You keep your head down, play nice, and still get steamrolled by everyone else's expectations. ADHD isn't the problem — it's the world that ignores how you operate. The Impulsive Thinker® and Dr. Stephen Hinshaw call out what everyone else misses about masking, silence, and the cost of being invisible.   In This Episode: ADHD in women and girls — what masking really costs The hidden dangers of suffering in silence Research-backed risks that follow when nobody notices   What You'll Take Away: Masking is survival, but it comes at a brutal personal cost For women and girls with ADHD, problems snowball until they're unavoidable Suffering in silence leads to real-world risks — including mental health and relationships Negative outcomes aren't fate when the right support shows up One or two people who "get it" can turn everything around   ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode of The Impulsive Thinker® puts a spotlight on ADHD in women and girls, breaking down the silent damage masking causes. The Impulsive Thinker® pushes the conversation past clichés to show how suffering in silence compounds over years. Real data, not empty reassurance — everything discussed has lived experience and research behind it. If you've been told you're not trying hard enough, or if hiding has become your norm, this is why it matters in your business and life. Built for ADHD entrepreneurs tired of invisible struggles. Hit play and hear what nobody else is saying.   Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours.

Plus, from Channel 7, Emma Freedman reflects on a heady and intense Spring for Australian racing, while Sara Cumani looks ahead to the Tattersalls foal sales, and JA McGrath has the latest from Hong Kong. Harry Fry opens the show with an update on his three intended runners at Ascot this weekend.

For nearly a decade, a court in Hamm, Germany has been considering a case brought by a Peruvian farmer, Saul Luciano Lliuya, against the giant German utility RWE. The legal claim was novel: Lliuya said because RWE had caused a percentage of climate change because of its share of past fossil emissions, and that climate change threatened his farm by potentially collapsing a glacial lake, RWE should have to pay a pro rata percentage of the adaptation costs of protecting the farm against potential flood.Judges flew to Peru, took testimony from dozens of experts, heard the defence by RWE. And as their press release noted, the claim in its particulars was dismissed:Climate case against RWE: Hamm Higher Regional Court rejects Peruvian plaintiff's appeal as unfoundedThe court held there was “no imminent danger” to Saul's farm.But that's not the whole story. As an Ancient Greek king supposedly once said: “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” Because in its 25th May ruling the court also held - for the first time, anywhere - that fossil fuel emitters can be held accountable financially for damages, anywhere.Three days later, as if to make a point, the Swiss village of Blatten 500 miles south of Hamm in Germany was destroyed by a glacial collapse. One person was reported missing - but most of the area's 300 residents had been moved out of danger in time.So is the RWE case a blow to climate litigation or is it a Pyrrhic victory that could set in motion a whole range of new claims that could run to the tens of trillions of dollars, in the kind of law case even Americans can understand: “You broke my fence, you pay to fix the fence.” Or in this case: “You broke my climate.”Dana Drugmand covers climate cases around the world and we talked about the precedent this might set - and we also discuss some of her coverage of plenty of other US climate cases that continue to roll on despite the best efforts of the Trump Administration and oil & gas companies to stop them.Wicked Problems is a reader-supported publication.

On June 6 of last year, Prof. Hal Scott of Harvard Law School was our podcast guest. On that occasion he delved into the thought-provoking question of whether the Supreme Court's decision on May 16 in the landmark case of CFSA v. CFPB really hands the CFPB a winning outcome, or does the Court's validation of the agency's statutory funding structure simply open up another question - namely, whether the CFPB is legally permitted under Dodd-Frank to receive funds from the Federal Reserve even though the Federal Reserve Banks have lost money on a combined basis since September 2022. Dodd-Frank provides that the CFPB is to receive its funding out of the Federal Reserve Banks “combined earnings.” The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed by Prof Scott on May 20 titled “The CFPB's Pyrrhic Victory in the Supreme Court” in which he explains that even though the CFPB's funding mechanism as written was upheld in CFSA v. CFPB, this will not help the agency now or at any time in the future when the Federal Reserve operates at a deficit. A lot has happened since Prof. Scott's last appearance on our podcast show. Several enforcement  lawsuits filed by the CFPB were faced with motions to dismiss filed by the defendants alleging that the lawsuits could not be financed by the CFPB with funds that were unlawfully procured The CFPB gave short shrift to this argument but never could adequately explain how “earnings” as used in Dodd-Frank really means “revenues” and not profits. While 3 courts rejected the motions to dismiss, those courts decided to do so without dealing with the core issue of whether “earnings” means profits or revenues. President Trump became President on January 20 and, shortly thereafter, Rohit Chopra was terminated. The new Acting Director, Russell Vought, proceeded to shutter the CFPB by, among other things, terminating or putting on administrative leave with instructions to do no work  most of its employees and refusing to seek a quarterly funding from the Federal Reserve. Mr. Vought did not base this refusal on the premise that the receipt of such funding would be illegal. Two lawsuits have been filed against the Acting Director challenging the legality of the apparent dismantling of the CFPB. While the CFPB is defending these cases on the basis that the President and the Acting Director have the Constitutional right to downsize and alter the policies of the CFPB, they have surprisingly not made the argument that the CFPB's funding is unlawful. Prof. Scott on Feb, 1 published another op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal entitled “Rohit Chopra is out. Now Shutter the CFPB” and two articles on the website of the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation (of which Prof. Scott is the President and Director) entitled “Understanding the CFPB's Funding Problem” and “The Fed's Accounting Methodology Cannot Expand its Statutory Authority to Fund the CFOB.”  Our podcast show released today takes a very deep dive into those articles and explains Prof. Scott's position that the Fed's accounting for the massive losses of the Federal Reserve Banks (which creates a deferred asset account composed of anticipated future earnings of the Federal Reserve Banks which the Federal Reserve Banks will not need to remit to the treasury because the banks may recoup its accumulated losses since September 2022) has no bearing on whether the Fed has been lawfully funding the CFPB out of “combined earnings” of the Federal Reserve Banks. Prof Scott also rebuts several counterarguments made by those who claim that the CFPB has been lawfully funded throughout. Prof. Scott also discusses why he believes that congress may use a budget appropriations bill whose passage requires only a majority, not 60, vote in the Senate in order to subject the CFPB to funding through the congressional appropriations process.  Our blogs about the Supreme Court decision in CFSA v.

Was this Pyrrhic victory on Sunday? ITL discuss.

It's 279 BC. On a large plain in Southern Italy near the town of Asculum, a famous Greek warlord likened to Alexander the Great faces down the legions of the Roman Republic. His name was Pyrrhus of Epirus. And the victory that he won at Asculum would come to define his legacy.In this instalment of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr. Louis Rawlings to dive into the cauldron of political intrigue and backstabbing that followed the death of Alexander the Great and talk through the story of Pyrrhus, his battles against Romans, Carthaginians, Sicilians, Greeks and how he managed to win the first ever 'Pyrrhic Victory'.Presented by Tristan Hughes.

A PYRRHIC VICTORY: VOLUME III: FATE In 279 BC, Pyrrhus has just won the bloody battle of Asculum against the Romans in the battle that gave rise to the expression – “A Pyrrhic Victory” – one that comes at such a great cost that the victory may not have been worth the ordeal that was suffered. While punished, the power of the legions has not been broken. The road to Rome is still barred to Pyrrhus. His peace terms are again rejected. He must gather greater strength to break the deadlock, and accepts the invitation of the powerful Greek cities in Sicily to lead them against the invading Carthaginians. In return, they offer him their support in his war against Rome. Pyrrhus was described by Hannibal as the finest commander the world had seen, after Alexander himself.

The European elections this past weekend saw far right parties gain ground in a number of countries. Greece was not an exception, with the party Greek Solution more than doubling its support since the last elections. Beyond the far right's gains, the ruling New Democracy did not hit its target, describing the results as a “pyrrhic victory”, while the battle for second place between SYRIZA and PASOK proved inconclusive. Meanwhile, in Cyprus, a 24 year old YouTuber made political waves finishing third. Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis from Athens.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Where did all the far-right votes come from?Nine new hands and 12 old ones heading to StrasbourgSYRIZA members urge overture to center-left parties following election resultsPM rules out snap election, hints at reshuffleGreece sends aid to raging Cyprus wildfireHouses burnt down in out-of-control Paphos wildfire

Special guest Professor Hal Scott of Harvard Law School joins us today as we delve into the thought-provoking question of whether the Supreme Court's recent decision in the landmark case of CFSA v. CFPB really hands the CFPB a winning outcome, or does the Court's validation of the agency's statutory funding structure simply open up another question: whether the CFPB is legally permitted to receive funds from the Federal Reserve if (as now) the Fed has no earnings. In other words, was the outcome in CFSA v. CFPB an illusory Pyrrhic victory for the CFPB? And, what happens next? Our episode begins with a brief discussion of the underlying case. Professor Scott follows with an explanation of the CFPB's statutory funding mechanism as established by the Dodd-Frank Act, which provides that the CFPB is to receive its funding out of the Federal Reserve System's “earnings”, and the Supreme Court's decision upholding that structure. Then, we turn to an in-depth discussion of the op-ed Professor Scott published in the Wall Street Journal entitled “The CFPB's Pyrrhic Victory in the Supreme Court”, in which Professor Scott explains that even though the CFPB's funding mechanism as written was upheld in CFSA v. CFPB, this will not help the agency now or at any time in the future when the Federal Reserve operates at a deficit – in fact, has no earnings it can legally send to the CFPB. Professor Scott describes how his focus on the Federal Reserve led him to scrutinize and then question the approach taken in the majority opinion; and then turns to an explanation of how a constitutional issue under the Appropriations Clause in fact may persist because in the absence of Fed earnings, funds paid to the CFPB arguably have not been drawn from the Treasury. We then go over possible arguments challenging the CFPB's issuance and enforcement of regulations, and what might ensue when the federal district court takes up CFSA v. CFPB for further proceedings. Alan Kaplinsky, former practice leader and current Senior Counsel in Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, hosts this week's episode.

A year on, has his family received an apology from the government for the miscarriage of justice? And what about Peter's four women co-workers whose lives were turned upside down for decades when they were also charged with child abuse and then discharged in the early 1990s? Hosted on Acast.

On the subject of pre-Halloween, we had fun seeing...and talking about...the jack-o-lanterns our listeners made, which of our home states (South Dakota/Ohio) is most likely to be into sexy Halloween costumes, and the love or hatred of candy corn. But there was non-Halloween stuff too: Sports Director Todd taught us a new phrase: Pyrrhic Victory (concerning the Vikings), why Taylor Swift releases most of her albums in October, and Tim knows a little too much about the guitars featured on Michael Jackson's "Beat It." This could be the knowledge you need to win a big game show!

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced that a deal had been reached with Turkey's President Erdogan in order to lift his veto on Sweden's NATO accession. While the announcement was followed by celebrations, Sweden still needs Turkey's parliament to approve its membership - which could take months. It looks like Turkey also now anticipates the lifting of most defense-related sanctions, and expects Europe to move on its EU accession process. Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former Pentagon official, joins Thanos Davelis to look into the details of this deal, and break down why Erdogan walking away from this high-stakes poker game with new concessions is problematic.Read Michael Rubin's latest here:The Turkey-NATO Deal On Sweden Is A DisasterSweden SurrendersThe Turkey-Iran terror nexus in occupied Cyprus shakes the status quoYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Security Council Press Statement on CyprusNicosia welcomes UN security council support for new envoyPM raises ethnic Greek mayor's arrest with Rama‘For us, freedom is not self-evident'

Kevin McCarthy won a prohibitively costly “victory” yesterday by pushing through the House of Representatives a debt ceiling hike supported by more Democrats than Republicans.  After the vote, the Speaker boasted that it was easier to do than he had anticipated. Here's why: Surrendering generally takes less effort than fighting and prevailing over your partisan foes. In this case, as a White House official made clear, the so-called bipartisan compromise “locked in,” rather than defunded, Democratic priorities – like hiring 87,000 armed IRS agents and radical leftist energy and climate change priorities. And there's no limit to how much additional national debt can be incurred over the next two years. Mr. McCarthy's Pyrrhic victory will have another cost: It profoundly alienates Republicans who voted for a real opposition to the Biden Marxists, not a controlled one that merely enables their take-down of America.  This is Frank Gaffney.

On May 21, Russian forces declared victory in Bakhmut after nearly a year of battle, marking their first seizure over a major city since Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in the summer of 2022. While Russian propagandists have likened the victory in Bakhmut to the Fall of Berlin, analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) argue that Bakhmut actually lost its (limited) strategic significance back in September. On this week's episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia speak with one of ISW's Russia analysts, Kateryna Stepanenko, to discuss her new piece contextualizing the battle for Bakhmut since its start in the spring of 2022 and what it might suggest about Russia's ability to mount successful offensive operations. Is the Russian army able to adapt to the realities of the battlefield? Do they value "information victories" over military victories? Stepanenko and the co-hosts also discuss the right-wing pro-Kremlin milbloggers' sudden shift from staunch ultra-nationalism to deep skepticism over a potential Russian mobilization. Show notes: Sign up for The Eastern Front's bi-weekly newsletter here and follow us on Twitter here; "The Kremlin's Pyrrhic Victory in Bakhmut: A Retrospective on the Battle for Bakhmut" by Kateryna Stepanenko.

Russian forces captured the city of Bakhmut largely led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group and its fighters—who suffered heavy losses on the battlefield. One Decision's Julia Macfarlane and former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove discuss Russia's next move as it prepares for Ukraine's counter-offensive, and what's behind the border skirmishes in the Russian town of Belgorod.

Skill over Scoreboard: How to Not Have A Pyrrhic victory - Episode 37 w/ Coach Bryn

Pyrrhus, the Warrior King.  Father of the "Pyrrhic Victory."  Smuggled out of the palace at two years old.  Raised in exile by Illyrians.  Pyrrhus grew to be the "greatest commander of his day" according to observers like Hannibal and Antigonus.[Original music score based on Epirot and other Greek folk traditions, by Ilias Markantonis.See Ilias' work on Facebook, or Instagram (@ilias_markantonis)]In this episode:-Find a mentor-Transcend a mentor-Identify the Master Skill in your field, and focus-How to master fear-Seizing opportunities to expand your networkThanks to our sponsor, historical fiction author Jackson Riddle! www.jacksonsriddle.comCheck out his new book, A Potter's Vessel, an alternative telling of the conflict that became the US Civil War.Pyrrhus of Epirus (319-272 BC) was a cousin of Alexander the Great.  He was the first man to take battle elephants to Italy. He defeated the Romans on several occasions in what became known as the Pyrrhic Wars.In Part 1, we meet Pyrrhus as a 2 year old, as he is snatched from his crib in a deadly coup.As he struggles to establish himself in his kingdom through his teenage and early adult years, he learns that the only path toward self-reliance for him and for his kingdom is through the sword.  Some lessons:It's always useful to have a mentor.  But you may not have to bind yourself to that person forever.“As his former mentor and now esteemed arch enemy, Demetrius put Pyrrhus through the best school of war anyone could hope for – strategy, tactics, hand to hand combat – Pyrrhus could learn it all from the best - if he could keep his head.”Also, seize any opportunity to expand your network both professionally and personally. Case in point: Pyrrhus in Asia, and Egypt.Find a master a skill in your own field. If there is one thing Pyrrhus exemplifies, it is the power of personal courage in a leader.  So if that's an area you need to work on (hint: you can never have too much courage), start now.  Courage is physical.
