Bounty Hunters Messed Up Big Time — Wrong Guy Arrest Sparks Outrage

A tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis leaves 2 children dead and 17 injured. PBD and the Home Team discuss the suspect's background, the role of ideology, mental health, and disturbing trends in school shootings.

What if your leadership skills were truly borderless? Could you step into any culture, any team, anywhere in the world—and still thrive? That's the challenge and opportunity of developing a Global Citizen mindset, one of the most crucial traits for leaders today. In today's Leadership Spark, I share why the Global Citizen mindset is a non-negotiable skill for modern leaders. I tell the story of a remarkable CEO who defied cultural limitations in Morocco, built her career across multiple countries, and earned the nickname “Water Lady” for brokering a major deal between Saudi Arabia and the U.S. We explore how leading in different cultures teaches unique lessons—like patience in Japan or entrepreneurship in the U.S.—and why cultural blind spots, such as Disney's failed “Euro Disney” launch, can sink even the strongest brands. You can't lead a world-sized organization without a world-sized mindset. Check out what it means to build this mindset in this episode.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

When a subscriber opens your box, do they instantly know what to do with what's inside? If the answer is “maybe” or “I'm not sure,” that's a problem. Because when your box isn't consumable, you're leaving money – and retention – on the table. In this Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm breaking down what it really means to create a consumable subscription box and why it matters so much for retention. Plus, I'll share five practical ways you can make your box easier to use, more engaging, and more shareable. What Does “Consumable” Really Mean? When I say your box should be consumable, I don't necessarily mean edible or disposable. Consumable means your box invites action. Subscribers know exactly what to do with what's inside. They can use it, style it, or enjoy it right away. If it's a craft box, can they see what the finished product should look like? If it's a self-care box, do they know how to use the items included? If it's a lifestyle box, can they imagine where the item fits into their daily life? Without those cues, subscribers are left guessing—and unused items quickly become clutter. Why Consumability Matters Making your box consumable isn't just a nice idea. It's a proven retention tool that:  Increases retention.When subscribers use what's in your box, they don't want to lose that experience by canceling. Builds momentum.Engagement with this month's box creates anticipation for the next one. Sparks word-of-mouth.People love to share what they're using – and loving. Reduces “too much stuff” churn.Boxes don't feel like clutter when everything inside is being used and enjoyed. 5 Ways to Make Your Box More Consumable Make sure your subscription box gets used, not stuck on a shelf by:  Including a visual outcome.Show the finished project, styled look, or end result—whether in your insert, your group, or on social media. Offering a simple, actionable insert.A “Start Here” card or checklist keeps subscribers from feeling lost. Tying each item to a moment.Suggest when or how to use it: “Style this for your next brunch date” or “Keep this at your desk for a mid-day boost.” Removing friction.Label what needs labeling and explain anything that might cause confusion. Being the influencer.Don't just curate. Model the experience. Show up using your own products on social media, in your group, or in emails. Before you send out your next box, run it through this quick audit: If I gave this to a stranger, would they know what to do with it? Can my subscriber use at least 70% of this box within 7 days? Have I clearly shown or explained how to use each item? Have I included visual or verbal cues that invite action? Have I modeled the experience myself in photos, videos, or inserts? If you can't answer “yes” to at least four of those questions, you have an opportunity to level up before shipping day. A consumable box is a retention strategy. If subscribers use the items in your box, they'll want more. If they don't, they'll forget it. Audit your next box by asking yourself these five questions and watch how much more your subscribers engage. Because the more they consume your box, the longer they'll stick around.

Bad Bunny has taken over Puerto Rico this summer with a residency that's become the hottest ticket on the island. His sold-out No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí series at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico runs every weekend until September 14, attracting fans and brands alike. Official sources like Adweek say the residency is generating a huge economic boost—upwards of $200 million—through curated vacation packages and sold-out hotels across the island. The events have drawn an array of activations from brands, including Ritz, which created a limited-edition cracker box with Bad Bunny-themed artwork, and even set up photo booths and merch giveaways for fans. Method also got creative, reaching listeners in unexpected high-traffic spots at the venue like the restrooms.Media attention has been intense, with Bad Bunny telling Today's Willie Geist in a new interview that this homecoming series has been the best experience of his life.

Released in January, it's already been called a musical love letter to Puerto Rico by stations like 99.5 JAMZ. The 17-track record is full of guest appearances from prominent Puerto Rican artists and explores themes of nostalgia, heartbreak, and self-reflection. Bad Bunny explained in interviews that this album is his most personal yet, and emphasized his goal to share the sounds and stories of his island with the world. The single “El Clúb,” which draws from both EDM and the traditional Puerto Rican genre plena, has become a fan favorite, and “Pitorro De Coco” has also proved to be a hit.2025 is shaping up to be a blockbuster year for Bad Bunny outside music too. He's starring in Darren Aronofsky's new film, Caught Stealing, set to premiere this week alongside stars like Zoë Kravitz and Austin Butler.

Oklahoma's education chief Ryan Walters has rolled out a new policy requiring teacher applicants from California and New York to pass a 50-question “America-first” exam developed by PragerU before they can teach in the state.Supporters say the test protects classrooms from “woke indoctrination,” while critics—including education groups and legal experts—argue it's unconstitutional, worsens teacher shortages, and functions as a partisan loyalty test.

The way we manage people today is built on ideas from over 100 years ago—ideas designed for factory floors, not modern workplaces. Management was originally created to enforce control, standardize behavior, and ensure compliance. Engagement, empowerment, and innovation? None of those were part of the equation. And yet, many organizations still operate with that outdated playbook, whether they admit it or not. In today's Leadership Spark, I break down how the roots of management are still shaping the way we lead today, and why that must change. From the rigid philosophies of Frederick Taylor and Henry Fayol to the mindless “yes sir” culture revealed in David Marquet's story as a submarine captain, we explore the dangers of blind obedience, outdated control models, and transactional leadership. You'll also hear how even the words we use, such as manager, employee, and work still reflect an antiquated, dehumanizing view of the workplace. Things are changing, and if you want to lead the future, better start rejecting the “slave driver and cog” model now and build cultures based on trust, empowerment, and shared responsibility. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Pennsylvania's Attorney General is planning a new statewide program to promote treatment for persons with mental illness who commit minor crimes. Defense spending, investment in artificial intelligence and fossil fuels will support Pennsylvania’s economic future, according to three Republican lawmakers who visited the Midstate this week. President Donald Trump says he wants to get rid of voting by mail and voting machines. Some of Pennsylvania’s congressional Republicans say they like the idea, but election rules are set by states, not the president. The Dauphin County General Authority voted Wednesday to accept a proposal for a Dauphin County golf course to be sold and turned into a data center. A bill introduced by Allegheny County state Rep. Emily Kinkead would use $10 million from the state's General Fund to establish the proposed Landslide and Sinkhole Insurance Program.
