind completely.

RISKY BUSINESS: DRAGON, NASA, AND REUSABILITY Colleague Eric Berger. To fund its Mars ambitions, SpaceX relied on NASA cargo contracts, which required the development of the Dragon spacecraft. Berger highlights a pivotal moment in 2012 when SpaceX combined two test missions (C2 and C3) to save time, a risky move that required rewriting flight software while the vehicle was near the International Space Station to fix a sensor glitch. Simultaneously, the company faced an "existential" crisis following the 2015 CRS-7 launch failure. Berger details the difficult evolution of reusability, moving from failed parachute concepts to the complex engineering required to land a booster vertically.

The conversation covers the historical emergence of Algeria as a political and territorial unit, starting in the Ottoman period in the 16th century. Key pivotal moments in Algerian history are highlighted, including French colonialism beginning in 1830, which led to a settler colonial project, the rise of the modern mass nationalist movement in the interwar period, the War of National Liberation (1954–1962), and the decade of violence in the 1990s. The latter half of the conversation focuses on the "Worlds of Islam," emphasizing a polycentric history with no single center. A historian, professor at the University of Oxford, and author of books "A History of Algeria" and "The Worlds of Islam: A Global History", James McDougall details the diverse "technologies" of Islam's spread, including its compelling initial mission, the appeal of social mobility for non-Arabs, trade networks, and the influence of Sufism.
