Send us a textIn this episode of Game For All Seasons with Coach E, the crew closes out the year with a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation — the kind of real dialogue you won't get from highlight shows or headline chasers.We open the episode with a live phone interview with longtime friend Christian Wise Smith, who announces his candidacy for Georgia Labor Commissioner — a role in which he would become only the second Black person ever elected if he wins. The conversation dives into politics, labor, leadership, and community impact, offering meaningful insight beyond surface-level political talk.Coach E sets the holiday tone with a holiday party recap and reflections on transitioning into the new year, before the conversation shifts into sports. The crew breaks down boxing culture and Jake Paul, including Anthony Joshua's knockout, contract clauses, legacy debates, and whether influencer boxing is helping or hurting the sport. Real boxing comparisons follow, featuring Bud Crawford, Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather, Tyson Fury, and more — separating hype from true skill.From there, the crew tackles Myles Garrett's historic, record-breaking season and why it continues to be overlooked, reacts to the viral DK Metcalf fan interactions, and addresses the growing NFL quarterback pipeline crisis. The discussion digs into leadership, accountability, player development, and why fan patience runs out when expectations don't match on-field results.As always, the episode closes with the Post Game Word — “Where Do We Go From Here?” — challenging listeners to focus on real goals for 2025, not just short-lived New Year's resolutions.This episode is about truth over comfort, conversation over clicks, and perspective over noise.Tap in, get inspired, and get your weekly dose of game.

Chris Cuomo responds directly to YouTube comments and viewer pushback in a holiday-week comments episode, addressing reactions to his takes on rage bait, Trump, Venezuela, due process, and whether constant outrage actually helps Democrats win power. He explains why condemning Trump at maximum volume may feel righteous but often fails politically, and why selective outrage — especially around war, deportation, and national security — undermines credibility across party lines. Chris also answers comments about his clashes with media figures like Don Lemon, Jim Acosta, and Mehdi Hasan, reflects on how algorithms reward anger over judgment, and explains why he refuses to build a personal brand around hate or tribal loyalty. He closes with a Christmas message about generosity, independence, and resisting the pressure to let politics turn every disagreement into a moral war.

Joe Pags cuts through the noise on the Epstein files, explaining why they're not nearly as damning as the left wants them to be. He plays the canned responses from Kamala Harris on why her DOJ released nothing for four years, then zeroes in on a moment where Mike Johnson may have accidentally revealed more than intended. Pags says it plainly: release them all and let society decide. Then Kay Hill joins the show with a smart, must-hear breakdown of marijuana rescheduling—why some drugs are legal while others aren't, how opioids compare to marijuana, and what the shift really means. With firsthand knowledge of the industry as a tobacco farmers wife, Kay explains it in a way you've likely never heard. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

(I have a early present for you - download your 2026 Goals & Intentions here: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/2026-goals-and-intentions/ OK! Back to the ass-kicking…How badly do you actually want the life you say you want? This episode is a direct conversation about commitment, purpose, and the uncomfortable truth most people avoid. I'm not here to motivate you. I'm here to ask you a question that changes everything. Because most people will never achieve their dreams. Not because they can't, but because they aren't willing to do what it takes. In this episode, I talk about the difference between a pipe dream and a mission. Why words mean nothing without action. Why comfort keeps you stuck. And why the people you admire are willing to do things most people won't. I share my own story, the trauma I survived, the clarity I have about why I'm here, and why I refuse to live a small life. Not because it's easy, but because the mission is bigger than me. This is an end-of-year conversation. The kind that asks you to get honest with yourself before you carry excuses into another year. In this episode, we cover: • Why most people never follow through on their vision • The difference between wanting something and being committed to it • Why motivation fades but purpose doesn't • What comfort and safety are actually costing you • Why proximity, mentorship, and investment matter • What you're willing to do when it actually matters If this episode hits, let me know.

Spiritual awakening in 2025 is changing fast. In this video, I share the top 5 spiritual lessons of 2025, including how AI can weaken intuition, why nervous system healing is essential for spiritual growth, and what it really means to trust your inner guidance during awakening.If you're experiencing a spiritual awakening, developing your intuition, or feeling overwhelmed by information, technology, or AI tools, these lessons will help you reconnect to your inner knowing in a grounded, embodied way.Sharing my top 5 Reality Check Breakthroughs I had this year. In 2025, my spiritual growth changed in ways I didn't expect... This year taught me that spiritual growth isn't linear — it's a spiral, intuition isn't something you “optimize,” and that over-reliance on AI and external guidance can quietly disconnect us from our inner knowing.In this video, I share the top 5 spiritual lessons I learned in 2025, including how intuition develops through nervous system regulation, why growth often reveals itself in strange ways, and how learning to feel safe with uncertainty is essential for spiritual awakening (and the collective chaos happening all around us) This isn't about rejecting technology — it's about discernment, embodiment, and reclaiming intuitive authority in a world that constantly pulls us outward.Lets be clear i'm not anti-AI but I SURE think it's doing something bts to our intuition if we're not careful and it's DESTROYING FREE THINKING. Let's talk about it.✨ In this video, you'll learn:Why spiritual growth happens in spirals, not straight linesHow intuition acts as your guiding post during awakeningThe hidden ways AI can suppress free thinking and intuition when used as a crutchWhy nervous system healing is foundational for intuitive developmentHow to feel safe walking with uncertainty instead of forcing answersIf you're navigating a spiritual awakening, emotional healing, intuition development, or feeling overwhelmed by information overload, this episode is for you.Before you go don't forget:

Episode Overview In this episode of Talk Retail To Me, Parker Avery's chief revenue officer, Dan Wittner, and Blue Yonder's head of global retail strategy, Jim Hull, discuss the evolving landscape of retail, focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence, the importance of data quality, and the transformation of store models into fulfillment centers. They explore the challenges retailers face with labor and the need for dynamic data models to adapt to changing consumer demands. The conversation also highlights the upcoming NRF 2026 Big Show and the excitement surrounding innovations in the retail sector. Key Takeaways AI is now a core part of retail strategy and must be tied to business outcomes. The most successful initiatives focus on measurable impact, such as cost reduction, revenue growth, or operational efficiency. Human adoption is critical to AI success. AI works best when it augments teams and is embraced by users, rather than positioned as a replacement for people. Data quality and dynamic data models are foundational to modern retail. Clean, consistent data and continuously evolving models are essential for accurate forecasting and decision-making. Stores are evolving into hybrid fulfillment hubs. Retailers are hyper-focused on redesigning store models to support fulfillment alongside shopping, improving speed, cost, and customer experience. Labor models must adapt to support fulfillment-enabled stores. New operating models require updated labor standards, expanded skill sets, and more flexible workforce planning. NRF 2026 will showcase retail innovation moving from concept to reality. The event is expected to highlight proven, market-ready solutions delivering real value at scale. Episode Highlights Why most AI projects succeed or fail in retail How retailers are rethinking demand signals and forecasting The growing importance of data quality and dynamic data models The evolution of stores into fulfillment and service hubs What to expect at NRF 2026 (& meet Parker Avery at booth #2703) Related Content Blog Post: Optimizing Data Readiness for AI in Retail Podcast: Retail's Data Reckoning: Your First Move in Transformation Case Study: New Data-Driven Solution Strengthens Grocer's Competitive Pricing Capabilities Insights: The Expert Guide to Data Governance in Retail

Show Featured Sponsor: Werks Holsters "WE MAKE HOLSTERS FOR PISTOLS WITH LIGHTS"   On this episode of the American Warrior Show, Rich Brown sits down with retired Navy SEAL Bill Rapier, founder of AMTAC Shooting, for a no-nonsense discussion on real-world self-defense. He is the lead instructor of over 200 Amtac Shooting courses and has trained over 2500 students since 2020. Bill is retired after twenty years in the Navy, where his duty assignments included several years at SEAL Team 3 and over 14 years at Naval Special Warfare Development Group. Positions held include assaulter, breacher, sniper, team leader, troop chief, and military working dog department senior enlisted adviser. He has always been an avid shooter and is heavily involved in combatives. Bill brings decades of experience from Naval Special Warfare, including time at SEAL Team 3 and DEVGRU, where performance under pressure wasn't optional—it was survival. Why most self-defense conversations focus too heavily on the gun—and what happens when the fight starts inside arm's reach. The importance of a layered defensive approach: awareness, decision-making, combatives, and firearms—used in the correct order. How to train shooting skills that actually transfer to real life, not just the square range. Integrating fighting and shooting so skills don't collapse when stress, chaos, and violence show up fast. Common training blind spots among armed citizens—and how to fix them with smarter practice and higher standards. Why efficiency, simplicity, and pressure-tested fundamentals matter more than flashy techniques.
