In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his exploration of generosity, focusing on Day 96 from Orchos Tzaddikim (page 567, Treasure for Life edition). He emphasizes that generosity is a habit, a muscle strengthened through consistent giving, regardless of one's financial means. Citing the Rambam, he explains that giving small amounts frequently, like a dollar a million times, builds this habit more effectively than a single large donation. Rabbi Wolbe shares personal anecdotes, such as a man who always donates to the synagogue's charity box despite limited means, and his own efforts to give eagerly during the Torch campaign, highlighting the importance of giving with joy and humanity, not reluctance or kvetching, to instill a culture of generosity in future generations.Rabbi Wolbe stresses the highest form of charity: giving anonymously, where neither the giver nor the recipient knows the other's identity, as exemplified by organizations like Tomche Shabbos, which discreetly supports families in need. He recounts stories, including one where he fulfilled a friend's request to feed a hungry person in Israel, underscoring the privilege of giving with kindness. Quoting scriptures and sages, he warns against giving with a sour expression or avoiding charity, equating such avoidance to idolatry, as it prioritizes money over God's will. The episode concludes with a call to treat the poor with love, as they may be God testing one's generosity, with rewards proportional to the kindness shown.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 10, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 8, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Pastor Andrew Banker delivered a deeply personal and theologically rich message rooted in Romans 8:1–17, emphasizing our identity in Christ as adopted sons and daughters of God. Sharing from his family's journey through foster care and adoption, Andrew illustrated the transforming power of God's love and how it redefines us. He began by recounting how his family, including five biological and foster children, embraced the call to foster care. Their decision to adopt a Guatemalan baby boy, Elias, was framed not just as an act of love, but as a spiritual metaphor for how God adopts us. Andrew described the day in court when Elias's legal documents were changed—his name, identity, and parental records now fully under Andrew and his wife, Savannah. This experience mirrored what happens spiritually when we accept Christ: we receive a new name, a new identity, and full inheritance as God's children. Andrew taught that this adoption means we are no longer slaves to sin or fear, but children and heirs of God. He noted that in Roman culture, adoption was a powerful legal act—more binding and honorable than even biological inheritance. Paul's use of adoption language in Romans would have had immense significance to his audience. The second point focused on transformation. Once adopted, our desires begin to shift. Citing Romans 8:5, Andrew explained that those who live by the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. This change is not manufactured by effort but occurs naturally as we spend time with our heavenly Father. He used the analogy of coffee—how deeper understanding leads to new appreciation—to show how knowledge and relationship with God lead to changed desires. Andrew then illustrated how trauma and brokenness are not disqualifiers from God's love. Quoting testimonies and referencing stories of abuse and sin, he stressed that God says “I'll take that one”—the wounded, the addicted, the insecure. No past sin or present struggle can separate us from God's love. In Christ, our old record is erased, and a new life begins. Finally, Andrew emphasized that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in believers. This power equips us for a new life filled with hope, identity, and joy. He likened this to giving a child a bicycle—while there may be falls and pain, the ride is worth it, and the Father is always there to guide, protect, and lift us. Discussion Questions Adoption Identity What does it mean to be spiritually adopted by God? How might your life look different if you truly lived out of that identity? Changed Desires What old desires do you struggle with that reflect the “flesh” instead of the Spirit? How can time with God reshape those desires? New Life in Christ Where in your life have you experienced the “new life” Jesus offers? What are some areas where you still need to trust in that transformation? Living Like Sons and Daughters Do you relate to God more like a child or like a worker trying to earn approval? What can you do this week to rest more fully in being God's beloved child? Engagement with Others How might understanding your spiritual adoption empower you to engage with others who feel unworthy or unloved?

Jeff Morgan from Jews for Jesus joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to share his testimony and insights into sharing the gospel with the Jewish community. Jeff grew up in a Jewish household, celebrating high holidays and occasionally observing Shabbat. As a young adult, he pursued fame in Los Angeles but quickly became disillusioned with the cost of success. In search of meaning, he turned to new age spiritualism. Though the experience began with spiritual highs, it soon led to depression and suicidal thoughts. His life began to shift after meeting his future wife, who stood firm amid his struggles. At his lowest, he admitted to her that he didn't know what he was doing and was being spiritually tormented. Shortly after, Jeff met a pastor at the gym, which led to conversations and prayer. Another gym-goer prayed over him, and Jeff began to feel life return. He started seeing Jesus everywhere and was invited to a church men's retreat where the message on Jesus' transfiguration transformed him. He rushed home to tell his wife, only to find she, too, had been experiencing encounters with Jesus. In a powerful moment, they both surrendered their lives to Jesus and were filled with peace. Jeff dove into Scripture, eventually joining Jews for Jesus to share his newfound faith.Jeff, formerly the host of a vegan lifestyle channel, now uses his platform for evangelism, especially to reach fellow Jews. Sharing the gospel in Israel presents unique challenges—while religious freedom exists, insensitive evangelism (like megaphone preaching) can spark backlash due to the historical persecution of Jews in Jesus' name. Jeff emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and authentic care when speaking to Jewish people. He offers practical advice for evangelizing to Jews: understand the Jewish context of Scripture, use terms like Yeshua, emphasize that faith in Jesus fulfills rather than abandons Jewish identity, and highlight Old Testament prophecies. Quoting passages like Isaiah 53 often prompts thought-provoking discussions. Jeff points out that the New Testament is deeply Jewish, starting with Jesus' genealogy, and urges Christians to learn rabbinical interpretations and be led by love, not fear.Despite occasional persecution—being spit at or having things thrown—Jeff sees increasing openness among Jewish people. Mark relates, sharing how his own Jewish in-laws have resisted the gospel but how he feels renewed conviction to persevere. The guys encourage believers: while the message of the gospel never changes, how we deliver it can make all the difference.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Micah and Trey go deep on when to walk away, when to quote, and how to use quoting as a strategic wedge, not a desperate Hail Mary.If you've ever struggled with finding the balance between BOR-only and quoting everything that moves, this is the blueprint you've been waiting for.This episode is brought to you by:

ERECTILE DYSFUNTION: How It Happens, What Can Go Wrong, and Solutions   Dr. Paul Joannides is the author of Guide to Getting It On, now in its Tenth Edition. This is a well-known guide on sexuality which is used in college and medical school sex-ed courses in the U.S. and Canada. Please check out his comprehensive, informative website -- www.guidetogettingiton.com.      Dr. Paul and Dr. Diana began with the biological/medical aspects of erectile dysfunction (ED). Dr. Paul reports that 50% of men have ED at 50 years of age. Research shows that more than 60% of men who suffered a serious heart attack experience erection problems more than two years prior to their heart attack. So why is ED the canary in the coal mine for serious health problems?   ED can result from vascular issues (heart disease, high blood pressure, etc.) or the cause can be nerve-based (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, etc.). Metabolic Syndrome is often present: being overweight, low levels of good cholesterol, high blood sugar.  Also, gum disease caused by no flossing increases the chances of experiencing ED by some 300%. Other life-style issues are involved including lack of exercise, poor diet, and drinking too much (causing “whiskey dick”). Also, if a man under 40 experiences ED, he is seven times more likely to have a heart attack when he is older.   For physical causes of ED, PDE-5 Inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis, etc.) help with the nitric oxide, relaxing the smooth muscle inside the penis, all in service of an erection. Another possible cause: too much tension held between the legs, in both men and women. Pelvic floor PTs often suggest that the patient stop doing Kegels because the muscles are too tight.   How about the psychological issues?  Quoting from Dr. Paul's book: “Often, the biggest problem with ED isn't the lack of erection. Rather, it's a lack of playfulness and resourcefulness on the part of the man and woman when they are confronted with a hard-on that's a no show.”   It takes most young men years, even decades, to leave penis-centric sex behind and understand the erotic value and pleasure of whole-body sensuality, rather just sticking it in. But few women appreciate how diminished men feel by ED. The couple needs to talk. Part of the problem is that men get less practice than women discussing their emotions, and when they do, they're less skilled.   Dr. Diana discussed a case where the husband loses his erection during intercourse. The wife wondered if she did something wrong.  She asked, “What should I do when that happens?” Most erection problems are not caused by a partner doing something wrong but by feelings that the man has before or during sex. My advice: Don't get pulled into a big drama about it. You want to respect your husband's distress, of course, but you don't have to agree that the sky is falling just because his penis does. They need to talk about how it feels, what she wants, what he wants, and what the options seem to be. The wife agreed this wasn't much of a problem unless it's made a problem by his turning away in frustration or anger.   Coping with age-related erection changes: forget quickies and spontaneous sex – schedule it; before making love, enjoy quality non-sexual time together: have fun; bathe or shower together beforehand; be patient with your penis. The latter is important and you can breathe deeply, kiss, cuddle, touch each other all over, savor novelty, enjoy vivid fantasies, and slow down with extended loveplay!   Do yourself a favor and get Dr. Paul Joannides' book Guide to Getting It On.  It is a sensitive and playful guide; also funny, irreverent, intelligent and very honest … The very same qualities possessed by its author Paul Joannides! Furthermore, Dr. Diana knows him to be very kind and very sweet!  

Trump made an early and hasty exit from the G7 Summit in Canada as he warned anyone in Tehran, Iran to get out. The warning echoed similar calls from Israeli leaders to evacuate Tehran, possibly signaling that a large attack is imminent. Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author David Cay Johnston joins us to talk about world events.Pulizer Prize winning historian and author Steven Hahn joins to discuss his book “Illiberal America.”Quoting from the book description on Amazon, “If your reaction to the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol was to think, 'That's not us,' think again.” In Illiberal America, Steven Hahn “uncovers a powerful illiberalism as deep-seated in the American past as the founding ideals.” This should be a fascinating conversation. The Mark Thompson Show 6/17/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

In this episode Al Fadi and Dr jay discuss reason #3, The brotherhood of Islam(Al Umma). In the U.S. the emphasis is on the oppressors are white people and the oppressed are black people; and that Christianity started slavery pointing to North Atlantic slavery in the 14-18 century. Going back in the history of Arabs and Muslims being slave traders in the time of Muhammad and he never forbade it. Quoting very famous Muslim scholars Al Fadi and Dr Jay point out the names Muslims call the African people, Abeed; which means slaves as one example. This history is hidden from the converts to Islam in the U.S. who mostly come from African American background. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Peter calls believers to live in harmony with one another. This life is marked by unity, compassion, love, humility, and sympathy. He urges them not to repay evil for evil, or insult for insult, but instead to bless others, reflecting the grace they themselves have received. Peter reminds his readers that they are called to this way of life, inheriting a blessing in return. Quoting from Psalm 34, he emphasizes that those who desire to love life and see good days must turn from evil, control their speech, and actively seek peace. Finally, Peter reassures believers that God watches over the righteous and listens to their prayers, while standing against those who do evil. This assurance provides both encouragement and a sobering reminder of God’s justice. Visit us online at: RenewalChurch.net

In this CPQ Podcast episode, Frank Sohn speaks with Ethan, co-founder of Vendori, a fast-growing CPQ startup focused on reducing implementation time, cutting costs, and delivering faster ROI through a no-code, multi-tenant solution. Ethan shares his journey from Wall Street M&A at Merrill Lynch to leadership roles at SAP and Citrix, where he saw firsthand how traditional CPQ tools often caused more friction than they solved—especially for companies shifting to SaaS. That experience inspired him to create a better path forward. Vendori is built for B2B tech companies—hardware and SaaS—starting with 5-10 CPQ users and scaling into the hundreds. The platform offers subscription management, guided selling, and AI-assisted workflows, while boasting integrations with Salesforce, Hubspot, Oracle, SAP, Teams, and Slack—with some customers onboarded in under a day. In the episode, Ethan unpacks: Why many customers are three years into “18-month” CPQ rollouts How Vendori focuses on control and velocity The real role of AI in CPQ—and why price optimization isn't the holy grail What it means to build a CPQ company around family, faith, and community If you're exploring CPQ or rethinking your current solution, this is one episode you won't want to miss.

Watering Brother Singh's message "AN AGE OF SELF-LOVERS," Brother Sam reiterated the importance of being part of the church. He stressed that we are not just church attendees, but integral parts of the church. Quoting 2 Timothy 3:2, he pointed out that those who are lovers of their own selves are not willing to make sacrifices for the Body of Christ. This lack of dedication and commitment to the work of God is a sign of unwillingness to for discipleship, as Jesus defined in Luke 9:23.

In this special crossover episode, Max Trescott, host of the Aviation News Talk podcast, appears as a guest on Dr. Tony Kern's Only Human podcast. The two aviation safety advocates engage in a candid, insightful conversation that bridges their shared backgrounds in aviation, safety culture, and leadership. The episode begins with a segment called “This Week in Safety Land,” spotlighting a tragic helicopter crash involving tourists over the Hudson River. The Director of Operations (DO) at the company involved chose to cease operations pending investigation, only to be overruled and fired by the CEO—prompting FAA intervention. Max and Tony reflect on this as a textbook example of the ongoing conflict between operational production and safety protection, a dynamic familiar in aviation, military, and corporate environments alike. They explore how profit-driven decisions often undermine safety, and how organizations with high-risk operations must prioritize a culture that empowers safety-conscious leadership. Tony shares a story of elephants at the San Diego Zoo sensing an earthquake before it was perceptible to humans—forming a protective circle around the young. Max likens this to the importance of organizational structures that support bottom-up safety communication. Drawing on his early career at Hewlett-Packard, he praises HP's open-door policy that encouraged employees to escalate safety issues when necessary. He stresses that open communication channels are essential, especially in high-risk domains. Max then shares his personal journey from a successful 25-year career at HP to full-time aviation after a layoff. What began as a side hobby teaching flying eventually evolved into a full-time vocation, spurred in part by a deeply personal tragedy: the death of a close friend and five others in a preventable aircraft accident. Max, who arrived on the crash scene within 45 minutes and attended multiple funerals that week, found a new purpose—preventing similar accidents by educating pilots. That experience drove Max to start Aviation News Talk, where he strives to deliver rich, actionable content on general aviation safety. His mission: to save lives by making safety knowledge accessible, engaging, and relevant to every pilot—from student to professional. He explains that his podcast is designed to offer “at least one nugget of value per episode” that listeners can apply immediately. Tony and Max discuss the unglamorous public perception of safety roles—often viewed as dull or punitive. Tony notes that safety officers are often assigned the job after incidents or during grounding periods. Max offers a reframing: don't lead with safety—lead with professionalism. If pilots strive to be excellent in their craft, safety naturally follows. “Do your job well, be curious, be disciplined,” Max says—traits that elevate both personal performance and safety outcomes. They turn to current trends, asking whether aviation is getting less safe. While total accident numbers may be down, Max points out that media coverage is up, and many general aviation (GA) accidents—especially runway excursions involving business jets—suggest continued risks. What matters more than raw numbers, he explains, is the accident rate per 100,000 hours flown, data that lags by over a year. For GA pilots, the accident risk remains significant, especially among newer or less experienced pilots. Looking forward, Max and Tony explore the safety challenges of tomorrow. Max debunks the idea of achieving a static “safe state” and explains that aviation is inherently dynamic—subject to changes in personnel, technology, weather, and processes. He highlights the importance of conducting safety assessments prior to changes in operations, procedures, or equipment. Quoting safety expert Todd Conklin, Max describes accidents as “the unexpected combination of normal aviation variability,” reinforcing the need for ongoing vigilance. Tony adds that while technological innovations—like AI, automation, and real-time training—offer efficiency, they don't guarantee increased safety. Often, humans simply push the margins when given better tools. He uses anti-lock brakes as an analogy: rather than driving more safely, people just drive faster. Similarly, faster, cheaper training methods could reduce experience levels without solving core human performance issues. The conversation closes with Max outlining the timeless characteristics of a great aviator: Judgment – the most critical trait, separating the skilled from the safe. Curiosity – a desire to learn, explore, and seek out knowledge. Discipline and consistency – following procedures and making flights “boring” in the best way. Situational awareness – understanding not just your own position, but what everyone else in the airspace is trying to do. Humility – recognizing that overconfidence kills and that learning never stops. Max emphasizes that aviation teaches life skills: staying humble, seeking excellence, and always being ready to learn. He ends by inviting listeners to consider flight training—not just for fun, but as a profound growth experience. Learning to fly, he says, can change how you see the world and yourself. Tony echoes the sentiment, encouraging listeners to take a discovery flight and explore the possibility. As the episode wraps, both hosts agree: while aviation may be unforgiving, it offers unmatched rewards for those who approach it with professionalism and passion.

Quoting, "I love the Lord because," and feeling emotional every time it's read. Recalling a life-changing experience in an old building during a revival with Jeff. "It was just an old building... But that building changed my life." Expressing gratitude for a unique and personal communication with God. "When God talks to me, it's different than the way I've been talking to him before." Acknowledging God's ultimate sacrifice and love. "He loved you enough to die for you." Standing Firm in Faith: A Sermon on Daniel 3 Referencing Daniel Chapter 3, starting in verse 10. King Nebuchadnezzar's decree to worship a golden image under penalty of being cast into a fiery furnace. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who refused to worship the idol. Nebuchadnezzar's challenge: "who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?" Prayer and Seeking Strength Praying for God's presence and help. Thanking God for salvation and the ability to feel His presence. "Lord, I thank you for saving me, Father. Lord, I thank you for changing my life that night in Burma, Tennessee." Seeking strength and growth in faith. "Lord, I pray that I can grow stronger in you, Father." Expressing gratitude for God's love, even for those who don't reciprocate. "Lord, I thank you, Lord, that you put a love in my heart... for those that don't love me back, Father." Desiring to dedicate every breath to worshiping God. "Lord, I want to spend every last breath that I've got, Father... worshiping you." The Leper King and Standing Firm Discussing the importance of standing firm in faith and not backing down. Sharing the story of a leper king in Jerusalem who became king at 13. At 16, he was battling leprosy and could not move his right arm. Facing an army of Muslims (23,000 men) with only 5,000 men. The king's prayer for deliverance and subsequent victory. "We're outnumbered tremendously. We have no men. But... I know one man who can deliver us." Drawing parallels to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who didn't bow down. Emphasizing the need for Christians to not give in to the world. Expressing admiration for brave and bold individuals. Pledging to pray for strength to stand strong for what is right. "As long as I'm living and breathing... I'm going to get on my knees... Help me stand strong for what's right." Addressing Worldliness and Prioritizing God Observing people giving in to sin and worldliness. Church members prioritizing worldly activities over spiritual ones. "Their bass boats is out on the lake on a Sunday. They're hunting on a Sunday." Questioning why God isn't blessing them. Promising that God will help those who prioritize Him. Referencing the leper king and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego as examples. Addressing the men in the congregation. Stating that men should lead their families in a Godly way. Lamenting that men have given up on God, leading to negative consequences for their families. "Their families is dying and going to hell. It breaks my heart." Encounter on the Dragon Sharing a personal experience of encountering someone in need of spiritual guidance. Feeling divinely prompted to speak to someone broken down on a motorcycle on "the Dragon" (a road). Initially hesitant due to being late for church. Engaging in a conversation about Jesus Christ and being born again. Weeping and sharing personal testimony. Warning the young man about the dangers of dying without salvation. "If you die on this dragon, you'll die and go to hell." Praying with the young man, who ultimately declined to be saved at that moment.

China fired off a sweeping package of robust countermeasures on Friday—including a 34 percent tariff hike and rare earth export controls—in response to the latest round of sweeping tariffs adopted by the administration of United States President Donald Trump.上周五，中国推出了一系列强有力的反制措施，包括提高34%的关税和稀土出口管制，以回应美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府采取的最新一轮大规模关税。More forceful and precise counterstrikes are still in Beijing's pocket if Washington persists with its unilateral trade bullying, several sources confirmed to China Daily.据多位消息人士向《中国日报》证实，如果华盛顿方面继续单边贸易霸凌，北京方面仍有可能采取更强力、更精准的反击措施。As approved by the State Council, the country's Cabinet, China will impose an additional 34 percent tariff on all US-origin imports starting on April 10. Simultaneously, the Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs announced immediate export restrictions on seven key medium to heavy rare earth elements, as China Daily first reported on Thursday.经国务院批准，中国将从4月10日起对所有原产于美国的进口产品征收34%的额外关税。据《中国日报》周四率先报道，商务部和海关总署同时宣布立即对七种关键的中重稀土元素实施出口限制。These elements—samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium—are crucial elements for manufacturing key products used in semiconductor, defense, aerospace and green energy.这些元素——钐、钆、铽、镝、镥、钪和钇——是制造半导体、国防、航空航天和绿色能源所用关键产品的关键元素。Citing their dual-use nature in both military and civilian industries, a spokesman for the Commerce Ministry said: "Imposing export controls on them is a common international practice. As a responsible major country, China's decision to regulate these items reflects its consistent position of firmly safeguarding world peace and regional stability."商务部发言人表示，这些元素涉及军民两用领域，“实施出口管制是国际通行做法。中国作为负责任大国，决定对这些产品实施管制，体现了坚定维护世界和平和地区稳定的一贯立场。”Other measures include filing a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization over the US' "reciprocal tariffs", launching an industry competitiveness investigation and an anti-dumping investigation regarding imported medical CT tubes from the US and India, adding 16 US entities to the export control list and 11 US companies to the unreliable entity list, and canceling import qualifications for certain US companies.其他措施还包括就美国“对等关税”向世界贸易组织提起诉讼、启动产业竞争力调查以及对原产于美国和印度的进口医用CT射线管发起反倾销调查、将16家美国实体列入出口管制名单、将11家美国公司列入不可靠实体名单、取消部分美资企业的进口资格等。Tu Xinquan, dean of the China Institute for WTO Studies at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said that such rapid, intensive and multi-pronged countermeasures are unprecedented in the world's history, proving that China will not sit back amid unilateral bullying tariffs.对外经济贸易大学中国世界贸易组织研究院院长屠新泉表示，如此迅速、密集、多管齐下的反制措施在世界历史上前所未有，表明中国不会坐视单边霸凌关税的威胁。"This isn't just tit-for-tat. These countermeasures, including both tariff and nontariff measures, aim to directly hit the weak spots of the US to make it feel the real pain," said Tu.“这不仅仅是针锋相对，这些包括关税和非关税措施的反制措施，都是要直击美国的薄弱环节，让其真正感受到痛点。”屠新泉说。Bai Ming, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said that China, as the world's second-largest economy, has taken the lead in resisting US trade protectionism.中国商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院研究员白明表示，中国作为世界第二大经济体，在抵制美国贸易保护主义方面走在了前列。"These countermeasures are not only to protect China's own interests, but also to safeguard the stable operation of the global trading system," he emphasized.“这些反制措施不仅是为了维护中国自身的利益，也是为了维护全球贸易体系的稳定运行。”他强调。The State Administration for Market Regulation, China's top market regulator, also announced on Friday night that it has launched an investigation into DuPont China, a subsidiary of the US company DuPont, for suspected monopolisticpractices in violation of China's Anti-Monopoly Law.中国国家市场监督管理总局周五晚间宣布，已对美国杜邦公司旗下的杜邦中国有限公司展开调查，理由是其涉嫌违反中国《反垄断法》的垄断行为。All of the moves came after China, a major trading partner of the US, was hit with a 34 percent so-called reciprocal tariff by the Trump administration on Wednesday, in addition to a 20 percent tariff imposed earlier this year.这一系列举措是在中国这一美国主要贸易伙伴遭到特朗普政府周三加征所谓34%的“对等关税”之后采取的，此前美国已在今年早些时候对中国加征了20%的关税。Further counterstrikes could include tightening export controls on more critical raw materials vital for US high-tech manufacturing, new energy transformation and defense projects, and further escalating the blocking of key technologies used in extracting and processing strategic minerals, said two sources close to the matter, who asked for anonymity.两位要求匿名的知情人士表示，进一步的反击措施可能包括加强对美国高科技制造、新能源转型和国防项目至关重要的原材料的出口管制，并进一步加大对战略矿产开采和加工关键技术的封锁。China accounts for at least 85 percent of rare earth refining, 77 percent of cobalt refining, 82 percent of tungsten production, 80 percent of antimony processing capacity, and 90 percent of the world's synthetic graphite production. These are all critical materials for defense, new energy batteries, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing.中国占全球稀土精炼产能的至少85%，钴精炼产能的77%，钨产量的82%，锑加工产能的80%，以及人造石墨产量的90%。这些都是国防、新能源电池、半导体和先进制造业的关键材料。Beyond nontariff measures, China could still adopt additional tariffs on certain US products, particularly agricultural goods. Having already imposed tariffs on key US farm products, China is weighing further increases, another source added.除了非关税措施外，中国还可能对某些美国产品，特别是农产品征收额外关税。另一位消息人士补充说，中国已经对美国主要农产品征收关税，并正在考虑进一步提高关税。Chen Wenling, former chief economist at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, said, "China could follow the cases of countries like Canada and levy tariffs on US products in a high range of 250 percent to 390 percent according to different situations."中国国际经济交流中心前首席经济学家陈文玲表示：“中国可以效仿加拿大等国家的做法，根据不同情况对美国产品征收250%至390%的高额关税。”The latest tariff from the Trump administration is provoking a strong global reaction.特朗普政府的最新关税政策引发了全球强烈反应。International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned that the sweeping tariffs presented "a significant risk to the global outlook at a time of sluggish growth".国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃警告称，在经济增长乏力的背景下，这种大规模关税举措“给全球前景带来重大风险”。Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organization, expressed deep concern on Thursday over the decline in global trade and the potential for an escalating tariff war sparked by US tariff measures. Iweala said in a statement that the US tariff measures will have "substantial implications for global trade and economic growth prospects".世界贸易组织总干事恩戈齐·奥孔乔-伊维拉周四对全球贸易下滑以及美国关税措施引发关税战升级的可能性表示深切担忧。伊维拉在一份声明中表示，美国关税措施将“对全球贸易和经济增长前景产生重大影响”。Michael Hart, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, has said that AmCham China is not in favor of widespread tariffs, and it advocates constructive dialogue and policy predictability to reduce volatility in trade relations.中国美国商会会长迈克尔·哈特表示，中国美国商会不赞成大规模征收关税，主张建设性对话和政策可预测性，以减少贸易关系的波动。Quoting a report from the chamber that more than half of its member companies said they plan to increase investments in China this year, he said that ensuring that businesses can operate competitively and with greater certainty benefits both countries' economies and supports global economic stability.他援引商会的一份报告称，超过一半的会员公司表示计划今年增加对华投资，他说，确保企业能够更具竞争力和确定性地运营，有利于两国经济，并支持全球经济稳定。Oliver Zipse, board chairman of BMW, said: "Economic growth thrives through opening, not closing. The increase of protectionist behavior will not create winners, but will result in a situation where everyone is going to lose prosperity. At BMW, we strongly oppose tariffs or other trade barriers."宝马集团董事长奥利弗·齐普策表示：“经济增长靠的是开放，而不是封闭。保护主义行为的增加不会创造赢家，而会导致所有人都失去繁荣。宝马坚决反对关税或其他贸易壁垒。”unilateraladj.单边的multi-prongedadj.多管齐下的tit-for-tat针锋相对monopolistic practicen.垄断行为trade barrier贸易壁垒

Colorado based artist and label head Austin Ash Lemon joins me on this week's Middle Class Rock Star. In our conversation, we chat about the origin story of his indie label, Needlejuice Records, as well as Lemon's brand new record, "Backstage" which is released under the artist name, The Odd Ditties. Quoting from Needlejuice Records' website: "Needlejuice Records is an independent record label specializing in strange alternative music. Formed in September 2017, our first release of King Gizzard's Polygondwanaland was a rousing success. We were certainly roused by it, at least. Ever dedicated to the tangible, we're known for making high quality vinyl records, cassette tapes, compact discs, 8-tracks, mini-discs, and if you can believe it, even wax cylinders, all with ambitious aesthetic value."

Going for the BOR is always the better option, but sometimes you just have to quote. If you go through a normal quoting process, be sure to get these three (3) things from the prospect.

Confidence: is it real, or just another corporate buzzword like “synergy” and “pivot”? It's about knowing your worth and standing by it. Lucy Gernon from Ireland is here to clear the fog. In this episode, she ditches the clichés and breaks down confidence as something deeper than borrowed quotes or fake-it-til-you-make-it bravado. Instead, she unpacks how true confidence is about trusting your own voice, owning your ideas, and realizing that you don't need a guru—just a little belief in yourself. Key Highlights of Our Interview: The Fire Within “I knew I was capable of more, but my inner critic kept me playing small. It wasn't until a personal tragedy shook me to my core that I decided to stop living for others and start chasing my dreams.” Building While Working “I started small, coaching evenings and weekends to test the waters. It wasn't glamorous, but it proved there was a demand. For over a year, I balanced corporate life with side hustle life, saving money, gaining testimonials, and upskilling wherever I could.” Lessons from the Mirror “Before starting my business, I leaned on big names and borrowed quotes. But a coach's nudge reminded me: I had my own frameworks, built on life experience. That realization turned the mirror back on me—and boosted my belief in what I bring to the table.” Confidence as a Gift “Confidence isn't about perfection or credentials. It's about understanding what you've built, what you've learned, and using that to enrich others' journeys. That's the real win.” _________________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Lucy Gernon --Chief Change Officer-- Outgrow Yourself.

Brandon talks about his company's impressive company growth, emphasizes the challenges of acquiring new customers amid a competitive freight market, alongside the importance of maintaining strong customer relationships, the technologies they're utilizing for tracking quotes and enhancing operational efficiency, and the future role of AI in the industry as a powerful complement to human relationships rather than a replacement!   About Brandon Bay As the Executive Vice President at Logistics Group International, Inc., I lead the company's strategic direction and technology efforts.

In manufacturing, speed matters—especially when it comes to quoting. If you can't turn around quotes quickly and accurately, your customers will move on to someone who can. But should you leverage AI, like ChatGPT, to make the quoting process easier?  In this episode of MakingChips, we're tackling a hot topic: the risks and limitations of using large language models for estimating and quoting.  Jason Ray, the co-founder and CEO of Paperless Parts, joins us to break down why these AI tools might not be the magic solution some shops hope for. From data security concerns to unpredictable costs and AI hallucinations that could lead to costly mistakes, we'll explain why trusting a general-purpose AI with your quoting process might be more of a liability than a benefit. Instead, we'll explore a smarter approach—one that enhances human expertise rather than replacing it. If you care about accuracy, efficiency, and protecting your customers' data, you don't want to miss this conversation. Because if you're not quoting quickly and accurately, you won't be winning business. And if you're not winning business, you're not MakingChips, and you're not making money. BAM.  Segments [0:27] Use Paperless Parts for your estimating and quoting needs [2:21] The bottlenecks we all face with quoting [10:24] Paperless Parts is razor-focused on estimating and quoting [12:48] Meet us at The MFG Meeting in San Antonio [14:53] Should you use an AI engine for quoting?

What does it take to create lasting change in an organization that is rooted in dignity, justice, and care? Too often, leadership and consulting focus on quick fixes instead of investing in deeper and necessary cultural shifts. Today, we explore how organizations can foster true transformation by embracing a more holistic approach and prioritizing what truly matters. Our guest, Ora Grodsky, is a mission-driven consultant and author of the new book Justice, Love, and Organizational Healing. With over 25 years of experience, she helps social justice organizations repair harm, strengthen leadership, and align with their values. Drawing from a unique background in acupuncture, nonprofit management, and organizational development, Ora brings a holistic, human-centered approach to change. In today's eye-opening conversation, Ora breaks down her approach to transformational consulting. She sees organizations as living systems where true change requires healing, connection, and cultural awareness. Quoting the Talmud, she reminds us: “You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” This belief guides her work, helping organizations move beyond surface-level fixes to deep, justice-driven transformation. She also explains how dominant cultural forces, including white supremacy, shape workplace dynamics and decision-making, before unpacking how organizations can begin to address and heal from these damaging patterns. By aligning values with action, she helps leaders create workplaces that don't just function but truly embody justice and care. Tune in for her powerful insights on how to build lasting, meaningful change together!   Key Points From This Episode: Ora's unique background ranging from acupuncture to nonprofit management. [02:40] Insights from a profound quote in the Talmud included Ora's book. [06:38] Ways that Ora's background in acupuncture has shaped how she consults.

You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” — Ora Grodsky [0:06:40] “That's how I see transformational consulting: [it means] creating spaces within which people can have the kind of process where they deeply connect to self, deeply connect to each other, and see a wider view of the system that they're in and how we got here.” — Ora Grodsky [0:16:51] “Only looking at the single bottom line of ‘Where's profit?' is what has gotten us to the verge of potential extinction with climate disaster; because we're looking for cheaper and faster. As long as we're [always] looking for cheaper and faster – we are not going to be here for too long.” — Ora Grodsky [0:19:26] “I believe in working with people at all levels of an organization, but I do believe, as the crass saying goes, a fish rots from the head.” — Ora Grodsky [0:24:19] “Urgency is really often something that comes with an attitude of dominance and subjugation, which I think is the root of white supremacy – the idea that some people deserve to ‘have' and deserve resources and deserve to be human, and some people don't.” — Ora Grodsky [0:28:36] “That dominance and subjugation ideology [at] the root of white supremacy is [often] what drives urgency: ‘We need to be better. We need to accumulate more. We need to do better, faster.' There's so much pressure – for everyone, that letting go of that urgency is really hard.” — Ora Grodsky [0:28:55]   Watch our Finding Brave episodes on YouTube!

In 1939, with the recent outbreak of war for Britain, King George VI sought in his Christmas Day radio broadcast to encourage citizens of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth to put their trust in God. Quoting a poem that his mother found precious, he said: “Go out into the darkness, and put your hand into the Hand of God. / That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way.” He didn’t know what the new year would bring, but he trusted God to “guide and uphold” them in the anxious days ahead. The image of God’s hand appears in many places in the Bible, including in the book of Isaiah. Through this prophet, God called His people to trust that He as their Creator, “the first and . . . the last” (Isaiah 48:12), remains involved with them. As he says, “My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens” (v. 13). They should put their trust in Him and not look to those less powerful. After all, He’s their “Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel” (v. 17). Whatever we face as we look toward the new year,* we can follow the encouragement of King George and the prophet Isaiah and place our hope and trust in God. Then, for us too, our peace will be like the river, our “well-being like the waves of the sea” (v. 18).
