Lieutenant Colonel retired C. Scott “Sonny” Duncan joins me for one of the more thought-provoking conversations I have hosted on Moments in Leadership. Sonny's path is anything but typical. He enlisted in the Navy, earned an ROTC scholarship, commissioned as a Naval Officer, transitioned into the Marine Corps, became an F/A 18 pilot, graduated from Top Gun, instructed at NAWDC, and was slated to command an F35 squadron before the COVID mandate brought his career to a crossroads.We cover how he learned to lead through fear, how aviation culture built his approach to performance and accountability, why he and his wife made a values based decision during the mandate, and how he now serves at the senior executive level inside the Department of the Navy. There are hard moments in this episode, and there are leadership lessons that apply across every community.As always, thank you to the supporters on Supercast who help keep Moments in Leadership ad free and sustainable.GUEST BIO LINKSSES Bio, C.

Mistress Vania Changes Jobs: Ep. 20 The Rewilding of Roger Sky. Despite being dark Riko placed the dense black cloth bag over Roger's head. It hung loose at his neck to allow him to breathe. Roger was led up the stairs of the cellar and out of the house. There he was loaded into the rear seat of the Volkswagen estate. Shaped like a station wagon it had had lots of room, but Roger did not need it. He had been transformed.   "I am so ready for this," said Roger, through his bag. They were going on a journey. Riko drove while Mistress Vania was a passenger in the front seat. They drove at a sedate speed that was consistent with sedate personality of their car. The suburban streets changed to fields and country roads, which later became a road in small wood. The car pulled off the road and drove some way down a rough track until it was too narrow for the car to go any further. Roger head the driver's door open. Then he heard his own door open. The cold night air breezed blew in across his knees. "Get out," ordered Riko's distinctive voice. "Leave the bag on your head. I'll guide you."

Where does your field jacket actually come from? Were WWII soldiers the original hypebeasts? What is the M-43 jacket? Sol and Michael sit down with Avery Trufelman, host of Articles of Interest and 99% Invisible veteran, to break down the military origins of menswear and why everyone's suddenly obsessed with gorpcore. The trio dive deep into the history of the M-65 field jacket, how World War II military surplus shaped American fashion, the invention of layering (yes, someone had to invent it), why Special Forces operators became fashion influencers, and the complicated ethics of wearing military aesthetics as civilians. Further, Avery shares insights from her latest podcast season "Gear," explaining the connection between outdoor brands and military contracts, the decline of army surplus stores, why The Row is making combat boots now, and how Buck Mason's militaria collection tells the story of American style. They also discuss Vivienne Westwood's punk legacy, the upcoming Antwerp Six book, athleisure as health signifier, Rick Owens' influence on tactical fashion, women's gear and the "pink it and shrink it" problem, plus whether military fashion makes you complicit in something larger. Other topics include: the Parsons jacket and Supreme-style military drops, George Doria inventing venture capital AND the field jacket, challenge coins and PowerPoint patch design, Americana Pipe Dream's hunt for rare surplus, Cher and the Armenian diaspora (a future episode?), and why fashion never really goes away — it just cycles back.Want to support the podcast?

In this episode of Proud Stutter, Maya talks with tech entrepreneur Kanav Hasija about growing up with a severe stutter in India, being bullied in school, and how changing cities gave him the chance to redefine himself. Kanav shares how facing fear head on through quizzes, speeches, and leadership roles helped shift his relationship with speaking, and how stuttering later shaped the way he communicates as a founder. He walks through his journey from early engineering experiments to building healthcare and construction tech companies, and reflects on how stuttering pushed him to be more precise, patient, and resilient. The conversation also digs into how bullying can make you guarded while also fueling ambition, and how people who stutter often move between structure and creativity. Kanav closes by sharing his current project, a free, game based app designed to help kids who stutter through early intervention, better diagnostics, and accessible technology.-----Big thanks to Proud Stutter's recurring supporters: Jennifer Bolen, Jerry Slaff, Josh Compton, Pablo Meza, Alexandra Mosby, Ingo Helbig, Jonathan Reiss, Jason Smith, Paige McGill, Wayne Engebretson, Swathy Manavalan, and Martha Horrocks.If you can become a monthly donor at $10 or more, we'll give you access to ad-free episodes and bonus Proud Stutter+ content as a token of our thanks!

This week, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own evolution through one of my favorite portals: reading. In this end-of-year solo episode, I walk you through all 26 books I read in 2025. These are the ones that cracked me open, challenged my assumptions, expanded my worldview, and quietly shaped the way I've shown up on the podcast, in my work, and in my life this year. Rather than sharing a quick top-five list, I take you on the full chronological journey, because the order matters. When you hear these books in the sequence I read them, you'll notice the threads of curiosity, deconstruction, healing, and spiritual expansion that guided me month by month.From faith and deconstruction, to ancestral wisdom, to the divine feminine, to creativity, to the witch wound, to energy work, to nature, to body literacy, these books formed a kind of breadcrumb trail for me — each one helping me ask bigger questions, soften old assumptions, and step deeper into the Wild & Waking journey we've been walking together. Some I devoured. Some I wrestled with. A few I didn't finish. And all of them, in one way or another, became teachers in my own unraveling, remembering, reclamation, and rise.Whether you want to expand your 2026 reading list, reflect on your own year of inner growth, or simply follow along with the journey behind the journey, this episode is a deep, thoughtful companion. And if any book sparks something for you, trust that. Pick it up, explore it, and see where it leads. The books that call to us often arrive right on time.The full list, with links, photos, descriptions, and author podcast episodes, is available HERE so you can revisit any title or conversation that catches your attention.In this episode, I explore:A full breakdown of all 26 books I read in 2025 and how each one shaped my personal growth, spiritual awakening, and inner transformationThe reading themes that defined my year: deconstruction, spiritual healing, feminine power, ancestral wisdom, and embodied self-trustHow books on Christian nationalism, faith deconstruction, and religious trauma supported my journey into a more authentic, expansive spiritualityTitles that introduced me to ancestral healing, Indigenous wisdom, earth-based spirituality, and reconnecting with the cycles of natureBooks exploring the divine feminine, goddess history, the witch wound, and women's empowerment across history and mythologyMy honest reviews of astrology books, lunar cycle guides, moon-phase practices, and beginner resources on energy healing, Reiki, chakras, and aurasParenting and nervous system resources that helped me understand emotional regulation, generational patterns, and conscious parentingNature-focused books on ecological consciousness, reciprocity, forest science, and our spiritual connection to the landCreativity and artistry titles that supported my writing process, mindset, and the shift from consumption to creationThe books I didn't finish, why I stepped away, and how I decide what's aligned for my seasonMy top five book recommendations of 2025 and who they're ideal for (faith deconstruction, divine feminine, ancestral wisdom, midlife reinvention, spiritual identity work)How my 2025 reading list influenced the Wild & Waking podcast, The Coven, my coaching, and the wider conversations we shared this yearAn invitation to reflect on your own 2025 reading journey, personal evolution, and the topics you want to explore in 2026Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram:

In this special live Unpacking Israeli History, Noam Weissman sits down with Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and Israeli intelligence expert Ronen Bergman (author of Rise and Kill First) for a smart, funny, and deeply human look at the Mossad, Shin Bet, and Israel's security establishment. Recorded in front of a packed audience at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, Bergman explains how he persuaded hundreds of operatives to open up, why secrecy and ego can be dangerous, and why he believes Israel's real “secret weapon” is democracy and accountability. Then, the discussion turns to the hardest question of all—how October 7 happened—through the lens of misread signals, misallocated attention, and hubris. It's a conversation that's messy, meaningful, and genuinely accessible. Ronen Bermgan writes for the New York Times and Yedioth Ahronoth.

What happens when convenience becomes the cost? We close the year by unpacking the eight tech stories that reshaped daily life, wallets, and trust. From streaming's pivot back to bundles that feel like cable, to smart speakers and connected appliances that quietly ship household data to the cloud, we trace how “modern” increasingly means managed—and often monitored.We dig into the robotics hype cycle and ask why humanoids still struggle with balance and dexterity while specialized bots make real progress. We revisit the year's biggest cloud outages and map the true downstream impact on classrooms, small businesses, and critical services. Then we turn to the road: cars and EVs are now rolling data platforms, collecting location histories, driving behaviors, and infotainment usage that can flow to insurers and third parties. The question isn't whether your vehicle knows you—it's who else does, and for how long.Surveillance didn't expand with sirens; it seeped in through doorbells, license plate readers, and citywide cameras, often in partnership with law enforcement. We challenge the idea that this is inevitable and debate where safety ends and overreach begins. Finally, we tackle AI's identity crisis: voice cloning, realistic generation, fragile safeguards, and the policy vacuum that leaves creators, consumers, and companies guessing. Can we set guardrails without strangling innovation? We argue for practical steps—licensing high-risk systems, watermarking synthetic media, meaningful transparency, and liability when promised safety fails—while keeping room for creativity and progress.Along the way, we keep it human: tradeoffs you can control now, policies worth pushing for, and a rye whiskey tasting to toast lessons learned. If you care about privacy, reliability, AI ethics, or just want streaming to stop nickel-and-diming you, this conversation brings clarity without the jargon. If it resonates, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and drop your take: what tech boundary should we draw first?

Instead of reacting to weekly market noise, this episode offers a thoughtful top-10 look at the forces influencing markets, households, and financial planning — and what they may signal for the year ahead.From the rise of artificial intelligence and shifting government policy to persistent affordability challenges and changing investment landscapes, Melissa breaks down complex topics with clarity and context. She explores how these trends showed up in real life for investors, savers, borrowers, and families — and why discipline and planning mattered more than prediction this year.Throughout the conversation, Melissa connects the dots between policy, markets, and personal finance, reminding listeners that while we can't control outcomes, we can control preparation.Highlights include:Why artificial intelligence became the dominant market and cultural story — and what it means for jobs, productivity, and energy demandHow tariffs evolved throughout the year and the real economic costs for consumers, businesses, and farmersKey changes in the new tax law and why tax planning is becoming more complex, not lessThe ripple effects of the prolonged government shutdown on workers, small businesses, and economic dataWhy interest rates didn't fall as much as expected — and how that impacted borrowers and savers differentlyPersistent affordability concerns and the growing divide between householdsThe growing influence of private equity and private debt across the economyWhy markets delivered strong returns despite overwhelming negative headlinesHow higher education and student loans are undergoing structural changeThe broader financial implications of GLP-1 drugs and rising healthcare costsAs we head into 2026, this episode offers a grounded perspective on what really mattered in 2025 — and why staying focused on what you can control remains one of the most powerful financial strategies available.The previous presentation by PEARL PLANNING was intended for general information purposes only.

When you walk into the Mayflower Hotel, it feels like a film set, the ideal visual representation of what a hotel should be. It is one of the most important venues in the shaping of America, hotel or otherwise. The conversations, the deals, the A-list encounters, the scandals that shook politics. It was a place that knew how to keep a secret. Until it didn't.It survived depressions, wars, setbacks, inaugurations, ownership changes, and J. Edgar Hoover. This year marks its centennial, and we talk with one of its former employees to see inside "Washington's Second Best Address."

As the curtain closes on 2025, the marketing and advertising landscape looks fundamentally different from what it did 12 months ago. It was a year where “impossible” comebacks became reality — led by the butter-soaked resurgence of Red Lobster — and where the “creative agency of record” model was tested by bold new partnerships such as JCPenney and Mischief.In this special year-end wrap-up, the Campaign US editorial team dives deep into the stories that moved the needle. From the legal battles over AI in Hollywood to the investigative ripples caused by the Cannes awards fallout, we examine the moments that sparked debate in the C-suite and the Slack channels alike.

America's shortest presidency produced one of its most overlooked First Ladies. Anna Harrison didn't even make it to the White House before William Henry Harrison skipped wearing a coat to his inauguration, caught a cold, and died from pneumonia just 31 days later. Shaped by revolution and a New York education, Anna defied expectations, from eloping against her father's wishes to running school on the Ohio frontier. Her story is a reminder that history is often shaped by the women it overlooks.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   Loose leash walking starts without a leash. I would like you to think for a moment about what kind of an emotional experience it is to take your dog for a leashed walk. For some people there is lunging, jumping, spinning, barking, or zig-zagging. Different behaviors, same outcome. What is meant to be exercise, connection, and calm ends up feeling frustrating instead. In this episode, I'm sharing why leash walking fails so often and why it's not because you or your dog have done something wrong. Leash walking breaks down when expectations severely outpace education, and once you understand where that breakdown happens, you'll never approach walking your dog on a leash the same way again.    In this episode, you'll hear:   • What leash walking feels like for both ends of the leash. • The difference between what we expect from our dogs and what they've actually been taught. • Why leash walking is one of the most unnatural behaviors we ask dogs to perform. • How teaching leash walking in reverse sets dogs up to fail. • Why behavior does not grow in isolation. • The role the 5C Pyramid plays in building real-world understanding. • Why distraction is rarely the real issue on leash. • What changes when education catches up to expectations. • How seeing where leash walking breaks down changes everything.   Join J-Walking: Write to us at wag@dogsthat.com with the subject line "Connected Walking" for a very special opportunity to join us in J-Walking.   Resources:   1.

In this honest and reflective episode, Alisa sits down with fan-favorite Ashlee Stohler to unpack the complicated legacy of The Biggest Loser – the reality TV phenomenon that dominated the 2000s and promised life-changing transformations through extreme weight loss. Once celebrated as an inspiration, the show is now widely criticized for its harmful methods and long-term consequences. Alisa and Ashlee dive deep into how it amplified the toxic diet culture of the era, and why its messages still linger today. Key Topics Discussed: The dark reality behind the dramatic transformations: extreme calorie restriction, grueling workouts, and public weigh-ins that often led to metabolic damage, slowed metabolisms, and near-inevitable weight regain. The underlying message that bodies are a problem to be "fixed" – and how that fueled shame, punishment mentality, and the idea that thinness equals worth. How the show reinforced the illusion of quick, permanent change – and why sustainable health looks nothing like a marathon of deprivation. Reflections on healing: Moving beyond the "biggest loser" era. This conversation is equal parts nostalgia, critique, and hope – a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt the weight of diet culture or chased an unrealistic transformation.
