Send us Fan MailEverybody wants Black culture—but does everybody respect the people who created it?On this episode of the Concrete Genius Pod, Sauce Mackenzie examines the worldwide influence of Black American culture and asks a harder question: when does appreciation become exploitation?From the obsession with Chicago and hip-hop culture to the way Black music, slang, fashion, style and entertainment travel around the world, Sauce challenges people who consume Black culture every day while criticizing or disrespecting Black Americans.Every community has problems. So why does Black dysfunction so often become entertainment, while Black creativity becomes something everyone feels entitled to copy, critique and profit from?This is a conversation about culture, ownership, respect, influence and the difference between loving what Black America creates and respecting Black Americans themselves.

You have years - maybe decades - of experience.You've seen what's broken in your industry. You have ideas about how things could work better. You have a perspective that could genuinely help people.But if you're only sharing those ideas with your mentor, your coach, your colleagues, your friends, or the people already inside your professional circle…you're talking to an echo chamber.And your expertise can't create its full impact if the people who need it never get to hear it.In this episode, I talk about why I believe Changemakers have an enormous opportunity right now to take their expertise beyond the traditional systems they've been working inside and build sustainable online brands around what they know.I share my own journey from nonprofit immigration lawyer to also online social entrepreneur - including the moment I realized that although I deeply believed in my profession and mission, there were limits to how much change I could create within the existing system.Building an online business gave me another way to contribute.It allowed me to reach people across borders, share what I'd learned, build something profitable and ultimately help far more people than I could through my traditional professional role alone.And that's why I'm so passionate about helping other Changemakers do the same.In this episode, I explore:Why keeping your biggest ideas inside your existing professional circle limits your potential impactThe opportunity we now have to reach people around the world through the internetHow I moved from nonprofit immigration law into also entrepreneurship and online businessWhy building a profitable business doesn't have to mean abandoning your missionHow I built Immigrant Finance with my husband to help immigrants build financial wealthWhy content is one of the most powerful tools changemakers have for sharing their expertiseWhy learning online sales matters if you want your impact to be sustainableThe connection between visibility, expertise, income and impactWhy your years of experience may be exactly what qualifies you to become a thought leaderWhy now is such an important moment for Changemakers to step forward and help build what comes nextThe internet has given us something previous generations could barely have imagined: the ability to share our ideas with people around the world instantly.The question isn't whether that opportunity exists.The question is whether you're actually using it.If you know you have something important to contribute, it's time to stop keeping it behind closed doors.Your people can't find you if they can't hear you.And your expertise can't create the impact it's capable of creating if it stays inside the echo chamber.Ready to build an online brand as brilliant and respected as your offline career?

Send us Fan MailWhat helps kids keep talking to their parents—even when the subject is awkward, uncomfortable, or potentially alarming?Mandy welcomes her son Carter back to the podcast just days before he leaves for college. Carter gives parents an honest look at the digital and cultural pressures young people are facing today, including sports gambling, online gaming, sexualized content, locker room culture, explicit music, and the pressure boys feel to hide their emotions in a world with so many competing definitions of what it means to be “masculine.” Together, Mandy and Carter reflect on the choices that helped build trust in their relationship—from introducing gaming privileges in stages to listening calmly when Carter brought them something concerning. They also discuss the importance of teaching children to protect their hearts and minds, helping them find a strong Christian community, and guiding them without trying to control every decision.Parents cannot remove every harmful influence their children will encounter, but they can become a safe place where their children process those experiences.Connect with The nextTalk Parent Podcast:Website: https://nextTalk.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nextTalkInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nextTalkorg/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextTalkorgFree Guides Here: For Churches & Christian Families - nextTalk Additional Episodes:Protect Heart & Mind - nextTalk: https://nexttalk.org/podcast_episode/protect-heart-mind/Teach Red Flag Reporting - nextTalk: https://nexttalk.org/podcast_episode/teach-red-flag-reporting/Online Gambling and Teens: A Parent Conversation - nextTalk: https://nexttalk.org/podcast_episode/online-gambling-teens/Parent Question: I hate my kid's music.

That split second after a patient asks “Can't you just fill it?” can quietly decide the whole case. If you hesitate, even with good intentions, you can accidentally turn your best clinical recommendation into an “upgrade” and make the compromised option feel like the default. We dig into why that happens and how to communicate treatment plans with calm confidence, so your patients feel informed instead of sold. We unpack the difference between what you technically could do and what you would actually recommend, using a simple analogy that makes the point stick. From crown vs filling conversations to new patient exams, we talk about the trap of negotiating against your own diagnosis, and why trying to keep everyone happy can chip away at your authority, your case acceptance, and your enjoyment of dentistry. We also get practical about objections. “Just a filling” is often a placeholder for something else: fear, mistrust, confusion, low perceived value, or money. You'll hear how to stop diagnosing the patient's wallet, ask better questions, and give real patient autonomy by presenting the ideal plan clearly, then letting them choose with full understanding of risks, benefits, and alternatives. If you want better communication, stronger trust, and a practice that runs smoother without you feeling slimy, this is for you.

In the latest episode of the Texas Family Law Insiders Podcast, Holly sits down to talk with criminal defense attorney Hunter Biederman of Biederman and Burleson, PLLC in Frisco, TX to discuss the all-too-common intersection of family law and criminal law.A former prosecutor with 20 years of experience in Collin and Denton Counties, Hunter walks through what a family lawyer should do the moment a client gets arrested — getting them out of jail quickly through a bail bondsman rather than a cash bond, then slowing down to loop in a criminal defense attorney. Both agree that every family lawyer should cultivate a go-to relationship with a criminal defense attorney, since the crossover between the two practice areas, often driven by alcohol, stress, and the emotional toll of divorce, is constant. The two also cover the cardinal rule of criminal defense — never talk to the police — and why that advice holds true even in emotionally charged domestic violence calls where both parties are pointing fingers.The conversation turns to the mechanics of domestic violence cases: why a “complaining witness” can never unilaterally drop criminal charges once police are involved, how affidavits of non-prosecution work differently depending on whether a prosecutor or a defense attorney prepares them, and how this dynamic can badly undercut a family law case when a client who once claimed abuse later recants. Hunter and Holly discuss how prior domestic violence allegations, or the lack of any paper trail, can become a weapon in custody disputes and protective order hearings, and how differently individual judges weigh an arrest or a protective order that was issued on thin evidence.Hunter and Holly close with practical guidance for family lawyers whose clients have a criminal case running alongside a divorce or custody matter: the real timeline of a criminal case (often nine months to a year and a half, far longer than a family law case), the competing interests at play when deciding whether a client with pending charges should testify, and the practical reality that prosecutors rarely go looking for family court transcripts. They wrap up with an overview of expunctions and non-disclosures — how a dismissed or resolved criminal case can still show up and hurt a client in front of a judge or jury unless that extra step is taken to clear the record.In This Episode You'll Discover:• What to do the moment a client gets arrested• The number one rule from every criminal defense attorney.• Why a complaining witness can't just “drop the charges”• The difference between bond conditions and a protective order• How a criminal case timeline collides with a family law case• What expunctions and non-disclosures can (and can't) erase

Most of us grew up hearing the same lesson: treat others the way you want to be treated. It's the Golden Rule, and it's one of the first lessons we learn about kindness and respect. But apply that same philosophy to leadership, and it starts to break down. Joseph Rockey Jr., founder of Elite Business Cruises, argues it's actually one of the biggest obstacles to building a high-performing team. During our conversation, Joe challenged one of management's oldest assumptions: great leaders don't lead people the way they want to be led. They lead people the way their employees need to be led. About Joseph Rockey Jr. Joseph Rockey Jr. is the founder of Elite Business Cruises, a serial entrepreneur who has launched nearly 30 businesses, an international best-selling author, and a business consultant specializing in employee motivation, leadership, and business culture. Rather than focusing solely on traditional training programs, Joe helps organizations improve employee engagement, strengthen workplace relationships, and create cultures that attract and retain top talent. His work centers on the idea that businesses succeed when they build stronger relationships with both their employees and their customers. The Leadership Trap Many managers become leaders because they were excellent employees. They worked hard, solved problems, took initiative, and got promoted. Then they naturally start managing others the same way that worked for them. The problem is that not everyone thinks, communicates, or gets motivated the same way. Joe points out that many organizations carry childhood lessons into adulthood without questioning them. The Golden Rule works for teaching kids kindness, but it falls apart in leadership because employees bring different personalities, goals, and communication styles to the table. Stop Talking. Start Understanding. One of Joe's simplest recommendations is also one of the most powerful: talk to your employees. Not just about projects and deadlines—about what actually matters to them. What are they trying to accomplish? Why are they working here? What motivates them outside the office? What does success look like for them? These conversations aren't about becoming everyone's best friend. They're about understanding what drives people so you can communicate in ways that actually land. Every Business Has Two Relationships Joe offers a simple litmus test for any organization. Ask yourself: What's our relationship with our employees? What's our relationship with our customers? If the honest answer to either is just "it's okay," the business has already started to plateau. Growth happens when both relationships keep improving. When employees don't feel connected, engagement drops. When customers don't feel understood, loyalty disappears. Technology can boost efficiency, but relationships are what keep people around. Stop Selling Products. Solve Problems. One of the strongest points from the interview: businesses often define themselves by what they sell instead of the problems they solve. Most companies can describe their products. Far fewer can explain the transformation they actually provide. Joe pushes business owners to dig deeper: What problem are we solving? What challenges surround that problem? What extra value could we provide that customers aren't expecting? When a business focuses on solving the whole problem instead of just delivering a product, it becomes much harder for competitors to replace. Price matters less once customers start comparing outcomes instead of features. AI Makes Human Leadership More Important Season 28 is centered on AI Exposing the Cracks, and this conversation fits that theme perfectly. As AI gets better at repetitive work, answering questions, generating content, and automating tasks, something shifts. The technical work gets easier. The human work gets more valuable. AI can summarize reports, draft emails, and generate software. It can't build trust. It can't inspire a struggling employee. It can't create genuine relationships between coworkers. Joe notes that technology keeps improving while our ability to build meaningful relationships often moves the other direction. Younger generations are more digitally connected than ever, yet plenty of organizations still struggle to build authentic workplace relationships. That makes leadership more important in an AI-driven future—not less. People Buy Confidence Another idea worth sitting with: Joe's distinction between important purchases and ordinary ones. When something really matters to someone, they usually want another person involved. They want advice, reassurance, and confidence. That's why people still seek out trusted advisors for major financial decisions, healthcare, consulting, legal services, and business strategy—even when AI can answer plenty of their questions. As leaders and business owners, we're often selling confidence as much as we're selling expertise. Final Thoughts Leadership isn't about finding one style that works for everyone. It's about understanding the people you lead well enough to adapt your communication, expectations, and support to help them succeed. The Golden Rule teaches kindness. Great leadership requires something more—curiosity, listening, and recognizing that every employee, customer, and business relationship is different. As AI automates more of our daily work, those human skills won't matter less. They'll become your greatest competitive advantage. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

For years, parents have been told to talk to their children about their feelings. But what if talking isn't always what children need most?In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, child psychologists Tammy Schamuhn and Tania Johnson challenge one of today's most common parenting messages. While emotional literacy is incredibly important, there are moments when constantly asking children how they feel can unintentionally keep them stuck in their emotions instead of helping them move through them.Tammy and Tania explore the difference between acknowledging feelings and over-focusing on them. They discuss why children need more than conversations—they need co-regulation, play, movement, connection, and opportunities to experience competence. You'll learn when to lean into emotional conversations, when to simply be present, and how to help children build resilience without making every difficult moment the center of attention.If you've ever wondered, "Am I talking about feelings too much?" this episode offers a balanced, compassionate perspective grounded in attachment, neuroscience, and child development.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why talking about feelings isn't always the most effective intervention.• The difference between validating emotions and unintentionally reinforcing them.• When children need connection instead of conversation.• How play, movement, and co-regulation help children process difficult emotions.• Why emotional resilience comes from experiencing feelings—not avoiding them or over-analyzing them.• Practical ways to respond when your child is upset without turning every moment into a therapy session.This conversation isn't about talking less with your child—it's about knowing when words help, when presence matters more, and how to support children in ways that foster lasting emotional health. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, we're talking about why being hard on yourself isn't helping you become your best self, and what to do instead. You'll learn how to recognize the difference between accountability and self-criticism, why your inner dialogue matters so much, and how to replace self-defeating thoughts with words that build confidence, resilience, and belief. ✅ ‌ FREE CLASS!

This week we had the privilege of hosting Leif Johan Sevland, President and CEO of the Offshore Northern Seas Foundation (ONS), for a Special Edition. Leif is a Norwegian business leader and former politician with a distinguished career spanning public service and the energy sector. Prior to joining ONS, Leif served as the Mayor of Stavanger from 2005 to 2011. The ONS 2026 Conference is fast approaching, taking place from August 24–27 in Stavanger, Norway. The conference is held biennially and attracts 70,000+ global industry leaders representing over 1,100 companies and 35+ countries. We were honored to host Leif to preview this year's conference, its major themes, and the trends shaping Norway's, Europe's and the world's energy landscape. In our conversation, Leif shared a preview of what attendees can expect at ONS 2026 and how this year's conference theme, Courage, is intended to challenge industry leaders to move beyond discussion and embrace decisive action in addressing the world's evolving energy needs. We explore Norway's unique position as both a leading oil and gas producer and an energy innovator, discussing how energy security, affordability, technological innovation, and shifting geopolitical dynamics are reshaping energy markets, investment priorities, and policy around the world. We examine Europe's evolving innovation ecosystem, the accelerating adoption of AI and its growing impact on power demand, renewed interest in nuclear energy, and the convergence of energy, defense, and industrial technologies. Leif emphasizes the importance of open dialogue, global collaboration, and developing the next generation of industry leaders, and shares how ONS brings together policymakers, operators, investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators to exchange ideas and help shape the future of energy. The Veriten team will be at ONS, participating in a few panels, and connecting with good friends and with some of our partner and portfolio companies that will also be in attendance. Mike Bradley started off the discussion by noting that two key market themes remained in place: lower oil prices and stronger equity markets. The 10-year Treasury yield remained range-bound, showing little directional movement. On the equity market front, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up ~500 to 600 points on the day, with gains driven primarily by Amgen, Caterpillar, and Goldman Sachs. On the oil market front, downward pressure on crude prices continued, with WTI falling by approximately $1/bbl to around $75/bbl. The decline was driven largely by market optimism that the temporary pause in U.S. military strikes on Iran would remain in place. He noted, however, that oil prices appear increasingly oversold from a technical perspective, having declined roughly $10 to $15/bbl over the past one to two weeks. As a result, crude prices could rebound sharply should the current military pause end or geopolitical tensions re-escalate. He concluded by highlighting key takeaways from Saudi Aramco's 2Q earnings call, noting that management delivered a decidedly bullish message on the outlook for global oil markets. According to Aramco, oil markets are far tighter than many indicators/prices suggest. Aramco noted that global markets lost ~11mmbpd of supply because of the conflict and shipping disruptions; strategic reserve releases and inventory drawdowns have masked the true extent of the shortage; inventory data understates physical market tightness; global inventories have been heavily depleted and must now be rebuilt over several years; and it would take around 18 months and roughly 2.1mmbpd of incremental demand just to restore inventories to pre-conflict levels if conditions normalize immediately. We were fortunate to also have Veriten Venture Partner Karl Liapunov join and share his insights throughout the discussion. Karl is the founder of Starting Cold and is the U.S. Ecosystem Partner at Startuplab, where he previously served as Head of Energy & Climate Tech in Oslo.

In this episode, I answer a question about one of the most uncomfortable moments a child-centered play therapist can experience: when a child tells you to stop talking because your reflections are "annoying." I explain why these moments are often signs of therapeutic progress rather than therapist failure. As children become more vulnerable, our reflections bring subconscious emotions into conscious awareness, and that can feel threatening. I discuss why resistance can emerge in any phase of therapy, how power and control often serve as protection against vulnerability, and why we should view these reactions as the child's work—not evidence that we're causing harm. I also explore the importance of examining our own delivery of CCPT skills. While staying faithful to the model is essential, the way we communicate matters just as much. I share why reviewing your own sessions can help ensure your reflections are congruent, genuine, and grounded in unconditional acceptance. This episode is an encouragement to trust the therapeutic process, remain adherent to the model, and recognize that even when children resist our reflections, meaningful healing may be taking place.

The business is coming. The book is coming. The launch is coming. You've got the vision board, the playlist, and the announcement drafted. So why does nothing ever actually arrive? If you've been fluent in intention and quiet on execution, this episode is for you. Because research suggests announcing your goals can make you less likely to achieve them. Your brain gets rewarded for the announcement like it was the accomplishment. In this episode of Empower On Purpose, Jaresha Moore closes the gap between your mouth and your movement. In this episode, we talk about: The research on why talking about goals feels like progress and stops itThe performance of preparation: courses, planners, and vision boards as entertainmentWhy motivation is not required and action creates it, not the other way aroundImplementation intentions: the simple when and where practice that multiplies follow throughMoving in silence as protection, not paranoiaThe 48 hour rule and the announcement fast This is a conversation about execution, discipline, goal setting, and personal growth for anyone whose dream exists everywhere except reality.

We're starting today's show talking about fireworks, because the Government has decided not to ban their public sale. It comes after Parliament's Petition Committee recommended a ban after considering three petitions with around 93 thousand signatures between them. The decision not to ban private use of fireworks has left animal welfare groups deeply disappointed .. and it's fair to say, a little baffled. We'd love to know what you think about this .. do you think some crackers on the lawn is a bit of fun or well past its used by date? Dr Arnja Dale is SPCA chief scientific officer and chats to Jesse.

Episode Description:Have you ever made a comment about someone's body without realizing your kids were listening? Maybe it was a comment about weight loss, a “good” or “bad” food, or how someone “shouldn't eat that.”In this episode, we are talking about why it's time to stop talking about people's bodies — including our own. As a mom and Registered Dietitian, I'm sharing my own journey of realizing that controlling my kids' food choices wasn't creating the healthy relationship with food I wanted for them.We'll talk about the messages kids are hearing, the impact of diet culture at home, and simple ways we can shift the conversation to help our kids feel confident, capable, and connected to their own bodies.Follow us on INSTAGRAM @dailydietitianrd

Aaron McIntire digs deeper into Dr. Anthony Fauci's diary, including entries where Fauci claims credit for convincing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and California Governor Gavin Newsom's chief of staff Ann O'Leary to shut down schools, bars, and restaurants in 2020, despite later denying he pushed for closures. He notes Senator Mitch McConnell's latest proof of life photo after a two week public silence. Aaron questions whether it's time to stop covering Trump's repeated claims of an Iran military victory after finding an April clip nearly identical to Monday's comments. He reacts to New York City's new city-run grocery store price caps under Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Aaron also revisits a corrected Catholic clergy survey from researcher Ryan Burge, showing 27% of priests, not the earlier reported 47%, agree all religions are equally true, and plays former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb's uncomfortable response when pressed about his past defense of Fauci.

Lindsay just had her first therapy session, and it did not go the direction you'd expect. She's feeling a "solid friendship vibe" with her husb and her therapist says to shut down feelings and stick to facts. He called her in a time of need, Lindsay showed up with Chipotle, quietly packed her Nespresso machine into her purse, ate half his burrito while he was in the bathroom, and left. Meanwhile Cyber went quiet for three days and Chelsea and Lindsay confirmed the weird energy was real and they talked it out. Plus: living together quirks, the world's greatest closet, Chelsea doing laundry every three days whether you want her to or not, and what it actually feels like to be alone for the first time in your life. Send us a textSupport the showLike, subscribe, and share with that one friend who needs a reason to laugh.

The conversation begins with a book about Japanese onomatopoeia, which Yuko highly recommends for both Japanese learners and teachers because it makes a difficult topic approachable and enjoyable.They then move on to Kūshin Techō, a novel about a woman who tells a lie about being pregnant after becoming frustrated with how she is treated at work. The discussion explores why readers may sympathize with the character and how the story raises interesting questions about honesty, social expectations, and personal survival.A major part of the episode focuses on Cafe no Kaerimichi, a novel set from the Taishō era into the postwar period. Both hosts praise its portrayal of women who pursue freedom and independence despite social limitations. The historical setting, fashion, work culture, and everyday life of women from that era make the novel especially engaging.They also talk about Asai Ryō's essay collection Soshite Daremo Yutoranakunatta, highlighting its humorous stories of personal mistakes and social awkwardness.Finally, they discuss Taiwan Manyū Tetsudō no Futari, a Taiwanese novel that combines friendship, food, history, and reflections on the complex relationship between colonizer and colonized. The book leaves a strong impression and inspires curiosity about Taiwan and its history.

You decided this morning you weren't drinking tonight. Then 5pm rolls around, the day was long, and the debate starts: "Maybe just one. I don't want to be left out. I'll start fresh Monday."In this episode, I'm sharing a very personal story about coming off anti-anxiety medication and sleep aids during our move to Lisbon, the brutal side effects nobody warned me about, and the two nights I barely slept at all.What got me through was one skill: allowing the discomfort WHILE my brain also wanted to talk me out of it.In this episode, you'll learn: My experience stopping a low-dose anti-anxiety and what the withdrawal was actually like (brain zaps, body aches, sleepless nights, stomach issues.. all of it) Why I decided to come off everything before walking the Camino, including sleep aids The difference between allowing discomfort and white-knuckling through it Why deciding ahead of time changes everything, and how the 2 am moment becomes just following through Quick note: this is my personal experience with medication. Always talk to your doctor before starting or stopping anything. This is not medical advice.www.angelamascenik.com
