    Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect President Trump making the Democrats look heartless and crazy in their refusal to applaud almost anything, Trump's reluctance to pursue an aggressive legislative agenda this year, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's forgettable rebuttal to Trump's speech, and the truly insane event Dems put on during the speech.First, they explain what they liked about the speech, including Trump exposing that Democrats oppose the protection of citizens over illegal aliens and or stopping schools or local governments from transitioning minors without the knowledge or consent of parents. Democrats also refused to clap for families traumatized by violent crime and even seemed pretty unenthused about the Olympic champion hockey team. Talk about an own goal!Next, they scratch their heads at news that President Trump doesn't want to pursue another reconciliation bill in Congress this year to pass more GOP fiscal priorities while Republicans still hold majorities on both sides of Capitol Hill. Jim and Greg urge him to reconsider and point to the value such an agenda would have on the midterms.Finally, they pan the Democrats' rebuttal delivered by Gov. Spanberger, noting what they see as hypocrisy on some issues and incoherence on others. They also highlight the thoroughly bizarre event lefties ran in opposition to the State of the Union.Please visit our great sponsors:Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLLive better, longer with BUBS Naturals.

    Turning Tragedy into Transformation with Patricia Muirhead is a truly inspirational episode of the Business Awards Show. When Patricia lost her daughter Ashdon to suicide in 2014, she made a decision that would change hundreds of young lives — she channelled her grief into action. Consequently, she became founder and CEO of the Ashdon Jazz Academy, a South London charity supporting young women aged 11–21 with their mental health and personal development. Patricia shares the deeply personal story behind the charity's founding, and how her background as an assistant headteacher shaped her belief that schools alone can't meet young people's emotional needs. She walks us through the programmes the Academy delivers — from one-to-one mentoring and weekly "Girls Night" drop-ins, to school workshops covering everything from journaling and meditation to entrepreneurship and life skills. We also hear about the funding realities of running a grassroots charity. She explains why corporate partnerships could be a game-changer, and reveals her big dream: a dedicated Academy hub that's truly a safe space for the young women they serve. Patricia also reflects on winning the Gold Award for Charity Champion at the 2025 Best Business Women Awards. Essentially, it proved what third-party recognition really means when you're doing important, often invisible work. It also gives her a fantastic platform to be Charity of the Year at this Year's Awards Gala Evening. If you'd like to donate, volunteer as a mentor, or explore a corporate partnership with the Ashdon Jazz Academy, details are in the links below.   About Patricia Patricia Muirhead is an author, speaker, and transformational mentor dedicated to empowering women to rise beyond adversity and step confidently into their purpose. As the CEO of Ashdon Jazz Academy, Patricia leads impactful mentoring and development programmes designed to support young women through personal growth, leadership development, and emotional resilience. Her work addresses real-life challenges facing young women today, including identity, self-worth, healthy relationships, and vulnerability to exploitation and violence. Patricia also provides dedicated support for parents grieving the loss of a child. Having experienced profound personal loss herself, she offers compassionate mentoring to help bereaved parents process grief, rediscover strength, and find hope beyond devastating adversity. She is the author of two books, including a deeply moving account of losing her daughter and navigating the painful yet transformative road to healing.    {1:57} How Patricia came to start Ashdon Jazz Academy and the work it does. {4:10} Understanding the challenges faced by young women as a teacher. {6:27} The programmes the Academy delivers. {7:45} How young women access their services. {8:54} Services outside mentoring. {10:57} A typical success story. {12:37} The challenges of running a charity. {15:09} How the Best Businesswomen Awards appeared on the radar. {16:50} The Academy's tenth birthday last year. {18:10} Winning local community awards. {19:38} The number of volunteers in the charity. {20:04} How Patricia built support from the outset. {21:46} How the services needed were defined at the beginning. {25:19} The number of young women the Academy has helped over the last decade. {28:06} The pressures young women experience today. {29:28} The mentor selection process. {30:18} Plans for the next 12 months. {32:02} Patricia's aims for the future.   Connect with Debbie at: https://thebusinessawardsshow.co.uk                                         https://bestsmeawards.co.uk/                                        Connect with Patricia:  https://www.ashdonjazzacademy.org.uk/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/ashdonjazzacademy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashdonjazzacademy/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ashdonjazzacademy431 Patricia's Book 'Rise From the Valley': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rise-Valley-Patricia-Muirhead/dp/B0F5QF8W8M?s=books

Zakaria points to rising spending, higher taxes, and disappointing results in many urban areas long run by the left. But will this stop Zakaria and other lefties from carrying the water for Democrats when election season comes around?Next, they brace for a long State of the Union address from President Trump tonight. They also urge him to get specific about why there may soon be military action against Iran and why it might be needed. And there are new reports out about what Iran may do in response to any U.S. military action.Finally, they recoil as Candace Owens prepares to launch an entire series aimed at assassinating the character of Erika Kirk. In addition to denouncing Owens, Jim wants to know where Charlie Kirk's supposed friends are when Kirk's widow is the target of such vile content.Please visit our great sponsors:Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLLive better, longer with BUBS Naturals.

    Hello Again! Es geht drunter und drüber im internationalen Fußball: Das endgültige Aus der Super League ist besiegelt, nachdem nun auch Real Madrid als letzter Verein das Projekt verlassen hat, und wir begrüßen Ex-Schalke-Trainer Fred Rutten nach einem mittelschweren Erdbeben als neuen Nationaltrainer von Curaçao. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf die Gerüchteküche: Zieht es Paulo Dybala nach über zehn Jahren in der Serie A tatsächlich zu den Boca Juniors und welche Top-Stars müssen im Sommer als wahnwitzige Wahlversprechen im schmutzigen Präsidentschaftswahlkampf des FC Barcelona herhalten? Den 23. Spieltag haben wir natürlich auch dabei: Sehr sehr viele Fallrückzieher sind gefallen! Wir verneigen uns vor den unfassbaren Traumtoren von Ragnar Ache (der endgültig zu "Ragnarök" wird) und Matze Ginter. Außerdem analysieren wir Schalkes spielerisch überragenden 5:3-Offensiv-Rausch gegen Magdeburg inklusive einer „Fox in the Box“-Masterclass von Edin Dzeko, das kuriose 3:3-Torspektakel zwischen Heidenheim und Stuttgart sowie den bitteren Patzer von Torwart Mio Backhaus bei der Bremer Niederlage im Abstiegsduell gegen St. Pauli. Auch abseits des Platzes gibt es viel zu besprechen. Wir schwelgen in Nostalgie wegen des absurden Plans von Keisuke Honda, der einst knapp 49 % des österreichischen SV Horn kaufte, um den Verein in die Champions League zu führen und analysieren ein bisschen das wilde Interview von Spielerberater Roger Wittmann bei Ricardo Basile – inklusive komplett skurrilem Anruf bei Júlio César auf Portugiesisch.

    After all the planning and excitement, it's easy to feel discouraged when things don't turn out the way we hoped. We give our best, try to control every detail, and push ourselves to make our plans work. Slowly, joy fades, hope feels heavier, and we begin to wonder if anything good is still ahead. But in the middle of all that, have we forgotten that God has His own plans for us? Plans to prosper us, not to harm us.

The conversation dives into how the maple industry actually works, why most “maple syrup” on store shelves isn't what people think, and what it takes to turn an agricultural passion into a real business.Along the way, they discuss farming life, branding local products, and the realities of producing something natural in a world driven by mass production.Timestamps:[00:00] Trailer[00:58] Nikki Boxler's Origin Story[04:19] Why Launch a Maple Spin-Off Brand[06:11] How Maple Tapping Actually Works[12:57] Growth Plans for The Maple Farmer[17:45] How Nikki Sets Pricing[20:08] Saying No to Growth Opportunities[26:15] Getting Into the Outdoors[31:29] Plans for Agritourism[34:16] Managing Tree Health and Sustainability[39:01] Where to Find NikkiKey Takeaways:  • “Most of what's labeled maple syrup in stores isn't actually maple syrup.” ~Nikki Boxler• Standardizing your product and process early can make shipping, packaging, and scaling far simpler. ~Nikki Boxler• “It means more to me to keep it this size than to grow it just to make money off of it.” ~Nikki Boxler• Selling direct to consumers allows a level of connection and trust that disappears when you hand distribution to someone else. ~Nikki Boxler• “I literally am every single touch point… from tapping the tree to packaging.” ~Nikki Boxler• Nature, craftsmanship, and story are what make small brands memorable in a world of mass-produced products. ~Don Varady• People connect more deeply with products when they know who made them and where they came from. ~Steve BonConnect with Nikki Boxler:Website: https://themaplefarmer.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themaplefarmer/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@maplefarmer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikki-boxler/ Connect with Don and Steve…Don Varady:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.varady/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donvarady/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-varady-450896145 Steve Bon:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbon Instagram: https://instagram.com/stevebon8 Tune in to every episode on your favorite platform: Website: https://www.thefounderzlounge.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFounderzLounge Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Nurr4XjBE747qJ9Zjth0G Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-founderz-lounge/id1461825349 The Founderz Lounge is Powered By:Clean Eatz:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CleanEatzLife/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleaneatzlife/ Website: https://cleaneatz.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJRGrE-Xv4IMW_DbxSOTGGA Bon's Eye Marketing:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonseyemarketing Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ Website: https://bonseyeonline.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bonseyemarketing9477

    Life does not move in straight lines. Plans change. People leave. Seasons shift. Pressure arrives without warning. In Built for Disruption, we examine the reality that disruption is not something to avoid but something to prepare for. This episode unpacks a foundational truth: when pressure hits, you do not rise to the occasion. You fall back on your preparation. Adaptability is not discovered in crisis. It is built in calm seasons through daily discipline, structure, and intentional discomfort. We explore how disruption reveals what you have actually built your life on. If stability depends on comfort or outcomes, disruption will shake you. If identity is tied to a role or title, disruption will threaten you. But when identity is anchored in values and reinforced by consistent discipline, disruption becomes a refining force rather than a destructive one. This conversation also introduces practical steps for building capacity. Protecting non negotiables. Training discomfort on purpose. Separating emotion from identity. Increasing margin before it is required. Deciding who you are before pressure demands it. Leadership maturity is not measured by how well you perform when things are predictable. It is revealed by how steady you remain when everything shifts. Disruption is coming. Preparation is optional. This episode challenges you to choose discipline now so that when life demands hard things later, you are ready. Thank you for joining us on this insightful journey!

Vasco brings serious field credibility. He led initiatives at Nokia involving 500 people, 100 teams, across four continents. And he saw projects fail not because the work was impossible --- but because leaders trusted the plan more than the evidence unfolding in real time. This conversation hits home for construction and project management professionals who operate under pressure, contracts, and commitments. Key Takeaways -

    Pisces season is the pre-beginning of the zodiac year. It is the liminal space before Aries, when things are still forming, dissolving, clarifying, and choosing. In this episode, I walk through what Pisces season tends to stir up, and why this particular Pisces season matters in a bigger, longer arc.The headline is the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries (Feb 20). We have been building toward this since last summer. Neptune brings the dream, the vision, the imagination. Saturn brings the structure, the commitment, the foundation that makes something real. I talk about how I'm working with it in practice: writing it down, making a plan, building scaffolding, and taking tangible steps so the vision actually has somewhere to land.From there, we move into the rest of Pisces season's timeline: eclipse season, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, Mars entering Pisces, and the Virgo lunar eclipse that highlights the Pisces–Virgo polarity (oneness vs discernment, spirituality vs practicality, intuition vs the calendar). I close with the pivot point that changes the temperature entirely: March 20, the astrological new year, when the Sun enters Aries and Mercury stations direct, lighting up one of the most Aries-activated days I have ever seen on a chart.Episode timestamps00:00 Pisces Season Begins: Big Transits, Eclipses & the ‘Grand Finale' Energy00:48 What Pisces Really Means: Endings, Pre-Birth, Purpose & Interconnectedness03:11 Saturn–Neptune at 0° Aries: Turning Dreams Into Reality (How to Work With It)06:03 Practical Manifestation Tips: Lists, Plans, and Building Saturn Scaffolding09:10 Key Dates Kick Off: Mars–Chiron + Venus Trine Jupiter (Healing Meets Ease)12:36 Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: Shadow Clues, Re-words, and Water-Sign Caution14:58 Feb 27 Power Day: Mars Square Uranus + Sun Conj North Node + Mercury Conj Venus19:10 Mars Enters Pisces: Motivation in the Mist & Acting With Compassion22:24 March 3 Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: Pisces vs Virgo, Discernment, and Jupiter Release Valve27:33 Eclipse Family Themes: Looking Up Bernadette Brady's Take28:07 Mercury Retrograde + Eclipse Season Wrap-Up: Slow Down & Communicate29:55 Early March Sweet Spots: Venus–Uranus & Sun–Jupiter Good Vibes31:16 Venus Enters Aries: Passion, Risk-Taking & Relationship Heat32:35 March 7–8 Clarity & Magnetism: Mercury Cazimi + Saturn–Neptune Activation35:24 Transformation & Forward Motion: Venus–Pluto + Jupiter Stations Direct38:24 Fated Action Points: Mars–North Node & Mercury–Mars During Retrograde39:45 March 18–19 Tension, Breakthroughs & Healing Closure (Chiron–Eris)42:58 Astrological New Year Ignition: Sun into Aries + Mercury Direct45:45 Chart Rundown & The Most Aries Day Ever: 7 Planets in Aries (March 20)50:14 Final Takeaways: Choosing the First Step Into Your New IdentityWork with meJournée (membership): Join hereCosmic Consult (1:1): Book here — we'll look at what's being activated in your chart and map the next right stepWhere to find mecosmicmoves.com

    Plans fell apart, flights were missed, and a path everyone assumed was right suddenly closed. That's where our story starts—and where discipleship gets real. We walk through Acts 16 as Paul, Silas, and Timothy face a string of divine “no's,” only to receive the Macedonian call that reframes their entire mission. Along the way, we explore how God guides ordinary people through closed doors, Scripture illuminated by the Spirit, quiet promptings that align with Jesus' mission, and the steady wisdom of trusted believers.We also share a modern mission account: a missed flight that felt like failure, a flooded camp that proved it was protection, and a reroute that preserved a vital trip to serve vulnerable children. It's a vivid reminder that detours can be deliverance and that providence often looks like inconvenience on day one. These moments teach us to pray when doors shut, to move when doors open, and to seek confirmation in community rather than chase impressions alone.The heartbeat of this conversation is commitment. Luke changes one word—“they” to “we”—and reveals a turning point from observer to disciple. We wrestle with Jesus' call to be all in: to obey when direction shifts, to love one another without reserve, and to let our daily work become worship. If you've been stuck between plans and purpose, this journey through Acts 16 offers clarity, courage, and a practical grid for discernment: watch the doors, read the Word, listen to the Spirit, and weigh it with wise counsel.Video available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77g3p5zz0RA

    Five Questions a Wise Person Asks

    Broadcasts – Christian Working Woman

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 21, 2026 14:28


    You may be familiar with this verse from James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” God wants us to be wise, and the good news is, he will grant wisdom to us as we recognize our need for it and go to the source of all wisdom, our God. We also know from Scripture the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. We want the wisdom that God imparts, not the world's fake substitute. So, this is the pre-requisite: Do you fear the Lord? Do you know and respect the one true God through a personal relationship with his Son, Jesus?  That's where God's eternal wisdom begins. Assuming you do, here are the questions you need to ask yourself often. I believe these questions will help you avoid lots of trouble, keep you from shooting yourself in the foot, as we say, and greatly increase your effectiveness, regardless of where you are or what you're doing. Question #1: Do you think before you speak? How many times have you said something—jumped quickly to give your opinion or your advice or add your two cents—and as soon as you said it, you wished the ground would just swallow you whole? Proverbs 29:20 puts it so well: “Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.” I've often said, “I may not be good but I'm fast,” as though it is a good thing to be fast. Well, maybe it is sometimes, but to speak in haste is almost always a bad idea. Note there can be a difference between doing something with haste and doing something in haste. There are times when we do need to act with haste, quickly, for good reasons. David prays in Psalm 70:1, “Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me.” We often pray for God to act quickly, right? And then later in Psalm 119:60, the Psalmist says, “I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.” That's the kind of haste we all need. There's no question we should hasten to obey the Lord with no delay. But speaking in haste is speaking without giving it proper thought; speaking without thinking of how it could be perceived by someone else. It is speaking foolishly. The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Proverbs 12:18). When you choose your words carefully, thoughtfully, not in haste, you can do so much good. Proverbs 18:21 says: “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” So, if you want to be wise, ask yourself, “Do I speak words of life or death? Do I think before I speak?” Question #2: Did you sleep on it? The simple old adage, Sleep on it, can save you lots of trouble. A wise person takes time for decisions, big and small ones, because the choices and decisions we make on a daily basis set the direction of our lives. Think about decisions that you regret. I can easily bring some recent ones to my own mind, and when I look back on decisions that didn't turn out so good, it was always because I simply didn't “sleep on it,” didn't pray enough about it, didn't always seek good counsel. Again, from Proverbs 15:22, we read: “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Wise people seek counsel from those they trust. Wise people are able to live with delayed gratification, resisting the impulse to go for the immediate reward, the instant answer. How often do you tell yourself just to sleep on it, talk to somebody you trust, pray lots? I love this verse from Jeremiah 6:16a: “This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” When you're at a decision point, especially a fairly significant one, stand at that crossroad, ask for God's path, the good way. That's how you make wise decisions that bring soul rest for you. Question #3: Have you heard both sides? No doubt you've watched some courtroom drama, whether real or in a movie, where the defendant seems totally guilty until the defense gets the chance to present the other side. And what seemed so right before now seems totally wrong. Proverbs 18:17 talks about that: “In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines.” When someone is telling you their side of some story, before you take sides, before you get into gear to take some action, before you affirm that person, find out the other side. Do your own cross-examination and make sure you have the whole truth and nothing but the truth! There's a story in 2 Samuel chapter nine about King David who was on the run because of his son Absalom’s rebellion. A man named Ziba approached him; he was the servant of Mephibosheth, who was a crippled man who truly loved King David. But Ziba told David that Mephibosheth stayed behind in Jerusalem to reclaim his grandfather Saul’s kingdom—in other words, to take David's place—which was a lie. But David believed him and gave Ziba all of Mephibosheth's possessions. When David and his men finally returned to Jerusalem, Mephibosheth came to meet the king. Then David learned that Mephibosheth stayed in Jerusalem because Ziba, his servant, refused to saddle his donkey which prevented him from going with the king, because he was crippled and couldn't saddle it himself. So, when David discovered the other side of the story, he tried to correct his mistake, but there wasn't much he could do. Just think of the harm that is so often done because someone acted before they knew the whole story.  A wise person asks, “Have I heard both sides?” Question #4: Are you reacting or responding? A reaction is usually very emotional and often is full of feelings of revenge or defensiveness. Someone hurts your feelings and you react by trying to hurt them in some way. Someone treats you unfairly and in anger you ventilate your feelings about that person or even to that person. Those are reactions. A response is a delayed reaction, where you wait until your emotions are under control. Let me give you an example of reacting versus responding. Suppose you have a co-worker and every time she opens her mouth, it seems that bad news comes out. This person never has anything nice to say about anyone or anything, and all day long you are forced to listen to her negative chatter. What does that person do to you? If you’re in react mode, this person makes you angry, irritated, and frustrated. Having to listen to all that negative talk starts to make you think and talk negatively. That’s a reaction. It’s your automatic involuntary behavior, which is caused by that external stimuli—a negative co-worker. However, you can decide to respond instead of react. A response might be a smile when she says something negative to you. Or you may say something positive in response to her negative words. That positive response will help to keep you from being irritated and frustrated, and it will offset her negative input by your positive one, which will keep you from getting negative like your co-worker. Another response to this negative co-worker might be that you simply remove yourself from her company when you can, to avoid being exposed to her negativity. Or perhaps just develop a technique of quietly changing the subject! Now, you can see a response takes some self-control and discipline on your part. First, you have to be aware of the fact you have a tendency to react poorly in this circumstance, and then you must have an alternate strategy to tell you how to respond, so that you aren’t reacting. Question #5: Are you judging a book by its cover? We all have a tendency to do this. Someone dresses very differently from the way you dress, someone has tattoos all over their body, someone has a different political view from yours—there are just so many ways that we form hard and fast opinions and ideas about people or about a situation just by the way they look—by what you see on the outside. How many people in your life are dear friends, and yet they look very different from you? They have different backgrounds, different life experiences, come from different cultures, and yet they are dear people you know and love. If you judged them by their “cover,” you might never have become good friends. I think of a person in my church, Miss Shirley, who is now with Jesus, who made it her job to stand at the front door every Sunday and welcome everyone. It was her purpose to find a stranger and make that stranger feel welcome. When I first met Miss Shirley, I wanted to take her to a hair stylist and buy her some new clothes. She did not look like she should be welcoming people at the front door! I judged her by her cover, but I came to know her as one of the most effective people in our church. She was loved by so many, and she welcomed so many people into our church who might otherwise never have connected with us. I wish we had a hundred Miss Shirleys. God used her simple appearance to break down barriers, and she was a powerhouse for the Lord. So here are the five questions a wise person will ask herself often: Do I think before I speak? Did I sleep on it? Have I heard both sides? Am I reacting or responding? Am I judging a book by its cover? Proverbs 3:13 says: “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.” No matter who you are, how young or how old, you can find wisdom and you will be blessed. I believe these five questions will help you.

    Send a text“My days are past. My purposes are broken.” Job's raw confession sets the stage for a searching conversation about what to do when your plans collapse and your heart feels empty. We sit with the ache, then move through it, asking harder questions: How do we finish strong when the road is longer than our strength? What counts as faithfulness when resources are thin and time feels short? Where does hope live when optimism rings hollow?We start by honoring lament. Job's words aren't faithlessness; they're faith under pressure. From there we pivot to the trap of baptized ambition: the stories we tell ourselves about doing more “once we have more.” The cure is simpler than we want and braver than we expect—steward the small today. Scripture grounds the turn: trials produce steadfastness; refinement yields gold. Instead of chasing a perfect plan, we talk about the next obedient step and how those steps become a life that hears “Well done.”Our guests bring vivid angles. One frames discipleship as a long war of attrition that needs both gravity and gladness. Another treats every workplace hallway as a mission field, reminding us that light is meant to be seen. We reflect on what actually lasts before God, why vanity withers under eternal measures, and how to clear preventable regrets now—reconcile, serve, speak, show up. And we revisit Job's self-diagnosis to learn a vital lesson: what looks final may be formative. Providence can interrupt our designs without derailing our true purpose.Hope, then, isn't naive cheer. It is trust that the Refiner knows the fire's heat, that Christ is our consolation in the pit, and that grace equips ordinary obedience. Plans may break; the Promise holds. If this conversation lifts your eyes and steadies your steps, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review to help others find the show.

    Anshel Sag hosts episode 242 of the rebranded 6G Podcast and introduces new co-host Mike Dano (Ookla), noting the industry's “5G lull” and a shift toward 6G discussions. They discuss 5G Americas shutting down operations after years as a spectrum- and standards-focused trade association, framing the closure as a sign of cooling 5G interest and flat-to-negative RAN sales. Anshel covers Samsung and KT achieving a 3 Gbps downlink in 7 GHz using Keysight 6G test equipment and X-MIMO, noting the unclear bandwidth used and emphasizing that 6G progress is still largely experimental with mixed commercialization timelines (2028–2030). They debate 7 GHz as a key 6G band, propagation challenges (referencing Wi‑Fi 6E/7), the fading focus on terahertz bands, China's earlier stance on 6 GHz, and potential limited initial 6G deployments. Mike highlights an Ookla report on 5G standalone showing improved battery life versus NSA (EE +22%, O2 +11%) and argues operators under-market SA benefits. Anshel explains T-Mobile's John Saw concept of “kinetic tokens” for low-latency AI in motion (physical AI) across device/edge/cloud, tying it to use cases like real-time translation (5G Advanced, 50 languages) and ISAC for tracking and supporting drones, plus discussion of NVIDIA-based AI-RAN strategies and skepticism about cost and monetization of GPUs in base stations. Mike raises broader concerns about the AI data center boom, citing a projected $710B hyperscaler investment in 2026, power constraints (natural gas, gas turbines/jet engines), private high-bandwidth inter-data-center traffic, and questions about whether telecoms can capture AI value versus hyperscalers, while noting sovereign AI opportunities in countries with fewer data centers. They close with Microsoft and Ericsson integrating Ericsson Advanced Enterprise Mobility into Windows 11 (piloted on Surface 5G) to simplify secure enterprise 5G laptop management with Intune and eSIM provisioning, and discuss why cellular laptops haven't broadly taken off (cost, plans, coverage) and how Apple's modems and multi-carrier services might change adoption.00:00 Welcome & New Co-Host Mike Dano Joins the 6G Podcast01:10 Why the Rebrand Now: 5G Lull, MWC & Samsung Unpacked Tease02:03 5G Americas Shuts Down: What It Says About the Market Cycle05:41 Samsung + KT Hit 3 Gbps in 7 GHz: Early 6G Trial Reality Check07:32 Where 6G Spectrum Lands: 7 GHz, Propagation, and Terahertz Hype Fades12:58 Ookla Report Spotlight: 5G Standalone Boosts Battery Life (and Why It Matters)17:54 Kinetic Tokens & Physical AI: T-Mobile's Vision for Low-Latency 6G22:51 Is T-Mobile's “GPU in Every Base Station” Plan Actually Viable?24:16 The Edge Compute Case: Double-Dipping GPUs for AI + XR Graphics26:29 AI Wearables, AR Glasses, and Why 6G Timing Could Favor T-Mobile28:27 The $710B Data Center Boom: What Hyperscaler Spend Means for Telecom30:36 Powering AI: Natural Gas, Turbines, and the Nuclear Buildout Debate31:25 Neo-Clouds & AI Transport: Private Backbone Links, Akamai GPU Rentals, and Wall Street Doubts37:40 Microsoft + Ericsson Bring Enterprise 5G Management Natively to Windows 1140:00 Why 5G Laptops Still Haven't Taken Off (Cost, Plans, Battery, Coverage)41:41 What Changes in 6G: Apple Modems, Multi-Carrier Service, and the Road Ahead (Wrap-Up)

    1 Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise. 2 The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life. 3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling. 4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing. 5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out. 6 Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man? 7 A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him. 8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes. 9 Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?" 10 Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh. 11 Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right. 12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them. 13 Don't love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread. 14 "It's no good, it's no good," says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts. 15 There is gold and abundance of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel. 16 Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman. 17 Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel. 18 Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war! 19 He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips. 20 Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness. 21 An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won't be blessed in the end. 22 Don't say, "I will pay back evil." Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you. 23 Yahweh detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing. 24 A man's steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way? 25 It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows. 26 A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them. 27 The spirit of man is Yahweh's lamp, searching all his innermost parts. 28 Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love. 29 The glory of young men is their strength. The splendor of old men is their gray hair. 30 Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.

    The only constant is change. You've heard it a thousand times. But here's what the cliche leaves out: Change may be inevitable, but how you respond to it — and who you become because of it — that part's up to you. Maya Shankar knows a thing or two about this. She's studied change as a cognitive scientist, explored it on her podcast “A Slight Change of Plans,” and now written a book — The Other Side of Change — about how the hardest moments of our lives can transform us … for the better. In the book, she tells remarkable stories of people overcoming colossal change — debilitating diagnoses, amnesia, incarceration — and extracts universal lessons grounded in the latest science. “When a big change happens to us,” she tells us in this episode, “it can feel like a personal apocalypse of sorts. And that the word apocalypse comes from the Greek word apokálypsis, which actually means revelation. That etymology is instructive. Change can upend us, yes. But it can also reveal things to us.” * * * Watch The Next Big Idea on YouTube! You can find our episodes ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.

    Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and frames the growing misinformation problem, citing low trust in traditional media , the rise of influencer-based news consumption among 18–29 year olds, research that false news spreads faster than truth on Twitter, and the World Economic Forum ranking misinformation/disinformation as the most severe global risk in 2024 and 2025. He interviews Dr. Avi Tuschman (Stanford StartX serial entrepreneur; Stanford doctorate in anthropological science; expert on human political bias) about Cricket (C-R-I-C-K-I-T), an AI tool that provides real-time in-stream fact checks for social media videos, starting with YouTube on desktop. The discussion covers why misinformation spreads (high-arousal content, negativity bias, suggestibility, and attention scarcity), why it affects everyone (including errors/omissions/exaggerations in reputable content), and the relationship between media ecosystems, polarization, and a global democratic recession. Avi raises concerns about TikTok's influence, urging people over 30 to review its “society” content, citing examples of high-production misinformation, alleged foreign influence efforts, elevated WWII revisionism compared with Instagram (UNESCO figure of 5.7x), and medical misinformation (e.g., a study finding ~25% of asthma content has significant misrepresentations and is overrepresented in viewing). He describes Cricket's user experience as subtitle-like overlays with a pause expansion panel summarizing evidence in ~40–50 words, and positions it as a tool to build media literacy and critical thinking—like a flight simulator for evaluating persuasion and uncertainty. Plans include mobile support and additional platforms, potentially later in the year, though TikTok is not supported yet.

    Allergies are more than just springtime sniffles—and they're affecting more people than ever. In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn sits down with pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin, author of All About Allergies, to break down what's really going on in your immune system and what actually helps. You'll learn why hay fever is getting worse (and why climate change plays a role), the “3 pillars” approach to treating allergic rhinitis, when allergy shots make sense, and why blanket food allergy testing can do more harm than good. Plus, Dr. Rubin unpacks surprising—and very real—conditions like alpha-gal syndrome (a tick bite that can trigger a red meat allergy), aquagenic urticaria (hives from water), and why so many people mistakenly think they're allergic to penicillin. Practical, evidence-based, and packed with takeaways you can use right away—especially if allergies are disrupting your life or your family's.

In this special episode from our friends at A Slight Change of Plans, cognitive behavioral scientist and bestselling author Dr. Maya Shankar looks at how friendships expand our sense of self. Maya is joined by psychologist Dr. Marisa Franco, who offers research-based strategies to make new friends and deepen our existing friendships, including helpful concepts like mutuality and the mere-exposure effect. Marisa and Maya also discuss how to stay friends through big life changes, why fighting could make your friendship stronger, and how to break up with a friend with clarity and kindness.On A Slight Change of Plans, Maya explores how we experience change and provides strategies we can use to better navigate moments of upheaval.
