BB28 Wednesday Live Feed Update July 22, 2026 Watch this podcast on YouTube! Big Brother 28 rolls into Day 15 with alliances brewing and the eviction question up in the air. Host Taran Armstrong and guest Matt break down all the drama and strategy in this recap episode, weighing shifting alliance lines, campaign efforts, and the chances of a vote flip as the house braces for the next eviction. This episode, the spotlight is on Devens, who not only wins HoH but also secures the Veto. Devens initially nominates Lyric, Melody, and Jason, later pulling Lyric off the block in favor of Rome. Campaigning is in full swing, with Rome and Jason making distinct pitches for their survival, while Melody holds steady on the block with little panic. The house is reconfiguring socially too: new alliances solidify, like the Honor Society with Angela, Dee, Lala, and Taylor, while others—like Drew and Barrett’s “Jugglers”—plot in their corners. Haley's growing influence is noted, as she navigates between alliances and offers steady social groundwork. Meanwhile, the campaign to save Melody or flip the vote remains centered on whether Angela will change her mind, with Dee and Haley floating the idea but running into a solid wall. Fun highlights include Taylor's recurring vampire vs. werewolf debate and playful house shenanigans. Taran Armstrong points out how Devens’s nominations and Veto win shape the week's gameplay and create new alliance dynamics. Matt highlights the impact of Angela's firm stance on eviction, noting she alone keeps the Melody vote locked. Both hosts track Drew's growing paranoia from Angela and Dee, and note how this could affect future alliances. Matt spotlights Taylor's boost in house mood, and the day's light-hearted moments amid strategy talks. Strategic blunders in Rome and Jason's campaigns come up, with neither swaying the main power group. As the eviction looms, all eyes remain on Angela—will her resolve hold, or will someone finally convince her to change the plan? With new alliances forming and influence shifting, who will seize power in the next HoH? Listen now for every alliance twist, campaign flop, and social shake-up inside the Big Brother 28 house.

Lindsay explains why someone can be “too lean” to effectively build muscle even if they're eating at maintenance and maintaining body weight. She argues maintenance calories don't automatically mean an optimal physiological environment for growth because the body also evaluates energy reserves (body fat), recovery, training stress, sleep, and hormone signals like leptin, plus changes in estrogen and thyroid hormones that affect performance and recovery. Topics discussed:(00:00) - Welcome (01:31) - Social Media Body Bias (06:51) - Maintenance vs Reserves (08:08) - Budgeting Analogy Explained (11:58) - Hormones and Leptin (16:36) - Menopause Muscle Reality (18:58) - For Who and What Goal?

In this episode of NucleCast, Adam sits down with Paul Amato for an in-depth discussion on the role of theater nuclear weapons in maintaining U.S. deterrence and strategic stability. Drawing on historical lessons from the Cold War and examining today's evolving security environment, they explore why low-yield nuclear capabilities remain an important component of U.S. defense strategy.The conversation examines Russian and Chinese nuclear approaches, the development of low-yield nuclear options in the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review, and the operational realities of deploying and sustaining theater nuclear forces. Amato explains how capability diversity, alliance assurance, and extended deterrence contribute to strategic stability and why maintaining credible options across the escalation spectrum is critical to deterring adversaries.They also discuss common misconceptions about low-yield weapons, the importance of capability symmetry, and what the future nuclear force structure may require as global threats continue to evolve.Paul Amato is the Principal Advisor for Strategic and Nuclear Deterrence at CNA. He is also a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security. From 2016-2025, Amato was director of nuclear deterrence policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy, where he and his team led all facets of nuclear deterrence policy development, implementation and allied extended deterrence, including overseeing development and implementation of both the 2018 and 2022 Nuclear Posture Reviews. His experience includes more than a decade as an attorney in private practice, and over twenty-eight years of active and reserve service in the US Marine Corps. Amato is a graduate of Franklin & Marshall College and the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. The views he expresses in this podcast are his own.

Eric welcomes back friend of the show Professor Hal Brands, the Henry A. Kissinger Distinguished Professor of Global Studies at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies. The two discuss Hal's recent work, beginning with his column in Bloomberg dissecting the key strategic errors that Trump has made in the ongoing war with Iran. Hal then breaks down his recent essay with Michael Beckley in Foreign Affairs, which examines global conflict through the lens of "heartland" and "rimland" coalitions. Finally, they turn to Hal's latest edited volume which brings together essays by a large group of scholars considering the many ways that AI may change the nature of international affairs, the conduct of war, and global order. Hal Brands' latest in Bloomberg:https://www.aei.org/op-eds/trumps-iran-blunder-shows-strategy-can-defeat-firepower/Hal Brands & Michael Beckley's latest in Foreign Affairs:https://www.foreignaffairs.com/china/heartland-vs-rimland-beckley-brandsThe Geopolitics of AI: Power, Conflict, and the Future of Global Order:Free PDF via Johns Hopkins University Press Hard copy via AmazonShield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

Every unnecessary yes steals time from something that could change your life. Your calendar is not just a schedule. It is a reflection of your priorities. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why saying no is essential for protecting your energy, maintaining focus, and making progress on the work that actually grows your business. Your time is a limited resource. When you give it away to pointless meetings, low-value opportunities, and people who never take action, you lose the energy required to execute your biggest moves. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why every low-value commitment takes time away from a bigger opportunity• How people-pleasing weakens your focus and productivity• Why strong leaders do not need to apologize for protecting their schedules• How clear boundaries create more time for business, family, and high-level execution The truth is simple: You cannot buy more time. But you can stop giving it away. Decline the distractions. Protect your best hours. Reserve your energy for the people and opportunities that truly matter. When you master the strategic no, every yes becomes more powerful. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

This is the eighth sermon in a nine part sermon series on the Strategic Anchors for CCPC. Jim Gates 7-19-2026 Strategic Anchors: Changing Individual Hearts

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of industry-shaping events, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of drug development, regulatory challenges, and strategic maneuvers. In a significant move within the sector, Jasper Therapeutics has merged with Kira Pharmaceuticals, a strategic decision aimed at expanding its footprint in autoimmune therapeutics. This merger brings to Jasper a valuable asset in KP-104, a dual-inhibitor with the potential to address rare diseases—an area of considerable unmet need. Such consolidations highlight an industry trend where companies seek to bolster their portfolios with promising candidates that can tackle complex medical conditions. The merger exemplifies how strategic expansions are becoming increasingly integral to maintaining competitive edges in the biotech arena. Turning to clinical trials, Takeda's Zasocitinib has demonstrated promising results for patients suffering from moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. In Phase 3 trials, a significant 75% of patients achieved clearance of scalp psoriasis. Zasocitinib operates as a TYK2 inhibitor, targeting the IL-23 pathway—a crucial mechanism in autoimmune diseases like psoriasis. This breakthrough promises to enhance patient care by providing a more effective treatment option for those struggling with difficult-to-treat psoriasis. On the regulatory front, Novartis' Fabhalta (Iptacopan) has gained FDA approval for its role in slowing kidney function decline in patients with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy. As a small molecule complement inhibitor, Iptacopan introduces a novel treatment class for this autoimmune kidney disorder. This approval underscores ongoing innovation within nephrology and offers renewed hope for improved patient outcomes. Recent regulatory updates also saw Novartis securing full FDA approval for Fabhalta—an affirmation of progress in addressing immunoglobulin A nephropathy through innovative therapeutic options. Business development remains a driving force in shaping industry landscapes. The acquisition of Mission Therapeutics' AKI candidate MTX652 by Dimerix is a prime example. This $5 million deal, with potential milestones up to $292 million, reflects high stakes and ambitions to advance treatments for acute kidney injuries—a field with significant unmet medical needs. The integration of artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize drug discovery processes. Aqemia's collaboration with Sanofi highlights this trend, showcasing AI's crucial role in expediting drug development and uncovering novel therapeutic targets. Their partnership potentially worth $140 million underscores AI's transformative potential within pharmaceutical research. Notably, Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna's foray into AI-powered protein design signifies an exciting intersection between gene-editing technology and artificial intelligence. Her involvement signals potential revolutions in drug discovery through enhanced precision in protein engineering. However, regulatory challenges persistently loom over the industry. Novo Nordisk and Alvotech have faced FDA scrutiny concerning manufacturing deficiencies—an issue that accentuates the importance of stringent quality control and operational excellence in biologics manufacturing. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) report on U.S. drug shortages during Q2 2026 reveals vulnerabilities within supply chains, notably impacting oncology drugs. These shortages emphasize the critical need for robust strategies to ensure consistent drug availability for essential therapies. Furthermore, geopolitical dynamics are influencing pharmaceutical supply chains. A U.S. Senate bill aimed at increasing transparency highlights concerns over China's dominance in drug ingredient supplies—an issue necessitating strategic adjustments by globally operating companies. Elsewhere within the sector, GSK made headlines by discontinuing the development of its chronic cough treatment camlipixant following mixed Phase 3 trial results—a setback illustrating the critical nature of trial outcomes in determining drug viability and market potential. In market trends, biotech IPOs have surged during the first half of 2026—a sign of robust investor interest fueled by innovations and favorable funding environments despite associated market volatility risks. Strategic adjustments continue across companies with mergers and acquisitions leading to workforce reductions—projected layoffs exceeding 14,000 within biopharma during H1 2026—as organizations streamline operations or pivot towards more promising research domains. Lastly, Merck's FDA approval for an oral PCSK9 inhibitor marks a significant achievement in cardiovascular care—representing another stride forward in therapeutic innovation. In summary, these developments encapsulate a landscape defined by scientific pursuits yielding mixed results amidst evolving regulatory interactions and strategic realignments—all contributing towards innovative healthcare solutions while navigating complex industry dynamics.Support the show

Silicon Bites Ep370 | 2026-07-19 | At half past one this morning, Sunday the 19th of July, the explosions started again in Kyiv. Forty-one missiles and 125 drones launched across Ukraine overnight — twenty-five of them ballistic — and most of the missiles, in Zelensky's own assessment, aimed at the capital. Three people killed in Kyiv at a minimum – 20 or more across the country. At least sixteen wounded – though the tally is rising through the day as rescue efforts continue. Fires burning in five districts of the city. Residential buildings, offices, a student dormitory, industrial premises — hit and ablaze, per the State Emergency Service.Has Putin lost his mind? Can he really think that this kind of mass terror strike is effective? The terror is real — but look closer: this is the logistics war, scaling up in real time, and Russia's vertical empire is losing it. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires. Dzyga's Paw, together with Jonathan Fink, is joining forces to raise $40,000 to provide the Khartiia Brigade with Vampire Drones.https://dzygaspaw.com/silicon-curtain-for-kupiansk-vampiresThese heavy bombers are designed to destroy manpower and equipment, as well as for remote mining. The Vampire UAV, manufactured by Skyfall, has proven itself to be one of the most effective weapons in the Kupiansk direction.

BB28 Saturday Live Feed Update July 18, 2026 Also available on YouTube. Big Brother 28 is full of chaos as alliances redraw and trust breaks in dramatic fashion. Host Taran Armstrong teams up with guest Matt Liguori for a live feed recap, diving into day 11's fallout after nominations, secret meetings, and emotional confrontations rock the house. Devens is HoH and triggers a power shift by considering a big move against Rome, with Angela fueling talk of a backdoor plan. The Tool Shed alliance forms after a major group meeting, intentionally locking out Rome, Jason, and Lyric, who quickly realize they're on the outs. The day sees Drew and Barrett, supposed moles, try to keep both sides appeased while houseguests debate who's really loyal to whom. Nominations land on Jason, Lyric, and Melody, sparking breakdowns (including a tearful Lala and a “messy bitch” exchange between Jason and Angela, with Angela in an egg costume after failing the time capsule comp). Strategic conversations shift as Melody scrambles to survive, alliances wobble, and Rome's emotional apology tour continues, punctuated by heated arguments and even barking. Taran highlights the Tool Shed alliance meeting and its effect on Rome, Jason, and Lyric's sense of isolation. Matt points out Rome's “apology tour” and the sleep deprivation that might fuel his decision-making and outbursts. Devens as HoH, with Angela's failed time capsule power, shifts worries about the vets' control and gives outsiders hope. Melody, seeing no loyalty from her former group, works angles with Drew and Devens, opening the door for a flip. Wild nomination ceremony drama: Angela's egg costume, Jason's outbursts, and constant house sobbing keep emotions high. Power stays shaky as alliances test each other's loyalty and houseguests scramble to survive.

BB28 Saturday Live Feed Update July 18, 2026 Also available on YouTube. Big Brother 28 is full of chaos as alliances redraw and trust breaks in dramatic fashion. Host Taran Armstrong teams up with guest Matt Liguori for a live feed recap, diving into day 11's fallout after nominations, secret meetings, and emotional confrontations rock the house. Devens is HoH and triggers a power shift by considering a big move against Rome, with Angela fueling talk of a backdoor plan. The Tool Shed alliance forms after a major group meeting, intentionally locking out Rome, Jason, and Lyric, who quickly realize they're on the outs. The day sees Drew and Barrett, supposed moles, try to keep both sides appeased while houseguests debate who's really loyal to whom. Nominations land on Jason, Lyric, and Melody, sparking breakdowns (including a tearful Lala and a “messy bitch” exchange between Jason and Angela, with Angela in an egg costume after failing the time capsule comp). Strategic conversations shift as Melody scrambles to survive, alliances wobble, and Rome's emotional apology tour continues, punctuated by heated arguments and even barking. Taran highlights the Tool Shed alliance meeting and its effect on Rome, Jason, and Lyric's sense of isolation. Matt points out Rome's “apology tour” and the sleep deprivation that might fuel his decision-making and outbursts. Devens as HoH, with Angela's failed time capsule power, shifts worries about the vets' control and gives outsiders hope. Melody, seeing no loyalty from her former group, works angles with Drew and Devens, opening the door for a flip. Wild nomination ceremony drama: Angela's egg costume, Jason's outbursts, and constant house sobbing keep emotions high. Power stays shaky as alliances test each other's loyalty and houseguests scramble to survive. Will anyone manage to flip the vote, or is the majority too strong with Devens and Angela running the show?

At levels 1 through 4, the 2014 Monk is a beautiful dream: you punch, you kick, you spend ki like a raccoon with a stolen credit card. Then levels 5 through 20 arrive, and suddenly the class asks, "Would you like to stun a dragon, run across a lake, catch a missile, become immune to poison, astral project emotionally, and still somehow worry about running out of ki before lunch?" This episode dives into the Monk's awkward, glorious, high-speed middle and late game, where every turn is a choice between tactical brilliance and blowing your entire budget on Flurry of Blows because punching four times feels spiritually correct. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the team continues the 2014 DnD 5e Monk breakdown by moving beyond the early levels and into the part of the class where things get weird, fast, and occasionally very effective. Levels 5 through 20 are where the Monk picks up its signature battlefield identity: mobility, disruption, defensive tricks, and the ability to make enemy spellcasters deeply regret standing within sprinting distance. The discussion centers on what Monks actually do well once Extra Attack, Stunning Strike, and higher-level ki features come online. This is not just about throwing more punches. It is about choosing when to spend ki, when to conserve it, which enemies deserve a Stunning Strike attempt, and how to use the Monk's speed to pressure weak points instead of face-tanking like a fighter with worse armor and better hamstrings. The episode also looks at the Monk's scaling problem. The class gains a lot of flavorful and useful features, but its damage can start to lag behind other martial characters unless the player leans into the Monk's strengths. That means playing like a skirmisher, controller, mage-hunter, and mobile problem solver rather than trying to win every fight by standing still and trading hits. By the late game, features like Evasion, Diamond Soul, Empty Body, and improved movement turn the Monk into something incredibly hard to pin down. You may not always be the biggest damage dealer at the table, but you can be the character who crosses the map, ruins the villain's concentration, survives the fireball, and then politely explains that gravity is more of a suggestion than a rule. Key Takeaways Level 5 is the Monk's big glow-up. Extra Attack and Stunning Strike dramatically change how the class plays, giving the Monk real battlefield control instead of just more ways to punch things. Stunning Strike is powerful, but expensive. It can shut down dangerous enemies, but burning ki on every hit is a fast road to becoming a lightly armored commoner with martial arts branding. Monks are skirmishers, not front-line tanks. Their speed, mobility, and defensive tools work best when they pick targets carefully, disrupt key enemies, and avoid getting surrounded. Ki management is the entire game. Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, Step of the Wind, Stunning Strike, and subclass abilities all compete for the same limited resource, so every choice matters. The Monk is excellent at harassing casters and fragile backline enemies. High movement speed and multiple attacks make the Monk great at reaching enemies who thought they were safely hiding behind the big monsters. Defensive features become a major strength. Evasion, Stillness of Mind, Purity of Body, Diamond Soul, and Empty Body all help the Monk survive effects that can ruin other characters. Damage scaling can be frustrating. The Monk gets more options and survivability, but it may struggle to keep pace with optimized martial builds in raw damage. Ability scores are tight. Monks usually want Dexterity, Wisdom, and Constitution, which makes feats tempting but costly. Late-game Monks are weird in the best way. Running up walls, ignoring poison, surviving saving throws, turning invisible, and resisting damage all support the fantasy of a supernatural martial artist. The best Monk play is tactical, not automatic. The class rewards players who think about positioning, target priority, resource timing, and when not to spend ki just because the button is shiny.

On The Power Vertical Podcast this week, host Brian Whitmore speaks with Michael Carpenter, a senior fellow for Transatlantic Affairs at the International Institute for Strategic Studies who served in the administration of former President Joe Biden as the NSC's Senior Director for Europe and U.S. Ambassador to the OSCE and in the administration of Barack Obama as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia; and Max Bergmann, director of the Europe and Russia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who served as a member of the Secretary of State's Policy Planning Staff and as a speechwriter for former Secretary of State John Kerry.

Then come the numbers. A Center for Strategic and International Studies report covering 1994 through 2020 found that right-wing extremists carried out the large majority of domestic terrorist attacks and plots in the United States, roughly two-thirds in 2019 and over 90 percent in early 2020, and were responsible for 335 of 357 domestic terror deaths across that period, about 93 percent. None of that appears in Miller's speech. Hawk's argument is that "political terrorist" here functions as a label for anyone who disagrees with Donald Trump, not a description of violence. He points to Republicans controlling the House, Senate, White House, and Supreme Court as evidence against the radical-left-domination framing, and asks basic questions about an organization no one can locate.

Last week Christian called Vista's rumored bid for Criteo "cheap" and left it at a throwaway line: three to four times.. what? A few people texted him afterward and said he could have done better; he agreed.So this week, solo from an undisclosed location while Ayelet celebrates her 30th in LA, Christian goes deep. A full side-by-side of Criteo and LiveRamp, a walkthrough of why the multiple gap between them makes almost no sense on the financials, and a concrete bull case: pay $58 a share, a 200%+ premium, then run an M&A play to build the agentic commerce OS for brands and retail.The thesis isn't buy it cheap. It's buy it decisively.What we cover: Who actually leaked the Vista story (and why Criteo's repeated phantom-deal leaks are a comms problem), the Criteo vs. LiveRamp side-by-side on revenue growth, revenue mix, EBITDA, and free cash flow, why LiveRamp's 107% net retention is at real risk once Publicis owns it, why Criteo's transactional model might be the safer bet in an agentic era where subscription pricing is under fire, the AI option value nobody's pricing in, and three specific M&A targets that would fix Criteo's biggest gap: no Amazon, no Walmart.Plus two deals worth flagging: Podean's fifth acquisition (Social Commerce Club) and Brunner buying AdSkate.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:26 — Solo episode, life changes, and happy 30th to Ayelet 0:50 — Why we're revisiting Criteo/Vista: "you really could have done better" 1:30 — The backstory: Bloomberg, Reuters, and a 50% premium at ~$3.7B implied 2:00 — Who leaked it?

The evidence is becoming increasingly clear. Chy-nah has been involved in American elections. Some of their frauds had assistance and involve Chy-nah messing with our voter roles. It's all a left training ground for targeting elections. Where are the convincing masses now. Very few know this is all foreign funded. People were duped. Integrating strategies for neighborhood treason. Grey money comes in thru grants. People don't do their homework. The machines are foreign made. Chips, boards, modems and components. The off-the-shelf trap. The left plans for faster, leaner 501C3 activist groups. They refer to losing as election sabotage. When fraud is exposed it's called election denial. 500 thousand leftists recruited to swamp election observing. Deep organization and detailed instruction manuals assist their game plan. Ohio serves as an example. It's a long list of election night strategies. Technology is never secure. How to burn ballots right. Strategic fires in printing facilities justify suspicious moves.The fiscal hops and jumps that funding does. Our President is surrounded by money grubbers. People need to start stepping up. Nothing has been done about corrupt voting machines, so the midterms cannot be held. This is about our country's survival.

228. Closing the Leadership Perception Gap   Most high-performing leaders believe that exceptional work will naturally lead to recognition and promotion. Unfortunately, organizations don't make leadership decisions using perfect information. Executives make decisions based on what they've observed, what they've heard from trusted leaders, and the evidence available to them. If your leadership isn't visible, your value may never become part of that evidence. In this episode, Sue explains why performance and perception are not the same thing, introduces the idea of the Leadership Perception Gap, and shares practical ways to make your leadership easier for decision-makers to recognize. If you've ever wondered why someone less capable seemed to get the opportunity you wanted, this conversation may completely change how you think about leadership visibility.   Key Takeaways Performance earns credibility. Readiness earns promotion. Strategic visibility helps decision-makers recognize your readiness. Leadership communication is not self-promotion. Organizations can only evaluate the information they have. Creating value drives performance. Communicating value creates opportunity.Top of FormBottom of Form   Connect with Susan M.

Authority building has become one of the most valuable competitive advantages available to business owners, consultants, speakers, franchise leaders, and subject matter experts. In an era where artificial intelligence can generate endless content and consumers are overwhelmed with information, credibility remains a powerful differentiator. One of the most effective ways to establish that credibility is through a business book. While many professionals still view publishing as a vanity project, the most successful authors approach books differently. They see a book as intellectual property, a business asset, and a tool that can create opportunities long after publication. Rather than focusing solely on book sales, they focus on how a book supports larger business objectives such as attracting clients, securing speaking engagements, building trust, and expanding influence. The distinction is important. A business card provides contact information. A well-written book demonstrates expertise. When a prospect, client, event organizer, investor, or strategic partner receives a book, they immediately gain insight into the author's thinking, experience, and perspective. Even before reading every page, the existence of the book often creates a perception of authority that can open doors to conversations and opportunities that might not otherwise occur. This is one reason authority building through business books continues to thrive despite dramatic changes in technology and media. Digital platforms have made it easier than ever to publish content. Social media allows anyone to share opinions. Podcasts provide a platform for countless voices. AI tools can generate articles, summaries, and marketing materials in seconds. Yet books continue to carry unique weight. Writing a book requires commitment, structure, expertise, and a willingness to organize knowledge into a format that delivers value to readers. The process itself signals a level of dedication that shorter forms of content often cannot match. For many business leaders, a book becomes the foundation for an entire authority-building strategy. The ideas within the book can be repurposed into keynote presentations, workshops, articles, podcast appearances, training programs, consulting frameworks, videos, and educational resources. Rather than creating content from scratch every week, professionals can build from a central body of intellectual property that reinforces a consistent message across multiple channels. This approach creates leverage. Instead of constantly chasing attention, authors position themselves as experts whose ideas can be shared repeatedly through multiple formats. The book becomes a centerpiece that supports broader business development efforts. Another common misconception is that publishing success is measured solely by the number of books sold. While sales matter, many authors generate far greater value from the opportunities created by the book than from royalty income. Speaking engagements, consulting contracts, coaching relationships, strategic partnerships, and media exposure often provide a significantly larger return on investment than book sales alone. This shift in perspective changes how a book is developed. Rather than asking, "How many copies can I sell?" successful authors often ask, "What business outcome do I want this book to support?" The answer may vary depending on the author's goals. A consultant may use a book to attract ideal clients. A speaker may use a book to establish credibility with meeting planners. An entrepreneur may use a book to increase visibility within a specific industry. A founder may use a book to strengthen personal brand recognition and position the company as an industry leader. Regardless of the objective, clarity about the intended audience remains critical. The strongest business books are not written for everyone. They are written for a specific reader facing a specific challenge. Authors who clearly understand their audience can create content that resonates, provides practical value, and builds trust more effectively than those who attempt to appeal to a broad market. This audience-first approach also influences how a book is marketed. Many professionals spend months writing a manuscript only to realize later that they have not clearly defined who the book serves or what outcome it delivers. By identifying the target audience and desired result early in the process, authors can create stronger positioning, more compelling messaging, and a more effective authority-building strategy. The rise of self-publishing has further expanded opportunities for experts to share their knowledge. In the past, authors often depended on traditional publishing houses to determine which ideas reached the marketplace. Today, professionals have more options than ever before. High-quality self-publishing allows experts to maintain control of their intellectual property while bringing valuable ideas directly to readers. However, increased accessibility has also created new challenges. As barriers to publication have decreased, the number of books entering the marketplace has increased dramatically. This makes quality more important than ever. Readers have countless options competing for their attention. Poorly written, poorly edited, or poorly positioned books can damage credibility rather than enhance it. Successful authority building requires thoughtful planning, professional execution, and a commitment to delivering meaningful value. This challenge has become even more pronounced with the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence. AI tools can assist authors with brainstorming, research, outlining, editing, and content development. Used appropriately, these technologies can improve efficiency and help professionals organize their ideas more effectively. But authority building still depends on authenticity. Readers connect with personal experiences, unique perspectives, original insights, and real-world expertise. A book that relies entirely on AI-generated content may communicate information, but it often lacks the human perspective that creates trust and connection. The most successful authors understand that technology should support expertise, not replace it. AI can help accelerate the process. It cannot replace the experiences, lessons, stories, and insights that make an author's perspective valuable. This human element is what transforms a book from a collection of information into a powerful authority-building tool. Another often-overlooked aspect of authority building is what happens after publication. Many authors focus intensely on writing the book and relatively little on leveraging it. Yet publication is often the beginning rather than the end of the journey. Strategic promotion, podcast appearances, speaking opportunities, media outreach, email marketing, and content repurposing all help maximize the impact of a book. Authors who actively share their ideas and engage with audiences typically generate significantly greater results than those who simply publish and wait for readers to discover them. In many ways, a book serves as a platform rather than a destination. It provides a vehicle for sharing expertise, demonstrating credibility, and creating opportunities that extend well beyond the pages themselves. Authority building has always been important in business. What has changed is the number of channels available for communicating expertise and the speed at which information travels. Despite those changes, one principle remains consistent. People want to learn from individuals they trust. A well-crafted business book remains one of the most effective ways to establish that trust, communicate expertise, and create lasting influence. For professionals looking to expand their visibility, strengthen their reputation, and create new opportunities, authority building through business books continues to be one of the smartest investments they can make.

More than a billion barrels of expected oil supply have been removed from the market. Yet prices suggest the danger has passed. Adam Rozencwajg joins Cem Karsan and Niels Kaastrup-Larsen to explain why that conclusion may be dangerously premature. The missing barrels have not disappeared from the equation. Their impact is still moving through tankers, refineries and inventories, hidden by reporting delays and China's strategic response.

The Biblical Office of the Evangelist: Restoring God's Harvesters for the Last Days | KIB 539 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description The Church desperately needs to rediscover the biblical office of the evangelist. In Episode 539 of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael Lake continues his series on the biblical Fivefold Ministry by examining what Scripture actually teaches about the office of the evangelist. Far removed from modern celebrity culture and emotional revivalism, the true evangelist is a herald of God's Kingdom who faithfully proclaims the Gospel, calls sinners to repentance, equips believers for soul-winning, and establishes disciples for Christ. Mary Lou Lake begins this episode by sharing an encouraging word on God's promise to quicken His people (Romans 8:11), praying for healing, restoration, renewed strength, and spiritual refreshing for the remnant. She also discusses the importance of strategic prayer for our nation, including praying over spiritual strongholds influencing Washington, D.C. Dr. Lake then explores the biblical foundations of the evangelist through the ministries of Noah, Jonah, Isaiah, John the Baptist, Philip, Timothy, and ultimately Jesus Himself. This study challenges many modern assumptions while calling believers back to authentic New Testament ministry built upon repentance, discipleship, holiness, and covenant faithfulness. This message is an important continuation of our Fivefold Ministry series and serves as a call for God to raise up true evangelists who will prepare the harvest before the return of Christ. Scriptures Discussed Ephesians 4:11–16 2 Peter 2:5 Isaiah 52:7 Luke 19:10 Acts 8 2 Timothy 4:5 Mark 16:20 Romans 8:11 Psalm 85:6 Psalm 119:25 Psalm 119:88 Psalm 119:107 Psalm 119:149 2 Kings 22 Matthew 28:18–20 Topics Covered ✔ What is the biblical office of the evangelist? ✔ Why today's Church misunderstands evangelism ✔ Noah as a preacher of righteousness ✔ John the Baptist as the model evangelist ✔ Philip the Evangelist and Spirit-led ministry ✔ Why true evangelism produces disciples—not merely decisions ✔ The relationship between evangelists and the Fivefold Ministry ✔ Spiritual revival versus emotionalism ✔ God's promise to quicken His people ✔ Strategic intercession for America ✔ The importance of covenant faithfulness Join the Remnant If these teachings strengthen your walk with Christ: ✅ Subscribe to Biblical Life TV ✅ Like this video ✅ Share it with others who desire deeper biblical truth ✅ Leave a comment below telling us what stood out to you most from today's study.

It's Tuesday, July 14th, 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, Timothy Reed and Adam McManus Fulani Muslim militia most deadly force against Christians The Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa has issued a study on terror-related violence on the Dark Continent. The group revealed that the Fulani Muslim militia is by far the most deadly force in the persecution of Christians worldwide. They kill Christians at a rate 4.4 times that of other Muslims. Thus far, they have killed 79,323 people in six years — amounting to 36 people a day. They kill at 3 times the rate of Boko Haram. That's twenty times the number of people that have been killed in the US-Iran war this year.  Senegal, Africa: Marriage is between one man and one woman The National Assembly of the West African country of Senegal has defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Homosexuality is still legal in 21 out of 54 African countries. So far, homosexual faux marriage has been incorporated in one nation -- South Africa. U.S.-Iran war is back on America's war with Iran is back on, and the Middle East is in flames.   The U.S. military bombed dozens of military targets yesterday. The Saudis also bombed the Yemen airport. The Houthi-controlled Yemeni government is an ally with Iran in the present war. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reports a depletion of one-third to one-half of American Patriot, Tomahawk, and Terminal High Altitude Areas Defense missiles. At current rates, the replenishment will take four years. This does not include the use of missiles during the period of May through July.  Trump Meme coin tanked; Bitcoin down by 50% The Trump Meme coin has tanked — costing investors $3.8 billion. The president received $636 million from the venture, according to a recent financial disclosure.  However, Bitcoin has also lost half its value since the Trump election in November 2024. Total losses are running about $2.2 trillion for investors. Gold capitalization has increased about 3% since November 2025. 122,000 American layoffs The website Layoffs.fyi records 122,000 layoffs this year. That's the highest rate in four years.  Amazon is leading the pack for corporate layoffs with a total of 30,000 layoffs over the last nine months. America produces more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia America is now, by far, the largest oil producer in the world — now producing 42% more than Saudi Arabia, and 37% more than Russia. Back in 2008, the United States produced about half of what Saudi Arabia and Russia produced. That has changed dramatically in the last 17 years.  GOP Senator Mitch McConnell rejects rumors he's braindead Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky broke the silence and intrigue surrounding his lengthy hospital stay. Rumors had swirled that the senator was braindead or under cardiac arrest after he was transferred to the hospital. The senator has clarified that he had suffered a fall, but he did not break bones or suffer a concussion. Senator Lindsey Graham met his maker Longtime Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina went to meet his Maker on Saturday night. According to the D.C. office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Graham died of a ruptured aorta brought on by chronic heart disease. Graham, age 71, was never married and never had children. SC Gov appointed Lindsey Graham's sister to serve remainder of term South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster announced Monday that he has appointed the late Senator's sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to serve the remainder of his term. When Lindsey Graham was 20, his mother died of Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 50, and his father died 15 months later of a heart attack at age 68. Because his sister, then 13 years old, was left orphaned, the service allowed Graham to attend the University of South Carolina in Columbia so he could remain near home as his sister's legal guardian. Here's a portion of Governor McMaster's press conference. McMASTER: “Today, under the law, it's my duty and honor to name someone to serve in the place this extraordinary man for the remainder of his term. “Lindsey took care of his little sister in years long departed. It's my honor to ask his little sister, Darlene Graham, to finish his work for him now. “And by the way, Darlene, I don't know if I told you, but after we spoke on the phone in the wee hours of Sunday morning, and you agreed to serve, through tears. Earlier, I had wondered what you would say, and I was humbled by your quickness to see the duty that you had to serve. “I called the president afterwards, and he thought it was a great idea, and I'm sure that everyone here does as well.” Obamacare premiums going higher Obamacare premiums are jacking up another 14% for next year.   That follows a 20% increase last year. The Peterson-KFF organization notes that the program lost three million members so far this year — now at a total of 19.2 million enrollments.  The average family of four pays $24,000 into Obamacare for this year, and $27,000 next year.  That compares to Samaritan Ministries Christian medical sharing that runs about $8,000 per year.  Hospitals treated COVID-shot rejectors as “plagued rats” Psalm 146:3 instructs us: “to not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.” Recent Centers for Disease Control numbers indicate that 80% of Americans got at least one COVID shot. U.S. death rates, based on 2019 numbers, rose 17% in 2020 during the COVID crisis. After the vaccine came out in early 2021, the death rate increased again by 23% over 2019 levels. Then, the death rate increased by 16% in 2022. Death rates did not reduce to 2019 levels until 2024. Last year's death rate actually registered 4% less than 2019. Former trauma surgeon Dr. James Miller told podcast host Alix Mayer that those who did not take the Covid shot, after its rollout, were treated differently in hospitals, and in an inhumane manner, like “plagued rats.” Listen. MILLER: “Absolutely, the vaccinated and unvaccinated were treated differently. They started just denying basic health services to unvaccinated people, which spurned not giving diabetes medicine [and] you can't go see your family doctor. "Now, you could still get emergency care in the ER, but 100% you were treated differently. You were treated as a dirty, plagued rat. And this was common in social media. But it was no different in the hospital. The medical community is no different.” Next, Dr. Miller spoke of The Overton Window referring to the moment when an argument becomes politically acceptable to the mainstream population. In this case, it is more acceptable now, in 2026, for Americans to express their distrust of the medical establishment about how it handled the COVID shot rollout and how it mistreated the unvaccinated 20% of the population. The term, The Overton Window, is named after the American policy analyst Joseph Overton. Listen. MILLER: “I think part of why this is such a good time to talk about this is I think The Overton Window has shifted on the discussion. I think all people have realized the medical care system did not meet their expectations during COVID. “I think most people thought, before COVID, when you go to the doctor, they're going to help you out a bit, and you're going to get better, and they're going to wish you well. I think most people thought when I'm really sick, I'm going to go to the hospital and they're gonna help me out a lot and do their best and get me well. “After COVID, most people realized their doctors were there for themselves. Their doctors were more than happy to give them a toxic substance that would hurt them, like the COVID injection. And I think most people came to see that the hospitals were really killing fields.” 28 Georgia inmates got baptized after Bible studies The Grady County, Georgia Sheriff's department issued an official announcement over the weekend: 28 inmates got baptized! They had been faithfully attending Bible studies throughout the week, and confessed their faith in Christ.   The announcement said, “Together, we gathered in prayer, lifted our voices in worship, and celebrated these life-changing decisions. Moments like these serve as a reminder that hope, grace, and redemption are possible for everyone.” Back in March, another 14 inmates were baptized at a Franklin County jailhouse in Florida, according to Channel 7 News. PASTOR: “I'm going to baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And I'm baptizing you in the power of that cross I'm talking about today. All right, ready?” These inmates also attended Bible studies each week and heard sermons from local pastors. Inmate Ethan Vonier became a Christian behind bars. VONIER: “I found Christ in jail. I feel like the good Lord put me here. We're all doing better each day.” And inmate Robert Hill was grateful for a fresh start and a Biblical destiny. HILL: “It's a new beginning. Everybody in here probably wants a new beginning. You know, he gives it to you. You know what I mean? Gives you a fresh start.  Jeremiah 29:11 -- He has a plan for me. I know it. I want it. I'm going to get it.” Psalm 107:10-14 tells the story: “Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, bound in affliction and irons—because they rebelled against the words of God, and despised the counsel of the Most High. Therefore, He brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help. Then, they cried out to the Lord in their trouble and He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Virginia and Texas Joseph Holt, age 20, at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, wrote me to say, “Thanks for faithfully presenting the news every morning. I like your podcast because it's short and concise. I can get a briefing on the news while I'm brushing my teeth in the morning before work or school starts. You present the facts from a Biblical worldview and do not shrink from condemning evil. Thanks for keeping this up so long. Here's to another great year!” And Richard Powell in Lonetta, Texas wrote, “I appreciate how much time you guys save me by putting the newscast together so I don't have to filter through so much.  I also appreciate that it's concise and that you come from a Biblical perspective.  I typically read it as part of my morning routine.” 8 Worldview listeners gave $2,760 And finally, on Monday by 8:00pm Central, 8 Worldview listeners had stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Sarina in Barnwell, Alberta, Canada who gave $25, Janna in Midvale, Idaho who gave $75, and Susan in Timnath, Colorado who gave $100. We were touched by the generosity of Bianca in Manzini, Eswatini, Africa who pledged $15/month for 12 months for a total gift of $180. Since their money is worth one-sixteenth what ours is worth, it's like Bianca donated $2,965. Imagine that! And we're grateful to God for Dwayne and Anita in Moriarty, New Mexico who gave $200, Frances in Beacon, New York who pledged $40/month for 12 months for a gift of $480, Stuart in Zillah, Washington who gave $500, and Tim in Blooming Grove, Texas who pledged $100/month for a total gift of $1,200. Those 8 gifts add up to $2,760. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $23,803 (sound effect of people cheering) That means we need to raise $32,762 to hit our $56,565 goal by this Friday, July 17th.   We need to find 8 Worldview listeners, just like Tim did, who will pledge $100/month for 12 months, or give a one-time gift of $1,200, 19 folks who will pledge $50/month or give a one-time gift of $600 and 38 listeners who will pledge $25/month or give a one-time gift of $300. Go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.  If Bianca from Eswatini, Africa can give the equivalent of $2,965, what could you give?

(3) The Phony War and Strategic Reserves: Regulatory Displacement, the Iran-US "Phony War," and the Doctrine of Unconditional Surrender Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. Broadcasting a "bootleg edition" from a parking lot after being forced out by the building inspector, the hosts discuss the unsustainable nature of the escalating US-Iran conflict. Gaius compares the current "drip drip" of hostilities to the minor-sounding reports from 1938–1939, questioning the sustainability of these incremental escalations. Germanicus frames the conflict as a "Sitzkrieg" or "phony war," noting that unlike 1940, the current pressure is the depletion of strategic oil reserves — the crisis isn't "instantly imminent," but the drawdown makes it temporary. He critiques the American "neuralgia" of demanding unconditional surrender, an unattainable goal he traces from the Civil War to modern leaders like Trump and Biden, arguing that a military tradition requiring demonized enemies and total submission prevents realistic resolutions. They conclude that the current diplomatic and military path is a "will-o'-the-wisp" that cannot be achieved through air power or Blitzkrieg. (3)1945 BBERLIN

Preview for Later Today: Edmund Fitton-Brown. Strategic Control of the Strait of Hormuz. Edmund Fitton-Brownproposes making the Strait of Hormuz the centerpiece of U.S. strategy to weaken the Iranian regime. He believes imposing international will over this waterway provides a viable way out of regional aggression.1600

Stalin's Strategic Shift and the Path to the Korean War GUEST: Nick Bunker Throughout 1949, Stalin was skeptical of Kim Il-sung's plan to invade South Korea, doubting North Korea's capability and the strategic rationale. However, in January 1950, Stalin abruptly authorized the planning of the attack. This shift was fueled by several factors: his newfound confidence in Mao as an ally and the perception that the United States would not intervene. Stalin interpreted Dean Acheson's "defensive perimeter" speech and the congressional defeat of the Korean aid bill as signals of American withdrawal from the peninsula. Furthermore, Stalin saw Korea as strategically vital for securing the Soviet Far East and strengthening communist states in Asia. While Washington remained largely oblivious to these plans, Stalin benefited from an abundance of intelligence gathered simply by reading American newspapers, which were filled with leaks about the "confusion" and "dissension" within the Truman administration. (6)

NSC-68: The Blueprint for Cold War Rearmament GUEST: Nick Bunker Following the 1949 Soviet atomic test, Paul Nitze and Dean Acheson drafted NSC-68, a top-secret strategic document that defined the Cold War struggle. The document portrayed the Soviet threat in the "starkest, grimmest possible terms," identifying 1954 as the "year of maximum danger." To counter Soviet military spending — estimated at 15% of their national output — NSC-68 proposed trebling the U.S. defense budget from $13 billion to $40 billion. Simultaneously, McCarthy targeted Owen Lattimore, an Asia expert, as a "master Soviet agent" to undermine the State Department's policy. While Lattimore was eventually cleared, the political pressure forced the administration into an awkward defensive position. Ultimately, the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 "overtook" the measured rollout of NSC-68, leading to the massive military build-up the document envisioned, but in a far more chaotic and urgent manner.

Headline: Strategic Stability and the Erosion of the Nuclear Taboo Guest: Peter Huessy Peter Huessy explores the weakening nuclear taboo, noting Putin's near-use of tactical nukes in Ukraine. He contrasts this with historic deterrence during the Cuban Missile Crisis, where Kennedy provided Khrushchev a "way out." Huessy emphasizes that hybrid warfare now complicates traditional deterrence strategies. (7)1903
