Andrew Tate's lawyers told a Miami judge the $50 million yacht was a paid promo, and the supercars were rented. They called the flex theatrical. They said they were playing a role. In 2023, Jason Whitlock said everything out of Tate's mouth was a lie. In 2025, he said the money would be taken. The August 25, 2026, filing is the receipt.

Trout and Berry Days chairperson Allison Richman and Paradise Lion's Club President Jesse Gibbs -- Dan Johnson and F. Ross Peterson decry deceptive tactics in local campaign
Mark 10:17-31 I Sam Cassese I If I were a Rich Man...I. Money and morality are spiritual dead ends.II. To have eternal life we must follow Jesus as Lord.III. Wealth is uniquely competitive for the throne of our hearts.IV. What you leave for Christ is no comparison to what you've gained in Christ.What are you running after?
On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (08/20/26), Hank responds to the assertion that Jesus had teachings of questionable morality, such as barring heaven to the wealthy, approving of slavery, and condemning sinners to hell.Hank answers the following questions:I've heard your comments on the book Heaven is for Real, but didn't the Rich Man and Lazarus see each other in Luke 16? Jim - Calgary, AB (6:38)Was there a time when God told Israel to punish evil, but because they didn't, God decided to punish them for not punishing the evil ones? Richard - OK (15:11)I was told that the Bible is more of a guide, and that heaven is not real and is just a state of being we find within us. How do I respond to that? Sarah - Kansas City, MO (18:11)Can you simplify what you said about the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, regarding how they could see without physical eyes? Peter - Bozeman, MT (21:23)Can you read a passage of Scripture and get something out of it, and then years later come back and get something different out of it? Peter - Bozeman, MT (24:41)
FROM ROLLING STONE: Jonathan Richman moved from Boston to New York as a teenager in hopes of sleeping on Lou Reed's couch. That influence shows on the two-chord anthem “Roadrunner.” Recorded in 1972 but not released until 1976, Lovers turned the tough sounds of the Velvets into an ode to suburban romanticism. “Rock & roll was about stuff that was natural,” Richman said. “I wasn't about drugs and space.” Songs like “Pablo Picasso,” “Girl Friend,” and “Dignified and Old” touched generations of punk and indie-rock innocents. Note From Rob: Some of the audio for the sfx and music sucks because my computer sucks. How can a MacBook bought this year not handle RECORDING A PODCAST? I am too lazy to fix it all, and the music is not that great anyway.

Every enterprise leader has heard the numbers by now as billions poured into licences, seats and tokens, with productivity gains still trailing well behind the promise. On a recent episode of Tech Transformed, host Christina Stathopoulos sat down with Jay Richman, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Multiverse, to unpack why so many organisations remain stuck in what he calls "tinker mode" and what it actually takes to move past it.Richman's view is shaped by a career spent at the sharp end of three separate technology shifts. A decade at Spotify saw him build out the company's advertising business and early subscription platform from scratch. Roughly four years at Amazon followed, working on agentic AI systems within the advertising division, effectively rebuilding the old-fashioned creative agency model using specialised generative media tools. Four months ago, he relocated from New York to London to join Multiverse, drawn by a mission he sees as almost the reverse of his previous work. Rather than using people to make machines smarter, the task now is training machines to make people smarter. That framing sits at the centre of this conversation.The AI Adoption GapRichman suggests that the widely reported gap between AI spend and AI-driven output isn't really a technology failure; it's a human one. Tools sit unused, licences go unopened, and organisations struggle to move employees from curious onlookers to confident, habitual users. Multiverse's answer is what it calls the "adoption layer", which is a diagnostic approach that pinpoints where skill gaps actually sit across a workforce, builds tailored learning paths around them, then embeds coaching directly inside the tools people already use, whether that's Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT.Crucially, Richman distinguishes between what he wryly terms "token maxing" and value creation. Blunt incentives, leaderboards, usage dashboards and mandates to switch from manual coding to AI-assisted development. All this can help people over that first hurdle, and he admits to having used some of these tactics himself. But the real measure of success has to be defined customer by customer, tied to a specific business outcome, not simply how many prompts someone fired off in a week. As he puts it, the value of any given AI initiative can only be judged against what that particular organisation set out to solve in the first place.Human Skills AI Can't ReplaceOne of the most interesting parts of the discussion explores how generative and agentic AI are reshaping team structures. Richman describes a flattening of traditional boundaries: product managers writing code, designers contributing to technical documents, and engineers drafting strategy papers. Functions that were once tightly specialised, such as a dedicated user-research team and a standalone copywriting role, are increasingly being absorbed as skills within more generalist, multi-hatted employees. At the same time, he notes, the opposite is happening at the model layer, with AI agents becoming ever more specialised. The result, in his telling, is smaller teams working with far greater autonomy and considerably less coordination overhead than in years past.Asked what he prioritises when hiring now, Richman is candid that mastery of a single discipline matters to him less than certain behavioural traits: curiosity, high agency, sound judgment. He shares an interview technique he relies on, asking candidates how they spent their time during the pandemic lockdowns, as a rough proxy for whether someone tends to seize initiative or simply wait for circumstances to dictate their next move.Moving Fast Without Cutting CornersOn responsible deployment, Richman insists culture has to start at the top. Leaders, he argues, need to be visibly hands-on and honest about their own gaps in knowledge rather than issuing mandates from a distance. At Multiverse, that meant lifting caps on AI coding tools, resetting the expectation that new work should be AI-generated by default, and investing heavily in quality assurance and evaluation frameworks so that human reviewers still hold a meaningful checkpoint before anything reaches customers. He contrasts this with the slower, more cautious approach he sees at many other organisations — one he believes is not only less efficient but also less likely to stick once the initial push fades.Measuring What Actually MattersTying this back to the earlier point about value over volume, Richman suggests the real test of an AI initiative is how closely it maps to a business's own stated objective, not adoption figures in isolation. That means starting with what a customer or team is actually trying to achieve, building learning around the specific gaps standing in the way, and only then judging success by whether the resulting behaviour change shows up in the metrics that organisation already cares about.The conversation closes on a personal note, with Richman sharing the advice he'd give his own children as they weigh careers in a fast-shifting landscape: run towards disruption rather than away from it. Having entered the workforce at the tail end of the dot-com boom, he sees clear parallels with the present moment, a period, in his words, where nobody can credibly claim expertise, which makes it as good a time as any to jump in. For organisations still puzzling over why their AI investment hasn't translated into measurable returns, Richman's message is simple: the technology was never really the difficult part.

The sermon explores the biblical command for believers to exercise long-suffering patience while awaiting the Lord's return, using the metaphor of a farmer waiting for harvest. It contrasts the corrupt, immediate greed of the rich with the faithful, future-oriented hope of the righteous who trust in God's ultimate justice. By referencing the endurance of prophets like Jeremiah and Daniel, as well as Job, the text encourages Christians to remain steadfast and active in opposing evil without resorting to vengeance. The message emphasizes that while believers must sound the alarm against injustice, they must ultimately leave judgment to God, maintaining a Christ-honoring witness amidst frustration. This perspective offers comfort by affirming that God sees all wrongs and will restore righteousness in His perfect timing. What does James 5:7-11 mean? What does it mean to "be patient until the coming of the Lord"? What is biblical patience? How should Christians respond to injustice? Why does God allow evil people to prosper? What does "the Judge standeth before the door" mean? Is the return of Jesus imminent? What does it mean to establish your heart? What is the difference between patience and passivity? What does the farmer represent in James 5? What is the "precious fruit of the earth" in James 5? Why does James compare Christians to a farmer? What are the early and latter rains in the Bible? Does James teach the imminent return of Christ? Should Christians fight against evil? Should Christians expose evil? Does the Bible tell Christians to seek justice? How can Christians be patient while waiting for Christ? What does "grudge not one against another" mean?
What happens when a former client returns for a live pricing coaching session? Mark Richman, CEO of Skeleton Key, shares how applying Mark Stiving's value-selling principles helped increase his close rate from 35% to 70% by focusing on customer outcomes instead of pitching solutions. Now, he returns to the hot seat to workshop his toughest pricing challenges in real time—from buyers who can't quantify value to outcome-based pricing and pricing for emotional outcomes. This isn't another pricing interview; it's a front-row seat to a CEO getting his sales strategy challenged, refined, and rebuilt in real time.

Watch Mark Stiving challenges Mark Richman's sales strategy and uncover the hidden pricing opportunities he almost missed. "That willingness to not talk about what we do and that focus on why the client's there in the first place and how you can really help them achieve the outcome they want has transformed the way I sell. I went from about a 35% close rate to a 60 to 70% close rate." — Mark Richman Topics Covered: 01:30 – A Live Pricing Coaching Session Begins.

A regulatory deadline becomes a lesson from Mark on willingness to pay and pricing confidence. 36:10 – The Biggest Lesson from the Coaching Session. Mark shares one pricing experiment every business should try, while Richman explains the sales lesson that changed everything. Key Takeaways: "You're not exploiting the customer by charging for value. The only question is whether the customer believes the price is fair." — Mark Stiving "What matters isn't your hourly rate. What matters is whether it's a fair exchange for the value you're creating." — Mark Richman "Raise your prices. Win fewer deals at higher prices and make more money." — Mark Stiving "Helping clients uncover the value of solving the right problem changed everything about how I sell." — Mark Richman Connect with Mark Richman: Website: https://skeletonkey.com Email: mark.richman@skeletonkey.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markrichman/ Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com
Our study in Luke 12 continues in vs, 10 of Luke chapter 12. In this lesson, Dr. Mitchell covers two sections.The first follows on from our last lesson on confessing the Lord Jesus before people. The focus is on how the Holy Spirit will teach one what to say in one's testimony to others. The second section has to do with being aware of every kind of covetousness.Dr. Mitchell relates in detail the danger of covetousness for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses . In 1 John 2:16 the pride of life is the boasting of one's possessions, either personal possessions, or personal position. The Lord goes on to provide an applicable parable of the fool who laid up treasure for himself and was not rich toward God.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Luke 12:10.

Sometimes it begins with four simple words: "LET'S PLAY IT BY EAR."Those words taught Michele Richman that life isn't asking us to control every outcome.

Embracing the Unknown A Conversation with Sue Jay Johnson and Joe Richman (Season 3 | Episode 248) Welcome back, beautiful listeners, to another reflection from the host’s chair of The Open Nesters Podcast. As Amir and I wrap up this incredible season, we had the absolute privilege of welcoming back two of our favorite returning guests, Sue Jaye Johnson and Joe Richman. Since we last spoke with them a couple of years ago, they have fully transitioned into this vibrant, sometimes chaotic chapter we affectionately call “open nesting.” Sitting down with them felt like catching up with old friends who have just returned from a profound expedition, brimming with wisdom about relationships, sexuality, and the spiritual journey of aging. OPEN NEST VS EMPTY NEST RELATIONSHIP TRIPPING FOR COUPLES INTIMACY AFTER KIDS LEAVE RADICAL TRUST IN PARENTING SPIRITUAL GROWTH IN MARRIAGE Joe and Jaye work with groups/couples in which they see inside each other’s relationships. You can learn more here: Relationship Tripping. And you can hear our first interview with these two remarkable people in our first interview – Rituals, Adventure and Relationships. The Pleasure Report THE PLEASURE REPORT, created by writer, journalist, and filmmaker Sue Jaye Johnson, is a publication and community dedicated to investigating our relationship to pleasure. We are defining pleasure in an infinitely broad sense. We interrogate our pleasure in grief, in rage, in pain, in culture, in politics, and in our longing for a better world. Each month we have a theme. We can experience pleasure passively, or, we can MAKE our pleasure. Together, we will explore the tenants of pleasure: attention, awareness, sensation, and acceptance. You will learn tools, be exposed to new ways of thinking, and being in your body, in this world. We are an engaged community of pleasure researchers. I invite you to join us. #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e { border-radius: 14px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px; } .btn-shadow#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e { box-shadow: 0 1px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.12); transition: box-shadow 0.2s ease-out, opacity 0.45s; } .btn-shadow#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover { box-shadow: 0 5px 11px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.18), 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); } .btn-3d#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e { box-shadow: 0px 2px 0px 0px #4a29e6; } .btn-3d#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover { box-shadow: 0px 2px 0px 0px #0c1d2b; } .btn-flat#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e { box-shadow: none; } .btn-flat#default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover { box-shadow: none; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e.ico-right-side > i { margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 8px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e > i { margin-right: 8px; font-size: 16px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:not(:hover) { border-width: 0px; border-color: #1ee3cf !important; color: #ffffff; background: #6d4efe !important; padding: 12px 18px 12px 18px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:not(:hover) * { color: #ffffff; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover { border-width: 0px; border-color: #0d3f67 !important; color: #1ee3cf; background: #0d3f67 !important; padding: 12px 18px 12px 18px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e:hover * { color: #1ee3cf; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e.ico-right-side > i { margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 8px; } #default-btn-9c94faa970191e3eb776646e2ee4ca9e > i { margin-right: 8px; }Subscribe to the Pleasure Report The Grief and Grace of Letting Go Transitioning away from full-time parenthood isn’t just about reclaiming your living room or enjoying a quieter house; it is a profound and often jarring emotional shift. Sue was incredibly candid about her own experience, describing the departure of her kids as a deeply moving process that she intentionally leaned into during an artist residency on Cape Cod. Letting go of the daily caretaking role requires us to face our own identities outside of being “Mom” or “Dad,” which can be utterly terrifying if we don’t hold space for the transition. “It’s a little mini death, you know? It’s like a death of an era… I wanted to just feel all the feelings of it. Because I knew if I didn’t, it would come out sideways.” – Sue Jaye Johnson Practicing Radical Trust One of the most challenging aspects of this new chapter is stepping back from fixing our children’s problems, a hurdle Sue and Joe tackled through an intentional practice of radical trust. They committed to trusting their younger daughter’s decisions completely for two months, consciously stopping themselves from jumping in with solutions or unprompted advice as she navigated her gap year. This wasn’t a passive withdrawal, but an active, disciplined choice to let their child fall, fail, and ultimately succeed on her own terms. It is a powerful reminder that our ultimate job is to raise capable adults, and at a certain point, our constant intervention actually hinders their magnificent growth. Fierce Independence and Deep Connection What truly struck me during our conversation was how beautifully Sue Jaye and Joe balance their deep, intentional connection with a fierce sense of personal independence. They aren’t afraid to travel separately—Joe taking solo trips to explore, and Sue Jaye embarking on adventures with her girlfriends—recognizing that time apart only enriches the energy they bring back to their shared New York City apartment. This level of autonomy requires a rock-solid foundation of security and a mutual understanding that personal growth doesn’t threaten the relationship; it actively feeds it. Relationship Tripping and the Love Lab Joe and Jaye aren’t just navigating this territory quietly; they are actively building tools and communities for others through their initiatives like Relationship Tripping and the Love Lab. They shared incredible insights from their six-week programs, where they guide couples through the universal stumbling blocks of long-term intimacy by turning the relationship itself into a vehicle for exploration.

Have you ever felt a nudge to share your story... but then that little voice inside whispered, "What if people judge me?" The truth is, every one of us has a story worth telling. But finding the courage to tell it—that's where so many of us get stuck. Today's guest knows that journey well. Joining me is Michele Richman, a former prosecutor, attorney, leadership coach, and Chief People Officer who has spent years helping others grow both personally and professionally. Yet one of her greatest transformations didn't happen in a courtroom or a boardroom—it happened when she found the courage to embrace her own voice and share the stories that shaped her life. In this conversation, Michele shares how discovering her core value of courage changed everything. We talk about overcoming fear, embracing authenticity, and why our most meaningful stories—whether they're about joy, grief, parenting, or stepping outside our comfort zone—often become the bridge that connects us to others. If you've ever wondered whether your story matters... or if you've been waiting for permission to share it... this episode may be exactly the encouragement you've been looking for.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal today!What happens when our prayers become so filtered and "spiritual" that we lose the raw honesty of what we actually desire? In this episode, Jaime and Alana take a 180-degree and head straight to Broadway. They dive into the concept of the musical theater "I want" song, using Tevye's famous track "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof as a surprisingly profound template for prayer. They discuss the danger of censoring our conversations with God, the freedom of bringing our most "frivolous" desires to Him, and how peeling back the layers of wanting money or status often reveals a pure, God-given need for security, respect, or peace. Alana highlights how teaching middle schoolers about Disney character motivations led her to realize that every superficial desire has a deeper "prayer behind the prayer." Meanwhile, Jaime gets remarkably candid about a recent camping trip, unpacking her own guilt over wanting to look good in a swimsuit and tracing it down to a beautiful, core desire to remain healthy, strong, and capable of caring for her family. Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on stripping away the "judgy Christian hat" that shames women for wanting a financial cushion, beautiful spaces, or basic human respect. From the reality of a mother's innate drive to provide, to Tevye's ultimate wish for simply having the time to sit and pray, they offer a refreshing perspective on approaching God exactly as you are—without pretending to be someone you aren't. Whether you are stressing over your bank account, feeling guilty for caring about your appearance, or simply longing for a more conversational, authentic relationship with the Lord, we hope this episode encourages you to stop editing your prayers, uncover the true desires of your heart, and confidently bring your uncensored self to the Father.

In this message, we dive into Jesus's powerful parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus from Luke 16:19–31. This challenging story completely turns our cultural assumptions upside down, revealing that material prosperity in this life is not the final measure of God's blessing or the condition of our souls. Through this text, Jesus shines a spotlight on our hearts, exposing the danger of self-indulgence and trusting in worldly possessions rather than God's Word. Ultimately, we are challenged to look beyond our own comfort, see the needs of those around us, and let Scripture truly transform how we live. Join us as we examine what it means to live with eternity in view and align our hearts with the heart of God.Connect with us!Missioncity.church

July 5, 2026We live in a world that ascribes value and status based upon wealth, creating an enduring divide between "The Have's" and "The Have Not's". However, for those "in Christ," status is defined not by wealth but by our secure position as children of God. This identity will be constantly tested by worldly pressures, requiring us to remain steadfast by fixing our eyes on Him, refusing to let the world's appraisal dictate our worth, and instead viewing ourselves and others through the lens of how God sees His Son.James 1:9-11

Basketball is no longer just an American game. It is a global business, a cultural force and a powerful case study in how leadership, talent development and brand growth can move across borders. On this episode of Brand Slam, hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata chat with Ryan Richman live from Tokyo. Richman is head coach of Alvark Tokyo, assistant coach for the Japan Men's National Team and a former assistant coach with the Washington Wizards. With experience across the NBA, international basketball and player development, Richman brings a unique perspective on how the game is growing around the world and what leaders can learn from the way elite teams are built. The conversation explores Richman's coaching journey from the NBA to Japan, what championship cultures have in common and why chemistry, accountability and trust often separate good teams from great ones. He also shares what Americans may still underestimate about basketball's rise throughout Asia, including the impact of players like Rui Hachimura and the growing influence of the game in Japan. For marketers and brand leaders, the episode offers a broader lesson in multicultural connection, leadership and continuous improvement. Richman discusses how the Japanese principle of kaizen, the philosophy Toyota lives by as owner of Alvark Tokyo, has shaped his approach to coaching, development and team building. At its core, this is a conversation about more than basketball. It is about how global brands, leaders and organizations grow by understanding culture, building trust and committing to the long game.

New reporting says that the number of ultra-rich continues to grow around the world and especially here in the U.S. Jay Evensen at the Deseret News writes that despite pushes from more socialistic candidates across the country, Americans still show a strong desire for wanting to get rich. After all, isn't wealth a part of the American dream? Jay shares what he learned as he prepared his most recent column.
David Richman continues to add to his legacy at North Dakota State University, leading the Bison to another Summit League Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance this past season. In the process, NDSU set a program record for wins in a single season, further cementing the team's place among the nation's top mid-major programs. More than a decade removed from winning a conference title in his first season as head coach, Richman has once again guided the Bison to the top of the Summit League.What makes NDSU's success particularly impressive is its consistency in an era of constant change across college athletics. Richman has been a part of the program since 2003, helping establish a culture built on player development, accountability, and long-term success. While roster turnover and transfer portal movement have become the norm throughout college basketball, the Bison have remained one of the sport's most stable programs, with Richman's leadership serving as the foundation for that sustained success.Now, the focus shifts to building on another championship season and continuing the standard that has defined NDSU basketball for years. As the program looks toward future Summit League titles and NCAA Tournament appearances, Richman is also closing in on becoming the all-time winningest coach in school history. With his impact already deeply woven into the fabric of the program, another milestone appears well within reach as he continues to shape the next chapter of Bison basketball.
