In the eight years since he entered office and three since he left it, Donald Trump has time to rethink his approach.

Meanwhile the scratch team of big egos has moved to the periphery. But who is the 2024 team behind Trump? Is he listening to them? And will this alter the Donald Trump we see this year?Discover the story behind Trump's team with insights from the North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher and US special correspondent Katty Kay.The Global Story delivers insights from BBC experts around the world, with Katya Adler.

Ever since Hamas' unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7th, the BBC has been reporting on the ongoing Israeli response through air bombardment and ground offensives. Leading our coverage from the ground in Gaza was our correspondent Rushdi Abualouf, a Palestinian who has lived in the enclave his entire life. After being forced to leave their home in Gaza City, Rushdi and his family fled south with hundreds of thousands of others attempting to reach safety. He continued to report on the conflict, even as it threatened the lives of those closest to him, before he secured his family's escape to Turkey. Now covering the war from a distance in Istanbul, Rushdi caught up with Katya, to discuss the traumatic events he has lived through over the past three months.

The Ubo-aka is one of Africa's oldest musical instrument and keeping the sound of this ancient instrument alive has been challenging. Musician Gerald Eze says the number of young people playing this instrument has declined and that he wants to make sure this Igbo tradition survives by performing with the Ubo-aka and teaching people how to play it. Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja met Gerald when he was in Lagos a few months ago and learned more about why this instrument and sound are important to Igbo culture.Producers: Chukwumerije Obiejesi, Chigozie Ohaka, Richard Moran and Sharon Hemans.

What problem do you solve?  Richard will help business owners solve the problem of decision making and simplify it. Show Notes: Richard's message is to stop saying the word “Whatever” because you come across as a slacker. You also are not making a decision and every decision matters even the small ones. When you are faced with a decision – make it. Research shows that the decision you would make in the first few minutes is usually also the decision you would make 2 weeks later so go ahead and make the decision instead of delaying. Gut decisions are okay as long as you a very familiar with a topic. You can also use pros and cons or an algorithm such as if this then that. Do not let your emotions be a part of your decision-making. Be self-aware of your feelings. You need to clarify your intentions. If you have the clarification it makes your decisions easier. Sometimes, it can be very efficient to make the same decision. Richard's book is Never Say Whatever: How Small Decisions Make a Big Difference Richard Moran's Best Small Business Tip: Pay attention to the small decisions. Sometimes it's the small decisions that really end up mattering.

Never Say Whatever: How Small Decisions Make a Big Difference by Richard A. Moran https://amzn.to/42NCt9B Life Is Choices. Make Them. Calling in late to a Zoom meeting with kids playing in the background. Avoiding optional meetings. Dodging low-profile assignments. Giving H.R. lunch-and-learns a hard pass. There are countless ways we've become the apathetic version of our corporate selves―dismissing what seems unimportant with a big shrug emoji. Whatever. Who cares? In Never Say Whatever, veteran author, radio host, and former college president Dr. Richard Moran reveals with stunning clarity why you should care: The W-word is a career killer. In fact, he likens it to the similarly NSFW F-bomb. It can be a whole sentence, an attitude, an "OK," or nothing at all. It's a word that comes in handy and can be habit forming, but the consequences of using it as your fallback response can have drastically negative results over time. The numerous daily decisions we make, both at work and in life, are small chances to make big impact. Understanding this―and banishing that "meh" attitude―is key to success. Written with unflinching honesty, humor, and interviews with corporate decision makers, Never Say Whatever offers a blueprint to help everyone understand why and how the choices we make, even the minor ones, are in fact pivotal to professional development and career trajectory. For young graduates just starting out to seasoned professionals seeking ways to reenergize their careers, it's a timely call to get on track, and stay on track, with boosted productivity, an impressive personal brand, and a fortified gameplan for a supercharged career.

Life can be a lot like Chutes and Ladders, the classic children's board game, says Richard Moran, author of a new book, NEVER SAY WHATEVER: How Small Decisions Make a Big Difference (McGraw Hill; April 11, 2023).  Each time you say “whatever” you slide down a chute, but each time you make a decision, you have the potential to climb a ladder and move forward.  Moran, host of the syndicated show “In the Workplace,” observes that “whatever” has become a flippant remark that is essentially a dismissal of responsibility.  David, our host, and Richard agree that “whatever” is a “four-letter word,” similar to the F-word, S-word, N-word and others.  It's toxic, disrespectful, and can be irresponsible.  Moran takes this a step further.  He believes at work using the “w” word can be a career killer with short-and long-term consequences.  And in personal relationships it's toxic.  It almost always defers or eliminates a decision or a choice that should be made. But the w-word is a habit.  A bad one.  Join this discussion if you're tired of Gen Z or any other generation dismissing your ideas, concerns, and/or commands as a leader with “whatever…”  Moran has data to back up his conclusions, and ways to overcome this bad habit.  Join this podcast to learn more.   Moran has served as a CEO, a college president, a venture capitalist, and a top-level consultant.  He has worked for or with some of the world's leading organizations including Accenture, Apple, News Corp, American Airlines, PG&E and many others.  He prides himself on his matter-of-fact manner of consulting and believes that many parts of the business world are needlessly complicated. Moran holds a Ph.D. in organizational behavior but his work is not academic.  Research is important, but he believes what is just as critical are the observations one can make by being in the “trenches” of business.  His observations are candid, humorous, and true.   Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Manage2Win ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

In NEVER SAY WHATEVER, Moran points to studies that show how people who are comfortable with decision-making are more successful in their careers and happier in their lives. He asks leaders in business, sports, and media to share their experiences with the word or attitude of "whatever," The resounding response is that it is a sign of shirked responsibility and carelessness. Many people struggle to make decisions (big or small), and Moran takes a deep dive into all the factors involved in decision-making, and they are explored in chapters that can be read in any order.

In NEVER SAY WHATEVER, Moran points to studies that show how people who are comfortable with decision-making are more successful in their careers and happier in their lives. He asks leaders in business, sports, and media to share their experiences with the word or attitude of "whatever," The resounding response is that it is a sign of shirked responsibility and carelessness. Many people struggle to make decisions (big or small), and Moran takes a deep dive into all the factors involved in decision-making, and they are explored in chapters that can be read in any order. NEVER SAY WHATEVER clarifies the nuances of decision-making and how even the smallest decisions can affect your career—and your life.

Certain philosophies describe us as prone to forms of attachment that are illusory, and promise to indemnify us against the hazards of life by exposing such illusions. One such hazard is that of transience and temporal life itself, and it is sometimes urged that since the present is the only genuine reality, attachments to the past or the future are forms of illusion we can and should be free of. In the 2021 Royal Institute of Philosophy Annual Cardiff Lecture, Richard Moran questions the ideal of “living in the present” and so escaping the contingencies and loss that are part of temporal life.Richard Moran is the Brian D. Young professor of philosophy at Harvard University. His primary philosophical interests are in the philosophy of mind and moral psychology, aesthetics, the philosophy of literature, and the later Wittgenstein. His book, "Authority and Estrangement: An Essay on Self-Knowledge" was one of the most lauded and influential works in the field in recent times. His most recent book is "The Exchange of Words: Speech, Testimony and Intersubjectivity". See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

BIO: Richard Moran is a Silicon Valley investment and operations veteran. He is General Partner at Tonic BioVentures, an early-stage life sciences venture firm. STORY: Richard was impressed by the success record of a young man, so much so that he got his company to invest $6 million to build a business. A few months later, the young man misbehaved in front of customers. Richard reprimanded him, but he did the same thing again and had to be fired. Richard's company lost $6 million. LEARNING: Pay proper attention to the findings of the due diligence. Don't be distracted by past track records. Be careful of key man risk where the success of your investment is hinged on one person.   “Sometimes past performance is not an indicator of future performance in investing.”Richard Moran  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/richardamoran/ (Richard Moran) is a Silicon Valley veteran in both investing and operations. He is General Partner at https://tonicbioventures.com/ (Tonic BioVentures), an early-stage life sciences venture firm. Previously, he was the President of Menlo College.

He has a syndicated show, “In the Workplace” on CBS Radio, and is an “Influencer” on LinkedIn where he is a regular contributor but never reads the comments. Worst investment everA young man, who had been very successful, wanted to start a new company and needed $6 million to start it. Richard was blinded by his success story and immediately got his company to invest in him. They gave the young man the $6 million he needed to build this company. The success of that company was all hinged on him because he was its core. A couple of months later, the young man behaved inappropriately at a trade show. The partners went to Richard about what to do. According to Richard, the partners had two options. One was to fire him, in which case, they'd lose $6 million. The second option was to coach him; in this case, he might change or ignore it; if he ignored it, no one would want to be involved in his company. Richard didn't want to lose the $6 million, but he also didn't want to keep him on. So he brought him into his office, yelled at him, and warned that he'd fire him if it happened again. The young man did something similar again. So he was fired, and Richard's company lost $6 million. The sad part is that there were hints of the young man's bad behavior during due diligence before Richard made the first investment. But he ignored it. Lessons learnedPay proper attention to the findings of the due diligence. Don't be distracted by past track records. Sometimes past performance is not an indicator of future performance in investing. Whatever you do, know you'll always get caught. Stay current. Andrew's takeawaysBe careful of key man risk where the success of your investment is hinged on one person. Remember to talk to people who don't like that company or have had a bad experience when you do your due diligence. Actionable adviceDon't go after the shiny objects that everybody wants. When doing your due diligence, it's not just about the person or the company but also about the market. Find out what's happening in that category.

On 12th January 1977, the family living at Pottery Cottage woke to find a winter wonderland scene outside after heavy snow had fallen overnight. Richard Moran went to work as normal, Gill Moran took their 10-year-old daughter, Sarah, to school and then went to work herself whilst Gill's parents, Amy and Arthur Minton, stayed home at Pottery Cottage with Arthur chopping wood for a fire and Amy making soup for lunch later that day. None of them could have possibly known that escaped prisoner, Billy Hughes, was making his way towards their home looking for a place to hide. When he stumbled upon Pottery Cottage, it would be the start of a living nightmare for the family...Sources -https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pottery-Cottage-crime-shook-Britain/dp/1999702670/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=pottery+cottage&qid=1613901952&sr=8-1https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pottery-Cottage-Murders-terrifying-prisoner-ebook/dp/B07TWVP6DB/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=pottery+cottage&qid=1613901991&sr=8-3Music by AlexisOrtizSofield from Pixabay See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
