In this episode, I sit down with Dan Cocran, a young leader who is on a mission to help men in one of the most overlooked seasons of life—the years between 18 and 30. While many resources exist for married men, fathers, and established professionals, very few focus on young men who are still trying to find their footing in the world.   Dan shares the inspiration behind the Forging Your Future Young Men's Summit, an event designed to help young men build confidence, discover purpose, and develop the leadership skills they need to thrive in their careers, relationships, and communities.   We dive into the challenges young men face today—lack of mentorship, isolation, confusion around purpose, and the pressure to figure life out without guidance. Dan explains why community, mentorship, and intentional development are essential during this critical season of life.   We also talk about the responsibility fathers have to mentor the next generation—not just their own sons, but the young men around them. Because when men step up and invest in younger men, it doesn't just change one life—it changes families, communities, and future generations.   If you're raising sons, mentoring younger men, or simply want to understand the challenges facing the next generation of men, this conversation will open your eyes to why leadership and mentorship matter now more than ever.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to create leaders of families and communities [1:02] Reflecting on the uncertainty many men experience in their early twenties [1:46] Why the years between 18 and 30 are often overlooked in male development [2:24] The importance of mentorship, guidance, and community for young men [2:45] Introducing Dan Cocran and the vision behind the Forging Your Future Young Men's Summit [3:21] Why there are few resources designed specifically for men ages 18–30 [3:56] The modern challenges young men face when trying to find direction and purpose [4:12] Why fathers should care deeply about the development of the next generation of men [4:27] Reflecting on how many men feel lost during their early adult years [4:43] Why mentorship and leadership development can dramatically change a young man's trajectory     Five Key Takeaways The years between 18 and 30 are one of the most critical stages of development for men. Many young men struggle today because they lack mentorship, direction, and supportive communities. Fathers and older men play a vital role in guiding and investing in the next generation. Community and accountability help young men build confidence and purpose. When men intentionally mentor younger men, they strengthen families and communities for generations.       Links & Resources Roommates to Soulmates Cohort & Preview Call: https://thedadedge.com/soulmates The Men's Forge: https://themensforge.com Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1449): https://thedadedge.com/1449     Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: young men need guidance now more than ever. The years between 18 and 30 can shape the trajectory of a man's entire life. When young men have mentors, community, and strong examples to follow, they don't just survive those years—they build the foundation for leadership, purpose, and impact. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a father, mentor, or young man who could benefit from this conversation. Because when men step up to guide the next generation, the ripple effects are felt for decades. Go out and live legendary.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260312dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Psalm 95:6-7 Under His Care Imagine a shepherd who takes care of sheep. However, he is only concerned about making sure that they have food to eat. As long as the grass is growing in the field, nothing else matters. Or he only thinks about providing shelter. As long as the barn or the sheep pen is in good repair, he thinks he’s done his job. Such a shepherd won’t be a shepherd for long. The sheep may be well fed but have no protection from wolves that want to attack. They may have shelter but lack the basic food and water they need to survive. No, that would be unthinkable. A shepherd needs to attend to all the needs of his sheep. Today’s Bible verse invites us to worship the Lord because he is our Maker. Reflecting on all that we are and all that we have from the Lord who made heaven and earth leads us to joyful worship. But then he adds another even greater reason to worship. “He is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.” The God who made us is the Shepherd who cares for us. Who better to care for us than he? He knows our needs, inside and out. He knows the diseases that threaten our bodies and our souls. He sees the wolves that want to attack and destroy us. He knows the nourishment our hearts need not only to survive but to thrive. With his innocent life and death, Jesus crushed Satan’s power to accuse and destroy us, no matter what we've done. With the nourishing food of his Word, he feeds our faith to receive forgiveness and the life he won at the cross. No, not a single need escapes his notice. Not a single need is beyond his care. He consistently, lovingly, and perfectly provides for all our needs. And he blesses us every day with one goal in mind—to bring us safely into his eternal pastures, where we will praise him forever. Prayer: God, my Maker and my Shepherd, I worship and praise you for your perfect love and care for me. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

My guest today is Shyam Sankar, the CTO of Palantir Technologies. In this conversation, we explore the ideas that shape how Shyam thinks about technology, talent, and national power. We discuss the origins of Palantir's forward-deployed engineering model and the lessons he learned from Alex Karp about identifying people's "superpowers". We also talk about Shyam's fascination with the "heretics" of American history, the unconventional builders who challenged bureaucracy and created many of the systems that powered America's military and industrial success. Shyam argues that the United States must reindustrialize after decades of moving production overseas, and explains what we can learn from America's industrial past. In a new Colossus profile, our Editor in Chief Jeremy Stern tells the story of how Shyam became one of the most important but largely unseen figures behind Palantir, tracing his journey from immigrant roots to employee #13 and the architect of the company's success and distinctive culture.

In this episode of The Open Bedroom Podcast, I sit down with my husband Scott as we reflect on his recent breakup with a woman we'd been dating. We get real about the importance of relationship alignment, the challenges that come up when expectations around exclusivity and autonomy don't quite match, and how easy it is to overlook red flags when there's strong chemistry. Sharing from our own experience, we talk about why honest communication matters, how being clear about what we want can make all the difference, and the importance of choosing partners whose relationship goals truly line up with ours. Whether you're exploring modern, non-traditional relationship dynamics or just curious, we hope our conversation offers some thoughtful insights and support along the way.When the Match Doesn't Match (00:05:27)Diving into why the recent relationship didn't work, starting from dating profiles to real-life misalignment.Misalignment in Relationship Goals (00:07:56)Clarifying the disconnect in what each party wanted—deep connection vs. friends with benefits—and how this was communicated.Overlooking Red Flags Due to Chemistry (00:08:49)How strong chemistry and communication led both sides to ignore fundamental misalignments.Challenges of Standing Firm in Desires (00:10:09)The difficulty of holding to one's relationship needs when someone seems to check almost every box.Intellectual vs. Political Alignment (00:10:34)Discussing how intellectual connection was strong, but political and worldview differences existed.Navigating Political Differences in Dating (00:12:18)Jen reflects on dating app experiences and how political alignment is often a barrier, but can also be a source of connection.Red Flags vs. Misalignment (00:16:33)Exploring the difference between true red flags and simple misalignment in relationship goals.Ignoring Red Flags and Its Consequences (00:18:18)Why people ignore red flags, and the pain caused by trying to force a relationship despite clear misalignments.Autonomy vs. Security in Relationships (00:20:10)Scott and Jen discuss the struggle between wanting autonomy and the desire for security and exclusivity.Believing People When They Show You Who They Are (00:23:09)Learning to accept people's stated boundaries and not trying to change them; importance of alignment.Lessons Learned and Moving Forward (00:24:10)Jen shares takeaways: only date aligned people and avoid those who put up emotional walls.Confusion When Words and Actions Differ (00:25:03)How mixed signals—saying one thing but acting another—create confusion and hope for change.Reflecting on Past Relationship Dynamics (00:27:17)Jen wonders if things would have changed if they hadn't pushed for exclusivity, drawing parallels to her own past.Choosing Each Other and Responsibility (00:29:01)Scott discusses the responsibility and effort involved when someone chooses exclusivity and prioritizes the relationship.Scott's Capacity for Multiple Relationships (00:33:06)Jen praises Scott's ability to meet the needs of multiple partners and reflects on what they seek in future partners.Tailoring Relationship Dynamics to Your Needs (00:35:30)Advice to listeners: seek partners who want the same dynamic as you, whether it's polyamory, swinging, or exclusivity.Envisioning the Future and Alignment (00:36:34)Realizing misalignment when future visions don't include each other; importance of shared goals.Honesty About Needs and Desires (00:37:43)Emphasizing the need for self-honesty and seeking partners who are open to building what you want.Podcast Closing (00:39:15)Thanking listeners, encouraging feedback, and inviting them to subscribe and share the podcast.Follow The Open Bedroom podcast:https://www.instagram.com/theopenbedroompodcast

What does it take to go from “1 out of 10 chance we hit 100 episodes” to actually getting there?In this special milestone episode, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez reflect on reaching 100 episodes of Supra Insider. They share the raw truth about early imposter syndrome—having a Google Doc with pre-written questions, worrying about sounding stupid, focusing more on optics than enjoyment. They discuss the key turning points that made the podcast sustainable: bringing in an editor (reducing their workload from 6-8 hours per week to just recording), stopping the intro recordings, and setting fixed “sacred” time slots that never move.They explore what they've learned about guest selection (intuition-based, not heavily strategic), the tension between timeless vs. timely content, and what successful podcasts have in common—regardless of format. Whether it's Acquired (catalog value, timeless deep dives) or TBPN (daily, day-of relevant), the common thread is two co-hosts who genuinely enjoy each other, are obsessed with making it better over time, stay authentic, and avoid inorganic pressures that force the show to be something it isn't.If you're thinking about starting a podcast, struggling to make one sustainable, or wondering how to build something meaningful that fits your life—this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Irish business leaders have entered 2026 with the highest confidence and appetite for transformation across Europe and beyond, with 95% expecting a heightened pace of change this year, the highest of all 20 countries surveyed and compared with 82% across Europe. This momentum is matched by economic optimism, with 96% of Irish leaders expecting domestic revenue growth in 2026, surpassing the European average of 91% and marking the highest level of confidence among all European countries surveyed. This is according to Accenture's latest Pulse of Change survey, which reveals that despite leaders' strong confidence, there is a widening gap between leaders and employees when it comes to AI readiness, communication and overall confidence in technological change. Reflecting insights from 3,650 leaders and 3,350 employees globally (including 1,070 executives and 929 employees across Europe) spanning 20 industries and 20 countries, the research found that 94% of Irish leaders expect to increase investment in AI this year. A further 90% of Irish organisations expect their hiring plans to grow in 2026, compared with 71% across Europe. Despite this, only 44% of Irish employees feel secure in their job or role. The discrepancies continue when it comes to Generative AI (gen AI). Over nine in 10 (91%) Irish leaders said their experience with gen AI over the past year has changed the way they think about technology for the better, compared to 69% in the US and 79% in the UK. Employees, however, offer a contrasting perspective: only 51% said their experience with gen AI over the past year changed the way they think about technology for the better, compared with 61% across Europe. Confidence remains low among employees more broadly. Just over one in five (23%) say they can use AI tools confidently and explain them to others, compared with 33% in the UK and 25% across Europe. Only 27% feel very prepared to respond to technological disruption in 2026, including emerging technologies and AI, compared with 34% in Europe. This stands in contrast to Irish leaders, 57% of whom say they are well prepared to respond. Hilary O'Meara, Country Managing Director, Accenture in Ireland said: "Irish business leaders are demonstrating remarkable ambition when it comes to AI investment and reinvention. However, this research shows that for organisations to fully unlock the value of AI, they need to bring their people with them. Employees are asking for clearer communication and clarity in how AI will change their roles and skills. The companies that succeed in 2026 won't just scale AI technologies, they'll scale trust, transparency and capability, resulting in greater employee confidence. That is how Ireland will sustain its competitive edge and ensure AI becomes a driver of shared growth for both leaders and employees." Further findings from the research include: Over half (56%) of leaders say they plan to prioritise upskilling and reskilling their people for AI?enhanced work this year. 100% of Irish leaders say their organisation's workforce has the appropriate training to work with AI, yet only 55% of employees agree. Only 3% of Irish employees say their roles or responsibilities have undergone very significant change due to AI, compared with 7% in Europe and 19% in Switzerland. Communication appears to be a major contributing factor: only 17% of Irish employees strongly agree that leadership has very clearly communicated how AI agents and Agentic AI will impact the workforce, including changes to roles and required skills.

I speak with Es Tresidder, Ben Bardsley and Jon Morgan about our week-a-year traverse of the Grand Alpine Arc, from the Mediterranean to Vienna.Starting in 2016 at Menton near Nice, we have skied together on 9 iterations of this 'Speedy Tours' project where we utilise skimo racing kit for big mountain travel. February 2026 was our final week of the traverse - restarting at our 2025 finish point at Seeweisen we finished out a further 6 days to finish at St Stephen's Cathedral at the heart of Vienna.Reflecting on the project a few days later we discuss our tactics and tribulations. Some of the best memories from this long term project relate to working as a team towards a common goal - the moments of shared adversity or critical decision-making forging a bond between us. The project took 61 days over 9 weeks across 10 years, with only one of these days as a full stop with no forward progress due to weather conditions. We skied on every day of the traverse except the very first day, and the very last. Total distance was 1788km, 104,000m ascent and 504hrs.For more on Speedy Tours please see Episode 26 which was recorded with Ben Bardsley and Jon Morgan from a bivi hut on year 6 of the project.

Host Annika Brockschmidt sits down with historian Thomas Zimmer for a wide-ranging conversation about the politics of history in the age of Trumpism—and why Zimmer ultimately decided to leave the United States after years teaching at Georgetown and return to Germany with his family. Reflecting on the increasingly hostile climate for scholars and public commentators, Zimmer discusses how harassment, threats, and the broader erosion of democratic norms shaped that decision. From there, the conversation turns to a deeper historical question: how the Trump administration and its intellectual allies are attempting to reshape the story Americans tell about their past. Brockschmidt and Zimmer analyze recent speeches and rhetoric from figures like Donald Trump, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Senator Eric Schmitt, arguing that the contemporary right is moving away from the traditional language of American ideals toward a vision rooted in ancestry, heritage, and “blood and soil” nationalism. They place this rhetoric in historical context, tracing the long-running conflict between civic and ethnic visions of American identity—from the nation's founding through the Civil Rights era and into today's MAGA movement. The result, they argue, is not simply partisan messaging but a broader political project aimed at redefining who counts as a “real” American and rolling back the pluralistic aspirations that emerged from the civil rights revolution.

In this episode of This Is Kingdom, Grace, TJ, Talon, and Hollis talk about prophets, personal revelation, and why God has always used prophets to guide and rescue His people. Through stories from the Old Testament, reflections on Noah, and honest conversation about modern prophetic counsel, the hosts explore what it means to take a prophet's words seriously and trust that God sees what we cannot. The discussion centers on the role of prophets not as replacements for Jesus, but as voices that help lead us to Him.This episode is a reminder that prophetic counsel is more than good advice, it is a form of rescue. With insight on prayer, obedience, and the kind of world we are building for the next generation, the conversation invites listeners to gain their own testimony of living prophets and to ask more often what God might be trying to show them through His chosen servants.Chapters:00:00 INTRO04:31 "Prophets and Rescue"09:54 "Reflecting on Prophetic Guidance"10:56 "Legacy for Future Generations"14:18 "Legacy, Floods, and a Better World" 

Eva was working in a maternity home, a residential program that provides housing, prenatal care, and support for pregnant women in need, when she became pregnant with her first baby. Clear in her vision for birth, she chose midwifery care and planned a physiological, unmedicated birth at a midwife-run birth center. Her labor was smooth, relatively quick, and deeply supported. But the weeks that followed were far more difficult than she expected. Reflecting now, Eva realizes that while she prepared carefully for birth, she had not prepared for postpartum, that tender, life-changing time when your body is still shared ground. Today, Eva is a birth and postpartum doula. Her passion for supporting new families was born from her own experience navigating the beautiful and challenging transition into motherhood Find Eva on Instagram @lunanataldoulacare And at www.lunanataldoulacare.com If you love the show, I would greatly appreciate a review on  Spotify or Apple Podcasts!  Follow me on Instagram @healingbirth Do you have a birth story you'd like to share on the podcast, or would like to otherwise connect?

Jon Herold and Chris Paul return for another Devolution Power Hour as they unpack the fallout from last week's controversial episode and the growing fractures within the truth movement. Reflecting on the intense reaction to the Iran discussion, the hosts explore why major political events often create ideological purity tests inside communities that were once aligned. The conversation dives into the concept of competing “worldviews” that attempt to explain the same events. Jon breaks down how the Devolution framework differs from other interpretations of the post-2020 political landscape while still arriving at some similar conclusions. Rather than dismissing other perspectives outright, the hosts argue that different analytical paths can lead observers to overlapping but distinct understandings of what may be happening behind the scenes. From there, the discussion broadens into the psychology of truth movements and why they historically fracture over time. Jon and Chris examine the influence of mainstream media narratives, the persistence of the two-party paradigm, and the difficulty many people have in letting go of the political system they were raised to believe in. The episode ultimately challenges listeners to question where their assumptions come from and whether their analysis is truly independent of the same information pipelines they claim to distrust.

In this sermon, Embrace the Unknowing, we explore the story of the man born blind in John 9 and the surprising contrast between those who claim certainty and the one who simply admits, “I don't know.” While the religious leaders cling to their ideas about God, the healed man rests in the humility of experience: I was blind, but now I see. Reflecting on the limits of intellect, the wisdom of the mystics, and the practice of silence, this message invites us to loosen our grip on certainty and rediscover faith as trust, openness, and wonder.

To pray is "to lift up our minds and hearts to God."  Often, however, we lose a proper sense of the grandeur and awesome nature of God.  Routine makes us used to prayer and God becomes something taken for granted, ordinary, and even boring.  Reflecting on God's power and transcendence can spark us to a renewed love for him and new horizons in our prayer life.  

Coach Kris Hooper, in his first year as the head coach of the Ravenwood Raptors, has led the team to a historic position through a culture focused on meticulous attention to detail and collective buy-in. Reflecting on their recent performance, Hooper highlighted a tense "nail-biter" victory against Summit and a high-energy offensive win against Page before the team eventually fell to a formidable Brentwood squad in the region finals. Despite that loss, the Raptors remain alive and are preparing for a critical sectional game on Monday night, where a victory would secure their first-ever trip to the state tournament, often referred to as the "Glass House". Looking ahead to the matchup against Blackman, Hooper anticipates a grueling, low-scoring defensive battle where the first team to reach 30 points might emerge as the winner. He emphasizes that the game will be won in the paint, requiring his players to limit second-chance points and effectively rebound against Blackman’s standout post player, McDonald. To ensure his team is mentally and physically prepared during spring break, Hooper scheduled a concentrated Friday-Saturday practice block to allow for recovery time on Sunday, urging his seniors to embrace the magnitude of the moment as they attempt to make school history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On February 17, nine backcountry skiers were taken by an avalanche at Frog Lake, in the Northern Sierra Nevada near Truckee, California. Since then, the sense of loss and confusion over what happened has been overwhelming. This accident has impacted everyone in the Truckee and Lake Tahoe community on some level. Because of pending investigations, there are so many unanswered questions that will remain unanswered for a long time.As the community struggles to understand, people around the world continue to die in avalanches, including our friend, Stratton Matteson, who was taken by an avalanche in British Columbia a week after the Frog Lake accident. A gut punch made worse by finding out only minutes after we recorded the recap of our trip to Frog Lake. A trip to Frog Lake ending only 48 hours before the accident. Losing Stratton as we recorded made us realize it was too early to share. We needed more time to look inward and reflect.This episode is our second attempt, focused on the realizations we've had in the 18 days since the incident, and what we can all personally do to honor the lives lost, as well as move forward with compassion and a commitment to being safe and making smart decisions every time we step into the backcountry.We send our deepest sympathies to everyone involved in this tragic accident, and we encourage you to consider making a contribution to Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue.

Send a textIn this episode of The 44, a familiar frustration—Daylight Savings Time—becomes a doorway into a deeper conversation about the value of time. Reflecting on scriptures like Psalm 90, Ephesians 5, and James 4, we're reminded that our days are limited and every hour is a gift from God. While losing an hour of sleep may feel inconvenient, it can also serve as a powerful reminder to “redeem the time” and make the most of the opportunities we've been given. Instead of just adjusting our clocks, this episode challenges us to consider how we're using the time God has entrusted to us and to live each day with eternity in mind.

Sex After 50, No Apologies with Suzanne Noble [TESSA] In this enlightening episode, we dive deep into the evolving conversations surrounding sex, aging, and the open nest lifestyle with Suzanne Noble, a trailblazer in advocating for older adults embracing their sexuality. As a returning guest, Suzanne shares her journey since our last chat, discussing how her experiences have shaped her understanding of intimacy in later life. We explore the idea of being “open nesters” and how it reflects a new chapter filled with opportunities for growth, connection, and reinforced relationships with partners and family. SEX AFTER 50 Suzanne recounts the inception of her podcast, born out of her open relationship and a desire to discuss sex among older individuals. Following the release of the film “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande,” which centers around a 61-year-old woman’s journey to sexual fulfillment, Suzanne found herself thrust into the spotlight as a relatable voice for women discussing sex and aging. This episode chronicles her evolution as a content creator, detailing how she transitioned from starting this project with a partner to eventually providing insights and reflections independently, underscoring her status as a vital resource in the realm of sexual health for older adults. 2:01  The Birth of a Podcast 4:57  Insights from Expert Interviews 8:19  Redefining Relationships in Later Life 12:56 Expanding the Definition of Pleasure 19:28 Body Confidence and Acceptance 30:14 Reflections on Aging and Acceptance We delve into the often stigmatized subjects of erectile dysfunction and vaginal atrophy, with Suzanne sharing that these issues affect roughly 50% of individuals over 50. Reflecting on her personal experiences and those of her guests, she emphasizes the importance of open conversations surrounding these challenges. This dialogue highlights the lack of medical support and resources available to older adults, urging the need for healthcare providers to prioritize discussions about intimate health and pleasure as people age. Throughout the episode, we explore the notion of redefining pleasure beyond traditional paradigms, encouraging listeners to embrace a broader understanding of sexual intimacy that isn’t solely orgasm-centered. The discussion shifts towards the importance of maintaining curiosity and communication within intimate relationships, emphasizing how these elements can enhance sexual experiences as people navigate changes in their desires and bodies. As the conversation flows, Suzanne shares her insights on mens' roles in these conversations, particularly around penile health, while shedding light on tools like penis pumps and cock rings. We also touch on the importance of body confidence as we age, reflecting on communal spaces, such as nudist retreats, that celebrate diverse bodies and foster acceptance. This acceptance, Suzanne demonstrates, can empower individuals to express their needs and desires boldly, a pivotal aspect of healthy, fulfilling relationships. The episode concludes with reflections on the power of identity transformation in the later stages of life. Suzanne discusses her current casual relationship, emphasizing how this stage is about enjoying shared experiences and prioritizing pleasure in new and enlightening ways. This openness and self-acceptance, she argues, are essential for anyone navigating the complexities of intimacy in their golden years. With her enthusiastic and candid approach, Suzanne Noble provides inspiration for those in the open nest stage of life to reclaim their narratives around sexuality and aging, encouraging them to engage in meaningful conversations and experiences without shame. Tune in to discover how embracing curiosity, compassion, and courage can transform the landscape of intimacy for older adults.

“He's looking at me…”   Released on August 22, 1989, CLIMBIN' THE WALLS, the major label debut album from Martinsburg, West Virginia thrash metal savants WRATHCHILD AMERICA, is undoubtedly one of the most uniquely profound thrash metal albums in all of heavy metal history to be crafted by one of the most extraordinarily talented (and criminally underrated) bands in the entire genre.    And to think, for many metalheads back in the day, their very first experience with this album was in a LIVE concert setting, opening for Testament. Just imagine how blessed one would be to see a band as unbelievable as WRATHCHILD AMERICA (for the very first time) opening for an established act like Testament and being completely blown away after just one show, having NEVER heard the album before getting to see them LIVE!    “He's making eye contact…”   With a stylistic palette that blends thrash, heavy metal, and 70's classic rock, there is absolutely NO ONE else in metal who sounds ANYTHING like them.

When Bhavitha Mandava got word that she was cast as the Chanel Bride for Matthieu Blazy's highly anticipated Spring 2026 couture show, she approached the role the same way she tackled her research papers at NYU. She headed straight to a Paris library to pore over books on couture and watched every Chanel bride video she could find. “Then I came up with a story in my head. I was like, okay, I'm going to view the audience around me as if they're my friends and family, and I'm going to view the runway as if I'm walking down the aisle.” She told Chioma Nnadi on The Run-Through following her British Vogue cover.Mandava also made history as the first Indian model to open a Chanel show for the Métiers d'Art 2025 2026 fashion show, staged in a New York City subway station. In a full-circle moment, she wore an outfit reminiscent of what she had on the day she was first scouted.“I was on my way to grab biryani with a friend after getting rejected from an interview,” she recalled. “I was waiting for him at Atlantic Avenue when my now ‘mother agent' came up to me and asked, ‘Are you a model?' I said, ‘No.' And he said, ‘Do you want to be one?'”Initially skeptical, Mandava was ultimately persuaded by the prospect of paying off her school debts. Just a few months later, she had fully launched her modeling career and amassed more than 500,000 followers. “My dad is collecting every newspaper,” she said. “He's clipping all the articles about me like The New York Times. I don't even know how he got it. They don't ship to India.”Earlier in the episode, our fashion week coverage continues with Chloe and Arden Fanning Andrews, Vogue's beauty editor-at-large. Reporting live straight from the car after Jonathan Anderson's sophomore collection for Dior, they share their first impressions. Highlights from the show are: the epic lilypad shoes, Love Story's Paul Anthony Kelly dancing to the runway music, and the “wiglets” (you must listen to find out what that is!). Reflecting on the greenhouse setting, Arden made one bold prediction: “Sweat is in”. You heard it here first, folks!The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

It's a big day in the Storch household—Andy's daughter is turning 12!

This episode explores the dramatic transformation of the Apostle Paul in the Epistle to the Galatians 1:13–24, tracing his journey from zealous persecutor of the church to passionate proclaimer of Christ. Reflecting on Paul's own testimony, we examine his honest reckoning with a violent past, his refusal to minimize sin or be immobilized by guilt, and his wholehearted embrace of grace. Connecting his words with Epistle to the Philippians 3:7–9, we consider what it means to count former gains as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. From God's sovereign calling “from the womb,” to all he accomplished, and the astonished response of the early believers, this conversation highlights the power of repentance, divine calling, and a life lived for the glory of God alone.

As technologies like agentic AI advance, concerns about safety, misuse, and unpredictability grow. In today's episode, Gregory Magarshak, Founder and CEO of Intercoin, shared how he is working to address these challenges through his latest startup, SafeBot, and his broader mission to empower communities with responsible technology.Gregory explained, “We want our AI to be predictable. We want to engineer proper systems…SafeBot is exactly that: a sandbox where agents can build tools that are safe and auditable.” His focus on creating AI systems with built-in safeguards ensures that even the most advanced AI operates within controlled parameters. This vision prioritizes building trust and accountability, addressing real-world dangers like deepfakes or malicious bots.Gregory's experience in the Web3 space informs his approach to AI. He sees parallels between the early days of blockchain and today's evolving AI landscape. “People take the low-hanging fruit that gives them profits…but we could build serious, grown-up technology that's decentralized and safe,” he said. His work with SafeBot, launched just two months ago, aims to create the infrastructure for safe AI tools that are also decentralized, transparent, and aligned with ethical principles.Beyond AI, Gregory's company Intercoin is helping communities and organizations build blockchain-powered tools for collaboration, funding, and governance. From local community coins to global initiatives, he envisions blockchain as a way to create fairer and more transparent systems. Gregory shared that Intercoin is working on projects ranging from community currencies to tokenized crowdfunding efforts, even exploring opportunities to support national economies like Liberia with blockchain tools.Gregory's work isn't just about technology—it's about empowering people. By creating decentralized, secure platforms, he's helping individuals and communities regain control over their digital lives. Whether through AI or blockchain, his mission is clear: build systems that are not only innovative but also safe, ethical, and human-centered.If Intercoin or SafeBot is raising funds via regulated crowdfunding, don't miss the chance to support these transformative projects.tl;dr:Gregory Magarshak shared insights on making AI safer through transparent, sandboxed systems like SafeBot.He explained how Intercoin builds blockchain-powered tools for communities, focusing on decentralization and trust.Gregory discussed parallels between AI and Web3, emphasizing the need for mature, ethical innovation.He shared examples of using technology like Apple's app clips to empower community engagement securely.Gregory's vision centers on empowering individuals and communities with tools that prioritize safety and transparency.How to Develop Assembling Innovation As a SuperpowerGregory's superpower lies in his ability to combine existing technologies in innovative ways to create scalable, impactful solutions. He described it as having the confidence to connect the dots between different technologies and see the path to solve complex challenges. Reflecting on his approach, Gregory explained, “I have a knack for assembling the components in very innovative ways…Once I see the path, a lot of the steps can be done.”Gregory shared an example of rolling out a “groups app” designed to help communities securely organize and engage. An aha moment occurred when he leveraged Apple's little-known “app clip” technology, which allows users to load a lightweight app instantly without downloading it. By combining this feature with secure blockchain and encryption tools, Gregory created a seamless, safe way for communities to connect. This approach exemplifies how he uses his ability to integrate technologies to solve real-world problems.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Seek inspiration from existing tools: Explore ways to use underutilized technologies, like Apple's app clips.Think modularly: Focus on combining technologies rather than reinventing foundational layers.Identify the “path through”: Train yourself to see how A connects to B and beyond.Prioritize safety and ethics: Build systems that are secure and transparent by design.Leverage open standards: Use interoperable and standardized tools to create scalable, reliable solutions.By following Gregory's example and advice, you can make assembling innovation a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Tackled by 6 Cops During Meth Psychosis with Marley May | The Hopeaholics PodcastOn this episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, Marley May shares her powerful story of growing up around addiction, losing her father to suicide at 13, and spiraling into substance abuse as a teenager—including drinking at 14, using cocaine and meth with family members, and experiencing full-blown psychosis. She opens up about trauma, toxic environments, hitting emotional bottoms, and the moment she finally chose sobriety at 21. Now married, a mother, and active in recovery, Marley talks about young people in sobriety, finding fellowship, overcoming shame, and building a life she never thought was possible. This is a raw, honest conversation about generational addiction, accountability, faith, service, and the daily work it takes to stay sober and break the cycle.

While the wider world continues to embrace ubiquitous access for their digital products, compelling rumors indicate Sony might opt to go in the other direction. This is particularly surprising considering their pursuit of success on PC, openness in publishing on Nintendo Switch, and the shocking move to bring Helldivers II to Xbox. Then again, the numbers speak for themselves. It appears PlayStation has grossed somewhere between one and two billion dollars in total from their PC releases dating back to 2020, a comically small sum compared to their greater gross over that time, and an amount of money that may simply not justify further jeopardizing their closed ecosystem. Are we about to snap back to the old way of doing things? Many PlayStation fans will be pleased, if so. Plus: Wolverine gets a September release date on PS5, Horizon: Hunters Gathering and Marathon revel in concurrent playtests, Death Stranding 2 is coming to PC very soon, French publisher Nacon declares its insolvency, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Can Sony's first party teams truly be blamed for pitching games-as-a-service when it was clear that's what leadership wanted? Could it be possible that the secret Santa Monica Studio, Cory Barlog-directed game is Uncharted? Is Resident Evil 9's 10-12 hour runtime a selling point or a detriment? Will Sacred Symbols go another 400 episodes, or perhaps even 4,000? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

This week, I speak with Danyelle Toll, who is a devoted Christian wife and proud mother of three who finds her greatest joy in loving Jesus and pouring into others. Born and raised in the south, Danyelle carries her southern roots with pride, bringing warmth, grace, and a touch of charm to everything she does. A passionate servant leader, Danyelle is actively involved in both children's ministry and women's ministry, where she thrives in encouraging hearts and pointing others to Christ. Her love for God's word and desire to uplift others inspired her to write her devotional, Jesus Fills My Cup. As a survivor of lupus and fibromyalgia, Danyelle lives each day with gratitude and strength, using her journey as a testimony for God's love and faithfulness. She is a lover of prayer (her true love language), cute fashion, SEC football, good books, travel, and meaningful time spent with her family and friends. Danyelle's mission is simple: to reflect Jesus, offer hope, and remind others that His grace is always enough. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life. You won't want to miss this inspiring episode!*Theme Music "Blessed Time" by Ketsa 

Based on the final chapter of Prof Dr Ger Graus's book Through a Different Lens: Lessons from a Life in Education (Routledge), this conversation asks the most honest question of the entire series: So what?Ger examines what 40-plus years of educational work has truly changed — and what it hasn't.At the heart of the episode is a sobering reckoning: Wythenshawe, the deprived area of Manchester where Ger dedicated much of his career, remains in the bottom 25% of England's most disadvantaged communities — just as it was in 1999. Yet rather than despair, Ger finds meaning in the individual lives transformed, the schools that finally began collaborating, and the quiet but lasting legacy of the Education Action Zone that brought 29 schools together for the first time.Joining the conversation are educators, researchers, and colleagues who offer their own reflections on the book's significance — including insights from OECD Education Director Andreas Schleicher's afterword, and a passionate endorsement from Russian education researcher Dr. Sergey Kosaretsky.Key QuotesGer Graus on systemic change:"Certain dials are too big to shift by one person or by one small organisation. It's a concerted effort — and in order to see the big picture, all pieces of the jigsaw need to fall into place."Ger Graus on political impatience:"It's taken you since the 1944 Education Act to keep getting it wrong. Whatever made you think that in five years we would solve all your problems?"Andreas Schleicher (OECD), quoted from the book's Afterword:"The task is not to make the impossible possible, but to make the possible attainable."Dr. Sergey Kosaretsky on the book's message:"Education is not only schools. Education is not only universities. Education is a lot of things that children do every day — with their friends, their parents, with themselves."Mark Sylvester on Ger's philosophy:"One of the things he would say is that he wants to teach children, but also to teach humans how to learn."Key Takeaways1. Structural poverty is stubborn — but individual impact still matters. Despite decades of effort, the communities Ger worked in remain among England's most deprived. He doesn't shy away from this, but argues that transforming individual lives — like the girl from Wythenshawe who played Juliet in Italy and re-engaged with school entirely — is proof that the work was never wasted.2. Change in education takes generational patience. Politicians want results in five-year cycles. Ger argues that meaningful educational reform operates on a far longer timeline, and that unrealistic expectations are one of the biggest barriers to real progress.3. Lived and informal experience is education too. Multiple contributors highlight that education extends well beyond school walls — into homes, exchanges, community experiences, and play. Ger's career has been defined by championing this broader definition.4. The book is a call to action, not just a memoir. Colleagues urge policymakers — especially those working on England's forthcoming schools white paper — to read Through a Different Lens and draw from its hard-won lessons. It's described as "a textbook for all teachers, educators, and parents."5. Asking "so what?" is an act of courage, not defeat. Ger's willingness to interrogate his own legacy — particularly in the shadow of a cancer diagnosis — models the kind of honest, reflective leadership that education urgently needs.Chapters:00:07 - Introduction to the Series02:54 - Reflecting on Impact and Change10:41 - Reflections on Education and Poverty15:40 - The Importance of Lived Experience in Education19:42 - The Importance of Education Beyond Schools24:27 - The Role of New Leaders in Educationhttps://www.gergraus.comGet the book – Through a Different Lens: Lessons from a Life in Education

Ben Schilaty, a former BYU Honor Code administrator, is a social work professor and author who discusses his life as a gay Latter-day Saint. He details his professional background, and his current work with the Gather Conference. Schilaty shares his personal faith journey, explaining how he reconciles his sexual orientation with his commitment to the Church through prayer and personal revelation. He advocates for radical empathy and honoring the individual agency of LGBTQ members, whether they choose to stay in or leave the faith. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of sincere listening and building supportive communities where diverse experiences are validated. https://youtu.be/EzjYxEAfsYs Don’t miss our other LDS Faith Journeys: https://gospeltangents.com/tag/lds-faith-journeys/ Ben Schilaty: Navigating Faith and Identity Ben Schilaty is a professor of social work at Utah Valley University and author of A Walk in My Shoes. He shared a deeply personal look at his life as a gay Latter-day Saint. Schilaty, who humorously describes himself as “fame-ish” due to the parasocial relationships readers and listeners have formed with him, offers a unique perspective on the intersection of faith, identity, and belonging. Journey of Three Stages Ben describes his internal journey in three distinct phases. In his 20s, he felt “broken” and believed he needed to be “fixed” to fit the mold of a traditional Latter-day Saint marriage. In his early 30s, the pendulum swung, and he felt that if he couldn’t change, perhaps the Church had to change. Today, he focuses on “living in what is,” a practice of accepting reality as it is to find health and happiness. A pivotal moment in this journey occurred when Ben nearly left the Church after a painful heartbreak. Despite his parents' full support and their promise to honor his agency regardless of his choice, a prayerful encounter with Matthew 26 changed his path. Reflecting on Christ's prayer in Gethsemane, Ben felt a “clear and very annoying prompting” that his “cup” was to live his life within the teachings of the Church—a choice that transformed his religious practice from a burden into something life-giving. BYU Honor Code Providing a rare look into his four years as an Honor Code administrator at BYU, Ben dispels common myths about the office. While many assume the office is preoccupied with “morality” or LGBTQ+ issues, Ben notes that same-sex romantic behavior reports were uncommon, occurring only about ten times a year. Instead, the vast majority of his work involved academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and timecard theft. Building Bridges: The Gather Conference Ben is a co-founder of the Gather conference, a Christ-centered support system for LGBTQ+ Latter-day Saints and their allies. He describes it as a “middle space” compared to other organizations like Affirmation or Northstar. Gather serves a diverse group—about 80-90% of whom are active in the Church—including those in same-sex marriages, those choosing celibacy, and parents or leaders seeking to understand their loved ones better. Radical Acceptance and the Power of Story A major theme of the discussion was radical acceptance and honoring the agency of others. Ben emphasizes that: Listening is a Christlike act: Allies should listen to and validate the pain of those who feel they must leave the Church for their mental health. Forgiveness brings peace: Ben shared a powerful story of inviting a former Stake President over for dinner to find personal peace after a disagreement regarding his temple recommend. Prescription for Revelation: He warns against using his story as a “blueprint” for others, noting that God speaks to us as individuals and we each have our own “prescription” for personal revelation. Ben’s final invitation to the audience is simple: instead of just reading his book or listening to his podcast, invite the LGBTQ+ people in your own life to tell you their stories. What do you think of Ben's experience as an active, gay Latter-day Saint? 0:00 Introduction/Background 1:58 Faith and Identity 3:11 Turning Point and Parental Support 6:36 Supporting LGBTQ Members Who Leave 14:01 BYU Honor Code Office16:11 Religious Policy and Universal Standards 20:00 Celestial Kingdom Questions and Future Doctrine 34:28 Elder Clark Gilbert’s Call 39:10 Radical Acceptance and Social Work Philosophy 41:07 Gather Conference and Support Organizations 46:36 Accusations of Complicity 49:48 Social Work Training and Church History 54:22 Listening to Individual Stories Check out LDS Faith Journeys website.

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei – ZCNYC – 3/1/26 – Listen to this invitation from a small convent in medieval Japan—Tōkeiji—where generations of nuns practiced zazen before a mirror, contemplating this question: “Where is a single feeling, a single thought, in the mirror image at which I gaze?” Awareness does not stand apart from experience. What might this mean in a world that so often feels divided? – From The Hidden Lamp: Stories from Twenty-Five Centuries of Awakened Women: #34 — The Zen Mirror of Tōkeiji.
