Podcasts about Planning

Today on the Disney Wedding Podcast, Katherine Bertrand shares the story of her Tree of Life ceremony at Animal Kingdom, California Grill wedding reception, and EPCOT Italy Isola dessert party, and how she planned a Walt Disney World wedding with multiple locations in one day. She explains why she chose a morning ceremony instead of a late-night event, how she customized her reception with the California Grill culinary team to create a kosher-style menu, and how she used the Fairytale Weddings Guide to discover options Disney didn't volunteer and calculate her exact wedding budget months in advance.

In this episode of the Power of Zero Show David McKnight gives you a blueprint with the key steps to follow for a successful and stress-free retirement if you're about five years away. The first step is figuring out your retirement income shortfall, the income you'll need every month in retirement, as well as how much of that will be covered by sources like Social Security and pensions. The retirement income shortfall represents the amount of income your retirement assets need to produce in order to fund your lifestyle. One strategy many retirees rely on is taking a portion of their liquid retirement savings, often from a traditional IRA or 401(k), and rolling it into an annuity designed to produce inflation-adjusted lifetime income. The second pillar of the blueprint discussed by David are investments: Roughly 70% to a total U.S. stock market index fund, and 30% to a total international stock market index fund. While things like paying the electric bill or putting food on the table are covered by your guaranteed income sources, this portfolio is designed to fund discretionary expenses (e.g. taking the grandkids to Disneyland, traveling, etc.) and unexpected shock expenses. David emphasizes that, by investing this discretionary bucket entirely in stocks rather than bonds, you increase the likelihood that the portfolio will last through your actuarial life expectancy. "When properly structured and funded, an index universal life policy or IUL can serve as a volatility buffer within your retirement plan", says David. Furthermore, a IUL policy can also provide a death benefit that can be accessed in advance of your death for the purpose of paying for long-term care… Remember: Retirement planning isn't about guessing what the market will do, it's about building a system where your basic needs are guaranteed, your growth assets continue compounding and you have the tools in place to manage volatility and unexpected risks.     Mentioned in this episode: David's new book, available now for pre-order: The Secret Order of Millionaires David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement by David McKnight DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com

As Donald Trump flings the world into an energy crisis with his war in Iran, his administration is apparently trying to resurrect the ghosts of past environmental catastrophes with deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and an oil pipeline off the coast of California. Rachel Maddow looks at how Donald Trump's fast talk and gaslighting can't change the reality of the mess he has made in the Strait of Hormuz as allies resist his bullying and rivals and opportunists take advantage of him to enrich themselves. Donald Trump's avoidance of accountability or even having to give any real answers on his decision to go to war against Iran may be coming to an end as Senate Democrats are poised to bring the business of the Senate to a grinding halt by forcing a wave of votes on U.S. military action in Iran. Senator Cory Booker talks with Rachel Maddow about Trump's handling of his attack on Iran and the questions Senate Democrats want answered.   And the disaster at the Department of Homeland Security did not end with the firing of Kristi Noem. Wall Street Journal reporter Michelle Hackman discusses with Rachel. Want more of Rachel?

Today I'm going to show you why that's costing you money—and what to do instead.

As winter lingers across parts of the Prairies, many growers are still waiting for conditions to shift before spring fieldwork begins.

In this episode of RealAgriculture's Canola School,... Read More

If there's one thing I learned from my coaching call with Madeline, it's that taking action without having all the answers right away is a challenge that many of us face. It's so easy to get stuck in the comfort of indecision, paralyzed by the fear of making the "wrong" choice. But what if I told you that the true transformation lies within the process itself, not just the destination? This insight can make the path forward seem less daunting and more about embracing the learning journey. Whether it's updating an old dresser or deciding the next big life move, the key is in taking that first action to start building momentum. So, if you're at a crossroads, consider what excites you, what you truly want, and begin your journey by doing something small. Remember, the magic happens not in the final outcome, but in the process of getting there. Join the Supporters Club to keep About Progress around for good.

He is the creator of The Big Picture, often ranked as the number one financial blog to follow by The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and others. Barry Ritholtz is the creator and host of Bloomberg's "Masters in Business" radio podcast, and a featured columnist at the Washington Post. He is the author of the Bailout Nation: How Greed and Easy Money Corrupted Wall Street and Shook the World Economy (Wiley, 2009). In addition to serving as Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Ritholtz Wealth Management, he is also on the advisory boards of Riskalyze, and Peer Street, two leading financial technology startups bringing transparency and analytics to the investment business.  Barry has named one of the "15 Most Important Economic Journalists" in the United States, and has been called one of The 25 Most Dangerous People in Financial Media. When not working, he can be found with his wife and their two dogs on the north shore of Long Island. Jonathan Miller is the Director of Markets for StreetMatrix, a real-time home price index series used by the financial services sector to track local, regional, and national housing markets in the United States. I'm also the President and CEO of Miller Samuel Inc., a real estate appraisal and consulting firm I co-founded in 1986. For 32 years, I authored a series of market reports for Douglas Elliman Real Estate, considered the "report of record," which accounted for 50% of their media coverage. My market reports analyzed the New York City metropolitan area, Boston, parts of Florida, California, Texas, Connecticut, and Colorado that were relied on by the media, financial institutions, and government agencies, including the Federal Reserve, Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the NYC Office of Management and Budget, and others. I am an Adjunct Associate Professor of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation in the Master of Science in Real Estate Development (MSRED) Program at Columbia University, where I teach market analysis. I've guest lectured at institutions including New York University, Harvard University, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, and Drexel University, and am also a New York State Real Estate Instructor for qualifying and continuing education courses and a New York State Real Estate Appraiser Instructor for qualifying certified general and continuing education courses. I co-authored a research paper for NYU School of Law and the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service's Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy titled The Condominium v. Cooperative Puzzle: An Empirical Analysis of Housing in New York City, published in 2007 by the Journal of Legal Studies at the University of Chicago. Back in 2010, I developed pending home sale indices for the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metro areas, and Central Pennsylvania, on behalf of Bright MLS, one of the largest multiple listing services in the U.S. One of my favorite activities is serving on the New York City Mayor's Economic Advisory Panel, representing the residential real estate sector, and the New York State Budget Division Economic Advisory Board. I've also participated in valuation studies with academic institutions, including New York University, Princeton University, Columbia University, and Baruch College. I participated in and co-authored an epic research paper as part of the Urban Land Institute Advisory Services for the city of Norfolk, VA (its flooding problems are getting worse). I also authored a white paper for One Fine Stay, a hospitality brand owned by AccorHotels, titled "The Future of Luxury New Development in New York: Leaving $1 Billion on the Table." In the valuation world, I am a state-certified real estate appraiser in New York and Connecticut, and I provide expert witness testimony in various local, state, and federal courts. I hold the Counselors of Real Estate (CRE) designation. I am also an Appraiser "A" Member of the Real Estate Board of New York and a former two-term President of RAC, a premier appraisal organization whose members focus on complex residential properties for relocation, litigation support, testimony, and reviews. As a result of my extensive writing and investigative research on this Housing Notes platform, I brought public attention to the misconduct of two key institutions in the appraisal profession: The Appraisal Foundation and The Appraisal Institute. As a result, I became an expert witness for the Appraisal Subcommittee at FHFA in Washington, DC, which aired for three hours on C-SPAN in 2023. One memorable thing that came out of my appearance was the birth of my fourth grandchild during the session. On the personal side, I'm clearly a homebody and love hanging out with my wife, whom I met in college in 1980, greasing donut trays at 5:30 am at the student bakery, a part of the second-largest non-military cafeteria in the world, located at Michigan State University. There is nothing better than when any of our four sons and their significant others, including the grandchildren, are in town. For our fortieth wedding anniversary, my wife and I went to Antarctica (perhaps I'm not a homebody?) While I'm at it, a couple of formative childhood adventures: At 12 years old, I climbed to the snow line of Mt. Kilimanjaro (leadership said I was too young to summit - boo!) In middle school, I traveled to the Soviet Union on a study abroad program before the wall fell. When I was a teenager and before I got my driver's license, I rode my bicycle from Oregon to Virginia in the summer of 1976, carrying all my gear (my parents claim they gave me a one-way airplane ticket to fly across the US, and I came back!) At age 25, I co-founded Miller Samuel because I didn't know any better. In my offline hours, I love to read, explore new music, try to make snow, attempt to catch lobsters, and endeavor to connect to my backyard birdhouse camera from whatever airplane I happen to be flying on.

What happens when the business you built no longer feels aligned with who you are becoming?To learn more about Sacred Profits, Join Here: https://learn.kellesparta.com/sacredprofitsIn this episode of Spirit Sherpa, Kelle Sparta sits down with longtime colleague Marisa Adele, founder of Healing Point Therapeutics and the Find Your Healers directory, for a live spiritual business energy review. After 15 years in practice, thousands of clients, and a thriving reputation in the healing space, Marisa finds herself confronting a question many spiritual practitioners quietly struggle with: Why does my work suddenly feel wrong even though it's successful? Kelle dives into the energetic realities behind healer burnout, explaining why experienced practitioners often outgrow the modalities and business structures that once worked for them. The conversation explores the hidden cost of constantly holding space for others, how global energetic shifts are affecting empaths and energy workers, and why pushing harder is often the worst thing you can do when your intuition is calling for change. Instead of trying to force clarity or rebuild a business from exhaustion, Kelle offers a different perspective: sometimes the most powerful next step is stepping away long enough to release the old identity and allow the next phase of your purpose to emerge. They discuss how spiritual entrepreneurs can recognize the difference between misalignment and burnout, why taking intentional downtime can unlock deeper guidance, and how to ask better questions when navigating a major life or business transition. If you're a healer, coach, or spiritual practitioner who has ever wondered whether you're still on the right path—or felt completely fried from doing the work you once loved—this conversation offers insight, validation, and a powerful reminder that growth often requires letting go before the next chapter becomes clear.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:59 Marisa's Businesses and Misalignment02:27 In Person vs Virtual Fulfillment03:27 Career Maturity and Burnout Signs04:32 Guides Say Take Time Off06:05 Why Energetic Downtime Matters09:50 Let the Next Direction Emerge14:05 Fear of Letting Go18:14 Modality vs Outcome Framework21:20 Planning a Real Break24:26 Where to Find Marisa ClosingKeywords:spiritual businessspiritual entrepreneurhealer burnoutenergy healing businessintuition in businessspiritual practitionerspiritual growthspiritual coachingenergy workersholistic entrepreneurshuman design projectorhealing business strategyspiritual leadershipJoin the community on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KelleSpartaIf you would like to learn more please book a Discovery Call here: https://kellesparta.com/discovery-call/Licensing and Credits:“Spirit Sherpa” is the sole property of Kelle Sparta Enterprises and is distributed under a Creative Commons: BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.

She also outlines NDA's recent advocacy efforts, including formal requests to OSHA and EPA seeking regulatory clarity on silica dust controls in freezing conditions and torch cutting of PCB bulk product waste.From the Field (4:24): Doug Thomas of Independence Demolition shares why “lessons learned” shouldn't be an afterthought; they should be a system. From safety and near misses to estimating, contracts and client management, Doug explains how documenting and sharing lessons across teams drives continuous improvement. He outlines how Independence uses a formal database, monthly reviews and toolbox talks to reinforce both the good practices worth repeating and the mistakes worth avoiding. His challenge to listeners: Every job has a lesson if you're willing to look for it.Member Conversation (9:21): In a conversation with Brandenburg's vice president of sales, Dennis McGarel, Richard Miller, CEO of Resource Environmental Inc., traces his path from working in his father's scrap yard in Los Angeles to leading a $50 million demolition and environmental firm. Along the way, he reflects on the mentors who shaped him, the risks of entrepreneurship, the realities of bonding and public work, and the discipline required to grow sustainably. At the center of his story is a clear theme: Success in demolition isn't just about equipment or contracts; it's about relationships, culture and investing in the people who power the business.

As operational wind farms approach the end of their operational life, developers are faced with difficult decisions: decommission, life-extend or replace or upgrade old turbines with modern, higher-capacity technology. The opportunity to take advantage of consenting hurdles already overcome at wind farm sites are set against the challenge of new technical and commercial constraints associated with the scale of infrastructure, and the complexity of a new environmental baseline. The consenting legal and policy framework is playing catch up: how do we repower existing wind farm sites, sustain their contribution to wind energy deployment targets, and ultimately support the delivery of net zero objectives? Join us to hear from ReAmp's Directors William Black and Alison Sidgwick on the key policy considerations and James Gibson, Partner in Eversheds Sutherland's Planning and Infrastructure Consenting practice, on the legal framework to inform repowering strategies.

Everyone thinks retirement is a permanent vacation. For the first few months, it might feel that way. Then something shifts. The novelty fades. Tuesdays start to feel like Saturdays. The structure that once defined your days disappears. And for many retirees, freedom without purpose slowly turns into restlessness.In this episode, James walks through the reality most financial commercials never show. Retirement often moves through predictable phases. The honeymoon. The loss of identity. The trial and error. And, if you are intentional, reinvention. None of those phases are solved by a bigger portfolio alone.The deeper issue is not money. It is meaning. Planning for lifespan is not the same as planning for health span. The years when you have energy, mobility, and people around you who can share those experiences are limited. If all the fun is back loaded for “someday,” someday may look very different than you imagined.James outlines the traps many retirees fall into. Having no structure. Comparing their lives to others. Saving aggressively but struggling to actually spend and live. The solution is not a rigid schedule. It is clarity about what you are retiring to. Weekly rhythms. Relationships. Health. Challenge. Adventure.A financial plan supports that vision. It does not replace it. When your cash flow, investments, and tax strategy are aligned with a life you actually want to live, retirement stops being an escape from work and becomes a chapter you are prepared to enjoy.Retirement is not about leaving something behind. It is about building something meaningful in its place.--Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

Faith can feel fragile when financial pressure is loud and responsibility is heavy. If money calms your nervous system faster than God does, this isn't failure — it may be identity-level misalignment quietly shaping your trust.Why does trusting money sometimes feel safer than trusting God?For many responsible, high-capacity leaders, the answer isn't rebellion. It's regulation.Money is measurable. Markets can be analyzed. Spreadsheets respond to effort. Faith requires surrender.In this Vertical Alignment episode of The Recalibration, we gently explore the subtle trust transfer that can happen when money becomes the thing that steadies your nervous system more reliably than the Sovereign.Not as a warning.But as an invitation.If your peace rises and falls with your portfolio, it may not be about discipline — it may be about where safety fused with identity.We also reframe the parable of the talents through identity rather than performance. Stewardship was never about fear-driven multiplication. It was about trust in the Master's character.This episode weaves together:Faith and nervous system regulationFinancial control and spiritual surrenderBurnout from responsibility and quiet identity driftThe fear of being irresponsible if you loosen controlThe deeper fear: “If I let go… and God doesn't come through… what then?”For many achievers and leaders, control masquerades as responsibility. It looks wise. Strategic. Mature.But stewardship rooted in fear and stewardship rooted in trust can look identical on the outside.The difference is posture.When money stops regulating your identity, something shifts:Planning remains, but panic softensStewardship remains, but bracing loosensCompetence remains, but control relaxesJoy quietly returnsFinancial peace is not recklessness.It is identity secured beyond income.Today's Micro Recalibration:When financial uncertainty surfaces, notice what you reach for first.More calculation?More control?Or prayer?Gently ask:Has money become my most immediate source of peace?And beneath that:If I loosen my grip… what am I afraid will happen?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you → Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

When it comes to podcast strategies to grow your podcast, one strategy that often gets overlooked (because it takes time) is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Now people are starting to market a "New" thing known as PSO (Podcast Search Optimization).Podcast Search Optimization VS Search Engine OptimizationSo what is the difference? In reality not much. Tools like Podseo and PSO and Ausha show you information on how often keywords are being search in Apple and Spotify (and others). SEO tools show what people are searching for in Google and other places (YouTube, TikTok, and more).So THE question is, do people search differently in a Podcast App vs how they search Google? For me, I don't think so. I might just type a keyword "Podcasting Best Practices" where in Google I would type "Podcasting Best Practices Podcast."Keyword Research Boils Dow To ThisFind a keyword that has a fair number of people searching for (somewhere between 20-100 searches), and see how much competition it has. Instead of trying to score for a really popular keyword, score multiple times with less popular (but still be sought after) key words with less competition. Mom said "Don't go play in traffic," but that's what you need to do - but no on the free way.What is Your Domain Authority?SEMRush (a great suite of tools) has a domain authority checker.Tools To Boost Your Podcast SEO on the WebFree Keyword Tool (That Sucks IMHO)https://www.wordstream.com/keywordsGoogle Keyword Tool (Inside of Adsense Account)https://ads.google.comGo to Tools > Planning > Keyword Planner (Free and unlimited use)Keywords Everywhere Extension for Chrome and Firefox $7/month.

If you give me seven days to test the tool, give me access to ALL OF IT. I mean every marketer knows that you give it to the customer and let them "get hooked" so when their trial is over they will purchase.I couldn't do that as much of the tools spotlighted required me to upgrade. Boo.That being said it does show how much a keyword is searched for (not as specific as some tools for web seo). It also shows you how hard to competition is.Keep in mind that you need to give your dashboard 24 hours to show some statistics in your dashboard.Ausha PSO (affiliate)PodSEOThis is from Andrea De Marsi (Co-founder of Spreaker) and Francesco Baschieri (Co-founder of Spreaker) and it has a similar feature set to the ausha tool.You can save 10% using the coupon schoolofpodcasting. (affiliate)I thought it was very cool that Podseo alerted me to the mistake that I had accidentally listed my show twice in Spotify (I moved from Libsyn to Captivate - nuff said).It has some cool episode planners, and is cheaper than Ausha PSO. Their AI tools looks at your episodes and recommend future ideas and then helps you plan them, and has a calendar showing when the episodes were released.They also can send you daily updates on your rankings or your competition.Check it out at podseo.com and use the coupon schoolofpodcasting to save 10%Because of My Podcast: Paul ColliganPaul is a huge theater nerd, and loves the musical Chess.

Send a textSince last week's episode was released, I've received so many messages from listeners asking for more information about the fourth trimester and postpartum planning that I decided to record this extra episode to explore these topics in more depth.The weeks after birth are often overlooked in birth preparation, yet they represent one of the most significant transitions for both mother and baby. In this episode, I talk about the biological realities of the fourth trimester, why newborn behaviour often makes perfect sense when we understand human development, and why planning for postpartum can make such a difference to recovery and wellbeing.I also explore how cultural expectations in modern Western society can sometimes clash with biology, particularly when it comes to rest, recovery, and the close contact that newborn babies instinctively seek.During the episode, I walk through a practical framework for a postpartum planning conversation. If you are preparing for birth, this is something I encourage you to discuss with your partner or support network before the baby arrives. Taking time to think about support, rest, feeding, emotional wellbeing, and household responsibilities can help protect the early weeks and reduce unnecessary stress.I also explain why postpartum rest is not simply a luxury, but an important part of physical recovery. Giving the body time to heal after pregnancy and birth supports long-term health, including pelvic floor recovery and overall wellbeing.The fourth trimester matters. When we understand the biology behind newborn behaviour and maternal recovery, we can approach this period with more realistic expectations and greater compassion for ourselves and our babies.Episode 172 - Relationship Circles - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ultimate-guide-to-being-a-birth-partner/id1541228817?i=1000752253453Episode 149 - Postpartum Prolapse - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ultimate-guide-to-being-a-birth-partner/id1541228817?i=1000706091689 If you love the podcast and would like to support it, then please use the link to 'buy me a coffee' - https://bmc.link/sallyannberesfordIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.uk Follow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner Book a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresford Please remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.

Financial peace can feel confusing when you're used to pressure and constant scanning. This episode explores why exhaustion around money isn't a discipline problem, but an identity-level misalignment—and what peace actually feels like in your body and leadership.What does financial peace actually feel like?Not a number in an account.Not a milestone reached.Not finally “having enough.”Financial peace is an internal shift.Many high performers live with subtle financial pressure—even when their income is stable and their strategy is sound. There is still scanning. Forecasting. A low-grade vigilance that never fully turns off. And over time, that pressure feels normal.This episode moves from theory into embodiment.Because burnout around money is rarely about math. It is about identity misalignment. When financial stability becomes fused with authority, belonging, and self-worth, peace feels risky. Softening can feel unsafe. Calm can feel wrong.We explore:• The difference between financial control and financial peace• Nervous system regulation around money• Identity load and authority• The grief of releasing “the strongest one” identity• Why calm can initially feel like withdrawal• How peace frees mental bandwidth and emotional energy• Leadership without financial dominance• Money as tool, not identityFinancial peace is not having enough.It is no longer needing money to regulate your identity.When that shift happens:• Conversations lose their edge• Planning becomes thoughtful instead of urgent• Risk feels strategic instead of personal• Joy and delight return as reclaimed capacityPeace does not dull your ambition.It removes the bracing that was draining you.This is Renewed Momentum. Not adrenaline. Not urgency. Clean forward movement rooted in internal security.Today's Micro Recalibration:Picture a financial conversation you've been avoiding. Imagine entering it without needing to prove anything. Notice your body. Where do you soften?Ask gently: If money is just a tool, who am I without it regulating me?If you lead others, notice this: when you talk about money, does the room feel safe—or activated? What would 5 percent more calm look like this week?Financial peace begins in your body. And when it does, everything else follows.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you → Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Do you ever look up at the clock and realize it's late afternoon… and you still have no idea what dinner is going to be? For many homeschool moms, the daily question of “What's for dinner?” can feel like one more decision on an already full day. Traditional meal planning systems often add pressure instead of peace. In this episode of Simplifying Mom Life, I'm sharing the simple approach that has helped me feed a large family without the stress of assigning meals to every single day of the week. Instead of planning daily meals, I keep a flexible meal list and a few simple backups in the freezer. This small shift has made dinner decisions easier, calmer, and much more realistic for busy homeschool days. I'll also share a little about the Special Needs Moms Keepsake Planner I created, where I personally use this same approach each week with space for meal ideas, grocery lists, and flexible planning that actually works in real life. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by meal planning or tired of trying to stick to a rigid dinner schedule, this episode will give you a gentle alternative that might bring more peace to your evenings.

Episode 1990: Steve Pavlina explores why even the best-laid plans fail when we ignore the realities of execution. Drawing lessons from business strategy and applying them to personal growth, he challenges you to confront your real strengths, weaknesses, and habits before committing to ambitious plans. The result is a powerful reminder that self-awareness, not willpower alone, is the key to turning intentions into results. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/02/do-you-create-plans-that-would-require-an-android-to-execute/ Quotes to ponder: "If you make a plan for your day, you have to consider your own strengths and weaknesses as an integral part of that plan." "It's hard to look at a really cool-looking plan for your day and say to yourself, "Mr. Data could execute this, but I probably can't."" "It doesn't matter how great the plan is if the team can't actually execute it."

As Donald Trump continues to offer contradictory answers and explanations, his war on Iran is running into some foreseeable problems that were among the reasons attacking Iran was ill-advised in the first place. Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security advisor, and Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia, talk with Jen Psaki about the deadly, expensive mess Donald Trump and his defense secretary, former weekend cable news host Pete Hegseth, are making. Jen Psaki points out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's dismaying preoccupation with his personal image while signs of the mismanagement of Donald Trump's war on Iran multiply, including new reporting that the U.S. was likely responsible for hitting an Iranian school full of children with a missile. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, a member of the House Oversight Committee, talks with Jen about hearing the testimony of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant, which somehow produced more questions than answers. And Rep. Chris Deluzio joins the show to discuss how U.S. military veterans are reacting to Donald Trump's second term military adventurism and the degree to which his actions contradict what he campaigned on.
