From Fear to Friendship: The 30-Year Journey of an Interracial Women's Circle What does it really take for women across race, identity, and experience to move from awkward conversations to real friendship? In this episode, I talk with two people I deeply respect—Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Reel—about a women's circle I'm part of  that's been meeting for nearly 30 years. What started as a conference breakout session turned into something far more rare: a space where white women and women of color stayed in relationship through grief, anger, mistakes, growth, and joy. We talk about confidentiality and why it matters. About staying at the table when things get uncomfortable. About what happens when people don't feel alone anymore. And about the difference between talking about race and actually knowing people whose lives are shaped by it. This isn't theory. It's lived experience. And it's a reminder that real connection doesn't come from slogans or training slides—it comes from time, trust, and being willing to keep showing up. We share raw, transformative experiences that took us from initial fear and distrust to deep, meaningful friendships. The episode explores the group's origins, the critical role of confidentiality, and the hard truths they've confronted about race, privilege, and solidarity. You'll learn the challenges and rewards of having tough conversations about race and how these led to profound support and solidarity during life's toughest moments.   Timestamps & Key Segments: 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 01:10 Meet the Guests: Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Real 04:45 The Women's Circle: Origins and Purpose 12:38 Confidentiality and Trust Building 20:02 Personal Stories and Experiences 27:54 Challenges and Learnings in DEI 35:50 Standing Up and Women's Circle Support 36:57 Building Comfort and Social Connections 38:26 Shared Experiences and Mutual Support 41:33 Assumptions and Learning Moments 54:00 Starting and Sustaining a Circle 01:01:12 Final Thoughts and Contact Information Guest Bio:Julie O'Mara is coauthor of the free Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB): Standards for Organizations Around the world along with Alan Richter, PhD, and Nene Molefi.

After recently being triggered by a comment left on a social media post, the experience showed me how far I've come from that little girl within that was teased and bullied. It gave me the opportunity to show up for her, stand up for her, and it also gave me fuel to keep going. I hope this discussion does the same for you and your inner child.

In our internet, social media saturated society we seem to have lost an important practice of good communication, people skills. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we shared the 4 levels of communication and the power of body language as part of developing viable people skills that open doors of opportunity to empathize with others and share the hope of the gospel with them. We shared the insights of a highly respected financial educators who gave you some practical advice on how to manage your money in practical and God honoring ways. It used to be truth was truth was truth. No matter where you came from truth was unquestioned. But not today. We spoke to a Christian leader who says that today is determined by the individual and their own viewpoints and preferences. Our guest encouraged us stand up and be an advocate for God’s truth in our vacillating world. What will the life of believers be like in Eternity? Our guest took us to the scriptures to pull back the veil and give us a glimpse of the glory that is to come. He showed us how a clear understanding of the life to come can be an engine to motivate us to live godly lives on this side of Heaven. It may be a new year but many of the same challenges still face us. Join us for another demonstration on how to use the wisdom of God’s word to discern the truth from deception in the headlines of the week.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Generative AI models are marketed as the next revolution in workplace automation, but they ultimately rely on human labor — from the people labeling content and checking outputs, to the content creators and workers whose data are extracted to build the systems. As management and organizational leaders adopt AI across workplaces, the use of these systems raises questions about how companies are reshaping the quality of work, job security, and the value of  human labor. How are workers' lives impacted when AI is used to monitor performance, surveil output, or make intrusive management decisions? Will AI disrupt industries and business models? How can we make sure technology supports workers, rather than undermining them? About 'Understanding AI'In the fall of 2025, The New York Public Library and Data & Society collaborated to present “Understanding AI,” a four-part live event series exploring the social implications of artificial intelligence and its impacts on democracy, the environment, and human labor. Featuring key figures in the AI ethics field, these events took place at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL)in New York City as part of the library's7 Stories Up program, and are now available for all to watch.Revisit the series

US Admits Modi Snubbed Trump | India Is Proud of Modi for Standing Up | Germany, France Join Modi

In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles," host Chris Clarke looks into the contentious topic of a proposed AI data center in Imperial County, California. As the largest project of its kind proposed in the state, local residents, led by community advocates like Gilberto Manzanarez of Valle Imperial Resiste, express concerns over the establishment's potential environmental and social impacts. The discussion emphasizes the community's grassroots efforts to halt the project through public awareness and strategic mobilization against a backdrop of economic challenges in one of California's most underrepresented regions. The episode offers a first-hand account of the local opposition to the data center, with residents citing noise pollution, potential environmental degradation, and the betrayal of municipal promises regarding water and electricity resources. Gilberto Manzanarez shares insights on the movement he represents, explaining the importance of community-driven advocacy against powerful interests. The episode underscores ongoing battles for environmental justice and the struggle for local communities to safeguard their living conditions against speculative developments with uncertain long-term consequences. Key Takeaways: Gilberto Manzanarez and his organization, Valle Imperial Resiste, advocate for grassroots mobilization to oppose a proposed AI data center in Imperial County due to its potential negative impacts. Residents voiced concerns about noise pollution, diminished property values, and uncertain environmental repercussions during a contentious Imperial County Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission's decision to delay the project and set up workshops reflects local pushback and the effort to educate and engage the community more meaningfully in decision-making. The episode highlights broader issues surrounding data centers, including the socio-environmental considerations lacking in many current developmental plans, as seen through examples from other U.S. cities. A call for a moratorium on data center projects until comprehensive policies are in place signals a movement toward more cautious and community-focused development practices. Notable Quotes: “This is no exception. The LLC that's trying to put the project here was only established one year ago. It's a playbook that's been played out in the entire country.” “One of the things that I noticed, was that there was a lack of information that these organizations gathered, but that information never really made it out to the people.” “I come from a town called Calexico, California... I'm not putting my entire faith in electeds right now.” “We want a comprehensive policy revolving around data centers around the Imperial County.” Resources: Valle Imperial Resiste Instagram Valle Imperial Resiste Website GoFundMe Campaign for NIMBY Imperial Listeners are encouraged to tune into the full episode to grasp the complexities and emotional currents of this important local issue.Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I'm joined by the returning Michele Hansen, co-founder and CEO of Geocodio and author of Deploy Empathy, now out with a second edition. Michele brings deep experience as a former product manager turned founder, and has spent over a decade helping teams understand customers through rigorous, human-centred research. We explore what customer research looks like in an AI-accelerated world: where AI genuinely helps, where it falls short, and why talking to real people remains irreplaceable. Along the way, we dig into interviewing craft, curiosity, synthetic users, and some enduring myths that still undermine product discovery. Episode highlights: We cover a lot, including: Why customer interviews still matter in the age of AI - why large language models can accelerate research workflows but cannot replace the insight, judgement, and transformation that comes from engaging directly with customers. AI as a research intern, not a strategist - AI performs well in certain tasks - transcription, tagging, and basic analysis - but prioritisation, interpretation, and strategy must remain human responsibilities. The neuroscience of listening and curiosity - both interviewees and interviewers experience genuine pleasure when curiosity is satisfied, reframing interviews as a mutually rewarding process rather than a chore. What AI misses in real customer conversations - considering the "spiky", unexpected insights that emerge in interviews - and why these often get lost when teams rely too heavily on automated summaries. Synthetic users, digital twins, and their limits - breaking down different types of simulated users, where they can be useful, and why they depend on high-quality human research to be credible at all. The problem with the "faster horses" myth - dismantling the misattributed Henry Ford quote and exploring how it's often used to avoid engaging with customers rather than to encourage innovation. Research as a way to change teams, not just products - how involving teams directly in research builds shared understanding, alignment, and better decision-making across organisations. Why AI accelerates confusion without product clarity - AI only compounds impact when a clear product vision and customer understanding already exist - otherwise, teams simply move faster in the wrong direction.

In this powerful episode of The Unbroken Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Phillip Guison, Doctor of Chiropractic and owner of his own practice, to talk about a journey that took unexpected turns—and demanded relentless resilience. Phillip originally set his sights on becoming a pharmacist, but while working toward that goal, someone told him something that changed everything: "You'd be great at chiropractic." That simple statement planted a seed that ultimately redirected his entire career path. Phillip shares how he made the leap, trusted the process, and built a successful chiropractic practice rooted in helping others feel and move better. But his story doesn't stop there. Phillip opens up about his battle with stage 4 cancer, including the frightening and frustrating process of knowing something was wrong—and having to beg doctors to take him seriously. He walks us through how he finally got answers, what the diagnosis meant, and the physical and mental fight that followed as he pushed through treatment. When Phillip was eventually considered cancer-free, he didn't just return to "normal." Instead, he set a new, audacious goal: competing in a bodybuilding show. Not only did he do it—he did really well. Phillip shares what that experience meant to him, how it reshaped his mindset, and why he plans to continue competing in the future. This episode is about listening to your body, advocating for yourself, redefining limits, and choosing to keep pushing forward—no matter how heavy the setback. Phillip's story is raw, inspiring, and a perfect example of what it truly means to be Unbroken.

Send us a textEver wondered how to critique the nonprofit sector while leading an organization within it? Join Maria Rio for a conversation with Amber Hamilton, President and CEO of the Memphis Music Initiative, who went viral for saying what every nonprofit leader thinks but won't say out loud. Amber shares why humor became her weapon of choice; creating satirical videos that called out philanthropy's racist funding practices, absurd application processes, and performative accountability measures. She is simultaneously running a grant-making organization that proves it can all be done differently. She tackles the real price Black women pay for speaking truth to power, why somebody has to be willing to say "the emperor is wearing no clothes," and how telling the truth (even when it's uncomfortable) ultimately works in your favor.Because if one more data sheet or think piece was going to change philanthropy, it would've happened by now. Resources:Connect with Amber Hamilton on LinkedInMemphis Music Initiative YouTube Channel- where the viral satirical videos are hostedAmber Says The Things - Amber's speaking and coaching websiteMemphis Music Initiative WebsiteSupport the show Connect with the show: Watch the episode on YouTube; follow Maria Rio on LinkedIn for more conversations and resources.

What if real strength isn't about power or dominance, but about generosity, courage, and who you stand up for when no one's watching? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh continues his series on How to Be a Strong Person, focusing on two defining traits: giving more than you take and standing up for the little guy.

Through personal stories and leadership lessons, he shares how true strength shows up in everyday actions, from supporting others to using influence responsibly. The episode closes with reflections on leadership, honor, and becoming the kind of person who makes the world better by example, along with a holiday message and a preview of what's next in the series.

Sports journalist and author of Dear Dana: That Time I Went Crazy and Wrote All 580 of My Facebook Friends a Handwritten Letter and You Cannot Mess This Up: A True Story That Never Happened, Amy Weinland Daughters, shares the life lessons she learned from her American mom, Sue: the danger of hiding behind a "perfect" façade, the trap of letting others define who you are, and the inspiring fact that your current chapter isn't your whole story — because the best may still lie ahead. She also speaks about being guided by love, embracing a "why not?" mindset, and being open-minded. Amy also reflects on the cathartic experience of writing her memoir, in which she gets to witness three days of her childhood as a grown-up bystander, the surprising pliability of memory, the practice of re-parenting ourselves, and the wisdom that comes from learning through other people's lives.

[REBROADCAST FROM October 3, 2025] Director Kim A. Snyder discusses her new documentary called "The Librarians," which explores the role of libraries and the people who run them in today's politically fraught atmosphere. Focusing on librarians in Texas, responding to efforts to ban books about race and the LGBTQIA+ experience, the film illuminates a key angle in the conflict over access to information and art, and library patrons' so-called 'freedom to read.' Plus, New Jersey librarian Martha Hickson, who is featured in the film, shares her experiences and insights.

Need a break from the NYC mayoral race and the left-wing antisemitism of Zohran Mamdani? Let's dive into the refreshing world of right-wing antisemitism!See you this Friday at Ask A Jew's NYC Shabbat Dinner! Tickets Here. No, you don't need to be Jewish to join!This week we sat down with Seth Dillon, CEO of the conservative Christian satire website, The Babylon Bee. You may have read his recent essay The Foolishness of “No Enemies to the Right” in The Free Press, in which he said: What the radical right is demanding of conservatives like myself is that we unify with our extremists to “win.” But in what sense are we winning if we're giving up our principles and tolerating evil in our own ranks? How does that advance our cause? How could it do anything but hurt our cause?We discuss Seth's origin story from a lowly Mossad agent to the head of a media empire, why there are people out there pretending to be Christians, and how you should be willing to lose friends to stand up for what you believe in.Good for the Jews is a reader-supported publication.

This post is public so feel free to share it.Also, we mention the legacy of the NYPD's Chief Chaplain Rabbi Kass, who passed away last week after close to 60 years of service with the department. You can read Yael's tribute to him in City Journal. “In the face of rising anti-Semitism, Rabbi Kass often urged concerned Jewish New Yorkers and officers to be proud of who they are. He wore his NYPD yarmulke proudly and advised others to do the same, even if they were scared.He never allowed religion to be a barrier in connecting with police. In an overwhelmingly Christian department, Rabbi Kass liked to say that he held the record for most Catholic Masses attended by a rabbi. He even declared that the best bagels and lox he had every year was at the Holy Name Society breakfast. “All of the Catholics sitting around me look longingly at my lox,” he said with a smile in a video commemorating his 50 years of service.” This is a public episode.

1. Government Shutdown and Federal Worker Pay The episode opens with a discussion of a government shutdown, referred to as the “Schumer shutdown.” Senator Cruz criticizes Democrats for voting against legislation that would have paid essential federal workers during the shutdown. He highlights specific Democratic senators who voted in favor (Warnock, Ossoff, Fetterman) and criticizes the rest for voting against it. Cruz emphasizes the impact on TSA agents, air traffic controllers, and military personnel, warning of potential travel disruptions and national security risks. He also notes that members of Congress continue to receive pay during the shutdown, though he claims to have requested his own pay be withheld. 2. Rise of Antisemitism on the Right Cruz expresses concern about increasing antisemitism within conservative circles, particularly among younger people. He recounts his speech at a Christians United for Israel event, where he warned about the dangers of ignoring antisemitism on the right. He criticizes both the left and right for harboring antisemitic sentiments, but emphasizes a recent rise on the right. Cruz calls on church leaders and conservatives to actively oppose antisemitism and support Israel, citing national security interests and moral obligations. 3. Opposition to Ambassador Nominee Amer Ghalib Cruz discusses his opposition to Amer Ghalib, a nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait. He criticizes Ghalib’s past statements, including praise for the Muslim Brotherhood and controversial social media activity. Cruz argues that Ghalib’s views are incompatible with U.S. foreign policy and President Trump’s positions, particularly regarding Israel and the Abraham Accords. He predicts that the nomination will likely be withdrawn due to bipartisan concerns. 4. Religious Persecution in China The podcast concludes with a segment on the persecution of Christians in China, particularly the arrest of Pastor Jin Mingri and members of the Zion Church. Cruz condemns the Chinese Communist Party’s actions and calls for the U.S. to use diplomatic and economic pressure to advocate for religious freedom. He emphasizes the importance of the U.S. standing up for persecuted religious minorities globally. Cruz expresses hope that President Trump will raise the issue during an upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
