The National Endowment for the Arts has been with us for sixty years, coinciding conspicuously with the ascendancy of nihilistic works that pollute our public spaces. Justin Shubow aims to change all of that. He's a top candidate to chair the NEA under the second Trump administration and has a particular interest in the proper design of federal architecture. What have columns and Roman arches to do with the re-moralization of the free citizen? Listen in to find out. Plus, James, Steve and Charlie adjust to Biden's just-declared 28th amendment; they work their way through the confirmation hearing highlights; and lose themselves in a David Lynch-like daydream.- Sound clips from this week's open: David Lynch on movies (KGSM MediaCache) and “Mr. Baseball” on family (MLB Media)

Andy Hilger recently completed a 25-year career with Allegis Group, his last six years serving as the president of the global staffing and services company. He currently serves as a guest lecturer at Duke University and American University, and writes a regular LinkedIn blog on leadership. Andy shares insights on finding fulfillment in the workplace, learning through failures, and the evolving role of leadership in a rapidly changing world. Andy discusses his early career struggles, from overcoming rejection to dealing with imposter syndrome. He reflects on the importance of embracing failure, recounting his experiences of being cut from school basketball teams and how it shaped his outlook on resilience and grit. Transitioning into business, Andy emphasizes how businesses can act as a force for good, outlining the potential for companies to balance purpose with profit. Andy touches on critical themes such as accountability, agency, and creating a culture of trust in the workplace. Andy delves into how leaders can use empathy alongside clear expectations to foster engagement. Andy shares his approach to personal growth, highlighting the importance of cultivating purpose over chasing traditional markers of success. He advises young professionals to embrace learning, prioritize meaningful work, and navigate careers with agility and curiosity. Key Takeaways [01:25] Andy opens up about what's not in his public bio. He shares how being cut from his 8th and 9th-grade basketball teams and facing repeated rejections in his career taught him resilience and the value of grit. “The failures are what shape us more than the accomplishments.” [06:03] Andy discusses how businesses can be a force for good. He explains that while nonprofits do great work, they often lack scalability. Businesses, with their resources, have the ability to drive meaningful change by aligning profits with purpose. “Money is critical, but it should fund purpose and mission.” [10:08] In his work with students, Andy encourages them not to wait for a position of power to start making an impact. He teaches them that they can begin shaping the organizations they join and the impact they have, starting today, by recognizing their own agency and acting with urgency. [12:34] Andy shares a pivotal early career moment when he was encouraged to deliver feedback to a superior. This experience taught him the value of creating a culture where feedback is not just accepted but expected. “Giving feedback isn't optional; it's an obligation.” [19:38] Andy spoke to 500 freshmen at West Virginia University and found them curious and eager to make a difference but uncertain how to do so. While some stereotypes about their generation hold, he found them engaged and motivated. They were stressed about internships, choosing majors, and managing financial pressures. Andy advised them to focus on learning and meaningful experiences rather than specific career outcomes, believing the true value of education lies in skills and relationships developed over time. [25:24] Andy expresses concerns about AI's impact on society. He warns against the industry's focus on maximizing profit at the expense of ethical considerations. “We need to prioritize wisdom over intelligence to ensure technology serves humanity.” [35:51] Reflecting on his journey, Andy explains how shifting from an imposter mindset to one of growth helped him navigate challenges. He encourages leaders to foster environments where others can make that same transition. [43:51] Andy discussed how businesses need to adapt to meet new expectations. He believes companies should move away from traditional hierarchies and create flexible environments. Hiring for adaptability and continuous learning is crucial. Leaders should focus on providing meaningful work and ensuring that their companies deliver value to customers, as knowledge quickly becomes outdated. [46:32] And remember, "It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit." — Denis Waitley Quotable Quotes “The resume is a glossy view, but the failures are what shape us more than the accomplishments.” “We are more a culmination of our failures than just the things that end up on the resume.” “Money can't be the end goal; it has to fund purpose and mission.” “Profits are the oxygen that allows businesses to live their mission.” “Leadership isn't a prize; it's an awesome responsibility.” “Leadership isn't about waiting for a title; it's about starting where you are to make an impact.” “Learning to love learning is the most important skill in today's dynamic world.” “No one will care what you majored in; learning to love learning is the key to success.” “Wisdom must guide intelligence; without it, we risk serving the tools we create.” "Focus on your learning potential, not your earning potential."

Expectations, whether big or small, define our lives. To our dismay, our lives often don't go according to our expectations. Time and time again, we wrestle with expectations that are placed on us and that we have of others, and we agonize over the delays, disappointments, and comparisons, even to the point of criticizing ourselves for struggling with our struggles. However, the gospel is good news because God understands that in our humanity we struggle with expectations. The process of faith can at times feel awful, but in our surrender to his sovereignty, we can take a deep breath knowing beauty and redemption await at the other end of his call, as they did from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection.

Thank You To Our Partners, The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing and In-BoundIn this episode of Speak Up - our host Craig O'Neill welcomes his friend and Instructor Kent Bullard from the Institute to discuss the impact of stories and speaking. This will be one of many conversations with Kent because, as you will see, these two have a characteristically great time discussing their journeys and share in plenty of hearty laughter. This episode is recommended to be listened to in a hot tub with a green smoothie… this will make more sense as you listen. This discussion with Kent was framed around both his roles not just as an instructor, but also an attendee, and even a curator of speaking events. Speak Up listeners will enjoy hearing Kent describe the challenge of curating speakers and how the best topics to bring in isn't always the one people know to ask for.Craig also takes time in this conversation to describe the lasting impact from professional speakers who were at the Institutes inaugural summit in 2023. In particular how the keynote speaker at that summit made a reading recommendation that is STILL having a transformative impact on his own life. This episode among all the topics covered is a jovial good time, we know it will encourage you to plan on attending the next summit coming up very soon in February 2025!

The evidence is clear. Stronger athletes move better, get injured less and stay engaged with sport for longer. But what should strength training look like for children? My guest today is Dr Ben Pullen, PhD in paediatric strength and conditioning and the founder of Young Athlete Training. Ben's work integrates the physical and psychological considerations of development to provide novel, engaging and individualised strength training to both child and teenage athletes. In this conversation, we learn all about Ben's approach, including the four pillars that underpin his work, his specific methodology and why it's so powerful for children, how he periodises his challenge-based training, new science that shows how children learn, and much more. I'm a huge fan of Ben's mission and I'm so stoked to share it with you. Enjoy!For more on creating EPIC learning environments that bring out the best in your athletes and yourself, sign up for Craig's free newsletter Beyond the Game here.Connect with Craig on Social:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitterSupport the show

It's been eight years since the loss of my father-in-law to suicide, a tragedy that changed our lives forever. In the immediate aftermath, my family faced moments of self-destruction and deep despair. But through it all, we learned not to stay anchored in that pain. Instead, we chose to let that experience shape who we are today and guide us toward growth and understanding.Our past can't be erased, and we can't change what happened. But what we can do is acknowledge it, learn from it, and use it as a stepping stone to become stronger versions of ourselves. Today, I want to talk about that journey—how we can remember without dwelling, and how every experience, even the painful ones, can align to give our lives purpose and direction. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sara14530/support
On November 5, all eyes will be on the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump for the White House. But no matter who wins the presidency, there's another close competition that will have a huge impact on U.S. politics: the fight for control of Congress. In fact, next year's Congress will play a role in our politics even before the next president is sworn in; they'll be responsible for certifying election results on January 6, 2025. Republicans appear very likely to regain control of the Senate, while control of the House of Representatives is up for grabs. To make sense of this crucial battleground within the 2024 election, Dan Richards spoke with Olivia Beavers, a congressional reporter for Politico who focuses on House Republicans and the GOP leadership. They discuss why so many House races are so close this year, how control of Congress will affect the next presidential administration and the role House Republicans would play if Trump decides to contest the results of this November's election.

Jeffrey Hall is a Professor of Communication Studies and the Director of the Relationships and Technology Lab at the University of Kansas. He studies the way technology influences relationships, including the impact of social media on feelings of belonging, connectedness and loneliness. The harms of social platforms have been well documented over the past decade – political polarization, misinformation – but is social media also to blame for the rise in loneliness? On this week's episode of Everyday Better, Jeffrey joins Leah to discuss the role of social media in the loneliness epidemic. Jeffrey argues that when used more intentionally, social media can fulfill its original promise: help us stay connected and deepen our connections with the people we care about most.

Many of the stresses in marriage (and in the marriage bed) stem from our own STORIES. Join Shannon and Brad & Kate Aldrich, hosts of the Still Becoming One Podcast, as they unpack making sense of your OWN relationship stories!
“Often when people write or make movies about romances with young adults, I think they are very flippant about it and don't take it seriously. But I think that those friendships and romantic relationships are some of the most important ones because they really set the stage for the rest of our lives. If your first relationship is incredibly toxic and damaging, it can take you years to figure out that that's not normal, and that that's not actually how relationships are meant to be.”Meaghan Oppenheimer is a screenwriter, executive producer, and showrunner who tells stories driven by flawed, deeply human characters and the relationships between them. She's behind Hulu's drama series Tell Me Lies, starring Grace Van Patten and Jackson White and adapted from Carola Lovering's novel of the same name. Her earlier projects include the 2015 film We Are Your Friends, starring Zac Efron as a passionate young DJ, and the 2018 drama series Queen America, set in Oppenheimer's hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma and starring Catherine Zeta-Jones. Season 2 of Tell Me Lies will premiere September 4th on Hulu. Oppenheimer is also currently developing the upcoming Hulu show Second Wife, to star Tom Ellis and Emma Roberts.www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

"I do think that there is a really significant sentiment among parts of the opposition that it's not really just that this bill itself is that bad or extreme — when you really drill into it, it feels like one of those things where you read it and it's like, 'This is the thing that everyone is screaming about?' I think it's a pretty modest bill in a lot of ways, but I think part of what they are thinking is that this is the first step to shutting down AI development. Or that if California does this, then lots of other states are going to do it, and we need to really slam the door shut on model-level regulation or else they're just going to keep going. "I think that is like a lot of what the sentiment here is: it's less about, in some ways, the details of this specific bill, and more about the sense that they want this to stop here, and they're worried that if they give an inch that there will continue to be other things in the future. And I don't think that is going to be tolerable to the public in the long run. I think it's a bad choice, but I think that is the calculus that they are making." —Nathan CalvinIn today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez speaks to Nathan Calvin — senior policy counsel at the Center for AI Safety Action Fund — about the new AI safety bill in California, SB 1047, which he's helped shape as it's moved through the state legislature.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.They cover:What's actually in SB 1047, and which AI models it would apply to.The most common objections to the bill — including how it could affect competition, startups, open source models, and US national security — and which of these objections Nathan thinks hold water.What Nathan sees as the biggest misunderstandings about the bill that get in the way of good public discourse about it.Why some AI companies are opposed to SB 1047, despite claiming that they want the industry to be regulated.How the bill is different from Biden's executive order on AI and voluntary commitments made by AI companies.Why California is taking state-level action rather than waiting for federal regulation.How state-level regulations can be hugely impactful at national and global scales, and how listeners could get involved in state-level work to make a real difference on lots of pressing problems.And plenty more.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Luisa's intro (00:00:57)The interview begins (00:02:30)What risks from AI does SB 1047 try to address?
