On the July 20, 2026 broadcast of The Tara Show, host Tara Servatius and co-host Lee delve into a wide-ranging set of local political dynamics and international developments. The discussion focuses heavily on South Carolina's shifting political scene following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, critiquing the state's GOP "machine" and President Donald Trump's local endorsements—including his backing of Graham's sister, Darlene Graham Nordone. The hosts also examine national security concerns regarding Chinese influence over election systems and the Democratic Party, alongside a foreign policy debate over the International Criminal Court (ICC). Pointing to clashes between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani over potential warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Servatius contends that progressive efforts to leverage international tribunals aim to establish precedents for targeting U.S. political opponents.

When did we stop asking what we could do better and start looking for someone else to blame? In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast we examine one of the most common and costly habits in modern life: the blame game, and what Stoic philosophy says about how to break it.Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism. This episode is an honest look at how blame keeps us stuck, why it feels so comfortable, and what taking real responsibility for our lives actually looks like in practice.The shift did not happen overnight. A teacher approaching retirement described how in her early years, parents would tell underperforming children to work harder. Over time, that finger moved from the child to the teacher, from the self to everything outside it. That shift is not just happening in schools. It is happening in our relationships, our careers, and our inner lives.Epictetus placed blame squarely on the discipline of assent; we are not adding the correct judgment to what is happening. The discipline of desire reminds us that chasing externals makes blaming externals inevitable. And Epictetus described three stages of progress: the beginner blames everyone else, the intermediate blames themselves, and the advanced person simply does the work.The moment you stop blaming is the moment you start growing.Support the showviastoica.comYouTube: @viastoicaProduced by: Badmic.comNote: In the episode, I attributed the three stages of blame to Marcus Aurelius. This is actually from Epictetus, Enchiridion 5. The wisdom is the same; the source just needed correcting.

Stephen taught that Joseph was an early pointer of Christ: both were mistreated men, later used by God to rescue His people. 1. God cared for Joseph, even in a foreign land. (v.9-10) 2. God saved His people in a foreign land, using Joseph. (v.11-13) 3. Through the one rejected son, God kept His promise to bless the whole family. (v.14-16) Pointing to Christ: How did it start? Psalm 105:16-22 Mark 15:10 What does it mean 'the Lord is with him'? Gen. 39:21 Acts 10:38 What are we learning about God? 1 Timothy 2:13 Psalm 25:22

Beacon building draws Planning Board's ire For the second straight month, Beacon Planning Board Chair John Gunn blasted the 364 Main St. development team on Tuesday (July 14) as the board parsed discrepancies between the nearly complete building and plans approved four years earlier. According to a spreadsheet submitted by the Poughkeepsie-based Baxter group, which purchased the property in 2024, at least 21 features on the fenced-off structure deviate from the approved site plan. Some changes were made to architectural drawings that were approved when building permits were issued, project officials said. Others were "field changes" approved, sometimes verbally, by city officials onsite. A final category listed applicant/contractor changes. The changes range from window-sill sizes and detailing and the installation of sidewall vents to more noticeable deviations such as the replacement of fire-rated windows with solid walls in stairwells and in a rooftop lobby. In another instance, standard double windows were installed instead of Juliet balconies. A patio at the front of the building was modified because the floor height and Main Street sidewalk were not accurately represented on drawings. Steps and gates next to the adjacent Masjid Ur Rashid mosque were on the site plan but never constructed. A canopy over the residential entrance was removed, with a recessed entryway constructed in its place. Custom wood windows with decorative trim on the storefront were replaced with aluminum windows with insulated metal panels. At least one change — replacing the approved thin-brick veneer with full-depth bricks — likely enhances structural integrity, though it's unclear whether the city approved it. "I've looked at the timeline," said Jason Anderson, the president of ADG Architects, a firm recently hired by Baxter. "The contractor came in, got the building permit and built what was on the drawings, with the exception of the field changes. We have a finished painting that we're trying now to correct." The inconsistencies infuriated Gunn, who acknowledged he was repeating himself. "Do you understand the position that this applicant put the city in?" he asked, his voice rising. "This is a goddamn mess, and you're asking us to help you fix a giant mistake. This is an ugly building. It's built poorly. It looks horrible." Pointing at diagrams, he shouted: "It's not what we approved!" The issues have also derailed the tenants who expected to occupy the building's 8,800 square feet of commercial space and 20 apartments. The owner of Pure Physique, a gym set to open on the first floor, said in a letter to the board that she has had to provide membership refunds while absorbing the financial impact "of a business that is fully prepared to open but is unable to operate." Most of the apartments had been rented, project attorney Taylor Palmer said, but about 25 percent of the tenants pulled out because the building lacks a certificate of occupancy. After more than an hour of back-and-forth, the developer agreed to confer in a work session with the city's consultants. "We need better ideas," Gunn said. The board could vote as early as next month on a proposal to convert a two-story brick building to a karaoke bar called The Howl. The project has received pushback from nearby residents, but Gunn said Tuesday that a city consultant agreed that the applicant's plans to mitigate noise "appear to be very robust." Eric Weitner, the applicant, said he had scaled back operating hours to 2 to 11 p.m. on Wednesday, 2 p.m. to midnight on Thursday, noon to 1:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 11 p.m. on Sunday. Sundays will no longer revert to Saturday hours on holiday weekends. There will be no parking in the rear of the building, which adjoins the residential neighborhood. Responding to public concerns, Weitner said staff at The Howl will conduct "perimeter checks" five times per eight-hour shift to keep patrons from congregating outside. Security ca...

Joining host Chethan Sathya, MD, are the three authors of Information Sick — Joanne Kenen, Joshua Sharfstein, MD and Lymari Morales — for a candid look at the erosion of trust in public health. Pointing to the collapse of local newsrooms, the rise of social media echo chambers, and the pressures of an election-year crisis, they reflect on how crisis communication moved from a single authoritative voice to a fragmented landscape where headlines overstate certainty, public health is underfunded, and leaders face threats.  Disclaimer: The opinions expressed herein are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Johns Hopkins University.

What is the sweet spot between digital project delivery and inclusive, diverse collaboration? Digital transformation is a significant player in the field of project delivery improvement and innovation. Sheryl Staub-French, a UBC Civil Engineering professor and 20-year infrastructure and building information modelling veteran, is the perfect spokesperson for its journey. Sheryl joins Evgenia for a conversation that centres change—both technological and cultural—for the betterment of the infrastructure industry. The sector is long (and infamously) plagued by the spectre of over-budget-and-over-time, and Sheryl's research seeks to uncover innovations that can shift this trend. It all starts, she stresses, at a systems level.  In their conversation, Evgenia and Sheryl explore Sheryl's leadership in equity, diversity, and inclusion, including her role as the first Associate Dean of ED&I in UBC's Faculty of Applied Science and the first female head of her department. Sheryl reflects on the persistent underrepresentation of women and Indigenous students in engineering, the importance of groundbreaking systems and culture change, and why inclusion of all kinds is not separate from project success. The discussion also burrows deep into the human and technical sides of infrastructure innovation. Pointing to specific successes in other countries, Sheryl argues that digital tools alone will not transform the industry unless owners, teams, and organizations are ready to change how they work together and implement that change at an organizational, not individual, level. Whether discussing BIM, IPD, AI, or engineering education, Sheryl returns to a core idea: better infrastructure delivery depends on better collaboration, better data, and better systems for bringing all voices and expertise into the work.Key takeawaysWhy Canada's lack of a national digital transformation strategy leaves infrastructure delivery behind its fellow G7 countries;How equity, diversity, and inclusion connect directly to better engineering education and on-the-ground outcomes;What's possible with a true, human-focused, collaborative IPD approach to infrastructure;Why collaboration requires aligned incentives, shared risk, shared reward, and trust—not just new tools;How AI could improve the efficiency and completeness of information commissioning and handover practices.Quote: “If people don't feel included, if it's not diverse, if all voices aren't being heard, it's not successful.” - Sheryl Staub-FrenchThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.comFollow Evgenia Jilina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ejilina/  Follow Sheryl Staub-French: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sstaubfrench/

I'll share practical tips to help you stop numbing, start paying attention, and work out what your misery is really trying to tell you. If you've been feeling flat and searching for how to feel better about life, this episode will help you make small, honest changes so you can find some balance and stop just going through the motions.

In this episode, Jake and Cory dig into reasons smart, successful people still make bad investment decisions. Pointing to recency bias, overconfidence, and financial media that markets fear and greed instead of sound strategy.  They break down their belief of compound interest (not stock picking) being a better path to retirement, and ways "save first, spend second" can solve more money problems than people realize.  The conversation wraps with a candid look at money in relationships. Reasons joint vs. separate accounts matter less than actually talking about finances, and ways couples can get aligned instead of avoiding the conversation altogether. --------------- Get your complimentary guide to retirement https://falconwealthadvisors.com/jake-falcon-book-signup.html?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=rr_ebook   Get Jake's weekly blog https://falconwealthadvisors.com/index.html?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=upticks#ID2GUSO1Sj8Upy1QWdqVxHOM   Question for Jake and Cory?

That realization led him to rethink leadership, purpose, and the assumptions that quietly shape our decisions.Together, Chris and Ray discuss why many leaders experience burnout despite investing in personal development, how hidden beliefs influence leadership effectiveness, and why meaningful transformation begins by questioning what we've always accepted as true.This episode offers a fresh perspective for leaders, entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals looking to move beyond constant performance and toward authentic, purpose-driven leadership.Guest: Ray Gage (https://www.linkedin.com/in/raygage-startwithstop/)Host: Chris Salem Sound: Mahesh Producer: Archita Puranik

Pointing to Edward's first symptom of Relapse–Remitting MS is tricky. From anxiety in his 20s, to poor sleep and numb hands, to back pain and difficulty walking, the road to diagnosis has been rocky. When he finally received confirmation—in the form of a terrifying MRI showing countless lesions on his brain and spine—Edward was a new father in his early 30s. Coming to terms with a lifelong condition that presents differently for everyone was a process that has slowly shifted his outlook on both his past and his future. In this episode, we speak with Edward about what his journey through symptoms and diagnosis looked like, and reflect on how facing down a debilitating illness can change your outlook on life if you let it. A musician from a young age, today Edward is exploring live performance with his solo project, Green Plastic Whistle, and facing an aversion to fame that derailed some previous opportunities. As he puts it, being told you have an unpredictable disease, that has the potential to impact anything from bladder function to your ability to see, really puts fear into perspective. With cautious optimism and a balanced take on the pros and cons of the medical system, Edward and Jesse delve into how you envision your future when you don't know what your health will hold. They explore the promising remyelination medications that have the MS community abuzz and what it's like to start a family in the midst of disease progression. Edward's experience with Multiple Sclerosis has given him a new perspective on how we prioritize our lives and what's possible when you begin to face the future without fear.

Thirty years after being convicted of murdering six women and girls, David Wood is now only weeks from dying by lethal injection. Pointing to the fact the only DNA ever recovered points to a different suspect, and new statements accusing police of setting him up, lawyer Greg Warchuk and his team are rushing to win a stay. The lawyers look for alternate suspects, elusive witnesses, and holes in the state's evidence, all as the clock ticks down to Wood's execution. Warchuk and the other attorneys pull at every lever to stop the process to save the life of a man they believe was wrongfully convicted — all while preparing themselves for the possibility he'll die anyway. From Serial Productions, The Marshall Project, and The New York Times comes the podcast “The Last 12 Weeks.” Host Maurice Chammah and producer Alvin Melathe give the audience an unprecedented look inside a legal team's efforts to find evidence and craft legal arguments that will pause the execution of David Wood, the so-called Desert Killer. Both WITH the attorneys and on their own, the journalists interview witnesses, investigators, and the accused serial killer himself in a literal story of life or death.

1. Explaining Their Nature 2. Teaching Their Significance 3. Pointing to Their Benefits This sermon explores the theological significance of a child's question regarding God's laws found in Deuteronomy 6. The speaker argues that such inquiries demonstrate the Holy Spirit's regenerating work within covenant children, prompting them to seek understanding rather than resisting duty. The father's response highlights three key aspects: the nature of the law as a witness to God's holiness and covenant friendship, the historical reality of redemption from Egypt as a type of Christ's salvation, and the benefits of preservation and righteousness for believers. The text emphasizes that keeping the law is not a burden but a delight and a necessary expression of love and reverence for God. Ultimately, the sermon urges parents to diligently teach their children these truths to counteract spiritual deception and nurture faith.

AI and drone warfare will force a “complete reimagining” of how conflict risk is calculated and insured, the chief executive of Lloyd's of London has warned, because traditional assumptions about how wars escalate may no longer hold.Patrick Tiernan, who runs the 337-year-old insurance marketplace, told the Big Boss Interview that autonomous weapons and AI-driven decision-making could remove the warning signs and diplomatic pauses that have historically allowed insurers to adjust cover as conflicts intensify.“When we talk about the way war is insured at the moment, it assumes that it'll build up, that there'll be breaks in there, and that you can increase the cover,” he said. “It's very possible that won't be the case as there is more drone warfare, more artificial intelligence in the decision-making. So we're going to have to completely reimagine how we cover that.”His warning comes as governments increase defence spending and NATO allies reassess their military commitments. Tiernan said Lloyd's must ensure it has the capacity to insure growth in defence, energy and infrastructure, while being clearer about which forms of defence it supports.He said the current risk environment is unlike anything in Lloyd's history, with physical infrastructure, data and cyber systems, financial services and the international rules-based order all under pressure at the same time. “We are very underprepared for the risks we're facing because we rely on things that maybe won't be there tomorrow,” he said.Tiernan also warned that the “protection gap” between economic losses and what is actually insured is widening. He said businesses and governments can no longer assume the state will step in when disaster strikes, arguing that high debt levels mean governments may not have the same financial firepower they had in the past.He called on governments to spell out what they will and will not protect, so private capital can price the remaining risk. Businesses, he said, are being “wilfully ignorant” if they fail to understand their exposure.A major state-backed cyberattack remains one of Lloyd's realistic disaster scenarios and could be “deeply crippling” to the global economy, Tiernan said. He added that take-up of cyber insurance remains too low, particularly among European SMEs, despite policies offering prevention and resilience support as well as financial cover.On the Strait of Hormuz, Tiernan said Lloyd's drew on lessons from previous Gulf shipping disruption and the Black Sea closure during the Ukraine war. Insurance capacity remained available, he said, with crew safety rather than the price of cover the main factor affecting shipping.He also argued that the insurance industry, and perhaps the wider economy, has lost some of its appetite for calculated risk since the financial crisis. Pointing to opportunities in undersea data centres, autonomous vehicles and AI-led drug development, he said: “The risk of missing out is greater than the risk of overstepping.”On climate, Tiernan said Lloyd's has added US flood, severe convective storm and fire to its realistic disaster scenarios, with flood, fire and drought all on an upward trajectory. He defended Lloyd's continued insurance of legal, unsanctioned fossil fuel activity, but said the market should use its capital to support new energy technologies including small modular reactors, nuclear fusion and renewables.

Your emotional detachment might be quietly wounding the people you love most. In PART 2 of our Father's Day LOOK-BACK, Jeff resurfaces five more conversations that hit different the second time around. ✅ Why your kids can feel when you've checked out emotionally ✅ How to stop pointing your kids to yourself as the source of life ✅ The dad who never raised his voice and what it did to his son ✅ What "unhurried presence" actually looks like in everyday moments ✅ The hard truth about emotional regulation every dad needs to hear SUMMARY In Part 2 of this Father's Day look-back series, Jeff Zaugg resurfaces five more powerful conversations from the past dad year, featuring Jeremy Pryor, Ted Cunningham, Pastor Tim Timberlake, Mac Lake, and Seth Dahl. The clips cover a dad's superpower of emotional detachment and how it can quietly wound the people he loves most, the faulty input-output theory of parenting and why God is the only true source of life, the transformative power of tone and speaking to the king in your child instead of the fool, the gift of unhurried presence and what it looks like to truly savor your kids, and the hard truth that a man who can't regulate his emotions forces his family to do it for him. This episode is a flyover packed with activation, challenge, and the kind of dad wisdom that sticks. KEY QUOTES "My kids can actually feel that. Like, if something were to happen to me, I think dad would be the least affected." — Jeremy Pryor, Ep. 415 "My source is Jesus, not you." — Ted Cunningham, Ep. 417 "In us we have both a fool and a king. The one that you address is the one that will respond." — Pastor Tim Timberlake, Ep. 424 "A posture of unhurried presence. So often we are present with our kids, but we're not present with our kids." — Mac Lake, Ep. 435 "A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him." — Seth Dahl, Ep. 429 TAKEAWAYS Your emotional detachment is a superpower that can become a weapon. Dads are wired to disconnect under pressure, and that's often a gift. But when that same skill gets used to keep your family at arm's length, your kids feel it. The question isn't how attached you feel. It's whether they feel attached to you. You were never meant to be the source. Pouring into your kids so they pour back into you is a trap. Your job, according to Deuteronomy 6, is to point them every single day to the only true source of life. Fire yourself. Fire your kids. God in heaven is the source. Tone is one of the greatest gifts a dad can give. Pastor Tim Timberlake's father never raised his voice, never disciplined from anger or frustration, and the love in his tone did the convicting. Your size, your volume, your first response, those things mark your kids. Speak to the king in them, not the fool. Unhurried presence is a posture, not a schedule. Mac Lake leaves adult conversations to throw a football for 60 minutes if that's what his grandkids want. The shift is simple but hard: let your kids be the thing that matters most in the moment, not an interruption to what actually matters. Emotional self-control is a fruit your family gets to eat. When you're getting triggered by your six-year-old, you're not parenting. You're asking them to regulate you. The Holy Spirit wants to grow self-control in you so your family is nourished by it. Your heart is upstream to everything in your home.

In this special Father's Day episode of the Journey of Hope Podcast, host Elio Constantine sits down with Heart for Lebanon President Camille Melki for an encouraging conversation about the challenges fathers face in today's rapidly changing world and the hope that can only be found in Christ.From war and economic uncertainty to cultural pressures and the growing influence of technology, fathers everywhere are navigating difficult circumstances while striving to protect, provide for, and lead their families. Camille shares biblical insights on the role of fathers, pointing listeners to the example of our Heavenly Father and the enduring truths found in Scripture.Throughout the conversation, Elio and Camille explore how fathers can remain grounded in their faith, lead with integrity, and trust God even when circumstances feel beyond their control.

The hosts amplify intense conservative panic and backlash surrounding the newly unsealed U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Pointing to blisters of criticism from *The New York Post* and *National Review*, the segment dissects leaked terms indicating the U.S. will prematurely lift its naval blockade, hand control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran, and permit un-sanctioned oil sales—all just to secure a 60-day window of technical talks. Citing a warning from General Jack Keane, the show disputes Trump and JD Vance's assertions that the arrangement protects against nuclear expansion, arguing instead that the absolute capitulation strips the U.S. and Israel of all geopolitical leverage.

Reacting to a record spike in threats against Republican legislators documented by the US Capitol Police, the hosts sound the alarm on what they view as a rising tide of left-wing political violence. The discussion centers on how the suspect in the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting, Luigi Mangione, is being treated as a "Che Guevara-style folk hero" by online radicals without condemnation from Democratic leadership. Pointing to alleged training camps run by groups like the Socialist Rifle Club, the hosts argue that foreign influence operations—particularly from China—are weaponizing social media algorithms to push the country toward civil unrest, and demand that conservatives build a massive media apparatus to punch back.

Julie Bates discusses her pointing lab's progress and focuses on the often-overlooked upland field: why handlers must prepare dogs for heat and build endurance, not rely on judges to save them. She stresses that the Triple Crown expects four positive bird contacts and encourages trainers to condition dogs and learn efficient field strategies. Practical advice covers heat conditioning, approaching the field with wind and bird placement in mind, and taking responsibility for a dog's safety and performance so competitions stay fair and dogs stay healthy.

**The Will to Win: Trump's 30% Blind Spot in the Iran Conflict** In this live Friday call-in segment, the host addresses a jam-packed week of political developments, beginning with the recent immigration raid in Abbeville, South Carolina. The monologue breaks down the severe, non-victimless reality of identity fraud facilitated by plant managers before transitioning to a lively exchange with a caller regarding national security, election integrity, and the efficacy of voter roll purges based on the Ron DeSantis Florida playbook. The core of the episode features a detailed debate with a caller from Simpsonville over the strategic paralysis defining the current conflict with Iran. Defending American military readiness against claims of supply-chain ossification and logistical quagmires, the host argues that the nation's primary hurdle is political will rather than capability. Pointing to Donald Trump's own admission that the U.S. halted operations with 30% of military targets left untouched, the host strongly criticizes the administration's decision to leave active Iranian radar installations and launch facilities intact. The commentary concludes with a demand for strategic clarity, questioning why the U.S. is turning off maritime transponders to hide from a regime it possesses the total capability to neutralize.

**The 43,000-Vote Flip: Ballot Harvesting and the War Over Voter Rolls** In this hard-hitting segment, the hosts dissect the dramatic reversal in the Los Angeles mayoral primary race, where candidate Spencer Pratt's initial 40,000-vote lead over progressive Nithya Raman completely evaporated into a 43,000-vote swing days after election night. The commentary levels a critical gaze at California's highly opaque voting system, highlighting how a week-long mail-in ballot extension window and zero mandatory chain of custody over collected ballots open the door to widespread harvesting vulnerabilities within vulnerable populations. The monologue connects these localized election results to broader systemic clashes. Pointing to Judicial Watch's legal battle to scrub over 870,000 dead or relocated individuals from California's universal mail-in registry, the host details a multi-layered counteroffensive from the executive branch. This includes the White House Fraud Task Force stripping $250 million from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority for flagrant mismanagement, alongside a high-stakes legislative battle surrounding the SAVE Act to force comprehensive, federal-level voter roll compliance.

In this hard-hitting segment, the host sounds the alarm on what they describe as a totalitarian shift sweeping through Western nations like Australia and the UK. Pointing directly to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's latest device-level online safety proposals, the host breaks down how "saving the children" is being used as a deceptive Trojan horse to force data-tracking digital IDs onto everyday adults. The host aggressively calls out mainstream media outlets like Fox News for glossing over the real-world impact of these policies, which mirror authoritarian Chinese tracking systems. They also issue a major warning to American voters, detailing how similar legislation is gaining bipartisan traction in the U.S. Senate—and how local grassroots pushback is the only line of defense left to protect basic internet privacy!

This is the morning sermon at Ramah Baptist Church in Palmetto, GA on June 7, 2026.In this sermon from Matthew 6:25–34, Jesus calls his followers to stop worrying about food, drink, and clothing—the basic necessities of life. Pointing to the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, he shows that if God provides abundantly for them, he will certainly care for his people. Anxiety, Jesus teaches, reflects the mindset of those who do not know their heavenly Father, but his disciples have a God who already knows what they need. The antidote to worry is not self-reliance or indifference, but seeking first God's kingdom and his righteousness, trusting that everything else will be added as well. These verses remind every anxious heart that each day has enough trouble of its own—and that a good Father holds tomorrow.For more information about our church, visit www.ramahfbc.com.

Michael Walrath, Chairman and CEO of Yext, returns to break down why the market has left a profitable, $400 million mid-cap public software company trading at one times revenue, even with over $100 million in EBITDA. He joins AJ Bruno and Asad Zaman to argue that the so-called SaaS apocalypse has almost no data behind it, that most AI layoffs are really a decade of go-to-market overhiring unwinding, and that boring compounders still out-return the hypergrowth darlings. Topics include how venture capital distorts software valuations, why no one is coming to help the 2021 unicorns stuck in broken cap tables, the great GTM despecialization, and the extend-and-pretend game inside venture funds. Plus, a Quiz Pro Quo on new business creation in the US and a Bulls and Bears debate on the future of mid-cap software and the stickiness of the AI platform. Read Michael's essay, No One's Coming to Help You: https://x.com/michaelpwalrath/status/2051364181237010778 Key Takeaways: - The market has left profitable mid-cap software for dead in favor of AI-native growth stories, and Michael Walrath, Chairman and CEO at Yext, leaned into how strange that is for a business that still prints cash. As he put it, "who's writing our obituary? It's the venture capitalists who are funding high-growth ARR companies," even as those same firms can't say what that ARR really means. - The loudest voices setting software valuations are venture investors, and Michael argued their certainty is out of step with their actual hit rate. He called them "remarkably sure of themselves for guys whose whole business model is being right 5 to 10% of the time," noting that being right much more often than that would mean a VC is playing it too safe. - Michael's answer to the hypergrowth-or-die mindset is that durable value comes from compounding cash flow, not chasing the next high-growth story. Pointing to a century of market history and operators like Berkshire Hathaway and Liberty Media, he said, "if you compound effectively, you will out-return these super high growth stories, unless those super high growth stories eventually become compounders." - A lot of the layoffs being blamed on AI may be a decade of go-to-market overhiring finally unwinding. Michael framed the skeptic's question directly: "is it really AI? Or is this a choice that you're making because you overhired for 10 years." Asad Zaman, CEO at Sales Talent Agency, agreed, pointing out that even inside the most AI-native companies he visits, the fundamental way the business runs has not really changed.

The high priest's garments were designed to display the glory and beauty of God while foreshadowing Jesus, the greater and perfect High Priest. He bears our guilt on His heart, continually intercedes for us before the Father, and fully accomplished the redeeming work that the earthly priests could only symbolize.

Episode Description: In this episode of the “I AM” Series, we dive into one of Jesus' most comforting and powerful statements: “I am the Good Shepherd.” Jesus doesn't just describe Himself as a guide or teacher. He reveals Himself as the Shepherd who knows His sheep, calls them by name, leads them, protects them, and lays down His life for them. We unpack the meaning behind John 10, how it connects back to Ezekiel 34, and why Jesus' words would have carried so much weight to the people hearing Him. This conversation explores what separates the Good Shepherd from the hired hand, how Jesus fulfills what Israel's broken shepherds failed to do, and what it means for us to truly know His voice and follow Him today. Rooted in Scripture. Built for the outdoorsman. Pointing everything back to Christ. HRVST — Faith through the outdoors.

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones taught extensively on church history, specifically on the relationship between church and state. In this sermon on Romans 13:1–7 titled “Church and the State (4),” Dr. Lloyd-Jones turns his attention to the underlying foundation of the view proposing an alliance between church and state. How do they biblically defend their position? What biblical evidence do they portray to say this alliance is biblically sound and wise? He enters this controversial topic by looking at two specific confessions of faith, the Belgic Confession and the Westminster Confession. The bulk of these confessions' defense is taken from the Old Testament, with only one direct passage from the New Testament. Pointing to the position of Israel as a nation and Judaism as a religion, proponents of the alliance position maintain no distinction between Israel and the church in this way. Deviating from this position, Dr. Lloyd-Jones advocates for the separation of the church and state, based on the New Testament's teaching on the kingdom of God. As he handles this delicate discussion, he reminds his listeners of the importance of this new identity of believers: the reality that Christians are now citizens of the kingdom through rebirth and this kingdom consists of citizens from every nation and tongue.

MIT Media Lab's Mitchel Resnick speaks with us about the development of his Lifelong Kindergarten research group and their efforts to affect the educational landscape through creative technological activities. Throughout the conversation, we describe the shifts in academic environments, starting from the free-form, highly imaginative kindergarten rooms to the stricter halls of higher learning. Mitch relates these changes to different uses of technology within the classroom setting and the differences in learning methods. He emphasizes that participatory uses of technology, such as remixing media or sharing projects, invite creativity and community for students. We compare Mitch's practices to those used by fandom and liken them to building LEGO masterpieces without instructions; both emphasize the sharing of information and building communities. This conversation with Mitch is filled with the hope that curiosity and creativity will keep people as lifelong learners.       Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper: Academic/Educational readings and resources: Lifelong Kindergarten MIT Media Lab Mindstorms (book) Scratch platform OctoStudio A New Guide for Building Neurodiversity Oases for Connected Learning through Role Playing Games, FabLabs, Minecraft, BTS Fandom, and More (article) Pointing at the Wrong Villain: Cass Sunstein and Echo Chambers (article) #Republic: Divided Democracy in the Age of Social Media (book) Start with Questions: The Classroom as Design Studio (book) People & Places: Stewart Brand Natalie Rusk Seymour Papert  Henry writes about Papert's “Samba Schools” Jean Piaget Tod Machover Mizuko Ito West Coast Computer Faire Samba school Reggio Schools David Weinberger Cass R.

There's a theory making the rounds in the Nancy Guthrie investigation that frames the case as something far bigger than a single suspect operating alone. The theory is the Wrench Attack — organized crypto-extortion networks that recruit disposable operatives, target wealthy individuals or their relatives, and demand cryptocurrency ransoms paid through channels designed to be untraceable.Tony Brueski asks retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to take it apart honestly. Does it hold up? What about Nancy's case, specifically, could even loosely align with the model? And where does the theory hit its limits?Jennifer has the resume to do exactly this work. Twenty-eight years at the FBI. SWAT. Organized crime. Complex multi-agency investigations. She knows how these crypto-extortion rings operate from the inside, and she knows the difference between a serious analytical framework and a theory that's outrun the evidence.She walks through the operational pattern in detail. She references the recent Scottsdale incident — two California teens directed by handlers, given seed money, sent to commit a crypto-extortion home invasion on the same night Nancy Guthrie disappeared — and explains what that case demonstrates about how these networks function and how they recruit. She addresses why the digital forensic side of these operations is so hard to crack even with top federal and private expertise focused on it.Then she does what serious analysts do. She lays out what doesn't fit. She names where the publicly available evidence in Nancy's case fails to support the model. And she gives Tony — and the audience — an honest read on what would have to come into view for the theory to graduate from possibility to plausibility.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
