I thought President Trump did a fantastic job at the DNC and I thought I heard humility in his voice. And if you've listened to me or watched me for a while, you know that's something I've been waiting for because I think it can elevate him to a level of greatness we've not seen. Now, maybe he could recognize some of the mistakes that occurred during his first term and therefore not do the same thing again. But at the RNC, they did make a diversity push. David Sacks was one of the speakers. He's done a brilliant job of helping some forms of republicanism in Silicon Valley and is helping to turn people towards the Republican Party, making it okay to come out as Republican. But, suddenly something disappeared from the RNC platform. I think it happened so you can have people like David Sacks as donors. We also saw Amber Rose speak at the RNC. I will also share about when I confronted the diversity cops at Microsoft all those years ago and how Microsoft has now canceled its DEI program. What does God's Word say? Galatians 3:28 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.Episode 1,730 Links:Microsoft Laid Off A DEI Team, Saying It's ‘No Longer Business Critical Or Smart'David Sacks Torches the Biden Administration at the 2024 Republican National Convention (Full Speech): "The Biden / Harris administration has taken a world that was at peace under President Trump and they lit it on fire...Rather than bolstering confidence in American leadership as he promised, President Biden has become the symbol of an America in decline.

We need to talk about how Microsoft is ending DEI as we also examine the impact of the attempted assassination of President Trump. It is now being reported that the Secret Service knew 2 hours before the attempted assassination about the shooter. And, we will hear a humble Trump thank Almighty God for saving his life. What does God's Word say? Proverbs 3:5-85 Trust in the Lord with all your heart    and lean not on your own understanding;6 in all your ways submit to him,    and he will make your paths straight.[a]7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;    fear the Lord and shun evil.8 This will bring health to your body    and nourishment to your bones.Proverbs 9:10-12 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.11 For through wisdom[a] your days will be many,    and years will be added to your life.12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;    if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.Episode 1,727  Links:Microsoft Laid Off A DEI Team, Saying It's ‘No Longer Business Critical Or Smart'America Is Changing ‼️ MUST LISTEN.

What is this report? It has been described as a “collaborative review undertaken by the NSW Police Force and the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission”.  Just for some clarity, the Law Enforcement Conduct Commision's primary role is to detect, investigate and expose misconduct and maladministration within the NSW Police Force. But the NSW Police force was involved in this review of its own practices. Essentially, this data was released after better police record-keeping and audits of strip-search data were among the recommendations made by the LECC in its landmark two-year inquiry into strip-searches in NSW handed down in December 2020. So this report  itself includes the Commission's 2020 Inquiry and a follow-up report published this week which has data from strip search practices in 2021 and  2022. And we're mainly talking about strip searches at music festivals here. Can you step us through some of the report findings? Less than half of the officers who carried out strip searches at the music festivals in the sample had completed the specialist music festival training. 28% of officers did not complete the training at all. NSW police complied with rules to protect dignity in just 27% of strip-searches The report also found that officers performing searches at the festivals had not used a “music festivals field processing form” designed to help police comply with person searching law and policy. Which resulted in only 35% of records being clear and consistent. Adding some more insult to injury… only 30% of strip search records reflected consideration of seriousness and urgency. What have the NSW Police said in response to the finding? The NSW Police Force acknowledged the results were below the expected standard. It said this may have been because the new training and process form were not communicated to the field effectively.  In a media release from the LECC, Acting Chief Commissioner Anina Johnson highlighted training and policies alone are not enough to change conduct. Saying… “It is critical that new processes are effectively communicated to all police officers and reinforced with proper supervision on the ground.” Another document stated, “The NSW Police Force has since re-communicated the music festivals training and guidelines throughout the state.” But I can't find anything firmer on what else they're doing to improve these results. So, going into festival season. What are the strip search laws? So this is NOT legal advice. But, the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 (LEPRA) gives police powers to search people in certain circumstances. LEPRA also requires officers to follow certain rules to preserve a person's privacy and dignity. An officer may conduct a person search if the officer suspects on reasonable grounds that the person has in their possession any stolen, prohibited, dangerous or otherwise unlawfully obtained item. So in a musical festival setting we're mainly talking about illicit drugs. A person search means the officer may quickly run their hands over the person's outer clothing and require the person to remove coat, jacket, shoes, socks, gloves and hat, pass an electronic metal detection device over a person's outer clothing or anything removed from the person.  An officer may strip search a person in the field (i.e. any place that is not a police station) if the officer suspects on reasonable grounds that:  a strip search is necessary for the purposes of the search, and that  the seriousness and urgency of the circumstances make the strip search necessary.  And there are sections on additional privacy and dignity rules which officers must follow during a strip search.

Reasonably significant political news today- ACT's David Seymour has absolutely ruled out working with Winston Peters in Government after the election.  Saying: “It's impossible to see us sitting around the Cabinet table.” And: "There's no way that you're going to solve the problems that New Zealand needs to solve when you've got someone who's had so many chances and screwed it up so many times before.”  Amen. I like Winston Peters, I like him a lot. But David Seymour's bang on here. How many more chances are we gonna give this guy?  The thought of Winston being able to choose or influence the next Government actually terrifies me. I don't care how many times and in how many ways he tells me- like he did on air on Tuesday- that he will not support a Labour Government into power. I do not believe him, as far as I'm concerned, Winston Peters cannot be trusted. In 1996, he told voters to: “put Jim Bolger in Opposition where he belongs”. After the election, he put Jim Bolger back into power. Lesson learned. Even if he was true to his word and didn't go with Labour, can you imagine the disaster a National Government would be with him in it?  This country is headed in completely the wrong direction. We need some serious change, but  Winston's not a change guy. Winston's a handbrake guy. He's spent the last 35+ years complaining about the reforms of the 1980s which saved this country's bacon. We need reforms again, to save us once again, can you imagine him allowing that to  happen?  Plus, we are broke. We are out of cash. Grant Robertson's holding meetings demanding Government agency bosses slash their budgets to plug a probably multi billion dollar fiscal hole as our economy slows and tax revenue drops. Winston's a spending guy. He's the guy who forced Labour to give him $3 billion in provincial growth fund money, which his party splashed around the provinces trying to win votes. And which the auditor general looked into and found was so sloppy officials weren't keeping proper notes   So no, I'm with David Seymour. I don't mind a bit of Winston in Parliament to spice things up, but I'd prefer if he stayed the hell away from Government. Especially now, when we do not have the time or the money for his game playing and expensive pet projects. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We discuss Image-Thinking: Artmaking as Cultural Analysis by Mieke Bal. Mieke (www.miekebal.org) started as a literary scholar. Her commitment is to interdisciplinary approaches to cultural artifacts and their potential effects. She focuses on gender, migratory culture, psychoanalysis, and the critique of capitalism. Mieke published 45 books and curated many exhibitions. She directed films and documentaries, many of which are exhibited as video installations in museums over the world. Her books include a trilogy on political art: Endless Andness, Thinking in Film, and Of What One Cannot Speak. Mieke supervised 81 PhDs. She (co-)made documentaries on migratory culture, and films which she calls ‘theoretical fictions.' A Long History of Madness argues for a more humane treatment of psychosis, and was exhibited in a site-specific version, Saying It, in the Freud Museum in London. Madame B was combined with paintings by Edvard Munch in the Munch Museum in Oslo. Reasonable Doubt is about the philosopher René Descartes and explores the social aspects of thinking. The installation Don Quixote: tristes figuras is exhibited as a sixteen channel video work. Becoming Vera is a documentary about a girl who is "three years old. Living in three worlds". Her latest film, It's About Time! Reflections on Urgency was produced in Poland (2020), just before the corona pandemic. It's a short film and you can watch it in full on Mieke's website. She was recently was elected to the one-year chair “L'invention de l'Europe par les langues et les cultures”, founded as one of three “chaires annuelles” by the Collège de France. Image-Thinking proposes a new model of synthesis of creative and intellectual work. It merges theoretical and practical considerations in innovative and empowering ways, while clarifying difficult concepts through accounts of practice including trauma, agency, identity and affect. We also briefly discuss Mieke's influential idea of "travelling concepts", which she introduced in her 2002 book

Life From Plato's Cave

In Plato's Cave, the prisoners start out being limited to only one perspective, one way to look at life. But they turn around and go on a journey, where they encounter images that challenge what they have always believed about who they are and how the world works. In this episode, we will look at the way we can look at the world from different angles. We discuss how art can not only help us do that, but is in fact necessary and urgent. How can image-thinking bring new ideas into society? Is it necessary to have a clear identity? What is the role between madness and invention? I spoke about these and other questions with Mieke Bal.   About Mieke Bal Mieke (www.miekebal.org) started as a literary scholar. Her commitment is to interdisciplinary approaches to cultural artifacts and their potential effects. She focuses on gender, migratory culture, psychoanalysis, and the critique of capitalism. Mieke published over fourty books, curated many exhibitions. She directed films and documentaries, many of which are exhibited as video installations in museums over the world. Her books include a trilogy on political art. The titles of these books are Endless Andness, Thinking in Film, and Of What One Cannot Speak. They demonstrate her integrated approach to academic, artistic and curatorial work. This year she has new books coming out, including a book called Image-Thinking, a term she coined and which we will discuss later on. Mieke has had a long academic career and supervised 80 PhDs, with the 81st currently underway. Mieke did not just limit herself to teaching, research and theoretical development. She (co-)made documentaries on migratory culture, and films which she calls ‘theoretical fictions.' A Long History of Madness argues for a more humane treatment of psychosis, and was exhibited in a site-specific version, Saying It, in the Freud Museum in London. Madame B was combined with paintings by Edvard Munch in the Munch Museum in Oslo. Reasonable Doubt is about the philosopher René Descartes and explores the social aspects of thinking. The installation Don Quixote: tristes figuras is exhibited as a sixteen channel video work. Becoming Vera is a documentary about a girl who is "three years old. Living in three worlds". Her latest film, It's About Time! Reflections on Urgency was produced in Poland (2020), just before the corona pandemic. It's a short film and you can watch it in full on Mieke's website. Her exhibition Art out of Necessesity in the museum Jan Cunen in Oss unfortunately was cut short because of the corona pandemic, but there is a Dutch book about the exhibition and you can find some short video's about the exhibition here.    In our discussion, I mention the portrait of Mieke by Carla van Puttelaar that was positioned at the beginning of the exhibition. You can find the image here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B8E2bEjlLml/    We also speak about Dali's The Invisible Man: https://www.dalipaintings.com/the-invisible-man.jsp    I hope you enjoy our discussion!

A half hour devotion for the residents of Milward House Pilgrim Home.-Readings- Luke 22-31-38 and John 18-4-11--In the upper room our Lord not only sought to prepare his disciples for seeing him crucified, but for their ministry afterwards. They would have a different reception than before. The adversaries they would have was indicated by the Lord's reference to a sword. When they said they had two, he said it was enough. Enough for what- certainly not to effectually fight and win by that means. Enough for what the Lord was to teach them. -Put up thy sword into the sheath- the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it.- -John 18-11--With all the opposition the Apostles had, we don't read of them taking up arms. The lesson was leant. Have we learnt it---But there are other examples of where God measures time, afflictions, evidences etc, to what is needed and no more- Saying -It is enough---We look at some of these examples in the word.---Service sheets for these devotions are on eDocs

Getting to the heart and soul of what you do is where you find your passion and that is the key to unlocking an extraordinary life! When it comes to living large and giving it your all, Bruce Buffer is no stranger to living passionately. In this episode of My Extra Mile, David T. S. Wood talks with Bruce about how to know when "It's time" to follow your dreams. If you want to live your life fueled with passion, this episode is a must-hear! You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...   Infusing your life with passion Realizing when it's time for a change and how to monetize your interests Saying "It's time" to your goals The secret to having a great day Waking up to the possibility of what's in front of you A pyramid analogy to help you stay focused The secret to becoming 100% better at everything you do Daily routines to help you live your life passionately   When you get knocked down, you have to get back up and push forward even harder to get to where you want. When you infuse passion into everything you do, you'll:   Enjoy it more Easily face with any positives and negatives you encounter along the way   Living your life with clarity and certainty will allow you to invest fully into whatever you want. You will wake up to the possibilities in front of you and pursue your dreams without regret. To start living the life you want, create a morning ritual, and maybe even add a mantra to keep you focused on where you want to be. The secret to having the best day possible is starting it with a positive, passionate attitude. The power of a pyramid hierarchy   What happens if you don't know what your passion is in life? What if you don't know where you want to go, let alone how to get there? If you're not living your best life, start by identifying the things you enjoy. Then consider what your life would look like if you did that every day!   Life is like a pyramid, whether you look at your home, work, etc., there is an essential hierarchy for everyone involved. The top 2% of the pyramid is the people making things happen and hustling every day. The remaining 98% is just as important as the top 2%, though. Without that support system in place, the whole pyramid would crumble.   If you're going into something for the first time, tackle the essentials first and learn the basics to find your footing. Then, once you've mastered the basics, go on to the next thing, and then continue the cycle as you work towards mastering whatever it is in front of you. But, a word to the wise: don't spread yourself too thin and try to learn many different things. Choose one path you're passionate about that is in line with your goals and give it your all as you climb the pyramid to that top 2%! The key to unlocking an extraordinary life   Hard work isn't what happens while you're on your way up the pyramid. The hardest part is maintaining consistency and keeping yourself successful once you're up there! It can be tempting to become complacent at the top and lose your momentum, but if you do, that is when your business will start to fall.   The key to an extraordinary life is passion, but it's also crucial to learn not to take things for granted. Passion creates a 24/7 attitude of success and appreciating the journey will give you a much better understanding as you encounter others along the way. If you want to get 100% better at anything you do, you only need to be 1% better every day for 100 days! With the right attitude and focus, you can do anything!

Born into a real estate family, Shon has been around the business since we was 4 years of age.   After initially resisting getting into the real estate business, Shon experienced his first taste of the benefits and opportunities available through real estate at the age of 18 when he flipped his first house netting a cool $60,000 profit.  From that this point forward Shon was hooked! At the age of 20, Shon was introduced to a book that would go on to change his life. After reading the E-Myth by Michael Gerber, Shon became committed to systematizing the process of helping home buyers.  This commitment to systemizing his process led Shon to consistently close over 100 buyer sales per year, year after year with just one assistant helping him. The system’s Shon employed created a consistent and predictable result resulting in a very streamlined and positive buying experience for his clients. Shon’s early success with his real estate business ultimately led him to found his own mortgage, title, land development and home building company outside his hometown of Denver CO.   After creating 6 streams of income from his real estate business Shon’s business experienced some real challenges as the recession of 2008 took it’s toll on him.   These changes ultimately led to Shon finding his true calling and purpose of helping others through coaching and training.  This shift in his business ultimately led to the creation of MAPS Coaching and Business Mastery and the creation of some of the most successful and impactful coaching companies within all of the real estate industry. Shon shares how he has used leverage to create explosive growth in both his real estate and coaching business. Leverage is found in 4 ways. Models Systems Technology People —By Who YOU can help you do these things? —By When - When will it happen by. Shon and ICON Coaching’s believe that Any Goal is Accomplishable, provided you have the right plan.  Shon’s methodology consists of three crucial components to success. ETA:  Expectations - Targets - Actions Know what you want and having specific clarity around that.  Expectation is a better word for Goal. Target:  A interim expectation that is measurable yet it is not grounded in a single type action. Actions:  Identify what actions are required to hit the target. Shon goes onto share. the single thing that determines ones success in sales your ability to remain relevant.  The easiest way to remain relevant  is your ability to add value to your database and position yourself in the mind of everybody within your sphere of influence.   The easiest way to build trust, rapport and loyalty is through education. Communicate, add value and educate your sphere of influence.   Shon’s recommendation for every sales profession is to focus on 3 key factors that you CAN control. Knowing What to say. Knowing HOW to say it Saying IT to enough people. ---------------------------------------- Real Stories of Success Facebook   Connect with Austin: Facebook / Website / Email / 317.797.3619   Connect with Ryan: Facebook / Instagram / Website / Email / 317.509.7431

This is a story of two leaders. We worked with the organisation on team leadership because one of their sales teams was "highly successful" and another was "doing poorly, with a very low morale". The organisation wanted us to "find out what's working in [the high-performing  team], fix the [low-performing team] and run a training programme for all the other sales teams to  be as good as [the high-performing team]." Ann, the leader of the high-performing team had joined the company 5 years previously as a  sales representative. She was good at her job and always exceeded her targets. She was  promoted to team leader after 3 years and had infused her own enthusiasm, determination and  will to her team. Her team members were happy, hard-working and also successful, most  exceeding targets. Joe, the leader of the low-performing team had similarly joined the company 5 years previously,  though as sales team leader. Joe's team were, by contrast, unhappy and unsuccessful in  achieving targets. This had been the case for all 5 years. The team members had changed  frequently over, this time, only one member remained from the original team that Joe took over. Ann was enthusiastic when we spoke with her about her success. Saying "It's great to have  such a wonderful team. I enjoy working with them and we're doing well." She went on, "My  boss is great, really believes in me and lets me run things the way I want. I like that, and I try  to treat everyone in the team the same way. When they are down about something, maybe  their kid is in trouble or sick, I let them take time out if they need to, so long as the work gets  done sometime, it doesn't 'have to be 9 to 5. I trust them to make up the time, and they do,  and more!" Joe was belligerent when we spoke, "I have tried everything possible to make these people  work harder and make target. They're always moaning that their kid's sick or they have to visit  the doctor. Always skiving off, taking toilet breaks, going for coffee. If I turn my back for one  instant, they're gone." When prompted, Joe continues, "My boss is pretty useless. Only ever  comes round at the end of the month to [tell me off] for not making target. To be honest, I'm fed  up, I don't 'think I'll ever get this team to perform and the stress is making me sick." There are, of course, several things here we could expand on, but what was clearly apparent  was that Ann's boss believed in her and she, in turn, believed in her team and their abilities, that  she could trust them and that they would deliver. Joe's Ann's boss believed in her and she, in turn, believed in her team and their abilities, that  she could trust them and that they would deliver. Joe's boss, didn't appear to be that  concerned for Joe and didn't help. Joe, in turn, trusted staff to 'skive' and believed that she  would never get the team to perform. When someone else, particularly someone in authority over you (a leader, parent, boss,  teacher) believes in you and your abilities it helps you to believe in yourself and your team.  What you believe on the inside, becomes manifest on the outside. This is usually the attitude  that you portray and the way you communicate. It saddens me that quite a number of clients I meet who have had someone steal their self-esteem at some point in their life. Be it a parent, a lousy teacher or a bullying superior. The good news for many is that it has helped them to turn victimhood into victory. Making sure that they never do that to someone else. But not everyone has someone who will help build them up. And, unsurprisingly, those who, like Joe, tend to believe the worst of everyone, were themselves robbed of their self-esteem earlier in their life and career. The great news is that you can turn it around, by appreciating your own value, your own core strengths and choose to edify yourself. The quickest and most effective way to build yourself up is remarkably simple. Believe in someone else today If, by some chance you are wishing that your parents, teachers, boss etc showed their belief in you… or even vaguely tempted to go “if only…” Go forth right now, find someone that you care about and say the following: “I believe in you. You can achieve anything you want to achieve.”
