Wer ist dieser Ashtar? Wer sind die Starseeds? Außerirdische und ich? Never ever! Lange Zeit hatte ich mich dagegen gewehrt und mein Verstand grätschte mir ständig dazwischen. Ufos, die um die Erde positioniert sind. Sowas gibt es nicht. Das kann nicht sein. Und viele viele andere Gedanken tummelten sich in meinem Kopf. Aufgestiegene Zivilisationen, die der Erde und der Menschheit helfen? Ich nannte es den „Starseed-Hype“ und sah mich nicht als einen Teil dieser Mission. Über Meditationen kam ich dann doch zu Ashtar. Adonai Ashtar Sheran, der Leiter der Friedensmission. Weitere, tausende an lichtvollen Helfern stehen der Menschheit und allen Zivilisationen, wo es des Friedens bedarf zur Seite und unterstützen diese durch das Weiterleiten lichtvoller Energien, die für ihre Entwicklung und den Aufstieg in höhere Dimensionen wichtig sind.So merkte ich schnell, dass es für mich keinen Sinn machte, mich noch weiter gegen die Zusammenarbeit mit den Sternengeschwistern zu wehren, denn meine Seele hatte schon längst der Friedensmission zugestimmt. Der Gedanke daran, meinen Beitrag zum globalen Frieden leisten zu dürfen und damit ein Beitrag zu unserem kollektiven Aufstieg zu sein, erfüllte mich immer mehr mit Freude! Doch wie genau arbeiten die Starseeds und wer sind sie?Höre dir die heutige Folge an und erfahre, ✨  wer die Starseeds sind und welche Aufgaben sie haben✨  was Adonai Ashtar Sheran zum Thema Weltfrieden zu sagen hat✨  wie dein innerer Krieg entsteht und wie du ihn beendest✨  warum die Ablehnung deines Selbstes eine Einladung an die Schattenseite darstellt✨  warum es so wichtig ist, deine männliche UND deine weibliche Seite anzunehmen und zu leben✨  wie auch du ein Beitrag für die Friedensmission sein kannst.Dieses Channeling ist für mich eine große Freude und Ehre gewesen. Ich durfte Ashtars Energie fühlen und diese vermittelt Präsenz, Klarheit, Mitgefühl und Ausgerichtetsein in Einem. Verbinde dich gerne in deiner Meditation mit Ashtar und den Sternengeschwistern und bitte sie um Unterstützung und um Antworten auf deine Fragen. Mittlerweile weiß ich, dass es stimmt, dass sie echt sind. Dazu hat mir auch nochmal das Channeln die Augen geöffnet und meinen Horizont erweitert, was die Geistige Welt angeht. Ich freue mich, diese wunderschönen Erfahrungen mit dir teilen zu dürfen. Alles Liebe und bis bald! Deine Maja „REIKI DEEPDIVE - Be part of the process.

Col. Steven Mount '08  |  Host, Lt. Col. Naviere Walkewicz '99   Naviere Walkewicz Welcome to the first episode of Season 4 of Long Blue Leadership, the podcast where we share insights on leadership through the lives and experiences of Air Force Academy graduates. I'm Naviere Walkewicz, Class of '99. We're kicking off this season with a story that shows how our earliest experiences can shape the kind of leaders we become. Lt. Col. Steve Mount, Class of 2008, call sign “Meathead,” didn't fully realize that truth until later in life. Adopted as an infant, he came to understand that love and support aren't guaranteed. They're gifts. Over his 17-year career, Col. Mount has flown missions across a wide range of aircraft, from the C-130 to special operations to the U-2. And today, he's in command. But through every stage, one belief has stayed with him: People succeed not only through their own efforts, but because someone believed in them. In this conversation, we'll talk about how those early lessons have shaped criminal mom's approach to leading airmen, mentoring the next generation of pilots, balancing mission and family and building teams that are rooted in trust. His story is a powerful reminder that leadership isn't about the me game, it's about lifting others so they can achieve their best. So what better way to start our new season? Col. Mount, welcome to Long Blue Leadership. Lt. Col. Steven Mount Thank you so much, ma'am for having me. I really do appreciate this opportunity to at least try to share some of my stories, experiences and honestly, if anything touches base with those who listen in and resonates, that's why I'm glad to be here. Naviere Walkewicz Well, let's start right with a way for them to connect with you. You mentioned your call sign is Meathead. Let's start there. Lt. Col. Steven Mount OK, I'll do my best to tell the story as quickly as I can. And the fun thing about being a pilot — but also I think this plays true in any type of storytelling environment — is, you know, only 10% of the story has to be true when it comes to your call signs. So to start… Oh my gosh— I know there's some friends out there who are going to laugh at this, especially of mine. Going through pilot training… The last part of the pilot training, when I was in the T-1s, when you get to that last part, you know, after you've gone through all the ups and downs, you kind of celebrate a little bit more. And that's what I've done. I had gone out with a couple of my rugby brothers that I played with at the Academy, and we'd gone out to just a country, a little country dance hall, and, you know, we're just enjoying and celebrating. And one of my rugby brothers introduced me to one of his friends through his wife, and this individual, who I didn't know much about at the time, had said— I said, “Yeah, I'm starting T-1s here and all that good stuff. And I immediately, immediately — especially in the celebratory mood I was in — thought, “Oh, this is another awesome student that's coming through. Like, hey, let me start giving you the tidbits. Let me start laying out what to expect.” And that's how I treated this individual for the rest of that evening. You know, we're dancing and having fun and just talking it up. And it was a good evening. It was really good evening. Come Monday morning, I get the word I'm flying with this new instructor in the T- 1s. And I had no idea who this individual was. I did not recognize the name at all. And I asked our flight schedule, like, “Who's this?” Is like, “Oh, it's a new person coming in. I think you're one of his first flights back in the T-1s training wise.” And I was like, “Well, OK, I'm ready to go.” And I sit down, and then this instructor sits down right across from me, and it's a major and sure enough, it's this, the person I thought was a student at the Texas dance, the country dance hall that we were at.   Naviere Walkewicz Oh boy!   Lt. Col. Steven Mount He looks me up and down. Oh, it was one of those moments of shock, of like, “What do I… Where do I go from here?” And he looks me up and down, he goes, and he laughs, and he goes, “Man, you are just such a meathead.” And so that's where it started. And call signs and nicknames— sometimes, some people like, wanna try change it throughout their careers and try to like, “No, that's not who I am. I don't want that to define me.” So as I'm leaving pilot training at Laughlin Air Force Base, Del Rio, I'm heading towards my first assignment in Tucson, Arizona for the EC-130 and I'm like, “OK, here we go. I'm gonna start fresh. I'm not that meathead that went through the Academy playing rugby. I'm not that meathead in pilot training to I just like to have fun. Just like to have fun. I do my own thing, and I'm gonna start fresh.” And I get out, and one of the very first meetings I had in the new squadron was with the DO, Lt. Col. Reimer. He sits down with me, and he says, “Come on in, because I'm in blues. He goes, come on in. Sit down. And then he's just quiet. I'm like, this is interesting. He looks me up and down and goes, “Yeah, you definitely look like a meathead.” And I'm like, “Whoa.” So sure enough, the major that I flew with was really good friends and had flown with this squadron, told this DO about me, and the DO got through his spiel, introduced me to my first flight commander before I deployed in Afghanistan, and goes, “Hey, this is Meathead. Take care of him. He's a good one.” I was like, “No, no, everyone, please, let's stop.” And then throughout the years, things kept happening that just reinforced the call sign, Meathead. I got into U-2s, me and a buddy, also pilots. We popped both tires on a T-38 at Long Beach Airport, and we closed down the airport for about five hours. It was on the local news. Not happy about that. And then there were multiple times where I tried to, like, get rid of the Meathead persona, the callsign, but I think it was finally solidified on a CNN interview on one of my U-2 deployments, where the lady interviewing us goes, “OK, we can't use your real name. So what name should we use? And before I could even say anything, one of my buddies just pops up and goes, “ It's Meathead.CNN lady, use Meathead.” And I was like, “OK.” And then international news in that interview, I am Capt. Meathead. And I never got away from the call sign, Meathead.   Naviere Walkewicz We are gonna find that clip of Capt. Meathead.   Lt. Col. Steven Mount It is out there, just U-2… I think the article under CNN: “U-2 spy plane carries out the mission against terrorist organizations.” You know, not that I didn't remember what it was called.   Naviere Walkewicz Well, I would say you heard it here first, but you didn't. You heard it maybe, if you heard it in the U-2 world or what have you. But we're gonna find it again. And so we're gonna resurrect here first, but we're so glad you're here. Yes, yes, this is awesome. And you know, I think one of the things I really enjoyed in our early conversation, and what we're gonna share today is how you kind of look back and you are very grateful and thankful for the upbringing you have. And so let's kind of go back to the fact, you know, not a lot of our guests share kind of their background, and the fact that you share that you were adopted. What did that kind of, what role did that play in your life? And, you know, was it insignificant? Or, you know, what did you glean from that? Lt. Col. Steven Mount Yeah, I really appreciate that question. And honestly, I really appreciate you giving the opportunity to kind of share that. It has played a huge role in my life. Adopted 11 months. And what it did for me is set the foundation of the family. It may not necessarily be one you have, it's the one who who's there for you, who supports you, who loves you. And then, honestly, the other part about being adopted, which I kind of— there were struggles, like, it wasn't perfect, but there were struggles in my mind where I wanted to show that those who adopted me, I wanted to show them that I could be more and thank them, you know, on a daily basis, for everything they had done for me, supporting me. So that drove me, that motivated me to get into the Academy, or even— back up, even like, do well in high school, get into the Academy, become a pilot. All of that was the basis of— I want to show that in a weird way, I want to show that your investment was worth it. You know, you found me, you gave me the love and support. So I'm going to give back to you by showing you what you were able to, you know, give a second chance, small, little child. And then the— but the other side of that, and I don't know how many of those who are adopted, who feel like this sometimes. Can't be the only one, but I can at least convey it here. There's a sense of, you know, “Why? Why was I adopted?” You know, what really happened in the sense that those who biologically brought me into this world, was I not worthy enough? Was I just a bad situation. And so there's that part I keep motivational wise to be like, “Well, I'm going to show them what they're missing out on.” And I know that's more of the negative kind of side of the whole internal conflict of being adopted. But I would be lying if I didn't say that that was part of the drive that kept me going throughout those years.   Naviere Walkewicz Something that came to my mind when you were saying that was, you know— when did you find out? And how old were you to kind of start having those, those thoughts and questions, you know, not only why, but how do I show that I am worthy?   Lt. Col. Steven Mount Yes, so my mother and father did an amazing job of, I remember, I can't remember the name of this particular book, but there was a book that she had given me that she read to me, and that, throughout the years, as I she utilized, helped me start reading and whatnot. And the basis of the book was, you know, cartoon with a little bit of words, is, “You were not purchased, you know, you were not bought at a store. You know you were, you were brought in and chosen and to be a part of a family.” So she, she wanted to have this idea that I always knew, that was adopted. She never wanted to surprise me, or she never wanted to be like, one day, like, “Hey, just so you know…” She did an awesome job of leading into that, Hey, you were adopted. But don't look at it as this, ‘We went to the store and we picked out the one we liked.' It's more of a, ‘We wanted you in our family.' And that's where it started.” It started, “We wanted a bigger family.” Whether they were, at the time, not able to grow or have themselves, they decided that, “We still want to grow a family. So let's look through adoption as a means.” So she had that book, I remember that book, and then the other book, which I still love to this day, and I got a copy for my kids, I Love You Forever, and how she would read that book to me every single night with the words, “…and I love you forever, like you for always. As long as you're living, my baby, you'll be.” That showed me that it didn't matter where I came from. This was my mom, you know, this was my family. So she did a really good job laying that foundation for me, for who I've become to be.   Naviere Walkewicz So would you put your parents in that bucket of inspirational leaders for you that have shaped you? And are there others?   Lt. Col. Steven Mount One-hundred percent. Like I said, the foundational piece of being that inspirational leader, to me in the sense of working on it all the time, right? It's not simple but accepting people for who they are. Where they're at in life. Accept them for their faults, accept them for the things that they don't like about themselves, but just accepting them and giving them the support, giving them the love that they need to show them, that they can do anything, I like to think for the most part, I'm an example of that because of what my parents did for me.   Naviere Walkewicz So, as a young boy, and you talked a little bit about this, you wanted to prove to them. So Was that something you feel over time, you continue to develop this desire to show your worth? And where have you seen that show up I guess even throughout your going— maybe even at the Academy, how has that kind of formed you as a leader individually?   Lt. Col. Steven Mount Yes, yes. So the showing the worth, the showing the value, or paying it back and showing my parents, once again, I use the word “investment” like it was good— I was good investment. Like I was a good return on investment. But it's helped when I've gone through those struggles, when I've gone— because the first time I put in for the Academy and… back up just a little bit. My dad likes to tell a story that I even told my fifth-grade teacher that she was, you know, “What do you want to do?” I was like, “I'm gonna be a pilot.” I said nothing else. Like, I want to be pilot. I want to fly. And then I had had an awesome mentor whose son, at the time, was going through the process of the Academy, sophomore year in high school, and she helped me with that. Good ol' Mrs. Williams, amazing. When I first initially applied for the Academy, I did not get it. I got a “Sorry, you are not competitive at this time.” Here starts some of those moments in your life to where, like, “OK. How can I bounce back? Do I accept the rejection, or do I find another means?” And even when that happened, that first time, my parents, they were like, “It's OK, it's OK. You don't need to…” They were always like, “You don't need to prove anything else. We love you, regardless.” I was like, “No, I need to prove this.” So I found other means, and I was, I will say, blessed in the sense that at that time, my running back coach for the high school reached out to the Academy. This happened early my senior year, and reached out and was like, “Hey, we have, I have someone who I think might do well for your program.” And then, sure enough, I got invited to come out for a football recruiting visit and I sat down with Fisher Deberry, and he just goes, “Would you like to play for this program?” And once again, I was like, “Wait a minute. No, no. I already got rejected. You know, I already gotten the…” But obviously I was going through my head, but all I said was, “Yes, sir, I would love to play for this program. I'd love to go the Academy.” And he made it happen. And I got recruited, and I got the invite to come out, to go the United States Air Force Academy. Wow. And once again, that only happened because my parents, they said, “Hey, we don't care what happens. We love you. Support you. You make the decision and we're here behind you.” And then I had a coach who was like, “I got you. I've seen what you do. I support this.” And went out on a limb for me. And then, in a sense, I guess Fisher DeBerry was also like, “I'm taking this football recruit, I hope he makes it through the Academy. So the love and support is, was there throughout.   Naviere Walkewicz What a path, I mean, that is quite unique. And, yeah, that's something to just kind of sit in a little bit, right? You know, the path of to your point, it just comes from support. And obviously you have to do the things to make sure that when the opportunity presents itself, you're ready to take that step, but what an incredible story of those who have supported you. Let's talk about a little bit before we kind of get into I think, what I think is the next real moment in your life — when you talk about becoming a father in your family. But while you're at the Academy, I'm just curious what more you learned about yourself as a leader, because you no longer had to prove to your parents that you were worthy of their investment, right? Like this is investment, right? Like this is a new season of your life. What did that look like for you as a leader?   Lt. Col. Steven Mount The challenges and the experiences I had the Academy — and I know I talked about this in one of my interviews previously with the foundation — was that I had to I went through my sophomore year and the rigors of academics, of the military side, of sports. It was taking this toll. I will say this many times. I'll continue to say I'm not the smartest crayon in the shed.   Naviere Walkewicz Wait, did you say crayon in the shed?   Lt. Col. Steven Mount I did. A little mixture of the sharpest tool in the box, exactly. I love it! I'm glad someone caught it. That's perfect! But yes, hard work was probably the foundation of what the Academy taught me was you persevere by hard work. You do the day in; you do the day out. You get after it. Because I was not getting after it after sophomore year. My GPA was not the best, and I had to approach my sophomore year, which very fortunate, because I had done my best to put in the time with the football program. But obviously I was losing ground in the academic side and that came back to almost biting, in the sense that I could have failed out. So I had had one of those— Once again, my father being an amazing mentor himself, whether he knows it or not. And I talked to him, and I said, “Dad, I think I have to quit football. I don't think I can continue with this, the rigors of all of this with the Academy.” And he goes, “Well, what was your dream?” I was like, “My dream was to fly.” He goes, “Well, did you go there to play football? Or did you go there to fly?” And that was an easy answer. But then I was thinking about all those coaches and mentors and those who helped me get to where I was, and I never really quit at something, and that's what it felt like. It really felt like I was quitting. I was quitting my teammates. I was quitting my coaches. And that weighs heavy on your soul, for all those out there who just are struggling, like, “Should I continue?” But my dad was right. My priorities weren't to become a football player, because I wasn't gonna be. I wasn't going to be. I wasn't going to become, you know, some — who can I name drop? — Chad Hall, you know, going to the NFL, doing amazing things. I wasn't going to be out there starting on, maybe third if they still have fourth string… maybe fourth string. So my dad helped me with those priorities by, once again, just being supportive. He never said one way or the other. He said, “What do you want to do?” And so I had that hard conversation with him, and went down to the Field House, and I said, “I apologize. I have to quit so I can concentrate on what I want to do for my dreams.” And once we had that was hard, that was very difficult. So that was one of the challenges at the Academy presented, and how I bounced back from that was you always go two ways. You always go into the woe is me and you know, just kind of beat yourself up and just hold on to that, that pride and ego being shattered. Or you can find a community, a support group, that will be there with you. And I found that almost immediately with my rugby brothers. They're just like me. They're like, “Hey, we just like to hang out at our own little table at Mitchell Hall. We like to just come out, play the sport, do what you love to do, athletic wise, and you'll have some more free time, obviously, for academics.” Not that I'd utilize that correctly still, but that's what it took to get me through those next couple years, that and my amazing roommates. I think all of us Academy grads and those who are going through right now, a support of a good roommate is huge. I that, uh, I appreciate the question, because now it's just dawning on me how much I just really appreciate my roommates at the Academy for their support as well. Very similar to my parents, it's like, “Hey, I don't care what you do, but I'm here to support you, love you regardless.” So I got a lot of that the Academy, and that's what helped get me through.   Naviere Walkewicz That's amazing. I think there's a couple of things I want to dig into a little bit. The first one is, you know, I think deciding to have that tough conversation where, one, you felt like you're already prideful, and you're having to, I'm putting in air quotes, “quit.” Can you talk about how you approached that, other than, I know you went and did it. But I think sometimes one of the most challenging things we can do as leaders is have a tough conversation when it involves us either stepping back or taking a step down from what seems to be the trajectory of what's next. And so I'm just— if you could just share a little bit more about that, I think that would be helpful.   Lt. Col. Steven Mount So, and I just want to clarify: As leaders, we have to recognize and we have to have the courage to have the tough conversations, because that wouldn't be the first time that I'd have to make a decision in that regard, or have the tough conversations to where it was gonna affect me personally or those around me. You deal with it understanding, one, give yourself a little bit of grace. Give yourself a little bit of grace in the sense that whatever tough decision you have to make, you're not alone. And I imagine you might not always be the first person who had either to make that decision or was going through something like that. I was not the only one going through something at that time like that. I didn't know that. And so I've had other conversations where others were like, “Yeah, I also, you know how to make that type of call to not play anymore or give up something, because my priority was this...” You know, what was driving me to succeed was something else, and that followed me well throughout my career, because I've had many, many tough conversations. I've had the tough talk as a leader. I've had to tell someone that, “I'm sorry, your dreams to become a pilot…” It's not going to happen because of their performance. I've had conversations on how to get through those tough moments and said how to get on the other side. And I know it's like a broken record, but it just comes through with the support of being there for that individual or being there to guide them to the next step. And I had that. I had that when I made that tough decision. I had someone want to give myself grace. Two, I realized I was not alone. And three, I had the support to get from this side of that tough decision bridge to the other side. And because that support was there, I learned that, and I learned to pass that on from all my leadership opportunities, to be like, “Let me be the one who guides you over this bridge. It's not gonna be fun. There's gonna be parts are gonna hurt. It's gonna be painful. But I will be next to you to get to the other side, to where we can get back to a good place. We get back to what really matters and get back to succeed in maybe another sense.” So the tough convos as leaders, you have to have those tough convos. Do not shy away from them. They're gonna happen, whether you like it or not.   Naviere Walkewicz I'm really glad you shared it that way, because I think it created a pathway to how to approach it, to your point. You know, it they're not comfortable, they're not designed to be that way. But if you start it with, you know, being that support in mind, and how to get someone, even if you're giving the worst news, the worst news where, “This was your dream, you're not gonna be able to do it because of this. And here's now where we're at, and how can I help you succeed through that?” I think that's what a wonderful lesson you just shared. And so I want to dive now into your career, because you had a really broad career, one that's not a traditional path, and I want to understand why it looked that way. So C-130, EC-130, Special Ops, you— talk a little bit about how you navigated that and what was the driving reasons behind that navigation?   Lt. Col. Steven Mount Yes, ma'am. So something you said earlier, which I really liked, I really love to try to convey to those around me, and actually, I've gone through some of these conversations over the last month and a half with younger instructor pilots. Luck is just the crossroad of opportunity and being prepared, and I'm pretty sure someone super smarter than me said that. I barely remembered. But the opportunities that present themselves to me for what I wanted to do, for my goals in the Air Force. So thankfully, even getting through pilot training, that was, in itself, amazing, transformational. Getting those wings, right? Getting those wings because pilot training, just like my Academy career, I had some ups and downs and some challenges but was able to get through because the sense of me becoming a pilot was first and foremost to fly. I want to be up there in the sky. I want to rush past the clouds. I want to touch the highest point I can. I want to be a pilot's pilot. And then right behind that was I want to accomplish the mission for whatever platform or whatever weapon system I'm given, aircraft wise. So those are my two biggest priorities. And that helped me understand that I had some failures of pilot training when I got to my first assignment, EC-130s. But that was perfect for me. That was— I never knew that. I never knew that in pilot training, that the EC-130 would fulfill me in that sense of my sense of purpose as much as it did. And I'm and getting out there, like said, four or five deployments to Afghanistan, as well as multiple TDYs. I was doing the mission, and I was happy, because I was— that's exactly what I wanted to do. That's exactly what young Meathead Mount was built for. But there were parts of me that still wanted to do more. Like, I felt like I could do more. I could be— I could help out more. I could— it's just itching, or not itching, but just burning in the back. It's like, “Hey, you are built for so much more. You can do more. Let's look for those opportunities.” So, funny enough, the first opportunity I had at that time, or I thought I had, was I reached out to— it's no longer around — but the 6th Special Operations Squadron at Duke Field. It was a combat aviation advisory mission. These individuals got to travel the world. I got to learn languages. Literally, they were sent to school to learn languages, to embed with other nations, to build those relationships, to be on the ground but still flying multiple different aircraft. I was like, “That's awesome. That sounds like me. That sounds like something I can do, and I can bring value to the table, and all the above.” So I put in my application; it was immediately rejected. In their eyes, I did not have the experience yet. I did not have what they were looking for, understandable. So here I am in another situation to where, like, “OK, well, what do I— is there any other means or ways that I can continue to fulfill my purpose as a pilot and get after the mission? Because that's what I really wanted to do, get after mission, whatever that looks like. I thought the sticks was an opportunity. They had said no to me, that's fine. And then I had an amazing friend reach out. He goes, “Hey, I heard you're getting a little long winded out there at EC-130s. You should put an application in for the U-2.” And I was like, “What are you talking about? I have no jet experience, other than the T-1. I don't have that background to be that type of caliber pilot.” He goes, “Nope, nope. They're looking for good guys and girls. They're looking for those who are motivated to do the mission. And if you could fly, you can fly, if you can't, well, you know, they'll figure that out, and they'll send you home.” And I was like, “OK.” And so I submitted for the U-2, put my application in, they call me out, and it's a two-week interview. The first week they have you in service dress, and you meet all the leadership, and you meet all the other pilots, and just have conversations. That's all, they just wanna get to know you. You know, “What's your true motivation for being here?” And I explained it, just like I've explained to you: “I wanna fly. I wanna do the mission. I wanna be a pilot's pilot. I wanna do all the cool stuff.” And they go, “OK.” Well, week two, they put you in U-2, a two-seater. They have two-seater trainers. They put you in a U-2. They give you all the weekend prior to study, and they say, “Cool, let's see what you got.” And they have an instructor, he instructs, he does his best to give you tidbits on how to safely land the U-2. And you have three days. You have two training flights and then a sort of assessment evaluation flight on that third day, and oh my gosh, did I ever humble myself as a pilot when I realized how horrible I truly was. I felt like I could not land the U-2 safely. I felt like I was messing everything up. I felt like— as soon as we got done with that third day of flying, and we got back into the squadron, and I remember the IP just being like, and then, you know, walks away because they have to talk to the squadron commanders. They have to go talk to the other leadership there. And once again, I find myself like, “OK, I 100% failed. I mean, I gave it my best. I gave it everything I had. But, you know, here I am gonna fall short again.” And they do this. And I realized this afterwards, that they do this, they do that like wait game, you know, they keep you in suspense for a reason. And I waited, it felt like hours and hours and hours. I imagine it probably might only be like hour, hour and a half. And a squadron commander called me in. He goes, “Yeah, the IP definitely didn't like some of this, some of these, these type of landings, some of this airmanship you're showing. I didn't really like this. But overall, he says you're a nice enough guy, so do you want the job?” And I was like, “Whoa.” And it blew my mind. And that was awesome. That was awesome because once again, leading up to that moment, it was the support of my friend who reached out. It was the support of my wife being like, “Yeah, I think you can do this.” And I had even called, my parents were like, “I had this opportunity to fly this really unique aircraft. It's going to be challenging. What do y'all think?” They're like, “Hey, we love you. Go get it.” And I was like, no other words of advice, no other like, inspiring — you know, my dad, a Florida farm man, was just like, “No, I think he'll do fine. We love you and just let us know how it goes.” I was like, man, I'm really missing out in motivational speeches. But you know what? The sentiment is there, and that's all I need. So I got that position, did a few years with the U-2. And then towards the end of the U-2 career, I got word from another friend saying the 6th Special Operations Squadron is growing. “We are looking for readily qualified and experienced people.”   Naviere Walkewicz And this is the one that rejected you.   Lt. Col. Steven Mount Yes, ma'am, I got rejected last time. He goes, “It's OK. Put in another application. You know, you're a little more experienced now, you've got a little bit more under your belt.” And I said, “OK,” and I put in an application, it got rejected again, and here I am, like, “What is going on?” My buddy reached out to me—   Naviere Walkewicz Your name is blacklisted in that group across the board. Like, “Oh, there's that Mount guy. Cross it out.”   Lt. Col. Steven Mount But I think that ended up being somewhat of a blessing. It was like, “Wow, This guy is motivated to come out here.” Because they had seen the last application years ago. They'd seen this one. And I think the word finally got around that's like, “Hey, he's actually really motivated to come try out, at least for this mission.” And so once again, from good mentors, they're like, “Go ahead, try it out. Put the application in one more time, see what happens.” I did, got picked up for assessment selection. It's another week, week and a half interview. They challenge you mentally, they challenge you physically. They put you in situations to see how you react. I don't wanna give too much away for that process, even though, you know, unfortunately that process is not there anymore. But after that grueling week, they once again, here I am in front of another squadron commander, and here they are opening my life in front of them, and they're saying, “Well, we don't like this. We definitely don't like this. Tell us a little more about this,” you know. And that was about an hour interview, sit down, and it's not just the squadron commander. It was leadership — four or five individuals. It was an Army lieutenant colonel's flight doc behind them, you know, kind of doing that very watching, waiting, assessing, and another one of the situations, I'm like, oh, “Here we go. I don't think it's gonna happen.” But then at the end of that interview, they sit down, squadron commander stands up and goes, “Welcome to the 6th.” And the only things I can think of — and I know a lot of listeners or viewers out there do the same thing, and I tell this to my young when they get their wings, I tell them this as well — think of that first person, or persons, that when something amazing happens to you, you immediately reach out to them and you tell them, “Thank you for the support, thank you for the love, thank you for believing in me when others didn't.” And that's exactly what I did after that one. I called my wife, and I called my parents. I said, “It happened. We got it. I got it,” you know, because it wasn't just me, and I know those experiences going from one mission to the next, and those setbacks have— I get to share these stories all the time with these young instructor pilots that I'm with, as well as students, because I get to utilize it as a leadership tool to be like, “Don't give up on yourself. That's first and foremost. And then even if you believe you might give up on yourself, trust me, there's someone like me or your family members or your squadmates, they won't give up on you. And just remember that.” And that's why I get to share these stories throughout my career, of like, “Hey, I failed at this. Look where I'm at now, because I had the support and because I kept going, Hey, I failed at this. Look how it played out. I'm here.” So a lot of my transition from different platforms and different experiences has helped shape that leadership side of me to say, simply put, “It's OK to fail, all right?” I mean, you're never going to succeed if you have this tried and failed a couple times, right? So, right,   Naviere Walkewicz Wow. Well, I want to go into— because you've mentioned this a couple times. We've talked about your parents, but you know, to have a career that's successful and to navigate that, you talked about your wife. So I'm curious if you can share with listeners who have to maybe the word is not choose between. But how do you navigate the importance of your marriage and that relationship with your profession, and trying to succeed in that trajectory, whatever that trajectory is for you. So maybe you can talk a little bit about how that, how that worked throughout all of those transitions.   Lt. Col. Steven Mount Oh, OK. I usually do better at this from a better half nearby, which she is, in a sense. She's trying to work out and give me her working space right now, which I love. I'm gonna start with this. It's not easy. It is work. It is reps, the day in, the day out. It's not easy. I don't believe I've ever had a convo with someone when they're trying to balance the work and family life to where it's like, “Oh, that was easy, you know, I just do this and they do this, and we're good to go.” No, it is constant conflict of schedules. It is sharing what's going on. It's the ups and downs. So I'd like to start with that: It's not easy. And if anyone ever tells you it is easy, please ask them how they're doing it, and then spread their wise words of wisdom to all of us. Because that's probably the first thing: It's not easy. Once you recognize that you can get past understanding like, “OK, I'm not alone in this, that this is not easy, and I can start talking and sharing my experiences and seeing from those who seem to have it together. What are they doing to make it work? So I start there. It's not easy. Second, you have to be a team. I think there's a lot of us that think that, and my wife definitely did initially, and that was on me, that she thought that my career was the most important, that what I did and how I executed the mission and where I was going, that that was the No. 1 priority. And I found it that's not the case. I found that's not the case, because, sure, when we didn't have kids yet, and we were in Tucson, it's a little easier, because I would go on my deployments, and she would go to the job, she would go to work, and she had and she supported that, because I was out there, you know, fighting the good fight, accomplishing a mission, doing everything the Air Force needed me to do. And that's what she knew was important for me. So she supported that through and throughout, and she supported it to where I imagined, to the sense of she didn't feel like she could speak to say things that maybe I would like in the sense of me doing my mission, or coming home from Afghanistan with some of my experiences. Ahe felt that maybe sometimes, that she didn't have a word to convey to like, “Hey, this really scared me.” Or, “Hey, when you were gone, I saw the news and I was frightened. And you know, when I saw this happen, I just wanted to reach out to you, and I just want to make sure you're OK.” And she never felt initially like that she could convey those feelings, because it might affect me. It might affect my, you know, mentality while being overseas and down range. So she held that in, she held it in. She kept strong. She put on the “I'm here to support you” and I feel bad, you know, thinking back on that, that I should have given her the space to like, “Tell me what you're feeling. Tell me what you're going through. I don't want you to, I don't want you to struggle in silence. If you know you see something or there's something that scares you, let me know.” And unfortunately, I didn't learn that lesson until way, way later in my career, because she'd always kept that strength in and even when we started having kids, she still did. I kick myself all the time now that— we got to California, in the U-2s, we had an incident down range to where they needed me to bump up my deployment out there, to get out there to take care of the situation. And I'd asked, I was like, “Well, how much sooner do you need me?” Because we had just had our first son. You know, the dynamic's changing. The family dynamic is changing, and especially with your first born. And they said, “We need you to leave in about a week.” Here I was once again. And I know we have kind of kind of mentioned that I was I was in the mean mentality I was in. I was gonna be a pilot's pilot. I was gonna get the mission done. I was going to do everything I could to prove myself, and if my country needs me to be out there in a week to take care of this mission, that my family and my wife will understand. And that was that was not the way I should look at it. It really wasn't. But because I was not seeing her as a teammate, and she held it in — and thank goodness we had her mother-in-law. We had some family come out and support with a new baby. But I could tell that was one of the first times to where looking back on it now that maybe I could have said, “Can you find someone else?” You know, maybe I should have what I'm doing, hopefully you're doing now and teaching others. You have to balance that family with mission and the prioritize what is truly important at that moment. And that's something I failed to do at that time. It would happen again later on, but thankfully— so when I got to the 6th Special Operations Squadron, and at this time, especially after we had our second child in California, the wife had mentioned more. She started coming out of the shell like, “Hey, I do need you a little bit more now. I need you, and I need to be able to express and convey what I do and don't like.” And I was listening, but I was not listening the way she needed me to listen. I was not being that teammate on my side. So I heard, “Hey, I just need more support with the family. So whatever career decision we make next, let's align that.” And I was in my head, I was like, “Yes, you're absolutely right.” That's why the 6th Special Operations Squadron, when I got that interview and I picked up, it was so important, because I had family in that area, and family could get to us easier. So I was thinking, “Awesome. I have the support system for you there. I got the assignment. You're going to be taken care of.” I can tell that's not yet what she was wanting. And I will credit good old Col. Valentino. I was spinning up to go to Lebanon with the team, and we're about to have our third child. And here I was once again, like, “Yep, gotta get back to the mission. Gotta show my value. Gotta get in there, do it.” And the wife understands. We have two kids already. We're gonna have a third. So we've already had two. We kind of know how this goes. We're good to go. But I could tell, once again, looking back, everything's— that she wasn't happy, but she was ready to put up that wall again, to be like, “OK, I have to support him. Have to support what he does, and I have to, because that's what the military is asking me. That's what this new community…” And then Col Valentino, he came down. He goes, “Hey, are you about to have another child?” And I was like, “Yes, sir.” He goes, “When?” And I gave him the date. And he goes, “Your deployment date is like, a month after that.” I was like, “Yes, sir. This is our third child. We'll be good to go. I have the support system for the wife now, and she'll be taken care of. Good to go.” And he goes, “No, you're staying home. I don't need you.” He goes, “Did you want to ask me if there's anyone else wants to go so you can be there for your wife and your family?” And that blew my mind, that just, I don't know. It came out of nowhere for someone in a leadership role to say, “No, I'm not gonna send you on this deployment. I want you to be there with your family.” And that held in tight, and from then on, everything changed, and how I led and how I would push the mission. But I wouldn't do it to the extent of, could I not help someone balance their family life with their mission? And that took too long for me to realize. So what I say to everyone out there, it's not easy, but you come home from a long day and you're mentally exhausted and the mission is not going good, or you're getting ready for deployment, take a moment, sit down and just talk with your teammate at home. You have to look at it as teammates. They are your partner. They will be just like I mentioned before. They will be your support system through thick and thin, because they've probably seen you at your worst, and they want you to be at your best. But you can't do that unless you take care of that home front and treat them as your teammate. Because I am still, to this day, trying my best to become the man that I hope that she sees in me and that she wants me to be one day, but I had to fail in seeing it back then so that could see it now. And I think that's one of these things I want to convey. Not easy, and they have to be your teammates.   Naviere Walkewicz Thank you for sharing that. And I think to have a leader that showed you that, which is, now you've imprinted that in your leadership style. You're thinking about the airmen that you come across and how to help them navigate some of those tough choices, but doing it with a, you know, a bigger view of not just the mission, but, like, how do you fit in that with your family? I think that's so powerful, and I'm really glad you shared that, because I know that some of our listeners and our viewers, that's gonna resonate with them as well, because they're gonna remember a time when, “Wow, I didn't even ask if I didn't have to go, or if I didn't have to do this, just because I'm so used to jumping when you say, jump,” right? And I think sometimes it's OK. It's OK. Just a question, like, I'm willing and ready to jump. I just want to make sure is someone else able to do it too because of these reasons, right? So I love that you share that.   Lt. Col. Steven Mount And those leaders have to know their people enough in that regard to also know because ultimately, when you get the mission, then yes, that's what we signed up for, yes. But those leaders know their people, and they know what situation they're in. For example, there's a few times in Special Operations to where we're going on another deployment. But we knew our people, and we knew that some did not have the balance at home, and things were not looking the best they could. “Hey, we can help you out. We can give you all the resources you need. We don't need you on this deployment.” But that takes good leaders, recognizing and taking care of their people and understanding that these individuals cannot be effective down range or where they go if their home life is not taken care of. So, I know that is something that's been talked about for all my leadership training for all the years, but actually applying it is going to start with our future leaders coming up to realize, know your people, know where you can take care of them so that they can take care of the mission.   Naviere Walkewicz That's right. That's right. So this has been incredible. I think the underlying lesson that you shared with us is, obviously having belief in yourself and doing the work and proving your worth, so to speak. But I think it's also recognizing that support network. So if I may ask, you, I have two questions. The first one is, what are you doing to be a better leader every day? Yourself, like, what is something you are actually doing to be a better leader?   Lt. Col. Steven Mount Oh my gosh. Well, I'm recognizing I know I'm not doing it right. Knowing that I'm about taking command already has the underlying nervousness and anxiety, and I realized taking command, why I have these emotions is because I'm afraid to fail, which that makes sense. That makes sense to any logical human being out there. That's like, yeah, I get that. But I have to realize, in that same token, it's OK to fail. It's OK to make mistakes. It's OK that some days you go in there, you're not gonna get it all right. This last year as a director of operations, I've walked out of that building, and there's days been like I didn't accomplish anything. I've messed things up. I didn't do this right. Why am I here? They could have found someone better. And then there were days where, like, yes, I did it, right? I got something accomplished. And on those days, I realized it's because I was taking care of the people and people's needs. And once again, when that happened, they were able to take care of the mission. And that's one of the things that every day I go into work and I ask myself, “Who can I help out? Who needs the motivational kick? Who needs someone to just talk with them? Who needs to share their story?” Because that's what leaders, ultimately, are. We take care of the people. And if I can go in there and just help one person every single day, I would like to think that that's a small success. So that's one thing I'm constantly working on. And it is an effort. It's not easy. It's not easy because you are taking so much and leaders, I don't care what level you're on, all the way from your very first flight command, all the way to your mission command, aircraft commander, all the way to where I am now. You're going to take a lot on your shoulders. You're going to bear, you know, the burden of others, pains, their grief, their successes, their failures. So I guess that's also answer that question. Get ready for that. OK? Because a good leader will do that. They will bear they will help hold the weight. They will support those who need it the most. And we got to do it day in, day out, the reps they have to. So I think I answered the first question, I apologize, was it was.   Naviere Walkewicz The second question is coming. So you're good, you're good. OK. What's something that you know now after having your 17-plus years in the in the military, but also just your life experience — but what's something you know now that you would share with a leader to kind of shorten that timeframe of, like learning those painful things to be better, right? So what would be something you'd share?   Lt. Col. Steven Mount Something I'd share to close that learning gap? Because once again, my call sign is Meathead— I learned lessons the hard way. Do your best to listen more than you talk. Do your best to just take the experiences of others, talk to others, but just listen. Just hear them. Just hear them. I believe that a lot of the things that I could have prevented may have already been told to me, or may have already been, you know, mentored to me, but I just didn't listen. Maybe they said something and “I was like, well, that doesn't jive with being cool or being a pilot, so I'm not gonna listen to that.” I'm pretty sure all of these lessons that hopefully either conveying or passing on, in a sense, I think I learned them early on. I just, I just didn't listen. So for all the leaders out there, do your best to listen, listen more than you talk. It will be wonders. Naviere Walkewicz Oh my gosh, that's just outstanding. And I what I really appreciate about that is, you know, you talked about how you're doing things to get better every day, but even just in the moment, you recognize like that's such an important piece of that is taking the time to listen and reflect so that you can actually really pick up on those cues, maybe, that someone needs your support. So yes, well, this has been incredible. As we wrap up today's episode, I keep coming back to something you said, which was all someone needs to do is just support you. Yeah. So here's the takeaway, leadership is found in how we show up for our people and how we believe in them, and how we remind them that they are capable for more than what they think they are. The question we can always ask ourselves today is, who needs me to believe in them right now? And you actually said that really well. So Col. Mount, I just want to thank you for joining us for this episode of Long Blue Leadership. Is there anything else you want to leave with our listeners today? Lt. Col. Steven Mount Yes. I don't think I'll ever be that leader that does one great act, and everyone's like, that's a great leader. I don't think I'll ever be that leader that gives like, one great speech, like, that's it. He nailed it. He's a great leader. No, if I'm gonna leave something with all of those you know at the Academy and the leaders in the Air Force now — which, by the way, thanks all of you. Me too, man, thank you for your service. You have no idea how much the world needs us right now, so you get out there and see it. So sorry. That was an aside. But thank you to everyone who's at the Academy now, who have served, whose families have served and will continue to serve. But one thing I'll leave to all those young leaders: Your leadership is defined by the acts, the million acts every day, not just by one act, not just by, like I said, not just by one amazing thing that you do. It's defined on you being there, and a million acts per day over a lifetime of your career, of showing up, showing that you care. That's huge, showing that you're fair and consistent. And they will see that your people will see that that those million acts day in day out, of how you treat them, and how you present yourself as a leader. And they will watch. They will watch, and if they can see that you care, and if they can see that you are doing those million acts day in, day out, and you're in there and you're in the grind and you're in the mud with them, they will give you everything, they will, and it's amazing to see, it really is, but that starts with you as the leader. So yeah, that's it, it's those million acts every day of a lifetime career that shows that you're a leader.   Naviere Walkewicz Well, we are so glad that you're out there leading and influencing so many. We're grateful for all of your years and more that you will do. Thank you so much.   Lt. Col. Steven Mount Thank you so much for the opportunity. I really, really enjoyed this.

Radow gründete gemeinsam mit einigen MitstreiterInnen 2018 das Entwicklerstudio Purple Sloth in Berlin - und zwar als Genossenschaft: flache Hierarchien, faire Arbeitsverteilung, keine schmerzende Maloche und Spiele mit linkspolitischem Einschlag. Nun ist ganz frisch mit dem Puzzlespiel "Trails" das neuste Spiel des kleinen Teams erschienen, die sich mit ihrer ungewöhnlichen Arbeit und Arbeitsweise seit sieben Jahren finanzieren können. Die Frage ist: Wie geht das inmitten einer kriselnden Branche? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, hat Dom Schott seinen Gast Radow vor das Mikrofon eingeladen und mit ihm über politische Spiele, Aktivismus und die Frage diskutiert, wie frei man inmitten des Kapitalismus eigentlich wirklich arbeiten kann.

One of the key features of The One Big Beautiful Bill was a meaningful bump to the amount individuals can deduct from their taxable income, raising the threshold for 0% capital gains. Donna and Nathan discuss which taxpayers will benefit most from this change, and how to factor it into your tax planning.

Spontane Late-Night-Vibes und ehrliche Einblicke: Deanibeanii nimmt uns mit von Bielefeld nach Berlin – von der Aufnahmeprüfung (inklusive Zukunfts-Skizzen und Aktmalerei) über Modejobs bis hin zur Haut als Lieblingsleinwand. Sie erzählt, wie „learning by doing“ ihr Handwerk geschärft hat, warum sie nach dem Heiratsantrag praktisch am nächsten Morgen die Hochzeitsplanung gestartet hat, und weshalb sie lieber renoviert als darüber zu reden. Wir sprechen über KI im Alltag (Texte, Workflows – ohne die eigene Handschrift zu verlieren), seltsame Kundenanfragen, Walk-Ins vs. Terminvergabe und Flashdays, die bis Mitternacht gehen. Dazu jede Menge Humor, Lebenspläne der „Zukunftsdini“ und klare Haltung: Am Ende zählt immer der Mensch, der das Werk erschafft. Eine Stunde geerdete Kreativität, kleine Chaosmomente – und viele kluge Sätze, die man sich merken will.Deanibeanii findet ihr auf Instagram genauso wie ihr Studio The Black Dahlia und wenn ihr Bock auf das komplette, 2-stündige Gespräch habt, zieht euch unser ⁠TFTN+ Abo⁠ oder besorgt euch die Folge in ⁠unserem Shop⁠!⁠⁠⁠[ WERBUNG ]Bei unseren Werbepartnern könnt ihr richtig sparen - darunter bei Neonsfeer, Murostar, Killer Ink, Cheyenne Tattoo Equipment, CoalBlack oder Caos Nero!

Hereinspaziert, hereinspaziert, meine Damen und Herren! Jawohl, die letzte Folge unserer vierten Staffel riecht nach Theaterschminke und Sägespänen, denn unser Thema ist der Zirkus. Dabei geht es nur bedingt um Clowns, Akrobaten und Trapezkünstlerinnen, sondern um Songs und Musikstücke, die (in irgendeiner Sprache) das Wort "Zirkus" im Namen tragen. So haben wir eine gewohnt abwechslungsreiche Mischung zusammengestellt, mit melodischem Folk-Rock, düsterem Synth-Pop und Big-Band-Jazz an der Grenze zur Avantgarde. Das älteste Stück, das wir diesmal vorstellen, ist eine Komposition für Xylofon und Orchester und stammt aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Sowas hört man selbst bei uns nicht alle Tage. Neugierig geworden? Dann viel Spaß beim Hören – und Manege frei!

2010 war in vielerlei Hinsicht ein besonderes Jahr: Dungeon Siege feiert seinen 8. Geburtstag, Qui-Gon Jin ist seit neun Jahren verstorben und ein Spiel namens Super Meat Boy bildet die Speerspitze einer neuen Indie-Generation, die sich im Ladenregal breit macht: Ein ultraschwerer 2D-Plattformer, in dem ein Fleischklötzchen mit Glubschaugen tödliche Hindernisse überwinden und seine Freundin retten muss. Das Spiel verbindet absolute Präzision mit dem überspitzten, morbiden und surrealen Humor, der in den Jahren zuvor von skurrilen Flashgames ausgeformt wurde. Sowas wie Super Meat Boy hat es vorher noch nicht gegeben. Das Spiel ist ein Riesenerfolg, wird Teil der Gaming-Popkultur und bringt einige Nachfolger hervor - aber nun steht der vielleicht größte Schritt seit dem Release des ursprünglichen Spiels bevor: Der Sprung in die dritte Dimension. Und den mitverantwortet Dominik Plassmann, Gründer von Sluggerfly und Liebhaber von Horrorkram. Im Gespräch mit seinem Namensvetter fragt Dom Schott nach den großen und kleinen Herausforderungen des Franchise-Sprungs, wie das deutsche Studio überhaupt an diesen prestigeträchtigen Auftrag für Super Meat Boy 3D kam und wieso alle Sluggerfly-Spiele diese gewisse eklig-düstere Note haben. Es wird spannend, es wird lustig und es wird doppel-Dominik!

Coaching ist ein mächtiges Werkzeug – wenn es richtig eingesetzt wird.

Sowas gibt es wirklich bei der Polizei? Eine Dienststelle, die anhand von Gesichtserkennungen den Behörden bei der Strafverfolgung hilft? Diese Dienststelle existiert und zwar im LKA. Wie sowas funktioniert und ob dadurch bereits Täter*innen überführt werden konnten, erzählen uns Jana und Alina vom LKA. Außerdem bringen sie viele Einblicke und spannende Details mit, die ihren Arbeitsalltag beschreiben. Jetzt in der neuen Folge von Kommissar Danger.

Ein kaputter Van, kein Wasser, kein Empfang – zwölf Tage lang kämpft Carolina W. im australischen Outback ums Überleben. Survival-Experte Marc Baumann erklärt, was in solchen Extremsituationen wirklich zählt und wie man sich davor schützt, überhaupt hineinzuraten.

#DTalk #DNEWS24 #AfD #Brandmauer #WernerPatzelt #FriedrichMerz #RobinAlexander #BSW Die von einigen Landesverfassungsschutzämtern als gesichert rechtsextremistisch eingestufte AfD soll nach dem Willen der Delegierten des Bundesparteitages der SPD verboten werden. Die CDU und CSU zögern, da sie ein solches Verfahren als zu unsicher ansehen. Die Grundfrage ist aber, wie politisch sinnvoll wäre überhaupt ein Verbot einer Partei, die bundesweit von jedem fünften Wähler gewählt wird? Und: wie kommt die Union aus der Brandmauer-Falle heraus?Der Politikwissenschaftler Professor Werner J. Patzelt analysiert im DTalk in DNEWS24 die aktuelle politische Lage.

Der Designer Johannes Lott hat wenige Tage vor dieser Podcastaufnahme "Is THIS a game?" veröffentlicht - ein "Anti-Spiel", das gängige Themen, Motive und vor allem Spielmechaniken auf's Korn nimmt. Spielbare Satire ist selten und alles andere als leicht zu machen, wenn sie gut und treffend sein soll - vielleicht einer der Gründe, warum es so wenige andere Satire-Spiele da draußen gibt. Im Gespräch mit Gastgeber Dom Schott erzählt Johannes Lott von seinen Beweggründen, überhaupt ein solches Spiel zu machen. Von hier aus reisen die beiden gemeinsam zurück in der Zeit, als Johannes Lott erst in süddeutschen Werbe-Agenturen und dann beim norddeutschen Daedalic um faire Arbeitsbedingungen ringte.

Diese Folge erzählt die Geschichte eines Falls in Brandenburg. Es geht um die Mutterkuhherden einer Agrargenossenschaft in Teltow Fläming, in der Nähe von Baruth. Wird an diesem Ort Tierleid systematisch in Kauf genommen, während der Wolf als Sündenbock für ein fragwürdiges System missbraucht wird? Seit Anfang April recherchiert der Wolfspodcast zusammen mit Max und dem Team seiner Taskforce Artenschutz an den Hintergründen zu mindestens 11 gerissenen Kälbern in den letzten eineinhalb Jahren. Besuche vor Ort, Gespräche mit Anwohnern und viele Mails mit Behörden bringen Fragen und Ungereimtheiten ans Licht, denen die Artschützer auf den Grund gehen. Wo sind die mit Steuergeldern geförderten Weidezäune, die der Betrieb bekommen hat? Warum spricht der Rissgutachter in seiner Beurteilung von Hütestandart, wo doch alle Weiden nur mit einem Draht gezäunt sind? Die Wolfsschützer sind geschockt, als ihnen außerhalb der Koppeln wenige Tage alte Kälber entgegen laufen. Heartbreaking! Was muss in einer Mutterkuh vorgehen, deren Kalb von Wölfen gerissen wird – und sie nichts dagegen tun kann? Sowas passiert, wenn das Tierleid zum Spielball politischer, landwirtschaftlicher und jagdlicher Interessen wird. Fazit: Das Leben weiterer Kälber ist akut in Gefahr. Es besteht dringender Handlungsbedarf.

Nearly 1/3 of 401(K) assets are held in target date funds, and with recent statistics showing the composition of these funds becoming riskier, some are questioning how this might impact investors in the long term. Donna and Nathan discuss why target date funds are becoming more aggressive, and how to use them appropriately in your portfolio. Also on MoneyTalk, when DIY investors should consider professional advice, and Stock Trivia: Battle of the Sowas. Investments in target-date funds are subject to the risks of their underlying holdings. The year in the fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the workforce. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative investments based on its respective target date. The performance of an investment in a target-date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date Hosts: Donna Sowa Allard, CFP®, AIF® & Nathan Beauvais, CFP®, CIMA®; Air Date: 5/1/2025.

Rehtanz, Christian

„Bis zu 756 Kilometer mit einer Batterieladung.“ Sowas klingt für manche Ohren mehr nach Werbeversprechen als nach Realität. Fakt ist: Autohersteller ermitteln Verbrauchsangaben und Reichweiten nach einem festgelegten Standard: WLTP. Die Werte werden überprüft und seien durchaus zu erreichen, sagt Audi Experte Christian Schmid. WLTP-Reichweiten könne er sogar übertreffen, sagt der Schweizer Hypermiler Felix Egolf. Worauf es dabei ankommt und wie genau Autohersteller den Verbrauch und die Reichweiten nach WLTP ermitteln – das verraten die beiden Experten in dieser Folge – und sie geben dazu Tipps für den Alltag.

Die Autorin Kristine Bilkau schreibt über die großen Fragen, die das ganz normale Leben an uns stellt, so klug, tief und unaufgeregt wie keine andere. In ihrem aktuellen Roman "Halbinsel" geht es um eine Mutter in der Lebensmitte und ihre Tochter, die eigentlich schon ausgezogen und berufstätig war, und nach einem Zusammenruch ins Elternhaus zurückkehrt.Leise, präzise und exemplarisch erzählt sie, wie es uns gelingen kann, in der Lebensmitte neu aufzubrechen. Und sie gibt so gute Denkanstöße, wir wir einander aus den Rollen entlassen, wenn die Kinder erwachsen werden. Aber nicht nur das: Der Roman stellt auch die Frage, was es mit unserem Verhältnis zueinander macht, dass wir, die Elterngeneration der jüngeren Generation die Welt in diesem Zustand hinterlassen. Unbedingt lesen, aber erstmal hören.Ein so tolles Gespräch mit Kristine Bilkau, die für diesen Roman übrigens den Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse erhielt.

Sowas gab's noch nie! Am 31. März, dem Tag nach dem 3:1-Heimsieg gegen Meuselwitz, kamen gut 70 Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauer in die VIP-Lounge zur erstmaligen Live-Aufzeichnung unseres blau-gelben Podcasts vor Publikum. Dort erlebten alle Anwesenden die Lok-Legende Wolfram Löwe (WM-Teilnehmer 1974 & Olympia-Goldmedaillengewinner 1976), Uwe Trommer (spielte in der Bundesliga & der 3. Kreisklasse für den Ersten Deutschen Meister) sowie Robert Eckhold (Hauptsponsor und Präsidiumsmitglied).Am 14. Mai feiert der frühere Flügelflitzer Löwe seinen 80. Geburtstag. Anzumerken ist ihm dieses Alter kaum, denn die Anekdoten und Geschichten sprudelten nur so aus ihm heraus. Zudem outete er sich als Fan des Rekordspielers der Neuzeit Djamal Ziane. Auch die beiden weiteren Gäste sorgten für einen wunderbar informativen und unterhaltsamen Abend. Zum großen Finale feierten die Moderatoren Thomas Franzky und Marko Hofmann ihr Debüt als Auktionatoren. Drei Versteigerungen zugunsten des FCL-Projekts 3. Liga sorgten für den würdigen Abschluss eines unvergesslichen Abends.Anregungen, Kritik und (vor allem) Lob zu LokCast könnt ihr gern jederzeit an diese E-Mail-Adresse richten: lokruf-radio@t-online.deSpenden an LokCast und Lokruf: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=U7AJWS2H6VTQ6

Der Deutsche Lehrkräftepreis. Heute Abend werden unter anderem vier Lehrkräfte aus Bayern mit dem Titel "Lehrkraft des Jahres" ausgezeichnet. Einer davon ist der Deutsch- und Lateinlehrer Michael Stierstorfer aus Schäftlarn. Bei ihm übersetzt man Die Tribute von Panem, zieht Vergleiche mit Percy Jackson und analysiert Stilmittel anhand von YouTubern wie Rezo. "Ich denke, um Schüler zu erreichen, muss man sich in deren Lage versetzen und Medien, Themen mit einzubeziehen, die denen gerade unter den Nägeln brennen.", sagt Stierstorfer.

Sowas hat es in der Schweiz noch nie gegeben: Das Bundesgericht hat die Wahl von Simon Stocker (SP) zum Schaffhauser Ständerat für ungültig erklärt. Der Grund: Stocker erfüllte am Wahltag nicht die Pflicht, seinen Wohnsitz im Kanton zu haben.Was heisst das genau? Wie wird der Lebensmittelpunkt eines Menschen im Jahr 2025 definiert? Wer darf jetzt Stockers Sitz haben? Und ist das alles noch zeitgemäss? Darüber diskutieren Larissa Rhyn, Fabian Renz und Philipp Loser in einer neuen Folge des «Politbüro».Und zum Schluss: Gegenwärtig findet eine Umfrage zum «Politbüro» statt, bei der alle Hörerinnen und Hörer sehr gern mitmachen dürfen.

Retro ist überall. Alles mögliche bekommt das Retro Label mehr oder weniger passend aufgesetzt. Super Mario? Retro! Playstation 2? Retro! Pixel Optik? Sowas von Retro! Sogar der 86Bit Podcast beschreibt sich selbst als Retro und so manch einer würde sogar unsere Podcaster als Retro bezeichnen. Aber was bedeutet das eigentlich alles? Ist der Begriff eigentlich geeignet für all diese Anwendungen oder brauchen wir nicht doch lieber neue Ausdrücke? In dieser doch sehr besonderen Folge, versuchen sich Dennsen und Matthias dem Begriff anzunähern, seine Grenzen zu finden und vielleicht schon hier und da bessere Bezeichnungen zu finden. Hört rein und findet heraus was es mit Hard-Retro und Grundsteingaming auf sich hat und vielleicht kommt ihr auf das eine Wort das sogar noch besser ausdrückt: Was ist eigentlich Retro?

In den vergangenen Jahren habe ich immer wieder festgestellt, dass Teammitglieder nicht richtig glücklich sind in der Praxis und den Sinn in der Arbeit nicht sehen.

Hoffen, dass nicht zu viel los ist, keine unangenehmen Patienten kommen, keine unangenehmen Vorkommnisse entstehen und dann gehen wir nach Hause und am Ende des Monats ist unser Geld da.

Ihre Aufgabe als Führungskraft ist es den Sinn und Zweck der Arbeit nochmal klar zu machen! Stellen Sie in der nächsten Teamsitzung doch mal die Frage: Wofür sind wir hier?

Gesprächsführung: Die Kunst der ersten Ansprache Du kennst das sicherlich – du stehst auf einem Event und weißt nicht genau, wie du das erste Gespräch beginnen sollst. Hier sind ein paar Tipps: Stelle dir vor, du triffst einen alten Freund. Ein einfaches „Hallo, ich bin Tom. Was hat dich heute hierhergeführt?“ kann Wunder wirken. Small Talk ist der Eisbrecher. Frag nach, hör aktiv zu und zeige echtes Interesse. Die Leute merken, wenn du authentisch bist und dich wirklich für sie interessierst. Und nicht vergessen: Deine Körpersprache spricht Bände. Ein offenes Lächeln und Augenkontakt können das Eis schneller brechen, als du denkst. Effektive Gesprächsführung So, nun hast du das Gespräch gestartet, aber wie führst du es weiter? Hier kommt das aktive Zuhören ins Spiel. Anstatt nur darauf zu warten, selbst zu sprechen, konzentriere dich wirklich darauf, was dein Gegenüber sagt. Stelle gezielte Fragen, die das Gespräch vertiefen. Zum Beispiel Fragen, welche ich auch in meinen Interviews öfter verwende. Sowas wie: „Erzähl mir mehr darüber.“ oder „Wie bist du dazu gekommen?“ Solche Fragen zeigen, dass du wirklich zuhörst und interessiert bist. Und ein kleiner Tipp: Teile auch etwas von dir, aber halte es kurz. Es geht darum, eine Balance zu finden und das Gespräch fließen zu lassen. Denn schließlich willst Du nicht nur die ganze Zeit von Dir reden, sondern sicherlich auch von erfolgreichen Leuten lernen. Letzteres geht übrigens auch sehr gut mit Hörbüchern – und da hab ich was für Dich:   Gesprächsführung: Visitenkarten und digitale Kontakte Visitenkarten sind nach wie vor ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Netzwerkens. Wenn du eine Visitenkarte überreichst, mach es mit beiden Händen und schaue die Person an. Es zeigt Respekt und Wertschätzung. Ebenso wichtig ist es, digitale Kontakte zu knüpfen. Nutze Plattformen wie LinkedIn, um dich direkt nach einem Event mit neuen Bekanntschaften zu vernetzen. Ein kurzer, persönlicher Hinweis in der Kontaktanfrage kann Wunder wirken, um in Erinnerung zu bleiben. Follow-up Strategien nach der Gesprächsführung Das Follow-up ist der Schlüssel zum Aufbau nachhaltiger Beziehungen. Innerhalb von 24 bis 48 Stunden nach dem Event solltest du eine kurze Nachricht senden, in der du dich bedankst und auf das Gespräch Bezug nimmst. Und damit ich weiß, was ich mit wem besprochen habe, gerade bei größeren Events, schreibe ich mir nach dem Gespräch auf die Visitenkarte des Gegenübers immer ein paar Stichpunkte. Denn dann fällt es mir leicht, ein persönliches Follow-up zu machen und nicht nur zu schreiben „war schön Dich bei xy kennengelernt zu haben.“ Denn besser kommt es, wenn man schreiben kann: „Hallo [Name], es war großartig, dich gestern auf dem Event zu treffen und über [Thema] zu sprechen. Ich freue mich, mit dir in Kontakt zu bleiben. Wie schaut es übrigens nächste Woche aus, da wäre ich bei dir in der Nähe. Kaffee?“ Diese kleine Geste zeigt, dass du die Person wertschätzt und Interesse an einer weiteren Beziehung hast. „So, das soll es für heute zum Thema erfolgreiches Netzwerken auch langsam gewesen sein. Ich hoffe, du konntest einige wichtige Informationen daraus für dich mitnehmen. Erinnere dich daran, dass echtes Interesse und Authentizität die Schlüssel zu nachhaltigen Beziehungen sind, ok?

Deutschland hofft auch ein Sommermärchen - beim Fußball und möglichst auch bei der Wirtschaft. Doch Wirtschaftsforscher sehen kaum Impulse durch die EM. “Ich glaube nicht, dass es jemals einen großen wirtschaftlichen Effekt für irgendein Land gehabt hat. Sowas ist etwas Emotionales vorübergehend, aber auch nur, wenn das eigene Land lange im Turnier ist”, sagt der Kapitalmarktexperte Oliver Roth (Oddo BHF). Und wie sieht es mit Fußball-Aktien aus? Alle Details im Interview von Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://inside-wirtschaft.de

Cancel Culture: Kann man sowas heute noch sagen?Eine Predigt mit Tobias Teichen aus der Serie ''Humility Month''. Unsere Welt verändert sich unglaublich schnell. Heute sind einige Dinge normal, die vor einigen Jahren noch undenkbar erschienen. Doch sind diese Dinge und die geistlichen Einflüsse dahinter wirklich neu? Was hat das Volk Gottes dazu gebracht sich von Gott abzuwenden und Kompromisse einzugehen, die in der Anbetung anderer Götter endeten? Und was hat das mit den Themen des aktuellen Zeitgeists zu tun? Gemeinsam schauen wir uns die geistliche Dimension an, entdecken die Kraft des Evangeliums und die Schönheit von hingegebener Nachfolge und entlarven so die Strategie des Feindes.Weitere Informationen findest du hier: ICF MünchenDas Smallgroupprogramm zu diesem Podcast findest du hier.

Worthaus 11 – Tübingen: 30. Mai 2023 von Andreas Malessa.

Felix traut seinen Augen nicht. Rechts neben ihm auf dem Sofa sitzt, frisch geduscht und neu gescheitelt: Bruder Toni. Und links? Da sitzt kerzengerade und topfit, im Real-Heimtrikot von 2022 und mit verschmitztem Lächeln: Opa Kroos. LUP-PEN's coming home, Leute! Sowas hat es hier noch nicht gegeben. Denn Opa und die Boys sitzen gemeinsam im Zimmer 8 vom - "Wie heißt der Bumms?" - Ritz Charlton in Berlin. Und es ist richtig muckelig gemütlich. Morgen geht es gegen FC Union Berlin, heute geht um Weltfußballer im Rückwärtsgang, um die familiäre Herkunft des Mittagsschläfchens, um Lieblingsbands und Schalkespiele auf VHS zum Einschlafen. Zwischendurch stretched sich Opa ein bisschen, Tante Britta fragt sich andächtig, ob das Frühstück morgen wohl inklusive ist, draußen prasselt der Dezemberregen, drinnen riecht es nach Döner und Pommes... Was für ein schönes Familien-Zusammenkommen! Fast wie Weihnachten... Und am Ende räumt Opa noch leise die Minibar leer. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?
