Podcasts about Shriver

This week Ann is the special guest on her own podcast all the way from Ireland. She's just been to the Dalkey Book Festival outside Dublin, where Ireland's elites gather to talk the nonsense that only educated elites can talk about.She was there with the writer Lionel Shriver. Shriver has a brand-new book out on immigration and wasn't pulling any punches. She told the Irish straight-out, what they have to do if they want to save their country from making the same mistakes that have destroyed so many other countries.Were they grateful for her advice? No Ann said she might have to step in as a part-time bodyguard. Listen to find out what makes Ireland's elites, particularly the women, really angry. And Trans madness dying and you'll never guess who's leading the charge. Then there's the surprising effect the World Cup is having on Europeans — they're suddenly realising America really is the greatest country in the world. We bring you the scoop and ask: Is it good news that Americans care what Europeans think about them? And finally: How did the New York Times mark Father's Day? With a nice cartoon celebrating fathers? Don't be silly. It's all about the trans agenda, of course.If you've enjoyed our podcast we would appreciate it if you shared it with anyone who still thinks the mainstream media version of news lacks the full picture.*****************************************************To Donate: https://secure.anedot.com/unreported-story-society/main_donate_2026Projects You Need to Check Out: https://unreportedstorysociety.com/our-projects/To read Substack:https://substack.com/@phelimmcaleer/note/p-202442275?r=58t52b&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action Ann & Phelim SocialsPhelim's X: (https://x.com/PhelimMcAleer)Ann's X: (https://x.com/annmcelhinney)USS SocialsInsta: (https://www.instagram.com/unreportedstorysociety/)Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/TheAPScoop/)X: (https://x.com/AP_Unreported)*****************************************************

Tim Shriver has spent a lifetime learning to see the people the rest of us are socialized to look past. The chairman of Special Olympics, co-creator of the Dignity Index, and son of Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Sargent Shriver, he argues that what's tearing America apart isn't how much we differ, but how we treat one another when we do. "We're not being torn apart by difference. We're being torn apart by the way we treat each other when we differ." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Shriver reflects on the teachers who shaped him—students and athletes who taught him a different way of seeing. They discuss the Dignity Index, contempt, toxic empathy that gives way to excusing harm, the role of "self-purification" in Martin Luther King Jr.'s non-violent campaigns, his Catholic faith, and the embracing the Eucharist as self-giving love. Episode Highlights "We're not being torn apart by difference. We're being torn apart by the way we treat each other when we differ." "Empathy is knowing and understanding. Dignity is valuing and seeing." "You will have a superpower if you fight for your principles with all the passion you've got and add one principle: treat the other human being with dignity at the same time." "They're not crying because they're sad for the athlete. They're crying because something is coming out of them." "Concretely, you may hold, you may touch, you may drink of the face of God." About Tim Shriver Timothy Shriver has chaired Special Olympics International since 1996, growing the movement to over four million athletes worldwide. The third child of Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Sargent Shriver, he taught for years in New Haven public schools and helped launch the field of social and emotional learning, co-founding and chairing CASEL. In 2018 he founded UNITE to bridge America's political divides and co-created the Dignity Index, an eight-point scale from contempt to respect. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir Fully Alive: Discovering What Matters Most, and holds degrees from Yale and Catholic University and a doctorate from the University of Connecticut.

Patrick McEnroe catches up with friend and Hall of Famer Pam Shriver from Rome, where she's coaching as part of Yonex's Mindset and Performance Program. In a wide ranging chat, Shriver reflects on her meteoric rise from a 16-year-old US Open finalist to one of the greatest doubles players in history. She dives into her new "startup" coaching role with Yonex, emphasizing the critical importance of a growth mindset in today's power-driven game. From navigating the locker room of the Original 9 era to her recent advocacy for player safeguarding, Shriver shares candid insights on how tennis has evolved. Plus, don't miss a spirited "rapid fire" round covering her toughest rivals and favorite tennis cities. Pam Shriver is a 21-time major champion, former world No. 1 in doubles, No. 3 in singles and Olympic gold medalist. Alongside fellow Hall of Famer Martina Navratilova, the duo are the only women's doubles team in history to complete the calendar Grand Slam (1984). She continues to lend her voice and deep tennis insight as a broadcast commentator and coach.

Shriver calls and said he would hire Yadi Molina as the Pirates manager. One caller is mad about Henry Davis. How long can you go with poor hitting from Henry Davis with great catching? We hear from Pittsburgh fans.

Shriver also breaks down several rising talents including Arthur Fils and Rafael Jodar, and explains why American Ben Shelton is built for the long-haul with his father Bryan guiding his career. Shriver also shares her thoughts on the WTA, and the ultra consistency of World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. The commentator discusses Elena Rybakina's all-time great serve, Iga Swiatek's attempt to reset her clay court game, and Naomi Osaka's resurgence. And Shriver explains why becoming a volunteer college coach has been extremely fulfilling, as has her work for Yonex in their new "Mindset Performance Program." Hosted by Mitch Michals.

March 2026 marks the 65th anniversary of the start of the Peace Corps and in this latest edition of WUKY's Saving Stories, Doug Boyd with the Nunn Center for Oral History in the UK Libraries shares audio from an interview with Sargent Shriver, the diplomat tabbed by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 to lead the independent government agency that sends American volunteers to partner countries for two-year terms to work on grassroots projects in education, health, agriculture, and other sectors. Shriver told the interviewer why he thought they only had one chance to make it work.

Michael Shermer sits down with novelist and essayist Lionel Shriver for a wide-ranging conversation about what happens when old political labels stop making sense. Shriver reflects on the strange moral and political confusions that now shape debates over immigration, identity, religion, and the meaning of tolerance.  They discuss why immigration has become, in Shriver's view, the central political issue of this century; why support for illiberal ideas is often framed as compassion; why the culture of fiction and publishing has grown more timid; and how writers can still engage seriously with divisive subjects without surrendering either honesty or nuance. The conversation also turns personal: Shriver's religious upbringing, her own personal experiences with immigration, and reflections on the diminishing cultural authority of the novelist. Lionel Shriver is an author and journalist, a graduate of Columbia University, and a columnist for The Spectator. Her fiction confronts some of the defining issues of modern life: school shootings in We Need to Talk About Kevin, the cost of healthcare in So Much for That, economic instability in The Mandibles, aging and suicide in Should We Stay or Should We Go, and low intelligence and DEI in Mania. Her latest novel, A Better Life, takes up immigration from the perspective of the host.

Hello from Team Simon! We're taking a short hiatus, but A Bit of Optimism will return with brand-new episodes March 24th. In the meantime, we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes. Episodes that many of you who listened, shared them, and told us what resonated. This week, we're bringing back Simon's conversation with journalist, author, and longtime friend Maria Shriver. Maria Shriver was born into the legendary Kennedy and Shriver families, arriving with a script already written for her—an identity shaped by legacy and expectation. From the start, the world had ideas about who she should be. But after decades as a journalist, years as California's First Lady, and raising four amazing kids, Maria has been on a lifelong journey to peel back the layers and ask Who am I now?—and answer it for herself. Maria also happens to be Simon's best friend. They talked about how they became each other's “8-minute friends,” the quiet questions that shape us, and Maria's beautiful new book of poetry—which she reads from in this episode. It's all about identity, self-reflection, and finding your voice in a world that keeps trying to define it for you. If you've ever wondered who you are beyond what you do or how to rediscover yourself after life changes, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that identity is something we can reclaim again and again. This… is A Bit of Optimism. --------------------------- For more on Maria Shriver, check out: her book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/i-am-mar... ---------------------------

I want to see you in New York for Dissident Dialogues! Get your tickets HERE : https://dissidentdialogues.org/In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with novelist and cultural critic Lionel Shriver for a wide-ranging conversation on immigration, national identity, childlessness, and the psychological roots of progressive politics.We begin with the backlash to Sir Jim Ratcliffe's claim that Britain has been “colonised,” and explore why immigration has become the most morally charged issue in Western politics. Shriver argues that debates over borders, demographic change, and the so-called “great replacement” divide societies into irreconcilable camps, and that mass migration touches deep anthropological instincts that elites refuse to acknowledge.The discussion moves beyond economics into culture and psychology, examining performative guilt, self-righteousness, and what Shriver calls the narcissism at the heart of modern progressive ideology. We explore why national identity has been hollowed out, why anti-border politics often coexists with hyper-individualism, and how the collapse of religious faith has left a moral vacuum filled by activism.We also debate falling birth rates, the status of motherhood, childlessness, and whether Western societies can survive demographic decline without either restoring cultural confidence or radically transforming themselves. Shriver argues that a civilisation unwilling to reproduce itself cannot expect to endure.A provocative and deeply philosophical conversation about immigration, identity, family, and whether the West still believes in itself.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE:: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 – Introduction02:17 Has Britain Been “Colonised”?05:38 The Great Replacement: Theory or Demographic Fact?08:15 Why Immigration Became a Moral Absolute11:29 White Guilt, Vanity & Progressive Psychology14:35 The Nation State vs Borderless Ideology18:06 Self-Obsession & the Progressive Mindset23:31 The White Saviour Complex Explained26:39 Do the Left Even Believe in Countries?31:35 From Liberal to Conservative: Shriver's Turning Point35:49 Women, Motherhood & the Politics of Immigration41:08 Childlessness, Status & Cultural Decline49:01 Radical Individualism & the Loss of Norms57:40 If We Don't Have Children, We'll Be Replaced1:12:38 Immigration Rage, Identity & What People Really Feel Hosted on Acast.

In this powerful conversation, Jenilee Samuel sits down with Heather Shriver Burns — master coach, spiritual director, and host of the Seek First CEO podcast — to explore the real reasons many believers struggle to hear God clearly.Heather shares her personal journey from a checklist faith and high-achievement mindset to a deep, intimate, two-way relationship with God. Through loss, busyness, trauma, and relational experiences, she discovered that silence from God often isn't God being distant — it reflects what's crowded our inner world.Together Jenilee and Heather unpack:1. Why God can feel silent even when He's speakingHeather shares how her faith was more obligation than intimacy before a season of loss — and how that shifted her ability to hear God.2. How trauma and nervous system stress can block spiritual hearingBusyness, unresolved hurts, and fight-or-flight states create inner noise that makes hearing God harder than it should be.3. The power of human connection in spiritual claritySome of the clearest messages from God come through people — especially when our own connection feels muted.4. How everyday moments become God-encountersHeather and Jenilee talk about learning to notice God in mundane life — not just in quiet time or special moments.5. The importance of honest communication with GodLetting go of performance, including honesty about fear, loss, and confusion, opens up the way God actually speaks.6. Why community and relationships matter in spiritual growthWe're not meant to grow in isolation — our connections with others test, refine, and expand our ability to hear God's voice.

The Hall of Famer Pam Shriver joins the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the pro tennis world, and why the women's game in particular is in such great shape going forward.

What if the game of Whac-A-Mole perfectly described your leadership challenges? Ric Shriver and Jeff Fierstein think it does. These two veteran consultants have spent over four decades tackling recurring, high-stakes issues inside organizations—and they've captured those lessons in their book "Leadership Whac-A-Mole: Actionable Strategies to Leadership Challenges". Today's episode, Ric and Jeff join Peter to explore how they've turned decades of shared experience into a practical, real-world guide for leaders. They break down the leadership issues that keep popping up across industries—and how to stop reacting and start leading with intent. You'll hear how they co-authored the book using a creative “client and consultant” back-and-forth format, bringing both the problem and the solution to life. They explain why holistic thinking and real-world examples matter more than trendy buzzwords, and how their book is designed as a field manual—not theory—for leaders at all levels. Ric and Jeff also speak candidly about what it's like to move from writing to marketing—especially when you're more comfortable solving problems than promoting your own work. Their insights are honest, valuable, and relevant for any thought leader looking to get their ideas into the hands of decision-makers. If you've ever felt like you're playing Whac-A-Mole in your business, this episode offers the clarity—and calm—you need. Three Key Takeaways: • Leadership Challenges Are Recurring—But Solvable Many leaders face the same issues over and over, much like a game of Whac-A-Mole. Ric and Jeff highlight that these aren't random events—they're symptoms of deeper systemic issues. Their book offers a practical, experience-based approach to diagnosing and solving those patterns. • Thought Leadership Can Be Built from Shared Experience Rather than theory or research alone, their content comes from decades of real-world consulting work. By using a client-consultant format, they deliver insight from both sides of the leadership equation, making their ideas accessible and actionable for readers. • Marketing a Book Requires a Mindset Shift Writing the book was only half the battle. Ric and Jeff learned that promoting thought leadership requires stepping into new roles—connecting with networks, refining their message, and overcoming the reluctance to "sell." Believing deeply in their content helped them get comfortable with promotion. If you enjoyed our conversation with Ric Shriver and Jeff Fierstein on turning decades of consulting experience into practical thought leadership, you won't want to miss this episode: Advice for Marketing, Messaging, and Publishing Books with Aurora Winter. Just like Ric and Jeff, the Aurora dove into the real-world challenges authors and thought leaders face—not just in writing the book, but in getting it into the right hands. You'll hear candid advice on crafting compelling messaging, navigating the business side of publishing, and building visibility through smart marketing. Both episodes highlight a critical truth: writing a great book is just the beginning. Whether you're an author, consultant, or executive with ideas to share, this conversation will help you move from manuscript to market with clarity and confidence.

Since taking office, the Trump administration has made it a top priority to dismantle what it perceives as federal bureaucratic bloat. But it's the belief of some that those cuts to the federal workforce and federal programs have gone too far, damaging the government's capacity to meet its mission and serve the American public. Rob Shriver, former acting OPM director during the Biden administration, is one of those. And in his new role as Managing Director of Democracy Forward's Civil Service Strong initiative, he's helping launch a new Civil Service Defense and Innovation Fellowship Program that aims to rebuild that lost capacity by calling on former government officials to “produce research and analysis documenting the scope and consequences of cuts to federal agencies, and develop and incubate innovative work to inform future policymaking and to rebuild government capacity.” Shriver joins the podcast to discuss the state of the federal workforce, the new fellowship and what he sees ahead. Let's go now to that interview. The Department of Defense's No. 2 IT official for the past two years is leaving the role, the department announced Monday. Leslie Beavers, who also served as acting DOD CIO for a period at the end of the Biden administration and during the early days of the second Trump administration, will step down as DOD principal deputy CIO at the end of September. In a social media post, the DOD Office of the CIO congratulated Beavers who announced Monday that she will be stepping down from her position at the end of September after more than 30 years of uniformed and civilian service. Beavers played a key role in the Office of the CIO's delivery of its Fulcrum IT strategy in 2024 with then-CIO John Sherman. When Sherman stepped down from the CIO role at the end of June 2024, Beavers filled it temporarily until Katie Arrington was appointed to perform the duties of CIO in March. Since then, Beavers retained her deputy role, supporting new efforts under Arrington's leadership like the Software Fast Track initiative and “blowing up” the Risk Management Framework. It's unclear what Beavers' next role will be after her departure or who will take her place when she officially leaves. President Donald Trump has tapped State Department leader Michael Rigas to serve as the General Services Administration's new acting chief, the agency announced Monday. It marks the third GSA appointment for Rigas, who has spent the past few months at the State Department as the deputy secretary for management and resources, according to a statement from Marianne Copenhaver, associate administrator for the GSA. Copenhaver wrote in a statement to FedScoop: “We're thrilled to have his institutional knowledge, leadership, and decades of experience in the private and public sector. Under Mike's leadership, GSA will continue to deliver effective and efficient government services in real estate, acquisition, and technology.” Stephen Ehikian, who has served since January as GSA's acting administrator, will continue his role as deputy administrator, Copenhaver added. Ehikian is a former Salesforce vice president and self-proclaimed “serial entrepreneur.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Now, 7 books later, he's back again, but has been through hell to get to this moment. About Jeff Brown's new book, “In Trudeau's Kitchen”, he writes:'When Sophie Grégoire Trudeau—then wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—shared a quote from one of Jeff Brown's books on Facebook in 2017, he felt compelled to reach out and volunteer to support her mission. As his fingers hovered over the keyboard, a quiet voice rose within: Don't step into the political world. He ignored the voice, and clicked SEND. The Whistle-Blower's journey had unknowingly begun. Life, as he knew it, would never be the same." In this King Hero interview, we will be discussing his first-hand awakening to the evils of the political arena here in Canada, and how dark it can get for whistleblowers.And because I'm currently focussed on the topic and Jeff's past profession as a psychoanalyst, we will also be talking about mental health and the 100's of dangerous medications that are rampantly prescribed to people who are suffering. Check out my stream with Justine Lalonde from this week on the topic as well!https://kingheros.bethmartens.com/blog/107527-justine-lalonde-the-hidden-dangers-of-psychiatric-medsJeff's Bio:A former criminal lawyer and psychotherapist, Jeff Brown is the author of 7 popular books: Soulshaping, Ascending with Both Feet on the Ground, Love It Forward, An Uncommon Bond, Spiritual Graffiti, Grounded Spirituality, Hearticulations. And, 2 shadow banned books: Humanifestations, and Where is God in all of this? He is also the producer and central subject in the award-winning spiritual documentary, ‘Karmageddon,' which also features Ram Dass, Seane Corn, Deva Premal and Miten. Jeff has authored a series of inspirations for ABC'S ‘Good Morning America,' has been featured on http://FoxNews.com and dozens of radio shows, and has contributed to The Washington Post, Elephant Journal, Spirit of Maat, Positively Positive, The Good Men Project, Unity Magazine, Rebelle Society, and Maria http://Shriver.com. In 2010, he wrote a blog ‘Apologies to the Divine Feminine (from a warrior in transition),' which quickly went viral and continues to be widely shared today. In a world saturated with spiritual teachers and self-help gurus, Jeff brings a refreshingly honest and human approach to what he calls ‘grounded spirituality.' His dictionary of new terms and short impactful writings became a phenomenon some years ago, and continue to be shared by seekers and growers worldwide. His quotes have been shared in social media by Alanis Morrissette, Fergie, Jason Silva, LeAnn Rimes, Chrissy Metz, and many other well-known figures. Most beautifully, they have touched and benefited millions of souls. This gratifies him deeply. Jeff is also the founder of Soulshaping Institute and Enrealment Press. He lives in Canada. His next book, In Trudeau's Kitchen, will be available shortly.Twitter: @JeffBrownEnrealSubstack: https://jeffbrown42.substack.com Fakebook: https://www.facebook.com/SOULSHAPING/ Get his new book: https://trineday.com/products/in-trudeau-s-kitchen-my-unexpected-journey-with-sophie-trudeau-power-and-the-politics-of-intuition  *** MORE FROM BETHFor more from Beth, her books, her social media links, Telegram Groups, and to apply to become a member of the House of Free Will Ministry visit: https://linktr.ee/bethmartens Sign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizhttps://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-up Sign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype Reading:https://www.bethmartens.com/heros_journey_archetype_reading Being free is not a spectator sport - Hal Anthony, “Behind the Woodshed”

Faith and Neuroscience: A Holistic Approach to Living with Intention Faith and neuroscience together form a robust framework for navigating life's challenges with clarity and purpose. In a world obsessed with speed and constant motion, we often race through life without noticing what's really happening inside ourselves. But lasting growth doesn't come through hustle—it begins when we slow down, become aware, and invite God into the process. Through honest reflection and emotional awareness, we create space for real, Kingdom-aligned transformation. Where Faith and Neuroscience Meet Faith and neuroscience don't compete—they complement each other. Neuroscience reveals how the brain functions, while faith offers a spiritual framework for renewal. Science reveals the process; Scripture defines the purpose. Together, they remind us that God designed us with intention, both biologically and spiritually. When we understand our thought patterns, emotions, and habits, we can align them more closely with God's truth. As Scripture says, “You are known by your fruit.” This level of awareness helps us evaluate not just our actions but the outcomes they produce—peace or burnout, connection or isolation, growth or stagnation. The Power of Pause: Slowing Down to See Clearly Speed often blocks transformation. We rush from one task to the next and drift off course without even realizing it. When we don't slow down, we miss the opportunity to check in with ourselves and with God. But pausing isn't a weakness—it's wisdom. Stillness creates the space for clarity, and clarity opens the door to lasting change. The “S” in the STEM model (which explores the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors) stands for “Seen”—what others and we ourselves can observe. But what's visible only scratches the surface. True growth requires digging deeper—examining our motivations, fears, and deeply held beliefs. Awareness is the First Step to Change Healing starts with honesty. We can't change what we refuse to acknowledge. That's why honesty is kindness—even when it feels uncomfortable. Naming what's real—your stress, frustration, sadness, or confusion—opens the door to healing and wholeness. About Heather Shriver Burns Heather is a former classroom teacher, turned corporate executive, and now entrepreneur. After building multiple 6-, 7-, and 8-figure businesses, she realized something was missing—she was successful by the world's standards, but she was stressed out. She knew God didn't give her an assignment to stress her out. So she redefined success with God and has been building her business with peace and purpose. Now, she helps ambitious Christian women stop striving for success and start seeking God's guidance to co-labor with Him in every area of life.

We often define ourselves by what we do or who we are to other people. But at our core, who we are is often something much deeper, and sometimes wildly different, from the version that the world sees -- or projects onto you.Maria Shriver was born into the legendary Kennedy and Shriver families, arriving with a script already written for her—an identity shaped by legacy and expectation. From the start, the world had ideas about who she should be. But after decades as a journalist, years as California's First Lady, and raising four amazing kids, Maria has been on a lifelong journey to peel back the layers and ask Who am I now?—and answer it for herself.Maria also happens to be my best friend. We talked about how we became each other's “8-minute friends,” the quiet questions that shape us, and her beautiful new book of poetry—which she reads from in this episode. It's all about identity, self-reflection, and finding your voice in a world that keeps trying to define it for you.This…is A Bit of Optimism.For more on Maria Shriver,  check out:her book, I Am Mariamariashriver.com

With rates of Alzheimer's and dementia rising steeply, especially among women, the conventional pharmaceutical model has largely failed in treating the brain. Functional Medicine takes a different systems-based, personalized approach—focusing on inflammation, metabolic health, and environmental exposures—which offers real hope for prevention and even reversal of cognitive decline. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Heather Sandison, Dr. David Perlmutter, and Maria Shriver, why it is possible to reverse cognitive decline and the cutting-edge science of brain health and Alzheimer's prevention. Dr. Heather Sandison is the The New York Times bestselling author of Reversing Alzheimer's The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health. As a renowned naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine, she's the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego's premier brain optimization clinic, and Marama, a residential program turning memory care into memory recovery. Dr. Sandison has dedicated her career to supporting those suffering with dementia and published her most recent clinical findings in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. She's excited to shatter common misconceptions about Alzheimer's and share what she's learned about keeping your brain sharp at any age. Dr. David Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition. He is the author of Grain Brain and Drop Acid, among others. Dr. Perlmutter received his M.D. degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine where he was awarded the Leonard G. Rowntree Research Award. He serves as a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and has published extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals including Archives of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and The Journal of Applied Nutrition. Shriver is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist, former First Lady of California, founder of the Women's Alzheimer's Movement, and Strategic Advisor on Women's Health and Alzheimer's at Cleveland Clinic. Shriver works to use her voice and platforms to advance some of our nation's most pressing issues affecting women and women's health. In November 2023, Shriver joined the President and the First Lady to announce the first-ever White House Initiative on Women's Health Research, an effort led by Dr. Biden and the White House Gender Policy Council, to galvanize the Federal government and the private and philanthropic sectors to spur innovation, unleash transformative investment to close research gaps, and improve women's health. Shriver's advocacy led to the establishment of this historic initiative, and she continues to advise and collaborate with Dr. Biden. She is also the co-founder of the brain health and wellness brand MOSH and founder of Shriver Media. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

JONATHAN KANTER This episode was recorded on November 18, 2024,  the day when it was reported that Senior antitrust officials at the Justice Department plan to ask a judge to order Google to divest its Chrome web browser, Bloomberg reported citing anonymous sources. The department also intends to ask federal judge Amit Mehta, who declared Google's search engine a monopoly in August, to mandate actions concerning artificial intelligence and the Android mobile operating system. The enforcement actions are the product of the Justice Department's multiyear case against Google which sought to prove that the tech giant has a web search monopoly in the U.S. The Justice Department won its case  federal judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google broke antitrust laws in both online search and search text ads markets. The remedies are yet to be decided and will likely be fought in federal courts. Many parallels exist between this case and  US v Standard Oil in the early 20th century and US v Microsoft in the early 21st century. The remarkable person leading this effort which at its root goes to the heart of free markets, power and competition is Assistant Attorney General of the United States' Department of Justice Antitrust Division. He is deeply thoughtful and his mind is expansive, especially at the intersection of the law, free markets. Prior to this, Kanter worked as an antitrust attorney at the FTC and in private practice. AAG Kanter is considered a critic of “big tech” and DOJ has worked to block  a record number of mergers on antitrust  grounds. During his tenure, the DOJ won its first conviction in a criminal monopolization suit in four decades Jonathan has a very humble beginning in a working class neighborhood of Queens and  graduated from SUNY Albany and Washington University School of Law.  After graduating from law school, Kanter first worked as an antitrust lawyer at the FTC. He later worked in private practice, where he represented clients including Microsoft and Yelp as an  associate at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson. Kanter was later a partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft followed by  Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.  Two other notable cases he has led include an antitrust suit related to JetBlue's attempted acquisition of Spirit, and one against Ticketmaster's parent company Live Nation Entertainment. Upon filing the lawsuit, Kanter stated that "Live music should not be available only to those who can afford to pay the Ticketmaster tax". Much of his work, as was his confirmation by the United States Senate, has broad support across party lines, a rare thing in today's Washington.  RELATED LINKS NYT Article CNBC Segment Wikipedia Bloomberg Article Stanford Graduate School of Business Talk GENERAL INFO| TOP OF THE GAME: Official website: https://topofthegame-thepod.com/ RSS Feed: https://feed.podbean.com/topofthegame-thepod/feed.xml Hosting service show website: https://topofthegame-thepod.podbean.com/ Javier's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/javiersaade  SUPPORT & CONNECT: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/96934564 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551086203755 Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOPOFGAMEpod Subscribe on Podbean: https://www.podbean.com/site/podcatcher/index/blog/vLKLE1SKjf6G Email us: info@topofthegame-thepod.com   THANK YOU FOR LISTENING – AVAILABLE ON ALL MAJOR PLATFORMS

Jennifer is on the road this week, and I thought it might be fun to give a listen to a podcast from four years ago - the day of voting in the last contentious election.  The one that Joe Biden won the day we were speaking, but the results weren't in. Conversation begins with a chat about how the country was in turmoil (the lockdown had begun in March) and Jennifer said that Maverick had shown up. He wanted to talk about the "bittersweet" experience of the election, how despite it going the way he thought it should, how divided the country was. Then Sergeant Shriver showed up - Maria Shriver's dad, who was the brother in law of JFK, who ran the Peace Corps. I recount an oddly prescient dream I had where I met him - and then 20 years later, was in the same room with him (but didn't meet him).  JFK speaks about the election, but also about his passing, because we'd interviewed him earlier, and he had been reluctant to talk about it other than to say that the book BROTHERS by David Talbot was accurate.  Abe Lincoln showed up as well - and for those who are fans of my medium.com account - I have an unusual conversation with Abraham via his Character AI on that page.  I brought that info to the last podcast - I forgot he was on this one until I was listening to it. I did make some edits in it - because of my headset, my voice is particularly annoying in this one - it was hard to mix the sound.  But the content is there. This podcast from four years ago - is applicable to this week in history, as it is to every time in history people had to vote for issues that mattered to the nation. It's a freewheeling discussion - but it was literally four years ago, and pay attention to the fact that we speak about Robert Towne, my old boss, the man who wrote Chinatown, who was still on the planet at this point, and was having active conversations via Jennifer with his dog "Hira" on the flipside. I think these sessions demonstrate how easy it is for us to stay in touch with our loved ones offstage. Of course it helps to have someone like Jennifer who appears to be a live microphone to the flipside. Our Election special REDUX!  This was recorded FOUR YEARS AGO and podcast that day in 11.5.20 when the results of the election were not yet know, but they were known to Jennifer and folks on the flipside.  John McCain comes forward to talk about his "bittersweet" feeling of vindication, but sad to see the nation so divided.  JFK comes to speak as well, to talk about the division of the nation, but also to discuss his death.  His brother in law Sgt Shriver makes an appearance - I knew he had dementia for the last years of his life, and we talk about that. (People report leaving only a smaller percentage of their conscious energy in their body when that happens - the rest is already "back home.") When the topic arises, Jennifer is shown an image of the current candidate, I mention that his father Fred had the affliction. (And for the record we interview both FRED TRUMP and BEAU BIDEN in a podcast some time after this (search for it on the podcast). It's unusual because Jennifer didn't know who "Fred" or "Bo" was - but she answered questions about their family and the role their controversial family members on the planet are supposed to play. In some cases, people play the adversarial role to teach lessons in unconditional love - because it forces people to confront those issues head on.  We may have a podcast this week - although Jennifer is on the road - but in case we don't, this is a reminder of what is at stake. Abraham Lincoln makes an appearance as well.. I know this sounds mind bending, but after doing this with Jennifer for ten years, I know how accurate she can be. She works with members of law enforcement nationwide daily - pro bono.  She's very good at what she does. I just felt this was unusual look into the election of four years ago, and how it's the same kind of thing now... there's much at stake, and people on the flipside want us to vote as well. Mind bending as ever.  Enjoy and don't forget to VOTE.

In this episode, Heather and I dive into a candid conversation about how performance and perfectionism, often rooted in trauma, shaped our lives and careers. While these traits brought us significant success, they also created unhealthy patterns that we had to confront.  Heather, a Certified Master Coach for Kingdom entrepreneurs, shares her insights on how to serve others through your gifts and passions while making a lot of money doing it. We also explore the idea that money isn't inherently evil—it simply magnifies what's in your heart, and if you've got a heart for Jesus, it can be a powerful tool for good.   Follow our Guest Heather Shriver Burns   www.heathershriverburns.com https://www.instagram.com/heathershriverburns?igsh=MXNwMm9rcnVsNHI4   Follow our Host Rhonda Velez https://instagram.com/realityoflife02?igshid=h9pdm39br7u   https://www.facebook.com/rhonda.velez

In this exclusive interview, we talked to Monte Shriver, an Aztec, NM resident when the alleged flying saucer crash at Hart Canyon occurred. He never heard of the case until 52 years later, when he was visiting his mom and heard news of an Aztec symposium. And after an intensive year-long investigation of the details of the case, Shriver, a retired college professor and accountant, reveals what he uncovered about the Aztec legend. His findings are also described in a multipart post for Kevin D. Randle's blog, A Different Perspective.
