1. Life in Cuba Before and After the Revolution At first, many Cubans—including Sonia’s family—believed Fidel Castro would bring hope and equality. Very quickly, Castro imposed strict control, destroyed economic freedom, and made the entire population equally poor. 2. The Reality of Communist Cuba Universal poverty: Everyone was paid the same and had almost nothing—food shortages, basic needs unmet. State surveillance: Every neighborhood had assigned informants who monitored households and reported any anti‑government sentiment. Restrictions on daily life: Cubans were barred from renting boats, traveling, or accessing certain services, even if they had citizenship elsewhere. 3. Persecution and Indoctrination Sonia witnessed the regime executing and imprisoning dissenters. Castro used propaganda to turn children against their families, encouraging them to report relatives critical of the government. Schools were forced to teach pro‑communist, pro‑Castro ideology. 4. Family Resistance Sonia’s mother (a teacher) was ordered to teach communist doctrine. Rather than comply, she pretended to have a mental breakdown so she could be removed from teaching, since quitting was illegal. Sonia herself resisted the regime and was repeatedly detained, imprisoned for days, and disappeared without her family knowing her whereabouts. 5. Life After Leaving Cuba Sonia left in 1962 but returned over the years with suitcases of medicine, food, clothing, and household essentials—items extremely scarce in Cuba. She often left behind even her own clothes because relatives in Cuba lacked basics like underwear and bedsheets. 6. The Illusion Presented to Foreign Visitors Tourists and foreign politicians were only shown “model” schools, hospitals, and neighborhoods. This created a false image of prosperity, hiding the suffering of everyday Cubans who lived in extreme poverty. 7. Misconceptions About Socialism and Communism The conversation highlights how younger Americans often romanticize socialism without understanding its authoritarian outcomes. It emphasizes that socialist regimes destroy incentive, suppress faith, and strip away basic freedoms. The leaders of these systems live in luxury while the people remain impoverished. 8. The Human Cost Sonia stresses that the worst suffering was the inability of families to secure food and basic necessities for their children. Many Cubans survive by drinking sugar water to feel full. Average income was described as around $30 per month, making survival nearly impossible. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In today's episode, I share the six lessons behind the meaning of the past and why we do not suffer in the present. Reality is neutral and meaning is assigned, so I show how past stories drain energy, distort decisions, and create fear through projection. I explain how thoughts are signals, not commands, why we are rarely upset for the reasons we think, and how presence beats prediction when execution matters. I walk through cancel, clear, and connect as a repeatable way to reset, reclaim attention, intention, interpretation, and take the smallest next step aligned with where we want to be or better.
While most of the industry uses December to wind down and coast into the new year, we've been doing the exact opposite. January hit and it was an immediate sprint. We've been back on the road, opening up new markets, and staring down the barrel of distributor meetings and case goals. If you look at our single barrel requests right now, everything is looking "up and to the right," but in this business, the view from the top is always a little precarious. The real question isn't just how you grow, but how you stay there. In this episode of Behind the Pursuit, Ryan and I are pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to enter new markets in 2026. We're diving into the nitty-gritty of distributor communications and why a solid on-premise strategy may be the only way to survive a landscape that is getting more crowded by the day. We also get honest about the challenges smaller brands face when trying to stay nimble while consumer preferences are shifting right under our feet. It's a look at the balance between aggressive growth and the strategic planning you need to make sure that "up and to the right" trend doesn't just become a flash in the pan.Show Notes: Introduction and Market Overview Product Launches and Consumer Demand Market Trends and Consumer Preferences On-Premise Strategy and Cocktail Placement Challenges and Competition in the Whiskey Market Future Goals and Strategic Planning Learn more about your ad choices.

You don't need a new personality, a new job, or a vision board with unhinged optimism. You need to live in the joy ratio. In this final episode of the New Year mini-series, Jenn walks you through how to actually design your life and leadership for joy—not as a vibe, but as a strategy. This is a guided, reflective episode (yes, you'll want to grab a pen), where values, stories, and personality finally come together in a practical framework Jenn calls the Joy Ratio. You'll identify what genuinely fuels you, what quietly drains you, and how small, intentional shifts can radically change how you experience your work and life. No “new year, new you.” Just a new opening—and a smarter way forward. Here's What's in the Episode: 1:01 If you don't know what brings you joy, there is no way you can ever live in joy.. 2:12 We don't need to normalize toxic positivity or toxic teams. 4:11 Identifying joy for yourself. 7:07 Identifying toil, even if you're good at the work. 9:58 Using the joy ratio. 11:02 how to design your work and entire life for joy without pretending toil can disappear. Key Takeaway You can't lead well from a life that's designed to drain you. You didn't “lose” your joy—you never built it into your leadership.

Jesse Michels returns to the mind meld! Jesse Michels returns for a sprawling conversation on the strange overlap between UFOs, consciousness, and the hidden esoteric currents running beneath modern science.
This conversation felt like therapy, but better, and I'm so excited to share it! I'm joined by Thais Gibson, founder of The Personal Development School, for a deep, emotional conversation about attachment theory and how it affects all aspects of our lives, far beyond just romantic relationships. Thais breaks down the four attachment styles, digs into how they're formed, and how they can shift over time - especially after major life events and loss. She explains why so many of us feel like we could be "all of them", how to identify our core patterns through wounds, needs, boundaries, and nervous system regulation, and why the relationships we choose often mirror the relationship we have with ourselves. Once we identify which style we fall into, she dives into the part that matters most: How to actually change your attachment style and the steps we all can take to rewire our brains to heal.This episode is filled with tools for building real self-trust and meeting your own needs, so you can stop living from a place of fear, hyper vigilance, or feeling "not good enough". Thank you so much, Thais.

Are you ready to question the official narrative? Lionel dives into the "red pill" moments that shatter our worldview, from the Kennedy assassination to the physics of the 9/11 tower collapses. This hour features raw, surreal anecdotes from Ground Zero—including a bizarre run-in involving a Harvey Weinstein commercial during the chaos—and a debate on whether we truly want the brutal truth or just a comfortable myth. Lionel also tackles the logic of mass deportation, the slippery slope of suing social media platforms for addiction, and the idea of "new meat" callers. Finally, the show wraps with a hilarious roast of old-school televangelists. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

AI was supposed to make work more efficient. So why are people busier than ever? As organisations move into 2026, many leaders are realising that while technology has changed quickly, the fundamentals of how work gets done haven't kept up. Activity is increasing, output is accelerating in places - yet coordination, focus, and decision-making often feel harder than before. So what's actually going on? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Philip Arkcoll, Founder and CEO of Worklytics, to unpack this very question. Join this dynamic duo, as they discuss: What the data reveals around where organisations were getting stuck in 2025, and how the way we work is changing in 2026 What collaboration and activity data reveals that traditional HR metrics often miss Why decision-making, not output, is becoming the primary bottleneck in AI-enabled organisations How increasing spans of control are reshaping the role, and load, of managers The emerging divide between teams and individuals who are benefiting from AI and those who aren't What HR and people analytics leaders can do to measure, diagnose, and redesign how work actually happens This episode is sponsored by Worklytics. Worklytics helps leaders understand how work actually happens with data-driven insights into collaboration, productivity and AI adoption.

In this episode, Donna and Sam had a virtual sit down with Alex B. Hill for Detroit By The Numbers and Kirsten Elliott, the CEO and President of Community Housing Network. Together, they trace a clear line from protest and media narratives to the daily math of housing: water debt, fixed incomes, PSH funding, and what “affordable” actually costs.Community Housing Network empowers people to live in affordable homes to help build thriving communities. They envision a future where everyone can achieve stability, dignity, and opportunity. They aim to create thriving communities with affordable homes, connect individuals and families to essential resources, and foster a supportive workplace for their employees.

Have you ever fantasized about quitting your corporate job to buy a run-down motel and turn it into a boutique empire—even if you have zero experience in hospitality or design?

This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Audible and Strong Coffee Company. You've probably heard of the trauma responses fight, flight, and freeze — but there's a fourth response that may be shaping your life without you even realizing it: fawning. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ingrid Clayton, PhD a clinical psychologist, trauma therapist, and author of Fawning, to understand why people-pleasing, over-accommodating, and self-abandonment are not personality flaws — they're intelligent survival responses your nervous system learned to keep you safe. You'll learn how fawning develops when fight, flight, or freeze aren't available — especially in childhood, unequal power dynamics, toxic relationships, and work environments where your safety or stability feels at risk. You'll also discover how living in a chronic fawn response can quietly disconnect you from your needs, your voice, your body, and your sense of self. This conversation helps you recognize why "just setting boundaries" often feels impossible, why you may disappear in relationships, and why choosing yourself can feel terrifying even when you know something needs to change. Most importantly, you'll hear why none of this means something is wrong with you — you make sense. If you've been stuck in survival mode, waiting for permission, approval, or safety outside yourself, this episode will help you understand what's been happening beneath the surface — and how you can begin moving forward by reconnecting with who you truly are.

Dissociation can happen to people who grew up in chaotic, abusive, or passive-aggressive homes and is common in CPTSD. In this throwback episode, we revisit an earlier recording where I explain why many children who have experienced trauma while growing up escape into fantasy or daydreaming, as a way to cope with their unsafe or uncomfortable realities.MENTIONED IN PODCAST:

What does it really take to move AI from proof-of-concept to something that delivers value at scale? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Simon Pettit, Area Vice President for the UK and Ireland at UiPath, for a grounded conversation about what is actually happening inside enterprises as AI and automation move beyond experimentation. Simon brings a refreshingly practical perspective shaped by an unconventional career path that spans the Royal Navy, nearly two decades at NetApp, and more than seven years at UiPath. We talk about why the UK and Ireland remain a strategic region for global technology adoption, how London continues to play a central role for companies expanding into Europe, and why AI momentum in the region is very real despite the broader economic noise. A big part of our discussion focuses on why so many organizations are stuck in pilot mode. Simon explains how hype, fragmented experimentation, and poor qualification of use cases often slow progress, while successful teams take a very different approach. He shares real examples of automation already delivering measurable outcomes, from long-running public sector programs to newer agent-driven workflows that are now moving into production after clear ROI validation. We also explore where the next wave of challenges is emerging. As agentic AI becomes easier for anyone to create, Simon draws a direct parallel to the early days of cloud computing and VM sprawl. Visibility, orchestration, and cost control are becoming just as important as innovation itself. Without them, organizations risk losing control of workflows, spend, and accountability as agents multiply across the business. Looking ahead, Simon outlines why AI success will depend on ecosystems rather than single platforms. Partnerships, vertical solutions, and the ability to swap technologies as the market evolves will shape how enterprises scale responsibly. From automation in software testing to cross-functional demand coming from HR, finance, and operations, this conversation captures where AI is delivering today and where the real work still lies. If you're trying to separate AI momentum from AI noise, this episode offers a clear, experience-led view of what it takes to turn potential into progress. What would need to change inside your organization to move from pilots to production with confidence?

Show Notes: Jason Baumgarten is a partner at Spencer Stuart where he is also the global head and CEO of board practice. He assists businesses in all sectors to identify and evaluate CEOs who motivate senior leadership teams to reach their full potential. Additionally, he assists boards with CEO succession planning, director recruitment, and identifying future leaders. How to Join a For-profit Board Jason talks about the range of roles on a board and the specific roles a board might be looking to fill. He explains that the specificity of board roles varies based on the scale and maturity of the organization, using a real example of a board search he is currently involved in. Jason discusses how sophisticated boards often have specific requirements for board members, such as industry experience, geographic expertise, and specific skill sets. Identifying and Defining Board Roles When asked about the various categories of board roles, such as finance, data analytics, and HR, Jason explains that the most common request is for recently or actively retired CEOs, followed by CFOs with specific finance experience. He highlights the importance of understanding the nature and type of business the company is in, such as regulated industries, capital-light businesses, or capital-heavy businesses. Board Member Etiquette Jason outlines the main drivers for wanting to be on a board: prestige and the desire to be helpful. He explains the concept of "noses in, fingers out" in governance, emphasizing the importance of board members being helpful but not overly involved. He also discusses the range of compensation for board members, from stipends to significant annual fees, and advises against depending on board compensation as a primary source of income. He stresses the importance of being willing to fire oneself from a board to provide objective advice to the CEO. The Reality of Joining a Board for Management Consultants Jason advises not to limit aspirations and suggests using a simple litmus test: "if the company wouldn't hire you as a top executive, they probably won't consider you for a board role." He explains the importance of nonprofit boards, both fundraising and operating boards, and how they can provide valuable experience and networking opportunities. Jason discusses the potential for board roles in small private companies, large private companies, and public companies, emphasizing the importance of regional connections and unique experiences. The Role of Executive Search Firms in Board Recruitment Jason explains that search firms are often involved in board searches for public or pre-IPO companies and large private equity firms. He advises building relationships with search firms and being responsive and helpful when they reach out for market intelligence or advisory work. Jason also shares the importance of having a network of firms that work in your industry or location and how advisory work can lead to board opportunities. How Boards Vet Prospective Members The conversation turns to the process of being vetted and evaluated for a board role, including interviews, background checks, and social media history. Jason explains that some boards generally recruit with a lighter touch than other roles, but private equity and regulated boards may conduct more thorough diligence. He advises candidates to ask about the board's process, including the last board member hired and the steps involved in the recruitment process. He also emphasizes the importance of meeting all board members and ensuring a good fit in terms of personality and interests. The Commitment Reality of Being on the Board Jason talks about the typical time commitment for board members, including meetings, committee calls, and ad hoc time with the CEO. He explains the importance of understanding the size of board decks and the amount of preparation required for each meeting. Jason also advises candidates to be patient and persistent, as the process of getting on a board can take years and is often unpredictable. Identifying Risks to Board Members When asked about the risks involved in accepting a board position and the importance of D&O insurance, Jason recommends consulting with a D&O insurance broker to understand the market and ensure appropriate coverage. He advises candidates to be aware of any litigation or regulatory risks associated with the board and to seek legal advice if necessary. Jason also emphasizes the importance of understanding the board's D&O policy and ensuring that board members are covered appropriately. Final Thoughts and Advice Jason reiterates the importance of understanding the time commitment and potential disruptions that can arise. He advises candidates to be patient and persistent, as the process of getting on a board can take years. Jason shares a story about a former CISO who became a sought-after board member, illustrating the unpredictability of the process and the importance of perseverance.

The Post editorial is not an argument, it is a tantrum disguised as analysis, built almost entirely out of contempt for the reader rather than engagement with the facts. Instead of explaining why the Epstein files should remain limited or why institutional handling has been sound, it opens by ridiculing curiosity itself, portraying transparency as hysteria and accountability as a nuisance. It repeatedly blames the public for prosecutors' workload while carefully ignoring the far more damning question of why millions of pages of sensitive material were allowed to accumulate in secrecy for years without resolution. The piece weaponizes the word “conspiracy” to dismiss any inquiry without ever confronting the actual record of non-prosecution agreements, sealed grand juries, immunity clauses, and documented institutional failures that made skepticism inevitable. By framing bipartisan concern as pathology and inquiry as obsession, the editorial tries to convert distrust — created by government misconduct — into a moral defect of the audience. Its constant appeals to SDNY's prestige function as a shield against scrutiny rather than evidence of competence. The article never once grapples with the known procedural irregularities that protected Epstein for decades, because acknowledging them would collapse its thesis. Instead, it replaces investigation with scolding and substitutes sneer for substance. The result is not journalism but narrative discipline, instructing readers that the real scandal is not trafficking, immunity, or protection, but the audacity of citizens to ask how power escaped consequence.More revealing than anything the piece says is what it refuses to say: nothing about the non-prosecution agreement, nothing about unnamed co-conspirators, nothing about sealed testimony, nothing about intelligence overlaps, nothing about the long record of deliberate suppression that made the Epstein case a legitimacy crisis in the first place. By insisting that “no evidence has ever surfaced” while ignoring flight logs, settlements, testimony, recruitment patterns, and financial trails, the editorial performs selective blindness in service of institutional self-defense. Its claim that Biden's access disproves Trump ties relies on naïve assumptions about leaks and ignores the legal architecture that prevents disclosure, while its mockery of “distraction” theories rings hollow in an article explicitly designed to redirect attention away from the files. The editorial's core fear is not conspiracy thinking but institutional exposure, because the danger of the Epstein archive is not salacious gossip but procedural truth — who intervened, who stalled, who authorized, and who buried. In the end, the piece is less a defense of reason than a plea for quiet, urging the public to abandon scrutiny so elites may remain undisturbed. It treats transparency as vandalism, victims as inconvenience, and curiosity as illness, revealing a worldview in which legitimacy is preserved not by accountability but by exhaustion. Far from debunking hysteria, the editorial demonstrates exactly why distrust persists: when institutions cannot answer questions, they try to shame people into stopping them.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:You'll never guess what the new Epstein scandal is

The problem is, he never lived to see her grow up. He was killed during World War II, decades earlier, in another country entirely.Some say the mind creates comfort at the end.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Reiners called police twice in 2019. A welfare check. A mental health call. That means at some point they perceived enough danger or dysfunction to bring in law enforcement. But by December 2025, they're sharing a home with Nick after watching him act erratically at a party. They went to bed. What happened to their threat calibration? Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Hidden Killers to analyze the long con—how a manipulative person reshapes family reality over two decades until danger becomes normalized. Robin spent 21 years with the FBI, including as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and he specializes in understanding how trust gets exploited. Rob Reiner said publicly that he regretted listening to addiction specialists and professionals instead of his son. Robin explains what it looks like when someone has successfully trained their family to distrust outside expertise—and how long that takes. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father in 2015, a movie about their own relationship and his addiction. That's extraordinary narrative control—he got to shape the public story of his illness with his father's collaboration. What does that level of influence tell you about the power dynamics? The Reiners had tried tough love. It hadn't worked. They blamed themselves. Robin explains how manufactured guilt functions as a manipulation tool inside families—and why legitimate frustration with a broken treatment system becomes a vulnerability that can be exploited. The surviving children don't want the death penalty. Even now—protection. Robin weighs in on what that means.#HiddenKillers #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #FBI #FamilyManipulation #ThreatBlindness #BeingCharlie #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What does it actually take to build trust with developers when your product sits quietly inside thousands of other products, often invisible to the people using it every day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Ondřej Chrastina, Developer Relations at CKEditor, to unpack a career shaped by hands-on experience, curiosity, and a deep respect for developer time. Ondřej's story starts in QA and software testing, moves through development and platform work, and eventually lands in developer relations. What makes his perspective compelling is that none of these roles felt disconnected. Each one sharpened his understanding of real developer friction, the kind you only notice when you have lived with a product day in and day out. We talked about what changes when you move from monolithic platforms to API-first services, and why developer relations looks very different depending on whether your audience is an application developer, a data engineer, or an integrator working under tight delivery pressure. Ondřej shared how his time at Kentico, Kontent.ai, and Ataccama shaped his approach to tooling, documentation, and examples. For him, theory rarely lands. Showing something that works, even in a small or imperfect way, tends to earn attention and respect far faster. At CKEditor, that thinking becomes even more interesting. The editor is everywhere, yet rarely recognized. It lives inside SaaS platforms, internal tools, CRMs, and content systems, quietly doing its job. We explored how developer experience matters even more when the product itself fades into the background, and why long-term maintenance, support, and predictability often outweigh short-term feature excitement. Ondřej also explained why building instead of buying an editor is rarely as simple as teams expect, especially when standards, security, and future updates enter the picture. We also got into the human side of developer relations. Balancing credibility with business goals, staying useful rather than loud, and acting as a bridge between engineering, product, marketing, and the outside world. Ondřej was refreshingly honest about the role ego can play, and why staying close to real usage is the fastest way to keep yourself grounded. If you care about developer experience, internal tooling, or how invisible infrastructure shapes modern software, this conversation offers plenty to reflect on. What have you seen work, or fail, when it comes to earning developer trust, and where do you think developer relations still get misunderstood?

Nonduality is about pointing. We cannot describe Ultimate Reality, but we can point to it. This idea is repeated often. You have undoubtedly heard many times the Zen proverb about not mistaking the finger pointing to the moon for the moon itself. And this is helpful. It helps us look beyond ideas, words, doctrines, and beliefs to know Reality directly. What is not often mentioned is that pointing can itself be a barrier to spiritual awakening. Pointing is misleading. It assumes that Reality is over there somewhere, where we are pointing. Pointing is therefore mis-pointing.

N.W.A, the self proclaimed “most dangerous group in America,” were seen as violent, thuggish, profanity-spewing criminals, but they had nothing on those who were sworn to serve and protect them in South Central Los Angeles. The group's hard hitting beats and reality rhymes launched a “gangsta rap” trend in music that still thrives today, and their album Straight Outta Compton predicted one of the most notoriously violent events in American history.

Greg answers questions about responding to someone in ministry who's avoiding controversial truths with the students, suggestions for witnessing to a brother after his stroke, whether God sees salvation as a single moment in time, a possible problem with the moral argument, and the flood. Topics: What should I say to someone in ministry who is avoiding controversial truths with the students so that they'll keep coming back? (00:00) Do you have suggestions for witnessing to my brother after his stroke? (14:00) Does God see salvation as a single moment in time or as the whole process of drawing, converting, and sanctifying? (27:00) If Christianity put in place our ideas of what is truly good and what is truly evil, then how can we make the case for God using the moral argument? (36:00) Do you think the story of Noah is historically true but the ark and the animals are allegorical?
