Michael explains Trump's mob-boss, witness intimidation playbook for pressuring people to not testify against him. Followed by an encore broadcast of Soledad O'Brien's January 6th, 2021 Mea Culpa interview. 

The billable hour has survived a lot of threats, from alternative fee arrangements to client procurement, but this episode makes the case that AI changes the pressure level. We open with a blunt assessment, time compresses, clients push back, and the old strategy of “work more to earn more” stops scaling. Enter Stefan Cisla, co-founder and CEO of Ayora, who frames the moment as less a tech problem and more an operating model problem. Law firms still place P&L accountability on individual partners who carry deep legal specialization, then ask them to moonlight as revenue managers. Stefan argues firms are starting to replace that fragile setup with tools that support decision-making across pricing, budgeting, and matter management.Stefan's origin story is half high finance, half clinical decision science. He came out of investment banking and professional services transactions, his co-founder Dr. Gordon McKenzie came out of surgery and a PhD path tied to decision science and software. Together they pulled lessons from clinical triage and continuous improvement into the law firm context, focusing on how experts make better decisions under constraints. The hosts tease out the cultural weirdness at the center of the partnership model. Partners often take the long view for client relationships, yet short-term firm economics still take damage through write-offs, scope creep, and messy budgeting. Stefan's pitch is reconciliation, align client-first instincts with firmer, data-backed pricing and project discipline.A core anchor for the conversation is the often-quoted $36 billion annual “value gap,” described as preventable revenue leakage tied to write-offs, weak billing practices, bad data, and poor working capital hygiene. Stefan suggests the number matters less than the trend line. AI pushes a new kind of risk, mispricing innovation. If AI reduces billable hours, firms face a squeeze between steep rate increases and client resistance, then end up forced to express value in new ways. The show leans into a spicy idea, the push to change is no longer only client-driven. Stefan sees rising pressure from inside firms, often from the CFO and operations leaders trying to fund AI investment and protect cash flows in a higher-interest-rate environment. Greg sums it up with the line, “the call is coming from inside the house.”Ayora's product angle lands on two hard truths, pricing tools in legal have a rough track record, and law firm data quality has been a “25-year overnight problem.” Stefan explains why earlier tools struggled, low urgency when billable hours printed money, ugly underlying time and matter data, and products that were either too complex for occasional users or too simplistic for real-world exceptions. Ayora's bet is that the data problem is solvable. Stefan describes adoption as a joint change strategy, with peers inside the firm as allies, and lots of direct conversations with lawyers to build trust in the recommendations. On the “generational gap” question, he leans toward curiosity over age. Some of their heaviest users have plenty of gray hair, and they tend to be the lawyers who care about how a practice runs. For his personal AI usage, Stefan gives an honest founder answer, meal planning for a two-year-old, automating company chores, and using AI as a sparring partner, with Notion as his favorite tool. His crystal ball point is one law firm leaders should underline twice, gross margin dynamics get messier as tech and LLM costs become part of the delivery mix, and the distance between inputs and outputs grows, driving both consolidation pressure and a new wave of innovation. [Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ayora website: ayora.aiLinks:Transcript

I speak with Bruce Berglund, the author of The Moscow Playbook: How Russia Used, Abused, and Transformed Sports in the Hunt for Power, which is a fascinating journey through the world of Soviet sports and its intricate ties to politics as a means of soft power and national pride. We learn how the Soviets achieved strategic advantage through women's sports, the abuse of amateur status, the controversial topic of doping and how sports science revolutionised the performance of athletes. Listeners will also hear about the iconic "Miracle on Ice" ice hockey game in 1980, where the U.S. amateur team defeated the seasoned Soviet professionals, and how this event was perceived on both sides of the Cold War divide.

Send a textAs makers with hobbies turned side-hustles, many of us get wrapped up in the ultimate goal and dream of quitting our day jobs to pursue pottery full time—but what if that pressure to monetize everything is actually stealing the joy from the very thing we fell in love with? Matt Robinson's experience first burning out on wedding photography taught him that the freedom to experiment, fail, and follow creative whims only exists when your livelihood isn't riding on what you make. Through six years of pottery alongside a flexible full-time job, Matt has learned that constantly trying new forms and glazes, worrying less about having only one “voice,” and posting to Instagram only when the spirit moves isn't a failure to build a "real" business—it's the luxury of keeping pottery as the side hobby, not the thing that pays the bills. Perhaps the real privilege isn't escaping the nine-to-five, but rather finding work that gives you enough time, energy, and financial security to make whatever you want, whenever you want, and releasing the financial pressure of needing every piece to sell.Love this podcast?

The Munich Security Conference kicks off on Friday — and it has turned into the marquee venue for Democrats with eyes toward 2028 to burnish their foreign policy bona fides. At least half a dozen Democrats who are tabbed as potential presidential contenders are descending on the conference that has become known as the Davos for the defense world. The rush to Munich follows last year's gathering, where VP JD Vance stunned attendees — and the world — by torching European leaders in a sharp speech from the stage. Playbook's Adam Wren and POLITICO's Chief EU Correspondent and host of the Brussels Playbook Podcast Zoya Sheftalovich break down everything to know about this year's Munich Security Conference.

Admiral Rickover — America's most famous, perhaps most influential admiral of the second half of the 20th century. To discuss his unbelievable life story, dramatic impact on the Cold War, and implications for the future of what the U.S. government should do when it tries to build hard things, we have two guests — Charles Yang, founder of the Center for Industrial Strategy, who also does AI science work at Renaissance Philanthropy, and Emmett Penney of FAI. We discuss: Rickover's immigrant origin story from Polish village to almost being deported at Ellis Island and his improbable path into the Naval Academy. Drive, discipline, expertise, and how Rickover bent Washington to his will. Rickover as tyrant, teacher, technocrat — what his contradictions reveal about leadership, power, and effectiveness. Why Rickover matters now — nuclear revival, defense procurement reform, engineers vs. lawyers, and a major archival digitization effort. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Joe and Robert break down one of the boldest marketing decisions the NFL has made in years and why it continues to pay off. NFL + Bad Bunny: A Strategic Win The NFL's move to spotlight Bad Bunny wasn't just a halftime performance decision. It was a strategic signal about where the league is headed as it expands globally and looks to connect with younger, more diverse audiences. Joe and Robert explore whether this marks a broader repositioning of the NFL brand and what marketers can learn from a legacy organization willing to evolve in public. This isn't about one performance. It's about how institutions modernize without losing their core. Super Bowl Ad Winners & Losers The guys break down the biggest hits and misses from this year's Super Bowl ad lineup. Which brands actually created impact? Who played it too safe? Did AI-driven ads live up to the hype or feel automated and forgettable? Some advertisers made bold cultural bets. Others blended into the background. Spotify's Big Earnings and the Hidden Opportunity Spotify's latest earnings report might signal something bigger than a financial rebound. Joe sees a potential opportunity for creators and marketers who understand the long-term value of owned audio audiences. Is podcasting and direct subscription audio still undervalued? Are marketers overlooking one of the most durable attention platforms available today? If you care about building direct audience leverage, this segment matters. Winners and Losers Joe's Winner: Markiplier's Iron Lung Markiplier's direct-to-theaters success with Iron Lung shows what creator-led distribution can look like without traditional Hollywood gatekeepers. Is this a preview of the next decade of media? Robert's Loser: AI Ads at the Super Bowl AI promised scale and personalization. On the biggest stage in advertising, many of those spots felt soulless and generic. Scale without taste is not a strategy. Rants and Raves Joe's Rant: TikTok Privacy Are creators and brands ignoring long-term privacy and platform risk for short-term reach? Robert's Commentary: The Overblown SaaS Apocalypse Robert pushes back on the constant doom-and-gloom narrative around SaaS and tech. Is the so-called apocalypse real, or just another overreaction cycle? Big Takeaway Legacy institutions are adapting. Creators are bypassing gatekeepers. Platforms are redefining monetization. The question for marketers is simple: Are you reacting to change, or positioning yourself to benefit from it?

Kylee's journey began in sports television and documentary work before pivoting into interactive media and ultimately decision intelligence—a shift inspired by her desire to remove industry gatekeepers and build systems that empower diverse thinking.Kylee unpacks the science behind why good leaders still make bad decisions, revealing how cognitive diversity—not just demographic diversity—is the missing ingredient in most executive teams. She breaks down the three hidden biases that compromise leadership groups (social, information, and capacity bias), why “smart people in the room” isn't enough, and how decision profiles dramatically change communication, hiring, fundraising, and strategic alignment.Through research from Dr. Juliet Burke and real-world examples from organizations like Enron, Kylee illustrates how teams drift toward sameness as companies scale, quietly erasing the diversity of thought needed for innovation. She also shares practical tactics for CEOs to improve decision quality—without slowing down execution—and how leaders can tailor communication to different decision styles for more buy-in, clarity, and outcomes.This episode is a masterclass on designing better rooms, better conversations, and ultimately, better decisions. TakeawaysCognitive diversity—not demographic diversity alone—is what prevents bad decisions in leadership teams.Most CEOs fall into just two decision-making styles, which creates blind spots and groupthink at scale.The “hippo effect” (highest-paid person's opinion) strongly influences decisions unless leaders intentionally speak last.Independence is critical in decision design; decisions made before people enter the room create false consensus.Structured diversity in decision profiles can reduce decision error by 30% and increase innovation by 20%.Decision profiles offer a practical way to identify missing perspectives (e.g., risk-focused, analytical, visionary).Leaders should audit each decision by asking: “Who is missing from this room?”Communication should match decision styles; most organizations inadvertently ignore analyzers, achievers, and risk-oriented leaders.Designing rooms—not relying on gut instinct—is the most reliable way to scale high-quality decisions.Chapters00:00 The Hidden Problem in Leadership Decisions01:12 Kylee's Journey: From TV to Decision Intelligence03:07 Early Wins & The Birth of Wizer04:45 When Gut Instinct Isn't Enough05:40 The Three Biases Undermining Every Leadership Team09:17 The Hippo Effect & Room Dynamics12:22 Cognitive Overload & Oversimplification14:16 Speed vs. Quality: Avoiding Paralysis by Analysis17:38 Cognitive Skew & The Enron Example19:07 The Seven Decision Profiles22:47 Small Teams & Practical Application25:55 Why Personality Tests Don't Work30:34 Cognitive Drift in Scaling Companies33:10 Conflict Entrepreneurs & Modern Culture34:08 Why the Wrong People Keep Making the Decisions36:00 Designing Better Interviews & Panels37:29 Messaging & Decision Styles41:27 Tailoring Communication Without Manipulation43:07 One Thing CEOs Should Implement This Week45:15 Mapping Your Organization with Wizer47:30 Kylee's Aha Moments & Reflections49:06 Closing Thoughts & What's NextKylee Ingram's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyleeingram/Resources and Links:⁠⁠⁠https://www.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcast.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright⁠

-Introduction TomTom isn't just “navigation” anymore. In this episode of the InsurTech Leadership Podcast, Josh Hollander talks with Vinod Poomalai, Head of InsurTech Product Marketing at TomTom, about how insurers are using location, map, and traffic intelligence to improve how they price risk, validate claims, and build telematics programs that actually produce underwriting signal. Guest bio Vinod Pumalai leads go-to-market for TomTom's insurance and InsurTech vertical. His work focuses on helping carriers, brokers, actuaries, and InsurTech teams integrate TomTom's location and traffic data into risk models, pricing engines, and telematics workflows—with a practical emphasis on adoption inside real operating environments. Key topics -From static territories to live location intelligence -Why “territory” is a crude proxy—and how mobility patterns add resolution to risk. -Territory risk models powered by traffic + map data -How insurers use location and traffic attributes to refine pricing and portfolio strategy. -Telematics enablement: APIs, SDKs, and flexible integration -What teams actually plug into, and what the implementation path looks like in practice. -Claims validation and fraud detection using mobility history -Using historical mobility/traffic context to validate events faster and reduce leakage. -Where experimentation becomes operational value -The difference between demos and workflows that move loss ratio outcomes. -What the insurance market is missing in location data -Why the market has been underserved—and what that creates as an opportunity. -Talent and leadership required to make it real -Product, data, and insurance domain collaboration: what “good” looks like inside carriers. Quotes -“The insurance market as a whole is very underserved when it comes to location data, traffic data, and so on.” -“At the end of the day, what our clients really care about… is loss ratios.” -“Customers are leveraging our traffic data in validating auto insurance claims.” Resources -Vinod Poomalai: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinod-kumar-poomalai/ -TomTom Insurtech: https://www.tomtom.com/solutions/insurtech/ -Joshua Hollander: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuarhollander/ If you found this useful, subscribe to the InsurTech Leadership Podcast on YouTube and your preferred podcast app. Share the episode with an underwriting, claims, or telematics leader on your team—and leave a review to help more operators find the show.

What does it take to become an Icon in finance? In this compelling episode, Heather Cole, Executive Coach and Business Analytics Advisor at Lodestar Solutions, interviews Judy Wright, CFO of BTM Global Consulting, LLC, FEI Board Member, and incoming 2026 President of FEI Twin Cities. Judy's journey is anything but conventional. Early in her career, she quit her job to test her resilience—borrowing inventory from her father and becoming a street vendor in China. Carrying merchandise by bus, negotiating for market space, and building a wholesale network from scratch, she proved to herself that she could survive—and thrive—under pressure. Today, she brings that same entrepreneurial instinct and composure to the CFO role at a global IT consulting firm. In this episode, Judy shares: Why being an “Icon” means paying it forward and mentoring the next generation of financial leaders The real ROI of networking—and why waiting until you need a job is too late Why finance professionals must develop emotional intelligence to lead effectively How to stay calm when everyone else is panicking (“If finance loses its cool, everyone does.”) The foundational skills future finance professionals must build in an AI-driven world The power of slowing down, finding purpose, and leading with intention Judy speaks openly about mentorship, faith, service, and the importance of personal development beyond the day job. Her message is clear: careers are built not just on technical skill, but on resilience, relationships, and the courage to lead with heart. This conversation is a must-listen for financial leaders who want to elevate their impact—professionally and personally.Special Guest: Judy Wright.

Two weeks ago I started this series (Episodes 487 and 488). I think it is critical for this year, given what we see in the current self-storage landscape. Effective revenue strategies are going to make the difference between well-performing assets this year and ones that fall behind due to pressures on operating expenses, as well as macro-economic pressures, which were outlined in last week's episode. In this episode, we will discuss another important way to have a major impact on your cash flow and revenue. Let's increase your add-on revenue in 2026 and beyond. Let's explore some of the usual suspects, then get creative.

In this forward-thinking episode, Sabine VanderLinden returns to kick off the year with a transformative discussion on “frontier firms” and the rise of agentic enterprises. As digital transformation accelerates, leaders face challenges like increasing climate risks, cyber threats, and widening protection gaps—pushing businesses (especially in regulated industries like insurance) to rethink strategies. Sabine explores how trailblazing organizations are leveraging AI not just as an assistant, but as an autonomous driver of capacity and productivity.  Through practical frameworks and real-world case studies, this episode lays out the playbook for riding the next wave of innovation, resilience, and growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS This year on Scouting for Growth, I wanted to regroup and make sure my podcast continues to deliver what matters most to you in the fast-paced transformation market. After a brief pause and reflection, and evaluating the insights from the World Economic Forum, with a clear sense that the world feels increasingly uninsurable—climate risk, cyber threats, and protection gaps are all expanding. But I believe that this narrative of uninsurability is simply a choice, not a certainty. I see a new class of leaders emerging, those who aren't just trying to manage risk but who are fundamentally changing how we approach it. Transformation isn't just happening in isolated labs; it's exploding at the convergence of capital, technology, and strategy—the true frontier of business. This is where agentic enterprises are emerging, blending human leadership with AI agents, forming digital workforces where competitive advantage depends on our agility with data, not just data ownership. Examples abound: Telstra is scaling AI across thousands of employees, UBS has put AI at the heart of its business via a Chief AI Officer, Mercedes-Benz uses digital twins and multiple agent systems to optimize production, and at Nestlé, AI is transforming everything from farm to fork. These companies aren't dabbling—they're fundamentally rethinking their models and leadership. My message is simple: the agentic frontier is not some distant theory—it's here and now. The uninsurable world is a choice, and you can choose to lead in this new paradigm. The tools and models exist, and the only question left is who has the courage to execute. As you listen and engage this year, I'll keep guiding you through these themes—helping you build, not just watch, the future unfold. BEST MOMENTS "The uninsurable world is a choice, not a certainty. While some twist their hands over these challenges, a new class of leaders is rewriting the rules of the game." "A frontier firm in the simplest terms is an organization that is human led but agent operated.

Donald Trump doesn't much like Pedro Sánchez — and the Spanish prime minister is perfectly fine with that. Unlike other European leaders who reflexively genuflect to the American president, Pedro Sánchez stands apart for his willingness to confront Trump—not for its own sake, but in service of a theory of politics that diverges sharply from many of his European counterparts. As my guest, journalist Dave Keating, puts it: "While other European leaders zig, Pedro Sánchez zags." Most recently, Sánchez enacted policies to regularize the immigration status of roughly 500,000 undocumented migrants living in Spain, granting work permits and other pathways to formally enter Spanish society and the economy. He has also resisted efforts to substantially increase defense spending, while boosting Spain's support for international development and foreign aid. In today's interview, we discuss Pedro Sánchez's unique standing in European politics, why he's sometimes shunned by other leaders in Brussels, and whether his experiment in regularizing half a million undocumented migrants can actually succeed. Dave Keating is the Brussels correspondent for France 24, writes the Gulf Stream Blues Substack, and is the author of the new book The Owned Continent: How to Free Europe from American Military, Economic, and Cultural Dependence.

The House voted to block President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, with six Republicans joining Democrats in the symbolic rebuke. While the future is unclear in the Senate, it amounts to a sharp political slap on Trump's wrists as Democrats line up more votes against Trump's tariffs with the midterms approaching and a consequential Supreme Court decision still looming. Meanwhile, Trump offered a fresh threat to Republicans who voted against the tariffs. Playbook's Jack Blanchard and White House reporter Megan Messerly discuss the vote ramifications.

In this episode of the Pursuit of Property Podcast, our hosts, Scott Farrow and Cade Berrett, sit down with real estate investor and systems builder Andrew Becker to talk about what it really takes to scale a real estate business without burning out. Andrew shares his journey from working at the Pentagon to building a high-volume real estate operation and how he eventually removed himself from the day-to-day by creating systems, playbooks, and automation that allow the business to run without him being involved in every decision.This conversation goes deep into the difference between being an operator versus being a true business owner. Andrew breaks down how most real estate entrepreneurs get stuck in the weeds because their business depends on them to function and how shifting to a systems-first mindset can completely change the trajectory of your growth. They also talk about hybrid real estate models that combine cash offers and listings, why most teams struggle with profitability even when they're doing high volume, and how bad data leads to bad decisions when you don't have clean systems in place.If you're a real estate investor, wholesaler, agent, or entrepreneur who feels capped by your time, overwhelmed by operations, or frustrated by inconsistent results, this episode will challenge how you think about building your business and show you what it looks like to design something that can scale without you being in every meeting, call, and deal.Guest: Andrew BeckerFounder of Billions CRM and host of the Team Lead Talks PodcastLearn more at https://joinbillions.comFollow Andrew on social media: @iamandrewbeckerListen to his podcast: Team Lead Talks Podcast

Autoimmune diseases like myasthenia gravis have long forced patients to trade daily function for chronic immunosuppression, but Cartesian Therapeutics is betting that its experimental RNA‑engineered CAR T cells can rewrite that equation. The company's lead experimental therapy, Descartes‑08, is designed to deliver deep, durable remissions through a short course of outpatient infusions that selectively eliminate the plasma cells driving disease, while sidestepping the toxicity and logistical hurdles of conventional DNA‑based CAR T therapies. We spoke to Carsten Brunn, CEO of Cartesian Therapeutics, about how the company's RNA‑engineered CAR T cells target the root cause of autoimmune diseases, data from its phase 2 study in myasthenia gravis, and the potential to expand the approach into myositis and other rare autoimmune indications.

What if you could create home equity and cash flow out of nothing? It's not magic. We've done it hundreds of times, and most real estate investors still think it's impossible; meanwhile, experts are making 30%-50% ROIs (return on investment) in places where nothing on the market will cash flow.  The secret? Value-add investing. Today, we're sharing the entire playbook, giving you actual examples and steps to turn basic properties into cash-flowing, high-appreciation investments. Your experts? James Dainard, arguably the best flipper in Seattle, who's done (literally) thousands of flips, BRRRRs, and value-add investments, and Henry Washington, making killer returns by finding hidden space most people miss.  We'll go easiest to hardest, so even beginners can get their foot in the door. Anything from painting walls and replacing floors can massively improve your returns. Take it up another level, and you're adding bedrooms and bathrooms, making a huge difference in the home. Finally, heavy value-add—want to rearrange the whole house and walk away with up to a 50% return? That's James' bread and butter. We'll give you the exact steps to take, the properties to look for with value-add potential, the people you need on your team to get it done, and when to build rather than buy and rehab.  See Dave, Henry, and James at the Value-Add Conference in Seattle! In This Episode We Cover The three types of value-add investments (easiest to hardest) and how much they can make  How value-add investing can boost your equity and cash flow on your rentals  The hidden “space” that can make a massive difference in home equity  The “core team” James uses on every renovation he completes  How to passively invest in a value-add renovation and learn how to do it while making a return Building vs. buying and renovating (which is more worth it?)  And So Much More!

Dr. Carol Johnston—Arizona State University nutrition professor and registered dietitian known online as “The Vinegar Lady”—joins Rob to break down what decades of research actually say about vinegar, blood glucose, and metabolic health. Johnston explains how her work began with an obscure 1988 rat study and led to a landmark 2004 Diabetes Care paper showing vinegar could blunt post-meal blood glucose spikes in people without diabetes, those with pre-diabetes, and those with type 2 diabetes. They dig into why vinegar still gets treated like “fringe” advice despite strong replication across countries—and why the mechanism overlaps with a major target of metformin. The conversation gets highly practical: why liquid vinegar matters (pills don't), how timing at the start of a meal changes outcomes, and the two core mechanisms—reduced starch digestion plus increased glucose uptake into muscle via GLUT4, similar to the effect of post-meal walking. Johnston also connects vinegar to the gut microbiome and acetate's growing role in brain and energy metabolism, sharing her own routine (on vegetables) and emerging findings on cognitive/depression measures supported by metabolomics. You'll also hear real-world implementations like homemade vinaigrettes (flip the ratio to 2:1 vinegar to oil), mustard as a stealth vinegar vehicle, and even “pickle sickles,” plus safety notes around dilution, enamel, and gastroparesis risk. Chapters: 00:01 Intro: “The Vinegar Lady” + why vinegar is on the table for diabetes 01:35 Johnston's background + why she studies simple, sustainable nutrition strategies 03:03 The 1988 rat study discovery → the first human trials with bagels + vinegar 04:32 Publishing in Diabetes Care (2004) + replication across the world 05:53 Why clinicians resist vinegar (“we have drugs for this”) + metformin overlap 10:28 Acetic acid, fermentation, and the gut microbiome connection (why it matters) 14:04 The two key mechanisms: starch digestion interference + faster muscle glucose uptake 22:46 Practical + safety: pills don't work, dilution, enamel/aspiration risk, timing with meals 25:53 Johnston's personal protocol + brain/cognition/depression angle + metabolomics support 46:47 Athletic applications: pickle juice, “pickle sickles,” mustard hack + where research goes next

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we explore a groundbreaking development in election integrity as John reveals the unsealed FBI affidavit that supports the search of the Fulton County election warehouse, leading to the seizure of approximately 700 boxes of ballots from the 2020 election. This significant document highlights serious irregularities in the vote counting process in Georgia, raising critical questions about the integrity of the electoral system.John discusses the findings of FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans, who interviewed witnesses and substantiated claims of impropriety in the election process. The affidavit identifies five major irregularities that echo previous reports from Just the News, including issues with ballot scanning and adjudication. As the narrative around the 2020 election continues to evolve, John emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in our electoral processes.The episode shifts focus to the events surrounding January 6th, as John outlines the FBI's prior knowledge of potential unrest and their strategies for prosecution. He critiques the dual standards of justice observed during the summer of 2020 compared to the treatment of January 6th defendants, prompting a deeper discussion about the implications of these actions on civil liberties and the rule of law.Joining John are three distinguished guests: Congressman Barry Loudermilk, who sheds light on the current January 6th investigation and the misuse of Capitol Police intelligence files; Congressman Troy Nehls, who shares his insights on the unraveling narrative surrounding January 6th and his personal experiences with Capitol Police; and former Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund, who discusses the preventable nature of the January 6th events and the pressures he faced from political leaders.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'm showing you how to build a magnetic brand and a bank account using your creative genius—no more building your brand backwards by chasing viral hooks while losing your soul to the AI noise of 2026. In this episode, I'm giving it to you clean with a bottom-up approach that focuses on your roots so your creative fruits can actually sustain themselves. Buckle in, because we're moving past the surface-level shizz to dive into the six foundational pieces—like personal mythology, brand archetypes, and real-ass magnetism—that turn your brand into a compounding investment and ensure you get paid the most for what comes easiest to you. I break down why the traditional "top-down" approach of focusing on tactics and aesthetics alone leads to a seething sense of incongruence and vanity metrics that don't equate to revenue. I share how to address the root of your brand by moving from performing for the masses to niching down and communicating your true essence.  Listen in as I share the six-part framework I use inside Creator Catalyst to help you stop chasing trends and start building a brand that is a compounding investment for your entire life. Here's a glance at what you'll learn from me in this episode: •    The Bottom-Up Philosophy: Why addressing the somatic roots of your brand is non-negotiable before you ever touch a posting schedule. •    Personal Mythology: How to use storytelling—the most ancient human technology—to build a world where your audience finds belonging. •    Philosophy and Principles: Why being polarizing and standing for your anti-values is exactly what creates deep trust and magnetism. •    Magnetism and Paradox: How to combine universal archetypes with your personality "plot twists" to become completely unforgettable. •    The Genius Trifecta: Identifying your medicine, skills, and mastery so you can get paid the most for what comes easiest to you. •    The Triple Threat Content Method: A system of Authority, Artistry, and Audience posts to keep you energized instead of exhausted.
