Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, where we tackle the most pressing headlines and cultural shifts shaping our world. In this episode, Tom Bilyeu and Drew dive deep into breaking news across global conflict zones, with a particular focus on the escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the ongoing war involving Iran. The discussion breaks down Iran's strategic moves, the potential economic fallout—including spiking oil prices—and the challenges facing U.S. policy and leadership as the situation evolves. But the conversation doesn't stop overseas. The episode takes a hard look at recent domestic terror attacks, economic reports showing troubling signs for the U.S. economy, debates over digital currencies, and the rising challenges in major U.S. cities like New York as leaders propose controversial new tax strategies. Tom Bilyeu and Drew don't shy away from controversial topics—they address questions of immigration, national security, and the emotional toll of chasing (and reimagining) personal dreams in uncertain times. Whether you're interested in geopolitics, personal growth, economics, or just want to make sense of a world that seems to be changing faster than ever, this episode delivers engaging analysis and actionable insight.

SUMMARY In this conversation, Andrew Adams and Gage Hanlon explore various aspects of martial arts, focusing on the importance of community, cross training, and competition. They discuss the dynamics of training together, the benefits of learning from different styles, and the significance of fostering friendships within the martial arts community. The conversation emphasizes the value of stepping outside comfort zones for personal growth and the role of instructors in guiding students through these experiences. In this conversation, Gage Hanlon discusses the importance of embracing discomfort in martial arts training, particularly in sparring, and how it contributes to personal growth and resilience. He emphasizes the role of instructors in guiding students through their journeys, fostering accountability, and creating a supportive community. The discussion also covers the dynamics of building a competitive team culture, mentorship among students, and the significance of collaboration within the martial arts community.   TAKEAWAYS Cross training events enhance community and learning among martial artists. Instructors can gain insights from training with other schools. Competition training fosters team bonding and personal growth. Friendships formed in martial arts can transcend competition. Respect and sportsmanship are vital in martial arts culture. Encouraging students to compete can help them grow. Stepping outside comfort zones expands personal boundaries. Instructors should communicate growth messages to parents as well. Community-based training events can benefit all participants. Growth comes from embracing discomfort. Accountability is essential for personal development. Instructors should model vulnerability and humility. Structured discomfort cultivates resilience and tenacity. Students may grow to love what they initially dislike. Mentorship enhances the learning experience for all. Competition can foster a healthy team environment. Community collaboration is vital in martial arts.

The state of Wisconsin has a constitutional obligation to provide equal opportunity for a sound basic education and adequate and reasonably uniform funding of our public schools. But for decades, the state hasn't provided sufficient funds to school districts or distributed those funds fairly. That's why a group of five school districts have filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin legislature–the topic of our show today.  Guest host Bert Zipperer is in conversation with Jeff Mandell, Julie Underwood, and Heather DuBois Bourenane to break down the reasons for the lawsuit and how the state can better serve its 421 school districts.  Shortfalls in state funding have left many school districts using ballot referenda to increase their spending limits. Mandell points out that referendums were once used for capital expenses but now are increasingly applied to operational costs. He says this isn't how the system is designed to work. Bourenane calls it a “disequalizing way to fund public education,” that further divides the “haves from the have nots.”  But you can't talk about the school finance system without talking about vouchers, “because they suck so much money out of the landscape,” says Underwood. Mandell clarifies the lawsuit isn't against voucher schools, but legislators need to reckon with the reality that the state is now funding voucher/independent schools to the tune of over $700 million a year. Some municipalities, like Green Bay and Eau Claire, have started to publish how much of residents’ property taxes go to voucher schools.  Underwood says public education is at the heart of our democracy, and we need adequately-funded public schools to create an informed citizenry who can participate in public debate.  Jeff Mandell is a co-founder of and General Counsel at Law Forward, a nonprofit law firm dedicated to protecting and strengthening democracy in Wisconsin. Jeff has nearly twenty years of experience in complex litigation and appellate advocacy, and is widely recognized as one of Wisconsin's leading experts in constitutional litigation and election law. Julie Underwood has focused her career on issues involving public school law and policy, as General Counsel for the National School Board Association and former Dean of the School of Education at UW-Madison. Heather DuBois Bourenane is the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Public Education Network, a public education advocacy group that shares resources, ideas, and actions that support the public schools at the heart of our communities. Their annual Summer Summit will be held this year in Superior, Wisconsin. Featured image of a child exploring library bookshelves via Rawpixel. Did you enjoy this story?

In Week 2 of our March series, Forming Leaders Before Leading Students, hosts Brent & David dive into an often overlooked but incredibly important topic for youth leaders: emotional health.Ministry formation isn't just spiritual and theological — it's emotional too. In this episode, Brent & David talk about why youth leaders can't disciple students past their own emotional maturity and how our inner emotional world quietly shapes the way we lead.Together they explore:Why identifying emotional triggers matters in ministryThe difference between reacting and responding in leadership momentsHow unresolved pain can unintentionally influence the way we leadWhy students need emotionally steady and regulated adultsThe powerful example of the emotional life of JesusThis conversation is an invitation for youth leaders to reflect honestly during this Lenten season and consider how emotional maturity plays a role in healthy, sustainable ministry.Because the truth is simple:Unprocessed emotions eventually become public leadership problems.If this episode encouraged you, we'd love your help sharing it with others.

What if the most powerful academic shift you could make during your day wasn't a new curriculum, but a change of scenery? Stepping outside softens energy, sparks curiosity, and helps even restless students regulate, but many teachers worry about losing control. In this episode, I share how taking learning outdoors doesn't mean sacrificing structure. With clear expectations, strong boundaries, and intentional routines, the outdoors becomes an engaging, manageable classroom space. I walk through practical strategies for channeling spring energy, boosting engagement, and strengthening classroom community, turning fresh air into a powerful tool for learning.

Most special education systems operate on this premise: Students with disabilities must master small foundational skills before they are allowed access to academic content.   In practice, this often means students spend years repeating the same goals - decoding, counting, basic worksheets - while their peers move forward into real subjects like science, history, and mathematics.   But what happens when a student with significant disabilities is simply included in a high school physics class?   In this episode of Non Linear Learning, I speak with Sruthi Muralidharan, a high school physics teacher who is testing that question in a public school classroom.   Sruthi teaches general education physics where students with significant cognitive disabilities - including students with Down syndrome - participate alongside their peers in labs, engineering activities, and scientific investigations.   Her work challenges several assumptions that dominate special education today. Sruthi did not begin her career in education. She holds an MS in Physics and a PhD in Electrical Engineering and spent more than ten years working in the semiconductor industry.   In This Episode We discuss: • Why mastery-based IEP goals often keep students repeating the same material year after year • The limitations of self-contained special education classrooms • What happens when students with significant disabilities join general education science classes • Why educators often confuse communication challenges with cognitive limitations • How inclusive classrooms can actually improve regulation and engagement • Why the burden of proving intelligence should never fall on the child   About Our Guest   Sruthi Muralidharan is a high school physics teacher and advocate for inclusive education. She previously worked for more than a decade in the semiconductor industry and holds an MS in Physics and a PhD in Electrical Engineering.

After mentoring college students and attending countless panels with filmmakers, artists, and entrepreneurs, I've noticed something important: underneath almost every question is the same desire.Certainty.Students and emerging creators want to know that if they pursue their dreams, they'll land on their feet. They want someone to offer a clear roadmap — a guarantee that things will work out.But the truth is much harder than that: there are no guarantees.In this episode, I talk about why uncertainty is an unavoidable part of creative careers and life itself. From the unpredictable nature of art and entertainment to the massive industry shifts brought by technology, AI, and global events, the world is constantly changing — often in ways no curriculum can prepare you for.I also reflect on my own journey. When I was in college, podcasting wasn't even an industry, yet today it's a major part of my career. That reality highlights an important lesson: the most valuable things you learn aren't specific tools or trends — they're the fundamental principles that allow you to adapt over time.We'll also explore:-Why best practices aren't guarantees-What students are really asking when they seek advice-Why art is inherently subjective (unlike sports)-How mental fortitude and physical endurance support creative work-Why embracing uncertainty is essential for artists and entrepreneursIf you're pursuing a creative path, this episode is a reminder that the goal isn't certainty — it's resilience.

Episode 102 In the conclusion of our coverage of the Seton Hall University dorm fire, we return to January of 2000, when flames broke out inside Boland Hall, trapping students behind smoke-filled corridors and turning a college residence hall into the scene of one of the most devastating campus fires in recent memory. In this episode, we walk through the fire investigation itself—how investigators began piecing together what happened that night and why, despite the lack of clear physical evidence, they quickly suspected the fire had been intentionally set. We examine the subtle clues that pointed investigators toward arson, from burn patterns and witness accounts to inconsistencies in the early explanations coming from students who had been in the building that night. But the investigation quickly ran into a wall. Witnesses began clamming up, stories changed, and the tight-knit social circles inside the dorm made it difficult for investigators to get reliable information about what had really happened in the lounge where the fire began. As the case stalled, law enforcement took increasingly aggressive steps to move the investigation forward, including compelling testimony through a grand jury in an effort to break through the silence. Eventually, an unexpected development helped investigators finally connect the dots: the involvement of a notorious mafia hitman who had information that helped push the investigation toward indictments. Those indictments would ultimately reach beyond the two students accused of setting the fire. Prosecutors also charged members of one suspect's family with witness tampering, alleging attempts to interfere with the investigation as authorities worked to determine who was responsible for the fire that night. In the final chapter of this story, we examine how the investigation unfolded, how the case was built despite limited physical evidence, and how the legal consequences spread far beyond the two young men accused of starting the fire.

Mark Quinn speaks with Dr Gergo Baranyi about researching environment and health with a lifecourse approach, using data that follows people over time. Dr Baranyi describes how linking cohort data to administrative and geospatial sources can paint a richer picture of exposure than using a single home address alone. They discuss how these methods can connect housing and neighbourhood conditions to outcomes that matter, including schooling.Full show notes and links: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2026/mar/how-poor-housing-shapes-school-outcomes-and-why-place-matters-research-real-world

(Group Learning Program) - Guided Breathing Mindfulness Meditation and Student QuestionsBreathing Mindfulness Meditation was the primary form of meditation employed by The Buddha to attain Enlightenment. There are many aspects of The Path to Enlightenment that one would need to learn and practice with guidance from a Teacher, however, Breathing Mindfulness Meditation should be among the top priorities for any Practitioner aspiring to attain Enlightenment.The goal of Breathing Mindfulness Meditation is to develop “Right Mindfulness”, “Right Concentration”, and to eliminate the unwholesome root of craving/desire/attachment.All discontentedness is caused by craving/desire/attachment so it is important to train the mind to not have craving/desire/attachment as part of "Developing Your Life Practice”.In this Podcast, David will guide you in a Breathing Mindfulness Meditation session and will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice and progress forward on The Path to Enlightenment.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://mailchi.mp/f958c59262eb/buddhadailywisdomThe Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://mailchi.mp/6bb4fdf2b6e0/palicanonstudyprogramFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyWisdom999YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyWisdom999Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/buddhadailywisdom/Support our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #enlightenment #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse

The average American teenager spends 4.8 hours a day on social media—but what are the actual effects of all this screen time? How have online platforms shifted our ways of talking and thinking about society? About the nation? What should we do about it? Over the course of one day, students from three different Bay Area high schools are invited to question and sharpen their discourse skills while exploring these questions for themselves.  In the morning, speakers Myles Bess (Above the Noise, ONE Creator Lab) and Gabriela Nguyen (Appstinence) will engage with these topics and model respectful, productive dialogue, discussing their experiences and opinions to build an understanding of the issue, and each other. Students will engage in listening activities and evidence-based discussion groups covering news media, California privacy laws, and international attempts to address our changing world.

Topic: Career and Technical Education • Career Pathways • Workforce Readiness Today our guest is Brooke Martin, Executive Director of Career and Technical Education at Aldine ISD in Texas. We talk about why career and technical education (CTE) is becoming essential for helping students explore career pathways and workforce opportunities while still in high school. Brooke shares how industry certifications, work-based learning, and strong community partnerships allow students to gain real-world experience and make more informed decisions about their future. In this conversation, Brooke offers clear reminders for leaders working to expand career pathways and student engagement: Career and technical education gives students real-world experiences that help them explore career paths earlier. Industry certifications and work-based learning allow students to graduate with skills that translate directly into the workforce. Exposure to multiple career pathways helps students make more informed decisions about college, careers, and future opportunities. Hands-on learning increases student engagement by connecting classroom learning to real-life applications.

Each week, we take a step back to re-examine three stories from the news cycle. Stories that, at first glance, appear to have no logical connection. Different sectors. Different stakes.

What does it mean to become a student of culture?In this episode of the Logos Podcast, Fr. Joseph and Fr. Max introduce a new initiative called Students of Culture — a community for people who want to read the signs of the times, think deeply about the world around them, and discover the truth, goodness, and beauty present even in contemporary culture.Drawing inspiration from the Church's tradition and the thought of Pope St. Paul VI, they explain how Christians are called not to retreat from culture but to enter into dialogue with the world — recognizing the traces of the Logos present in music, art, film, and the human heart.Students of Culture is an invitation to become intellectual disciples:people who study, think critically, engage culture, and grow in love for Christ through the pursuit of truth.Join the conversation and become a Student of Culture.Connect with us here:Website: http://www.logos-podcast.com/Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBvNcAbptX17PzlC2x?si=BkEHS4vGSf-xmMlDFcpZ2QApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/logos-podcast/id1560191231YouTube: https://youtube.com/@logospodxast?si=RaYkZAfLKea2kBtZInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/logospodxastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/logospodcastSupport the show

The promise of AI in education is incredible: picture infinitely patient tutors that can teach every student exactly the way they need to be taught. But the history of education technology tells us that these kinds of simple, optimistic stories are naive. Ask any teacher or student whether they feel unleashed by technology to do their best work.  Because AI has the potential to completely transform education — is already transforming it — faster than educators can keep up, it's essential that we start asking the big questions: how should these tools be used in the classroom? What's the purpose of education in an AI age? And how do we prepare students for a future that's still so radically uncertain? Our guest this week actually has some answers. Rebecca Winthrop leads the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution, and they just released a report called A New Direction for Students in an AI World. She and her colleagues conducted an extensive ‘pre-mortem' of AI in the classroom, speaking with hundreds of educators, students, policy-makers, and technologists worldwide.  In this episode, Rebecca walks us through what she's learned — what's working, what's not, and most importantly, what are the concrete steps that parents, teachers, and administrators can and should take right now?   RECOMMENDED MEDIA A New Direction for Students in An AI World The Disengaged Teen by Rebecca Winthrop and Jenny Anderson   RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES Rethinking School in the Age of AI Attachment Hacking and the Rise of AI Psychosis How OpenAI's ChatGPT Guided a Teen to His Death AI and the Future of Work: What You Need to Know Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If your students can calculate but collapse in math word problems, the issue often isn't the numbers—it's the structure.Many schools default to keyword hunts, graphic organizers, and “pick the operation” routines. But those tools can accidentally train students to guess instead of model what's happening. The result: multi-step math problems feel like a maze.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy “keywords/highlighters” often fail (and what they train students to do instead)How focusing on math problem types (join/separate/compare, fair share, measured, etc.) strengthens multi-step thinkingWhat to assess when students miss word problems (structure breakdown, not just computation)How to build cumulative practice so word problems improve all year—not in one unitA simple, curriculum-anchored move leaders can run next weekIf word problems are your team's pebble, this episode gives you a clean first step to build shared language, stronger instruction, and better student math outcomes—without adding another program.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Lynn Meade uncovers how to make learning visible with portfolios on episode 612 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast Quotes from the episode An ePortfolio is basically a curated collection of student work. It includes reflection, and it’s usually across the college experience. -Lynn Meade Anytime I teach portfolios, it’s really big that we talk about audience and purpose. Who is your audience and what is your purpose? -Lynn Meade There’s something particularly lovely about seeing student or faculty members’ written comments about my work. Both the critiques and those comments that build me up, and how very powerful they are, and how much they mean to me. -Lynn Meade It’s not about the tech. The most important thing is, am I writing?

Send a textWhat actually makes a youth ministry fruitful? Bigger crowds? Flashier events? Viral moments? In this episode  Zac sits down with JP Black to wrestle honestly with those questions: presence, not popularity.From the moment you walk into JP's student building—covered in photos, memories, and a “Trophy Wall of Awesome”—you can feel a culture of belonging. But the real transformation didn't come from décor. It came from a deliberate shift away from event management toward spaces where students encounter God.JP shares how the post-COVID reset forced his team to rebuild from the ground up. Instead of chasing attendance as proof of “anointing,” they began measuring spiritual fruit through markers like confession, repentance, prayer, and resilient discipleship. The result? A ministry less driven by hype and more shaped by genuine transformation.One standout example is their redesigned Venture Weekend, now treated as a modern “stone of remembrance.” Students participate in a powerful concert of prayer, laying down idols and naming what's holding them back.Fruitful youth ministry isn't built on popularity, it's formed through presence, repentance, prayer, and patient discipleship.• history and community markers in the student space• why the Trophy Wall of Awesome matters for belonging• JP's calling story and long obedience• post-COVID reset of metrics and motives• presence of God as the ministry north star• redesigning Venture Weekend for encounter• splitting middle school and high school for depth• testing hype vs transformation through repentance• practical ways to bring camp home weekly• modeling humility and pressing on from Philippians 3• concert of prayer and a seventh grader's salvation• how to connect with JP BlackFirst Rockwall Students on Facebook and Instagram Instagram: @JPBlack_Support the showJoin the community!
