Around here we're all too good at carving out time for others when they need it the most, but when it comes to ourselves it's a whole other matter. So today's episode is part permission slip, part bossy homework to claim some time for yourself.

In less than five years, launching a third-party marketplace has gone from a questionable move to a strategic imperative for many major retailers. Recorded live at NRF 2026, this episode of Retail Remix digs into that shift with Scott Eckert, CEO of the Americas at marketplace operator Mirakl.Scott explains why retailers are embracing curated marketplaces as an offensive growth strategy — no longer just as a defensive reaction to Amazon — and how brands like Ulta Beauty, Best Buy and Lowe's are expanding assortment without diluting brand identity.The conversation also dives into how AI answer engines are reshaping product discovery, and why clean, machine-readable catalog data may soon matter more than traditional SEO. Plus, Scott shares Mirakl's growing role in retail media and the company's vision of becoming an orchestration layer across emerging AI-driven commerce channels.Key TakeawaysHow the proving power of Amazon and, perhaps more importantly, Walmart has completely shifted retailers' attitude toward online marketplaces;Why retail media and marketplace strategies increasingly go hand in hand;The important role marketplaces will play in the world of AI commerce, when done right;Why product data must be optimized differently for different AI platforms like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic; andThe essential quality of a truly disruptive product or service. Related LinksLearn how Mirakl powers enterprise marketplaces and retail mediaRelated reading: Mirakl CEO: Marketplaces are ‘Arming the Rebellion' of Traditional Retail Against Big TechRelated reading:Best Buy's New Third-Party Marketplace is Now LiveExplore more NRF26 coverage and retail insights from Retail TouchPointsSubscribe so you don't miss more episodes of Retail Remix from the show floor of NRF26

If you allow people to discover their voice, to claim their space, to set their boundaries… they will speak upMeggi and I discuss the concept of mindful rebellion - which isn't about anarchy, but about strategic influence and finding your voice in complex environments. This discussion explores the psychological impact of organizational identity on personal well-being, the challenges of reinvention, and the power of strategic, quiet disruption within established systems.An interesting take on mindfulness as an antidote to the potential pitfalls of AI. While AI can augment human capabilities, it risks making people “cognitively lazy” by replacing critical thinking and skill development. Learning mindfulness alongside AI skills from a young age can help individuals leverage AI's benefits while preserving their capacity for presence and independent thought.Mindfulness became a crucial tool in meggi's own journey to prevent burnout and in turn informed her concept of mindful rebellion, a gentle yet powerful approach to challenging the status quo for greater innovation and employee satisfaction.The challenge of distinguishing between healthy self-reflection and destructive self-doubt, and allowing yourself to mourn during transitions, but not getting stuck in a negative space. This resonated deeply with me, as I know how easily we can fall into overthinking, especially when facing big changes or career shifts.How to foster and accompany this change ? The “submarine technique” for creating change within organizations was one idea. Instead of pushing loudly against resistance, working “under the radar,” gathering evidence, and building momentum with champions before emerging. This strategic patience allows new ideas to strengthen and gain support, making it easier for leaders to say “yes.” and enable them to cultivate environments where challenging the status quo leads to greater engagement and retention.This approach feels so relevant in today's constantly changing workplaces, where reinventing ourselves and our businesses is the new normal for keeping up with technology and market shifts.The main insights you will get from this episode are :Mission-driven organisations can be outwardly compassionate but internally harsh; when organisational and personal identities merge, the outcome is akin to complex family dynamics – difficult moments mean we appreciate what binds us and feel a sense of belonging, but without becoming (too) attached to the need for external validation.We are all constantly evolving, moving through phases of (maybe radical) reinvention, changing priorities, learning from difficult moments along the way - the younger generation do not speak from a place of lived experience or pain and this gap between the generations is widening.Upskilling is the new normal and requires transferrable skills across sectors: our superpowers here are hard skills like craftsmanship (analytical, strategy, etc.) and soft skills like empathy, that come from life experience, e.g. ‘unofficial' skills from family life or hobbies that can be a USP in bringing our whole selves to a job.The difference between healthy self-reflection and destructive self-doubt is mindfulness – understanding the principles of non-judgement, being aware of a negative mindset, feeling and acknowledging feelings and then letting them pass; artificial positivity can be dangerous, and mastery of self is important (especially in teams).The ‘submarine' technique can be used to develop positive case studies to convince people of change, i.e. running small side projects under the radar to make the bigger point and then surface with demonstrable success, displaying strategic patience to help leaders support new ideas in a tangible, specific way.‘Mindful rebellion' (based on the PCM personality model and Rebel Talent by Francesca Gino) is about finding our voice, accepting who we are and speaking up authentically; mindful rebel managers working with mindful rebel talent is a potent combination for successful intrapreneurship, even in bureaucratic setups.William Bridges' three phases of change – the ending, the neutral zone and new beginnings – emphasise sufficient time in the neutral zone for introspection and challenging old scripts; in the absence of clarity, courage and confidence, the Japanese concept of ikigai is a good starting point for true alignment.Mindfulness can be the antidote to AI, making us aware of the risks - going through the pain ourselves will enable us to derive the biggest benefits from AI; curiosity about mindfulness and rebellion allows us to test them out in micro habit form, experimenting with an open mind and being bold with ideas.Find out more about Meggi and her work here :https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrombach/https://mindset-mastery.ch/https://meggirombach.com/

Unraveled in a whirlwind of faith, blood, and red banners, the Taiping Rebellion reshaped 19th-century China and challenged the Qing state from the margins of history to the center of world affairs. This video traces how a millenarian movement, led by Hong Xiuquan, grew from Anhui villages into a vast civil war that destabilized one of Asia's oldest empires. We examine the social discontent that fed the rebellion: famine, taxation, and regional strife, alongside promises of equality, land redistribution, and shared property. As Taiping forces advanced, they carved out a rival capital at Nanjing and installed their own governance, creating a stark alternative to Qing rule. Yet the rebellion's size did not guarantee endurance; internal factionalism, military overreach, and logistical struggles drained resources, while disciplined Qing counteroffensives gradually reclaimed ground. The narrative also situates the conflict in a global context, showing how Western powers and the Second Opium War influenced contemporary strategies and diplomacy, sometimes offering support or shaping international responses. By the mid-1860s, oaths, edicts, and mountains of corpses underscored the human cost of civil war, and the Qing dynasty slowly recovered its authority at enormous price. The Taiping legacy persists in discussions of reform, regionalism, and rebellion's limits as a catalyst for state modernization. Viewers will leave with a clearer sense of how ideology, leadership, geography, and external pressures converged to end one of history's most devastating uprisings and to redefine China's path forward. This exploration reveals why this rebellion remains a turning point in modern Chinese memory.   Don't forget I have a Youtube Membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbp8JMZizR4zak9wpM3Fvrw/join or my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pacificwarchannel where you can get exclusive content like "What if Japan invaded the USSR during WW2?"

Hunter and Jessica are back to break down what might be the most stressful 24 hours in galactic history. In this episode, the political, militaristic, and underworld factions of the rebellion are finally colliding, and Mon Mothma is officially done playing the polite politician. The hosts dissect her epic, bridge-burning Senate speech where she bravely drops the "M" word—Monster—on Emperor Palpatine right before the ISB literally pulls the plug on the power. Meanwhile, Cassian Andor's retirement plans are once again spectacularly ruined. Despite telling everyone who will listen that he is completely "done," he inevitably ends up playing bodyguard, throwing his gross brown jacket over Mon Mothma's couture to rescue her down a 187-step OSHA nightmare of a staircase. Jessica and Hunter also dive into Luthen's terrifying puppet-master skills, Bix's heartbreaking farewell recording (could there be a baby Andor on the way?), and the highly anticipated boot-up of a certain KX security droid. Plus, stick around for some quick thoughts on The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer and those glorious X-Wing sunset shots.Join us on Facebook: The Purrgil Pod. We are also on Blue Sky and Mastodon.

Isabella of Angoulême: The Scandalous Queen of England Who Helped Spark a War In this episode of Queens Podcast, Katy and Nathan unpack the chaotic life of Isabella of Angoulême, the controversial Queen of England and wife of King John. Married at just twelve to the 33-year-old king, Isabella's union helped ignite political turmoil between England and France, contributing to the loss of Normandy and the instability that led to the Magna Carta. Chroniclers painted her as a “Jezebel,” blaming her for wars, rebellion, and even witchcraft. After King John's dramatic death in 1216, Isabella returned to France, remarried in scandalous fashion, and continued making waves well into her fifties. Troublemaker or survivor? From child queen to dowager rebel, this is one of medieval England's most misunderstood women.

In this episode of Finding Purpose with Russ Andrews, we dive into Hosea chapter 8 and the biblical role of the watchman. Drawing powerful parallels between Paul Revere's warning ride and God's prophets, Russ explains how God lovingly sends warnings before judgment. We examine Israel's rebellion, idolatry, and rejection of God's Word and what those same sins reveal about America today. This message is a sobering call to repentance, revival, and returning to God's truth before it's too late.

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the latest report that a Game of Thrones movie is in the works and may center on Aegon's Conquest. Frank talks about why this is one of the biggest stories fans have been waiting for, why Beau Willimon feels like a strong choice to write it, and how the movie could balance dragon-sized spectacle with the character drama that made Westeros so compelling in the first place. The episode also gets into early fan casting chatter, including names like Henry Cavill and Jacob Elordi, while making it clear that no casting has been announced yet.00:00 Introduction to the Game of Thrones movie report00:08 Why Aegon's Conquest is one of the big stories fans have wanted00:19 Three dragons, major Targaryens, and familiar Westeros houses00:26 Why Beau Willimon is an interesting writing choice00:37 The challenge of balancing spectacle with character drama00:51 The family tension and succession drama that could drive the film01:06 Why a Warner Bros. theatrical release could mean a bigger budget01:10 Why Henry Cavill rumors are still just fan casting01:21 Frank's fan casting thoughts and question for listenersA Game of Thrones movie is reportedly moving ahead instead of a new series focused on Aegon the Conqueror.Aegon's Conquest and Robert's Rebellion remain two of the most wanted live action Westeros stories.The reported choice of Beau Willimon suggests the project may lean into layered writing instead of pure spectacle.The real hook of an Aegon story is not just dragons and war, but the internal Targaryen drama.No casting has been confirmed, despite online fan casting conversations.A theatrical release could give the project a much larger scale than an HBO series version.“For the Game of Thrones fan, there's two big stories they're waiting for, and that's Aegon's Conquest and Robert's Rebellion.”“All Game of Thrones, you have to balance the spectacle with the character drama.”“It needs to be a very charismatic Targaryen. He's kind of the Targaryen that starts off everything we know.”A movie centered on Aegon's Conquest could reshape the future of the Game of Thrones franchise on screen. It opens the door to one of the most important events in Westerosi history, brings in iconic houses like the Starks and Lannisters, and gives fans a story that feels big enough for theaters while still leaving room for political and family tension.Enjoyed the episode?

"You have gone too far! For all in the congregation are holy, every one of them." Korah, Dathan, and Abiram lead a revolt against Moses and Aaron, claiming that all Israel is equally holy. The earth opens and swallows the rebels, and fire consumes those offering unauthorized incense. In this terrifying chapter, we see the danger of despising the offices God has established. The priesthood is not a human invention to be challenged but a divine institution pointing to Christ, our only mediator.  The Rev. Peter Burfeind, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Union City, MI and Agnus Dei Lutheran Church in Marshall, MI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 16.  To learn more about Our Savior and Agnus Dei Lutheran churches, visit facebook.com/oursaviorunioncity and agnusdeimarshall.com. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway.  In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people.  These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In 1677, the longtime residents of the old and remote county of Albemarle in northern Carolina, a collection of cranks and dissidents who had fled from Maryland and Virginia and were used to living free of interference from the Carolina proprietors and the Crown’s tax collectors, revolted against new attempts to collect duties on tobacco. Quite astonishingly, they succeeded! And not without some history comedy along the way. In the long history of the Americans, it is easy to ignore Culpeper's Rebellion. Virtually all surveys of American history do. Albemarle was small, a literal backwater, and not even the most important part of Carolina. Historians of North Carolina, however, see it as a truer reflection of the American Revolution, a century later, than the other colonial upheavals of the 1670s. The Albemarle rebels were an early example, in their democratic tax-avoiding free-trading don't-tread-on-me resistance, of ideas that would later be taken up throughout English North America.  Subscribe to my Substack!

While filming in rebel-held Syria, Loubna Mrie is falsely accused of being a spy – an accusation that spirals into a life-threatening ordeal, triggering the deepest loss of her life.In 2011, Loubna Mrie broke from her loyalist family to join Syria's underground network of activists. She used her Alawite identity – the same minority sect as the ruling Assads – to move through checkpoints and secretly film anti-government protests, even as it put her in conflict with her powerful father and the regime that had shaped her childhood. But Loubna's Alawite background made her a target for both sides. While filming in a rebel-held village, a local commander falsely accused her of being “an Alawite spy” and planned to execute her. Rescued at the last moment by a fellow activist, Loubna fled Syria – uploading a video declaring her support for the uprising before crossing into Turkey. What followed was a shattering personal loss. From exile, Loubna struggled with grief, guilt and addiction. She lost friends and a partner to the war, survived alone in a new country, and eventually entered rehab – where she learned that Bashar al-Assad had finally fallen from power in Syria. For Loubna, the news was not a triumph but a painful reckoning: the end had come far too late for so many she loved. Loubna's written a book called Defiance: A Memoir of Awakening, Rebellion, and Survival in Syria.Loubna shares her story over two episodes. In the previous episode, she described her journey from a loyalist upbringing to becoming one of the unlikely young revolutionaries who documented Syria's civil war. In part two, the same identity that once protected her puts her in danger.

What if questioning doctrine isn't rebellion—but faithfulness?Many Christians were taught that asking hard questions means you lack humility, submission, or faith. But Scripture tells a different story.In Episode 3 of Breaking Free, we confront Lie #2: “You're rebellious if you ask questions.”Using Acts 17:11, we look at why the Bereans were called noble for examining Scripture—even when the apostle Paul was teaching.If you've ever been made to feel disloyal, divisive, or dangerous for wanting clarity, this episode is for you.You're not rebelling.You're growing.

In the 1960s and 70s, a group of black filmmakers at UCLA produced a diverse collection of films to challenge Hollywood’s depiction of black communities. The LA Rebellion presented films with uniquely black stories. What was this movement and what did it accomplish?

In California, who did this segregation serve? Our guest confirms it was the interests of “citrus capitalism” in Orange County. The famous Supreme Court Case Broad v Board of Education challenged segregation in public schools. But there was another precedent, the Mendes et al case, that challenged segregation and education in California against Mexican-Americans.

But if you refuse to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:14-15 NLT A decision to live in the Kingdom of God is a decision to reject the kingdom of this world.Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world, wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important, has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out, but whoever does what God says is set for eternity. 1 John 2:15-17 MSGDarkness, more than immoral behavior, is living under the influence of the wrong king, culture, and kingdom.Jesus used this illustration: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the leaven a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” Matthew 13:33 NLT`Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. Luke 12:3 ESVAs it relates to which kingdom we're living in and are influenced by, small choices make a huge impact.Rebellion always starts with seemingly insignificant compromise!You were running well. Who prevented you from being persuaded regarding the truth? This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough. Galatians 5:7-9 CSBCompromise has a compounding negative impact on our spiritual well-being and destinyGod's remedy for rebellion is repentance which then leads to redemption and restoration! I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. - All glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:16-17 & 20 NLTOur amazing Messiah came to multiply every obedient choice we make for our good and His glory.Surrender your life, including your time, talent and treasure wholeheartedly to the God one choice at a time. The Kingdom of Heaven is like the leaven a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” Matthew 13:33 NLTThe impact of living in God's Kingdom will permeate everything about who we are and how we live. -------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

Today we're diving into all things courage, dream-chasing and the signs along the way.

In this episode, we break down the explosive first season of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion — from Lelouch's rise as Zero to the moral chaos his rebellion unleashes. We explore the politics, the betrayals, and the characters who make it unforgettable.And we stand in solidarity with Minneapolis — condemning state violence and affirming that real-world justice matters just as much as the ethics we debate in fiction. Fuck ICE, and fuck state violence. ✊

Today we're bringing you an episode with Esau McCaulley, from the Lenten season of 2023. Esau sees Lent as a practice of collective generational wisdom, passed down through centuries of sacramental rhythms—but as a contemporary reality, Lent is a spiritual rebellion against mainstream American culture. He construes Lent as a season of repentance and grace; he points out the justice practices of Lent; he walks through a Christian understanding of death, and the beautiful practice of stripping the altars on Maundy Thursday; and he's emphatic about how it's a guided season of pursuing the grace to find (or perhaps return) to yourself as God has called you to be. In his classic text, Great Lent, Orthodox priest and theologian Alexander Schmemann calls this season one of “bright sadness”—an important paradox that represents both Christian realism and hope. Lent is not about gloom, self-loathing, performative penitence, or despair. Instead it brings us face to face with our human condition, reminding us that we did not bring ourselves into being and someday we will die, sober about the reality and banality of evil, and sorrowful in a way that leads back to joy. Esau McCaulley is The Jonathan Blanchard Associate Professor of New Testament and Public Theology at Wheaton College, a contributing writer for the New York Times, and is author of many books, including children's books. Notables are Reading While Black, a theology of Lent, and his latest: How Far to the Promised Land: One Black Family's Story of Hope and Survival in the American South.

Show Notes Lent: The Season of Repentance and Renewal — https://esaumccaulley.com/books/lent-book/ Commodifying our rebellion—the agency on offer is a thin, weakened agency. Repentance, grace, and finding (or returning to) yourself Examination of conscience The Great Litany: “For our blindness to human need and suffering, and our indifference to injustice and cruelty. Except our repentance, Lord.” The beauty of Christianity “Liturgical spirituality is not safe. God can jump out and get you at any moment in the service.” “The great thing about the, the, the season of Blend in the liturgical calendar more broadly is it gives you a thousand different entry points into transformation.” Lent is bookended by death. Black death, Coronavirus death, War death. Jesus defeated death as our great enemy. “Everybody that I know and I care about are gonna die. Everybody.” “I, as a Christian, believe that because we're going to die. our lives are of infinite value and the decisions that we make and the kinds of people we become are the only testimony that we have and that I have chosen to, to, in light of my impending death, put my faith in the one who overcame death.” Two realities: We're going to die and Jesus defeated death. Stripping of the Altars on Maundy Thursday. Silent processional in black; Good Friday celebrates no eucharist. “I'm, like, the one Pauline scholar who doesn't like to argue about justification all of the time.” Good Friday's closing prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God, we pray you to set your passion cross and death between your judgment and our souls.” “You end Lent with: Something has to come between God's judgement and our souls. And that thing is Jesus.” “Lent is God loving you enough to tell you the truth about yourself, but not condemning you for it, but actually saying that you can be better than that.” Production Notes This podcast featured Esau McCaulley Edited and Produced by Evan Rosa Hosted by Evan Rosa Production Assistance by Macie Bridge, Luke Stringer, and Kaylen Yun.

Around here we're probably all too familiar with the old adage 'practice makes perfect'. But the word perfect can often set off alarm bells, so today we're flipping the idea of perfection on its head.

In this conversation, Sathiya and Jay Stringer explore the concept of desire, challenging the common belief that it is a problem. They discuss how desire can be a source of healing, intimacy, and personal growth. Jay introduces his framework of five core desires—wholeness, personal growth, intimacy, pleasure, and meaning—and emphasizes the importance of navigating critical periods in life with intention and support from community and elders. The discussion highlights the diagnostic nature of desire and its role in revealing areas of personal development, ultimately advocating for a healthier relationship with desire as a means to flourish in life.
