Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites' escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. From Romans chapters 6 and 7, Rabbi Berkson expounds on the internal struggle between the law of the flesh and the law of the mind, emphasizing the importance of winning the battle of the mind for true freedom. Using analogies and biblical references, he illustrates this struggle and highlights the need for us to actively choose to follow the law of righteousness rather than the law of sin.From Slavery to Freedom (Freeing Your Mind) | Part 3• Intro/Review• Continuing Step 3 - I shall redeem you• Romans 6:16 – You are servants to whom you obey• Romans 6:1-6 – Shall we continue to sin?• Romans 6:7-10 – Previous wrongs were pardoned • Romans 6:11 – Dead to sin, but alive to Elohim• Romans 6:13-15 – You are not under the law, but under favor• Romans 6:16 – Two sets of laws? • Romans 6:17-19 – Because of the ignorance • Romans 6:20-23 – Free from righteousness? • Romans 7:14-25 – Discovering the two sets of laws• Romans 7:15-16 – I don't know what I'm doing • You sicko! • Romans 7:20-23 – Kill that zombie • Romans 7:24-25 – Messiah Yeshua revealed the reality• What's your excuse? • You will serve somebody • Will you be judged approved or not?• Two different voices• You can win that fightListen to the Afterburn tomorrowSubscribe to be notified of new content each week.Learn more about MTOI:https://mtoi.orgThe MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-appFollow MTOI:https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI:
This episode is part 8 in our series with Joe McMoneagle. Joe McMoneagle was a US Army intelligence veteran already before he was chosen to be a part of the psychic intelligence unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, in 1978. He became known as "Remote Viewer No. 1″ within Project Stargate. Project Stargate was the United States' first organized research into psychic phenomena via the Defense Intelligence Agency and contractor SRI International. He is an author and also founder of Intuitive Intelligence Applications Inc. Today, he also teaches Remote Viewing at The Monroe Institute, a leading center in exploring human consciousness. Joe never disappoints. He starts us off with the Bahamas and his 1st tour in the 60s at age 19 in intelligence … caught in a category 5 storm and left for dead, a man-eating grouper, a strange UAP experience with splitting time, a cone of light, radiation burns and a navy medic throwing out his report.

Episode #15: We Refuse to Let Our Previous Wars Win: Sarah Moore on Shedding the Uniform's Identity, Healing the Nervous System, and Becoming Whole Again What happens when the body decides it's done, even when your mind is still convinced it can push through? For Sarah Moore, a 21-year Army veteran and Black Hawk pilot, the answer came in the middle of a routine dunker training exercise when her nervous system snapped in front of her peers. No amount of mental toughness could stop the shaking. It was the beginning of a journey she never expected, and one that would ultimately change everything about how she understood herself, her service, and her healing. In this episode, Sarah and Jon unpack what it really means to carry the weight of a military career, the deployments, the abusive relationships, the no-boundaries culture of high performance, and what it takes to finally set that weight down. Sarah brings a rare combination of lived experience and neuroscience training to the conversation, breaking down why trauma isn't a mindset problem, why the nervous system breaks the same way a bone does under too much stress, and why healing isn't a destination. It's a lifestyle change. Sarah is also the founder of Blueside Adventures, a program built for veterans and first responders that combines community, adventure, and structured inner work to help people find out who they are outside of the uniform. In this episode, you'll hear: How 9/11 sent Sarah from Rutgers University to Army enlistment and eventually to the cockpit of a Black Hawk The dunker training panic attack that cracked everything open Why mental toughness has a breaking point and what the neuroscience actually tells us The real cost of losing identity, community, and boundaries after service Why healing requires a full lifestyle change, not a single program or pill How Sarah built Blueside Adventures and why veterans are refusing to let their previous wars win Connect with Sarah Moore & Blueside Adventures:
Lorin sat down with Precious Way, star of NBC's hit comedy "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins." Way discusses how her character subverts "trophy wife" stereotypes and how the eclectic cast share more in common. Season one is available to stream on Peacock and has been renewed for a second season.
Rob and Cordell discuss Charles Barkley backpedal his previous comments about the Spurs struggles.
Michael McFaul describes Vladimir Putin as an ideological risk-taker who views himself as a defender of "orthodox Christian values" against a threatening West. McFaul argues that previous US administrations failed to hedge against Russian aggression by not expanding NATO faster or providing sufficient weaponry to "gray zone" countries like Ukraine. This perceived lack of resolve may have emboldened Putin's 2022 full-scale invasion. Furthermore, the segment explores how autocracy is gaining global popularity, as some perceive it to be more efficient than the bureaucratic "veto points" often found in democratic systems. (5)1938
Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong
No other American colony projected such extensive power with so few people. We recount how the French explored the vast northern region they called “Canada” for decades in pursuit of furs and the Northwest Passage, but repeatedly failed to plant a lasting colony in the harsh and forbidding land—until they found in Samuel de Champlain a leader with the shrewdness and grit to overcome the severe cold, the vast distances, and the treacherous politics of the Saint Lawrence basin. We trace the growth of Quebec from little more than a warehouse in the frozen wildnerness to a thriving town, controlling the most critical gateway into the continent and serving as the hub of a lucrative trading network, a vast constellation of mission towns and outposts (including the Christianizing experiment known as Montreal), and most importantly, a formidable indigenous alliance system that dominated the continenet from the Atlantic to Lake Superior. Finally, we consider the disasters of the mid-1600s, including deadly epidemics and warfare with the Five Nations, that brought Canada's most important allies to their knees and threatened to wipe the colony off the map.

When We Waffle – Episode 1 Before podcasts became podcasts, before algorithms took over, and before any of us had the sense to stop recording ourselves talking nonsense, there was When We Waffle.Originally recorded over a decade ago, this was a weekly show hosted by comedian Terry Mynott, Laurie Peters and Katrina Fox. Part comedy, part conversation, part complete derailment, it somehow ran for 48 episodes and built a loyal following along the way.We've dug the original recordings out of the archive and are releasing them once again for anyone who missed them first time around – or for those curious enough to revisit them.A few references may be gloriously out of date. Some opinions may have aged better than others. But the laughs, silliness and general waffle remain exactly as they were.Who knows? If enough people enjoy hearing them again, perhaps we'll even dust off the microphones and make some new ones.For now, here's where it all began...

In this episode I am once again joined by Lorin Roche PhD, meditation teacher and author of “The Radiance Sutras”. I first met Lorin at the Summit at Sea conference in 2015 where we were both teaching. We attended each others' workshops and immediately hit it off. In those days, we both taught on the California conference circuit and were often booked to teach at the same gatherings. Over the years we spent many weeks enjoying extended conversations, raucous dinners, and long evenings of music and poetry. In short, we became true friends. It was a desire to share the rich conversations I was having with friends like Lorin that contributed to my decision to start the Guru Viking Podcast. And so, naturally, I asked Lorin to be my first interview subject. He went on to become one of my most popular, recurring guests. On the 18th of April 2026, Lorin died. What follows is our last interview and conversation, recorded a few months before his passing. The episode covers many of Lorin's most characteristic teaching themes and I have also included some of the conversation we had before and after the main episode content. There are many poignant and amusing stories from the years of my friendship with Lorin and there is a lot worth saying about his approach to meditation. One day, I might record an episode dedicated to those themes. For now I will say that it is obvious to all that Lorin was a vivacious man - the essence of his approach to teaching meditation was an encouragement to wholeheartedly embrace life. But I can also report that behind the scenes and off the stage Lorin was a generous man, irreverent, funny, and very kind. … https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep365-the-last-interview-lorin-roche-phd Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:5 - Boats, geese, and hummingbirds 07:05 - Meditating with the flow of nature 08:14 - Being human is like being president of Earth 11:35 - The miracle of attention 13:51 - Teaching was easier in the 70s 15:15 - Agencylessness is a dumb idea 16:38 - Human reaction time 17:52 - Attending to the inner life 18:44 - Evil meditation teaching 19:58 - Misunderstandings about Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras 22:55 - Taming the body 26:33 - The genius of yoga 28:01 - Pros and cons of stopping the mind 28:57 - Where meditation went wrong 35:47 - Tuning the instrument 38:56 - Limitations of the “tuning” metaphor 43:24 - Monastic ideas sabotage lay people 45:41 - Religion vs meditation 50:56 - Is Loren's approach self-indulgent? 56:18 - Peak experiences and enlightenment 59:20 - Loren's drug experiences 01:02:20 - LA Yoga community's enthusiasm for drugs 01:04:50 - Loren asks about Steve's meditation … Previous episodes with Lorin here: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=lorin To find out more about Lorin visit: - www.lorinroche.com - www.radiancesutras.com - www.meditationtt.com For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com/ Music 'Deva Dasi' by Steve James

The Nucleus LINK is used by more World Brewers Cup and World Barista Championship competitors than any other roasting machine. In this 65-minute webinar, Jerome Rosler and Sam Corra from Nucleus Coffee Tools walk through the exact roast profiles, competition case studies, and setup decisions that have taken athletes to the top of the podium — and answer your questions live.What you'll learn in this episode:— How the Brewers Cup score sheet works: aroma, flavor, aftertaste, acidity, sweetness, and mouthfeel — and which profile attributes move each score— Four real competition case studies with actual roast curves: Eileen, June, Justin, and Een (including a rare Eugenioides roasted at Singapore National Brewers Cup)— How to match the right Nucleus LINK profile to the cup attribute you want to maximize— The full story behind the Addis profile pack: from the 2021 World Championship foundations to Addis 4.1.2, the current release— How Jerome Rosler built the WBRC 2024 profile that helped Martin Wölfl win the World Brewers Cup— What Omni profiles are and how DTR lets you adapt a single coffee to any brew method— How to pack, seal, and travel with roasted competition coffee without killing your degassing curveWhat the experts say — key facts from this episode:Which Nucleus LINK profile works best for highly aromatic and fermented coffees?Filter E. Short total roast time (6:40–7 min), fast drying phase, development at 8.5–9% DTR over 30–40 seconds. Designed to highlight fruit-forward aromatics without amplifying heavy fermentation notes.How was Martin Wölfl's 2024 World Brewers Cup profile built?Based on filter C from the Addis 3.0 pack. Jerome Rosler shifted first crack 5 seconds earlier, raised the temperature increase rate from 6°/min to 7°/min, and shortened development to push solubility — the key variable for Wölfl's winning cup.What is the Nucleus LINK Addis profile pack?Addis is the current Nucleus LINK profile system. Named after the 2021 World Barista Championship host city, it has evolved across four versions: Addis 2.0 introduced filter profiles built around Nicole Battefeld-Montgomery's 2022 Worlds approach; Addis 3.0 refined filter C for Martin Wölfl's 2024 WBRC win; Addis 4.1.2 — the current version — adds espresso and Omni profiles for full brew-method coverage. Previous versions were also shaped by input from Sasa Sestic and Agnieszka Rojewska.How do Omni profiles work on the Nucleus LINK?Omni profiles use DTR (development time ratio) as the single adjustable variable, allowing the same coffee to be adapted across brew methods — from espresso to filter to cupping. Built to make washed and unconventional varieties competitive without needing separate profiles for each method.Where can you buy the Nucleus LINK in Europe and get profile support?Roast Rebels is Europe's authorized Nucleus Coffee Tools distributor and most experienced service center, with locations in Germany and Switzerland.

What does it mean to be “sent”? How was the Holy Spirit the one who sent Saul and Barnabas? In this episode, Emma Dotter unpacks what it means to be sent by the Holy Spirit and how we see this in the example of Saul and Barnabas as they embark on their first missionary journey in Acts 13:1-12. Then, Emma draws a connection between the passage and how we see the Holy Spirit send missionaries today, sharing about a missionary family from Watermark. // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: S4:268 Acts 12-14 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-268-acts-12-14/id1600151923?i=1000735847137) // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?

This episode comes directly from a listener question, one I hear in some form regularly. What do you do when your doctor has told you that losing weight is medically necessary, but everything you've tried has kept you stuck in the same cycle? With her permission, I share a message from a listener who has been in the binge and restrict cycle for over 45 years and is navigating real health consequences. We discuss why restriction, even for medical reasons, keeps the cycle spinning, and what it actually looks like to work toward health when the scale has been the only measure you've ever known.What You'll Discover:Why restriction backfires even when the medical reason for it is real and seriousHow to hold both truths at once: your doctor's concern is valid, and another diet is not the answerWhat to focus on instead of body size and why these behaviors directly support the health markers that matterWhy what you focus on expands, and how shifting from "what to lose" to "what to add" changes everythingIf you've ever felt caught between a medical recommendation and the knowledge that dieting makes things worse for you, this episode is for you.Previous episode referenced: Supportive StructureIf you would like to explore getting support with your eating challenges, schedule a Breakthrough Call today.Want to know why you struggle with food and what to do next?

Previous climate change policies focused primarily on mitigation, reducing emissions to achieve net zero by 2050 and avoid the worst outcomes. But as emissions continue to rise, extreme weather events intensify and physical risks materialize, a second, less comfortable reality is setting in: we must also adapt and build resilience, because we must now brace for impact. In this episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua explores the consequences of what this shift will mean in practice for economies, public policy, infrastructure, and capital allocation. He examines the growing economic need for climate adaptation and resilience, the widening gap between adaptation needs and available funding, and the uncomfortable question of how far adaptation can really go in a world of rising physical risk. This episode's guest is Carine de Boissezon, Chief Impact Officer at EDF (Électricité de France). She shares how one of France's leading energy providers is adapting in a warming world. From water management and ecosystem preservation to stress-testing assets against extreme scenarios, she argues that resilience is both systemic and collective, no company or country can adapt in isolation. Listen to this episode of 2050 Investors to understand what it will take to adapt in a more volatile world.CreditsPresenter & Writer: Kokou Agbo-Bloua.

Is magic real? Do magicians actually exist? In this episode, Emma Dotter talks about the magician who opposed Saul in Acts 13:1-12, addresses the reality of dark magic, and unpacks three things we learn about spiritual powers from the passage. While there are dark forces at work in the world aiming to lead people away from the truth, God's power is far greater, and he will always overcome. // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: S4:268 Acts 12-14 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-268-acts-12-14/id1600151923?i=1000735847137) // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Zach, a DeepClean graduate, to discuss his journey from a lifelong struggle with pornography to lasting recovery and deeper personal growth. Zach shares how accidental exposure in childhood led to years of secrecy, shame, and repeated relapses despite pursuing counseling, accountability, and 12-step recovery. He reflects on the difficult process of rebuilding trust in his marriage, confronting the fear of being fully known, and recognizing that true recovery involves transformation of the heart, not just behavior change. Together, they explore key shifts that accelerated Zach's progress, including understanding the beliefs beneath addictive behaviors, addressing unmet emotional needs, and developing greater emotional awareness. The conversation highlights practical tools such as journaling, breathwork, and honest connection with God, as well as the role these practices have played in strengthening Zach's relationships, faith, and confidence as he prepares to become a father. Zach also shares how learning to identify lies, embrace vulnerability, and take consistent action helped him achieve nearly 10 months of freedom and build a healthier, more intentional life.

In this episode I am once again joined by Tara Springett, a Buddhist psychotherapist who specialises in treating what she calls “Kundalini Syndrome”. Tara discusses her book "Stairway to Heaven" in which she lays out a 9 stage model of consciousness from innocence to enlightenment. Tara compares psychological ego strengthening to Buddhist ego deconstruction, reflects on her own childhood development and family of origin, and considers the place of kundalini phenomena in her 9-stage model. Tara also reflects on the Tibetan saint Milarepa as a model for spiritual development, gives her assessment of Western Civilisation, and explains why she believes so many people choose the wrong practice for their stage of development. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep364-9-stages-of-consciousness-tara-springett Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 00:53 - Award for “Stairway to Heaven” 02:42 - Psychological ego strengthening vs Buddhist ego deconstruction 07:15 - Tara's 9-stage model of consciousness 08:28 - Innocence stage 09:38 - Dominance stage 11:45 - Obedience stage 14:43- Ambition stage 17:36 - Sharing stage 21:21 - Responsibility stage 27:31 - Love stage 29:16 - Bliss stage 30:54 - Enlightenment stage 33:43 - Kundalini awakening vs spiritual awakening 38:14 - Difficulties when having an awakening at a lower stage 41:09 - Tara's family's stage 41:56 - Tara's assessment of Western Civilisation 47:46 - Stage model applied to historical periods 49:53 - Political positions and the stage model 51:44 - Milarepa as an exemplar of stage development 53:41 - The power of stories, fairy tales, and myths 56:25 - Choosing practice according to stage 01:01:19 - Teachings appropriate to all levels 01:02:33 - Reflections on the last 10 years 01:07:12 - Tara's optimism about the future … Previous episodes with Tara Springett: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=springett To find out more about Tara Springett, visit: - https://www.taraspringett.com/ … For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - www.guruviking.com

Chris chats with Liz Zenger, program manager of The Inklings Project, which provides resources for professors, teachers, and other groups developing Inklings-related courses. Also, by way of update, this just in from Liz herself: This is currently live for 6-12 teachers! Goes along with your second to last question of the podcast :-) Call for Proposals Inklings Project Fellowship for 6-12 Teachers Applications can be submitted via this link until Aug 1, 2026. For the first time in its history, the Inklings Project, under the University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life, is opening its fellowship to middle school and high school educators. Previous cohorts have drawn from college and university faculty; this new two-year cohort, beginning in Fall 2026, will be made up of those who educate in grades 6–12. Middle and high school is when many readers first encounter C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien—and where an educator's love for these authors can ripple outward to students, parents, and an entire school community. View the Call for Proposals or visit www.inklingsproject.org/apply for more information on the fellowship and application requirements. Applications can be submitted via this link until August 1, 2026. Among other things, we discuss: What The Inklings Project is (~0:53) — Liz explains the initiative: supporting faculty to create Inklings courses, providing grants, and building fellowship through a cohort model. The Wade Center at Wheaton College (~4:10) — The in-person annual gathering for fellows, housing original manuscripts, Tolkien's desk, Lewis's wardrobe, etc. Diverse faculty backgrounds (~6:30) — How professors from biology, business, public relations, and other non-literary fields are teaching Inklings courses, and why that breadth matters. The origin story of the project (~10:20) — Liz traces it from a CS Lewis course she took as a freshman at Brown, to founding a student society, to pitching the idea to Notre Dame's McGrath Institute. The challenge of reading loads & expanding to high schools (~17:30) — How professors handle the sheer volume of Inklings material, and the project's potential future cohort for high school and homeschool teachers. Next Week: At long last, The Silver Trumpet!
Did God punish Herod too harshly in Acts 12? Was God fair to hold him accountable for something he didn't do? In this episode, Emma Dotter covers the death of Herod at the end of Acts 12, explaining why he was immediately struck down when people called him a god. She explores what this passage tells us about God's holiness, character, and perfect justice, as well as man's accountability for sin, and what it all means for us today. // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: S4:268 Acts 12-14 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-268-acts-12-14/id1600151923?i=1000735847137) // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?

Are you ever surprised when God answers prayers? Should we pray even if we doubt God will answer? How do emotions play into doubt? In this episode, Emma Dotter explores how the early church was surprised by God answering their prayers for Peter to be freed from prison, how that applies to our prayer lives today, and how God doesn't rely on our emotional stability to answer prayers. // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: S4:268 Acts 12-14 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-268-acts-12-14/id1600151923?i=1000735847137) // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?

Ready to finally break free from the relentless go-go-go of homeschool mom life and actually feel rested again? (Nope, that nagging to-do list doesn't count.) In this episode, I'm inviting you behind the scenes of my own summer shift—from noisy productivity to a slower, more soul-filling kind of rest.Here's the not-so-secret truth: most of us homeschool moms are absolutely terrible at resting. I know I am. Give me an empty summer calendar, and suddenly I'm knee-deep in a bedroom declutter, my head bursting with more projects than I could possibly finish. Meanwhile, my kids are doing exactly what summer's meant for: slowing down, savoring, sleeping in, play, and a little joyful loafing. Why is it so hard for us to join them?This week, I'm reflecting on what rest really means (hint: it's way deeper than a rare solo trip to Target). There's “day at the spa” rest, sure—but even more, there's the everyday spiritual and emotional rest Jesus offers. I'm sharing practical habits I'm actively working on—like journaling in my Bible, being intentional with what I choose to read (and what inputs I allow!), slowing down my audiobooks (yes, really), and actually carving out margin to just...be quiet. Maybe you'll hear something that sparks your own personal “rest” list.Want to create habits of rest, not just wish for them? Grab your notebook. Let's do it.What you'll hear in this episode:The honest confession: why “rest” never makes it to the top of my list—and what changed this summer.The four types of exhaustion (and why it matters for homeschool moms).What spiritual rest really looks like (spoiler: it's not a spa day).My personal “habits of rest” list for summer—including practical, small ways to slow down.Choosing your “inputs” and why intentionality matters for an overwhelmed mind.How to reclaim quiet reflection and model healthier rhythms for our kids.The “shutdown practice” I'm experimenting with to protect my evenings and my sanity.Resources mentioned:Tired of Being Tired by Jess ConnollyMatthew 11:28-30Journaling BibleKayse Pratt's Weekly Reset System on sale through June 30, 2026!Previous episode with Kasey Pratt on monthly planningYour turn:What would make your own "habits of rest" list?Which type of exhaustion is loudest in your life right now?Share your list or reflections in our homeschool community!
Jim talked with Cory Doctorow—prolific sci-fi and nonfiction author, journalist, activist, EFF special adviser, and author of Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It—about how structural forces degraded the internet, and what citizens (not consumers) can actually do about it. They discussed: The origin of "enshittification"—Cory's January 2023 blog post, its viral spread, and its naming as Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society Two-sided markets & the persistence of intermediaries Crad Kilodney as a self-publishing illustration, and why platform middlemen survive even when they shouldn't Monopsony vs. monopoly The real statistics of Amazon's dominance of book sales The three-stage enshittification life cycle, using Facebook as the case study The brittle equilibrium of late-stage enshittification—the thin line between "I hate this but can't leave" and mass exodus The metaverse as Facebook's terminal pivot—Zuckerberg's "legless, sexless, low-polygon" avatar world stolen from a 25-year-old cyberpunk novel, and why it still served him by forestalling investor sell-offs Zuckerberg as Rich Uncle Pennybags, not Willy Wonka Amazon's early history & Bezos's "your margin is my opportunity" mantra Amazon's junk fees (now 50–60% and rising) and the $80 billion/year advertising payola business The consumer welfare doctrine—Robert Bork's antitrust theory that monopoly is efficient, and why allowing monopsonies inevitably produces monopolies Jim's personal experience with the Thomson-West legal publishing merger Tech workers as a structural check on enshittification The convergence enabling enshittification: merger to monopoly → regulatory capture → loss of worker leverage → DMCA blocking entrants → abuse The moral decay of business culture—from "we won't do profitable things we think are wrong," to "do whatever's arguably legal," to "do whatever's illegal if the fine is less than the benefit" Google's $20 billion/year payment to Apple to stay off the search market Why predatory pricing cases went unenforced What citizens (not consumers) can do The death of federal antitrust enforcement and international ripple effects State-level antitrust action as a remaining avenue The right to repair as an easy entry point Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs as a paradoxical opportunity Tech as geopolitical weapon—Microsoft accounts bricked for a Brazilian judge who sentenced Bolsonaro; the ICC chief prosecutor's accounts shut down after the Netanyahu arrest warrant The vision for open, auditable, sovereign digital public goods to replace the enshittified American Internet—run internationally, controlled locally … and much more.

Frank Lesniak joins Andrew Pla for a wide-ranging conversation that covers Frank's newly minted Microsoft MVP status, his journey through PowerShell, and what it looks like to build a real presence in the tech community. Frank talks through the pipeline struggles that tripped him up early on, how his VB Script and object-oriented background made the shift to PowerShell's object model feel disorienting, and how AI has quietly changed the way he approaches scripting today. The conversation takes a thoughtful turn as Andrew and Frank dig into impostor syndrome, the value of conference speaking, and how showing up consistently in the community compounds into a career. Frank also shares an update on DuPage Animal Friends, the nonprofit he serves, which supports one of the country's highest-performing open-admission animal shelters. Key Takeaways: The PowerShell pipeline is one of the most commonly cited stumbling blocks for newcomers, especially those coming from text-based scripting backgrounds. Learning to visualize what your objects look like at each stage of the pipeline, using tools like Get-Member, is a skill that pays dividends long term. Showing up at conferences and user groups, even when you feel underprepared, is how you build the reps that eventually make it feel natural. Frank's consulting background gave him a head start on presentation skills, and he's clear that no one is born polished. Community involvement and career growth are more connected than they might look from the outside. Engaging with people on GitHub, at events, and through open source creates a feedback loop that builds confidence and opens doors. Guest Bio: Frank Lesniak returns to The PowerShell Podcast, this time as a Microsoft MVP (Microsoft Azure, PowerShell). Frank is a Sr. Cybersecurity & Enterprise Technology Architect at West Monroe, where PowerShell runs through client work on corporate M&A: carve-outs, tenant-to-tenant migrations, identity consolidation, endpoint moves, and security posture improvement across Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, Active Directory, Intune, Defender, and Windows. Beyond consulting, Frank speaks at technical conferences, mentors first-time speakers, and publishes open-source PowerShell standards and tooling, including PSStyleGuide, GloryRole, and PSConnMon.
