Send us a textWhat can a Star Wars show teach us about organizing, resistance, and healing? In this episode of the Amplify RJ Podcast, I sit down with strategist, therapist, and writer Gabes Torres to talk about Andor—yes, that Star Wars show—and what it reveals about real-life revolution.We dive into how Andor de-romanticizes rebellion and reflects the complex realities of movement work: the banality of evil, conflict in organizing, disposability culture, and the painful but necessary tension between rest and resistance. Gabes shares insights from their piece on the show, their organizing and healing work in the Global South, and the ways marine mammals and myth can inform our strategy.Whether or not you've seen the show, this conversation is about so much more than the galaxy far, far away—it's about our world and how we build toward collective liberation with nuance, integrity, and care.0:00 – Intro: What is Andor + Character Breakdown 5:20 – Meet Gabes Torres: Healer, Strategist, Rebel 9:42 – How Andor De-Romanticizes Revolution 14:20 – Disney, Propaganda & Revolutionary Storytelling 19:35 – The Banality of Evil in a Boardroom 25:00 – Real-World Parallels: Propaganda, Gaza, Gorman & Genocide 26:45 – Parenting, Powerlessness & Purpose 29:21 – Consciousness Building as Resistance 32:20 – Gabes on Luthen, Clea & Strategy in Movement 36:42 – Bix, Trauma & Knowing When to Step Back 40:28 – Organizing Through Burnout & Wavering Commitment 44:30 – Humananizing vs. Ruthless Sacrifice47:40 – Disposability Culture in Movements 49:10 – Disagreeing Is Not a Failure of Solidarity 52:00 – Addressing Conflict & Building in Organizing 56:20 – Is there Shared Vision for Our Resistance? 1:00:23 – Activist Ecosystems, Movement Mentorship from Marine Mammals 1:07:30 – Upside Down Triangle: Rethinking Power 1:08:50 – Support Gabes & Psychosocial Care for Organizers Connect with Gabes:https://gabestorres.com/https://www.instagram.com/gabestorres/Read her article: https://gabestorres.substack.com/p/andorSupport mental health care for organizers in the Global South https://gabestorres.com/support/Rep Amplify RJ Merch Connect with us on:Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Threads, YouTube, and TikTok!SUPPORT by sharing this podcast and leaving a rating or review
For years, people asked me my secret to achieving really big, hard-to-reach goals (like becoming an entertainment lawyer, a BigLaw partner and practice group leader, or making Nashville's 40 Under 40). I never really knew the answer because what I did came naturally to me. But once I became a business strategist over a decade ago, clients wanted to know how and why I thought a strategy would work for them. It took a while, but I finally figured out how to break down my thought process – including what I see most people doing wrong and how to change it with one simple shift. Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 02:05 - How a strategist's mind thinks 07:53 - Bad goals come from a lack of vision 12:12 - Why your strategy should inform your goals 19:19 - Case Study: My “Summer” Plan 32:11 - Use the Strategy Pyramid to create your plan To get the rest of the steps in the Strategy Pyramid, as well as exercises to help you achieve your biggest goals (while having the time of your life!), grab your FREE copy of the Hustle & Flow BlueprintTM at https://www.HeatherJoyHubbard.com/Blueprint Not sure what your long-term vision is?

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the Round 3 activity on LiveWire; interview invites and final decisions continue to roll out for this shortened application round; next week Chicago / Booth and Imperial Business School are scheduled to release final decisions. Graham noted the Clear Admit promotion, where for every new entry we receive on DecisionWire, that maps out a candidate's entire application journey, Clear Admit will donate $10 to the Forte Foundation. Graham highlighted the remainder of Application Overview events series that will be hosted this week on Tuesday (Berkeley / Haas, UVA / Darden, Washington / Foster, UNC / Kenan Flagler, and Georgia Tech / Scheller) and Wednesday (Columbia, Stanford, UPenn / Wharton, Yale SOM, and Texas / Austin). Signups for those events are here: https://bit.ly/appoverview25 Graham also mentioned an event on Thursday for London Business School's One Year MBA program. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/lbs1year Graham noted a deep-dive analysis article on MBA tech career placements for the most recent graduating classes. Not surprisingly, Big Tech placement has dropped off at most top MBA programs. Graham highlighted two Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from Duke / Fuqua working at EY-Parthenon, and UCLA / Anderson working at Google. Finally, Graham noted the recently recorded podcast featuring the leader of career services at Georgetown / McDonough, talking about the triple jump - changing industries, functions and geographies. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate works in investment banking and is from Ghana. They have a 325 GRE score. This week's second MBA candidate is from Argentina and appears to have a very interesting profile, but their GRE score of 309 is going to be an issue. They plan to retake. We also think they should reconsider their school targeting. The final MBA candidate is deciding between Chicago / Booth and Michigan / Ross, with scholarship. This episode was recorded in Boston, USA and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

Met de omslag van het pensioenstelsel kwamen pensioenuitvoerders als APG, PMMG en MN in financieel zwaar weer te zitten. Ieder ging daar ander mee om, maar MN koos ervoor om niet langer pensioenuitvoerder te zijn. Het bedrijf focust zich nu louter op vermogensbeheer, waardoor het niet aan de administratieve harrewar van het nieuwe pensioenstelsel hoeft te voldoen. De klanten van MN zijn echter wél allemaal pensioenfondsen, dus hoeveel is er nou werkelijk veranderd voor het bedrijf? Martijn Scholten, co-ceo van MN, is te gast in BNR Zakendoen.

George Milling-Stanley, chief gold strategist at State Street Global Advisors, says he expects gold to trade between $3,100 and $3,500 for the remainder of the year, but is making the bullish case for new record price levels as high as $3,900 an ounce, noting that he believes the new bottom level for gold is $3,000 an ounce, up by $1,000 in the last year. Milling-Stanley says gold has been working well as a geo-political hedge, providing ballast to portfolios that have been whipsawed by current economic policies, but he acknowledges that gold has not done a great job in its traditional role as a counter-weight to inflation, because inflation levels have not been high enough for long enough for gold to deliver in that role. Kristy Akullian, head of iShares investment strategy for the Americas at BlackRock, says that Tuesday's consumer price index numbers didn't show the impact of tariff-related price increases, but those could impact the numbers as soon as next month; meanwhile, the current CPI print should encourage the Federal Reserve to stand pat on interest rates and might encourage investors to make a small move up the risk spectrum, focusing on quality and low-volatility investment factors rather than simply looking to minimize volatility. Plus Kerry Sette discusses the latest consumer research out from Voya Financial, which showed that more than one in three working Americans say that the current economic uncertainty and the potential for higher prices caused by tariff policies is severely impacting their ability to save for retirement.

If you're ready to create more spaciousness, clarity, and sustainable growth - not by hustling harder, but by creating a system that evolves with you - this one's for you.

Hello to you longtime storytelling galpal Michelle in Victoria, BC, Canada! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The other day Michelle alerted me to a post in Seth's Blog, a long, long, long-running publication by Seth Godin, author and strategist. A protest or a project?Protests let off steam. They organize people who might not show up by creating a moment in time where there's enough opportunity and social pressure that they participate.A protest sends a message.But almost every time, the very things that made a protest appealing mean that it fails to change much. That's because protests are momentary, temporary and urgent. The status quo is good at surviving protests. That's why it's still the status quo.The alternative is a project. A project begins with a protest that ends with, “we'll be back tomorrow, and we're bringing our friends.”A project is impatiently persistent. It plays a longer game, one that can outlast the status quo.A project identifies the system and brings a systematic approach to changing that system.Projects can seem boring when seen with a stopwatch, but they're powerful when measured with a calendar.Story Prompt: What happens next when the protest is over and you come back with your friends to unbalance the status quo? Write that story! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew tackle the first 100 days of the Trump presidency—an era marked by volatility and shifting world dynamics. With signature candor and sharp analysis, Tom unpacks the ripple effects of global power plays: the destabilization of the post-WWII order, the mounting US-China economic standoff, and Ray Dalio's stark warning that massive change is inevitable. Alongside Drew, Tom interrogates the headlines, from the unpredictability of Trump's style to China's unwavering claims it can outlast American economic pain. This episode lays the intellectual groundwork for understanding our new, unstable world order—why economic and political models are breaking down, how tariffs and non-trade barriers play into global negotiations, and what lessons from history can help us decode what's coming.

Do you tend to go to the latest homeopathic trend, supplement, or medicine when sickness arises? Do you turn to prayer after exhausting all other things when a physical, emotional, or mental hardship surfaces? Many people think that Communion is just a religious tradition and should only occur within a church's walls and be served by a pastor or priest. But as sacred as Communion truly is, it can and should be taken in your own home! Jesus died on the cross for so much more than our salvation. We, as Christians, must tap into all that Jesus provided for us, and Communion is one of the ways this is possible. Listen in as Brian and Tiffany Jo Baker explain how we should turn to prayer and Communion first when trouble arises.Listen in for:How Communion can be taken at homeWhy we should turn to prayer and Communion firstWhat situations would warrant the need for CommunionFavorite Quotes:"Communion is super simple, yet super profound." - Brian Baker"Jesus paid the price for our soul, mind, will, emotions, and body, and that is what the bread represents." - Tiffany Jo Baker"If you only take Communion when someone gives it to you, you are missing out on a really cool and powerful tool in your own life." - Brian BakerFavorite Scripture: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly" - John 10:10✨ If you're looking for perfectly polished people or podcasts, this might not be for you. But if you want real people sharing real wisdom from a really great God, you're in the right place.

American culture and the 'melting pot' through the eyes of Gene Valentino and his guest Nicole Kiprilov. Both are guests/contributors on Newsmax. An appreciation of America is explored. The Democrat takedown with and through the 'Deep State' has failed. Nicole reveals her insight of the return of America as a Millennial. She explains the 'gaslighting' of America has failed. Ergo, 80-million Americans supported Donald Trump, turning their backs on the leftist ideology. She explains that Pete Hegseth has exposed what's gone wrong at the Pentagon. Whether it's DEI or Transgender initiatives in the Defense Department, she claims Pete Hegseth has exposed blatant hypocrisy. The DOGE initiatives have not even touched the Defense Department yet. They will. Democrats using NGO's to fuel the entry of Democrats into office, was/is a deep state complicit strategy that almost worked. The key question is; will the Republicans organize to the level necessary to stave-off the deep state threat from the left in the future? The bureaucracy that Donald Trump is breaking up IS the 'deep state' that was taking down America. This deep state bureaucracy is failing. Time for Constitutional Amendments to address BAD BEHAVIOR of elected officials and staff.
