In recent months of the war, Ukraine has managed to hold its front lines and bring war to regular Russians via attacks on infrastructure. That's why Economic Advisor to the President of Ukraine Chrystia Freeland believes Ukraine has flipped the narrative from being the virtuous victim of Russia's aggression to the necessary ally and shield of Europe. This week, she joins Sir Ben Wallace and co-host Kate McCann to make the case for why Ukraine is winning, and why winning on the economic battlefield is equally important to the country's future. Freeland talks about how Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is laying the political groundwork for Ukraine's economic success, the importance of Ukraine's alliances, and why Poland's success story should serve as a model for Ukraine's post-war future. They also discuss Ukraine's strong defense industrial base, the importance of rooting out corruption and the remnants of Soviet ideology for bringing in investment to the country, the challenges of attracting people back to Ukraine, and why victory for Ukraine is a victory for liberal democracy.

What does it take to build a $5 billion employee-owned company? For Border States President and CEO Jason Seger, the answer starts with one simple principle: care for people first.In this episode of Driven by DCKAP, Karthik sits down with Jason in Fargo, North Dakota to unpack the servant leadership philosophy behind one of the most unique companies in electrical distribution. From his early days as an intern in 1999 to leading 3,700 employee owners today, Jason shares the defining moments, the relationships, and the culture that have shaped Border States into what it is — and what's driving their ambition to grow from $5 billion to $10 billion.Jason gets candid about the moment early in his career that reframed everything — a late evening conversation with a mentor that made him realize a job could mean something far bigger than the work itself. He breaks down the servant leadership model that drives Border States' 95th percentile employee engagement, why vendor relationships deserve the same investment as customer ones, and how ambitious goal-setting shifts the thinking of an entire organization almost overnight. He also speaks honestly about work-life integration, bringing his family into the fabric of what he does, and why focusing on people first — whether employee owners, customers, or partners — is what ultimately drives the numbers.
https://teachhoops.com/ If you build a coaching staff based entirely on comfort, friendship, or a collection of yes-men who look at the floor the exact same way you do, you are introducing a massive structural leak into your organization. Most head coaches hire assistants to act as glorified drill-monitors—quiet observers who stand along the sideline, wave a hand during transition breaks, and hold a clipboard while the head coach exhausts their vocal cords micro-managing fifty different details. In a level 4 championship program, your staff is an integrated, high-signal engine. You do not need assistant coaches who mimic your personality; you need a diverse group of distinct alchemical lenses designed to divide and conquer every square inch of the gym ecosystem. This episode steps directly into the "Truth Room" to pull back the curtain on staff architecture. We break down the three non-negotiable coaching archetypes—The Organizer, The Yoda, and The Antagonist—and detail exactly how to delegate absolute autonomy to your staff so your program transitions from a coach-fed dictatorship into a self-policing powerhouse. An elite coaching staff must operate like a singular, high-functioning Voltron. Instead of every coach watching the ball, each assistant is assigned a specific, uncompromised structural lens to police the gym's Activity Density and cultural standard. The DNA: Methodical, unyielding, hyper-disciplined, and hyper-organized. The Practice Lens: This coach is the absolute master of the practice clock. They do not watch the mechanics of a drill; they watch the timeline. They enforce sprinted water breaks, police smooth drill transitions, and ensure that your 120-minute practice script never stalls out for a long coaching lecture. They are the engine behind your high Rep Density and Activity Density. The DNA: Stoic, observant, deeply tactical, and data-driven. The Practice Lens: While the rest of the gym is moving at a hundred miles an hour, The Yoda sits quietly in the macro-view. They are tracking spatial cutting geometry, screening angles, and entry schemas. The Analytical Return: During a game or scrimmage, they aren't riding the emotional wave of a tough whistle. They are tracking the math behind your Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$), spotting structural gaps in the opponent's defensive shell, and formulating the zero-second counter to tip the tactical scale. The DNA: Intense, vocal, uncompromising, and deeply gritty. The Practice Lens: This coach is your ultimate line enforcer. They do not allow a single loose standard to seep into the gym. If a perimeter defender soft-recovers on a closeout, fails to play with High Hands, or displays poor body language after a turnover, The Antagonist blows the whistle and stops the clock instantly. They take the burden of daily confrontation off the head coach's plate, protecting your program's unyielding Standard of Tolerance through the exhaust. Coach's Note: "If you are the only person screaming, correcting, and driving the energy in your gym every afternoon, you haven't built a staff—you've just hired a group of spectators with front-row seats. Elite program building demands that you check your ego at the door. Trust your people. Give your Organizer the clock, give your Yoda the clipboard, give your Antagonist the license to protect the culture line, and step back so you can actually lead. Build a shield, not a one-man show."

Of course our guests have continued to make meaningful contributions to the world since we had our initial conversations, so be sure to subscribe to our Substack to catch up on some of their recent news!Ep. 165: Brooklyn-based podcaster Avery Trufelman has radio in her DNA. Her parents met while working at WNYC, so from birth she was nurtured with love and appreciation for radio. As a teenager, Avery took to expressing herself through wild, quirky thrifted fashion ensembles, much to the confusion of her peers. After cutting her audio teeth in college radio, Avery submitted a midnight application to intern at 99% Invisible and moved across the country to work in a closet with Roman Mars in beautiful downtown Oakland. When 99pi and the field of podcasting blew up, Avery was on the rocket ship. She's since created an acclaimed 2-season series, Articles of Interest, around iconic items of clothing – which makes her teenage sartorial obsessions all add up – and worked on Nice Try! and The Cut. She's a dynamic and thoughtful voice in the podcasting landscape, as always, making distinctive and bold style choices.Images and more from Avery Trufelman on our website!Clever is hosted & produced by Amy Devers, with editing by Mark Zurawinski, production assistance from Ilana Nevins and Anouchka Stephan, and music by El Ten Eleven.SUBSCRIBE - listen to Clever on any podcast app!SIGN UP - for our Substack for news, bonus content, new episode alertsVISIT - cleverpodcast.com for transcripts, images, and 200+ more episodesSAY HI! - on Instagram & LinkedIn @cleverpodcast @amydevers Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Can We Talk? R&B podcast, host Ian Von sits down with rising R&B/pop girl group 3Quency to talk about the modern resurgence of groups, building real sisterhood in the music industry, and carving out their own lane after their breakout on Netflix's Building the Band. They share how they formed “Love Is Blind–style” in pods without seeing each other, the pressure and beauty of carrying the legacy of 90s and 2000s girl groups, and how they navigate vocal health, touring, social media narratives, and independence as young artists. From stories of performing with lost voices and sprained ankles, to late-night “girls talk” that turned into a whole project, this conversation is a deep dive into authenticity, unity, and what it really takes to be a group in 2026. The ladies also perform a live a cappella snippet (Brandy's “Have You Ever”), talk through their creative process as songwriters, and reveal the powerful meaning behind their name, 3Quency.
Daniel Rood, author of In the Shadow of the Great House, traces how the plantation system evolved globally, with Cubabecoming a sugar powerhouse using industrial steam technology after the Haitian Revolution. In modern Brazil, multinational corporations like BP and Cargill run "mammoth sugar farms" using unfree contract labor for ethanol production. Similarly, California's agricultural boom relied on the Bracero program and guest workers who lacked political rights. This modern planter class continues to prioritize investor profits over the stability and rights of their laborers. (15)1867

What does it really mean to love God and love people? In this episode, Pastor Cole shares a powerful message from PowerHouse, challenging students to put Jesus first, love others well, and live out the greatest commandments every day.
In this special Conversations episode of The Publisher Podcast, sponsored by Pugpig, we hear from CEO and founder Jonny Kaldor about the data that proves apps are engagement and retention powerhouses. Pugpig has just released their annual 2026 Media App Report, packed with benchmarks and insights from 140 media brands and 440+ live apps. Jonny looks at some of the publisher app trends from the report, why direct consumer relationships are the highest priority right now, and the deeper levels of engagement shown by app users compared to web visitors. He also explains why apps are now surprisingly being used for subscriber acquisition, not just retention, and how publishers can identify gaps in their conversion strategies using apps.

We'd love to hear from you. Send us fan mail!In this 5-part series premiere of From Stuck to Leading, a five-part self-coaching experience on Shedding the Corporate B!tch, executive coach Bernadette Boas opens with the question at the foundation of every coaching engagement she runs: Who are you as a leader when no one is watching? Not your title, not your results, not your LinkedIn profile, but the leader who shows up when the pressure is on, the recognition is absent, and the next five minutes are going to reveal everything about who you actually are.Drawing on 18 years of coaching over 400 executives, Bernadette walks Powerhouses through two diagnostic spotlight questions from her Leadership Gap Diagnostic — a free 25-statement assessment that places leaders in one of four performance tiers. The gap between how you intend to lead and how your leadership actually lands, and the gap between knowing you need to develop and actively closing that gap, are the two fault lines most leaders have never honestly examined.This is the coaching experience designed to change that — without the price tag of private coaching. Download the free Leadership Gap Diagnostic and start the series with your full baseline in hand. What You Will Learn Throughout The Series:• How to close the gap between the leader you perform and the leader you actually are• Why self-awareness in leadership is about accuracy, not self-indulgence — and how most executives are overestimating theirs• The difference between intending to close your leadership gaps and actively doing it• How one executive went from being passed over for VP to landing the role, at a different company, on her own terms, in 18 months• How to use the free Leadership Gap Diagnostic to establish your baseline for all five episodes in this series Key Quote: "The leaders who sustain their impact, the ones who lead well under pressure, who earn genuine trust, who grow over decades instead of burning out, they are not the smartest or most talented. They are the ones who know who they are, clearly, honestly, and without the title doing the work for them." — Bernadette Boas Episode Chapters: 00:00:00 — Series Hook: Who Are You When No One Is Watching?00:01:00 — Welcome + Series Introduction: From Stuck to Leading00:02:00 — Bernadette's Story: From Fired to Foundation00:03:00 — How to Use the Leadership Gap Diagnostic00:05:00 — Branded Intro / How the Episode Works00:06:00 — Spotlight Question 1: Do You Know How Your Leadership Actually Lands?00:08:00 — Spotlight Question 2: Are You Actively Closing the Gap?00:10:00 — The Four Leadership Tiers + Diagnostic Reminder00:11:00 — The Identity Question: Returning to Who Are You When No One Is Watching?00:13:00 — What Shaky Leadership Identity Looks Like00:14:00 — Bernadette's Firing Story: The Identity Problem00:16:00 — Client Story: Dana's Path to VP00:18:00 — The I Dare You Challenge00:19:00 — Wrap Up: What to Take Away Today00:20:00 — Series Commitment + Subscribe CTA00:21:00 — Preview of Episode 2: What Are You Avoiding?

South Carolina has officially experienced a massive political earthquake!
Most shop owners who hit 50 employees, steady profit, and a fourth generation coming up behind them would be tempted to coast. Andrew Borg decided to double down instead. Not because he has to, he's quick to say the shop is profitable right where it is, but because he wants to build something that outlasts him. A big part of that answer is automation. Borg Design runs a fleet of cobots that load parts and pallets around the clock, and Andrew's goal is to double sales while only growing headcount by about half. We get into how they keep machines running 80 to 95 percent of the time over a seven day week, why the hard part isn't building the system but figuring out what it does when a tool breaks at midnight, and how six full-time mechanical engineers fit inside a machine shop. We also dig into CMMC. Borg Design earned its Level 2 certification this year, and Andrew is refreshingly honest about the cost, the false starts with vendors, and the one employee who basically read the entire standard and wrote their package. He shares why the inbound calls from primes only started showing up after they were certified, and the sub-tier problem that still keeps him up at night. Then there's the people question—which might be the most useful part of the whole conversation. Andrew has stopped trying to hire high-end machinists, because in his words they don't exist on the open market. Instead he hires for work ethic and values and builds machinists over years. If you're wrestling with the same thing, you'll want to hear how he thinks about the path from operator to programmer. This is the kind of conversation that's the whole reason I do this show. A smart, transparent owner sharing exactly how he built something real, and where he's still figuring it out. Grab a notepad. You'll fill a page.

Disclaimer: This episode discusses mental health challenges and suicide. If you are in crisis or having suicidal thoughts, help is available 24/7, call or text 988 in the U.S. and Canada. You can also visit https://988lifeline.org. How much does your self talk impact the public-facing words you say and write? You might have heard that the average adult speaks and writes around 15,000 words each day. What gets less publicity, however, is the number of words we say to ourselves, consciously or subconsciously: around 60,000. This begs the question: why does four times the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs get so overlooked in our exploration of communication? Communicate for Good has always centered around the power of words to build confidence, expand influence, and amplify impact—the intersection of language, leadership, and life, and it's certainly touched on self talk in the past. Now, following a three-year-hiatus, Erica is re-centering the conversation on the inner dialogue we so often overlook, despite how much it affects outer identity and interactions. She shares the traumatic experiences she has navigated since the show went on hiatus and shares how her own, ongoing education around self talk and inner narratives can help other leaders. Together, you'll learn how elevating your self talk practices can help you navigate burnout, team-building, life-rebuilding, and leading publicly when your private life is in crisis, one word at a time. Start rewriting your internal script to support your external experience: How the use of language echoes out to all levels of communication; The significance of words while grieving and recovering from trauma; Why it's inaccurate to assume our silent words to ourselves are less important; The teeny, tiny self-talk steps that have outsized impact on our wellness–and leadership–journeys.

What does the future of the American workforce look like when you bypass the traditional four-year college track entirely? In this episode of An Educated Guest, we sit down with Kermit Cook, the CEO of Penn Foster, to explore how a distance-learning model founded in 1890 to train coal miners has evolved into a hyper-modern platform educating hundreds of thousands of middle-skill workers. Kermit shares his unique personal trajectory from management consulting and Teach for America to the helm of a massive EdTech ecosystem, explaining the passion for equitable career pathways that drives his work.We dive deep into the booming market of online high schools. Kermit breaks down why an online diploma provides far more robust workforce pathways than a traditional GED, and how a student profile that is largely 37-year-old working women is leveraging asynchronous learning to achieve economic mobility. He pulls back the curtain on the real-world economics of their model, contrasting Penn Foster's $1,600 total tuition against the skyrocketing per-pupil costs of traditional public education.Finally, we tackle the highly anticipated role of artificial intelligence in education. Kermit moves past the San Francisco tech hype to discuss practical, continuous-improvement pedagogy. He reveals how Penn Foster is using AI to analyze exactly where students get stuck in difficult courses, boosting completion rates from 20% to 70%, and how automated outreach allows their human coaches to step in exactly when a struggling adult learner needs a lifeline.
