Welcome to Separation Season. The fourth quarter of the real estate year has started, and most agents are already mentally checked out. They're talking about next year. They're planning December off. They've decided they earned it. That's the opportunity. Anything you put under contract after November 15 probably isn't closing this year, which means you have roughly 90 days to get real work done. On our team, September, October, and November account for as much as 31% of the business we close. Quitting now means walking away from nearly a third of your year. The core idea behind Separation Season is simple. Stay disciplined and focused while your competitors take their foot off the gas. You don't beat them by doing something clever, you beat them by still being in the game in December. Here's the whole system. Three numbers, tracked daily, posted somewhere you can see them: Daily conversations. How many people do you need to talk to every day? Weekly appointments. How many appointments are you going on in the next seven days? 90-day pending sales target. How many homes do you put under agreement in the next 90 days? Not closed, because closings aren't in your control. Under agreement. The first two are your lead indicators. The third is the lag indicator that follows from them. Nothing else matters over the next 90 days. That stretch is going to be noisy. Title company events, holiday parties, leaving early for trunk or treat. The agents who protect the daily conversation number through all of it come into January with momentum while everyone else is starting from zero. One more thing on goal setting: set a reasonable goal you know you can hit, then go after it with unreasonable effort. Doubling or quadrupling your business in twelve months isn't a plan, it's a wish. A realistic number attacked relentlessly beats a fantasy number abandoned in March. Credit to Adam Lavin on our team, who put it best in our Mastermind: you can advance a whole year in your business by finishing the fourth quarter strong. They're called holidays, not hollow months.

Alberta is heading toward a referendum on separation next month, and there are plenty of questions about what leaving Canada would actually look like. Gary Mar, Canada West Foundation CEO, released a new report examining the economic, trade, constitutional and financial implications of Alberta separation. He joins the show to discuss what the report found and what's at stake for Albertans.

Radical Intimacy The Illusion of Distance By default, many of us have this view of God where we're distinct. We're down here on earth. We're trying to pray up to God. It's a bit of a one-way prayer. We're shouting. We're hoping he's going to catch it. We're hoping he's listening. He's up there somewhere. He's dealing with other stuff and we're down here dealing with our stuff. But actually, that's not reality. It's just a perception that we have. And I actually think it's probably wrong teaching that many of us have had growing up. So prayer becomes a struggle to bridge a massive gap. Separation though feels safe. It feels orthodox and it feels reverent. It's a reverent thing to stay separate. But the Bible teaches something different. It teaches indwelling is the reality. It's a mutual indwelling too. So existence cannot happen outside of God. Estrangement is real, but it is a rupture in relationship, not an absolute metaphysical absence. So, while we might feel God is distant from time to time, we'll talk about that. In reality, he's not distant. Paul at Mars Hill Paul went to Athens and he preached on Mars Hill and that's what it looks like today. But it didn't always look like that. This is an architect's impression. So, you can see the Acropolis up top and you can see Mars Hill. That's that platform down the bottom. It wasn't like a marketplace or place where people gathered, just ordinary people. This is where the courts were and the council and all the philosophers. And this is where they had the big debates about reality and the spiritual world and whatever deity they might worship. This is where Paul preached. And I might just get Zara to come up here and read what Paul actually said. So she's going to read out of Acts 17:16–28. Reading of Acts 17:16–28 While Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy in Athens, he was deeply troubled by the idols he saw everywhere in the city. He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and he spoke daily in the public square to all those who happened to be there. He also had a debate with some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. When he told them about Jesus and his resurrection, they said, "What's this babbler trying to say with these strange ideas he's picked up?" The others said, "He seems to be preaching about some foreign gods." Then they took him to the high council of the city on Mars Hill. "Come and tell us about this new teaching," they said. "You are saying some rather strange things and we want to know what it's all about." It should be explained that all the Athenians as well as the foreigners in Athens seemed to be spending all their time discussing the latest ideas. So Paul, standing before the council, addressed them as follows: "Men of Athens, I noticed that you are very religious in every way. For as I was walking along, I saw many of your shrines, and one of your altars had this inscription on it: 'To an unknown god.' This God whom you worship without knowing is the one I'm telling you about. He is the God who made the world and everything in it. He is the Lord of heaven and earth. He doesn't need man-made temples and human hands can't serve his needs, for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything. He satisfies every need. From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall and determined their boundaries. His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way towards him and find him. Though he is not far from any one of us, for in him we live and move and exist. As some of your poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'" God as the Environment of Existence Quite an incredible statement. And if you look at Paul, who had the ministry to preach to the Gentiles, whenever he spoke to the Gentiles, this is probably the clearest preaching we hear from Paul or from anyone in the New Testament, preaching the gospel to the Gentiles. He ends with, "We are all his offspring." He's talking to people who never heard about God. Certainly not the God we worship. They worshipped all these other gods. We're all his offspring. Incredible statement. When Paul speaks to the philosophers in Athens, he doesn't describe a god who occasionally visits from afar. He describes a God who is the very environment in which humanity exists. Life never exists outside of God. For in him we live and move and have our being, our very existence. We don't exist without God. We are in him and he holds us all together. This is quite different from the view that God's up there, we're down here, and we're completely separate. And in fact, it's not just Paul who talked about this. This is a consistent thread throughout scripture. And it follows in several dimensions. There's the cosmic dimension, the entire universe. There's the sustaining dimension, where all things are being sustained in him. And there's the personal dimension. And this is the one that we want to actually realise and be awakened into. Scriptural Dimensions of Divine Presence In the cosmic dimension, quoting Jeremiah, God said to Jeremiah: "Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord." He fills heaven and earth. He's everywhere. We can't escape. If we look at the personal dimension there, as David is speaking: "I can never escape from your spirit. I can never get away from your presence. If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I go down to the grave, you are there." So, it doesn't matter where we are, what state we're in, whether we're here on earth, whether we've passed away, God is always there. And we don't cease to exist when we pass away. And in fact, in Revelation 14, Jesus is even present at the lake of fire. So, we think, "Oh, lake of fire. No, they've all been rejected by God. They're absent from God." It's in the presence of the Lamb and his angels. That's what's happening at the lake of fire. So, I'll let Paul talk about that more when he gets there in Revelation. And then sustaining: Paul writes in Colossians 1:15–17, "Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation. For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see, such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities of the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He exists before anything else, and he holds all creation together." So Paul brings us directly to Jesus Christ. Christ is the divine glue actively sustaining every atomic particle, every subatomic particle, every human heartbeat...everything. There is not this idea that we're separate and individual. Distinction Versus Separation I just wanted to make some crucial distinctions here before I go any further, because there are some confusing ideas out there. It centres around the difference between distinction and separation. Where is God? There is a New Age teaching which says the creator and creation are identical. There's no distinction. So the creation is God and God is the creation and they're all the same. That's obviously false teaching because there's no distinction there. If we look in the middle, the classical teaching is that there's a separation between God and us, and we have to figure out: are we good enough to get to God? Will he be interested in me? And then on the right-hand side, the whole of creation exists within a distinctly greater God. We are distinct. Creation is distinct. It isn't God, but it's held together by God and exists within God. I just want to really make sure there's a contrast that's understood here, because biblical union does not inflate the self. It requires the death of the false self to live in harmony with the truth. Remember from last time I said there is no resurrection without crucifixion. The death to that false self is required. New Age spirituality ignores sin and avoids accountability, whereas God exposes sin as a rupture in the shared life of God. It skips the cross and dismisses absolute truth in the New Age view. But the biblical view is centred entirely on Christ, the cross, the resurrection, and surrender from us. There's a stark difference. On the surface, they might seem similar, but they are actually opposites. Analogies of Indwelling and Distinction How can we be fully in God yet distinct from him? Here are some analogies to help understand this a bit further. The mind and the thought: a thought exists solely within the mind and depends on it completely. But the mind is far greater than a single thought. Without the mind, the thought doesn't exist at all. I think no analogy is perfect, but that's not a bad one. The ocean and the wave: the wave is completely distinct in form, but has no independent life or substance apart from the ocean that sustains it. You can't have a wave without an ocean. You can't have us without God. The author and the story: characters exist entirely within the author's imagination and sustaining presence. Yet, the author is not trapped in the book. The author isn't the book, he's not the characters, and the characters aren't the author. This helps us keep things in context and distinct. Even though we're not separated, we are distinct. The Revelation of Participation It goes even further because we often don't just view God as separate; we view ourselves as isolated individuals. But in Ephesians chapter 4, it didn't say that. The New Testament insists that shared human life is more fundamental than our divisions, and it's within Christ. Modern Western teaching is very individualistic...what your truth is, is your truth, and it is the truth for you, but it's not the truth for me, and all this sort of stuff. What scripture teaches is that the body is one. The body within Christ is one and has many members. We are one body in Christ and individual members of one another. Paul writes this to the various churches in Rome and Corinth, and it's a theme throughout scripture. Even Jesus talked about it, and I'm calling this the revelation of participation. If we look at Jesus' public ministry, he announced the arrival of the kingdom, and in Mark 1:15 he says, "Repent, for the kingdom of God is near." Repent doesn't mean think about all the sins you did, say you're sorry, and promise not to do them again. Repent is turn towards God. We're turning away from the old man, turning to the new man. This is metanoia, turning towards God. Jesus stopped there in his public ministry. Until people repented, they couldn't move on to the next step, because the next step is the private revelation that Jesus gave to his disciples, which required repentance. Unless you've turned to God, you can't actually enter the next step, which is revealing that the life inside this kingdom is defined by mutual indwelling and shared divine life. If he tried to preach that to people who weren't even in the mindset of turning towards God, it just wouldn't make any sense to them.  Woven into the Trinitarian Life  In John 17, Jesus didn't simply pray for moral harmony or a corporate framework that's out of the flesh. He asked for humanity to be woven directly into the Trinitarian life. He prays that they may all be one...all of us being one. "Father, just as you are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us." That's pretty profound. John 14 says, "On that day"...and that's the day of Pentecost Jesus is talking about..."you will realise that I am in the Father, and you are in me, and I am in you." There's a mutual indwelling: us in him and him in us. I would encourage you to go and read from John 14 through to John 17, because there's a whole slab of scripture there that is just mind-blowing. I've cheekily put us inside this diagram that's often used to represent the Trinity, because I'm not saying we are God at all. I'm saying we can participate in being in him, because Paul writes to the Corinthian church and says he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. There's this inclusive language that we're just not used to.  Then this brings us full circle back to John 3:16. What is the gospel? That you can have eternal life. Jesus tells us what it is: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. That is eternal life. This is eternal life: full communion with God, being with God and God being with us. It's not just going to heaven one day and staying there forever.  The Origin of Felt Distance If we live in God, why do we feel so distant? We've all felt that God is distant. Scripture speaks of alienation and outer darkness. But sin is not relocating completely outside of God's existence. It's a rupture in relationship and perception. It's living out of the illusion of perception. The old self comes into play. We become self-dependent. We view ourselves as independent from God. We decide what we want to do and set ourselves up as a little god in charge of ourselves. We lack that communion with God, and we're blinded by it. In Ephesians 4:17–25, Paul captures this: "You must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practise every kind of impurity. But that is not the way you learned Christ! Assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbour, for we are members of one another." It's very inclusive language. It's a matter of waking up so we don't feel that alienation. We have to gain those spiritual eyes by taking our focus off ourselves and putting it onto him. The Paradigm Shift There is a paradigm shift required here. In prayer, instead of calling up to the sky to reach a distant god, we need to tune into the divine presence that's already holding us together. In discipleship, instead of trying hard to obey the rules of a far-off boss...the Ten Commandments...it is about waking up to the reality of the vine and allowing his life to flow through you. That is why you don't want to murder somebody: because you aren't harbouring anger toward people. From the perspective of love, instead of maintaining a moral to-do list..."be nice to others because that's what I need to do; I really don't like those people, but I have to be nice to them"...it is living in harmony with our shared biological and spiritual reality. We are members of one body, and Christ is all and in all. Prayer is no longer an attempt to project your voice across the empty cosmic void. It is the practice of sinking into the sustaining presence that is already holding you together...moving from reaching to abiding.  Spiritual growth is not a frantic effort to close a gap, but a peaceful yielding to the faith of Christ already at work within you. How do we allow the faith of Christ to flow? Through our faith...we turn that valve on the tap to allow the faith of Christ to flow in us.  From isolation to communion, we cease viewing faith as a purely private endeavour and begin viewing every human interaction as an event happening within the shared life of God. This is another dimension of how we participate in presence prayer. The Present Kingdom The good news is already here. The gospel isn't a roadmap for how to reach a distant, reluctant God. It is an invitation to participate in life itself through Christ. The illusion of separation is shattered, and we are invited to wake up to the presence that has held us all along. Where is the kingdom of God? It is within us. The kingdom of God is not up there somewhere. Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world." The kingdom is within us through the Holy Spirit. That is the reality we have been given. I'll now play a five minute video which brings all this together… A Deeper Perspective on Union and Panentheism Most of us grew up with a very specific geographic assumption about how the universe works: God is up there completely outside of the world, and we are down here separated by a massive, unbridgeable gap. This worldview is often called classical theism. It paints a picture of a creator who is completely separate from his creation, looking down on reality from a safe distance. That perceived distance takes a real emotional toll. When God feels far away, prayer starts to feel like trying to place a long-distance phone call into the sky, hoping the signal somehow reaches him. It also turns the entire concept of salvation into an escape plan. The ultimate goal becomes abandoning a doomed earth so we can cross that cosmic divide and reach a distant heaven. Under this framework, the spiritual life devolves into a relentless, exhausting exercise. We spend our days striving, reaching, and trying to close the gap between ourselves and a completely unreachable entity. Because we are so used to that distance, introducing words like oneness, indwelling, or union makes a lot of Christians immediately uncomfortable. It is easy to see why. For many, that language sounds uncomfortably close to New Age mysticism or eco-spirituality. It triggers a fear that we are simply glorifying the self. The deeper theological concern is that embracing oneness compromises God's holiness. It feels as if we are blurring the line between the creator and the creation, pulling God down to our level. What if our extreme caution has a massive blind spot? What if avoiding these mystical-sounding words means we are accidentally rejecting the language of the Bible itself? In our desperate attempt to protect a safe, distant orthodoxy, we might be ignoring what the scriptures literally say about the nature of our reality. The Biblical Case Against Separation The moment you look closely at the text, the idea of a distant god starts to crack. Take Paul's speech to the philosophers in Athens in Acts 17. Paul uses incredibly specific, radical language. He tells them that God is not far from any of us, stating plainly that in him we live and move and have our being. He doubles down on this in Ephesians 4, describing one God who is above all and through all and in all. God transcends creation yet is intimately present inside every part of it. Jesus takes this even further in John 17. The night before his crucifixion, he prays for his followers, asking explicitly that they may all be one just as he and the Father are one. The Bible explicitly portrays a reality where humanity exists inside God's presence. These are not isolated metaphors; they completely dismantle the concept of a detached "man upstairs." This dynamic illustrates panentheism: the universe existing entirely within God's sustaining presence. Contrast that with pantheism, which collapses the distinction, claiming creator and creation are identical. To grasp panentheism, think of characters existing entirely within an author's imagination while the author remains infinitely greater and distinct from the narrative. This framework balances the biblical text. It preserves God's absolute holiness and distinction without requiring him to be physically distant from the reality we live in. The Illusion of Disconnection This raises a glaring question: if we exist entirely inside of God, why do we experience such profound feelings of isolation, darkness, and sin? The answer lies in the difference between distinction and separation. We are distinct beings, but never truly separated from the one holding us together. Sin isn't physical separation from God. It is a rupture in our relationship, a distortion in our own perception, a life turned away from the truth. Sin is the tragic illusion of living as if we are completely disconnected from the very source that is currently sustaining our existence. Recognising this ongoing presence dictates how we must interpret Jesus' public command to repent. The original Greek word he used is metanoia. It requires a total shift in perception and a completely new way of seeing reality, rather than a simple moral clean-up. Jesus explained this intimately to his disciples when he called himself the vine and us the branches. A branch lacks independent life. Its entire existence relies on a shared, participatory connection with the vine. The gospel is not an evacuation plan to a distant heaven. It is a radical invitation to wake up to the divine reality that is already surrounding us here and now. This awakened state extends directly to how we view each other. If every single human being exists within the exact same sustaining presence, then ultimate isolation is a physical and spiritual myth. We are, as Paul wrote, members of one another. This gives entirely new weight to the command to love your neighbour as yourself. This directive goes far beyond simple advice for getting along. Loving others is not a moral checklist; it is living in perfect alignment with the physics of reality, recognising that we all share the exact same source of life.

Welcome to episode #1053 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Eric Ries is one of the most influential entrepreneurs and management thinkers of the past two decades. Best known as the creator of the Lean Startup movement, his ideas fundamentally changed how founders, innovators, and established organizations build products, test ideas, and bring innovation to market. His work has shaped startups, Fortune 500 companies, governments, and nonprofits around the world, earning him recognition as one of the defining voices on modern entrepreneurship. In his latest book, Incorruptible - Why Good Companies Go Bad... And How Great Companies Stay Great, Eric turns his attention to a much deeper question: why do organizations that begin with strong values and bold missions so often lose their way? Drawing on years of advising founders and studying corporate history, he argues that corruption is rarely about bad people... it's about systems, incentives, governance, and what he calls "financial gravity," the invisible forces that slowly pull organizations away from the very principles that made them successful in the first place. In this conversation, Eric explores why mission-driven companies outperform over the long term, how corporate governance can preserve or destroy an organization's purpose, and why stewardship may be one of business's most undervalued leadership traits. We also discuss the unintended consequences of shareholder primacy, what today's AI revolution can learn from previous waves of technological disruption, and why the future belongs to organizations that are intentionally designed to remain true to their values even as they scale. It's a thoughtful conversation about leadership, innovation, governance, and what it really takes to build companies that endure. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 53:30.

The episode opens with a macro segment on the August payroll number coming in at triple expectations, what a strong labor print does to the Fed's split mandate, and why the long end of the curve is not buying what Powell, Warsh, and Bessent are saying, with 52-week highs across the two, five, and ten year.Hans and Oto cover the Kennedy School years and learning macroeconomics from central bankers, the EUA statute and the right to refuse, the boilerplate denials that exposed the religious accommodation process, the recouped bonus and the debt the Navy handed to the Treasury, and the pediatrician appointment that ended the vaccine question permanently. From there they get into human life value and what most families are actually insured for, protect save grow as an order of operations, base premium versus PUA and why structure determines year one cash value, the policy loan and its absence of underwriting or repayment schedule, and the average rate of return fallacy that holds up even with perfect hindsight. Because Oto's audience operates in the private and Hans works in the public, they draw that line explicitly throughout.

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with high-conflict divorce coach and One Mom's Battle founder Tina Swithin about how narcissistic abuse can intensify after separation when an abuser uses custody proceedings, false allegations, and repeated court filings to maintain control. Tina shares her experience entering family court with almost no money, representing herself through more than 40 court dates, and trying to protect her daughters while the systems around her repeatedly failed to recognize the danger.Tina explains legal abuse, covert stalking, counterparenting, and parental alienation accusations, along with why documentation and strategy became essential to her case. The conversation also examines the impossible position protective parents face when they are ordered to send their children into situations they believe are unsafe.You can find everything Tina Swithin mentioned on the show at https://www.onemomsbattle.com/*** RERELEASE EPISODE - THIS EPISODE IS A RERELEASE FROM OUR EARLY YEARS.

TikTok has given us a whole new vocabulary for talking about relationships—red flags, gaslighting, love bombing, avoidant attachment, narcissism, trauma bonding and more. And while having language to recognize unhealthy relationship patterns can be incredibly valuable, have we started using those labels a little too freely? In this episode, I explore the good and the not-so-good side of social media relationship advice and whether constantly analyzing our partners' behavior is helping us make healthier choices—or making us suspicious of perfectly imperfect human beings. Because sometimes a red flag really is a red flag... and sometimes he's just getting on your nerves. - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

The episode details a structural shift toward increased automation and integration of AI layers within managed services platforms, raising questions of risk management, transparency, and economic models. Syncro's integration with Anthropic's AI, positioned as a native connector in the Anthropic ecosystem, exemplifies how platform providers are embedding AI to automate routine technical work and streamline technician workflows.Syncro's leadership claims their platform is targeting up to 30% autonomous handling of Level 1 and Level 2 technical tasks by the end of the year and 50% by 2027, according to internal projections. Current reported outcomes show between 15% and 25% of tickets resolved autonomously via guided ticket resolution, with ticket summarization reportedly improving time to action and resolution speeds by up to 50% for some ticket types. The company indicates that economic models are in flux, as large language models are being run at a loss and cost recovery is being managed via credit-based usage tied to task volume.Supporting developments include the persistent gap in adoption: only 5-10% of Syncro partners—primarily larger, more mature MSPs—are actively leveraging these AI-driven features, according to company estimates. There is also ongoing debate about the continued necessity of tickets as a unit of work, with Syncro's product team emphasizing the importance of visibility, measurement, and audit traceability amidst increasing automation.For MSPs and IT leaders, these shifts signal increased vendor dependency and exposure to evolving cost structures related to AI model consumption. There are governance considerations regarding transparency and audit trails for AI-driven operational decisions, and practical questions around adoption readiness, as the efficiency gains are not automatic and depend on proactive enablement. Operators should monitor changing license and consumption models, scrutinize audit and accountability processes, and reassess how automation may alter labor and cost dynamics.Supported by:GoTo(LogMeIn)Proofpoint

Melisa and Alli talk about how those early relationships after coming out can feel safe, but the reality is, you're drowning so anything feels "safe." We share how we've learned from those early relationships how we want to parent and co-parent our children and protect that dynamic. And what it means to feel truly fulfilled in life. We also reference this article from the Washington Post about people who choose to be child-free.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lesbian-chronicles-coming-out-later-in-life--5601514/support.

Welcome to episode #1052 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Lifang He has spent more than two decades helping some of the world's most influential technology companies build products that people don't just use... they love. A global brand strategist and product marketing leader, she has led branding, go-to-market, and growth initiatives for companies including Apple, Amazon, and Ring. During her time at Apple's longtime creative agency, TBWAMedia Arts Lab, she helped shape global iPhone launches, giving her a front-row seat to one of the most successful product introductions in history. Her new book, Brand Power Built In - How Tech Products Really Win Hearts and Minds, argues that too many companies still treat branding as something that happens after a product is built, when the real opportunity is embedding brand thinking into product design from the very beginning. In this episode, Lifang explains why the strongest technology companies don't separate product from brand, but instead view every customer interaction as an opportunity to build trust, differentiation, and emotional connection. We discuss category creation, product education, customer adoption, and why successful innovations require both functional excellence and a compelling human story. The conversation also explores the leadership challenges of maintaining a clear product vision, why companies often lose sight of their original "why" through endless trade-offs, and how AI is creating an entirely new generation of products whose ultimate competitive advantage may not be technology alone... but the brands behind them. Lifang makes the case that in an increasingly AI-driven world where products rapidly converge, brand will become one of the few sustainable sources of differentiation. Enjoy the conversation...

There's a slew of scandals rocking South America right now, implicating the U.S. in schemes involving sex, cocaine, and murder (the greatest hits).

Can a little relationship math actually help keep a couple connected? In this episode, I'm talking about the viral 777 Relationship Rule—the idea of intentionally making time for a date every 7 days, a night or getaway together every 7 weeks, and a vacation every 7 months. I'm sharing what I think the rule gets right, where real life might make the formula a little unrealistic, and whether relationships really need a schedule to keep connection from getting lost in work, kids and everyday responsibilities.

Ladies and Gents, theys and thems, we welcome back to the show the sharp as a tack editorial cartoonist, Kevin Kallaugher, of The Economist, and recently ousted from The Baltimore Sun and attorney, Barry Lynn, formerly Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and author of Piety & Politics: The Right-Wing Assault on Religious Freedom and (titled by me) Paid to Piss People Off: Peace, Porn, and Prayer.And, boy, do we get into it: Kal's 50th anniversary at The Economist, scandals, discovering Barry has a book of Kal's, how to engage with the checked out, mid-terms, the military, Sigh...The Democrats, Freedom of Expression Under Siege, fighting government overreach, the lame stream media, organizing on substack, Jerry Fucking Falwell, satire, humor, cartoonists and comedians and their similarities, Lewis Black, money, defining charisma, USA Bicentennial, BIG RIP to "Flimsy Lindsay" Graham, Mamdani, a box of flaming excrement, and, actually, maybe a few more boxes of burning shit.

The Treaty of Paris handed the United States a wilderness empire running to the Mississippi and the Great Lakes — and the bankrupt Confederation needed to sell it, fast, because western land was very nearly the only asset it had. There was one problem: the nations who lived there had never been conquered, had signed nothing, and were not leaving. This is the story of how the United States tried to take the Ohio country on the cheap — the dictated treaties that told the Shawnee and the Delaware they were a defeated people, the great confederacy that rose to reject them and offered a negotiated peace instead, and a Congress so broke and so empty it could neither accept that peace nor fight the war that followed. General Washington had warned in 1783 that buying the land would cost less than taking it. Nobody could afford to listen. It is the story of a committee of Congress formally concluding that the government could not protect its own citizens — and of Governor Patrick Henry's warning that a frontier left undefended would drive the whole West into separation from the union.

What would Alberta separation actually cost...and who would pay the price? Economist Jim Stanford joins us (5:00) to break down the enormous economic risks of leaving Canada, from trade and debt to pensions, investment and the cost of building a new country.

In this Resilience Unravelled episode, host Dr Russell Thackeray interviews Chris Hill, a London-based “lived experience practitioner” who helps people with mental health and addiction by teaching an educational “separation model” that distinguishes the conscious self from mind/body mechanisms.Hill shares his own 20-year history of addiction and explains addiction as dopamine-driven habitual wiring that can be harmful when it causes damage to self or others, spanning substances (nicotine, alcohol, drugs) and behaviours (gambling, sex, porn, shopping, social media).He argues modern society “hacks” survival mechanisms, highlights environmental risks such as youth vaping and its gateway effects, and criticises willpower-only approaches.Hill outlines his book Get Your Life Back, his private mentoring via beatmyaddictions.com, and his charity robhillfoundation.org, founded after his twin brother's fatal overdose in 2014.00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:37 Chris Hill Background01:10 Personal Addiction Journey02:49 What Addiction Means05:46 Physical vs Behavioural Addictions08:24 Who Is Most Vulnerable10:33 Environment and Youth Vaping13:48 Education and Rewiring Solution16:59 Separation Model Explained22:13 Natural State and Breaking the Cycle23:38 Book and Program Options26:24 Support Community and Faith28:01 Charity Links and ClosingYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com#resilience, #burnout, #intuition

Aurora Campus 

Welcome to episode #1051 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Dr. Sebastian Wernicke has built his career at the intersection of data science, artificial intelligence, economics, and decision-making. He leads the Data Science and AI team at Oxera, one of Europe's leading economics consultancies, and has become widely recognized for his ability to make complex ideas about data both accessible and deeply human. Many people first encountered Sebastian through his memorable TED Talk, which cleverly used data to satirize TED Talks themselves, but his work has always been driven by a much bigger question: how can organizations use data to challenge assumptions instead of reinforcing them? His new book, Data Inspired - Building An Organizational Culture Of Inquiry For Lasting Transformation, argues that businesses have become too focused on being "data-driven" and not focused enough on becoming "data-inspired." In this episode, Sebastian explains why more data doesn't automatically lead to better decisions, why confirmation bias often causes us to use data to strengthen existing beliefs, and why the greatest value of data lies not in optimization but in transformation. We also discuss the promises and disappointments of big data, the rise of generative AI, synthetic data, AI agents, and why the hardest challenge facing organizations isn't technological... it's cultural. Along the way, Sebastian makes a compelling case that leadership is ultimately about designing environments where people are encouraged to ask better questions, embrace uncertainty, and use evidence to change their minds rather than defend them.

In this Lonesome Conversation, Adam and I explore his conviction that separation is a trick of perspective — that whether you zoom in with a microscope or out with a telescope, you're looking at the same unbroken whole, and that "there is God, and we're it." We trace how entomology, the world's religions, and psychedelics converged for him into one felt truth rather than a hopeful idea: that we're never actually alone. A conversation about the kind of existential loneliness that dissolves the moment you stop believing in the boundary.About AdamAdam Butler is a psychedelic philosopher and passionate DMT psychonaut focusing on mental health, neuroplasticity, self-exploration, and the extreme limits of human potential and ability. Combining an academically trained intellect, empathetic heart, and life-hardening experiences, Adam has found his niche in helping others overcome the fear associated with PTSD, depression, sexual repression, and addiction. By incorporating psychedelic compounds with deep meditation, lucid dreaming, and tantric practices, he has changed from being an overworked, overweight, stressed-out alcoholic asshole into a balanced, healthy, and sober friend and mentor to many. Lonesome Conversations Limited SeriesLonesome Conversations is a special series from The Life Stylist, built around my new book, A Horse Named Lonesome (out November 17, 2026). Loneliness is something almost everyone goes through, and almost nobody talks about honestly. So I sat down with psychologists, philosophers, trauma therapists, teachers, and friends to find the truth about loneliness, and how we heal from it. Each episode is its own conversation, but together they walk the same ground the book maps out.

The 2026 G-League Coach of the Year, Vitor Galvani, joins us to detail how he built and adjusted Hedge & Plug in Brazil and the G League. He explains why the coverage made sense in what he calls a “scoring guards league,” how the pickup point changes the plug technique, the triggers for releasing the hedge, and why re-screens and late flips can put the coverage under real stress.   The conversation moves behind the ball to Galvani's “Protection Plan”: the MIG and Fence, jumping pickups to discourage direct corner skips, choosing when not to X-out, “See Numbers Go,” peel switching, and building Black, White, and Gray changeups around the same defensive identity. On offense, Galvani gets into KYP on guard-to-guard screens, creating separation before the action, Hot Stove versus Cold Stove screens, and using second-side pass-and-chase actions to attack switching.    In Start, Sub, or Sit, Galvani challenges the usual pace conversation by starting shot selection, connecting offensive involvement to defensive effort, and explaining why his team moved the ball side to side with purpose. He closes with the relationship between shot quality, Tagging Up, and offensive rebounding, along with the daily investment that shaped his coaching education.What You'll LearnHow the ballhandler's pickup point changes the on-ball defender's responsibilities within Hedge & Plug.  The two triggers Galvani used to release the big from the hedge.  Why re-screens and late flips are difficult Hedge & Plug counters, and when switching becomes the emergency solution.  How the MIG and Fence form the “Protection Plan,” including having the Fence jump the pickup rather than automatically X-out.  How “See Numbers Go” and peel switching turn aggressive gap positioning into opportunities for steals.  Why Galvani trained some peel switches as reads rather than relying on a defensive call.  How Black, White, and Gray allowed his team to change the ball-screen picture without abandoning its defensive base.  Why KYP comes before pace and technique when teaching guard-to-guard screening.  How separation, randomness, and “action on top of action” keep guard-to-guard screens from being steered or jammed.  How shot selection can influence offensive pace, defensive effort, Tagging Up, and offensive rebounding.To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

In this episode of Perfect Prey, I'm joined by award-winning journalist and author Jess Hill for an important conversation about coercive control, domestic abuse, victim-survivors, children, and post-separation abuse.We explore what coercive control looks like, why it can be difficult to recognize, and how perpetrators maintain power through psychological, emotional, financial, and other forms of abuse. We also discuss how abuse can continue after separation through stalking, harassment, legal systems, and family court.Jess and I examine the impact on children, the importance of recognizing coercive control when assessing risk, and her work toward criminalizing coercive control in Australia—while emphasizing that legal reform is only one part of creating meaningful change for victim-survivors.What we cover• What coercive control actually is—and why it is often misunderstood• How coercive control can be difficult to recognize while you are experiencing it• The psychological and emotional impact of living under coercive control• Why leaving an abusive relationship does not necessarily mean the abuse ends• Post-separation abuse, stalking, harassment, and continued control• How children experience and are affected by coercive control• The ways children can become part of an abusive dynamic• Family court and the challenges faced by victim-survivors navigating legal systems• Why understanding patterns of behavior matters when assessing risk• The importance of listening to victim-survivors and taking coercive control seriously• Jess's work toward criminalizing coercive control in Australia• Law reform, prevention, and creating meaningful systemic changeWhy listenCoercive control is often misunderstood because it does not always look like what people expect abuse to look like. There may be no single incident that explains what is happening. Instead, control can develop through patterns of behavior that gradually restrict a person's autonomy, freedom, relationships, and sense of self.This conversation is also about what happens after a victim-survivor leaves. Separation can become another stage of control, particularly when perpetrators use legal systems, children, stalking, or other mechanisms to maintain power.For survivors, protective parents, clinicians, attorneys, advocates, researchers, and anyone trying to better understand coercive control, this episode offers an important conversation about recognizing patterns, understanding risk, and creating systems that better protect victims and children.Guest bioJess Hill is an award-winning Australian journalist and author focused on domestic abuse, coercive control, and gender-based violence. She is the author of See What You Made Me Do, a groundbreaking examination of domestic abuse and coercive control. Through her journalism, research, and advocacy, Jess has helped shape conversations around domestic violence, prevention, and law reform in Australia. Connect with Jess Hill:Instagram: @jessicahelenhillWebsite: www.jesshill.com.auBook: See What You Made Me Do available on AmazonPodcast: www.vwt.org.au/thetrapConnect with Dr. Christine:Protective Parenting Program: Protective Parenting ProgramOfficial site: www.coercivecontrolconsulting.comYouTube: www.TikTok: @dr.c_coercivecontrolInstagram: www.youtube.com/@DrCocchiola-coercivecontrolTEDxTalk: https://youtu.be/gp2qByKOue4?si=jJpjpRewxHD9JdYgBooks:FRAMED: Women in the Family Court UnderworldEvery Moment of Every DayAvailable on Amazon.If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it, subscribe for more trauma-informed conversations, and consider leaving a review.

In episode three of this special series of Defensible Decisions discussing Ogletree's Talent Risk Assessor, shareholders Scott Kelly (Birmingham/Washington) and Chris Near (Columbia) are joined by Chrissy Blantz from the firm's Data Analytics team to examine separations and terminations—an area of the employment lifecycle where legal risk is often most acute. Using a hypothetical multi-state employer, the speakers walk through how a statistically significant flag in overall separation rates can be disaggregated by involuntary versus voluntary terminations and further broken down by separation reason codes to identify the actual driver behind the pattern, in this case, disproportionate use of temporary, time-limited roles. The episode illustrates how a data-driven, legally informed inquiry, conducted under privilege and properly documented, builds a defensible position even when the underlying cause turns out to have a legitimate explanation.

Are the PCA and OPC schismatic churches, or were they right to separate from corrupt mainline denominations?In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird discuss the theology of schism, ecclesiastical jurisdiction, Redeemed Zoomer's argument for reconquering the PCUSA, and whether conservatives have a duty to remain inside broken institutions.They explore what constitutes a true church, when separation is justified, the difference between unity and compromise, the Old Testament temple argument, Presbyterian history in America, and why Christians should pursue real unity in faith, hope, and love without pretending doctrinal corruption does not matter.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Canada tells us to French kiss their trou du cul (hole of butt, per Google Translate). Then we get into the business and political panic over everyone hating data centers, just because it's fun to be psychic. Why won't towns let criminals who got their seed capital from Epstein take over their towns. It's perplexing, apparently.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Are women's dating standards really too high—or are women simply becoming less willing to accept relationships that don't add enough to their lives? In this episode, I dive into the ongoing debate about women being told to lower their standards in order to find or keep a partner. There's a big difference between expecting perfection and expecting communication, effort, respect, emotional availability and genuine partnership. So instead of immediately asking women what they're willing to lower, maybe we should also be asking whether some men are willing to raise what they're bringing to the relationship. - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

After following up on Justice Alito's summer interview, the new birthright-citizenship executive orders, and the Court's record-low approval numbers, we devote the episode to Cisco Systems v. Doe, the Falun Gong surveillance case that closes the door Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain left open for new Alien Tort Statute claims. We try to build a theory of the ATS from first principles — Section 9 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, the law of nations, and the Marbois affair — before running through two decades of the Court narrowing the statute. Then we ask what to make of "door closing" as a phenomenon, from Edwards v. Vannoy to Rucho, and whether the Court would really be stuck if the perfect ATS unicorn finally showed up. Along the way: whether Justice Alito is an I-95 or an Amtrak guy, the seven-case October calendar led by Suncor, Rooker anti-Feldmanism, and a Phoenix bar band called the Blackstone Three.Highlights[00:00:21] Opening: 29 episodes makes a record-breaking season, and the secret to sub-4-hour recording sessions[00:02:28] Justice Alito's WSJ interview with James Taranto: "Obviously I'm here for another term," the vultures, and his high school English teacher's psychoanalysis[00:06:27] How Will became a libertarian: Mr. Flannery, Lexis news alerts for "Ayn Rand," and golfer David Duval[00:09:48] Still no action on the mail-in voting applications; a White House ballroom emergency application expected any day[00:11:15] No rehearing petition in Trump v.
