Podcasts about Stability

Steve and his guest, Scottish political economist William Thomson, use the fight over Scotland's independence to dissect how class power hides inside “neutral” economic rules. Will, founder of SCOTONOMICS, talks about his journey from neoclassical training to a heterodox, political-economy perspective grounded in MMT, ecological economics, and class analysis. He recently wrote a paper (with friend-of-the-podcast Dirk Ehnts) showing how the Scottish government's plan to copy the EU's Stability and Growth Pact and delay its own currency would lock an “independent” Scotland into permanent austerity and dependence on markets and foreign owners. Will explains that more foreign direct investment, supply-side reforms, and 3% deficit caps aren't “responsible” policy – they are mechanisms to protect external and domestic elites at the expense of workers and communities. Steve and Will stress that MMT is just a lens without an explicit socialist or working-class political economy. The same monetary tools can be used for empire, war, and repression. They argue for an independence project built on monetary sovereignty, full employment, ecological limits, and economic resilience... not on appeasing markets and Brussels. William Thompson is a Scottish political economist and founder of SCOTONOMICS. He worked for almost a decade in the financial services sector in London. He has an MSc in the Green Economy and MEcon in the Economics of Sustainability. Based in Dunblane, Will writes regular blog posts and articles on economics in various publications including The National newspaper in Scotland and the Scottish Left Review.

"Leadership is not something you do it's something that happens through who you are."   True strength in leadership begins at home. Families built on trust, communication, and that face the emotions beneath the surface, create a foundation far more powerful than any set of numbers on a spreadsheet. Stability, purpose, and resilience come from the invisible yet tangible forces of love, compassion, and loyalty. These shape how people show up in life and business.  René Sonneveld explains how these principles guided him through extraordinary chapters: global career pivots, deep personal loss, and the rediscovery of love. René shows why family governance fails without emotional governance, why "invisible capital" determines longevity, and why the most important asset a leader brings into any room is who they are. His insights tie into the message that family alignment wins over financial success. That's the true measure of legacy.  René is a father of five and a trusted coach to enterprise families worldwide. From corporate boardrooms to deeply human crossroads, René helps families protect unity, purpose, and generational strength.  Expert action steps:  Prioritize emotional health and invisible capital—not just financial metrics.  Lead from identity and character rather than roles or authority.  Protect your reputation intentionally—every decision compounds across generations.  Learn more & connect:  www.renesonneveld.com  Book: The Elephant in the Family Room: Managing the Complexities of Legacy Businesses https://a.co/d/fXOp3jc  Look for René's upcoming book: Invisible Capital  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level. 

In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley sits down with Siddharth Dahiya, Global Head of Emerging Market Debt at Aberdeen Investments, to unpack one of the most dynamic and evolving areas of institutional fixed income—emerging market debt (EMD). With decades of experience in global markets and deep roots in insurance investing, Siddharth provides a clear and comprehensive breakdown of the EMD universe—from hard currency sovereigns and corporates to local currency bonds and frontier markets.   The discussion covers the structural advantages of EMD, including improving fundamentals, increasing credit rating upgrades, and attractive spreads versus similarly rated developed market debt. Siddharth also dives into how private credit within emerging markets is gaining traction with insurance portfolios, offering enhanced yields and structural protections. For insurance investors seeking diversification, real yield, and capital efficiency, this episode offers actionable insights into a sector that's once again demanding attention.   Whether you're seeking a defensive allocation or exploring yield-enhancing strategies, Siddharth shares why now may be the right time to give EMD a second look.

What does balance look like? It may be eating all your vegetables first and then treating yourself to a cookie. Or, it can look like taking a five minute break after playing outside for a while. Stability comes in many forms; let's find it to keep ourselves happy and healthy.

Jay Allen interviews Todd Conklin about his new book, The Stability Trap, exploring why even safe, stable organizations can fail. They discuss the "drive to zero," complacency, pressures on middle management, wearables and data, and lessons from aviation and the pandemic. The episode also covers how AI was used to reorganize the book's ideas and help craft its ending, and offers practical reframes: treat safety as a capacity, see workers as system monitors, and retool systems to match capacity with risk.

Learn how Halter Technical builds pro-grade headphones and software designed for people who create content, not consume it. Marc Aflalo talks with founder Doc Justice about the origin of the company, why film and TV audio teams needed better tools, and how the WildTrax 2026 update expands what production sound mixers, podcasters, and studios can do. Doc Justice explains how his background as a hip hop DJ and sound mixer on unscripted TV led to creating Halter Technical. Directors and producers kept asking for headphones that didn't exist, so he built purpose-made tools for production teams who needed accurate dialogue monitoring, proper cable lengths, and hardware that fits real set workflows. The conversation shifts to WildTrax, Halter Technical's multi-track recording software that can handle up to 512 tracks. Doc describes why DAWs like Pro Tools didn't meet the syncing and metadata needs of production teams. WildTrax was designed to stay stable, sync to timecode, label files correctly, and generate reports that make post-production faster. Doc breaks down what's new in WildTrax 2026, including pro playback tools, integrated Tentacle Sync detection, MIDI timecode, quick notes, global monitoring, and new licensing. Users can now choose monthly, annual, or lifetime licenses, and the software works with any existing hardware setup.

In Round 97 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, service transition comes in many forms. It might be opportunity, injury, burnout, new leadership, layoffs, or a change you didn't see coming. Military veterans, police officers, firefighters, EMS professionals, and law enforcement personnel often feel prepared for chaos on duty, yet struggle when transition arrives without warning. The real test isn't simply leaving service. It's building the ability to adapt when stability disappears. That's what this episode confronts head on. What happens when your future knocks and you no longer get time to prepare, you only get time to respond?Transition always carries pressure, but each phase requires a different strategy. These Tactical Transition Tips challenge a dangerous belief found across military and first responder careers. Time isn't guaranteed. Rank doesn't shield you. Stability isn't promised. The closer you get to transition, the more crucial readiness becomes. The mission is simple: live fully now, while building resilience for whatever comes next.This week's transition strategies focus on three groups:Close Range Group (transitioning immediately to one year out): Cut the Emotional Attachment NowIf something owns your emotions, it owns your choices; begin detachment training immediately to prevent hesitation from sabotaging your momentum.Medium Range Group (transitioning in five or so years): Train Your ExitUse this window to make mistakes when the stakes are low, test ideas, adjust leadership styles, and treat failure as scouting information.Long Range Group (transitioning in a decade or more): Always Be Ready to Walk in 30 SecondsBuild financial clarity, physical readiness, and emotional adaptability so you can pivot when life demands it instead of when you feel ready.Military transition, veteran transition, law enforcement transition, and life after service don't begin on a calendar date. They begin the moment you decide to stay ready.Because readiness isn't a luxury. It's a responsibility.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

When we think about goals and planning, most of us picture big dreams, buying a house, raising a family, finding stability, choosing a career, or one day reaching retirement. But for today's young light industrial workforce, many of those ideas feel far away, maybe even impossible. And honestly, it's not their fault. The world changed fast, faster than the rulebook was updated.  But here's the truth, or my belief anyway, is that goals and planning matter more now than ever. Especially in the warehouse environment, where opportunities are everywhere, pathways are wide open, and advancement is 100% achievable for anyone willing to invest in themselves.  Today, I want to talk about why planning matters, why so many young workers struggle with goal-setting, and how building a personal roadmap, both in career and finances, can set someone up for long-term success. We'll also talk about one of my favorite and the simplest ways to start building savings, the 52-Week Savings Chart. It's easy, and honestly kind of fun! In warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, and production, we often focus on the daily tasks, get the product in, put it away, pick or select the orders, load the trucks, do it accurately, and above all do it safely.  It's fast-paced. It's physical. It's repetitive. And because of that, it's incredibly easy for young workers to fall into the mindset of I'm just here for today. But here's the reality, warehouse jobs lead to careers. Careers lead to stability. Stability leads to retirement. You can't get to retirement if you don't know where you're going though.  A 19-year-old forklift operator isn't necessarily thinking about retirement. But imagine if they did? Imagine if they knew that by choosing the right industry, sticking with the right employer, and building the right habits, they could retire comfortably at 55 or 60 with a strong 401k, or enough savings to enjoy life.  I sometimes feel too many young people think of work as what I am doing today, instead of what I am building for tomorrow. And I get it, it's hard. And I think it's harder than it was just 15 years ago. Let's be honest, today's workforce is dealing with challenges older generations didn't face at the same time in life. Definitely a higher cost of living, more job instability, and I don't want to talk about the gig work out there. And there’s much less long-term planning in schools, faster moving workplaces, and a cultural shift toward right now instead of long-term. Add to that the fact that so many associates weren't taught how to budget, how to plan, and especially how to set career goals. I was so fortunate to have family and mentors in the industry that taught me to work for the future, not just the present. But retirement can feel so far away it doesn't even feel real. Promotions feel random. And saving feels impossible.  This is where employers, supervisors, and experienced warehousemen should step in and teach the why and the how, and we as associates should listen and self educate a bit on those finances.  You may have heard me say so many times that a job pays the bills. A career builds a life.  In the warehouse world, workers can start as general laborers, lumpers, pallet builders, sanitation, pickers, unloaders, roles that don't require experience, just effort. From there, they can move into Forklift operation, Order selection, Inventory control, Quality Control, Dispatch, Lead roles, Supervisory roles, Management roles, Operations, Transportation, Safety, Training, and global logistics like ocean shipping, Import Export. And those are just a few of my favorites! The industry is full of opportunity and movement. But you only move when you know what direction you want to go.  Each one of us should ask ourselves questions like these at least every quarter. Where do I want to be in 3 years? What skills do I need to get there? What industry do I want to grow in, e-commerce, retail distribution, cold storage, manufacturing, production, and my personal favorite, an industry that worked out great for me and my family, food service distribution! Let’s list one more, I jotted down like 20 questions! I'm going with this one. What certifications or equipment experience can I add to my résumé this year? Those are career questions, not job questions.  And when a young worker understands that advancement is planned, not accidental, they start to see their daily tasks differently. They start to realize that every pallet they pick, every shift they complete, and every decision they make is building toward something.  Career growth isn't just about promotions, it's also about stability. Stability, an odd but important word. Meriam Webster tells us that stability is the quality, state, or degree of being stable, such as, the strength to stand or endure. I've always felt savings and planning could help with stability.   A worker who saves even a little, handles emergencies better, can take a risk on a better job, can move into a higher-paying industry, can invest in certifications or training and can build towards buying a car, a home, or building for that retirement. Saving isn't about being rich, it’s about being ready.  I think a lot of us struggle with saving because we think it requires big numbers. We think savings has to start at $100 a week, or $50 a week. But saving can actually start small. Consistency beats amount.  I've always loved 52-Week Savings Challenge.  This method is simple. You save the same amount of dollars as the week number. Week 1 save $1, Week 2 save $2, Week 3 $3 and so on to week 52 where we'll stash $52. There's no stress. No budgeting skills needed. No complicated rules. By the end of the year, we've saved $1,378. And that’s before any interest or other investments. That's the power of consistency. It teaches us that money can add up fast, small steps matter, and that habits matter, planning matters. Anyone can save, no matter their wage.  Imagine a young 18-year-old doing this each year. By age 25? They've saved nearly $10,000, not including interest. By age 30? Almost $17,000. And by age 35? They're in a completely different financial world than their peers.    When we as young warehouse persons learn this concept the entire world opens up. We begin to see that the difference between struggle and stability isn't luck… it's planning. We learn that goals matter. That careers don't happen by accident. That saving isn't really optional. That retirement isn't a fantasy, it's the destination. And most importantly, we learn that we're in control. Our future isn't determined by a starting point. It’s determined by our direction.  You've heard me say so many times that warehouse work can take you anywhere. But it can't take you there if you don't know where you want to go. Career success is built on two pillars. A plan, and the discipline to follow it. Saving money builds discipline. Career planning builds direction. And together, they build a life.  I don't think today's young workers are lost. I feel they're just uninformed. They're capable, hardworking, loyal, and smart, they just haven't been taught and helped with the long-term lesson that your goal isn't today. Your goal is retirement. Every shift, every dollar saved, every skill learned, every certification earned, every good decision, even every safety moment, moves us closer to that future.  Of course we have many more financial obligations, I don't want to make any of this sound easy because it’s not. But Planning will help us with our day to day bills, raising our family, and making all those major purchases, and help us accomplish all our life goals.  So! With us approaching or wrapping up the 4th quarter of 2025, I've started thinking of my 2026 goals whereas from there I can develop my plan for the year.  Thanks for checking in today. During break today, speak to a friend about your plans. And get them started on there’s. It's great to have an accountability partner! Y'all be safe out there this week.

For Episode #191 of the PricePlow Podcast, we explore one of the most interesting and scientifically-rigorous appetite control stories we’ve encountered on the podcast yet. Mike sits down with Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, and Dr. Edward Walker, the lead scientist behind the development of Amarasate®, the natural hop extract at the heart of Calocurb’s formula. This isn’t your typical supplement origin story. Instead of a garage startup or bodybuilding brand, Calocurb emerged from a $20 million New Zealand government research grant specifically designed to develop a plant-based obesity treatment. Calocurb: From New Zealand Science to Commercial Reality Dr. Walker takes us through the fascinating scientific journey that began in 2009, when the New Zealand government funded research to find better alternatives to weight loss drugs. His team screened over 1,000 plant compounds, searching for those that could trigger the release of appetite-suppressing hormones. After years of research, including two years spent collecting intestinal biopsies from hospital patients, they identified a specific New Zealand hop variety that produces remarkable results. The clinical data shows Amarasate® increases GLP-1 and CCK levels sixfold over baseline, reduces hunger by 30%, decreases cravings by 40%, and cuts caloric intake by 18%. Sarah Kennedy licensed the technology in 2017 and launched Calocurb in 2018, years before the GLP-1 injectable phenomenon made appetite control a household topic. Today, Calocurb is positioned as a natural GLP-1 activator that works three ways: as a standalone appetite suppressant, as an adjunct to reduce injectable dosages and side effects, and critically, as post-cycle therapy to prevent the rebound weight gain that occurs when people stop taking GLP-1 drugs. With new clinical trial results expected from a 150-patient, six-month study, Calocurb represents a potent bridge between traditional supplements and pharmaceutical interventions in the weight management space. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/calocurb-191 Video: Calocurb: Natural GLP-1 Activation Through Bitter Hops Science https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c17t11gwlNc Detailed Show Notes: Sarah Kennedy and Dr. Edward Walker on Calocurb® and Amarasate® (0:00) – Introductions: A Different Kind of Supplement Story (1:00) – Dr. Walker’s Background: From Berry Compounds to Gut Science (3:00) – The New Zealand Government Grant: $20 Million to Solve Obesity (5:50) – How New Zealand Funds Primary Research (7:15) – The Government-to-Commercial Pathway (10:35) – The Pre-Ozempic Marketing Challenge (13:00) – The Timeline of GLP-1 Knowledge: 2009 vs. Today (15:45) – The “Bitter Brake” Theory: Location Matters (17:10) – Two Years in Hospital Waiting Rooms Collecting Biopsies (20:20) – Bitter Taste Receptors Throughout the Gut (22:30) – Why Plants and Humans Evolved This Way (24:15) – Why Bitter Detection in the Small Intestine?

Be Anxious for Nothing: A Call to Surrender, Peace, and TrustIn this deeply moving service, we journey through intimate worship and a timely word from God that speaks straight to the restless, overwhelmed heart. From the opening declaration—“Way Maker, Miracle Worker”—to the closing prayer of blessing and covering, this service invites you to slow down, breathe, and make room again for Jesus, the One who truly is the answer to it all.God's voice breaks through the worship with clarity and compassion:Stop trying to hold everything together.Stop manipulating outcomes.Stop doing life in your own strength.Come back into rest.Come back into surrender.Drawing from Philippians 4 and Matthew 4, this message reminds us that peace is not found in control, performance, or striving… but in trust. True life is found in the Word of God. Stability is found in anchoring your thoughts in what is true, pure, and admirable. And fulfillment is found in placing Jesus at the center—above every priority, desire, and fear.This episode closes with a powerful prayer of rededication, covering, and blessing:fresh strength,fresh opportunities,fresh Word,open doors,and divine favor for the week ahead.Whether you're listening at home, at work, or on the go, prepare to be drawn back into the presence of God—and into a peace that surpasses all understanding

2 Peter 3:14–18

Host Todd introduces his new book, The Stability Trap, and shares a sneak peek episode created with an AI-generated interview. The episode explores why organizations that appear safe can still experience accidents and how success itself can erode safety capacity. The discussion outlines the core ideas: safety as the presence of capacity, the three R's (redefine safety, reframe the worker, relearn investigation), and a five-stage practical blueprint for leaders, safety professionals, frontline workers, supervisors, and system integration. Short and practical, the episode is a teaser for the book and invites listeners to reflect on whether their organizations maintain the resilience, confidence, and systems needed to recover when things go wrong.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Daniel Crofoot from Cape Coral, FL. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 12:13-15 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys, and he judged Israel eight years. Then Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and was buried at Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites. — Judges 12:13-15 Abdon's leadership doesn't come with stories of war or dramatic miracles. Instead, Scripture records his family line and their prosperity—sons and grandsons riding seventy donkeys, a cultural sign of peace, wealth, and influence. For eight years, Israel experienced stability under his leadership. It may not read like an epic story, but in a book filled with chaos and conflict, Abdon's peaceful legacy shines as a rare blessing. We live in a restless world. We celebrate fame, power, and controversy more than faithfulness, humility, and stability. However, Abdon reminds us that a quiet life of faith can have a ripple effect that lasts for generations. His legacy wasn't built in the spotlight—it was built at home, among his family, and in the stability he provided his community. That's the kind of legacy we need today. Fathers who create safe homes. Leaders who model integrity. Believers who commit to their church and community with steady devotion. The impact of such faithfulness outlasts the drama of the moment—it builds generations of blessing. Don't chase the momentary spotlight. Build the kind of faithfulness that outlives you. Stability is a gift to your family and your community—and it's the kind of legacy God loves to multiply. ASK THIS: What kind of legacy am I building for my family and community? Do I value stability and faithfulness as much as God does? How can I invest in people, not just accomplishments, today? DO THIS: Take one step today to invest in stability—pray with your family, encourage someone younger in the faith, or strengthen your commitment to your local church. Faithful seeds planted now will bear fruit for generations. PRAY THIS: Father, help me build a legacy of faithfulness. Use my life not for fleeting applause, but to bring peace, stability, and blessing that ripple into the lives of others long after I'm gone. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Faithful Then / Faithful Now."

SHOW 11-13-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT BUNDESTAG COHESION AND  STABILITY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 1/2 Anatol Lieven discusses the war in Ukraine, noting the new Russian unit RubiKon hunting drone operators and the slow Russian advance on Pakovsk, aided by both innovation and old factors like fog. The conversation also covers Germany's military rearmament plans and the significant, rising influence of the populist right AFD party in German politics, which is strongly anti-immigrant and largely anti-rearmament. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 1/2 915-930 2/2 Anatol Lieven details UK Prime Minister Starmer's genuine political troubles concerning domestic policy drift and significant potential losses in upcoming regional elections. Starmer maintains prestige supporting Ukraine, though funding remains a question. A back channel to Moscow has been opened by Jonathan Powell to discuss peace, dropping the prior insistence on a ceasefire, indicating a shift in London. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 2/2 930-945 Chris Riegel, CEO of SCALA.com, states that Chinese claims of matching Nvidia's high-end chip success are largely propaganda, though China mandates domestic chip use. The US holds the AI "pole position." AI is a genuine profit driver, worth trillions to GDP, with material workforce impact expected by 2026. Guest: Chris Riegel 945-1000 Mary Anastasia O'grady reports on the assassination of Mayor Carlos Monzo in Michoacán, killed after leaving President Sheinbaum's Morena party and aggressively confronting cartels and their agricultural extortion. Sheinbaum has cooperated smartly with the US, allowing surveillance flights, and hired credible security chief García Haruch. The main challenge is whether Sheinbaum has the political will to confront the cartels, especially given the widespread belief in Morena's complicity. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Cliff May discusses severe Christian persecution in Nigeria, which President Tinubu claims guarantees religious liberty. Attacks are carried out by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and powerful Fulani militias. May suggests jihadism acts as theological justification for Fulani nomadic herders to seize land from Christian farmers. The US could provide assistance, training, and advice to the Nigerian military to protect communities. Guest: Cliff May. 1015-1030 Sadanand Dhume examines the shift in US foreign policy, where President Trump now favors Pakistan and its military chief, General Munir. This followed intense combat between India and Pakistan after a horrific terrorist attack. When the US mediated a ceasefire, Trump took credit, which embarrassed Indian Prime Minister Modi. Pakistan cleverly thanked Trump and nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize, securing his favor over India. India now needs a trade deal. Guest: Sadanand Dhume. 1030-1045 Professor Matthew Graham discusses the most powerful black hole flare ever recorded, which shone like 10 trillion suns from an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Material falling into the supermassive black hole forms an accretion disc, releasing intense radiation. This 10-billion-year-old event was detected using computer cameras. Graham explains that these black holes are ancient "seeds" of galaxies, acting as cosmic vacuum cleaners, such as when a large star gets shredded. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham. 1/2 1045-1100 Professor Matthew Graham details his needs for future black hole research, prioritizing a network of space telescopes with large fields of view, like the Roman space telescope, for perpetual, multi-wavelength monitoring of the sky. This "audit of the cosmos" will improve detection speed and timing. Graham encourages students to pursue black hole work, noting it is a vibrant growth area, viewing black holes as the enduring future product of the universe. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham.2/2 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Veronique de Rugy discusses the cost of living, critiquing the administration's claims that Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper, citing the use of shrinkflation and item removal. She criticizes the proposal to send $2,000 checks, noting this Keynesian approach boosts demand, which, without increased supply, risks raising prices further. De Rugy advocates for deregulation and the elimination of tariffs (which she confirms are a tax) as the necessary supply-side solution to the affordability crisis. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. 1115-1130 Conrad Black assesses Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's new budget as anti-climactic, failing to deliver promised growth or definitive decisions on controversial policies like pipelines. However, the budget was sensible and conciliatory, avoiding conflict with the opposition, Washington, and Alberta. Carney, adopting a diplomatic style akin to a central banker, did offer serious encouragements to alleviate the housing shortage. Guest: Conrad Black. 1130-1145 Scott Winship analyzes 50 years of US median earnings, preferring the MACPI to accurately adjust for cost of living. He finds that the middle class is better off: women's earnings are up 120%, and men's are up 40–50%. Winship disputes populist theories that income inequality or the China shock are the main villains, noting that the worst period for young men was 1973–1989, predating those factors. Guest: Scott Winship.1/2 1145-1200 Scott Winship investigates the mystery of the decline in young men's earnings between 1973 and 1989. He concludes this period was not caused by accelerated immigration or women entering the workforce, as men's earnings continued to rise. The actual explanation is the unique economic combination of stagflation—high unemployment and very high inflation—that occurred until the early 1980s recession. This severe economic dynamic has not been matched since 1989. Guest: Scott Winship. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 The arrival of the US carrier Gerald Ford signals an escalating commitment to possible military solutions against Maduro's regime in Venezuela. Maduro has ordered a Cuban-style guerrilla defense, but analysts worry more about "anarchization"—wreaking havoc—if he falls. Removing Maduro and lifting sanctions could lead to necessary refinancing of Venezuela's $170 billion debt. Guest: Evan Ellis. 1/4 1215-1230 Peru faces severe political instability, evidenced by six presidents in two years and detentions for corruption. Transitional leader José Heresi is tackling rising organized crime, including a 36% jump in homicides, through a state of emergency. Meanwhile, China maintains deep-seated influence, controlling key sectors like mining, oil, and the deep-water port of Chancay. Guest: Evan Ellis.2/4 1230-1245 Honduras is holding a high-stakes, single-round election where the outcome could determine if the country returns to alignment with Taiwan or shifts to China. Election observers noted improper pressure and concerns about meddling by the ruling Libre Party. Separately, Argentina's economy under Milei is strengthening, backed by a significant US currency swap and political support. Guest: Evan Ellis. 3/4 1245-100 AM COP 30 is largely "political theater" with commitments insufficient to address climate change. Estimates suggest the crucial 1.5-degree global temperature increase will be reached by 2030. While there is increased international attention, funding remains inadequate; Brazil secured only $5.5 billion toward its $125 billion forest preservation goal. The plight of Amazonian indigenous peoples continues unaddressed. Guest: Evan Ellis.4/4 |

Discussion of al-Sharaa's White House Visit, Syrian Sanctions, and Domestic Stability Issues. Ahmad Sharawi discusses how al-Sharaa (formerly al-Jolani), the self-named president of Syria and former al-Qaeda leader, visited the White House seeking the repeal of Caesar sanctions. The administration hopes he can stabilize Syria, ignoring his history of massacres against minorities like the Alawites and Druze. Critics argue he must address internal stability and remove foreign fighters first, as he is being rewarded for actions already serving his self-interest, such as fighting ISIS and limiting Iran's influence.

US-China Ceasefire and Competition in Technology and Space. Jack Burnham (Foundation for Defense of Democracies research analyst) characterizes the Trump-Xi meeting as a necessary "truce" that allows both nations to gain stability and strengthen their positions before the next escalation. Regarding rare earths, China is now employing the US "playbook," setting up a licensing structure rather than a full trade cessation. He emphasizes that building a complete rare earth supply chain outside of China, especially refining capacity, may realistically take seven to ten years. In technology, Beijing is pushing for domestic self-sufficiency in AI infrastructure, partly driven by paranoia that imported chips may contain backdoors or vulnerabilities. Burnham also details China's commitment to militarizing space, including copying US reconnaissance capabilities and practicing anti-satellite operations like "dogfighting." 1917 PRINCETON IN PEKING

Do you ever feel like budgeting is impossible because your income changes from month to month? If you're self-employed, work on commission, or depend on tips, you're not alone. Living on a variable income can feel like riding a financial roller coaster—one month you're doing fine, and the next, you're wondering how to make ends meet.But the good news is that God's Word offers wisdom that applies even in seasons of financial uncertainty. Proverbs 21:5 reminds us:“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”No matter how steady—or unpredictable—your income is, a plan is essential.Build Your Budget on What You Know, Not What You HopeMany people make the mistake of budgeting around their best month. Wise stewardship means basing your plan on your lowest or average month, rather than your highest month.Start by reviewing your income over the past 6 to 12 months. Identify your lowest earning month, and use that as your “bare minimum” budget—what it takes to cover essentials like housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, and basic giving.For example, if your income ranges from $3,000 to $6,000, plan your budget around $3,000. When you earn more, that extra income becomes your margin—money you can use to pay down debt, save, or plan ahead for slower seasons.This approach protects you from overcommitting when income drops and helps you live within your means.Create an Income-Holding AccountWhen your income arrives irregularly, timing can be just as stressful as the amount. One simple solution is to use an income-holding account.Here's how it works:Deposit all income into one central account—your “holding tank.”Once a month, transfer your budgeted amount into your regular spending account.This method smooths out your cash flow, allowing you to “pay yourself” a steady income each month. Proverbs 27:23 gives this timeless reminder:“Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds.”In today's world, that means knowing where your money is, where it's going, and when it's available.Also, if your income fluctuates, an emergency fund isn't optional—it's essential.Start by saving enough to cover one month's expenses, then aim for three to six months over time. Use “boom” months to grow your buffer before adding new spending. When slower seasons come, you'll be able to keep paying yourself consistently.Differentiate Between Fixed and Flexible ExpensesAnother key to managing a variable income is learning to distinguish between fixed and flexible expenses.Fixed expenses—like rent, insurance, and loan payments—stay the same.Flexible expenses—like dining out, entertainment, or travel—can adjust with your income.During lean months, trim flexible spending. When income increases, you can replenish your savings or increase your giving. Remember, self-control is one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23), and that includes how we handle our finances.One of the easiest ways to get off track is through “surprise” expenses that shouldn't be surprises—car repairs, insurance premiums, or property taxes.List all your irregular expenses for the year and divide each by twelve. Set that amount aside monthly in a sinking fund, so when those bills come, you're ready. No scrambling. No stress. Just peace that comes from faithful planning.Trust the Provider, Not the PaycheckEven when your income is unpredictable, God is not. Matthew 6 reminds us that our Heavenly Father knows what we need before we ask. He feeds the birds and clothes the flowers—and He will provide for His children.So whether your income changes weekly or seasonally, rest in this truth: stability isn't found in your paycheck—it's found in God's faithful provision.If you're ready to build a flexible, faith-filled budget, the FaithFi app can help.

The United States is facing a “crisis of legitimacy”, explained James Scaminaci III, PhD, an expert on fourth-generation psychological warfare. James earned his PhD from Stanford University, specializing in political sociology. I have done two previous interviews with him and wanted him to weigh in on current developments. He has a background as a former U.S. Naval intelligence officer, with specific expertise in the Soviet / Russian fleet. Additionally, James served as a senior civilian intelligence analyst at the European Command's Joint Analysis Center. I was honored to invite him back to discuss Fourth-Generation Warfare (4GW) and its influence on our current political struggles in the United States and worldwide. He referenced the work of sociologist and political scientist Martin Lipset, who served as chairman on his dissertation committee, “One, the government's effective, right? It performs well. It does its basic functions. It protects the people and gets the economy moving, etc. Everybody knows what that is, but then he said the second source of stability is the legitimacy of the political system.” James noted other essential factors as well, such as that individual values “are consistent with the values of the political system.” He discussed how the Christian Right currently sees the nation in a “spiritual warfare” scenario, thus exposing a conflict of cohesive values that threatens the legitimate services system. He noted that while this may not be a new phenomenon from a psychological perspective, we may be reaching an inflection point in the direction of destabilization. “The language changes, the means of communication have developed from the fax machine to memes on the internet, but it's still psychological warfare, and it's still getting in your mind and undermining the legitimacy of the United States government,” he said.

What do you do when competitors copy your ideas, wording, or services? In this episode, we share a practical mindset shift: ideas are cheap—execution is everything. We explore how delivery, team training, client experience, and reliability become the differentiators copycats can't replicate. We talk through stability as a strategy, resisting reactive changes, and doubling down on strengths. We close with concrete ways to serve deeper, not louder, so you lead for years—not minutes. Main topics: Copying vs. true execution Delivery as differentiation Stability as a strategy Serve deeper, not louder Training and systems moat Main takeaway: "Because people can copy what you offer. They can't copy who you are." People can copy your prices, your services, even your words—but not you. Your standards, training, reliability, and care are built day after day through consistent delivery. That's the moat no one sees on a webpage. When imitation shows up, don't get reactive—get excellent. Keep serving deeper, refining your systems, and showing up for clients. Consistency beats mimicry every time.

PREVIEW: The U.S.-Japan Alliance in the Pacific Guest: Grant Newsham Grant Newsham assesses the critical U.S.-Japan alliance in the Pacific as indispensable for regional stability. Japan relies on the U.S. military presence for defense protection, primarily against the threatening rise of China. Conversely, the U.S. needs Japan to maintain its own regional strength and capability. Furthermore, Japan is a top investor in the United States, supporting numerous well-paying jobs and emphasizing the depth of this multifaceted partnership. The alliance extends beyond defense to encompass significant economic interdependence, making the relationship essential for both nations' security and prosperity.
