Send us a textWhat can a Star Wars show teach us about organizing, resistance, and healing? In this episode of the Amplify RJ Podcast, I sit down with strategist, therapist, and writer Gabes Torres to talk about Andor—yes, that Star Wars show—and what it reveals about real-life revolution.We dive into how Andor de-romanticizes rebellion and reflects the complex realities of movement work: the banality of evil, conflict in organizing, disposability culture, and the painful but necessary tension between rest and resistance. Gabes shares insights from their piece on the show, their organizing and healing work in the Global South, and the ways marine mammals and myth can inform our strategy.Whether or not you've seen the show, this conversation is about so much more than the galaxy far, far away—it's about our world and how we build toward collective liberation with nuance, integrity, and care.0:00 – Intro: What is Andor + Character Breakdown 5:20 – Meet Gabes Torres: Healer, Strategist, Rebel 9:42 – How Andor De-Romanticizes Revolution 14:20 – Disney, Propaganda & Revolutionary Storytelling 19:35 – The Banality of Evil in a Boardroom 25:00 – Real-World Parallels: Propaganda, Gaza, Gorman & Genocide 26:45 – Parenting, Powerlessness & Purpose 29:21 – Consciousness Building as Resistance 32:20 – Gabes on Luthen, Clea & Strategy in Movement 36:42 – Bix, Trauma & Knowing When to Step Back 40:28 – Organizing Through Burnout & Wavering Commitment 44:30 – Humananizing vs. Ruthless Sacrifice47:40 – Disposability Culture in Movements 49:10 – Disagreeing Is Not a Failure of Solidarity 52:00 – Addressing Conflict & Building in Organizing 56:20 – Is there Shared Vision for Our Resistance? 1:00:23 – Activist Ecosystems, Movement Mentorship from Marine Mammals 1:07:30 – Upside Down Triangle: Rethinking Power 1:08:50 – Support Gabes & Psychosocial Care for Organizers Connect with Gabes:https://gabestorres.com/https://www.instagram.com/gabestorres/Read her article: https://gabestorres.substack.com/p/andorSupport mental health care for organizers in the Global South https://gabestorres.com/support/Rep Amplify RJ Merch Connect with us on:Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Threads, YouTube, and TikTok!SUPPORT by sharing this podcast and leaving a rating or review

Deckers (DECK) becomes the latest example of Wall Street's emphasis on guidance. UGG and Hoka's parent company stumbled back near its 52-week low after sharing soft guidance over tariff uncertainty. Diane King Hall adds that analysts turning bearish hasn't done any favors for Deckers. Ross Stores (ROST) experienced a similar story, citing short-term pressures on guidance. Diane later turns to a winner despite today's tariff-induced sell-off: Intuit (INTU).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

I don't say I'm concerned about “the environment.” Rather I see our goal as a healthy relationship with the rest of nature. PAUL HAWKEN's new book CARBON: The Tree of Life takes a step back from the problem-solving approach of most of his work. He calls us to a deeper understanding of our place in the scheme of things as absolutely essential not just to deal effectively with the climate crisis, but with most of the other ways we fall short of what's possible in our individual lives as well as the larger world. His two previous books: DRAWDOWN: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming and REGENERATION: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation.

(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump's goals for the Department of Government Efficiency remain even as leader Elon Musk prepares to spend less time on government matters and more time with electric vehicle maker Tesla. When Trump first created DOGE, before taking office, he said it would be the government cost-cutting equivalent of the "Manhattan Project." Both Trump and Musk promised Americans would get a more efficient government after DOGE addressed government waste and cut regulations, but the final product – a streamlined government – isn't due until July 4, 2026, the nation's 250th birthday.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_6b6d3bd7-80e3-4c5e-8186-c4aaa8bf696e.html

Have you ever found yourself "back" to a situation you thought you had moved on from? Or facing a sin you thought you had defeated? It can be so discouraging, even doubt-inducing when that happens. We can feel as though we are back to square one. That all that we had done up to that point had been for nothing. But I don't think that's what God would say about it.

Imagine this: seven days, seven different airports, and never leaving the terminal. No hotel rooms, just uncomfortable airport benches. Showers? Airport bathrooms only. Food? A strict $20-a-day budget. This wasn't a punishment; it was an experiment. In this special episode of The Thermostat Podcast, Jason V. Barger shares the remarkable origin story of his "Step Back from the Baggage Claim" philosophy – a journey that began with a bold, unconventional research project. Jason immersed himself in the chaotic world of airport terminals, observing human behavior at its most raw. He witnessed the "human wall of entitlement" at baggage carousels, the frustration of delayed flights, and the fleeting interactions between strangers. This experience became the foundation for his groundbreaking work on leadership and corporate culture. This episode isn't just about airports. It's about: The Power of Perspective: How stepping back from the everyday rush can reveal profound insights about ourselves and the cultures we create. Human Connection in a Disconnected World: Why recognizing the humanity in those around us is crucial for both personal and organizational success. Navigating Adversity: Learning to respond to challenges with intention and grace, rather than reacting with frustration. The Courage to Begin: How a seemingly crazy idea, fueled by a desire to make a difference, can transform into a meaningful career. Intentions and Actions: What you can do to become the ambassador of change. Join Jason as he reflects on the lessons learned during those seven days, the key principles that still guide his work, and how the "Step Back" philosophy can help you lead more effectively and create a more positive impact, wherever you are. This is the story of how a unique experiment sparked a movement – and it might just change the way you think about leadership, culture, and the power of human connection. Tune in and discover how to "step back to move forward" in your own life and work. You will not want to miss the start of Jason V. Barger and what has led him to be a sought-after keynote speaker. How did all of this journey begin and what was the point? Jason Barger reflects on the Step Back from the Baggage Claim journey and spirit that ignited it all.
