3.Michael Vlahos as Germanicus explores with Gaius the seventeenth-century practice of dynastic marriage as a superior geopolitical tool compared to modern warfare's impulse toward total destruction. Gaius highlights the unions connecting the Hapsburg, Bourbon, and Stuart empires, observing that the magic of resolving conflict through marriage has been lost entirely. Germanicus explains that these networks of bloodlines created a unified European sensibility and stability that limited war's severity because monarchs were cousins bound by family obligation and shared aristocratic culture. Wars remained limited affairs rather than existential struggles for national survival. Germanicus attributes the loss of this restraint to the French Revolution, which replaced aristocratic connections with religious nationalism and a Darwinianstruggle for survival, culminating in the total wars of the twentieth century that devastated entire civilizations. While true dynastic geopolitics has vanished from international relations, Germanicus observes a strange egalitarian counterpart emerging in the American overclass through the nepo baby phenomenon. He argues that elite families in Hollywood and politics now pass down wealth and status across generations, mimicking aristocratic patterns without the intergenerational stability, diplomatic utility, or civilizational responsibility characteristic of Roman senatorial families or royal Europeanhouses.

Air Date 2/15/2026 Today we explore the gap between free speech rhetoric and the reality of arrested reporters. We'll hear how a decade of cancel culture panic over college students gave way to actual government suppression of journalists, why the DOJ is perverting a law designed to fight the Ku Klux Klan to prosecute Black journalists, how the administration that promised to "bring back free speech" is maintaining lists of forbidden words, and what history teaches about humor as a weapon against authoritarianism.

Dr. Jean Krasno is in the faculty of the Department of Political Science at the City College of New York and is also a lecturer at Columbia University. The “United Nations: Policy and Practice” is her most recent book. Dr. Krasno was authorized by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to organize his papers for publication. She is now leading a campaign to elect a woman UN Secretary-General. The UN was created in 1945 to eliminate the scourge of war, promote economic and social development, and enhance human rights worldwide. The UN has had nine secretaries-general to lead the organization. Emphasis is on selecting a woman when SG Guterres's term ends. The next UN SG must be an effective communicator with the 193-member states in the UN General Assembly and the various publics around the world. Most Americans are mostly unaware of how important UN services impact their lives every day.
In Multidomain Operations: The Pursuit of Battlefield Dominance in the 21st Century (Howgate Publishing Limited, 2026), Amos Fox and Franz-Stefan Gady challenge one of modern war's most influential doctrines: MDO. Is it the right framework for 21st-century conflict—or a concept rushed into service without sufficient grounding? Through the lenses of origin, field application, academic critique, and international perspectives, the authors examine MDO's theoretical and practical shortcomings. They argue that MDO is a solution in search of a problem—strategically narrow, tactically vague, and ill-suited for America's allies. This book calls for a doctrinal reset: one that addresses precision strike overreach, rising attrition warfare, and the enduring need for land forces. With rigorous policy and PME recommendations, Fox and Gady offer a vital roadmap for rethinking military doctrine. Essential reading for defense leaders, scholars, and warfighters alike, this book reshapes how we must think about future battlefields.Dr. Amos C. Fox is a Professor of Practice at Arizona State University's Future Security Initiative. Amos also works as a lecturer in the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Houston where he teaches strategy and international relations, and hosts the Revolution in Military Affairs podcast, which focuses on war, strategy, international affairs, and the impact of technology on warfare. His latest book is Conflict Realism. Amos is a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel. He is also Managing Editor of Small Wars Journal.Franz-Stefan Gady has advised US and European militaries on structural reform and the future of high-intensity warfare. An adjunct senior fellow with the Center for a New American Security, Washington, DC, he has conducted field research in Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine. His latest books are The Return of War and How the US Would Fight China: The Risks of Pursuing a Rapid Victory. Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar with research areas spanning Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, Military History, War Studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, and Russian and East European history.

Subhuti, president of the LBC, in conversation with Sanghadharin about why we need a system of practice.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Deepika Chopra to talk about what real optimism actually means — and why it's so different from toxic positivity. We unpack the science behind resilience, curiosity, and staying open when life is hard, and we get practical about how to grow your “optimism muscle” in everyday moments. We talk about language shifts (like the power of “never” and “always”), parenting through low-capacity seasons, rituals that ground families, and why affirmations and manifestation don't always work the way we think they do.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Play isn't a break from learning — it is learning. In this powerful conversation with Lauren and Mia Sundstrom — daughter and granddaughter of renowned play researcher Dr. Stuart Brown — we explore why play is practice for the future in a world that feels increasingly uncertain. From rough-and-tumble childhood experiences to teenage burnout, adult loneliness, brain health, and even leadership, this episode makes a compelling case that unstructured, self-directed play builds resilience, creativity, emotional regulation, and adaptability — the exact skills our kids (and we) will need in an AI-shaped world. If you've ever wondered whether play is “productive,” this conversation will change how you see your afternoons, your marriage, your parenting, and your own sense of joy.

Episode Description In this conversation, Kino sits down with Dr. Raj Balkaran to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga practice beyond physical postures. Together they discuss mythology, meaning, and the role of story in shaping how we understand and embody yoga. Dr. Balkaran shares the origins of The Stories Behind the Poses and explains how myth functions as a living teaching tool rather than symbolic decoration. Through stories of Ganesha, Kurmasana, Hanumanasana, and the churning of the cosmic ocean, he reveals how yoga practice is fundamentally about removing ignorance, cultivating wisdom, and learning to meet difficulty with clarity rather than force. The discussion moves through themes of inner transformation, the role of the teacher student relationship, the subtle and gross bodies, and why yoga continues to work on us even when we believe we are only practicing for physical reasons. This episode invites listeners to consider yoga as a lifelong inward journey, where practice becomes a way of refining perception, deepening responsibility, and remembering our connection to something much larger than ourselves. Topics Covered Yoga as inner practice rather than performance Mythology as a teaching tool in yoga The story of Ganesha and the true meaning of obstacles Poison, difficulty, and transformation in practice Kurmasana and the still point within chaos Physical and subtle dimensions of yoga Teacher student relationships and authentic transmission Yoga as a lifelong journey rather than a destination About the Guest Dr. Raj Balkaran is a scholar of Sanskrit narrative literature, Hindu mythology, and yogic philosophy. He is the author of The Stories Behind the Poses and teaches internationally through courses, lectures, and retreats, bridging academic scholarship with lived spiritual practice. Practice with Kino on Omstars Continue the conversation on the mat.

Michael was here in Portland for our January Masterclass… so of COURSE I had to take the opportunity to sit down with him in the podcast room.
What if the moments you most want to escape are the exact moments that are rewiring you?Most of us were taught to fix, push through, or numb the hard stuff. When conflict hits a relationship, when a business deal falls apart, when fear grips your chest — we run. We reach for the phone, the distraction, the solution. But what if the single most transformative thing you could do in those moments is the one thing nobody taught you: just be in it?In this raw and deeply personal monthly reflection, Raj sits down with his close friend Nasya Miller in Nosara, Costa Rica to unpack a month that included getting engaged, navigating business pivots, sitting in emotional turbulence with his partner, and discovering a weekly practice that changed the way he digests life. This isn't theory — it's wisdom from the trenches of building a business, deepening love, and learning how to die well so you can actually live.What You'll Discover:Why a neuroscientist says the moment you're most triggered is the exact moment you're most neuroplastic — and how to use that to rewire yourself in real timeThe ancient weekly practice that gave Raj a rhythm of rest and reflection he didn't know he was missing — and how it accelerated his integrationWhat it felt like to close "a thousand timelines" by getting on one knee — and why that single choice rearranged everythingThe difference between knowing something is a gift and actually feeling it as one — and what shifts when that gap finally closesWhy your triggers aren't your partner's fault, and the specific reframe that moves you from blame to liberation in secondsHow to access the intuitive guidance of your future self — the father, the leader, the 86-year-old version of you who's already been through thisThe surprising question a mentor gave Raj that reoriented his entire relationship with uncertainty: "What miracles are about to arrive in my life today?"Why getting better at "dying" — letting old identities, plans, and beliefs dissolve — is the single most important skill for anyone navigating changeIf you're in a season of uncertainty, transition, or emotional intensity and you're wondering how to stay rooted in playfulness, hope, and trust while everything shifts around you — this episode is your permission slip to stop fixing and start feeling.

There is a well-known cognitive phenomenon that we are all susceptible to, and even more so when we're stressed. And we're all at least a little stressed and overwhelmed right now.The illusory truth effect catches us when we repeatedly hear statements and begin to assume they are true through repetition and familiarity. Things feel true, even if they couldn't be further from it. Research has shown that sheer repetition can even override facts when we know better.Naming–systems, feelings, what we're witnessing, what's missing, what's wrong–is a powerful antidote to the illusory truth effect. Naming forces us to slow down. It interrupts the repetition. We can't meaningfully talk about integrity, values, courage, or innovation if we refuse to look directly at what is.My guest today reminds us that we can't disrupt what we can't name. And we can't heal what stays vague.Soraya Chemaly is an award-winning author and activist. As a cultural critic, she writes and speaks frequently about gender norms, social justice, free speech, sexualized violence, politics, and technology. The former Executive Director of The Representation Project and Director and co-founder of the Women's Media Center Speech Project, she has long been committed to expanding women's civic and political participation.Her most recent book, All We Want is Everything: How We Dismantle Male Supremacy, has been called “a potent rallying cry for a beleaguered feminist movement.” In it, she challenges dearly held beliefs about gender and equality today, drawing clear lines between the dynamics of intimate inequality and global anti-feminist, anti-democratic backlash and machofascism.Content warning: Discussion of details of the video footage leading up to Renee Good's murder, less-detailed discussion of sexual and gender-based violence and harassmentListen to the full episode to hear:Why we need to name systems clearly and specifically in order to challenge themHow male supremacy encompasses concepts of sexism, misogyny, and patriarchy and frames them as part of a larger hierarchical systemHow we're witnessing DARVO play out at scale in our government and media, as well as in personal interactionsHow deepfakes use the pervasive threat of sexual violence against women to dehumanize and enforce subjugationHow women play roles in passing on and enforcing male supremacyHow “the boy crisis” reinforces norms of masculinity at the expense of girls and womenWhy big tent politics that asks everyone but cis, straight men to give up fundamental rights cannot be a yardstick of successLearn more about Soraya Chemaly:WebsiteInstagram: @sorayachemalyAll We Want is Everything: How We Dismantle Male SupremacySubscribe to UnmannedLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Dechêne, A., Stahl, C., Hansen, J., & Wänke, M..

More than half of U.S. adults are now using AI to manage stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. Among people who already use AI for mental health, nearly half say it's the first place they turn when something feels wrong. So the real question isn't whether AI is good or bad. It's this: Can AI actually support mental health in a meaningful way? Or does it accidentally reinforce the very patterns people are trying to heal? In this episode, I unpack where AI genuinely helps, and where it quietly breaks down when it comes to changing your old patterns. We cover: • Why AI feels supportive — and why that can be misleading • The difference between insight and integration • How systems are trained to mirror and validate • The risk of comfort without accountability • Why real emotional safety includes friction • How self-trust erodes when authority gets outsourced • Practical ways to configure AI so it challenges you instead of agreeing with you Timestamps 00:00 — Is AI your best friend or your emotional echo chamber? 04:12 — The data: how many people are already using AI for mental health 07:35 — Why AI feels so validating 11:20 — Insight vs. integration: what most people miss 16:45 — Comfort without responsibility 21:10 — Real emotional safety includes friction 25:40 — Where self-trust quietly erodes 29:30 — How to configure ChatGPT to reduce sycophancy 33:10 — Prompts for deeper self-awareness 38:05 — When AI becomes a red flag instead of a tool 41:20 — Growth requires integration Understanding yourself is powerful. But growth happens when your nervous system learns something new. In real relationships, under real conditions. Insight can start the process. Integration is moving from self-awareness to changing your behaviors. This is what changes your life. If this episode resonated and you're realizing insight isn't the same as change, that's exactly what The Practice is built for. It's a community focused on integration. Building nervous system capacity, relational skill, and real-time repair. Not just understanding your patterns, but interrupting them.

If you've ever felt like your dental practice is “doing well” on paper but you feel empty, stressed, or stuck, this episode is for you. You can buy the best marketing plan, the newest technology, the next shiny laser, or even hire the right consultant, and still watch everything crumble if the foundation isn't stable. In this conversation, we break down the real driver of sustainable growth: leadership and mindset. Because scaling isn't magic. Scaling is a process, and your practice can only rise to the level of the leader running it. We talk about why discipline, habits, purpose, and vision create the kind of energy that attracts great team members, improves retention, strengthens culture, and ultimately increases profitability. If you want to scale your dental office, grow your team, increase hygiene production, improve systems, and even double EBITDA, you'll hear the “unsexy” truth most people avoid: the fastest way to scale your business is to become the person people want to follow. You'll Learn: → You'll learn why skill sets and strategy matter, but fail without mindset and self-leadership → How small daily habits (like choosing the “apple over the Hershey bar”) compound into confidence, energy, and better decisions → How to lead your team with vision so people stay even when they could make more elsewhere “Science of scaling” that forces every practice to reinvent itself or slide into maturity and decline To connect with Dr. Buske follow the links below - LinkedIn Instagram Facebook Limitless Dentist Academy Join Dental Syndicate HERE Learn more about your ad choices.

What if I told you that a $3–4M practice, 3 days a week, with 45 weeks a year off, is not only doable—but might be easier than the "lean and mean" model everyone's pushing?There's a growing chorus in orthodontics preaching that the only way to be happy is to stay small, keep overhead low, and see fewer patients. But I'm here to tell you—that's just one lens, and frankly, it might be blinding you to what's truly possible.Quotes“I became an orthodontist, not an ortho assistant. And I delegate most of what I don't [enjoy], because it doesn't bring me happiness to clean a chair.”— Dr. Glenn Krieger“You can run a $3 to $4 million practice on three days a week—easily—with 40–45 weeks a year.

Mental clarity and physical wellbeing can be deeply cultivated, and still something continues to loop beneath the surface. Old patterns resurface, familiar emotions flood the body, and the same inner reactions repeat despite years of conscious work. Energetic health lives in the layer where these loops originate, outside of linear time, stored not as stories but as programs within the body's field. When energetic care is prioritized alongside mental and physical practices, the body is no longer forced to protect through outdated survival responses. Shame, fear, judgment, and inner criticism are revealed not as personal flaws, but as intelligent signals asking for an update. Through energetic awareness and intentional repair, the body becomes an ally rather than a battleground, allowing life force, intuition, and spiritual connection to move freely again. This is the level where true integration happens and where long-standing patterns finally soften, reorganize, and release. I love you.

Many of us are bearing witness daily to suffering all over the planet. We care about others, and we want desperately to be of use—and seeing the horrors in images and videos and stories every day can be deeply dysregulating to our nervous systems. When we get overwhelmed by this vicarious trauma, we tend to shut down. We disconnect from ourselves and each other. We're so spun out in our anxiety, anger, or overwhelm that it can feel impossible to engage in any kind of mindfulness or meditation practice. This week, Shalini Bahl offers tender and practical guidance for how to pause, reconnect, and return to ourselves—and our essential practice—in times of intense internal and external upheaval. Shalini Bahl, PhD, is the award-winning author of Return to Mindfulness and founder of Sama Life, where she offers daily live micro-practices for real-world engagement. A certified MBSR and Search Inside Yourself teacher with pioneering research in mindfulness and consumer well-being recognized by the American Marketing Association, she brings contemplative practice into complex real-world contexts—from Town Council chambers to corporate boardrooms.

Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
In this pharmacology podcast episode, we focus on two key non-statin cholesterol-lowering therapies: ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitors (Click here to listen to the statin podcast episode). These agents play a role in lipid management, particularly for patients who are unable to reach LDL cholesterol goals with statins alone or who have statin intolerance. Ezetimibe works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol at the brush border of the small intestine. By reducing the amount of cholesterol delivered to the liver, ezetimibe lowers circulating LDL cholesterol by approximately 15 to 25 percent. It is taken orally once daily and is commonly used as add-on therapy to statins in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or high baseline LDL levels. Ezetimibe is generally well tolerated, with a favorable safety profile and minimal systemic exposure, making it an attractive option in older adults and patients with multiple comorbidities. PCSK9 inhibitors, including alirocumab and evolocumab, offer a much more potent LDL-lowering effect. These monoclonal antibodies work by blocking PCSK9, a protein that promotes degradation of LDL receptors in the liver. By preserving LDL receptors, PCSK9 inhibitors enhance clearance of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream, often reducing LDL levels by 50 to 60 percent. They are administered via subcutaneous injection every two to four weeks and are most commonly used in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, established cardiovascular disease, or persistently elevated LDL despite maximally tolerated statin and ezetimibe therapy.

https://teachhoops.com/ Varying basketball practices is the primary defense against the "January Lull"—that mid-season stretch where physical fatigue and mental monotony can lead to a plateau in performance. To keep the energy high, you must intentionally disrupt the "rhythm of the routine." This doesn't mean changing your core values or terminology, but rather changing the delivery method of your drills. If you typically start with a 15-minute fundamental block, try starting with a "High-Intensity Scrimmage" or a competitive "Special Situation" instead. By shifting the sequence of your practice plan, you force the athletes' brains to re-engage and stay "on their toes," ensuring that the gym remains a place of growth rather than a place of habit. A powerful way to vary your sessions is through the use of "Themed Practices" and "Constraint-Based" learning. Instead of a generic practice, dedicate an entire Tuesday to "Defensive Dominance" or a Thursday to "Transition Chaos." During these sessions, apply specific constraints to your 5-on-5 play—such as "no dribbling" or "every possession must touch the post." These variations force players to solve problems in new ways, building a more robust "Basketball IQ." Additionally, use "Competitive Drills" where the score carries over from one segment to the next. When there is a "Winner of the Day" on the line, the natural competitive fire of the athletes will prevent the stagnation that comes from repetitive, non-competitive reps. Finally, variety should be driven by data and player feedback. Use the mid-season to perform a "Practice Audit"—look at your film and see which drills are producing the most "Game-Like" repetitions and which are resulting in players standing in lines. If you notice the energy dipping, be willing to "call an audible" and throw in a "Fun Finisher" or a shooting competition to lift the mood. By utilizing member calls or mentorship to explore new drill libraries, you ensure that you always have a "fresh deck of cards" to play. Remember, a varied practice is a productive practice; when players are excited to see "what's next" on the plan, they are more likely to give the 100% effort required to build a championship culture.

Lasting love isn't something you find; it is a skill you must practice. In this episode, Jeff Krasno speaks with two leading relationship experts, Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez) and Jillian Turecki, to explore how to build healthy relationships through emotional responsibility, conscious communication, and self-awareness. While society focuses on the romance of falling in love, very little guidance exists on what it takes to sustain connection over time. This episode dismantles the myth of the “perfect partner” and provides actionable tools to navigate the inevitable challenges of long-term commitment, from boredom to conflict. This episode covers: The three anchors for loving better: Kindness, Compassion, and Growth Emotional Responsibility: How to communicate feelings without blaming your partner The “Comfort Trap”: Balancing stability with novelty to keep the spark alive Healing the Past: Why your relationship with yourself dictates your romantic success Conflict Resolution: Moving from “fighting to win” to listening to understand Love as a Verb: Practical rituals to show up for your partner even when you don't feel like it This podcast is for couples feeling stuck in a rut, singles looking to break old patterns, and anyone ready to approach love with greater mindfulness and maturity.

After 25 years in corporate America, Jen Polt took the biggest risk of her life - quitting her executive job to become a full-time content creator and confidence coach. Three weeks later, her husband told her he didn't want to be married to her anymore. Instead of retreating, she used this devastating moment to build something even bigger and discovered that confidence isn't a personality trait - it's a practice.In this powerful conversation, Jen shares the raw truth about reinvention in midlife, why vulnerability became her superpower, and how going viral at 50 taught her that age is just a number when it comes to chasing your dreams.

In this episode, Ian sits down with John Assaraf, entrepreneur, behavioral neuroscience educator, and founder of NeuroGym, for a conversation about the invisible forces that shape performance — long after planning, analysis, and good intentions are in place. John shares his personal journey from a turbulent upbringing to building multiple multimillion-dollar businesses, and the pivotal moment at age 19 that reframed how he thought about success, identity, and commitment. From there, the discussion moves into the neuroscience behind habits, automatic behavior, fear, and why people often snap back to familiar results — even when they know what to do. This is not a trading tactics episode. It's a conversation about execution, follow-through, and the human side of performance — in trading, business, health, and life. About the guest: John Assaraf is a serial entrepreneur who has built multiple multimillion-dollar companies, including helping scale a real estate organization to over $4 billion in annual sales and co-founding a technology company that later went public on the NASDAQ. He is the founder and CEO of NeuroGym, where he focuses on applying neuroscience to performance, habits, and behavior change. John is also the author of several New York Times bestselling books, translated into dozens of languages, and has been featured in films such as The Secret, where many people were first introduced to his work.
