This week, we sit down with Phil Portman — serial entrepreneur, host of Let's Talk Success, and member of the Forbes Technology Council — who reveals the truth about what drives real, lasting success.Phil candidly explains that having ideas alone doesn't create success; execution is the true queen of achievement.

With simple, proven tactics for goal setting, Phil shares how writing down your goals and sharing them with accountability partners boosts your likelihood of success by 33 to 140 percent.Balancing the demands of work, family, and life is critical, and Phil offers practical advice on maintaining momentum without burning out. Above all, he emphasizes persistence and a “figure it out” mindset as the most powerful force you can harness to overcome fear, failure, and limiting beliefs on your entrepreneurial and leadership journey.Whether you're taking your first steps or scaling up your impact, this episode provides a battle-tested roadmap to reclaim your time, energy, and win big on your terms.

 In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Zach Portman discusses a new paper addressing the problem of ghost records in bee data. These records often lack physical specimens, creating challenges for verifying data of bee species. Dr. Portman explains the process and complications behind collecting and verifying bee data, emphasizing the importance of preserving specimens. The conversation also delves into the implications of ghost records for conservation efforts and taxonomy, proposing that funding agencies should require proper storage plans for collected specimens.

The penultimate horror film in Have You Ever Seen's 10th Annual Scary Movie Month was a blockbuster and an Oscar-winner. And that's unusual for the relentless and unsubtle director Darren Aronofsky. He isn't often rewarded so much for the chances he takes. This 693rd episode talks about how the intense Black Swan is women-centric, even as the women in it go through hell. Natalie Portman won Best Actress for playing a lonely ballet dancer who was deluded even before the movie started. Then after she gets the lead role in Swan Lake, she shows us levels of masochism, obsession and deep mental illness. Real versus imagined. Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey and Vincent Cassell hit some home runs too, with Hersey eating it up as Portman's possessive and abusive mother. So put on your feathers and get ready for an episode all about the sordid and dangerous world of ballet. Well, Actually: Mother! wasn't a complete failure at the box office and Noah didn't do THAT badly worldwide. Be a sweet girl (or a sweet boy) and write a review of this or any other HYES episode.

From the smoky streets of Little Italy to the milk-stained benches of a hitman's apartment, Born to Watch takes aim at one of the most unique and controversial action dramas of the '90s with its Leon: The Professional (1994) Review. In this week's episode, Whitey, Damo, and Dan on the Land dive deep into Luc Besson's stylish, unsettling, and surprisingly heartfelt film about an unlikely bond between a hitman and a 12-year-old girl.Would this movie be made today? Probably not. But that's part of its enduring intrigue. The crew revisit the world of Jean Reno's stoic assassin, Gary Oldman's manic DEA agent, and Natalie Portman's breakout performance as Matilda, the orphan who turns vengeance into a calling.As the boys reminisce, they take a nostalgic trip back to 1994, the year that gave us Green Day's Dookie, Nirvana's Unplugged, Pearl Jam's Vitalogy, and The Offspring's Smash. It was also the year they thought they were "arty as hell" watching French cinema in suburban multiplexes. Cue the milk, the braces, and the John Wayne impressions; this episode delivers the perfect blend of pop culture, humour, and heartfelt nostalgia that makes Born to Watch such a cult favourite.Damo questions the fascination with milk-drinking hitmen, Dan lists the defining albums of '94, and Whitey recalls seeing the film in cinemas, not realising it would later feel very different once he had an 11-year-old daughter of his own. Together, they unpack the film's layered characters:Leon (Jean Reno): slow, gentle, and dangerous, with an oddly pure soul.Matilda (Natalie Portman): vulnerable yet vengeful, performing far beyond her age in a debut that stunned the industry.Stansfield (Gary Oldman): a villain so unhinged, it's impossible to look away. His Beethoven-fuelled rampage remains one of the most gloriously overacted performances in movie history.The trio debates whether the film's tone, which sits somewhere between action, arthouse, and morality play, could survive modern scrutiny. There's talk of Luc Besson's eccentric direction, Portman's controlled emotional performance, and the film's moral discomfort that keeps audiences divided decades later.They also share behind-the-scenes gems, such as Portman's parents' restrictions on smoking scenes, her early mastery of on-screen crying, and Luc Besson's knack for finding raw emotion in unlikely places. Damo draws parallels to The Exorcist, Dan applauds Reno's physical subtlety, and Whitey argues that Portman should have received an Oscar nomination if not for Anna Paquin's earlier win for The Piano.The gang laugh their way through some classic Born to Watch segments:The Cry-Meter: Whitey admits to misty eyes (7.5%) during the early tragedy.The Snorb's Report: Featuring Elle Macpherson in Sirens, naturally.The Hit, Sleeper, and Dud: With shoutouts to The River Wild, Wagons East, and Legends of the Fall.By the end, the trio agree that Leon remains both haunting and hypnotic, a masterpiece of tone, performance, and ambiguity. It's a film that feels both dangerous and tender, and is completely unforgettable.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Was Gary Oldman the most unhinged villain of the '90s? Why do all hitmen love milk? Should Natalie Portman have won an Oscar for her debut?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off and it feels a lot more zany then the other two. Cut to Eden Hall - the ducks are all getting full ride athletic scholarships to be the JV hockey team at Eden Hall. But it's not all fun and games...Bombay tells Charlie that he's not going to be their coach. Charlie is mad. But at least he still has the Ducks. Charlie and the rest of the Ducks show up the first day and make quite the entrance. They get to their happy place - the ice - and immediately begin to play lasso just like the good ol' days. Suddenly, former NHL player Ted Orion comes skating up. He's the new coach. And he is very strict and no one hates him more than Charlie. The Ducks struggle to fit in at this school and are constantly bullied by the Varsity team who Coach Orion warned them not to mess with until they play at the JV Variety showdown. Coach tells Charlie that he's not the captain, moves the players to different positions, starts Julie the Cat over Goldberg, and moves Banks to Varsity. Charlie takes a liking to this girl named Linda and invites her to their first game, which she comes to. It's time for the first game and they absolutely dominate through 2 periods thanks to all of their silly gimmicks. 3rd period begins and they just forget how to play. They give up a ton of goals after not playing playing any defense. They give up 9 goals in one period and the game ends in a tie. Coach is mad. Charlie threatens to quit. And the varsity team puts their clothes in the shower. This leads to a full on prank war. Frozen jackets. Massive dinner bills. Full mission impossible stuff. This leads to an unsanctioned JV vs Varsity game that gets broken up by Orion. He tells them to take off their Duck jerseys. Charlie & Fulton refuse and quit. After a day of tomfoolery, Fulton decides to return to Eden Hall and Charlie is very sad. To make matters worse, Hans passes away. Bombay shows up late to the funeral. Bombay wakes Charlie up out of a slumber and tells him he's got some stuff to show him. They show up at Eden Hall and Charlie tells him that Orion's career ended when the team moved to Dallas and he stayed to care for his paraplegic daughter. Bombay tells Charlie the background story on how he first came to coach the Ducks and says he told Orion that Charlie was the heart and soul of the team, and he hoped that both Orion and Charlie would learn something from each other. The next day, Charlie shows up and tells Orion that he is ready to play two wake hockey. He's happy to have Charlie back. But the Dean shows up before they leave and tells them they're all losing their scholarships.Luckily, Bombay is still a lawyer and comes into a board meeting and threatens to sue them unless they reinstate their scholarships which the board agrees to. The Varsity team comes over and tells them they're going down at the JV/Varsity game, agree that if the JV wins, they become the Ducks, and they get Banks back too for the game. It's time. The JV/Varsity game and Orion brings back the Duck jerseys.Throughout the game, the Varsity dominates on offense. However, the Ducks play good defense and manage to keep the game scoreless after two periods. During the second intermission, Portman shows up ready to join the team. He immediately gets ejected. It all comes down to Charlie passing it back to Goldberg at the last second who scores. The ducks win 1-0!They all celebrate and Charlie sees that Bombay was in the stands this whole time. The Eden Hall banner with the Ducks' logo drops down & Bombay then departs the rink with a smile amid a sea of cheering fans.

Have you ever felt like your life has been delayed? Almost as if there has been an injustice to you? Delays can be part of God's process, even though they may seem frustrating. Through the story of Joseph, we see how delays do not indicate God's disinterest, but rather can be part of His plan to develop character and dependence. God's favor may not look like human favor, and we should trust in His timing and process!

Having President Trump's back is absolutely paramount. The Vance appointment raises huge questions. 98% negative response. How does he unify? He and Rob Portman are up to their neck in Ukrainian money. All the $$$ goes thru Vance's office. Where is it? This is how the Russia dossier was funded. Portman is in Ukraine more than the USA. What has Vance done as Senator? Absolutely nothing. Vance loves vaccines. Why not provide the banking documents. He needs to find the goods. Deals have been made. How is Vance good for America? Show us his record. The Ukrainian diaspora lives in Ohio and they love JD Vance. Big Mike tought him the law. His wife is already throwing up gates. A Senate seat is now open. How about Sen. Maras? Vance's befriending Don Jr. gives the media a field day. When you are in the spotlight, you better be ready for heat. There is NO WAY Trump thought this was a good idea. He did not look happy. If states have sovereignty, do we need a President? Vance speaks no foreign language and knows zip about international relations. Pour a tall cool glass of vinegar, trust your President and pray for our country.
