"Throughout all of our history, women have worked. The 50s was an aberration that we're still paying for, because it spawned feminism." "I don't see why we can't simply start the debate by saying feminism wanted to destroy marriage and it succeeded. Now what? Now that we've tried that — can we try not dying as a species?" Brian and Alison watch Rachel Wilson's rematch with NotSoErudite, who spends it arguing that the Gulf states' falling birth rates prove feminism isn't the cause, and that the problem is really the gold standard. Also: why firing a man used to mean starving his children and his female relatives, and what happens to labour protections once it doesn't; and the fertility numbers — 2.18 for a non-liberal woman without a degree, 1.39 for a liberal woman with one. "Why are you turning feminism into a person? … She immediately opens up with relational-web stuff, right? I'm going to judge you based on your relationship to feminism, guys. Very important."

Japan's Top Business Interviews Podcast By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Laura Bonamici - Former Global Head of Marketing, Fujitsu "Leadership is increasingly an act of translation." "The role of leadership was not to force speed, it was to create the conditions where speed could emerge." "Perfection was never the problem, but waiting for it was." "You become geographically global, but you're remaining intellectually domestic." "Ultimately, what you leave behind is that beating heart, and you leave that through people." Laura Bonamici is the former Global Head of Marketing for Fujitsu and spent four years in Japan helping lead major transformation within one of the country's best-known technology companies. Born and raised in Sardinia, Italy, she built her career almost entirely outside her home country. After completing university, she moved to the United Kingdom, then Germany and eventually Japan. She describes her career as one of "leading away from home", repeatedly operating as an outsider who must understand a new environment while still delivering organisational results. Her original assignment in Japan was expected to last around 18 months, but the scale and complexity of the transformation extended her stay to four years. During that period, Fujitsu was pursuing an ambitious mid-term plan and expanding its Uvance digital services portfolio, with marketing playing an important role in the company's transformation. Japan ultimately forced Bonamici to question leadership approaches that had previously worked successfully elsewhere. The experience strengthened her belief that effective global leadership depends upon understanding context, translating between different perspectives and bringing people with you through change. Laura Bonamici's lessons about leadership in Japan begin somewhere unexpected: mushroom hunting in Sardinia. As a teenager, she would accompany her father into the woods at six o'clock in the morning. It did not matter how late she had stayed out the previous night. If she had promised to go, she was expected to be standing at the door on time. The first lesson was trust: if people cannot rely on your word, nothing else works. Her father also taught her not to rush into the woods searching for mushrooms. First, they stopped, crouched down and allowed their eyes to adjust to the colours, light and patterns around them. The lesson she later carried into leadership was equally simple: without understanding context, people often cannot see what is actually there. Her four years leading transformation in Japan brought those childhood lessons back into focus. Bonamici describes modern leadership as an "act of translation". She is not referring simply to translating Japanese into English or vice versa. Leaders must translate contexts, perspectives and competing realities so that people can understand what change means and move forward together. One of the biggest tensions she encountered was stability versus speed. Japanese organisations possess formidable strengths in structure, process, alignment, consistency and execution. Yet technology cycles are shortening, AI has become a standard copilot and markets can change in months rather than years. Simply demanding greater speed from a system designed around careful execution can generate resistance. Bonamici instead created protected spaces where small cross-functional teams could experiment, learn and make mistakes. Speed was not imposed on the wider organisation. New approaches were tested, demonstrated and then scaled. Communication also required recalibration. Important ideas were often shaped through relationships, trust and smaller conversations rather than created inside large meetings. Small groups could explore ideas before larger forums validated decisions and accelerated implementation. The second tension was precision versus progress. Japan's commitment to quality encourages organisations to get things right before moving. Transformation, however, often requires learning while moving. In Fujitsu's marketing application of AI, Bonamici did not dismiss legitimate concerns about governance, accuracy and risk. Her team started with focused, lower-risk use cases and made the learning visible. The question gradually moved from "Is this perfect?" towards "What are we learning and how can we improve it?" A third tension involved global ambition versus local reality. Bonamici describes what she calls "Japan-to-Japan globalisation": Japanese companies expanding geographically by following Japanese customers overseas while retaining essentially domestic assumptions. International success requires more. Companies must understand different customers, markets and competitive dynamics. Technical excellence alone does not guarantee that customers will recognise value. Markets construct meaning around products. Marketing therefore becomes a bridge between global ambition and local relevance. For Bonamici, leadership is consequently not about eliminating tension. It is about becoming comfortable enough to hold competing realities simultaneously and helping other people navigate them. Her final insight concerns legacy. Processes, structures and playbooks can disappear after a leader leaves. The more enduring legacy resides in people. Leaders leave pieces of themselves in those they have developed, influenced and encouraged. The blueprint may change. The people carry the beating heart forward. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Bonamici sees leadership in Japan as an exercise in understanding and translating context. Japan combines strong structure, process, alignment, consistency and execution with an increasingly urgent requirement for organisational speed. The challenge is therefore not simply deciding whether an organisation should move quickly or carefully. Leaders must work within both realities. She found that ideas in Japan were frequently developed through relationships, trust and smaller conversations before reaching larger forums for validation. Effective leaders therefore create environments in which ideas can emerge safely, gain support and ultimately move faster. Leadership becomes less about forcing change and more about creating the conditions in which change can occur. Why do global executives struggle? Bonamici experienced this herself. She arrived with energy, a transformation mandate and an initial assignment of approximately 18 months. Like many leaders, she was psychologically geared towards demonstrating results quickly. Japan challenged assumptions and methods that had previously contributed to her success. Her first six months were largely about "landing". By twelve months, it had become clear that 18 months would not be sufficient for the mandate. Her assignment was extended and eventually became a four-year experience. The wider lesson is that leaders arriving from overseas cannot assume that methods proven elsewhere can simply be transplanted into Japan. They have to observe the environment, understand the context and adjust without abandoning the objective. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Bonamici does not characterise Japan simply as risk-averse. Instead, she identifies a strong commitment to precision, governance, accuracy and careful execution. Her experience introducing AI into marketing illustrates the distinction. There were legitimate concerns about governance, accuracy and risk. Rather than arguing that these concerns were obstacles to innovation, her team worked with them. They created small, focused use cases offering low risk and high learning. Results and lessons were then made visible. The breakthrough came when the organisational conversation shifted away from demanding perfection before action towards asking what could be learned through controlled experimentation. What leadership style actually works? Bonamici argues for leadership based on translation, context and bringing people with you. Trying to impose speed can produce resistance. Creating small protected environments where people have permission to test, learn and make mistakes can allow new ideas to prove themselves before they are scaled. She also stresses the importance of breaking enormous transformation challenges into manageable horizons. Her own assignment developed through six-month and twelve-month checkpoints rather than being psychologically treated as one enormous four-year transformation. Most importantly, leadership means bringing others along rather than simply moving ahead personally. How can technology help? Technology itself is one of the forces increasing the pressure for organisational change. Bonamici notes that technology cycles are compressing and AI has become a standard copilot. Her experience with AI in marketing suggests that technology adoption does not require organisations to choose between innovation and governance. Focused experimentation can reconcile the two. Organisations can begin with lower-risk applications, learn from real experience and make those lessons visible. This allows confidence to develop through evidence rather than through argument. Technology therefore becomes both a driver of transformation and a practical environment in which organisations learn how to transform. Does language proficiency matter? Bonamici acknowledges that language translation is a significant part of leadership in Japan, but her larger emphasis is on context translation. For her, leaders must move between worlds, perspectives and competing realities and help their teams make sense of them. Her experience living and working in the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan reinforced another lesson: individuals from different cultures are often less fundamentally different than leaders assume. Group dynamics can vary considerably, particularly in Japan, but Bonamici prefers to search for common ground and build from there rather than treating cultural difference as an automatic barrier. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Bonamici's ultimate lesson is that leadership is about people. Structures change. Processes change. Successors reorganise teams and replace systems. A leader who defines legacy solely through organisational blueprints therefore risks disappointment. Bonamici instead thinks of legacy as something carried through people. Her metaphor comes from visiting the island of Teshima with her daughter and recording their heartbeats for an artwork archive. She later realised that the digital recording was not actually her heart; it was merely a record of its mechanics. She sees organisational legacy similarly. Handovers, processes and playbooks are recordings. The "beating heart" survives through people. For Bonamici, the strongest leadership legacy is therefore not a spreadsheet or process that remains untouched. It is having influenced people who carry something meaningful forward, adapt it and eventually pass it to others.

Are you doing the thing because of what you'll get, or because of what you're afraid of? Both get the task done. Only one of them is sustainable.This week, Dr. Ari Tuckman returns to talk about approach and avoidance, and why so many of us have only ever learned to start the second engine. We get into why avoidance works just well enough to become a habit, why "not as bad" is a ceiling rather than a goal, and what actually changes in a life that runs more on what you're moving toward.Along the way: the difference between shame and embarrassment and why it matters more than it sounds, what to do at 8 a.m. on a Monday when everything on the list feels equally urgent, and the case for disappointing people early instead of late.Links & NotesGet the “3 Reasons” Prioritization Worksheet Right Here!ADHD & Marriage: Learn to thrive in your relationship with Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA; Rachel Ban, LICSW; and Melissa Orlov!Support the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (00:56) - About the Show (02:25) - Introducing Ari Tuckman (14:38) - The question of shame (22:00) - Approach Motivation (29:04) - Approach versus Avoidance (37:28) - Find Ari ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This October, she's back for round two.Callie talks about getting talked into a second lap by race director Tim, why Mammoth's relatively "approachable" terrain works for a self-described clumsy, height-fearing trail runner, and a genuine bit of news: she and Tim are working on a documentary film, much of which will be shot during this year's race in Mammoth Lakes. We also get into her strategy for round two — same pacing plan, same reliance on Gu Roctane and aid-station ramen, same "walk every step" approach that's carried her through Cocodona, Moab, and her own Phoenix FKT — and a stacked crew lineup including Scott, Jen, Carol, Abby, and Cortes.And we dig into her actual Mammoth 200 video game card: 84 hours 25 minutes, Local Legend class, ten potatoes, zero hallucinations — a result she now admits was way too conservative, and a mistake she's already planning to fix on a second playthrough.In this episode:The snowstorm, the six-hour lightning hold, and getting rerouted off the second summitWhy Mammoth is the rare mountain 200 that works for someone afraid of heightsA documentary film in the works, shooting live during this year's raceHer virtual Mammoth 200 run — and why she's replaying it less conservativelyA prediction for race week: more rain, cooler temps, hopefully no lightningA pre-committed yes to the Mammoth Basketball Association, if the hoop shows upMammoth 200 kicks off Friday, October 2nd in Mammoth Lakes, California — 214 miles around a 760,000-year-old caldera, bookended by two summits of Mammoth Mountain.

Send in your music story!Somebody gets “killed off” by food poisoning, Florida delivers a hit and run story before breakfast, and then we do what we always do: turn the chaos into a music debate you can't stop listening to. While Chris is out, we run Round Two of our music bracket with the kind of honesty that makes brackets dangerous, because once you say a pick out loud you have to live with it.We dig into Ariana Grande's new album Petal and argue about what happens when production goes bold and psychedelic while the vocal choices stay safe. We talk about 70s coded pop, disco textures, and why an album can feel seamless yet still leave you unable to tell one song from another. We also touch on public scrutiny, celebrity image shifts, and why stepping back from appearances can feel like boundary setting or like a dramatic “end of an era” depending on who's listening.Then we jump back into pure bracket mode: hip hop matchups like Eminem vs Kendrick Lamar, Outkast vs Jay Z, and the moral and musical tension of ranking Kanye West's influence while refusing to endorse his behavior. Modern pop brings the heat with Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and Harry Styles, and pop icons force the big questions about legacy with Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, and more. We cap it all with a country finale powered by one undeniable truth: Friends In Low Places is basically a communal ritual.Hit play, pick a side, and then subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review so more music nerds can jump into the bracket with us.Support the showPlease give us a quick rate and review.

The Drop Set: Bodybuilding Discussion on training, nutrition, motivation and more
Show number one is done and show number two is three days out. In episode 303 of The Drop Set, I’m giving you the full unfiltered post-mortem on the NPC Tennessee State — what went wrong, what I learned, and what I’m doing differently going into the Knox Classic this Saturday. The honest truth: I came in about 10 to 12 pounds too heavy, the photos are rough, and I shat the bed on my routine because I was so focused on just making weight that posing practice fell apart. But I did drop 14 pounds in two weeks and get on stage under the cap, and that counts for something. I’m also answering a listener voicemail question on what clients can do to help me be a better coach — communication, detail, and training footage are the answers. Then I break down the peak week approach for show two, which is essentially doing nothing differently except pulling veg and electrolytes Thursday, a small carb addition Friday night and Saturday morning, and no backstage carb chaos this time. I’ve also made a last minute division switch — I’m competing in Men’s Physique at the Knox Classic, and the moment I hit that first pose I knew immediately it was a better fit for my frame.

President Trump has announced a new round of tariffs against a range of Canadian goods, including hockey sticks and cement. Trump says the tariffs are in retaliation for what he called Canada's “unequal treatment” of US cars, dairy and alcohol. But earlier in the week he also threatened retaliatory tariffs over Canada's wildfire smoke which has been drifting into US cities. We speak to Jayme Poisson - host of the CBC podcast Frontburner - about what Trump actually wants from Canada, and whether Canadians are bracing for a world in which the US is no longer their closest ally.

Despite two record-tying rounds of 62 on Friday at Royal Birkdale, Bryson DeChambeau remains the lead story yet again. Brendan, Kevin Van Valkenburg, and Joseph LaMagna went LIVE on YouTube to recap the second round of the 2026 Open Championship, only to have a two-shot penalty assessed to DeChambeau, then in second place, derail the entire show. The three reacted in real-time to the theatrics playing out on the fifth hole, where DeChambeau re-enacted his movements from earlier in the day in front of rules officials from the R&A. Kevin went to go scout out the scene on the ground, leaving Joseph and Brendan to make sense of what was unfolding. The two-shot penalty moved DeChambeau from solo second, just one shot back of Lucas Herbert, down to a tie for fifth alongside Sam Burns and Si Woo Kim. Joseph, Brendan, and PJ do highlight standout the two 62s from Burns and Herbert, as well as the continued strong play of Cameron Young and Ryan Gerard, but the majority of this episode is spent on Bryson and the ensuing ruling that could cost him his third major championship. The three mention notable missed cuts before setting the scene for a weekend at Royal Birkdale that is sure to deliver, even more than we originally thought!

One solo episode wasn't enough to settle the debate over the world's best wine cities — so this time, two frequent flyers weigh in. Jenna Fields and Zack Musick of the German Wine Collection, who log more travel miles promoting German wine than almost anyone in the industry, join to build their own list using the same four-part framework from the last episode: selection, people, variety, and identity. London tops it (officially "Germany-adjacent"), followed by a New York walking tour through Michelin-starred dining rooms, a surprise nod to Phoenix's under-the-radar sommelier scene, and a park-bench cheesesteak in Philly washed down with Frappato from a plastic cup. Pour a glass of the Meyer-Näkel Illusion Blanc de Noir — this month's wine club pick — and settle in for round two. Featured Wine: 2023 Meyer-Nakel "Illusion" Blanc de Noirs

Teresa's back with RV trip round two, proving once again that life is always better when it's packed to the brim with adventure. From laughing through the chaos to Mark somehow ending up captaining a boat in Idaho with absolutely zero boating experience, it's a classic Palmer family YOLO adventure.

Sarah's giving Wyatt a crash course in the weird and wonderfully dirty candy of the '90s before somehow calling his strep throat before anyone else. Meanwhile, Teresa clairsentiences her way through a dead phone, five exhausted kids and an Uber predicament after a marathon day at a theme park. Plus, baby Ocean has officially turned one! The girls reflect on all the emotions that come with that first birthday, the gratitude of watching these little humans grow, and the universal struggle of babies who seem determined to put absolutely everything in their mouths. They also chat about the magic that happens when we put our phones down, connect with the people around us, and discover how meaningful a conversation with a complete stranger can be.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright are back for a Wednesday session that opens with bathroom demolition chaos before diving into the real construction project: tearing apart the DOGE narrative. Was it a genuine cost cutting crusade or a "narrative delivery vehicle" for waking people up to government waste? The guys hash out both sides after a rough reaction to a poll about it. From there it's straight into the Iran situation, which appears to be heating back up despite the earlier ceasefire talk, plus what it means for energy markets, gas prices, and the ongoing tug of war between Trump's deal making instincts and hawks pushing for more. There's also chatter on rumble payment processing hiccups, some community shoutouts, and the usual banter that makes the show feel like hanging out with friends who happen to be neck deep in the news cycle. Grab a drink, this one runs long.

We discuss the recent outcome and wider context of the pivotal Australian legal case Tickle vs. Giggle. Its specifics involve a bloke joining a female-only app, but the case has all encompassing consequences for how single-sex law is interpreted and applied in Australia. With examples from court, such as Sall Grover, Giggle's creator, being fined $10,000 for laughing for 2-seconds and so breaking the tension of faux seriousness in such a ridiculous situation, the case represents so much of the dilemma transgenderism causes for women and institutions. Plus, how the American right came late to care about the trans issue, maternity rights as a break point, why Australia has an advantage over Canada in battling transgenderism, and the backlash to transgenderism as a contributing factor to the rise of populism.

The memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran was apparently signed over the weekend, but the text remains a mystery to most. Donald Trump says he'll release it and even read it himself so nobody can misunderstand it. If it's such good news, though, why not put it out right now? Israel isn't a fan of it, nor are those who believe we've abandoned the Iranian people by making a deal with the IRGC. At the same time, there may be a silent majority that cares less about the politics and more about the price at the pump. And that's what caught my attention.Since the beginning of May, with Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, gas prices in the United States have fallen. Not by a little, but by a lot. The national average has gone from roughly $4.50 a gallon to $3.50. That happened while the strait was closed and before any memorandum of understanding was announced. The White House wasn't bragging about it. They weren't loudly telling Iran that the closure wasn't working. That made me think something else was going on.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.After digging through it, I've been able to dig up a few explanations. The most public, I'd argue, was the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The Department of Energy released more than 53 million barrels as part of a broader international effort, bringing the reserve down to its lowest level since 1983. There were also reports that the United States was helping move oil out of the Gulf using some of the same techniques Iran has historically used to evade sanctions. American production remained high. Every hint of a peace deal pushed oil prices lower. Global demand softened. China sharply reduced its purchases on the open market. Alternative routes around Hormuz became more important. Gasoline inventories improved. All of it pushed prices down.If I rank the reasons, peace-talk optimism sits at the top. Strategic reserve releases bought time. American-supported workarounds moved real barrels. Demand destruction, especially with China stepping back, reduced pressure. Improved gasoline inventories helped. Some of the more speculative theories include sanctions waivers for Iranian oil, greater tolerance for shadow-fleet shipments, and alternate export routes making Hormuz less decisive than Iran hoped.What stands out is that there were more American incentives to get to the table than Iranian ones. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a temporary band-aid. Smuggling oil out of the Gulf is risky. Every day the Strait of Hormuz remained closed carried economic and military risks. That helps explain why the White House wanted a deal. Iran had incentives too, especially if China was no longer buying at previous levels, but the balance of pressure appears different than many expected.My assumption remains what it has been for weeks: there are multiple power centers inside Iran, and the biggest question is whether any deal can survive them. The Ayatollah is gone, much of Iran's leadership structure has been shattered, and the IRGC itself appears divided between factions willing to make a deal and hardliners who want to keep fighting. The memorandum of understanding may give us a clearer picture when we finally see it. Until then, the biggest question isn't whether a deal exists. It's whether anyone on the Iranian side can actually enforce it.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:38 - Iran and Gas Prices00:31:47 - Update00:32:04 - UFC 250 Terrorism Plot00:37:46 - Russia-Ukraine00:39:48 - Primaries00:42:48 - Interview with Maria Curi01:11:46 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

https://teachhoops.com/ Stepping into a head coaching position for the second time is completely different from your first ride. The first time around, you're trying to survive—managing parent emails, organizing equipment, writing 90-minute practice scripts, and trying to prove you belong. You coach with a whistle in your mouth and a joystick in your hand. The second time? The fog of management is gone. You know how the machine operates, which means you can spend your energy on what actually matters: building the human architecture of the program and protecting the culture. Going into "Round Two" means you aren't guessing your way through a philosophy. You are deploying an established blueprint refined by the "Truth Room" of your past mistakes. The biggest hazard for a veteran coach entering a new school is trying to run the exact same playbook that won them a regional title somewhere else. If your last stop featured elite, downhill-attacking guards and you ran a relentless Dribble Drive, but your new roster features physical, back-to-the-basket bigs, trying to force your old tactical system makes you a rigid coach. Your system must serve your players to maximize their Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): The Shift: In your first job, you might have modified your players to fit your system. In your second job, you have the tactical maturity to modify your system to fit your players while keeping your Standard of Excellence completely non-negotiable. The first time you were head coach, you likely hired your friends or whoever was available. This time, you understand that your coaching staff is your shield. The Rule: Do not hire an entire staff of "Yes Men." You need assistants who bring different tactical perspectives—maybe a "Modern Flow" architect to balance your structured Princeton Offense or a defensive specialist who understands recovery leverage. The Expectation: Hold your staff to the same Next Play Speed you expect from your players. They must be vocal "Energy Givers" in the gym, echoing your instructions rather than standing on the sideline with their arms crossed. A program is not defined by what the head coach preaches in the pre-season parent meeting; it is defined by what the head coach is willing to tolerate on a rainy Tuesday afternoon in January. Day One Standard: From your very first open gym, establish your non-negotiables: body language, how we treat the managers, how we sprint out of mistakes, and how we talk on defense. The Leadership Shift: Start building a Leadership Council immediately. Your ultimate goal in this second stint should be to move the program from Coach-Fed to Player-Led. When your upperclassmen start policing the locker room before you even walk through the door, you have built a culture that lasts. Coach's Note: "The first time you coach, you think it's about the X's and O's. The second time around, you realize the X's and O's don't mean a thing if the human beings running them don't trust each other. Focus on the relationship capital early, hold the standard fiercely, and let the scoreboard take care of itself." 1.

It happened on a Wednesday… Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the 27-page Alex Murdaugh murder conviction reversal that essentially boils down to two words: Blame Becky. They wrestle with the uncomfortable truth that money seems to help a defendant's chances at the state's highest court — while sticking to their belief that the evidence still points to one person who went down to the kennels and lied about it. In a unanimous 5-0 decision, the South Carolina Supreme Court reversed Alex Murdaugh's double-murder conviction, ruling that Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill "placed her fingers on the scales of justice." They also unpack the court's new guardrails on financial-crimes testimony at retrial, including the gutting decision to call Tony Satterfield's words unfairly prejudicial. Plus: reactions from Eric Bland, Mark Tinsley, AG Alan Wilson, and AG candidate David Pascoe. Same case. Same evidence. Same liar. Round Two starts now. Let's Dive in…
