In today's episode, I shared why reaching your potential isn't about doing more—it's about doing what matters with intention. When you lead with gratitude, focus on one meaningful promise, and build simple systems that keep you consistent, your results start to compound. That's when people mistake preparation for luck. Success comes from aligning what you do, say, think, feel, and believe every day. When your behavior matches your vision, clarity grows, opportunities appear, and your frequency rises. Stay intentional, protect your attention, and let consistency guide your progress. To join my next free Friday Training session, email me at david@dmeltzer.com

Now we know why Trump is working overtime since the reopening of the Government to block the release of the Epstein child sex trafficking files. Never-before-seen secret emails of Epstein, now released by the House, show the extent to which Epstein had damaging information about Trump's involvement that he was willing to use to extort Trump. Michael Popok examines the new emails, along with some new interview comments by journalist Michael Wolf about a couple of emails that have his name on it, and why they show just how bad the blocked docs are for Trump.

We ELEVATE businesses to achieve maximum value and reach that dream exit. Our objectives are simple - understand where the business is today, identify opportunities for dramatic improvement, and offer solutions to enhance the business, making it more marketable and valuable. And that all starts with understanding the business owner's definition of his or her dream exit. Mastery has developed a 4-Step Process to help business owners achieve their dreams.

Send us a textWhat does trust look like when the answer you begged for doesn't come? We sit with Linda Blechinger as she walks us through the radiant, brief life of her son DJ, born with multiple heart defects, and the unflinching choices that shaped their family's faith. From a quiet hospital room and a first reading of Psalm 91 to a living room filled with a holy hush, Linda shows how God's presence can steady hands and soften fear, even when the path winds through surgery suites and sleepless nights.We trace the story from early motherhood in a new town to a diagnosis that changed everything. Linda shares how she learned to pray without demanding a specific outcome, how Scripture became a lifeline, and why “Do you trust Me?” turned into a daily practice rather than a single moment. There's a tender fight to bring DJ home, a forbidden sip of Sprite that becomes a picture of living water, and a startling roar that reframes the battle between a prowling imitator and the Lion of Judah. Along the way we challenge bad theology—blame, shame, and the idea that God authors tragedy—and point to a better story rooted in Genesis, the reality of a broken world, and the victory of Christ.What follows is a map for real people in real pain: permission to grieve loudly, wisdom to study the Word for yourself, and courage to name God as good when life feels anything but. You'll hear about funeral salvations, journaled prayers that came back as anchors, and the choice to see redemption where bitterness could have taken root. If you or someone you love is walking through loss, disappointment, or long uncertainty, this conversation offers language, comfort, and hope that holds.If this moved you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review so more people can find these stories.

What if the restlessness you feel isn't a problem to fix, but a sign you're ready for more? Most high achievers are taught to silence their desires, to be grateful, to keep striving.

It's wisdom.In this episode of Dare to Be Free, I share how longing is your soul's built-in navigation system, guiding you toward your next level of freedom. You'll learn why so many successful people still feel unfulfilled, how to stop chasing external validation, and how to turn desire into your most powerful source of direction and liberation.Ready to start following your longing instead of fighting it? Grab a copy of my book, Dare to Desire, to inspire you toward more freedom.
On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck unpacks a tumultuous week for Donald Trump as newly released Epstein emails reignite old scandals — and this time, they may stick. With Speaker Mike Johnson appearing to serve Trump’s interests over his own members, and a worsening economy eroding public patience, Chuck explores whether we’re witnessing the beginning of Trump’s “lame duck” moment. He draws parallels between Trump’s endless stream of controversies, his history of corrupt pardons, and how even “teflon” presidents eventually turn “velcro” when conditions shift. As the cost of living rises and swing voters tune out partisan noise, scandals like Epstein’s are cutting through both sides’ information bubbles — forcing Republicans to reckon with Trump’s baggage. Chuck argues that if Democrats manage a midterm sweep, historians might look back on this very week as the turning point when Trump’s political luck finally began to run out. Then, Chuck sits down with Adam Jentleson, executive director of the new Searchlight Institute, to talk about how Democrats can build a broader, more durable governing coalition. Jentleson explains why Searchlight is designed to promote ideological diversity within the Democratic Party — and why policies that blend progressive and moderate ideas tend to last longer and win in more places. He warns that Democrats’ electoral path to the presidency and a 60-seat Senate majority is narrowing and argues the party’s best hope lies in economic populism — the same force that powered Trump’s rise but could be reclaimed with a focus on kitchen-table issues and fairness for working Americans. The conversation dives deep into the party’s messaging struggles during the government shutdown, the growing divide between “fight Trump” and “look past Trump” factions, and the need for Democrats to recruit candidates who can win in red and purple states — even if they don’t align perfectly on social issues. Jentleson also offers sharp insights on the filibuster’s evolution from a necessary safeguard to a legislative dead end, and why Democrats need to get more strategic — not louder — if they want to govern effectively and outlast Republican populism. Finally, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and breaks down the latest in college football. Go to https://getsoul.com & enter code TODDCAST for 30% off your first order.

Send us a textThis week on the Less Stressed Life, Dr. David Hanscom joins me for his 4th appearance to explain why anxiety isn't psychological—it's physiological—a survival response that we can learn to regulate, not control. We talk about how unprocessed emotions and repetitive thoughts get stored in the body as pain and how tools like expressive writing, calming the body, and softening the ego help break those loops.You'll walk away with a new way to think about anxiety, pain, and healing—one that focuses on awareness, compassion, and creating safety in your body so your mind can follow. It's about rewiring your nervous system, not forcing it.Dr. Hanscom's past episodes: • Ep 71: Roadmap out of Anxiety and Chronic Pain • Ep 72: Anger & Anxiety in the Family • Ep 325: Overwhelm & PainKEY TAKEAWAYS: • Anxiety and anger are body states, not character flaws • Calm the physiology first; thoughts will follow • Expressive writing helps separate from looping thoughts • Awareness and compassion are core to lasting changeFree resource: Try Dr. Hanscom's Expressive Writing Exercise (PDF), a foundational tool from The DOC Journey to help calm the nervous system and release looping thoughts. ABOUT GUEST:David Hanscom, MD is a former complex spine surgeon who left his 32-year Seattle practice to help people heal from chronic physical and emotional pain. After overcoming his own 15-year struggle with anxiety and pain, he developed the Dynamic Healing approach, which focuses on calming the body's threat physiology and rewiring the nervous system for lasting relief.He's the author of Back in Control: A Surgeon's Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain and the upcoming Calm Your Body, Heal Your Mind: Transcend Pain, Anxiety, Anger, and Repetitive Unwanted Thoughts (June 2026).WHERE TO GUEST:Websites: https://backincontrol.com/ and https://thedocjourney.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdavidhanscom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drdavidhanscomYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DrDavidHanscomWHERE TO FIND CHRISTA:Website: https://www.christabiegler.com/Instagram: @anti.inflammatory.nutritionistPodcast Instagram: @lessstressedlifeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lessstressedlifeLeave a review, submit a questions for the podcast or take one of my quizzes here: ****https://www.christabiegler.com/linksSPONSOR:Thank you to our friends at Jigsaw Health for being such an incredible sponsor and partner.
Have you ever been deep in a seemingly small, repetitive problem at work and thought, "There's got to be a better way"? Today's guest didn't just have that thought—she ran with it, all the way from the ER to the shelves of Amazon. In this episode, Dr. Liz Clayborne, emergency physician and founder and CEO of Nasaclip, shares how a common clinical nuisance sparked a full blown medical innovation. What started as a passing thought during residency turned into a patented, market-ready device that's now helping people everywhere from Disney cruises to school nurse's offices. Liz opens up about how she went from taping tongue depressors together to launching a product online. She breaks down the roadmap she followed which included bumps, doubts, funding stress and all—and shows you what's possible when you stop waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Whether your big idea is a device, an app, or just a smarter way to do the thing everyone hates, this conversation will give you the tools (and courage) to start. In this episode we're talking about: How a single ER shift inspired Dr. Liz to design a new medical device What you should do first when you have an idea (spoiler: it's not building a prototype) How to deal with imposter syndrome when you're stepping into unfamiliar territory The realities of fundraising—and why being a physician can actually be your superpower A step-by-step roadmap to go from idea to market The surprising ways her invention has made an impact beyond the ER Why betting on yourself isn't just brave—it's necessary Links for this episode: Dr. Liz Clayborne: Contact: eclayborne@nasaclip.com Instagram: @drelizpc Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethpclayborne/ Nasalip: Website: nasaclip.com Nasaclip Instagram: @nasaclip
Do you struggle with marketing? Marketing your interior design business requires visibility and connection with potential clients. For introverts who prefer smaller groups and more intimate interactions, traditional marketing advice can feel overwhelming and misaligned with their natural working style. The challenge becomes finding ways to share your work authentically while honoring your temperament and energy levels. In this episode, I'm exploring how to create marketing strategies that align with your individual strengths and preferences as a business owner. Whether you identify as an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, the key is understanding that effective marketing doesn't require you to be someone you're not. I share personal examples of how I structure my marketing activities to support my introverted nature while still achieving business growth.

If you think you're using money the same way your parents did, you're already behind. If your entire view of Bitcoin is based on headlines, you're missing the point. And if you think this "crypto stuff" is just a fad, then today's episode will shake your perspective. Because what we're living through isn't just a tech revolution; it's the early stage of a complete financial reset. The system you were taught to trust is showing its cracks, and a new one is quietly being built in real time. In this episode, I'll walk you through what's really happening beneath the surface of our economy: how the legacy system is breaking down, why blockchain isn't the same as crypto, and why Bitcoin stands alone as the foundation of a new era. We'll unpack what central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could mean for your freedom, how tokenization is changing ownership, and what you can actually do right now to prepare for what's coming next. This isn't about hype or headlines. It's about understanding the future of money before the rest of the world wakes up. Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] – Introduction: Why the way we use money is already outdated [1:00] – The cracks in the old system: banks, inflation, and eroding trust [4:30] – Blockchain ≠ Crypto: the foundation of the new financial internet [7:30] – Bitcoin ≠ Crypto: digital property, not a startup project [11:30] – What's coming: CBDCs, tokenization, and digital IDs [15:30] – What to do now: education, ownership, and early infrastructure [19:00] – Closing: The financial system is molting. Will you be ready? Key Takeaways The Old System Is Breaking: Inflation, inefficiency, and control are signals that the traditional system is unsustainable. Blockchain Is the Infrastructure: It's not about coins; it's about a trustless, verifiable system the world will soon rely on. Bitcoin Stands Alone: It's not just another crypto. It's digital property, the foundation of a new monetary network. Preparation Beats Prediction: The people who win in revolutions aren't the loudest. They're the ones who understood the shift early and acted on it. Quotables "If your view of Bitcoin comes from headlines, you've already missed the real story." "Banks still run on 1970s rails. You send a wire Friday, it lands Monday, if you're lucky." "Most crypto is a startup. Bitcoin is a protocol. One builds features. The other preserves freedom." "The system isn't just evolving; it's molting. And under that shell, something entirely new is taking shape."

Summary this episode of the Be a Smarter Homeowner podcast, hosts Elizabeth Dodson and John Bodrozic discuss the essential steps for first-time homeowners. They cover the importance of understanding how to operate and maintain a home, the significance of regular maintenance, and how to prioritize home projects based on inspections. The conversation also delves into budgeting for homeownership, including the total cost of ownership and the balance between DIY projects and hiring professionals. The hosts emphasize the need for preparation and awareness to navigate the complexities of homeownership successfully. Takeaways Homeownership is a journey that requires understanding and preparation. Knowing how your home operates is crucial for effective management. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs in the future. Creating a maintenance calendar helps keep track of necessary tasks. Prioritizing projects based on inspections can save time and money. Understanding the total cost of ownership is essential for budgeting. DIY projects can save money but require time and effort. Home inspections provide a snapshot but do not replace ongoing maintenance. Engaging with neighbors can provide support and resources for home care. Planning and budgeting for home projects is key to successful homeownership.

Most men don't have a health problem.. They have a clarity problem. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tracy Gapin, a men's health doctor who rejects the reactive healthcare model.

It's about taking ownership. When you optimize your body, you optimize your life. --------------- I started working with Dr Tracy Gapin to finally understand my body. My hormones, gut health, energy.. all of it. Knowing your numbers changes everything. And I wouldn't promote anything I haven't experienced and believe in myself.
With Q4 here and 2026 planning underway, I'm re-sharing one of my favourite episodes on creating your roadmap to seven figures. If you're joining my workshop next week on the $100K offer, this episode shows you how that offer fits into your bigger revenue strategy. Today I'm talking about what happens when we shift from the "what" to the "how" with getting your consulting business to seven figures and maybe even eight figures. I'll talk all about how to accomplish the milestones you set for your business and how to create the action plan to get there. Tune in to this episode to learn more! In this episode: [01:30] Think about what you want the destination to be for your business. [05:00] Unpacking and peeling back the layers of your dream. [10:00] Actually doing the "how" using motivation and mindset. [14:00] More on my business audit package and how I'll help you make a plan of action. Key Takeaways: Setting micro goals and milestones along the journey of your business can be a great way to help you eventually achieve your destination. The "what" can be easy to identify, but it's the "how" that generally is harder to accomplish. Finding motivation and changing your mindset can help to accomplish your goals. Quotes: "I always want my clients to have a revenue goal in mind, but it's more important to me that we turn that goal into a sheet of micro goals or milestones." Jessica Fearnley "One thing I have really learned in recent years is that we need the "what" to be expansive and to be able to expand to its true dimensions before we even make a start on the "how"."

Leaders are running on fumes. There are plenty of reasons why plenty of leaders are feeling fatigued right now. In this ep, I am exploring my observations of the issues many clients are struggling with and some ideas to combat it.We are talking about:Navigating constant change and tech moving faster than policy or skill developmentDilemmas surrounding forging team connection and collaboration The increased need for 'ambiguity tolerance'Making time to be strategic and not getting caught up in the detailCommunicating clearly and consistentlyFocusing on EQ skills and resilienceManging diverse expectationsAnd maintaining an authentic leadership style (despite all the above!)Rebecca on leading through ambiguity:"Ambiguity tolerance has become a core leadership skill because being able to have all the data, or having clear answers at your fingertips, is becoming rarer. The speed at which execution is needed also has leaders expected to make confident decisions even when data is incomplete. If you are feeling the tug of expectations, you are not alone."

A powerful 10-point strategy gives you a clear, actionable plan to market your books. Four manageable strategic phases build on each other.1. Build the Foundation: The Stuff You Own and ControlFirst things first, the foundation: Building the stuff that you own and control. This is your content engine that's going to establish you as an authority in your space for the long haul. So what's the key here? It's how these three steps work together like a well-oiled machine.Your weekly podcast is the heart of your content engine. It's where you have your deepest conversations.Then, pull out shareable video clips from that podcast.And finally, pick one social media channel and focus on sharing those clips to pull people back to your main content.It's a smart interconnected system. This is where the magic is.For your podcast, feature people you want to honor. It's not just about getting interviews. It's about building genuine relationships.Your videos should be short and sweet but packed with value. Post them everywhere: YouTube, Rumble, Vimeo, and all your social networks.For social media, don't try to be everywhere at once. Pick one network like Instagram or TikTok and get really, really good at it.Your own content engine should now be humming along,2. The Expansion: Tap into Other People's AudiencesIt's time for phase two, the expansion. You've got your own valuable stuff now, so the strategy shifts a little bit.Start tapping into other people's audiences. It's all about leveraging platforms that other people have already built. How? Be a guest on other podcasts. Use tools like ListenNotes.com and Matchmaker.fm to locate the most targeted podcasts to reach your audience.You should also speak at events, both online and in person. Note: While online speaking is great, there is absolutely nothing that beats a live in-person speech for making a real connection.This plan also has a cool two-sided strategy for summits. You can host your own, or you can be a guest at someone else's, or both! If you host your own summit, you're in the driver's seat. You control the whole conversation and you build your brand as a leader.But being a guest, that's a fantastic shortcut to a built-in audience without all the logistical headaches. Which one's right for you? That depends on where you're at right now.3. The Email Connection: Own Your RelationshipsWe've covered building your platform and borrowing other people's, but this step is about owning the relationship with your biggest fans. It's about creating a direct line to them that no algorithm or social media platform can ever mess with.Social media is rented land. Your website could get buried by Google. But your email list is your direct, unfiltered line to the people who want to hear from you. It is the most valuable and bulletproof asset you can build as an author.How to use this direct line is simple: Send one email, every single week, no matter what. Send out emails that are short, packed with value, content rich, and inspirational. You're not just trying to sell them something, you're serving them consistently.4. The Amplifier: Pitch to the Major LeaguesThe final and most ambitious phase of this book marketing plan is the amplifier. Once you've got your foundation built, your expansion strategy working, and you have a direct connection to your tribe, you are ready to pitch to the major leagues.Take your message and scale it up, big time. Getting attention from major media isn't about getting lucky with one great pitch. It's about engaging in a persistent professional effort. And. as this timeline shows, the plan is to send a new idea, a new proposal, to your target outlets at least every two weeks.This steady drumbeat shows the media that you are serious, creative, and not going away. The rules for this final phase are all about focus and relevance. Pick one national TV show and one major magazine to start with.But here's the kicker. Your ideas have to be newsworthy. Connect what your book is about to what people are already talking about right now. Link your expertise to current events. That is what makes a producer's ears perk up.ConclusionThis table sums it up perfectly. You've got 10 individual tactics, but they all funnel into these four core strategies.You build your foundation with your content. You get expansion by leveraging other platforms. You forge a critical connection with your weekly email. And, finally, you become the amplifier by pitching the major media. It's a complete, integrated book marketing system where every part supports the others.This 10-point book marketing plan is so much more than a to-do list. It's an author marketing blueprint for building a career. Looking at this book marketing system, the question you should be asking yourself isn't, how can I possibly do all of this at once? It's much simpler than that.The real question is, what is the very first brick you're going to lay for your author platform starting today?Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

The recent conclusion of China's Fourth Plenum has shed light on the strategic direction of the 15th Five-Year Plan, highlighting key priorities such as boosting domestic consumption, advancing technological self-reliance, and expanding into new export markets. Following the Plenum, Chinese President Xi also met with US President Trump in South Korea, reaching a mutual agreement to pause key trade escalations for a year. What do these developments mean for the future of US-China relations, and can Chinese markets continue its bull run in 2026? This episode is presented by Richard Tang, Head of Research Hong Kong at Julius Baer and Hong Hao, Managing Partner and CIO of Lotus Asset Management Ltd.
Rather than bracing for Mercury Retrograde, we invite you to embrace this period (November 9th-29th) as a spiritual refinement process—a chance to clear static from your frequency and let old, outdated narratives dissolve. With three water signs in retrograde (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), the universe is gifting us a profound psycho-spiritual cleanse. Here’s what we cover: The Upgrade Invitation: Why you must engage with the Mercury Retrograde for a deep mental and cognitive rewire, rather than recycling confusion. Sagittarius Detox: From Nov 9th, Mercury in Sag demands a mental expansion and belief detox. What limiting stories have been running the show unconsciously? (Be mindful of spiritual bypassing or excessive optimism!) Scorpio Confrontation: When Mercury slides back into Scorpio on Nov 18th, the game changes. We move from philosophical to embodiment.

Mastery Partners Elevating Businesses to Achieve The Business Owner's Dream Exit The unfortunate reality is that for every business that comes on the market (for whatever reason), only 17% of them achieve a successful exit. You read that right. 83% of attempted business transitions never reach the closing table. Mastery Partners is on a mission to change that. We ELEVATE businesses to achieve maximum value and reach that dream exit. Our objectives are simple - understand where the business is today, identify opportunities for dramatic improvement, and offer solutions to enhance the business, making it more marketable and valuable. And that all starts with understanding the business owner's definition of his or her dream exit. Mastery has developed a 4-Step Process to help business owners achieve their dreams. STEP 1: Transition Readiness Assessment STEP 2: Roadmap for Value Acceleration STEP 3: Relentless Execution STEP 4: Decision: Now that desired results are achieved, the business is ready for the next step in the journey!

Episode Description "I'd love to join the Academy, but I'm already in debt. I can't justify spending more money right now." This is one of the biggest objections I hear, and I get it, I've been there too. But if you're in a tough financial position, this episode is going to completely flip your mindset and show you why being in a hole isn't a reason to freeze, it's the exact reason to move. Most people wait until they feel financially safe to invest in themselves, but that feeling may never come if you're drowning financially. You're not lazy, you're scared. And that fear keeps you stuck in the same cycle that got you here in the first place. The truth is, the cost of doing nothing is far more expensive than you realize, and most people aren't calculating what inaction is actually costing them. In this episode, I break down the real math behind waiting, share the story of Miranda (who went from working three jobs with sweaty palms to landing a $500,000 dream job in Hawaii), and explain why the Academy isn't just an expense, it's a path out of your current situation. Episode Timeline & Highlights 0:00] – The biggest objection: "I'm already in debt" [0:33] – The emotional trap of waiting until you're ready [1:16] – Pattern recognition: What separates wealthy from broke mindsets [1:41] – The hidden cost of inaction (and why $100K in savings is losing you $6K annually) [2:19] – Real numbers: Average students find $24,000 extra per year in cash flow [3:22] – Why "I can't afford it" is really about not trusting yourself [4:29] – What Academy students actually get: The automated financial roadmap [6:05] – Students with debt pay it off 28 months faster than expected [7:01] – Reframing affordability: It's about priorities, not bank balance [8:43] – Miranda's transformation: From three jobs and anxiety to $500K dream life [10:14] – Why the moment you feel least ready is when you need to leap Key Takeaways The Cost of Inaction Is Higher Than Investment: Our average student finds an extra $2,000 per month in cash flow, which compounds to over $1 million in 17 years. Fear Keeps You Stuck in Patterns: Pattern recognition separates wealthy individuals from those who remain broke. The same cycle repeats until you take action. Debt Doesn't Disqualify You: Thousands of students have joined with debt and become debt-free faster than they ever imagined possible. Quotables "You're not lazy. You're scared. And that fear keeps you stuck." "The longer you wait for your finances to get better on their own, the more time goes by. And time is money, and time is compound interest." "Sometimes the moment you feel the least ready is the exact moment you need to take the leap of faith."

Most contestants don't lose because they aren't talented — they lose because they're walking in without a map. In this episode, Coach Megan breaks down the full journey from first-time competitor to national titleholder, revealing how clarity and strategy create the calm confidence that wins crowns. You'll learn how to think like a champion before you ever hit the stage, how to translate mindset into practical execution, and why self-image silently determines your scores long before the judges ever meet you. We'll also unpack the difference between guessing your way through preparation and building a proven system that makes success duplicatable. Whether you're brand new or refining for nationals, this episode will help you see exactly where your energy needs to go so you can stop winging it, start working smart, and finally compete with purpose.

Hey team! Today I'm talking with Dr. Tracy Dalgleish (Dall Gleesh), a clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and the author of You, Your Husband & His Mother. She has spent almost two decades helping couples get unstuck from repeating the same old arguments and start building relationships that actually work in real life. And she also runs her own podcast, Dear Dr. Tracy. In our conversation, we get into how our relationships don't exist in a vacuum, how family expectations shape our decisions, and why it's so important to be on the same team with your partner, especially when you're juggling extended family, ADHD, and a few generational differences in "how things are done." We also get into setting values-based boundaries, navigating conflict without turning it into a blame game, and using small moments to rebuild connection when everything feels off balance. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/255 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips Work on shifting from "Me vs. You" to "Us vs. the Problem" mentality. This shift in mindset can completely change how a couple navigates conflict. By reframing the conflict, you turn what could've been another argument into a shared problem. And I do want to add on here as well that this is a learned skill and takes time to develop, but is well worth doing. Boundaries aren't about controlling someone else's behavior; they're about choosing how you'll respond. We often sabotage our own boundaries by overexplaining them, giving people justifications that sound like permission to debate our choices. You can't stop someone from knocking, but you can decide whether you'll open the door. Try building a "Roadmap" of each other's regulation styles. While everyone has a different way of dealing with stress (and with ADHD, emotional regulation can be unpredictable), knowing them in advance can help prevent some frustrating moments.

Sarah Powazek, Director of the Public Interest Cybersecurity Program at UC Berkeley's Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, and Michael Razeeq, Nonresident Fellow at the Public Interest Cybersecurity Program, join Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss the cyber threats facing states, what options and resources states currently have to address cybersecurity problems, and how the concept of state cyber corps and volunteer programs fits into the picture. They also discuss how states can stand up a cyber corp or volunteer program, including recruiting and retaining talent; the impact of federal workforce and spending cuts on states' cybersecurity capacities; and what future state and federal action on cybersecurity could do to improve states' cyber postures.For more on this topic, see:Sarah Powazek and Grace Menna, “The Roadmap to Community Cyber Defense,” June 2025, UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term CybersecurityCyber Resilience Corps websiteTo receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
