How did the Phoenicians create the alphabet we still use today? Was the Bronze Age collapse comparable to the fall of Rome?

Today, we're looking at a wooden house revolution that's happening in Europe. Concrete's carbon footprint is turning architects and construction companies towards trees. In Portugal, a rush of new residents to the sparsely populated rural areas – and a lack of builders – is driving the flat-pack and modular wooden house market. Many of these rural plots often have a ruined, abandoned house on them, creating opportunities for faster construction.We also meet an architect who has dedicated his life to building in wood, championing a material he believes is key to more sustainable design.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Alastair LeitheadBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

Today's guest is a Grammy-winning songwriter, global pop architect, and one of the most quietly influential voices shaping modern music across borders.Before the world heard her voice, EJAE spent years training inside the K-pop system — learning discipline, structure, and endurance long before recognition ever arrived. When the system didn't know what to do with her, she pivoted. Slowly. Intentionally. And built a career that would eventually be heard everywhere.Now, as a songwriter whose work spans K-pop, pop, animation, and beyond — and as an artist stepping into her own voice — EJAE represents a different kind of success: one built patiently, shaped by pressure, and defined by longevity rather than speed.And The Writer Is… EJAE.In this episode of And The Writer Is…, EJAE opens up about:The reality of the K-pop training system and what it actually teaches you about discipline and survivalRejection and why her voice didn't fit the moment — and how that shaped her writingLearning to work alone after years inside a rigid systemHow songwriting became a safer, more powerful entry point than performingThe pivot that reframed her career and led to global successAnd much more…Hit the subscribe button and turn on notifications.Every week, we go deep with the most interesting creatives in music.Follow us on socials: @andthewriterisA special thank you to our sponsors…Our lead sponsor, NMPA — the National Music Publishing Association.

In this episode, I turn to confidence, particularly the kind of confidence that often wobbles in mid-career.When roles change, expectations shift, or you begin to question your direction, confidence can take a knock. Not because you've lost your ability, but because many of the external markers we rely on, such as job titles, seniority, or organisational status, start to feel less secure.In this episode, I explore why confidence can feel fragile at this stage of a career, and why reassurance or positive thinking alone rarely helps. Instead, I introduce a more grounded approach to confidence, one built from evidence.I share a simple but powerful writing exercise called the Highlight Reel. It helps you notice moments where you were effective, energised, or at your best, and turn those experiences into clear evidence of what you bring. Not for performance reviews or interviews, but for yourself.This kind of confidence grows quietly. It comes from seeing your own strengths clearly, naming them, and trusting what you already know about how you work best.If you're navigating change, considering your next move, or finding that your confidence hasn't quite caught up with your thinking, this episode offers a practical way to steady yourself and move forward.You can explore these ideas further in my book Write Your Career, which brings together reflective tools and practical exercises to support mid-career growth.

"When you master your inner world, you stop reacting to life and start shaping it." What if the real key to manifestation has nothing to do with vision boards… and everything to do with where you place your focus? In this compelling episode of SoulTalk, Kute Blackson sits down with one of the most talked-about figures in personal development, Kevin Trudeau, for a bold and eye-opening conversation about power, attention, belief, and what it actually takes to create the life you want. This isn't another surface-level conversation about "think positive and hope." Instead, Kevin shares his perspective on the mechanics of manifestation; how your focus shapes your perception, how perception shapes your decisions, and how your decisions ultimately shape your destiny. Together, we explore the idea that the world outside may be noisy, chaotic, and unpredictable, but your ability to direct your attention is the ultimate leverage point. If you've ever wondered why some people seem to attract opportunity, wealth, influence, and momentum while others feel stuck reacting to circumstances, this episode offers a different lens. It invites you to stop giving your energy to distraction and start consciously investing it where it creates results. This conversation isn't about fear. It's about reclaiming agency. It's about understanding how your internal world your focus, your beliefs, your emotional state becomes the foundation of what shows up externally. If you're ready to sharpen your focus, think differently, and unlock a more intentional way of creating success, this episode will challenge you in all the right ways and leave you asking bigger questions about what's truly possible. → Listen now and explore the deeper mechanics of focus, power, and manifestation.

(00:12:45) – The danger of fantasy thinking without aligned action. (00:15:10) – Discipline, focus, and consistency as the real drivers of success. (00:18:32) – Personal responsibility versus victim mentality in modern society. (00:21:07) – How external distractions keep people away from their true potential. (00:24:18) – The psychological impact of media, fear, and constant information overload. (00:27:46) – Attention as the most valuable resource in today's world. (00:33:05) – How environment and daily inputs shape mindset and outcomes. (00:36:22) – The difference between reacting to the world and consciously creating your experience. (00:39:41) – Inner mastery as the foundation of influence and leadership. (00:45:36) – Why most people give their power away without realizing it. (00:48:02) – The importance of clarity, intention, and mental direction. (00:52:44) – Choosing where to place your focus in a noisy and chaotic world. (00:56:14) – Mastering your internal state regardless of what is happening globally. (00:57:23) – The illusion of control over the outside world versus real control within. (00:58:53) – Reclaiming personal power through awareness and intentional focus. In This Episode You Will Learn… Why focusing on the external world can keep you distracted from your real power. How your personal perception shapes your emotional reality more than global events. Why inner focus is the ultimate form of control in uncertain times. The hidden cost of constantly consuming fear-driven narratives. How shifting your attention inward can radically change how you experience Some Questions I Ask What if the chaos of the world is pulling my attention away from my real power? Am I reacting to headlines more than directing my own life? Where is my focus on the world I can't control or the one I can? How much of my stress comes from things outside my direct reality? Who would I become if I mastered my inner world instead of fearing the outer one? Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

What happens when a global law firm treats AI as a way to sharpen human judgment rather than replace it and uses change as a chance to rebuild stronger rather than cling to the past. Client Centric Innovation anchors this conversation with Lorie Almon, Chair and Managing Partner of Seyfarth Shaw, one of the largest global law firms in the AmLaw 100. Lorie shares how she thinks about leading a firm of more than a thousand lawyers through rapid technological change while staying grounded in client-defined value and strong professional culture. The Japanese concept of Kintsugi becomes a powerful lens for understanding this moment in the legal profession. When long-standing systems crack under pressure, do leaders rush to preserve the old shape or intentionally rebuild something stronger? Lorie explains how this mindset influences decisions around AI adoption, strategic growth, and the way knowledge and judgment flow across the firm. What does it really mean to future-proof a law firm? How do leaders decide which traditions deserve protection and which need to evolve? And as technology accelerates, which human skills become even more essential? This conversation offers a thoughtful and pragmatic look at the future of legal leadership with people firmly at the center.

On this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes Daniel Gray, author of The Men from the Medium — a memoir written entirely by hand while incarcerated following January 6th. Daniel's story is not about headlines. It's about accountability, humility, faith, and rebuilding a life from the ground up. While serving time, he turned inward — using writing as discipline, reflection as medicine, and honesty as a path toward transformation. In this conversation, Daniel speaks openly about: Taking responsibility for past actions The role of grace in personal growth Writing as a form of self-reconstruction Faith during isolation Turning chaos into clarity This episode is about redemption — not excuses. About ownership — not blame. And about what it truly takes to rebuild a life with integrity. If you believe in second chances, personal responsibility, and the power of transformation, this conversation is for you.

What does it take to build a profitable hydrotherapy spa brand in three different markets and scale it to $10 million in annual revenue? In this episode, Harmony Oschefski and Cedar Hwang share how the bodhi spa grew from a bold idea sparked in Maui to a multi location wellness company rooted in contrast therapy, operational discipline, and community driven growth. We explore how sauna culture, cold plunge therapy, and a thoughtfully designed water journey can become the foundation of a scalable spa business model. This conversation goes beyond wellness trends and dives into infrastructure, financing, Department of Health compliance, maintenance systems, staffing strategy, and brand positioning in a rapidly growing wellness economy. What You'll Learn: How to design a hydrotherapy spa business model that balances water journey revenue with massage and facial services Why contrast therapy and cold plunge trends are only sustainable when supported by serious infrastructure and maintenance systems What it takes to secure SBA financing for a first time concept and how to successfully appeal a denial How to scale from one spa location to three while maintaining brand consistency and operational excellence Why weekly pool draining, state of the art filtration systems, and a dedicated maintenance manager protect long term profitability Episode Highlights: 03:12 – Growing up with sauna culture and cold plunges in Nova Scotia 11:48 – The Maui moment that sparked the bodhi spa business idea 18:27 – Getting denied for SBA financing and how they successfully appealed 26:04 – What a hydrotherapy water journey includes and why contrast therapy works 34:15 – Rebuilding the entire operating model during COVID to satisfy Department of Health requirements 41:22 – Scaling to Providence and Norwood and what changes with each new market 47:36 – Why weekly pool draining and a full time maintenance manager are non negotiable 53:18 – Reaching $10 million in revenue and building infrastructure for long term brand sustainability Meet the Guests: Harmony Oschefski is Co Owner and Managing Partner of the bodhi spa. With a background in life sciences and functional health, she brings a complementary wellness perspective to spa development and operational strategy. Cedar Hwang is Co Owner and Managing Partner of the bodhi spa and a former 12 meter yacht captain. Her leadership experience and operational discipline inform the systems, staffing, and execution behind the brand's growth. Together, they have built three bodhi spa locations across New England and employ nearly 100 team members. Tools, Frameworks, and Strategies Mentioned: The bodhi spa Water Journey hydrotherapy circuit Contrast therapy using sauna and cold plunge sequencing SBA financing and structured loan appeal strategy Dedicated maintenance management with weekly full system resets Infrastructure first scaling model with General Managers at each location State of the art filtration, HVAC, and pool monitoring systems Gender inclusive design and dual temperature cold plunge strategy Closing Insight: The bodhi spa's growth story shows that the wellness industry rewards both inspiration and precision. Sauna culture and cold plunge therapy may attract attention, but long term success depends on disciplined maintenance, regulatory compliance, staff training, and operational infrastructure. As Harmony shares in the episode, the goal was never just to open a spa. It was to build a company that could stand on its own.

The best reboots don't start with a flashy roadmap. They require honesty and reflection with courage to make consequential decisions swiftly. When a company is bleeding cash, stuck in the past, and getting further from what customers want, you eventually hit a fork in the road. Do you strip it down and rebuild, or walk away and call it a day? It's a tough decision as it forces leaders become refounders; to build trust and create a culture the team can rally behind with a vision for success. To be an Entrepreneur you must believe in your ability to solve problems. Trying to be perfect is the enemy of progress but sometimes you have to take a risk. On this week's episode of the Reboot Chronicles we talk with a fellow refounder and professional rebooter Brad Charron, CEO of Aloha. committed to building a great brand that screams optimism backed by human values. What Brad inherited wasn't a rocket ship. It was a beloved brand attached to a failing idea, buried under too many SKUs, a culture that had gone toxic, and losses so severe that the easiest answer would have been to call it. Instead, Brad rebuilt Aloha around a new set of priorities: fewer products, real ingredients and an employee-owned operating model rooted in transparency and accountability. Can you really have a relationship with a brand? According to Aloha, yes you can!

There are stories you follow for so long that they weave themselves into your own becoming. This episode is one of them. From the opening minutes, Matt Logelin brings us back to the moment his life split in two—when joy and devastation arrived within hours of each other. He describes, with rare honesty, the day he became both a brand-new father and a widower at thirty, the surreal blur of hospital hallways, and the impossible grief of losing his high school sweetheart just one day after their daughter Maddie was born. His recollection is heartbreaking, vivid, and deeply human, a reminder that life can turn without warning—and that somehow, we still learn to breathe again.As Matt walks us through those early months, we hear the raw truth of parenting through shock, survival, and tenderness. He shares how he learned to raise Maddie alone, how strangers became lifelines, and why writing—despite his insistence that he hates doing it—became the thread that held him upright. His blog unexpectedly reached millions, offering a window into a life rebuilt mile by mile, record shop by record shop, midnight bottle by midnight bottle. What emerges is not a story about tragedy, but about devotion—the devotion of a young dad determined to give his daughter the rich, joy-filled life her mother would have wanted.And then comes the unexpected: new love on a Southwest flight, a blended family built with gentleness and humor, and two more daughters who helped rewrite everything he thought he knew about fatherhood. Matt shares how he navigated the complexity of loving again after loss, how his wife Lizzie embraced not just him but the entire constellation of his life, and why their family's story—immortalized in his bestselling memoir and the Kevin Hart Netflix film Fatherhood—is ultimately about hope. By the end of this episode, you'll feel it too: the truth that grief and joy can coexist, that families can be rebuilt, and that second chapters can be breathtakingly beautiful.

This week, Thea sits down with Kelly and Audrey for an unscripted conversation about what happens when driven women lose the plot on their health and fitness priorities. This isn't a conversation about macros, meal plans, or ten step routines. It's a conversation for the those of us that know exactly what we should be doing and still can't seem to do it. If you're the entrepreneur who categorizes a one-hour walk as wasted time, the former athlete who can't reconcile who she was with where she is now, the high achiever who will move boulders but won't stack pebbles. We're coming to the table without a tidy answer, and that's precisely the point.What unfolds is less a prescription and more a negotiation ... with your own expectations, your own timeline, and the version of yourself you keep comparing with the you you are today. Kelly reframes the entire goal-setting conversation by asking what would happen if we stopped chasing outcomes and started chasing the feel good. Audrey shares the raw reality of spending over a year unable to return to the gym routine she once maintained effortlessly. And Thea candidly admits that discipline, not talent, is the piece she's been skipping.Together, we make the case that optimization means nothing without consistency, and that the most elite performers aren't elite because they transcended the basics. They're elite because they never stopped choosing them.TL;DR …Why treating your health like a "waste of time" is actually the most expensive belief a high-achieving woman can hold.Kelly's reframe on goals: stop chasing specific outcomes and start building a daily practice around feeling like an absolute weapon for everyone in your life.Audrey's candid account of the eighteen months it took to rebuild a gym habit she once considered effortless.The critical distinction between simple and easy, and why confusing the two is where most driven women lose momentum.How to negotiate with yourself when your identity is built on excellence and the current assignment is embracing the suck.Kelly's two universal, non-negotiable foundations that apply regardless of your goal: sleep and steps.Where to Go From HereYour turn: what hit home?

Stephanie Sammons: Financial Planner by Day, Songwriter by Calling | Curious Goldfish with Jason EnglishHost Jason English welcomes Stephanie Sammons to Curious Goldfish in Nashville for a conversation about her dual life as a Dallas-based financial planner and an emerging songwriter. Stephanie explains her holistic approach to wealth management—combining financial planning, tax planning, and investment management—while emphasizing the importance of behavior, long-term perspective, and living fully rather than following rigid rules. She shares how she decided to “go pro” as a songwriter without leaving her career, motivated by a desire to avoid regret and stop waiting for permission to be herself, including encouragement from songwriter Mary Gauthier to claim the title of songwriter. Stephanie discusses her Southern Baptist upbringing in Missouri, how coming out created a decade-long family disconnect, and how reconciliation eventually developed into mutual respect, including her parents' relationship with her wife and their grandchildren. The episode explores themes of faith, nuance, fear, optimism, and how personal experiences become songwriting material, including her song “Faithless” and the origins of “Innocence Lost,” inspired by a childhood memory of shooting a bird with a BB gun and later shaped in a Mary Gauthier workshop. Stephanie notes she released her 2024 album “Time and Evolution” and is currently recording a second full-length album with Mary Bragg, expected in early 2026.

Part 4 of reuploading classic history episodes in the run up to our book club review of Serve the People! by Yan Lianke.In episode 4 of the Cultural Revolution series, we look at how the party began to rebuild itself in the period 1968-1972 through a series of internal meetings, some last-minute purges, and a few devastating mass campaigns that would end up having a much higher impact than anything the Red Guards had carried out in previous years.Though much had happened in China during the last few years, to many people it seemed like nothing had fundamentally changed. Though the people running the government were different, the structure of the party-state itself had remained the same. If anything, the only real difference was the preeminence that Mao Zedong Thought gained during this period, largely thanks to the support of the PLA.Songs: Long Live Chairman Mao and March of the Revolutionary Youth0:00 Introduction ("Long live Chairman Mao")3:18 Rebuilding the system14:45 "March of the revolutionay youth"15:05 The dismissal of Liu Shaoqi25:40 The 9th plenum28:20 The final campaigns43:00 Lessons learned50:22 OutroBuy bookclub books hereBuy me a coffeeLinks to everythingSupport the showSupport the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

In this deeply personal and paradigm-shifting episode, Darin sits down with Justin McMillen, founder of Tree House Recovery and architect of one of the most innovative addiction treatment models in the country. What begins as a conversation about Midwestern roots and fatherhood quickly expands into genetics, evolutionary biology, trauma, tribal bonding, and the future of American healthcare. Justin shares how addiction nearly ended his life — and how a miracle encounter with a former inmate sparked the creation of a radically different recovery model rooted in biology, psychology, and social bonding. From surf therapy to Seal-style team dynamics, Harvard collaborations to a federal endorsement from RFK Jr., this episode explores how addiction may not be weakness — but misdirected high performance. And the implications go far beyond sobriety. This conversation reframes how we think about chronic disease, mental health, tribal polarization, loneliness, and what it means to be necessary in modern society.

It may be misdirected high performance in the wrong environment. We are wired for bonding, movement, purpose, and tribe. When those disappear, something else will take their place. If we want to solve addiction, and chronic disease, we don't just treat symptoms. We rebuild the tribe.

Eric Thompson interviews Ryan Wentworth and Michael Parsiola of Reve Realtors in New Orleans, Louisiana, who experienced a dramatic turnaround after realizing they had been running their business "on accident." After dropping from 20 million in volume to 13 million in a challenging market shaped by rising interest rates and skyrocketing insurance costs, they consciously decided to rebuild their business on purpose. The shift was not about chasing more leads. It was about returning to fundamentals, implementing consistent flow systems, and intentionally structuring their partnership. In 2025, they produced 29 million in volume, a 123% year-over-year Increase, while the market grew only 3%. They share how they streamlined operations, eliminated inefficiencies, and recommitted to consistent client touches including just sold mailers, newsletters, market reports, and highly creative live flow events like Saints football games and architectural cycling tours. They also discuss how they divide responsibilities within their partnership to maximize clarity and efficiency, with one focusing on listings and the other on buyers, while maintaining unified communication. At its core, their breakthrough came from moving from reactive to intentional, from accidental production to systemized flow, and from perfection paralysis to consistent action. Key Takeaways Being "on accident" often means managing incoming business without proactive flow systems Market shifts expose weak systems and force clarity Rebuilding from the ground up creates stronger, more efficient processes Intentional flow beats accidental momentum Mailers and market reports work when consistent and visible Auto flow creates visibility even when you are busy Invitations are as powerful as attendance for generating connection Creative, authentic flow tied to personal interests increases engagement Partnership clarity prevents confusion and builds client trust Clearly defined roles create efficiency and confidence Coaching provides accountability, fresh ideas, and perspective Perfection is the enemy of good and progress beats paralysis Consistency compounds, even if it feels small in the moment Memorable Quotes "We were managing the business that was coming at us, not on purpose." "We need to go back to basics." "We needed to know how the sausage is made." "Just sold cards were all in my head. Clients loved them." "We didn't want them to feel passed off." "Perfection is the enemy of good." "Look at where you were two years ago." "We're not a 10, but we're a 7, and that's way better than a 2."

On the latest Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe are looking ahead to the NFL Combine. They discuss the challenges of covering the event and how it kicks off a crucial offseason for the Browns. The conversation turns to the offensive line, a major area of need. After a successful 2025 draft, can Andrew Berry hit on positions like O-line and wide receiver where he's had misses in the past? They shift to the other side of the ball to break down the hiring of new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg. They discuss why the first-time play-caller is a good fit to continue the Jim Schwartz system. They explain why that continuity is vital for the success of Myles Garrett and the rest of the defense. Plus, Ashley shares a story about being on a Frontier flight with no Wi-Fi when the news broke.
