In this week's episode, we feature the magical Jenna Phillips Ballard, who is a coach, speaker, and co-founder of the Ascension Leadership Academy. Jenna began her career in 2006 as a certified personal trainer and mindset coach for celebrities like Ben Stiller, Katy Perry, Jerry Piven, Saudi Arabian royalty, and the Marciano family (founders of Guess). However, halfway through her career, Jenna realized that she had a bigger calling. She realized that she was on a mission to motivate and inspire as many people as possible to become leaders and make this world a better place. She's now committed to redefining what it means to be a millionaire or billionaire, which in part depends on the millions or billions of lives we touch, enhance, and improve as an army of thought leaders. In this episode, Danny and Jenna discuss the process Jenna went through to transform her life, her emotional intelligence, and how Jenna found the partner of her dreams. If you're at a stage in your life where you feel unfulfilled, you're simply just chasing money without a specific direction, and you might be looking for a complete makeover of your life - this episode is for you. Enjoy! _________ Jenna Phillips Ballard: Jenna Phillips Ballard is one of the most powerful coaches in the industry, having worked with Hollywood Royalty, Saudi Arabian Royalty, and thousands of people from around the globe through her virtual and in-person training. After waking up from a coma in 2000 with brain damage and no short-term memory, she was confronted by a choice point. She either had to listen to her doctor's prognosis and accept that she wouldn't ever recover, or she would choose to be her own self-advocate and believe she'd make a full comeback. She discovered that her head injury actually saved her life. Before her accident, she felt unloved, depressed, stuck, and had no sense of self-worth. Upon waking up from her coma, she realized it was time to finally love herself enough to unleash everything she thought was outside of her. With newfound awareness and strength, she was able to make a full recovery and lead a life of joy, purpose, and abundance. She uncovered her own healing powers and has been awakening others ever since. Her goal is to inspire and empower as many women as possible to fully love themselves, and tap into their own magic so they can manifest magnificent lives.

An accrescent web of intricate politics, football is an increasingly cluttered habitat. Louis Young examines the relationship between football and geopolitics in this three-part series with worldly examples across four continents. From the potential of an African Super League to Qatari and Saudi Arabian state wealth and how economies have been affected by a state's desire to project a desirable image through football, this series acts as a stream of modern football fan consciousness and, broadly, ruminates over its chief concerns.

In this episode of Law, disrupted, John is joined by Nasser Alrubayyi. Nasser is a partner at Quinn Emanuel.  He represents and defends international and domestic corporations in a wide assortment of litigation and arbitration cases. Together they discuss the modernization of law, the legal profession, legal process, and judiciary in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and how that relates to promoting foreign investment, including in the mining industry, tech, and life sciences.John and Nasser discuss how Saudi Arabia is currently the fastest-growing economy in the G20, which has led to significant investments in the sectors of the future such as biotech, and education logistics, in addition to oil and gas investment. They note that this growth depends upon a robust legal system that investors have started to have confidence in.  Nasser explains that the legal system is not based upon either common law nor civil law; rather, it is a hybrid, drawing on traits of both. Saudi Arabia has a written constitution, drawing on Sharia sources denoted from Islam, as well as different laws issued by government bodies relating to particular issues. Nasser then explains Sharia law, more specifically, its two primary sources, the holy Qu'ran and Sunnah, referring to the sayings and actions of the prophet Muhammad PBUH. In addition, there are other sources, such as the consensus of the companions of Sharia scholars. He describes the laws pertaining to procedural matters, such as Saudi companies' law and legislation that discusses substantial issues like personal status laws. Together John and Nasser discuss the procedure behind a significant new law being enacted, walking through the process step-by-step from start to finish, including the role of the Council of Ministers. John then steers the conversation toward understanding the recent developments that have taken place in the Kingdom to attract greater foreign investment. Nasser describes how Saudi Vision 2030 is a key driving force in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's push to make it a more friendly destination for foreign investment.  He notes that since the approval of Vision 2030, many laws have been amended, and new laws have been enacted to make the Saudi Arabian market more attractive to foreign investors. John and Nasser discuss the enactment of the new mining and investment law as an example of one such law. The law aims to accelerate foreign investment in the mining sector by adopting international best practices, including reducing administrative discretion, bureaucracy, and obstacles to obtaining required licenses. The law also establishes clear timelines for the Saudi entities to respond to requests from investors, as well as an online system that enables investors to track their license applications and know where in the process they are. Nasser notes that while great strides have been made, more work is needed to promote the Kingdom. John and Nasser discuss the Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference in Saudi Arabia, an excellent example of how the Kingdom seeks to play a crucial role in the global economy.The discussion then turns to understanding the Saudi judiciary and the importance of a fair, just, and practical system. Nasser explains the Saudi court system and how proceedings have been made more effective through the use of digital communications.  He notes that the majority of cases are now heard and accessed remotely, online. John and Nasser also discuss the path to becoming a judge in Saudi's judiciary system and recent investments to provide judges additional training as well as more assistants to help them prepare cases for hearings. Finally, John and Nasser examine the business of law, noting the number of international firms with offices in Riyadh and the change in the law that has allowed them to open offices in Saudi Arabia.

Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where it is a seasonal focus week. That's right, join us for a conversation show examining the relationship between World Wrestling Entertainment, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and sportswashing. WWE has been the world's dominant professional wrestling company for the greater part of the last half century. A publicly traded entity boasting gross revenues in excess of $1 billion in 2021, the WWE maintains lucrative rights deals with both NBCUniversal and Fox that are expected to expand when they come up for renewal next year. Despite this fiscal prosperity, WWE made the decision to involve themselves in Saudi Arabian efforts to legitimize and Western-ize themselves in their economic endeavors. Join us, where on the eve of WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh's MRSOOL Park we examine the active strategic partnership between WWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority. Among our topics: North Korean involvement with two non-WWE wrestling outfits for an infamous two-day exhibition in 1995; a who's who of top stars refusal to participate in the wake of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi; the simultaneous touting of an internal “women's revolution” whilst staging shows in greatly gender-discriminatory territory; the flight delay from hell AKA “panic on the tarmac” following Crown Jewel's 2019 installment; and finally A-list social media celebrity Logan Paul's main event involvement later this week in the main event. For even the most progressively optimistic of wrestling enthusiasts, it is impossible not to consider the WWE/Saudi marriage born perfectly from the worst of capitalistic inclinations. SPEAKING OF MARRIAGES...it may be a week from Election Day but more importantly we are less than two weeks away from the nuptials of Collective host, tribal elder and leading voice Ed's wedding. He and his wonderful bride-to-be and dear friend of the pod Alisha will be tying the knot, and the Bill Bradley Collective will be on location two weeks from now with a very special road-show episode.

Every month, Mark Penn, Harris Poll Chairman and Bob Cusack, Editor in Chief of The Hill review the findings of the latest Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll. This month's poll was released together with The Hill this week. The October poll was conducted from October 12-13, 2022, among 2,010 registered voters. ​(Link to the full poll here).Republicans are inching closer towards a wave election as they connect with voters on their key issues of inflation, crime, and immigration. The GOP is now winning the generic Congressional ballot 53-47 among likely voters.Biden continues to struggle, especially on the economy: 84% of Americans think the US is in a recession now or will be by next year, and 55% blame Biden for inflation – including 42% of Democrats. The president's recent policies on student debt relief and marijuana pardons are popular but don't move the needle electorally for the Democrats.Other key findings include:VOTERS THINK REPUBLICANS ARE ADDRESSING THEIR TOP ISSUES MORE THAN DEMOCRATSInflation, crime, and immigration are the most important issues voters picked heading into the midterms – and based on each, voters say they are over 10 points more likely to vote Republican than Democratic.Americans think Republican leaders are most concerned with immigration, inflation, and the economy – while Democratic leaders are most concerned with January 6, women's rights, and the environment.AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT A RECESSION84% of voters think the US is in a recession now or will be in one by next year.58% are not confident in the Biden administration's ability to keep inflation at bay.Americans are worried about the Fed: 74% think the Fed will cause a recession.BIDEN'S DEBT RELIEF AND MARIJUANA PARDON POLICIES ARE POPULAR BUT DON'T MOVE THE NEEDLE ELECTORALLY67% approve of Biden's marijuana pardon, but it has no net effect on the electorate: 36% of voters say it makes them more likely to vote Republican, and 35% say more likely to vote Democratic.It's a similar story for Biden's student debt relief: 58% support his act – but 41% say it has made them more likely to vote Republican, compared to 35% Democratic.AMERICANS LEAN TOWARDS HAWKISH FOREIGN POLICY ON OIL AND RUSSIA65% oppose easing sanctions on countries like Iran and Venezuela as a way to lower gas and oil prices; instead, they want greater output of American oil and gas.54% think the US should cut military sales and technical aid to the Saudi Arabian government in response to their oil production cut.Voters are split on whether or not Biden's policies on Ukraine are pushing us towards nuclear war, and a majority remain supportive of providing aid to Ukraine.If Russia uses a nuclear weapon on Ukraine, 59% of Americans are willing to send in NATO.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Democrats are using their unconstitutional January 6th Committee to subpoena the former President just three weeks from the midterm elections. Meanwhile, the DOJ has leaked to the Washington Post that somehow moving documents from one part of Mar-A-Lago to another part of the residence is some sort of smoking gun. The January 6 hearings are merely a smoke screen because gasoline is up 58% from a year ago, inflation is still at 8%, while food costs are more than double that (15.57% since Biden took office). Then, depression is coming after stagflation if there isn't any deflation and every politician, mainly democrats, that voted for the inflation reduction act and Biden's other massive spending bills must be held accountable. When the White House urges you to stay the course on their disastrous economic policy this isn't compassion it intentionally enriches a select few while the masses go broke. Afterward, Rep Lauren Boebert joins the show with an important update on her very close reelection race. Boebert also criticized Biden for trying to cut an oil production deal with the Saudi Arabian government in order to influence an American election instead of relying on the American worker to produce more energy right here at home.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The 966 asks about the technical side of the production cuts and what's to come in the months ahead. 54:27 - Yallah! 6 top storylines to get you up to date headed into the weekend:•Women no longer required to bring male guardian to Hajj and UmrahSaudi Arabia has made the historic decision to allow women to attend the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages without a "mahram" or male guardian. Speaking at the Saudi embassy in Cairo, Tawfiq Al Rabiah, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Hajj and Umrah, said: "A woman can come to the kingdom to perform Umrah without a mahram."  The announcement ends a decades-long rule imposed by Saudi Arabia, although exemptions have been given to females attending the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimage with large groups of other women. •Netflix Unveils Upcoming Arab Films & SeriesNetflix has previewed a selection of upcoming films and shows aimed at the Arab world and hailing from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Egypt, and Jordan. The global platform has been steadily making inroads into the Middle East and North Africa since 2015, in the face of fierce competition from local players such as MBC's Shahid VIP and Starzplay. The new productions, mainly due to launch in 2023, include Saudi Arabian feature Alkhallat+, a satirical suspense film based on the hit online show Alkhallat, which was first released in 2017 and received more than 1.5 billion views across YouTube and social media.•Saudi Arabia's industrial production rises by 16.8% in AugustSaudi Arabia's Industrial Production Index increased by 16.8 percent in August compared to the same period a year ago, according to the latest General Authority for Statistics report. The growth in IPI was primarily driven by high production in the three subsectors — mining and quarrying, manufacturing, and electricity and gas supplies, official data showed. The growth of the IPI turned positive in May 2021, and it has been growing continuously since then. This comes after negative trends witnessed during 2019 and 2020 due to the impacts of the pandemic.•Venture capital funding for Mena start-ups hits $2.3bn and is on track to beat 2021 totalVenture capital funding for start-ups in the Middle East and North Africa rose 20 per cent annually to more than $2.3 billion in the first three quarters of 2022, putting it on track to potentially surpass the total investments attracted in 2021, a study carried out by Magnitt has found. Funding reached $512 million in the third quarter, which was the lowest since the first quarter of 2021, the data intelligence company said in its quarterly update, citing global economic and geopolitical factors. That, however, put total funding in 2022 at more than 80 per cent of the 2021 level, leaving the industry with a full quarter to match or even surpass last year's total of about $2.8bn.•Saudi Arabia leaps ahead in World University Rankings 2023Times Higher Education released the results of its World University Rankings 2023, which showed the UK's University of Oxford retaining its top spot for the seventh consecutive year. King Abdulaziz University has risen from 190 in 2022 to a joint-101 spot in the 2023 table, making it the highest ranked university in the Middle East and achieving the best ranking ever by a Middle Eastern university in this table. “Not only has King Abdulaziz University risen dramatically to move within a whisker of the world top 100 to lead the entire Mena region, but other leading institutions have also made strong progress and Saudi Arabia's overall representation in the World Rankings has increased — from 15 universities ranked last year, to 21 this year.•Saudi Health plans 100 partnership projects worth $13bnSaudi Arabia has announced a major plan to involve the private sector in 100 health projects over the next 5 years, resulting in $13 billion investment opportunities. The initiatives announced by Saudi Health for public-private partnership, including the operation of two new medical cities, a project to provide 900 beds for medical rehabilitation and long-term care services, as well as restructuring 200 primary care centers, and providing air medical evacuation services, said Health Minister Fahd Al Jalajil.

YO WHAT IS UP! We are back again with a new season, a new theme, a new film to explore AND a new format (yeah omg I know). On this one, we travel to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where we meet Wadjda, a young girl desperate to own a bicycle of her own. Starring the amazing Waad Mohamed, Abdulrahman AlGohani, Reem Abdullah and Ahd Hassan Kamel, this marked the first time a film was entirely shot in Saudi Arabia. Add to that, Wadjda was the first film to be directed by a Saudi Arabian woman, the truly inspiring Haifaa Al-Mansour. Often having to side step religious police, Haifaa had to direct actors from inside cars and vans just to get the shots she needed.  This film truly brought tears to our eyes and we all really enjoyed this film, so we really hope you do too.

Brad and Dan begin by going through the nuts and bolts related to the FBI's search of Trump's residence--what it requires to get a warrant, who had to sign off on it, and what it means that the GOP has no faith in the process or belief in the rule of law. They then examine the reactions to the search from MAGA Nation, followers of QAnon, and influential right-wing politicians, pundits, and influencers. The overall tone: This means the next civil war. Unfortunately, the consequences are already being manifest--yesterday a man tried to enter an FBI facility in Cincinnati and was killed in a standoff with law enforcement. The last segment examines the revelations that the FBI's search centered on classified information related to nuclear plans, weapons, and/or secrets. Brad lays out the case that this could be related to the billions of dollars Trump officials (including Jared Kushner) have received from the Saudi family. Dan argues it could be as simple as Trump wanting to show off to old golfing buddies.

The families are furious that former President Donald J. Trump once blamed Saudi Arabia for the terrorist attacks, but is now allowing his golf course to be used for its LIV Golf event. “We are pleased that people are refocusing attention on this issue,” said Jay Winuk, one of the protest's organizers. “There is no reason to go over to the scene where yet another atrocity is taking place.” The group, a band of family members of victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, spoke vehemently against the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament being held this weekend at the club owned by a former president, Donald J. Trump. The group, 9/11 Justice, seeks to bring Saudi Arabian government officials, whom they assert supported the terrorists, to judgment. They are infuriated that Trump once agreed that the Saudi government was responsible, but has changed his tune, they said, to cash in on Saudi efforts to sanitize the nation's global image through sports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
