Freshly back from the NATO Summit, President Donald Trump's attention is now focused squarely on one thing: selling the Iran strike as an unmitigated success — regardless of what intelligence assessments say. Today the administration will focus on trying to shift the narrative — casting questions about the efficacy of the strikes as a slap in the face of American military pilots, and blaming Congress for the leaked intelligence reports that contradict Trump's claims. POLITICO White House reporter Megan Messerly joins Playbook author Jack Blanchard to walk through what to watch. Plus, the Democratic Party is only beginning to reckon with outsider candidate Zohran Mamdani's primary election upset in NYC.

Two stories from opposite sides of the globe have huge political implications today. First, in New York City, outsider candidate Zohran Mamdani pulled off a historic upset, defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for mayor. The seismic victory is sending shockwaves throughout American politics, with center-left Democrats gritting their teeth, progressives in a triumphant mood and Republicans lapping it all up. Across the Atlantic Ocean, President Donald Trump is at the NATO Summit at The Hague today, where he's expected to address the ongoing fallout from the U.S. strike on Iran and the fragile ceasefire between it and Israel. POLITICO White House reporter Megan Messerly joins Playbook author Jack Blanchard to unpack all that and more.

In this milestone 249th episode of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy kicks off the highly requested Podcast Playbook series with brutal honesty and real talk about what it actually takes to start—and sustain—a successful podcast. As one of the few shows to break into the top 1% globally with over 250 episodes, Kelly shares the behind-the-scenes truths that most people won't tell you. From fighting fear and imposter syndrome to the time, cost, and consistency required, this episode lays bare the emotional and tactical realities of podcasting in 2025. If you've ever considered launching your own show, this episode will either light your fire—or save you from a painful false start.More than just a technical how-to, Part 1 is a mindset check. It answers the real question: Is podcasting right for you and your business?

Whether you're a business owner, executive, or aspiring content creator, this is your must-listen starting point. Get ready to decide: Are you in for the long game, or just flirting with the idea?Key Takeaways: 1. Podcasting is a long game that requires consistent effort before any return shows up. Expect to invest months, not weeks.2. If you don't genuinely enjoy it, you'll burn out. Passion and energy are what keep you going when it gets tough.3. The biggest challenge is internal. Fear, self-doubt, and ego will try to stop you more than any technical hurdle.4. If you're an expert in your field, you owe it to the next generation to share what you know.5. Chasing trends won't sustain you. Podcasting only works long term if you're doing it for the right reasons.6. Each episode takes real time. From prep to post-production, it's hours of effort per release.7. Podcasting is about trust. Your listeners build a relationship with you, and that connection is your real asset.8. Small audiences can be incredibly powerful. Fifty loyal listeners can change your business if they're the right ones.9. Your podcast should tie into your greater mission. Done well, it becomes a growth engine for visibility, leads, and reputation.10. There is no easy button.

Joy Taylor enters the Underground Lounge and makes one thing clear from the jump, she's not here to play it safe. In a world where being seen and heard as a woman in sports can feel like walking a tightrope, Joy talks candidly about the highs, lows, and calculated risks it took to build her voice into a platform of power.The conversation kicks off with her early grind: how she carved out her lane in sports talk radio, built credibility in a male-dominated arena, and stayed true to herself while navigating rooms that often underestimated her.But it's not just about sports and success. The Lounge dives into the emotional layers, what it means to be a confident woman in a world that often labels confidence as arrogance. Joy opens up about protecting her peace, maintaining boundaries in relationships and business, and why emotional intelligence is just as important as strategy.She doesn't shy away from calling out the double standards, whether it's the way women are judged for their looks or tone, or how men sometimes confuse being challenged with being disrespected. There's real talk about power dynamics, the myth of the “intimidating woman,” and how Joy handles criticism with equal parts grace and grit.And of course, it wouldn't be the Lounge without laughs. The crew gets into some wild hypotheticals, dating debates, and Joy's unfiltered thoughts on everything from DM etiquette to the art of saying less and watching more. She shows us that intelligence, confidence, and sensuality can all exist in the same package, and that package doesn't owe you softness just to make you comfortable.This episode is part masterclass, part therapy session, and part comedy hour, with a guest who's lived it, earned it, and now owns it.

Most new managers aren't failing because they're bad at the job. They're failing because no one ever told them what the job actually is.In this episode, David talks with Lia Garvin, author of The New Manager Playbook, about the real barriers keeping new managers from delivering results. It's not a lack of ambition or intelligence. It's a complete absence of clear expectations, practical support, and trust—from both directions.They unpack why performance reviews so often feel arbitrary, how workplace surveillance backfires, and why calling your team a "family" is setting everyone up for disappointment. Whether you're newly promoted or managing the managers, this episode will reframe how you think about delegation, accountability, and what it really takes to lead.Related Links:Join the People Managing People community forumSubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Lia on LinkedInCheck out Lia's book: The New Manager Playbook and the Managing Made Simple podcastSupport the show

Can company culture be engineered as intentionally as a product roadmap - and should it be? In this episode, Lindsay sits down with Robert Wahbe, CEO of Highspot, to explore how purposeful leadership, clear guiding principles, and a bias toward action fuel both performance and purpose. Robert shares how Highspot created a culture that values speed, detail, and humanity - and why having more values, not fewer, might be the secret to making them stick. You'll hear them discuss: How Highspot built its culture through 11 guiding principles - and why quantity matters Why vague company values are "great for a poster" but useless in daily decision-making What it means to lead with urgency while still inspiring trust and deep respect How to balance bold innovation with attention to detail - and why those ideas often clash The real reasons product launches fail, and how to close the gap between vision and execution Why constraints drive creativity, and how purpose can act as a powerful constraint How AI powers insight at Highspot by helping companies amplify what works and fix what doesn't Resources: Robert Wahbe on the Highspot | LinkedIn Lindsay Pedersen - Contact me to tell me who you'd like to hear as a guest! | Connect with me on LinkedIn

The U.S. production base has slipped: China passed America in manufacturing output in 2011 and last year ran a surplus roughly equal to Britain's entire GDP; at current capacity, it would take the United States about eight years to replace key munitions at wartime production rates.The urgency has propelled an alliance of think tanks — the Foundation for American Innovation, American Compass, Institute for Progress, and  New American Industrial Alliance — to publish the Techno-Industrial Policy Playbook. Their proposals span three critical pillars: Industrial Power, Frontier Science and Technology, and National Security. They range from ambitious initiatives like "Project Paperclip 2.0" to fast-track foreign-born STEM PhDs, to establishing twenty “X-Labs” at $50 million each for transformative science funding. They also advocate for "Special Compute Zones" that would waive certain environmental requirements to rapidly scale up AI computing infrastructure, treating computational capacity with the same urgency America once reserved for World War II shipyards.As the United States finds itself at a techno-industrial crossroads, is America capable of marshaling the political will and institutional capacity needed to reverse decades of industrial decline? Can these ambitious proposals navigate the complex realities of American governance while delivering meaningful results? Or is this comprehensive vision destined to join countless other policy recommendations in Washington's archive of unfulfilled potential?Evan is joined by the architects behind this effort: Kelvin Yu, lead author and a non-resident fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation; Chris Griswold, Policy Director at American Compass; Santi Ruiz, Senior Editor at the Institute for Progress; and Robert Bellafiore, Managing Director for Policy at FAI.

On Saturday night, U.S. forces bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in what the Pentagon termed “Operation Midnight Hammer.” The consequences, which will likely be far-reaching, are only beginning to come into view. Does President Donald Trump want regime change in Iran? How would he square that pursuit with his America First pledges? What will it mean for nuclear talks? What sort of reprisals should we expect from Iran? Will Congress assert its war powers authority? And what does the world look like in the aftermath of the attacks? POLITICO White House reporter Megan Messerly joins Playbook author Jack Blanchard to unpack it all.

"It's not rocket science," says Brian McKeen about trial advocacy. His record-breaking verdicts may suggest otherwise.

From a $130 million med mal judgment to a $96 million trucking verdict, Brian reveals how deep medical knowledge and relentless case development unlock extraordinary outcomes. Most compelling are his civil rights cases against detention facilities, where he has leveraged video evidence to show neglect of vulnerable detainees.

The beautiful game has transformed into something far more complex than 22 players chasing a ball. Today's football exists as a sophisticated intellectual property ecosystem worth billions, where legal battles off the pitch often carry stakes as high as championship finals.From broadcasting rights that form the financial lifeblood of leagues worldwide to domain name disputes protecting women's tournaments, this episode takes you behind the scenes of football's invisible legal infrastructure. We explore landmark cases including Spain's €31.6 million judgment against streaming platform Roja Directa, the surprising $40 million award to the inventors of referee's vanishing spray, and Manchester United's curious lawsuit against Football Manager for using their name but not their logo.The player perspective receives special attention through cases involving Messi, Neymar, and Ronaldo's fights to control their own names as valuable commercial assets. We also examine Project Red Card's groundbreaking challenge to the uncompensated commercialization of player performance data – potentially reshaping how personal statistics are treated across all sports.Whether you're fascinated by sports business, intellectual property, or simply curious about the legal machinery powering the world's favorite sport, this episode delivers five essential takeaways that extend far beyond football. Discover why exclusivity isn't about ego but economics, how small innovations can yield massive legal victories, and why your name is only truly yours if you claim it through proper legal channels.

One story continues to dominate the conversation in Washington: the possibility of a U.S. strike in Iran. But even as the commentariat focuses on its potential geopolitical implications, its potential implications for American politics are no less real. President Donald Trump's MAGA base is split over what to do. Does Trump risk hemorrhaging support if he orders a strike? Or is the whole idea of a GOP civil war over Iran overhyped? Playbook contributing author Adam Wren joins editor Zack Stanton to talk through his reporting and discuss what it all means for the conflict at hand and the future of MAGA.

Karen Read's NARCISSIST Playbook: Blame Everyone Else | 12 Examples of Zero Accountability DESCRIPTION: PATHOLOGICAL BLAME-SHIFTING EXPOSED: In this psychological deep-dive, we examine how Karen Read has blamed literally EVERYONE except herself for John O'Keefe's death. From vast conspiracy theories to attacking grieving witnesses, Read displays textbook narcissistic behavior that mental health experts say reveals her guilt. The 12 most shocking examples of Read's blame game: Claiming the ENTIRE Canton Police Department framed her Accusing the Albert family of murder with zero evidence Blaming O'Keefe for "making her" drink and drive Attacking EMTs for "contaminating" the scene Accusing the snow plow driver of "destroying evidence" Claiming her own friends "misremembered" her confessions Blaming the judge for "bias" when rulings don't go her way Attacking the media while hiring a PR firm Accusing prosecutors of "hiding" non-existent evidence Blaming alcohol for her "not remembering" killing O'Keefe Claiming witnesses "conspired" to frame her before the body was found Even blaming the weather for "confusing" the evidence Dr. Patricia Matthews, clinical psychologist specializing in personality disorders, explains how narcissists create elaborate alternate realities where they're perpetual victims. Read's inability to accept ANY responsibility - even for undisputed facts like her drunk driving - reveals someone incapable of admitting guilt. We examine how this blame-shifting strategy has backfired spectacularly with the jury, who've watched Read point fingers at everyone while refusing to testify herself. When you accuse dozens of people of conspiracy but won't answer questions under oath, credibility dies. The victim here is John O'Keefe, but to hear Karen Read tell it, she's the real victim of everyone else's lies. Classic narcissist.
