Piers Morgan last interviewed him a couple of years ago - after which a surprising number of people commented that Jocko should run for President.

In Episode 674 of the New Media Show, Podcast Hall of Fame Host Rob Greenlee welcomes Rox Codes, CEO and co-founder of Flightcast.com. For a deep conversation about video-first podcasting, YouTube growth, AI-powered analytics, creator tools, and where podcast publishing is heading next. Rox Codes has spent years building tools for creators, including YouTube optimization, thumbnail and title creation, A/B testing, and creator growth systems. Flightcast was co-founded with Steven Bartlett of The Diary of a CEO. Rox is building a platform centered on a core shift in the market: serious shows are no longer just audio-first with a bonus video version. Many of the fastest-moving creators now think about YouTube first, then audio, clips, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, newsletters, social platforms, and every other surface where the audience may discover the show. Has video-first podcasting fully arrived, and is it now equal to audio, or is it becoming even more important for growth? Rox explains that Flightcast came from a very different starting point than traditional podcast hosting. Instead of beginning with RSS, downloads, and audio workflow, the platform was built from a YouTube creator mindset. YouTube has long been the clearest growth platform for creators because it combines publishing, discovery, audience development, monetization, and measurable performance into a single system. Podcasting, by contrast, has often separated those pieces across hosting platforms, apps, ad systems, analytics dashboards, and RSS-based distribution. The episode explores why this matters now. A modern show can become a long-form YouTube episode, an audio podcast, Spotify video, Apple video, short-form clips, newsletter content, social posts, community discussion, and brand inventory. Rox describes podcasts as a powerful format because a single strong two-hour conversation can yield many different media assets across multiple platforms. That creates opportunity, but it also creates complexity. They discuss Apple's HLS video support, Spotify video, YouTube, RSS, 4K video, thumbnails in feeds, Netflix, Roku, FAST channels, Prime Video, and the growing need for creators to publish into more places without needing to understand every technical layer underneath. Rox argues that creators should not have to care about acronyms like HLS, VAST, RSS, or 301 redirects unless the technology directly affects their business. The software should handle the complexity so creators can focus on the show, the audience, and the growth strategy. A major theme of the episode is that video success is not just about uploading an MP4 file. Rox makes a strong case that the real shift is in mindset. On YouTube, titles, thumbnails, intros, pacing, retention, curiosity gaps, promise, progress, payoff, packaging, and audience behavior all matter. Podcasting has historically treated episode art and titles as secondary. YouTube treats them as the front door to the content. Rob and Rox spend significant time on thumbnails and titles, including why creators need to understand the psychology behind a click without reducing the work to empty clickbait. Rox explains that a thumbnail should create a question the viewer wants answered, while the episode itself must deliver enough value to earn attention and retention. The best creators do not copy blindly. They study what works, understand why it works, and apply that structure in their own voice, to their audience, and through their creative point of view. The conversation also moves into AI. Rox does not describe Flightcast as an AI-first platform, but AI is an important layer inside the system. He sees major value in AI analytics, back-catalog analysis, clip testing, title suggestions, descriptions, chapters, transcripts, and pattern recognition. His larger ambition is to bake more of the YouTube strategist and producer mindset directly into the software so creators can see what is working, what is not working, and where new growth opportunities may exist. Rob and Rox also discuss monetization. As video moves deeper into podcast platforms, host-read ads, dynamic ad insertion, video ad formats, brand partnerships, affiliate models, and creator-controlled advertising may begin to converge. Rox explains Flightcast's ability to support programmatic, dynamic sponsorships and bring-your-own-programmatic monetization, while keeping the platform focused on growth and creator support rather than solely on ad sales. The episode closes with a look at the future of podcast hosting itself. Rox argues that basic hosting has become a commodity. The next layer is growth, analytics, experimentation, distribution, monetization support, and creator intelligence. In a world where AI can make software easier to build and copy, the real advantage may come from insight, speed, taste, data interpretation, and the ability to help serious creators make better decisions faster. For creators, publishers, networks, and podcast platforms, Episode 674 is a clear look at the next stage of podcasting: video-first, data-aware, AI-supported, YouTube-influenced, and increasingly built around shows that can travel everywhere.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Ashley Stahl shares that the hardest thing about growing a small business is managing your energy. She explains that there are days when you work incredibly hard and wonder how you'll do it all again tomorrow, but what keeps her going is her deep belief in Wise Whisper Agency, the impact it has on helping people craft powerful talks, and the mission of getting their ideas onto major stages, including TEDx. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Ashley Stahl shares that it's been a while since she read a traditional business book, but if she had to name one influence, she would point to Alex Hormozi's work. She says she loves his approach because it's "all protein and no fat," meaning he gets straight to the tactical, practical advice without unnecessary fluff, and she finds that direct, actionable style especially valuable for building and growing a business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business?

What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Ashley Stahl shares that the one tool she would most strongly recommend for growing a small business is paid advertising. She believes that many entrepreneurs are held back by fear of running ads, but once you learn how to use them effectively, paid ads can become a powerful and scalable way to consistently attract leads, grow revenue, and expand your business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Ashley Stahl shares that if she could go back to day one of starting out in business, she would tell herself that the journey will become much bigger than she ever imagined. She says that building a business is about far more than making money or helping people; it's ultimately a path of personal growth that teaches you how capable, resilient, and powerful you truly are.

The tables turn this week: Jamie Mulvaney takes the hot seat while Dwaine leads the questions. Fresh off week four of St Michael's “Encounters with Jesus” series — the healing of the official's son in John 4:46-54 — they dig into the single, disarming challenge running underneath every encounter in John's Gospel: will you take Jesus at his word? Even when his words feel harsh, countercultural, or far bigger than we can grasp. You can catch up on the ‘Sovereign' talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl1u9y21zPs Jamie unpacks the ‘Cana sandwich' — the way John brackets two miracles at Cana around the encounters with Nicodemus, the woman at the well and the temple — and what that deliberate structure tells us about who Jesus is. In this second sign, Jesus heals a dying boy twenty miles away without ever making the journey, revealing himself as sovereign over time, space, geography and death itself. If he can reach into a situation with nothing but a word, what does that mean for the situations we can't control? From there the conversation turns practical and honest: what do you do when scripture points one way and your emotions pull hard the other? Why is the gospel ‘done' rather than ‘do more' — and how does knowing who Jesus says you are reshape the way you strive, react and protect yourself? Jamie and Dwaine also talk about the fertile ground of the dry seasons, why signs are only ever signposts to the real reward (Jesus himself), and how to honour a searching friend's faith — however small the first step. This episode is for: --anyone who has asked God for something specific — and been surprised by the answer he gave instead --believers wrestling with scripture that points one way while their emotions pull the other --those learning to hold scripture and experience together through dry seasons and dark nights of the soul --Christians wanting to help searching friends, and to honour even the smallest, most fledgling faith --anyone struggling to trust that Jesus is truly sovereign over the situations they can't control Mentioned in this episode: Wendy Mann's Equip talk from the previous week, the earlier episode with Miles Toulmin, and Professor John Lennox's interview with Steven Bartlett on The Diary of a CEO.

This Episode brings together the most powerful ideas from Alex Hormozi, Chris Williamson, and Steven Bartlett in one long-form, transformative edit. It covers the truth about overnight success, the lonely chapter every ambitious person goes through, why consistency beats talent, why the work you do when no one is watching matters most, and why success becomes the only real revenge. You will hear about the valley of despair, the pottery-class lesson of volume over perfection, the 22-year-old advantage of energy and nothing to lose, why you cannot fit in and be exceptional at the same time, why the bar for winning is now lower than ever, and why hard seasons are a signal that you are on the right path. These ideas have become central topics in modern self-improvement because they cut through excuses and push you toward action, discipline, and long-term thinking.Instagram - @daily_motivationsorgFacebook- @daily_motivationsorg

Share Your ThoughtsWhat We Talk About in This EpisodeIn this conversation, we cover:What Flight Cast actually is (and who it's for)Why it's a video-first hosting platformHow “one upload, one dashboard” pushes your show to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, RSS, and audio platformsHow you can keep it simple or go crazy with customizationSimple upload, powerful customizationUpload one episode and:Send video to YouTube, Spotify, Apple, RSSSend audio everywhere elseSchedule different release times per platform (e.g., 6 AM audio, 8 AM YouTube)Use different titles, descriptions, and even different edits per platformUpload separate versions of the file (say “subscribe” in one, “follow” in another)Use AI to:Generate titles, descriptions, and chapters in your own styleAuto-format chapters correctly for each platformAll your stats in one placeHow Flight Cast pulls:YouTube viewsSpotify streamsRSS downloadsAnd rolls them up into a single “plays” metricAdditional analytics you get:Day-by-day performanceNew vs returning followersCross-platform uniquesBreakdown by platform, country, state, cityA built-in “giant spreadsheet” you don't have to build yourselfAudience overlap (who listens to episode A and episode B)Using the built-in AI chat to answer questions like:“Rank all my episodes on YouTube in the last 6 months by views in the first 24 hours.”“What's my 100-day average per episode?”Ads, programmatic, and retention dataHow Flight Cast handles:Geo-targetingProgrammatic adsDynamic ad slotsWhy retention graphs matter more than a single download numberHow to look at:Drop-off moments (what caused the skip?)Chapter jumps (what are people skipping to?)Rox's “favorite stat” and why views still matter most in his worldClips, test channels, and experimentationLets you “always be testing” in the backgroundHow to ramp up clips:Start with 1 clip/daySlowly increase to 2, 3, then 4 maxWhy this kind of ongoing experimentation is like treating your show as a recipe, not a statueMoving from audio to video (without losing your mind)Rox's core idea:Video isn't a file format, it's an algorithmOn YouTube, TikTok, Reels, Shorts: publishing and discovery are the same thingThe big mindset shift:Audio podcasting = small optimization games (SEO, cross-promo, ads)YouTube = “get good” at a few big levers:ThumbnailsTitlesIdeasIntrosWhy the first 30 seconds, title, and thumbnail matter so much more than most of us want to admitTalking-head video vs fancy productionWhy talking heads are NOT bad content:Joe Rogan is talking headsDiary of a CEO is talking headsWhy audio quality is still 80% of the experience even on videoWhen 4K matters (and when it doesn't):720 → 1080 is a big jump1080 → 4K is “nice to have,” not mandatoryFlight Cast's support for full 4K, including Apple HLS video, and why they built it to “respect” creators who go the extra mileWho Flight Cast is for and pricingTarget user: serious video podcasters / “intermediate plus”Why Rox calls it a “jackhammer”—powerful, but you don't always need that much powerPricing (at the time of this conversation):Starts around $50/month for everything except clipsHigher tiers ($100–$250/month) if you want more clips and higher download limitsBasic plan includes:Up to 50,000 downloads/monthFull 4K video, Apple HLS, no bandwidth chargesAround 3 TB of storage (which almost nobody hits)Learning YouTube: resources Rox recommendsApril Lynn Alter (YouTube channel)Patty Galloway (YouTube channel)Creator Hooks by Jake Thomas (newsletter)A dose of reality about YouTube and videoWe talk frankly about:People who spend days or even weeks perfecting a thumbnailThe sheer amount of time it can take to get good at YouTubeMy big point:It's okay if you don't have that timeJust understand what you're up against so you don't get discouragedMy biggest fear:People add video to an already full plateBurn out on videoThen quit podcasting entirelyI want you to set realistic expectationsBonus: For audio-only podcasters who still want better statsPodAnalyst.com – in beta with their pro plan free for nowTracks:Listening completion at 25%, 50%, 75%, etc.How long people are actually listeningTo me, that's the real “is my show any good?” metric:If people are only listening to 25% of an episode, that's a signalYou can track up to 10 keywords, share stats with team members, and export data while they're in beta.My TakeawaysHere's what I want you to remember from this episode:If you go into video, YouTube is an algorithm game, not just a file format.You don't need cinematic production; you do need:Strong audioA compelling titleA curiosity-driven thumbnailA sharp first 30 secondsTools like FlightCast can:Save you time by distributing everywhere from one uploadHelp you understand your audience by putting all your stats in one placeYou don't have to “go full YouTuber” to benefit from thinking like one.And again, if you're already overwhelmed with audio, please don't feel like you “have to” add video.

WARNING: This episode contains mentions of eating disorders. A list of resources is available at the bottom of the description if you or someone you know needs help. The relationship between women and food can be incredibly complicated, and in many cases harmful. With weight loss and dieting engrained in girls from a young age, maintaining a positive mindset around food can be nearly impossible. That's why Nicole Gaviria created Binge Free Bestie and is on a mission to help women improve their relationship with food, using her own experience with binge eating coupled with a master's degree in counselling. In the episode, Toni and Nicole chat about how Nicole recognised her own binge eating habits and the work she's done to have a more positive mindset around food, her mission to help other women, and the amazing opportunity she had to meet Diary of a CEO host Steven Bartlett.

Welcome to another episode of the Data Debrief, the companion show to Driven by Data: The Podcast, where hosts Catherine Dowden-King and Kyle Winterbottom unpack Tuesday's episode, share what's been on their minds, and explore the realities of leadership, culture, and capability across the data and AI landscape.This week, Catherine and Kyle reflect on the conversation with Sarah Emerson, Group Director of Insight & Business Partnering at Howden, diving deeper into the growing importance of commercial thinking, business partnering, and the role relationships play in driving value from data.They cover:Why Sarah's background in finance and corporate strategy offers a unique perspective on data leadership, and how commercial acumen can become a powerful differentiator for leaders looking to influence organisational outcomesThe challenge of connecting data strategy to business strategy, why many organisations struggle to articulate strategic priorities clearly, and the practical ways data leaders can uncover them regardlessWhy curiosity about business value shouldn't be reserved for senior leaders, and how analysts at every level can develop a stronger understanding of commercial impactThe growing importance of business partnering as a dedicated capability, and how organisations can bridge the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders more effectivelyThe realities of operating model design, why federated approaches continue to gain traction, and the trade-offs organisations must consider when balancing proximity to the business with cost and complexitySarah's view that self-service analytics has largely failed to deliver on its original promise, and what that means for the future of data enablement and adoptionWhy understanding how business leaders are measured, incentivised, and rewarded can dramatically improve stakeholder engagement and increase adoption of data-led initiativesThe challenges of discussing performance, incentives, and accountability within organisations, and why trust and relationship-building remain critical leadership skillsThe evolving role of the Chief Data Officer, the increasing consolidation of data responsibilities back into CIO organisations, and what this shift could mean for the future of data leadershipHow AI has accelerated organisational debates around ownership, accountability, and transformation, with many businesses still determining where responsibility ultimately sitsThe emergence of broader transformation and innovation leadership roles that combine data, technology, AI, digital, and business transformation under a single mandateKyle's thought of the week: as more organisations place data leadership responsibilities back under the CIO, many of the lessons learned throughout the evolution of the CDO role risk being forgotten. The challenge now is ensuring that value creation, business engagement, and commercial impact remain at the centre of the agenda, regardless of where accountability sits.This episode explores the realities of commercial leadership in data, the importance of business partnering, and why understanding people, incentives, and organisational dynamics is often just as important as understanding data itself.

Why have wages for working Americans stagnated for decades—even as productivity, corporate profits, and the wealth of the people at the top continued to rise? The mainstream explanations are familiar: automation, globalization, education, or simply the unavoidable forces of the market—but wage stagnation was not inevitable. It was the result of policy choices. This week, we're revisiting a conversation with economists Lawrence Mishel and Josh Bivens about the decisions that reshaped the American economy, weakened worker bargaining power, and made it harder for working people to claim their share of the prosperity they helped create. As we continue sharing more about Market Humanism—the idea that markets are human-built systems shaped by rules and power—this conversation feels especially relevant. The economy we have did not emerge naturally. It was built. And that means it can be rebuilt. This episode originally aired on June 1, 2021. Josh Bivens is the chief economist at the Economic Policy Institute. His research focuses on macroeconomics, inequality, social insurance, public investment, and the economics of globalization. Larry Mishel is a distinguished fellow and former president of the Economic Policy Institute. His research focuses on labor economics, wages and income distribution, industrial relations, productivity growth, and the economics of education.

Has Steven Bartlett inadvertently started the World War One of podcasting? Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get married in Madison Square Garden? And why is America's biggest news show having a very public meltdown? Diary of a CEO host Steven Bartlett sent the podcasting world into a tailspin after complaining that three glasses of wine ruined his health scores. But why is Bartlett so polarising? And for how long can he walk the tightrope between edgy podcaster and BBC host? In the wake of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's star-studded nuptials, Marina shares her field guide to the celebrity destination wedding. So who are the mandatory guests? And how closely will Taylor Swift adhere to the playbook when she ties the knot this summer? David Ellison's takeover of America's No.1 news show, 60 Minutes, has sparked dramatic firings and accusations of political interference.

This week on Don't Praise the Machine, we're asking the question nobody in the productivity space wants to answer: is optimization culture actually making your life worse?When a clip of Steven Bartlett went viral, explaining how three glasses of wine with friends "ruined him for three days," the internet didn't push back on the sobriety. They pushed back on the measurement. The Whoop band. The sleep scores. The idea that a normal Thursday night had become a biometric failure.We dig into whether treating your life as a quantifiable system to be hacked and continuously improved is quietly destroying the things that make life worth living. Friendship, spontaneity, and the occasional loaded fry.If you've ever felt guilty for enjoying yourself, this one's for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Farage and the far-right have been quick to seize on Henry Nowak's horrific murder, ignoring pleas from the victim's family for the killing not to be politicised. Instead the Reform leader decried “two-tier” policing and called for “pure, cold rage”. What does it all mean? Are we in for another summer of racially-triggered rioting? Plus: what would an Andy Burnham government actually look like? Can Manchesterism succeed where Starmerism stumbled? And in the Extra Bit… mantropreneurship irritant Steven Bartlett claims that two glasses of wine “ruined” his life for three days.

What happens when the dream career opportunity arrives… just as motherhood asks more of you than ever before?In this deeply honest conversation, Zoe sits down with Amy, CEO of Steven Bartlett Private Office, to talk about the impossible equation so many ambitious mothers are trying to solve. From taking a huge new role whilst pregnant, to the tension between career ambition and wanting to be the primary attachment figure for your children, this episode is an incredibly raw exploration of modern motherhood, identity and work.Amy shares the internal conflict so many mothers carry but rarely say out loud: that sometimes we don't just work for our children, we work because part of us still deeply wants ambition, creativity, challenge and growth too.This is an episode about intuition, guilt, love, matrescence and learning to live inside the contradictions of motherhood.

Jeannette is joined by Dr. Guy Sandelowsky, co-founder of the award-winning plant-powered pet food brand, Omni. Guy reflects on the business's phenomenal journey over the past 12 months, detailing how their appearance on Dragons' Den acted as a massive catalyst to 10x their top-line revenue. From surviving a brutal grilling by Peter Jones to securing backing from Steven Bartlett and Deborah Meaden, he shares invaluable insights into scaling a startup, navigating corporate sustainability through B Corp status, and the unique challenges faced as an LGBTQ+ founder in the business world. You'll Learn Why: Appearing on Dragons' Den can serve as a powerful catalyst for unprecedented business growth by providing massive, free national television exposure. Sustained growth relies on establishing a clear product-market fit by solving a genuine, widespread pain point for your consumers.

Navigating investor bias by remaining fiercely authentic to your identity can ultimately unlock the right opportunities and secure partners who truly support your vision.

In this episode, we sit down with Levi Levenfiche, co-founder of Perfect Ted, the UK's fastest growing matcha brand, who went from funding the business with his own paychecks to negotiating million pound deals with Steven Bartlett. Levi breaks down the reality of building a food and beverage business from a kitchen table, why 99% of startups fail and the odds are even worse in F&B, and how Perfect Ted went from pretending to be a cafe to order matcha samples to becoming the largest matcha brand in the UK by consumption. He explains why they ignored every piece of advice telling them not to launch in Holland & Barrett, how they had four days to get their numbers ready for Dragons' Den, and why knowing your financials inside out is non negotiable if you want to survive the den. We dive deep into what happened after Dragons' Den aired, why it took nearly a year to sign the deal with Steven Bartlett that was shown in minutes on TV, and how they navigated negotiations when the business was doubling month on month. Levi reveals why Stephen isn't the type of investor who grills every number but focuses on brand and storytelling, how accountability changes everything when you're managing someone else's money, and why compromise is the foundation of any successful partnership.

Vendredi je repars. Et je t'avoue que ça me fait chier.Dans cet épisode je te fais un débrief honnête sur ces 3 mois en Thaïlande : le bon, le mauvais, ce que l'Asie t'apprend sur l'Occident, pourquoi je n'ai jamais envie de revivre en Europe, et pourquoi je pense que tout le monde devrait tenter l'expatriation au moins une fois.On parle aussi de The Diary of a CEO de Steven Bartlett — un des meilleurs livres que j'ai lus depuis longtemps.Et on termine sur le fitness : pourquoi l'été ne devrait pas être un événement, mais juste la continuation d'un lifestyle.
In this episode, we dive deep into what it really takes to close a deal with one of the biggest investors in the UK, from the moment the cameras stop rolling to the final signature. Our guest walks us through the entire journey of negotiating with Steven Bartlett after appearing on Dragons Den, revealing why it took nearly a year to sign the deal that aired in a matter of minutes. We discuss the reality of managing investor relationships, why valuations become impossible to pin down when you're doubling month on month, and how monumental milestones kept shifting the goalposts during negotiations. They explain why Stephen isn't the kind of investor who grills every number but instead focuses on brand and storytelling, how the dynamic changes when you're suddenly managing someone else's money, and why accountability forces a business to grow up fast. We explore the difference between cutting corners as a scrappy startup and doing everything to regulation when you have an investor on board, why contracts need to be watertight, and how compromise is the foundation of any successful partnership. We also break down the reality of fundraising, from legal due diligence to financial and technical DD, why it takes far longer than anyone expects, and how to navigate difficult conversations without letting tension destroy the relationship. They share why every negotiation has its ups and downs, how to stay aligned when valuations are constantly shifting, and why finding the deal that works for everyone is about pulling different levers until you get there. If you're raising capital, negotiating with investors, or trying to understand what happens after the handshake moment on TV, this episode will give you the unfiltered truth about what it really takes to close a deal and build a genuine partnership.

There's a quiet mental trap that's slowly killing the ambitions of health and wellness podcasters, and chances are, you've fallen into it without even realising. In this solo episode, I dig into survivorship bias: why comparing your podcast to the biggest shows in the game is setting you up for frustration, and what to focus on instead. In this episode I cover: What survivorship bias is and why it's so dangerous for podcasters The full story behind Diary of a CEO, including everything that happened before the cameras and the guests Why the "messy middle" is invisible and why that makes it so easy to underestimate the path The one question Steven Bartlett asked himself that changed everything Why compounding, in audience, skill, and consistency, is slow before it's fast A sneak peek at next week's guest: the biggest I've ever had on Mics to Millions, who nearly quit before reaching half a million monthly downloads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the show?

✨ Join my free Ideas to Income challenge → https://fea.link/ideas Steven Bartlett doesn't wipe bottoms. And I think we should talk about that. If you're building a business while also raising kids, this one is for you. I'm sharing my honest story of how motherhood completely changed my business journey (the fog, the guilt, the exhaustion) and the shifts that finally helped me find my way through it. WE'LL TALK ABOUT... Why becoming a mother felt like losing myself completely The guilt cycle of feeling bad for working AND bad for not working Why advice from Bartlett, Hormozi and co. just isn't built for us How I started creating non-negotiables to protect my time Why being a business-owning mum is actually one of the most powerful things your kids can witness The importance of giving yourself grace in this season of life I also share the parts that don't get talked about enough. The identity shift that comes with having a baby. The fog of early motherhood. Feeling like a failure because you can't keep up. And why comparing yourself to people who aren't in your season of life is keeping you stuck. Because you can be a mum and build a wildly successful business. We'll do it together. Carrie xx
Dominic McGregor is the more private of a very successful duo. He and his co-founder, Steven Bartlett, set up the Social Chain and were immensely successful in their early twenties. However, it was also a time of huge pressures for Dom, who turned to alcohol to numb his emotions. In his book, I'm Never Drinking Again, he very bravely lays out some of the lowest moments that led to a lasting change. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
From Joe Rogan to Steven Bartlett to Clavicular: online creators are in a rush to become “extreme.” So why are they all starting to sound like clones?

I almost didn't record this one. After six months of not being sick, I think I'm there. My voice is lower than usual and I've got that heavy-head thing going on.

At risk of sounding like an overenthusiastic motivational speaker, I share some of the voices I come back to when things get hard or discouraging or heavy. Jocko Willink, Alex Hormozi, Seth Godin, Gary V, Steven Bartlett, and Will Guidara.

It's Tuesday, March 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Cuba is on verge of collapse Cuba, a communist country in the Western Hemisphere, is on the verge of collapse. Oil shipments to the island nation stopped three months ago and the nation's electric grid gave out over the weekend. Plus, the country's Gross Domestic Product, the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders, slipped another 5% last year. According to the United Nation's Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, communist Cuba has the worst GDP/capita in Latin America — barely reaching $1,000 per year. The worst economies in Latin America are communist Venezuela, communist Nicaragua, communist Cuba, and Haiti. Cuba is ripest nation for spiritual revival Despite the economic doom and gloom, Cuba appears to be the ripest for spiritual revival of any nation in the world today. The Baptists have reported a 40-fold increase in the number of churches since 1990. One estimate puts the total number of Cuban believers at two million. That's about 20% of the population -- higher than membership in the communist party for the country. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus promised that “He would build His church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” 47% of Americans oppose the U.S.-Iranian war Americans continue to have mixed opinions about the Iran conflict. New polling averages, from Real Clear Politics, found that 44% of Americans support the war, while 47% oppose the fight. Similarly, a Quinnipiac poll found that only 40% of Americans favor the war, with 53% in opposition. A whopping 74% of Americans are opposed to sending ground troops into the war, something the Trump administration has not ruled out. Court allows naked men in women's spa The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has let stand a lower court ruling requiring a private spa, intended for women, to allow naked men to frequent the premises. The Washington State spa owners insisted this policy would be contrary to their Christian beliefs. Thus far, at least five judges have filed dissents on the decision. 19% of employees at U.S. companies are foreign workers American corporations are hiring foreign workers like never before, recent numbers indicate 19.2% of their employees are foreign workers, up from 12% twenty years ago. Another 10% of the U.S. workforce is also provided for by digital offshoring by organizations like Upwork. That makes almost a third of the U.S. workforce now provided for by foreigners. Pastor: If you're a Christian, don't live in sin with someone Megachurch pastor Josh Howerton of LakePointe Church in Dallas, Texas, challenged Christian couples to stop living in sin. HOWERTON: “The Bible is going to say things about marriage, sexuality and divorce that are very controversial to the world. My response to that is: ‘To who?' Because what the world says about marriage is controversial to Heaven. I would rather Heaven be pleased and the world say we're controversial than be applauded by the world and controversial before Heaven.” Pastor Howerton concluded his sermon with this challenge. HOWERTON: “You're living with somebody that's not your spouse. You're sleeping with somebody that's not your spouse. Or you've actually already started a family and had kids with somebody that's not your spouse. “And you, right now, are coming under the loving conviction of the Holy Spirit that you need to honor God, bend your knee to Jesus, put a ring on it, and enter into a covenant with a person that you're already acting like you're in a covenant with. “What I want you to know is we want to help you do that, because we got a little thing at Lakepoint. We say, ‘The only time we look down on people is to give them a hand up.' “So, here's what we want to do. We got a whole team of pastors. We are ready to have a mass wedding ceremony. I'm 100% serious. We got people. We're gonna walk with you, counsel you, help you, and then we're gonna get you married. We're gonna throw a big party. “And guess what? Your church family is not going to be doing. These people aren't going to be judging you. They're going to be cheering you on as you step forward into obedience to Jesus Christ.” Remarkably, following the sermon, 52 couples came forward and were married at the church a couple of weeks later. Isaiah 1:18 says, “Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.'” Tennessee bill to abolish abortion died in committee A bill before the Tennessee State legislature that would have fully banned abortion was killed in the legislature's Health Subcommittee last week, reports the Nashville Banner. The bill would have criminalized abortion and given equal protection to the unborn under the law. However, the measure was actively opposed by both pro-abortion and pro-life groups, who argued the law was too strict. Bradley Pierce, president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, stated, “I don't think it's merciful to tell women that they're allowed to murder their children. To those who say that having a blanket exemption for women is merciful, do you apply that to any other area of law?” Similar bills have been introduced, both in Democratic and Republican states, and thus far, none have passed. Proverbs 24:11 admonishes us to “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” Christian apologist shares Christ on popular podcast Apologist Wes Huff clearly explained the Gospel of Jesus Christ to entrepreneur Steven Bartlett on Bartlett's “Diary of a CEO” podcast — among the top podcasts in the world. In fact, 3 million people listen per episode. BARTLETT: “If I sin in my life, do I go to hell?” HUFF: “Here's the thing: everybody is going to hell. Everybody. The Bible is very clear. All good people go to Heaven, but Jesus said, ‘No one is good but God alone.' So, if all good people go to Heaven, and no one is good but God alone, only God is in Heaven.” BARTLETT: “Mmm.” HUFF: “So, Christianity says you're not going to be able to do, feel or think good enough. Compared to God, you're always going to fall short. Be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect, is what Scripture says. That's an impossible standard. “The message of the Bible, the reason why it's called the Gospel, the Good News, is because of the bad news. The bad news is you're dead in your sins and trespasses and you can't save yourself. Jesus, as the second Person of the Trinity, steps off of His throne in eternity, comes into humanity, and He pays the penalty of the sin that you deserve.” Romans 3:23 gives us the bad news. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” And Romans 5:8 gives us the Good News. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Oscars awarded to foul-mouthed, immoral R-rated movies And finally, the 98th Academy Award ceremonies awarded more R-rated movies with top prizes again this year. One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, took the Best Picture award — a film celebrating revolution, killing ICE agents, and murdering pro-life legislators. It played with moral ambiguity and satire, while encouraging revolutionary activity in society. Sadly, the film, which features the most obscene word 135 times and the Lord's name used in vain 20 times, garnered six Oscars. Another R-rated movie, Sinners, collected four more Oscars. The film glorified demonism, African animism, murderers, adulterers, and hoodoo witches, while condemning Christianity for its alleged legalism and white oppression. Sinners features the Lord's name taken in vain 11 times. I John 2:15-17 says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father, but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, March 17th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

There's a story we tell ourselves about money and freedom: that they're reserved for the lucky, the privileged, the ones who got a head start.But what if the very thing you lacked growing up is exactly what equipped you to build the most intentional life imaginable?I'm so thrilled to welcome our guest, Jason Graystone.Jason grew up without stability, security, or financial safety. His upbringing was chaotic — at one point, a London gangster was his childminder. But instead of letting that define him, he used it as fuel. By 14 he was running a car washing business. By his twenties, he was methodically learning every investment vehicle he could get his hands on. And by 29, he was financially free.He's now 42. And every year since has been, in his words, a bonus.Jason is a multiple business owner, trader, and investor who has spoken on stages alongside Daniel Priestley, Steven Bartlett, Ali Abdaal, and David JP Phillips. He's delivered a TEDx talk, hosts the Always Free podcast (5 million+ downloads), has 440,000 YouTube subscribers, and has his debut book Always Free out next month — his blueprint for building a life of genuine freedom.In this conversation, we get into the mindset, the money, and the meaning behind it all.What You'll Learn:Why what you lacked most as a child shapes what you value most as an adult, and how to use that self-awareness to your advantageThe van conversation with his boss that changed everything: how pricing up your dream life completely transforms your relationship with money and goalsWhy mental freedom is the foundation everything else is built on, and why you'll never truly be financially free without it firstWhat he witnessed on Necker Island that proved we're all chasing something we already have access to Hosted on Acast.
