In this 292nd episode of Take Flight Weekly, we're digging into the real drivers of elite performance. Not theories. Not motivational fluff. We're talking about the psychology, systems, habits, and feedback loops that keep top producers at the top — and why “waiting to feel motivated” is one of the fastest ways to stall your business. Here's the truth: money may get you started, but it rarely keeps you going. Once your financial base is secure, the real fuel comes from clarity, recognition, purpose, and the environment you operate in. Elite producers know this — and they intentionally build those triggers into their daily routine.

Faisal Saeed Al Mutar joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful conversation on freedom, reform, and the unfinished business of the Middle East. Faisal is an Iraqi refugee who lived through the chaos of Saddam's fall and the U.S. invasion. He recounts his journey from Baghdad to America, and how those experiences shaped his mission to promote secularism, literacy, and critical thinking in the Arab world. He exposes how extremism thrives on ignorance, and why authoritarian regimes—from Iraq to Qatar—use culture, religion, and oil wealth to maintain power.They discuss the failures of U.S. foreign policy, Trump's controversial deals with Gulf states, and the ongoing struggle for genuine reform in a region caught between dictatorship and jihadism. Faisal argues that real change must come from empowering young people with ideas, not weapons.All this—the Iraq War, Qatar's influence, the dangers of authoritarianism, and one man's fight to build a freer Middle East…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 04:52 Christopher Hitchens' Influence and the Iraq War17:23 Obama's Foreign Policy and Its Impact on Iraq 28:22 Trump's Foreign Policy and Qatar's Role45:51 Qatar's Influence on American Institutions 52:15 Syria and the Persecution of Minorities1:05:51 Recognition of Palestine as a State 1:29:23 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Hilary Rantisi speaks with Palestinian-Canadian lawyer and analyst Diana Buttu. They discuss Palestinian citizens of Israel, who have long navigated Israeli racism and have faced accelerated repression over the last 22 months that has included arrests, threats, and efforts to impeach Palestinian Knesset Member Ayman Odeh and undermine Palestinian political participation inside of Israel. They talk about responses to the Israeli genocide in Gaza, including recent protests and hunger strikes led by Palestinian citizens of Israel as well as growing numbers of Jewish Israelis who are naming Israeli actions in Gaza as genocide. They also look at the new diplomatic wave led by many Western states promising to recognize a Palestinian state and, specifically, how that state recognition is juxtaposed against the International Court of Justice's rulings on Israeli occupation. Finally, Diana reflects on the legacy of the Oslo Accords and the reckoning on those agreements that has never occurred.  Diana Buttu is a Palestinian-Canadian lawyer, analyst, and writer. She is also the Communications Director in Palestine for the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU). Previously, she served as a legal advisor to the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Hilary Rantisi grew up in Palestine and has been involved with education and advocacy on the Middle East since her move to the US. She is a 2025 Fellow at FMEP and was most recently the Associate Director of the Religion, Conflict and Peace Initiative (RCPI) and co-instructor of Learning in Context: Narratives of Displacement and Belonging in Israel/Palestine at Harvard Divinity School. She has over two decades of experience in institution building at Harvard, having been the Director of the Middle East Initiative (MEI) at Harvard Kennedy School of Government prior to her current role. She has a BA in Political Science/International Studies from Aurora University and a master's degree in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Chicago. Before moving to the US, Hilary worked at Birzeit University and at the Jerusalem-based Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center. There, she co-edited a photo essay book Our Story: The Palestinians with the Rev. Naim Ateek. Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

Robert “Kool” Bell is more than just a name in music history — he's the steady heartbeat behind one of the most enduring funk, soul, and R&B bands of all time: Kool & The Gang. Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Robert grew up in a musical household that would shape his destiny. When the family moved to New Jersey, he and his brother Ronald Bell — later known as Khalis Bayyan — began experimenting with music as teenagers. They first formed a jazz-influenced group called the Jazziacs in 1964, bringing together local friends who shared a love for tight grooves, horn-driven melodies, and improvisation.As the '60s rolled into the '70s, the Jazziacs evolved into Kool & The Gang — a name that reflected Robert's cool, confident persona and the collective energy of the band. Bell's bass lines became the foundation of their sound: deep, rhythmic, and endlessly danceable. Their music didn't fit neatly into one box — it was a fusion of jazz sophistication, funk grit, and R&B warmth. That genre-blending approach would prove to be their secret weapon in crossing musical and cultural boundaries.Kool & The Gang's early years were built on relentless gigging and honing their live performance skills. They became a powerhouse act on the club circuit before breaking into the mainstream with hits like “Jungle Boogie” and “Hollywood Swinging” in the early '70s. Bell's bass was front and centre, locking in with the drums to create the irresistible rhythms that would become the band's trademark. By the late '70s and early '80s, Kool & The Gang had perfected their party anthem formula. Songs like “Celebration,” “Get Down On It,” and “Ladies' Night” became global smashes, cementing their place on dance floors around the world.Robert “Kool” Bell wasn't just the bandleader — he was its anchor. His leadership helped navigate the group through lineup changes, shifting musical trends, and the unpredictable turns of the industry. While many bands faded after their initial burst of fame, Kool & The Gang adapted and thrived, appealing to multiple generations of fans. Their music found new life through sampling in hip-hop and R&B, exposing their grooves to entirely new audiences.Recognition came in waves. Kool & The Gang earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, and were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. They've sold over 70 million albums worldwide, and their tracks have been featured in countless films, commercials, and TV shows. Through it all, Robert “Kool” Bell remained a visible and active figure, still performing live well into the 21st century.Bell's nickname “Kool” wasn't just a stage name — it reflected his calm presence, stylish demeanor, and ability to keep the band grounded. Off stage, he's been involved in philanthropic work and entrepreneurial ventures, including a line of French wines inspired by his international travels. Yet, no matter the project, music has always been at the core of his life.Today, Robert “Kool” Bell stands as a symbol of endurance in the music industry. From basement jam sessions in New Jersey to sold-out arenas around the globe, his journey is one of passion, persistence, and an unshakable groove. Kool & The Gang's catalogue continues to inspire — not just because of the songs themselves, but because of the spirit Bell infused into every note. His story is a reminder that true legends aren't just made by hits; they're made by the dedication to keep the music alive for decades.For fans, Robert “Kool” Bell isn't just the man who played the bass — he's the reason Kool & The Gang has remained one of the most celebrated bands in funk, R&B, and soul history. And as long as there's a party to start, a dance floor to fill, or a crowd to move, you can bet that somewhere, Robert “Kool” Bell will still be laying down the groove.I hope you'll enjoy our chat today with Robert 'Kool'Bell.

Drywall is one of the most commonly used materials in construction — and one of the most wasteful. It's estimated that more than 10 percent of drywall from new buildings end up in landfills. The material can release harmful gasses, such as hydrogen sulfide, and act as a potential contaminant for groundwater. But two architecture professors at Washington State University’s School of Design and Construction have developed a way to turn this waste into something useful.   Taiji Miyasaka and David Drake have spent years developing and patenting a process to transform drywall scraps into usable building blocks — a substitute for bricks — and fire-resistant wall panels that are both known as Drywall Waste Technology. Made with up to 90 percent drywall waste, WSU estimates that excess material from just 16 new homes could produce enough DWT material to build one tiny home. Miyasaka and Drake’s products have earned international acclaim, winning the AZ Award for Environmental Leadership in Azure magazine’s global design competition.   David Drake joins us to explain how this technology could be a resource in addressing both housing shortages and construction waste.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. This month's theme is “Healing Our Communities,” which divesinto some questions like, “How can I Help?” Whether you're a caretaker orsuffering, I have seen strong communities be very helpful towards healing. Sometimes I think of a comedian I watched one time and theparaphrased quote that I continue to tell myself and to those I assist: “Don'tbe the mayor of nothing.” When I was struggling with my condition, I spent countlesshours trying to be understood while feeling more and more like a burden. I hadto reframe and accept that it did not require others to understand to get thesupport needed. Healing communities provide that safe space to gain thisinsight, speaking from experience."The greatness of a community is most accuratelymeasured by the compassionate actions of its members." – Coretta ScottKingToday we have a new guest, Clarissa Burt, to assist us inunpacking what healing our community may mean to us today. Disclaimer: if you are in crisis, please seek appropriateprofessional help immediately. The new 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline isavailable for those in the States. More on Clarrisa Burt:  https://bit.ly/3S8HDurHer international award-winning bestselling book entitledThe Self-Esteem Regime, published by Roman and Littlefield has been on theshelves in Barnes & Noble nationwide for the last 4 and a half years.

The book helps readers findworthiness through a concrete, step-by-step program. Sharing her unique mix ofknowledge, attitude, and humor, Clarissa handholds readers through her uniqueprocess of RE-invention that instills a lifetime of self-awareness, poise, andassurance. According to Clarissa, healthy self-esteem means feelingworthy at all times. This experience requires having the solutions necessary tocope with challenges as they arise and feeling worthy of happiness even whenrepairing mistakes and overcoming setbacks. Clarissa has a range of tools tooffer—including how to create physical and inspirational vision boards—that areprescriptive and easy for readers to implement and incorporate into theirlives. In her 256-page book, Clarissa empowers readers to acceptmistakes as valuable learning experiences and steppingstones. Her regime isneither complicated nor demanding, although it builds mental strength,toughness, and resilience. The chapters consist of empowering, progressivesteps comprising the “RE” concept:   RE-lease. RE-build. RE-new. RE-place. RE-establish.RE-invent. RE-inforce. RE-peat. RE-bound. RE-member. RE-ciprocal.  For the millions of women today with low self-esteem, TheSelf-Esteem RE-gime is an authoritative, systematic solution to achievetotal confidence and happiness. She was the first American to present Russian TV at theKremlin and has had two private audiences with Pope John Paul II honoring hersocial work. As the Ambassador to the United States, she actively helpedAfrican women win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011. Clarissa has recently been bestowed with the EntrepreneurialExcellence Award by the Women's Economic Forum and is the USA Chair for theG100 Club/All Ladies League for Television and Broadcasting, the Certificate ofGlobal Honor from Pune University, India, and the Diploma of Recognition fromthe National Italian American Foundation, Washington, D.C. Native American (Sioux) Proverb,“With all things and in all things, we are relatives.”

His wistful word paintings leave us yearning.—Holly George-Warren, author of Janis: Her Life and Music & Public Cowboy #1: The Life and Times of Gene AutryGerald Wagoner is a poet of uncanny particulars: “The child, as man, remembers the tang and texture of warm / summer apricots picked from / a tree that was never there.” The poems in When Nothing Wild Remains are “on speaking terms with the wind,” rich in imagery of a rural America he knows intimately....Wagoner's graphic poetry is cinematic and sobering in its frank depictions of what's missing, the wildness of a remembered past as seen in the light of an ongoing present.—Elaine Sexton, author of Drive

Episode 378: Fredericton, New Brunswick, in the sultry summer of 1949, was a community caught between the relief of peacetime and the tensions of post-war hardship. Along the margins of this tidy city lived George Hamilton (25) and Rufus Hamilton (23), two young black brothers whose lives had been fraught with poverty, exclusion, and desperation. These would be factors in the horrific actions they took, which would soon propel them into local infamy as the last men ever executed in Fredericton. At the heart of this tragedy was Norman Burgoyne: a respected, 35-year-old taxi driver, decorated war veteran, and devoted family man whose sudden, violent death would shatter the sense of safety in the city.

Don't Stop Believing, Part 3 A sermon by Pastor Richard Sfameni, Lead Pastor at Victory Church in Providence, RI I. Introduction Welcome and purpose of the podcast: sharing powerful messages from services. Victory Church's mission: reaching the lost, restoring the broken, reviving believers. Call to engagement: readiness to receive the Word of God. Message title: "Don't Stop Believing" (better phrased as "Keep Believing"). Central theme: The necessity and critical importance of living by faith. II. The Nature and Gift of Faith Biblical definition: Faith as the “substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is confidence in God's promises and His character. Every believer has a “seed/measure” of faith—faith given by God (Romans 12). Faith as a muscle: grows stronger through use, challenges, and spiritual exercise. Warning against comparing levels of faith among believers. Personal testimony: growth through spiritual trials and resistance, analogy to physical training. III. The Importance of Faith (Scriptural Emphasis) Essential for pleasing God: “Without faith it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6). Two elements: belief that God exists and that He rewards those who seek Him. Faith is required in every circumstance; God knows individual limits and provides grace for endurance. IV. Faith as the Primary Metric in the Church Examination of Paul's concern for faith in the church (1 Thessalonians 3). Paul's repeated focus on the faith of the congregation rather than external measures. What Paul didn't emphasize: not the size, budget, or facilities of the church. Critique of cultural (non-biblical) values in assessing church success. Dangers of equating “bigness” or material signs with spiritual greatness. Examples: 85% of American churches have fewer than 200 people, illustrating that size is not the key measure. Example from church history: Charles Spurgeon's conversion in a small chapel, demonstrating greatness is about spiritual impact, not size. V. Keeping Faith Central The importance of keeping “the main thing the main thing”—focus on the growth and exercise of faith. Individuals and churches must prioritize spiritual metrics over worldly metrics. VI. Lessons from the Heroes of Faith Review of “the cloud of witnesses” in Hebrews 11-12. Faith exemplars: those who faced challenges and saw God's faithfulness. The value of biographies/autobiographies of Christians for practical insights into a life of faith. Example: George Mueller's dependence on faith for provision. Recognition of current church members as examples of faith and faithfulness. VII. Hindrances to Faith Identifying and “laying aside every weight”: Bitterness, unforgiveness, distractions, and past failures. Analogy of running a race: shed anything that slows spiritual progress. Biblical example: Paul “forgets what is behind and presses on.” The need for “divine forgetfulness” and remembrance of what matters (the cross, God's promises). VIII. Perseverance of Faith Faith requires perseverance, endurance—keep moving forward despite obstacles and struggles. Examples of perseverance from secular figures (Walt Disney, Einstein, Churchill, Lincoln) to illustrate endurance. Claim: with the Spirit of God, believers have even greater potential for perseverance. Encouragement for listeners to resolve to succeed and trust in God's enabling power. IX. The Focus of Faith: Fixing Eyes on Jesus The source and goal (“author and finisher”) of faith is Jesus. Spiritual direction comes from focusing on Christ—not on people or circumstances. Analogy: Just as a runner focuses on the finish line, Christians must fix their gaze on Jesus. Biblical example: Peter walking on water by looking at Jesus, sinking when distracted by the storm (Matthew 14). Isaiah 26:3—Perfect peace comes from “mind stayed on Thee.” Hymn: “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” used to reinforce the point. The danger of spiritual distraction; importance of continual refocusing on Christ. X. The Cross as Spiritual North Point Story: Beach analogy—currents can pull us off course unnoticed, requiring realignment. The cross of Christ as a central, guiding reference for believers. Regular course corrections are necessary due to “the currents” of worldly distractions and sin. Importance of always coming back to Christ and the cross. XI. Application and Call to Action Self-examination: Is your faith growing? Are you focused on Jesus? Urge to lay aside distractions/weights and make the necessary spiritual adjustments. Invitaton for reflection, response, prayer, and renewed commitment as the service closes.

Tom Korski  Managing editor Blacklock's Reporter joins Alex Pierson to discuss: Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday made diplomatic history with Parliament in summer recess by announcing recognition of Palestine as a country.  https://www.blacklocks.ca/house-opposed-pm-decision/ The Department of Transport has sealed all records regarding Confederation Bridge tolls until November 2026. Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday had no comment on costs of ongoing subsidies to the Bridge operator whose investors included then-Transport Minister Anita Anand's husband.   Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem yesterday repeated assurances there will be no recession this year though the economy shrank in June. Macklem acknowledged an “unusual degree of uncertainty” in months ahead. https://www.blacklocks.ca/no-recession-here-macklem-2/     Federal employees who post partisan, self-serving or vulgar comments on social media even by anonymous personal accounts should expect scrutiny and criticism, says a new Treasury Board directive. The policy, the strongest yet, warned provocative posts on Twitter, Instagram and other social media undermined public trust in the Government of Canada. https://www.blacklocks.ca/staff-warned-on-twitter-talk/ The Canada Revenue Agency is so reliant on consultants an internal audit warns that managers developed “an employer-employee relationship” with contractors. The Revenue Agency spent millions on private advisors last year though it has more than 55,000 employees. https://www.blacklocks.ca/consultants-part-of-the-team/ Learn more about your ad choices.
