Before walking onto a stage, there's always a certain amount of self-talk. For years, a colleague and I would encourage each other with a simple pep talk before a concert—something to sharpen our focus and concentration. Coaches do the same before athletic events. These moments are designed to build confidence, motivation, and clarity. Today's message is a kind of pep talk as well—a reminder to realign with what truly matters: our values, purpose, and the life we're intentionally creating. At halftime of life, we are often given a unique opportunity: the chance to reassess, realign, and intentionally create a next chapter based not on pressure or performance, but on purpose and values. This stage of life is not about starting over from zero. It is about building wisely from everything already accumulated—skills, experience, relationships, wisdom, resilience, and perspective.

In this message from Nehemiah, Pastor Andrew reminds us that drift happens when we stop paying attention to the condition of our hearts. Nehemiah 13 shows that rebuilding walls was easier than rebuilding people, and the same is true in our lives. Through humor, honesty, and Scripture, this message calls us to recognize sin, refocus on God's house, reset our finances, restore rest, reprioritize marriage, and rely fully on grace. Realignment does not come from trying harder, but from returning to Jesus, the center of grace, forgiveness, and lasting transformation.

Dick Morris and Doug Depierro discuss the projected long-term dominance of the Republican Party in American politics while arguing that conservative economic policies are driving a mass migration from high-tax "blue" states like California and New York to "red" states, a trend they believe will lead to a permanent shift in Congressional representation Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Matt Anderson and I discuss the rhetorical and political difficulties of maintaining a consistent pro-life position in a conservative political milieu divided on questions of IVF and recent court ruling related to abortion pill access. We then explore the strategic and tactical approaches the emerging wings of the pro-life movement are taking as distinct “reformer” and “radical” coalitions take shape and vie for influence. In particular, we consider the self-proclaimed “abolitionist” movement and its adoption of a more militant anti-abortion position, contrasting it to the “radical” and “reform” wings of the original abolitionist movement that sought to end slavery in Great Britain and United States.In some ways, this is a heavy conversation as it touches on an issue that Matt and I both care about, and some of the developments are deeply troubling to us, particularly as Christian advocates for the unborn. Still, there's cause for encouragement and even optimism as we look to the future.Subscribe to Tim Talks Politics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for the full show notes (30% off for podcast listeners)!

Welcome to 1968: The Year America Came Apart. This is an episode of "The Realignment" a Hidden History Series. There are years in history that feel less like ordinary time and more like a fault line. Years where the ground beneath a nation begins to shift and the people can feel it, they may not understand what they're feeling, but they know something is changing.. For America, 1968 was one of those years. The country had already been changing throughout the 1960s. The Civil Rights Movement had challenged the old order. The war in Vietnam was growing more divisive. Cities were struggling with poverty, race, and unrest. Young Americans were beginning to question institutions their parents had trusted without hesitation. But in 1968, all of those pressures collided. And for millions of Americans, it felt as though the country itself was coming apart. I remember that year well. I graduated from high school in Houston in the spring of 1968 and entered college that September. Even in Texas, far from Washington and Chicago, there was tension in the air. Conversations about race, war, protest, and authority were no longer distant news stories. They were part of daily life. America was rapidly changing. And not everyone agreed on what that change should look like. Vietnam and the Collapse of Trust The year began with war. In January of 1968, North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces launched what became known as the Tet Offensive. Militarily, the offensive was repelled. But politically and psychologically, it changed everything. For years, Americans had been told the war was being won. Tet suggested otherwise. Television screens suddenly filled with images of firefights in cities, American casualties, and chaos in places many Americans had never heard of before. The war no longer felt distant. It entered American living rooms every night. Trust in government began to erode. Even respected broadcaster Walter Cronkite publicly questioned whether the war could truly be won. For many Americans, confidence in leadership was beginning to collapse. Martin Luther King Jr. Then came April 4th. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. The murder shocked the nation. For years, King had stood as the moral voice of the Civil Rights Movement, preaching nonviolence, justice, and reconciliation. But his assassination unleashed grief, anger, and frustration across the country. Riots erupted in more than one hundred American cities. National Guard troops were deployed. Smoke rose above neighborhoods already struggling with poverty and racial division. For some Americans, the unrest confirmed fears that the country was descending into disorder. For others, the riots reflected generations of anger and inequality that had gone ignored for far too long. The divide between those perspectives would become politically important. Robert Kennedy and Lost Hope Two months later, tragedy struck again. Senator Robert F. Kennedy had emerged as a candidate who seemed capable of bridging some of America's growing divisions. He spoke openly about poverty, race, and the need to heal the country. His campaign attracted young people, minorities, working-class voters, and many Americans exhausted by the war. Then, on June 5th, moments after winning the California Democratic primary, Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles. Another national figure gone. Another sense of hope shattered. To many Americans, it felt as though violence and instability were becoming the defining language of the era. Protest and Disorder By the summer of 1968, protest movements were spreading across college campuses and major cities. Young Americans marched against the Vietnam War. Civil rights organizations demanded deeper reforms. Groups like the Black Panthers emerged in cities across the country, reflecting growing frustration among younger Black activists who believed nonviolence alone was no longer enough. At the same time, police departments and local governments often responded with increasing force and suspicion. The tensions could be felt even in places like Houston, where concerns about policing, activism, and racial conflict became part of the atmosphere surrounding college campuses and urban neighborhoods. Then came Chicago. During the Democratic National Convention in August, protesters flooded the streets while police battled demonstrators in scenes broadcast nationwide on live television. Americans watched officers swinging clubs, protesters bleeding in the streets, and crowds chanting: “The whole world is watching.” The Democratic Party itself appeared divided and exhausted. And millions of Americans watching from home saw chaos. George Wallace and the Politics of Backlash Into that atmosphere stepped George Wallace. Running as a third-party candidate, Wallace appealed to Americans who believed the country was moving too fast, changing too much, and losing control. His campaign focused on law and order, resistance to federal authority, opposition to unrest, and anger toward political elites. While Wallace's earlier political career had been deeply tied to segregation, by 1968 his campaign also tapped into a broader sense of cultural backlash and working-class frustration. And millions responded. Wallace carried five Southern states and won nearly ten million votes. His success revealed something both major political parties would increasingly recognize in the years ahead: A large portion of the American electorate felt alienated from the direction of the country. Nixon and the Realignment In the end, Richard Nixon won the presidency. Nixon promised stability. Order. An end to chaos. His victory represented more than a normal election. It marked the acceleration of a political realignment already underway since the Civil Rights era began reshaping American politics earlier in the decade. Southern voters were beginning to move away from the Democratic Party. Many suburban and working-class voters were becoming increasingly concerned about crime, protest movements, and cultural upheaval. Trust in institutions  government, media, universities was weakening. The coalitions that had dominated American politics since Franklin Roosevelt were beginning to fracture. And the consequences of that fracture would shape American politics for generations. Looking back now, 1968 feels like more than just a turbulent year. It feels like a turning point. A year when millions of Americans stopped believing the future would naturally bring unity and stability. The old political consensus was breaking apart. New coalitions were forming. And many of the arguments that still define American politics today, race, protest, policing, media, nationalism, cultural identity, distrust of institutions were becoming impossible to ignore. For those of us who lived through it, even as young people stepping into adulthood, the tension was real. You could feel it. And in many ways, America has been wrestling with the legacy of 1968 ever since.

WelcomeFest is known as the biggest annual gathering of the political center. Steve will appear on a panel titled, "Building Centrist Abundance." Marshall will interview Senator Ruben Gallego and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins on the center's lack of a broad story and worldview that can respond to an anti-status quo moment. Ahead of their appearances, Marshall and Steve discuss their problems with "moderation," an approach to politics associated with gatherings like WelcomeFest. While defending moderation as a personality and instinct, they differentiate between "higher" and "lower" forms of moderation and offer alternative approaches for politicians, organizations, and movements associated with the idea.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid open Episode 27 with Q post 916, "saving Israel for last," and make the case it is actively unfolding right now. Netanyahu is weaning off US funding, defying Trump at every turn, and European countries are rushing to fill the void. Then the guys break down Trump's deliberate discombobulation strategy as a form of AI data warfare, explaining why his contradictory posts are not chaos but a calculated operation to corrupt the enemy's predictive models. Tulsi Gabbard is set to leave the DNI on June 30 with a mass declassification that could trigger a national emergency on election integrity. Iran's nuclear dust, Venezuela's uranium seizure, and Uranium One start connecting in ways that point back to very familiar names. And July 4 is shaping up to be the symbolic starting gun for everything the community has been waiting for.

Dave Spencer and Kurt Bardella are joined by political strategist Mike Madrid for a special episode breaking down Latino voter shifts, the growing volatility in Texas and California politics, and why both parties are struggling to connect with frustrated voters heading into the midterms. In this episode, the group discusses whether Texas is becoming more competitive than Republicans want to admit, how tariffs and rising costs are reshaping Latino voter sentiment, and why Mike Madrid believes both parties are struggling to understand where voters are politically right now. They also discuss Ken Paxton's political rise, whether James Talarico could emerge as a serious statewide Democratic contender, and how Trump may have damaged Republican momentum with working-class Latino voters. The conversation then turns to California politics, including the governor's race, Gavin Newsom's political future, and whether Democrats are struggling to define what the party stands for beyond opposition to Trump. Mike Madrid also explains why populism continues reshaping American politics and why he believes the country's political realignment is far from over. 1:26 Welcome to the Practically Political Podcast – Special Episode 2:14 Mike Madrid on Why Texas Is Back in Play 5:29 Latino Voters, Tariffs, and Trump's Economic Problem 16:13 James Talarico and the Texas Senate Race 19:24 California's Governor Race and the Democratic Identity Crisis 25:37 Gavin Newsom, California, and the Democratic Future Practically Political releases new episodes weekly.

It was a strange spring and summer in 2016, as the Big 12 basically put on realignment tryouts for a long list of schools including several (BYU, UCF, Houston, and Cincinnati) who did get into the conference — but not until years later, when others dominoes had fallen. Let's revisit the summer of realignment that wasn't, and then let's think about how it changed the next decade of college football.In this episode:* 0:00: Why the realignment fashion show became so public* 8:10: The now-quaint factors that drove realignment decisions back then* 12:28: The candidate pool, including Houston and Cincinnati's very different campaigns, BYU's many complications, UCF before the Scott Frost/Josh Heupel run, and SMU before it became an ACC playoff team* 32:02: Why the process came down to BYU, Cincinnati, and Houston. (Also, why the Big 12 was genuinely scared of Houston)* 43:48: Counterfactuals: whether earlier expansion would have changed Texas and Oklahoma's exit, the Pac-12's collapse, or the expanded playoff's politics around non-power teams* 56:08: The afterlife of the public audition, from Memphis and Sacramento State to the next round of conference-movement anxiety.Everyone can hear a free preview of this episodeTo get the whole thing, become a paid subscriber today.

"Leftwing" and "Rightwing" don't mean the same thing anymore–the battle lines are redrawing. The twentieth century was about economics: low taxes or big government. The twenty-first century will be a fight over something else. Historian and political theorist Stephen Davies joins to discuss his book "The Great Realignment" and the reshaping Western politics, and the collapse of the old left-right order.

In this episode of Dean's Chat, Drs. Jeffrey Jensen and Johanna Richey welcome Dr. Naomi Schmid for an open and personal conversation about medicine, burnout, coaching, and finding alignment in both career and life. Dr. Schmid shares her journey into podiatric medicine after discovering the profession during a gap year following college, and reflects on how meaningful patient relationships became a defining theme throughout her career. The discussion also highlights the influence of mentorship in shaping generations of podiatrists across decades of training.The heart of the episode centers on Dr. Schmid's transition into physician coaching after experiencing overwhelm herself while balancing clinical practice, leadership responsibilities, and family life. She candidly describes the moment she realized she needed support and how working with a coach transformed her perspective on success, fulfillment, and personal well-being. Together, we explore themes that resonate deeply within medicine: people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, work-life alignment, and the pressure many physicians feel to constantly achieve more while neglecting themselves in the process.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Schmid discusses how coaching helps physicians reconnect with their core values, identify what truly brings them joy, and make small but meaningful shifts that create lasting change. The group reflects on how external definitions of success can leave even highly accomplished professionals feeling unfulfilled, and why self-awareness, boundaries, and intentional decision-making are critical for sustainability in medicine. The episode also dives into differences in how men and women often experience medicine, leadership, and self-expectation, touching on topics like imposter syndrome, societal conditioning, and the challenge of saying “no.” Dr. Schmid emphasizes that coaching is not about “blowing up your life,” but rather making thoughtful, aligned changes that help physicians build careers and lives they genuinely enjoy.Blending humor, vulnerability, and practical wisdom, this episode offers an honest look at the realities of modern medical practice while reminding listeners that meaningful growth often begins with small shifts, self-reflection, and the willingness to ask for support. We hope you enjoy!Website: naomischmid.comLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-schmid-dpmFacebook: Dr. Naomi Schmid CoachingInstagram: drnaomischmidcoaching

A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring]In this outstanding and thought-provoking episode of the Watchman Report, we delve into a major geopolitical shift that is quietly reshaping the world order: Europe's move towards strategic independence from America. As headlines from February 2026 report that European leaders are preparing for a future without the US as its ultimate security guarantor, we ask the question—what does this mean for the student of Bible prophecy?This is an insightful and revealing exposition of Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 17, exploring how current events are aligning with the prophetic stage. We examine the ancient nations of Magog, Meshech, Tubal, and Gomer, using the historical writings of Josephus to identify them with modern-day Russia and Europe. The video lays out a wonderful, scriptural framework showing how a Russian-led European confederacy is set to emerge in the latter days, standing apart from the Anglo-Saxon maritime powers of Tarshish (Britain) and her young lions (the United States).Join us for this inspirational study as we connect the dots between today's headlines and the sure word of prophecy, pointing towards the ultimate intervention of God and the establishment of His Kingdom.*Chapters:*00:00 - Introduction: The Shifting Alliances in Europe01:52 - News Headlines: Europe Prepares for Life Without US Backing03:26 - The Prophetic Significance: Ezekiel 38 and the Latter Days04:55 - Identifying the Nations: Josephus and the Scythians07:00 - The Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal: The Russian Connection08:39 - Gomer and his Bands: Identifying Western Europe09:52 - Revelation 17: The Ten Kings and European Unity11:25 - The Merchants of Tarshish: Britain, America, and the Young Lions13:28 - The Direction of Travel: Setting the Stage for Prophecy15:05 - Conclusion: Moving Towards God's Kingdom*Bible Verses Referenced:*

Summit 2026 was all about scaling leadership and growing profit in your dental practice, and Kiera and Tiff are here to revisit the highlights. They discuss understanding where your time goes, what it looks like when you need a priority realignment, controlling reasons versus the results, implementing the yes model, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and today is a really exciting day. I got the one and only Spiffy Tiffy on the podcast with me and we're here to do a really exciting podcast. Tiff, how you doing over there today? Excited?   Tiff (00:12) Hi, I'm so excited. We have not podcasted in far too long. Like our schedule's just, it's hard. It's weird because we never see each other. So it's super weird. I know.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:19) I know, but we did just see each other in person, was   honestly the reason we're podcasting today. But did you miss a little bit? I mean, I had thought during that time where we were testing all the sound forever that we should just bust it out and podcast right then and there. Like, let's just do it.   Tiff (00:38) my gosh. Well, last   year at that same time, we busted it out and we did a podcast on the mountains. So it would have been effective, but instead we had a dance party and karaoke.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:43) I know. I know.   We did. And what we're referring to is if you missed summit 2026 with the Dental A Team, you missed out. Tiff and I got together in person, which was a blast. Like I said, Tiff and I used to hang out all the time and Tiff, think like the future life of you and me, that sounds funny. I think that's almost a TV show. I think we need to just like schedule in where we hang out more, not for work. Like I'm coming to Arizona soon. You came out to Reno. We got to just hang out. So, but yeah, we just, were together in person for summit 2026 and   This year's theme and topic was scaling leadership and growing profit in your dental practice. And I think, we just had a good time. what we were alluding to was, ⁓ luckily, I don't think people know, but the day before summit, Tiff and I sat there for what? Eight, nine hours trying to get the cameras and the audio. I have done this. That was summit number six. So Sexy Six is what we did. Tiff, we've done them six together. Like that's a pretty incredible, incredible run.   Tiff (01:37) Yes.   That's wild.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (01:48) but Tiff and I literally sat there. If you saw the reel on Insta, Tiff and I were sitting there doing karaoke. We were dancing. We were doing a talent show like cartwheels, backwards somersaults, handstands, headstands, things that I don't think either of us had done since we were probably like 15. But you know, Tiff, we didn't get to experience that part of life together. So we had to bust that out together. Right.   Tiff (02:08) True. That's fair, that's fair. That was a good assessment,   Kiera Good assessment.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (02:13) Well, it was a really fun time. And I think Tiff, it just reminded me of why I doing this with you. ⁓ I think when we get in person, there's just magic. And so when we put together the summit, I think something people don't really realize is Tiff and I, we don't practice. Like we've got our decks and we've reviewed it, but a lot of the magic just happens because we love helping people. love changing lives. I love watching Tiff in real time do half of my like crazy experiments. Like it's been since the beginning of time that I'm like, all right, Tiff.   I'm not going to tell you in real time, you're going to do this. And I think that that's what makes Summit so special is it's, it's you and me, Tiff, doing it in real time. And the consultants are on the chat, like she definitely carried us quite a bit this year, but we kind of, for those of you who might've missed or those of you who did join, Tiffanie kind of wanted to just do a little highlight reel of some of the key takeaways from Summit that we were able to have. And Tiff, think like probably my favorite part is always the beginning part. ⁓   Tiff (02:54) I'm tired.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (03:09) I mean, it's probably because it's the beginning part. And we talked a lot about how like your business can't outgrow your leadership. And we talked so much about this leadership and Tiff, I know leadership is such a passion for you. within that leadership realm, we talked so much about how like you as a person are the most important piece. And I think a lot of people forget that. And I think that that sometimes like driving home piece of summit that I love to highlight. I know you love to highlight, let's kind of rift on that beginning part, the you part, the leadership part, all of that in that yes success formula that we've.   We talked heavily about at summit this year.   Tiff (03:40) Yeah, and I think, Carrie, you said something there. You said, I love leadership. And immediately, I thought, I do love leadership, but I love leadership because leadership focuses so heavily on the actual person, who they are, how they show up, and how they create the culture that everybody wants to be a part of. So when you say, I love leadership, and then you let it in too, and then them. That's why I love leadership, and that's why I love working with leaders and CEOs. So a CEO dentist and then.   the leaders of the practice, but really those leaders come down to people who are inspired by growth, who are ready to take on the next level and who want to give something back to the world. And for me, inspiring those people, like double, triple, quadruple is the impact that we get to make. So that's why it's so cool to me. And so doing things like Summit where we do, like we do open up with who you are because you are the focus that   is required in order for anything else to work. so, yeah, leadership is a passion because people are a passion and I think both of us feel that way.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (04:47) Absolutely. Like we've said so many times, like life and people are our passion. Dentistry just happens to be the platform where we get to connect with all of you. And Tiff, as you said, that it really made me start thinking about like, what do you spend your time on? And I loved the little, this year we did an hourglass and Tiff, was fun for you to build the hourglass, right? Like where do we actually spend our time? I think it's something where so often as we're running and we're living our lives, we don't take the pause moment to see like,   I can say my family and my health and my business are the most important thing, but when I look at my calendar, when I look at these items, where is it really? And I actually loved the image of an hourglass because ⁓ maybe it was the birthday this year, Tiff, but like there was a moment this year where I was like, I could be halfway done with my life. And so in the hourglass, I feel like it's our time and it's, is it slipping away into the things that we value most? Is it slipping away into the things that we care about the most?   Is it slipping away to where I am, my 90 year old granny with cotton candy pink hair, who's freaking ripped Tiff. There's like another version of her that's come to the forefront. Like I gotta be ripped and like able to move. I can't just be like dead. Like that's been a new element added into this vision at the Villa. ⁓ But like, what is she gonna remember about this time of her life? And what would she wish that she prioritized more? And I think so often we can get stuck in this like the day, the urgent, the chaos. And I love that and Tiff,   This is a fun thing. had you go and build your little sand piece and build your hourglass. What were some of your thoughts like when you did that and doing it in real time and having offices do it in real time with us?   Tiff (06:22) Yeah, I think ⁓ first an hourglass always makes me think of ⁓ Aladdin. I think of Jasmine, right? And so when I think of the hourglass, I think of, yes, like, where am I spending my time and how much time is slipping by? But then I also think of the other side of that, where we're oftentimes consumed by our time. And so I think of Jasmine, like, and I hope everyone here knows the reference that I'm going for here, because I don't have a picture of it.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (06:28) Mm.   Mm.   Yeah, she's like trying to crawl out of that   stand. It's like suffocating her.   Tiff (06:50) Yeah, she's like in the sand   and it's suffocating her, right? So it's like falling on top of her. And that was what I went into that project with that day because I see an hourglass that's just my millennial mind thinks of Jasmine suffocating by the sand. And so for me, I went into it of like, what is suffocating me? Meaning what is taking my time that I'm not intentionally maybe devoting the time to? But I'm like,   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (07:02) .   Tiff (07:17) just letting it, like you said, slip by. And so I went into it with that kind of mind frame and it was really cool. We did it last year too and last year's was a little bit different and last year I forgot to put work on there. This year I did not. It was a fun exercise.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (07:29) It's okay, Tim. It was, I think you had to   block it out. Last year's work was crazy. I think it was like an immediate, like, I need to cut this out of my world, which is fair. And based on the year we lived, I don't blame you. So it felt good that it didn't monopolize. It wasn't home. Like, it's got to just go. We got to, and I don't blame you. It was year for us, for sure.   Tiff (07:40) I agree. It was like an omen.   Yeah,   yeah. But it made it, honestly, it made it intentional. Because no matter what it looks like, no matter how you do this exercise, it brings something to the surface. So last year, it brought that to the surface for me, where I was like, wow, that's wild. Like, why did that happen? Because I didn't intentionally leave it off. I didn't intentionally put it on there. So I don't ever go into it to try to do it right. I go into it to just try to do it.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (08:15) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.   Tiff (08:15) And especially with your boss standing next to you, like, was like, well, shoot,   cares like you got something to tell me, then tell me. But it was, it brought something to light. And this year felt much calmer doing it. It felt much more ⁓ intentional, I guess, is like the best word I can align. think aligned is my word this year. And so it did feel more aligned and like, there was more intentionality put behind things. And the point of that is wherever you are today is where you are. And being able to see.   where you want to spend time and what your priorities are, is your time spent in alignment with what you say your priorities are? And I love that you always explain, it doesn't mean that it's gonna be equal parts, right? Work, like I work more hours during the day, four and a half days a week, than I do like awake with my family, right? But the...   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (09:11) Mm-hmm.   Tiff (09:12) intentionality behind it of how it's not like to me when I go into that it's not the actual physical hours that I'm spending in those things it's the emotional time I guess the emotional you you know your your what is it that you call it then ROI on your time right are your emotions emotional easy there you go are we thank you I was like is it really that easy emotional ROI that's fine guys so I'm here for it thank you yeah   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (09:23) Mm-hmm.   the emotional ROI, like the ROE, return on emotion. Yeah, I got you girl. Mm-hmm. No, it's ROE, return on emotion, right? You're welcome,   I got you. Yeah, I...   Tiff (09:41) Yeah, so anyways,   that's what it's spun for me. it really highlights a lot, I think, for business owners and for leaders to really see if I'm showing up short, if I'm showing up, you know, chaotic, if I'm showing up calm and like, why, where are my priorities lining and how can I realign?   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (10:00) And Tiff, I love that you said that. And I love like we do, we do a different variation of it. This is something I really like because I feel we don't take that pause moment. Like to me, it's like the, the small space between like taking a breath and releasing a breath. Like there's that small pause. I feel like that small pause is where so much intentionality can happen. so Tiff, thanks for always being my guinea pig. Like it makes it feel like more fun for me because I, I know that Tiff, come into it so real and people that attend summit. So if you don't know about summit Tiff and I do it.   completely virtual. And the reason we've done it virtual, people have asked for years, like, why don't you guys do it in person? And what we found is we want doctors and teams to come together in your office space. Like what is the easiest fastest way for us to rally to impact you? We don't care if your husband or your kids or your wife or your spouse or whomever it is, is with you in that space. Like how fun is it? Like we see families with their kiddos. We see people in their homes. We see   We see you guys living your real lives. And so that's why we've done it virtual. We've done it virtual for six years and it's four hours. It's three and a half hours of CE and it's incredible. It's always the last Friday of April. So you guys can mark your calendars for 2027. I cannot believe that. It'll be the seventh year. I had to remember, I had to remember it's, sorry, it's the second to last Friday. It will be April 23rd next year. But...   Tiff (11:09) I said that earlier.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (11:17) We always do it the same weekend and we purposely do it where it's not the very beginning of the year. It's not the end of the year. It's that like special pause and like, let's look to see. And the whole point this year that we really try to bring in with you, cause like we focus there because I think people want like, what are the systems? What are the tactics? What's the profit? How do I do all these pieces? And we're like, if you pause and look and make sure that where you're putting your ladder and wanting to hang your shingle, is that really where you want your life to be? Because we can be a few degrees off as we're flying our life plane and we can end up in.   Bermuda or we can end up in Antarctica and I've been to both and they're very radically different locations and so it's are you actually headed where you want to go and this year I really brought up ⁓ a Topic that I'm obsessed with and it's like you are the billion dollar asset and if you don't see yourself as a billion dollar asset I think we're looking at our lives wrong and like you are the one who ultimately controls your success and happiness You are the one who has success and failure and you control that in your office   You are the one who controls where you spend your time. No one's forcing you to do anything. Like we are so blessed to live in the country we live in, the places that we live that we get to make these choices. You control the reasons or the results. And I love that line. You control the reasons or the results. You can't have both. And to really just help people see like, I having reasons for my lack of success or my abundance of success? Or am I actually having the results of what I say I truly want? And if I'm saying I want that,   but my actions aren't showing that either I need to change my plan and figure out what I actually want or I need to change my plan to get what I actually want. And so ⁓ one of my favorite lines from all of summit was you must prioritize you first or you will always fail. There is no other way to success. Stop all the excuses, start owning the outcomes. And I think for all of us today listening whether this is a summit recap for you or you're getting the highlight sizzle reel for you.   I hope that today you recognize that you've got to prioritize you first. And it's so easy Tiff, because I feel like I had this epiphany probably before I even met you, I think. I was like, life is so fascinating to me because there's so many things that scream and grab my attention that I feel are so important. But when I take that pause, that breath, half of that doesn't actually matter. And I'm just in the momentum and the slurry and I need to be intentional with how I build my life.   I don't know, maybe I'm going off on a tangent. I know this is something you and I love and I hope for doctors and teams listening today. I hope you can take that pause. I hope you can see that you are the billion dollar asset. I hope you can see like Tiff said, like, are we being suffocated by our time or are we watching our time slip into the areas that we hope it is? Where are we spending our time? We had a bunch of categories of time, but really like stop the excuses or owning the outcomes of what you want because you are ultimately the one who controls all of the success or failure in your life.   Tiff (14:04) Yeah, I agree.   And I think the reason that it's so imperatively important is because then we talk about earnings and then we talk about systems, right? We have our whole model and I can't, you can't talk about earnings, you can, but they're not gonna hit home as much if you don't have like you in alignment or at least reality. I think if you can spread at least reality and just be.   clear on who you are, how you're showing up and how you want to show up, then the earnings come, then those pieces come. So the profitability and all of those pieces that we talk about in our next little highlight reel here, they fall after that because again, like you are the reason that any of this exists. And if you're not in alignment with that, none of the other things are going to happen.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (14:53) 100 % and tiff, it's wild. Do you remember how many times we tried like an alliteration, a little like, what is deadly teams methodology? Remember the SPF one? Like I think that was one of like the funniest ones that like we had some ones and it just landed and locked one day when it was the yes model. Like it's the yes success model and it's you earning systems. And when I first put it together, I thought it was cute and it's crazy because subconsciously we put it in the exact order it needs to go in.   Tiff (15:02) You do?   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (15:20) for to truly be able to say yes to your dream life. Like you've got to focus on you. Then you focus on the earnings and then the systems will be what those two tell us. And it's like to me, the yes, excess are like your three numbers on a combination lock. And I feel like so many people try to be like earnings, Y like you. So it's E Y S like, okay, well that's well eyes like ish like that could be your combination, but you're never going to feel fulfilled. You're not going to be able to say yes. You're going to say eyes or I can be like, well let's do systems and then earnings and then yes.   or like you, well that says say, so are you gonna say, say your life away? Or are gonna say yes to the life you actually want? And it's been fascinating, because I think the more we coach on it, the more we teach it, it was something that came out of, I just thought it was a cute acronym, but the undertone of the subconscious of knowing that you've gotta be prioritized first, then you've gotta do your earnings, and then you gotta do your systems. And so if you're like, let's build systems, and I'm like, well, if you're not profitable, the whole thing's gonna crash down and burn. If you don't take care of you,   the whole thing's gonna crash down and burn. Like it literally is a sequence and an order. like the pinnacle peak of everything that we talk about, everything leads up to a saying like success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. And I think to everything we talked about at the beginning of this podcast, coming into here, like I think that's my like hill to die on is if we are successful in our marriages, but we're not fulfilled. we're successful in our businesses, but we're not fulfilled. If we're successful like...   That fulfillment piece is joy. That's the happiness. Like that is the juice. That's the squeeze of what we're all working for. But I think we prioritize the success, the money, the earnings, the status, the elite. Like you can have it all, but just make sure you're fulfilled and you're taking care of you. And it's really the life you want to live, not the one you think you should live or the one that you just happen to fall into or the one that the patterns got us into. But you actually own your life rather than just manage it.   Tiff (17:10) I agree. I have been a firm believer that if I'm not taken care of or if I'm not happy, down to the choices that I make in my personal life when it comes to Brodie and his happiness, I have always said, if mom's happy, Brodie's happy. If I'm taken care of, and that's the CEO of our family, if I'm taken care of and I'm a priority, I'm then teaching everyone else to do the same and all those other pieces come into place and for the practice.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (17:30) Mm-hmm.   Tiff (17:39) Every doctor comes in and says, need systems. And we do cover systems. We've a ton of systems in Summit. We cover all of them. But we also are a firm believer, a company that believes that those systems have to be in alignment with your culture, with who you are and what your goals are. So we have systems for everything. But we're going to tailor it and customize it to fit you and your circumstances. And if we're not super clear on who you are, what your goals are, your culture,   We're gonna hit that home real hard first and then figure out your systems, because you have systems and they're working to an extent. We just gotta clean them up a little bit and they're probably a little misaligned with who you are, who you want to be.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (18:23) Exactly. And Tiff, I love that. Like the CEO of the family, the CEO of this, like, and really like, yes, take care of you. Have that. That way you've got a full bucket to come from. So yes, we did go through after that the earnings portions. We talked about overhead, profitability, cashflow, like what are those items? We have a cost spending spreadsheet and you better believe we had an entire stack that people at the end of some were able to access. And it had so many spreadsheets, our overhead calculator,   like what is profitability? What is like true profit? What is cashflow? How do we find those small money links leaks in our practice? So like talking about different ways, like where are the small gaps in your bucket? Where if you just shore those up, there's so like, it is the lowest hanging fruit that are just the aha moments that people are not thinking about. And I love doing it because it's like, ⁓ like that's such a great idea. That was so easy that I didn't even think about. And of course I get like all jazzed on life doing the earnings section because like I   love numbers and numbers of me. Like I live to teach people how to be profitable and how to understand numbers and learning that business acumen knowledge. I feel like it's been another language that if you've watched me even over the years, like both of us growing and evolving and I was the girl who sat in a class that truly was like everyone else has business figured out, but not me. And I think so many dentists and so many owners can relate to that phrase of like, why not a drill a tooth, like PNL, KPI, like what the heck are those?   And to be able to break it down, think one of my favorite, favorite compliments of Dental A Team is like, we are the Dr. Seuss of systems. We make things so simple for people. And I've like hung onto that because if we can make numbers so simple for you, like think Dr. Seuss style, how much easier is it for you to go in and to be confident looking at your numbers, to be a competent CEO that uses those numbers rather than emotion.   to really get to the life and the dream you want. So tip, those are like some of my highlights. Those are some of the fun things. And then of course, you're like rolled right into systems, but I didn't know if there was anything on the earnings section before I roll into like systems, because the sexy systems are always a good time, but anything on earnings you wanted to add to that.   Tiff (20:25) Yeah.   I just wanted to let everybody know like the after summit, the number of text messages and emails and just like messages I know that we all receive, but that I personally received from my own clients that I work one-on-one with it or their attending summit that were like, I know we've heard this before because you guys talk about it all the time, but something hit different today and I'm so excited. Like I had   a call with ⁓ a client actually that morning and he was trying to go through it and he was just confused and he just doing, was like overworking it and overthinking it. And I was able to be like, cool. And then he, he watched it, you know, he, learned it and I made sure he had all the tools he needed in that moment. And he's like, my gosh, I was overcomplicating it. Like the way you do it is so much more simple than I was making it. And that's like, you said that Dr. Seuss, right? But even like that's a system.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (21:15) Nyeh.   Tiff (21:24) So we talk about systems and we're gonna talk about systems, but that in itself is a system really learning how to read your numbers, figure it out and simplify what you're looking at because it doesn't take a doctorate to look at those things. And sometimes we think it does. So we apply our doctorate to it and we overcomplicate it. So I just wanted to make sure everyone knew like the amount of information or the amount of people that are like.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (21:25) Thank   Tiff (21:51) Thank you so much because this was so helpful. And for whatever reason today, I heard it differently. That's why we repeat things too is like how many times have we gone to a convention or listen to the same podcast and we're like, gosh, today I heard it with different ears and I got something else out of it. And that's why we have repeatable systems and why we have those kinds of conversations. Cause something different will come out every time.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (21:53) Yeah.   100 % Tiff. And as you said that, think there's like, there's a quote, I might be tootin' my own horn. I think I actually made this one up. so if I did great, and if I took it from someone, I'm really sorry, and it's actually yours. But it was like, sometimes the greatest form of learning is remembering what we already know. And I think so many times we come to these conferences, we go to these things, it's like, I've already heard that. And it's like, but you haven't, because you are at a different location of where your business is, of where you are, to where it's gonna land differently. And so I agree with you, Tiff.   Systems were fun and we went through like some of our favorites of like case exceptions and block scheduling. But I think what I really loved was we actually like then broke down into like, what is it like to be a CEO dentist and the delegation ladder and like helping people. And then like at the top of the delegation ladder, how we like split leadership into an executive side and an operational management side and helping Dr. C. And we actually did this in our like internal private mastermind group that we work with our clients and so many of the doctors, love that. Like kudos to Tiff. She was one who has the brains behind this topic.   of let's talk about delegation. And when doctors look at their like list of things that they've got going on, when they listed everything off and then they went back and like looked to say, what really can only you do? It was two things. It was vision culture and you might throw profitability on there, like pending upon how your team is, but that's it. And like, tip, I freaking love that epiphany for doctors. I love that epiphany for OMS because when you got like the two halves of a whole like doctors, we need your vision. need that execution. need that culture. And OMS are like, and then give me the to-dos and like, let me GSD over here and to help like,   both of you in the same room, see how this applies to both of you and where your sweet spots are. To me, that was one of my absolute highlights. And then like a leadership evolution where how you evolve through that were truly some of my faves. But Tiff, maybe you had something else, because I know you love that part too.   Tiff (23:56) I agree.   I do. I think it was interesting the way that we laid it all out because we did do systems. We did implementable systems. We always do that you can walk away with. We talked about our 12 systems. We will always deliver those. But the reality of, I think, the biggest part of the systems is what you just said, that delegation ladder, because we have all of these systems. But you're not the only one who can do them, by the way. And you're not the only one.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (24:24) you   Tiff (24:26) You're not the one who has to do them. so learning systems is one thing, but then learning how to foster the systems and like delegate them out and hold someone accountable to doing the system is a fully different kind of system. Like that's why when people come to us and they're like, girl, I just need systems. I'm like, everything is a system. You're just not seeing it from that lens and you're trying to do too much. So what part of the system or what   part of the experience for that patient, do you not have to do 100 % of? If they can do 80 % of it, you can do 20, if they can do 90, you can do 10. Like they make songs about this and we apply it to like romantic relationships, but every interaction we have, every relationship that we have, they work the same. It's a give and a take. And if you're taking more than you're giving and there's never like this back and forth or this equality in the middle,   you're doing them a disservice because they can't grow and you're doing yourself a disservice because you're limiting your own growth. And so when you can see that within the system, see the part that each person plays for those systems and divvy out those responsibilities, that's where the growth is.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (25:41) Exactly. And I think it was just fun because like what Tiff and I do is we talk about like the yes model and then like, how do you actually implement it? And like getting into the nitty gritties of how do you do this? And like Tiff said, like splitting it and how do we actually elevate each other and help each other be our best? And then we talk about winning teams and we pulled in Patrick Lanziani's five dysfunctions of teams and then like the extraordinary success formula and then case studies of like the good leadership and the bad leadership and like things we've seen from consulting like   literally hundreds and thousands of offices. And to me, it's really fun because we like put a pretty bow on it and we wrap it all up and we have this entire awesome stack of like all the spreadsheets and all the pieces. But I think for me, it's a like, all the content every single year is revamped. It's it's built upon it's different ways to present it to you. But what I always hope is like, realizing that the people around you are on the boat to success. And are you going to sit on your own isolated   little island over there, like crying your eyes out because you're lonely. Or are you going to get on the boat to success with like-minded people like you that are going to grow you, that are going to push you, that are going to be a group? like, yeah, there was a surprise. We invited people to our in-person mastermind. And if you're interested in any of these things of like the tech stack or coming into those different pieces or joining us in our masterminds, like please reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com and hey, maybe I'll get lucky. Maybe I'll share a spreadsheet or two. ⁓   Tiff (26:39) You   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (27:07) But more than that, I hope that you decide that you're the billion dollar asset. Let me be around people like this. If you didn't attend summit, put it on your calendar next year. Be sure that you're on that. And then if you're like, gosh, like everything you talked about you and like putting myself first and like helping a vision and relaying that to my team, because what Tiff and I are obsessed about and why we built this company was we got so tired of doctors trying to relate to teams and teams trying to relate to doctors. That's why it's literally called Dental A team. It's dentists and teams and both sides of that coin, bringing that together and helping all of you.   Realize like how we succeed in our own individual roles, how we succeed together, helping doctors take your own incredible life and translate that into a vision your team can rally. What your numbers tell you, what your systems tell you, all of that. And that's something that I really freaking love. And Tiff, summer was just magical. It was a magical time this year. And that's kind of my rap, but I guarantee you got a rap then. I hope people just loved it. I hope they choose to be on the boat to success and not be left on their own Island. You don't have to be alone.   You don't have to be alone in your problems, but it's time to like own it, stop the excuses and either have reasons or have results. You can't have both. That's my wrap Tiff. What's your wrap? Anything you want to add to that?   Tiff (28:14) Yeah, the community piece, just wrapped it. That last piece that you just talked about is the piece that we get the biggest feedback on, if I'm honest with you. Yeah, we are incredible. I'm going to be honest with you. We are a really cool freaking company and we produce some amazing results. I have heard from so many people, from so many other companies that they say, you guys are different because you're actual   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (28:27) We are.   Tiff (28:40) consultants and you're not just trainers, like individual trainers. So I know without a shadow of a doubt that we do it differently. So I can toot that horn all day long because I know that we are really good at what we do. What is incredible to add on top of that, like the sprinkles that are on top of that is that we allow our clients to be this tight knit community. So not only are we working with you one-on-one and producing results for your practice, we're individualizing   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (28:49) Yep.   Tiff (29:09) all of the things that we do for you, but we're allowing you to share that then with other people. Like everyone loves it. Like I've never sat in a room where I felt so welcome and so heard and so seen and so normalized. Like it's not, hey doctor, hey doctor, hey doctor. It's like first name basis. It's you're just a human just like I am. And we can sit here together and we can collaborate. And I think that even on a virtual platform is incredible that we've been able to create that and foster that.   but even more the in-person events and our in-person visits that we go to practices, all of those pieces. And that's my wrap. Like the community is massive.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (29:50) It is. What do we talk about? We talked about like you are the culmination of the top five people that you hang and spend time with. And I've thought like, is it time for me to elevate my friend group and my peer group? That's why I joined Tony Robbins Lions. Like I needed people that were smarter than me. I didn't want to be the smartest one in the room. I want people I could give back to. And I think Tiff, you and I have taken our passion, our love for people, our passion, our love for life.   the things that we've learned throughout life and we're able to turn it into this really fun thing to help dentists freaking succeed and thrive and not just survive. And so this year I thought it was really fun to help doctors and team members elevate their leadership, elevate their profitability. So if you missed it, I'm not gonna lie to you, you freaking missed out. Tiff and I have a good time. We laugh hysterically. It's all live. It's real time. Some of the things we say shock both of us, but hey, it's here for it.   It's engaging with people, even though it's virtual, like we see all your faces. We've done Tony Robbins, like I, we make this thing a whole production. It is lit. So come join us next year. And if you missed out this year and you want to get like, find out more, you want to come join us in September in our in-person mastermind or February, you want to elevate your peer group. You're sick of being stuck. You're sick of being where you've been. You're ready for the next level. Or if you're like, I just want to optimize or like, Hey, I'm drowning. It doesn't matter. That boat is going. Let's get you on it. Come join us. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com book a call.   I will happily love to see you. team would love to see you. Tiff, I love you. I love working with you. I love creating magic with you. I love creating summit with you. And I'm just so thankful for your sparkle, for your love, because I feed off of that. And I think you and I together, like you said, we built a really freaking cool company and we're like kick a in the industry. We know what we're doing. We're experts at what we do. And we do it for dentists and we do it for teams and we make your life incredible. so Tiff, thanks for just like many, many years ago, believing in a vision and making it into what it is today.   Tiff (31:40) Thank you. Thank you for believing in me that I could do this with you. I love you. I love this company. I love what we create and gosh, I love all of our listeners like our clients. I love you and our future clients and those of you who will always be a listener. We're here for you. We're here for all of you guys and we truly do love what we do and when you're ready for that next layer, we're here to freaking layer it on.   Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (32:02) I love it. Well, for all of you listening, take action. Don't stay on your isolated island. You don't have to. It's a choice. Join the boat to success. Come join us. We'd love you. Take some action from today. You're the billion-dollar asset. Think about your cash flow, your overhead, your profitability, the systems, delegation ladder. ⁓ What's your winning team? Are you guys winning? Are you thriving? What's that extraordinary leadership formula? Take action. Do something. And just make sure you're living the life you want. We get one life to live. And think about that hourglass.   Is your time slipping away from you? you actively building the life you want? I hope you're choosing the ladder. And with that, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

In session 323, In Class with Carr uses the 2026 Commencement Season to explore the nature of time and the ways rituals marking transition create opportunities to reflect on Africana Governance, our relationships to one another and our obligations to each other. Centering Sankofa as a Way of Knowing, we examine how individual and collective dignity and power are strengthened through action-oriented rituals of Cultural Meaning-Making that encourage collective reflection. Strengthening this momentum of memory is especially important during moments when Social Structures intensify contests over global and local power arrangements and weaponize identity and memory against groups perceived as threats to existing power systems. This week, during a meeting with the U.S. President and leading figures in global business, Chinese President Xi Jinping invoked a metaphor from the Greek historian Thucydides—“the Thucydides Trap”—to signal a shifting global balance of power. Whether in conversations among BRICS foreign ministers in India, in commencement addresses to anxious graduates at Black and other institutions, or in testimony of rising forces determined to break attempts by White nationalist legislators in the neo-Confederate U.S. South to hold on to their fading power arrangements, one message is clear: We are living through a new time in the perpetual realignment of power.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 8, 2026. We open with a story that cuts to the heart of public trust in American institutions — a Utah Supreme Court justice has resigned after it was revealed she was romantically involved with a leftist redistricting attorney whose litigation she ruled on, helping Democrats gain a congressional seat in deep red Utah. We ask the question every American should be asking — is anything sacred anymore? We talk about why courts derive their entire authority from public trust and nothing else, why the founders understood this better than modern elites do, and why if a conservative judge had done the same thing in a case benefiting Republicans, the national media would have run wall-to-wall coverage for weeks. How many times had you heard this story before today? That's the answer. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Virginia State Supreme Court struck down the Democrat redistricting plan that would have flipped the state's congressional delegation from a 6-5 Democrat advantage to a 10-1 advantage — ruling the legislature didn't follow the state constitution's requirement of two separate legislative sessions with an election in between before putting constitutional changes to voters. The whole measure is null and void. Then the U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs in April — nearly double what economists expected — with March numbers revised upward by 10,000, and first-time unemployment claims remaining at historic lows. And in Britain, Keir Starmer's Labour Party lost more than 1,000 seats in local elections across England, Scotland, and Wales while the new Reform UK party picked up more than 1,500 seats — one of the largest losses by a ruling party in British electoral history. We dig into Senator John Fetterman's Washington Post op-ed titled "I Haven't Changed. Here's What Has" — and we give him credit for saying things no other Democrat in Washington will say out loud. Fetterman says his party cannot simply be the opposite of whatever Donald Trump says. He says Democrats used to want a secure border. They used to believe shutting the government down was wrong. They used to support Israel. He's right on all three. We also note that Fetterman would make a terrible Republican — he's still pro-choice, pro-weed, pro-LGBT, and pro-SNAP — but we make the case that the party Fetterman signed up for no longer exists, and that there is currently no political party in America for people who are pro-abortion and pro-Israel, or pro-social spending and pro-law and order. That used to be the Democrat Party. It isn't anymore. We also weigh in on the decision to allow cameras in the courtroom for the trial of the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk — debating whether transparency and public accountability outweigh the risk of turning a murder trial into a TikTok content machine, and why the O.J. Simpson trial is still the cautionary tale that haunts every conversation about cameras in high-profile courtrooms. Then it's Fake News Friday — real news, fake news, or really fake news — including whether Republicans are stealing a Black Democrat's seat in Tennessee (they're not — it's Stephen Cohen, who is white), a publicly funded water park in Plano, Texas holding a Muslim-only day, a South Carolina judge ruling that a convicted murderer can't be executed because he believes he's a god, Washington state making it illegal for daycare workers to peel a banana without a food prep license, Barack Obama blaming Donald Trump for his marital problems with Michelle, and more. We also cover the Pentagon's first release of UFO files at President Trump's direction — and settle the question of whether this is a distraction from Iran. It's not. Donald Trump can walk and chew gum at the same time. And we close with a comprehensive look at the redistricting scoreboard heading into the midterms — Republicans picking up seats in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri, Ohio, Louisiana, Mississippi, and more, while Virginia's 10-to-1 gerrymander got thrown out. The most likely net outcome, according to the compilation of pundits, is Republicans gaining 11 seats in the House. That's a historic reversal of the typical midterm pattern — and it could change everything. For our Bright Spot, 17-year-old Avant Williams took his grandmother Svala to prom — because she grew up in Iceland watching American movies about prom her whole life and always dreamed of going. He wore a tux. She wore a fancy dress. They went to dinner and took pictures. He said, I've only been looking forward to this moment since I was about two years old.

From “In the Beginning” to Amen // DavidDavid He was a son, shepherd, musician, warrior, king, fugitive, father, adulterer, liar, murderer, and a man after God's own heart. 1 Samuel 13:14 (ESV)“But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought out a man after his own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.” Biblical HeartThe control center of your life. David and Bathsheba2 Samuel 11:1 (NIV)“At the time when kings go to war… David stayed home.” SlideThis is an abuse of power. This is manipulation. This is murder. David shows us again, that it's not a question of if we will fail, but what to do when we do.Psalm 51 (ESV)“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem; then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.” “Have mercy on me, O God” …“I know my transgressions…”“Create in me a clean heart…”“Restore to me the joy of your salvation” … “That's what true repentance sounds like.”   David's greatness was not that he didn't fall.It was this: he knew where to go when he did. “Repentance Isn't Punishment—It's Realignment.”  Cultivating A Heart After God's Heart Humble YourselfJames 4:10 (NIV)“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.” “God, I really need you.” Acknowledge Your Brokenness 1 John 1:8-9 (MSG)“If we claim that we're free of sin, we're only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—simply come clean about them—he won't let us down; he'll be true to himself. He'll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing.”  James 5:16 (MSG)“Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed.” Run Toward God           Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”           A man after God's heart isn't someone who never fails…It's someone who knows where to run when they do. Psalm 115:4-8 (ESV)“Those who make [idols] become like them, so do all who trust in them.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV)“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” Romans 12:1-2 (ESV)“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

This episode rips the lid off a dangerously volatile moment in global politics and you'll walk away understanding how close we may be to either a historic realignment or a massive war. From President Trump's risky strategy against Iran to the fragile ceasefires in Lebanon and beyond, the conversation dives deep into power plays, alliances and the brutal realities inside regimes like the IRGC. You'll learn how geopolitical narratives are shaped, why “negotiations” may be more illusion than solution, and how ordinary people, from Iran to New York, are caught in forces far bigger than themselves.

In this April 17th episode, JB White dives deep into the foundations of geopolitical power, emphasizing the importance of U.S. military combatant commands as the starting point for real understanding. He critiques narrative-driven analysis and argues that Trump's strategy combines military and economic leverage into a coordinated global approach. JB highlights Saudi Arabia's trillion-dollar investment alignment with the U.S., the role of regional partnerships, and the broader restructuring of global power dynamics. Along the way, he reflects on media influence, internal disagreements, and the dangers of misreading strategy in a rapidly changing world.

Wrapping-up this season of The Realignment, Marshall begins with an opening monologue summing up his takeaways from the post-2024 election period and what they mean for the future of American politics. Danielle then interviews Marshall about his Missing Liberal Story essay in the States Forum Journal. They discuss how Danielle's "authenticity gap" and book project sync with the need for the political center to tell a coherent story about the country's past, present, and future, why the left-liberal fusion is the path forward, and where the project needs to go next.   

We are now in what's being described as the countdown phase to a historic shift in global maritime power—centered on the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S.-backed naval operation, mine-sweeping activity, and strategic positioning are all converging on a single chokepoint that controls a massive share of the world's energy flow. And the question being asked is simple but explosive: Who controls global trade—pirates or the world's lone superpower?

Eva Hooft is a former international model turned holistic detox and spiritual life coach — for a raw and transformative conversation about true healing. Eva opens up about her journey from the glamorous yet toxic world of modeling, where she battled chronic illness, depression, hidden trauma, and a complete loss of alignment, to discovering the deep interconnection between the body, emotions, and spirit. We dive into: - How suppressed emotions and childhood trauma can manifest as mysterious physical symptoms that conventional medicine often can't explain - The role of heavy metals, parasites, liver health, and nervous system regulation in real healing - Why detoxing isn't just about the physical body — it's about releasing stored trauma and realigning with your highest self - Practical tools from her Realignment Method, blending functional detox protocols with somatic practices, emotional release, and quantum-level healing If you've ever felt stuck in cycles of burnout, unexplained health issues, or a sense that something deeper is holding you back, this episode is for you. Eva's story is proof that radical transformation is possible when you address the root on every level — body, mind, and spirit.

Realigning with Self After Motherhood with Jihan J Season 2 of That Part begins with a simple but powerful shift. We asked Black women in our lives one question: If you could talk about anything on a podcast, what would it be? This episode is the first answer. Jihan returns and brings us into a conversation about realigning with self after motherhood. Not as a dramatic reinvention, but as an ongoing reckoning with identity, change, and what it means to come back to yourself after becoming everything to someone else. Verta and Naa explore the tension between devotion and disappearance, the unspoken expectations placed on Black women, and what it looks like to find yourself again after years of holding it all. From the emotional weight of being needed to the subtle ways we drift from ourselves over time, this conversation moves between the personal and the professional with honesty and care. Because motherhood changes you. But it should not erase you. Realignment is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you have always been and who you are becoming. Season 2 brings new voices into the room while staying rooted in what That Part has always been. Real conversation. Cultural truth. And the things we don't always say out loud.

Hour 3 opens with debate over the safety and risks of a returning lunar spacecraft, focusing on heat shield concerns and the extreme conditions of atmospheric reentry. The show then pivots to foreign policy controversy sparked by Tucker Carlson's comments suggesting the U.S. should reconsider its strategic alignment with Israel, which the hosts strongly reject. The discussion expands into broader geopolitical analysis featuring a British broadcaster arguing that U.S. control of global energy routes is reshaping power dynamics with China, Europe, and NATO. The hour frames these developments as part of a larger strategic shift in American foreign policy and global leverage.

Marshall and Noam discuss how the rise and fall of the "college-for-all" economic model has left a generation of graduates (and non-graduates) feeling betrayed by the system, how downwardly-mobile college graduates are swinging to the economic left, which universities and government policies are responsible for the student debt crisis, and why the Biden administration's debt forgiveness program wasn't a political winner.

Steve Davies's new book, The Great Realignment, argues that the key political divide of the past century — markets versus state control — is being displaced by a new aligning issue: nationalism, sovereignty, and collective identity versus cosmopolitanism and globalism. Cato's Ryan Bourne talks with Davies about why today's biggest political fights seem less about tax and spending and more about borders, culture, and who governs, how these non-economic conflicts still have deep economic roots, and what this new alignment persisting would mean for libertarians and economic policy.

Realignment Newsletter: https://therealignment.substack.com/ Realignment Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/therealignment Email the Show: realignmentpod@gmail.com Saagar Enjeti, Co-Host of Breaking Points, returns to The Realignment. Marshall and Saagar discuss what the escalating conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran means for an "America First" movement and MAGA Republican Party that campaigned on promises to end the past two decades of American intervention in the Middle East.

Tensions in the Middle East are rising fast as conflict with Iran expands and new regional alliances begin to form. I break down the strategic moves behind the war, the realignment happening among Arab nations, and the growing concerns about sleeper cells and security inside the United States. Understanding these geopolitical shifts is key to seeing how this crisis could reshape global power in the months ahead.   Podcast Episode 2048: Iran War Escalates, Middle East REALIGNMENT + Sleeper Cells in America? | don't miss this!
