Episode 5528: China Successfully Targeting And Interfering In Our Election

Host Gail Zelitzky talks with guest Mike Carter, the compassionate founder of Coast Family Home Care, about the essential strategies for Aging In Place. Mike Carter started his home health care business after watching his father pass away from pancreatic cancer back in the 1980s when there was no home help available. Now, his company is dedicated to helping people age with dignity and grow older in the habitat of their choice on the Central Coast of California. In this conversation, we explore practical home modifications, the truths about long-term care insurance, and how to spot critical red flags in aging parents. You'll discover how simple modifications can keep you independent, safe, and thriving in your own space. Don't wait for a crisis to make your home a safe haven for your next chapter.

Charles Spicer recounts how, in September 1936, Lloyd George met Hitler at the Berghof, where the dictator successfully charmed the aging statesman. Hitler was so delighted by the initial meeting that he invited Lloyd George's entourage, including his children, back for a second day. Lloyd George proposed extending the Locarno conference to address grievances regarding the Versailles Treaty. However, observers noted Hitler's visceral, twitching physical response whenever the Soviet Union was mentioned. Although Lloyd George was later castigated for praising Hitler in the press, Spicer argues he was effectively attempting the diplomacy that subsequent Prime Ministers failed to master. (5)19451

Then something changed which she shares about in this episode and she decided to birth at home.By the time labour started, she was at home, in a pool, comb in hand, positive affirmations stuck to the wall in front of her.When her waters broke it was filled with meconium, the pressure to transfer was real. The medical system pulls hard in those moments. Elena held her ground anyway - not because she was reckless, but because she had done the work, she trusted her body, and she believed her baby was strong. This is the story that unfolds. She's here to share what that it actually felt like, her fears, the preparation, the moments where it could have gone a different way, and why she'd do it all again at home.Curious about Elena?

On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to look back at the team's history of contract hold-ins since Le'Veon Bell's disastrous hold out several years ago. Have stars like T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward found a tactic that works more successfully in achieving their desired results in negotiations? How much leverage would Joey Porter Jr. have if he does not reach an agreement before training camp begins next week? Why did Nick Herbig choose not to hold in and sign an extension after many speculated he could be a candidate to sit out of practices at Saint Vincent College? And how have GM Omar Khan and the Steelers been able to hold the line in some talks with players like Heyward last season and former receiver Diontae Johnson? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Manchester United has successfully finalized an agreement to acquire Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans after activating a £35 million release clause in his contract.This unexpected deal advanced swiftly after United's intended £35 million transfer for Atalanta midfielder Éderson fell through due to a medical concern identified during his assessment. Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has provided his signature "Here we go" confirmation for Tielemans, who has opted for the Old Trafford project over other competing offers. The 29-year-old Belgian international is set to undergo his medical examination tomorrow.United triggered a specific £35 million (€41m) release clause, facilitating straightforward negotiations despite Aston Villa's hesitance to part with the player. In the meantime, Tielemans rejected a new contract proposal from Aston Villa as well as other external offers, demonstrating a strong inclination to play under manager Michael Carrick.Tielemans experienced a minor hamstring injury during the warm-up prior to Belgium's World Cup quarter-final loss against Spain. However, the injury is not considered long-term, and United anticipates that he will be prepared for pre-season training.He is included in a significant summer midfield overhaul by Carrick following the departure of Casemiro and a serious knee injury to Manuel Ugarte. This agreement coincides with the same day that United completed and officially announced the £48 million signing of midfielder Andrey Santos from Chelsea.

Whether you love it or hate it, negotiating with decisionmakers is part of the job of a nonprofit leader.  You have to negotiate with funders, contracting partners, policymakers, and more.  Like most things, negotiation is a lot more enjoyable when you get good at it.  The secret of those who love negotiating is they've learned the keys to success, and developed the skills to use them well. But there's another piece. The reason a lot of folks have trouble with negotiation is not that the skills are so hard to learn. It's that there tends to be a lot of emotional freight around negotiating. To get great at negotiating, we also have to rewire some of the most common beliefs about negotiation that are getting in our way, and to claim our power in the process. In today's episode, we'll tackle all of that, and show you how you can rapidly improve your negotiation skills and success rate starting today.   In this episode, we share:The two most powerful ingredients for a successful negotiationThe most common mistake that will rob you of your negotiating powerThe three beliefs that will block your success The most important questions to answer before negotiation beginsHow to make a successful counterofferHow to know when to say no to a dealIf you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I'd be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.Thanks!

AI isn't replacing jobs. It's changing the way work gets done. Scott Likens, Global Chief AI Engineer at PwC, spends his days helping organizations navigate one of the biggest technological shifts in history.

Bob and Jenny Vance train a very small team at Ardmore in Auckland but boast a healthy strike rate with a Gr 1 win already on the board. I have vivid recollections of Bob winning the 1993 W.S Cox Plate on The Phantom Chance- the first of five Cox Plates I got to call for the Nine Network. Just three years after winning the famous Moonee Valley feature, Bobby Vance decided to call time on his stellar riding career and join his wife Jenny in the training ranks. Swedish born Jenny Moller had also enjoyed a very successful career in the saddle. We tracked Bob down last week and he agreed to join us on this week's podcast. He begins by talking of the Ardmore training complex and says he and Jenny run the operation unassisted. He reflects on the thrill of a Gr 1 training win at Te Rapa in 2021 with an expat Hong Kong galloper. Bob looks back on he and Jenny's initial reaction when daughter Maija announced her intention to become a jockey. He talks of Maija's immediate success in NZ and a subsequent five year stint in Australia. The former ace jockey talks of Maija's switch to jumps riding and the career ending injuries she sustained in a crash at Rotorua. Bob says he was watching the race on TV in Auckland and knew instantly Maija was in serious trouble. He talks of his daughter's horrific injury list and her amazing recovery over a period of years. Maija is now training in tandem at Cambridge with partner Josh. Bobby looks  back on childhood days in Auckland and a work experience stint with a legendary Ellerslie trainer. When the time was right for Bob to be signed up as an apprentice jockey he had to go all the way to Matamata. He was required to go to school when stable chores were completed. Bob looks back on a very unhappy episode in his life.  He remembers the stroke of good fortune that led him to an apprenticeship with legendary Takanini horseman Colin Jillings. He was there for the duration of his junior term and beyond. The Jillings/Vance partnership soon reached dizzy heights with the ongoing success of star galloper Uncle Remus. Bob looks back on his 4 win haul in the prestigious NZ Derby. He pays tribute to the training skills of Colin Jillings whose passing in 2022 saddened the entire NZ racing industry. Bob remembers with affection his two Auckland Cup wins. Vance makes special mention of another great favourite Mr. McGinty (his name whenever he raced in Australia). He's never forgotten the colt's Sydney debut and a defeat of “boom  colt” Marscay. He literally won the race on three legs. Bob reflects on Mr. McGinty's amazing comeback and a swag of Gr 1 victories as a three year old. He talks of McGinty's subsequent success at the stud. The former jockey talks of multiple premiership wins at home. Bob looks back on a wonderful association with The Phantom Chance and that dominant Cox Plate win in 1993.  Bob had been retired three years when invited by the VRC to participate in a non betting event at Flemington against some legendary former champion riders. He enjoyed the experience. He gives a special “shout out” to mum Ronnie who's still going strong in NZ. This is a nostalgic journey with one of New Zealand's best riders from the 80's and 90's.    

First up, I sit down with professor Abboud Hamayel to discuss the misuse of history, in particular archaeology as a tool of ethnic cleansing and genocide. Abboud also deconstructs the performative solidarity of pity, the entangled histories that make Palestine a lens through which to frame our own struggles, the jealousy of the settler, and stepping outside of colonial time. Next up, Metas censorship of LGBTQ voices brings together digital activists, legal experts and LGBTQ communities to combat invisibilization. We discuss the problematic dependency on social media platforms, how this can spur the creation of alternative comms and organizing methods, digital legal frameworks in the EU vs the US, and more. Abboud Hamayel is a Palestinian intellectual, lecturer, and political analyst. He is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Studies at Birzeit University, near Ramallah. Caspar Pistersis the head of communication for Amsterdams wonderful & notorious Club Church. With a background in journalism, currently Caspar does communications for the Dutch HIV organization. Martha Dimitratou is the founder and Executive Director of Repro Uncensored, a global nonprofit documenting and challenging systemic online censorship, AI-driven harms, and the influence of Big Tech on access to information, freedom of expression, and democratic participation. Repro Uncensoreds research and investigations have been featured by hundreds of media outlets worldwide. Through Repro Uncensored, she also develops cultural initiatives and movement-building projects that bring together art, technology, digital rights, and social justice. Lotje Beekis a policy advisor at the Dutch digital rights organization Bits of Freedom, focusing on Big Tech and online platforms. She mainly works on digital rights within European platform regulation. In that context, she advocates for the effective enforcement of the Digital Services Act. Successfully so: Bits of Freedom recently won a court case against Meta Platforms based on that law.   The News That Didn't Make the News.

Learning and Development (L&D) is at a crossroads. As artificial intelligence (AI) accelerates changes in the workplace, L&D's traditional stronghold—the creation and curation of content—is rapidly losing its strategic value. In this episode, I discuss the rapidly evolving intersection of AI and Learning & Development (L&D) with Don Taylor and Egla Vinauskaite. Our conversation explores how the AI “on ramp” has disappeared, leaving many L&D organizations feeling left behind, and highlights the importance of direction, not just decision, for real transformation.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[05:56] Early years of AI in L&D[08:16] Adapting to AI in Industry[18:44] Technological turmoil and AI evolution[20:29] Challenges in transforming organizations[25:40] Decision-making and organizational hierarchy[28:59] Importance of fieldwork and presence[37:42] Understanding Drag in L and D[46:49] Role of a Leader in Change[53:40] Activating independent organizational growthThe Vanishing ‘On-Ramp' and the Challenge of Catching UpThe rapid evolution of AI in the workplace has created a new sense of urgency for L&D teams. In 2023, everyone was at the same starting line, experimenting with generative AI tools for the first time. Now, the landscape has shifted dramatically, with advanced conversations moving toward AI agents and full-scale workforce transformation. Those who didn't jump on the AI bandwagon early are finding it increasingly difficult to catch up, with the “on-ramp” to entry effectively gone for newcomers. This sense of inaccessibility is causing some people to self-select out of L&D entirely, feeling left behind by the accelerating pace of change.The Disappearing Content MoatFor years, L&D has built its identity around its expertise in content creation—the so-called “moat” that protects its value. But the rise of AI has reduced the barriers to creating effective learning content. Anyone can now create quality resources with minimal expertise, eroding the unique advantage L&D once held. Content can no longer be the cornerstone of L&D's strategy. Instead, L&D needs to determine its new value proposition in a world where content is ubiquitous.The Transformation TriangleThe Transformation Triangle proposes three potential futures for L&D organizations.Skills Authority: Organizations that pursue this path become the go-to stewards for everything related to skills in the business—tracking what skills exist, what's needed, and how to develop them. They treat skills as a critical business asset and ensure the organization stays competitive by closing gaps efficiently.Enablement Partner: Acting as connectors rather than creators, these organizations focus on surfacing, amplifying, and distributing the expertise already embedded within the workforce. Their role is to ensure knowledge flows efficiently where it's needed to elevate performance organization-wide.Adaptation Engine: The most transformative model, these teams see themselves as stewards of organizational adaptability. They diagnose and address performance issues as complex systems problems—sometimes solving them through learning, but often intervening through process or tool changes to maximize business impact.None of these are final destinations—organizations may move between them, combine elements, or adapt over time.Overcoming Structural, Cultural, and Capability DragAchieving escape velocity from the gravitational pull of content-focused L&D isn't easy. In the conversation, we identify three types of “drag” that hold teams back:Structural drag: Where L&D sits in the org chart and its direct authority.Cultural drag: Long-standing perceptions of L&D's role as content creators.Capability drag: Skills and mindsets required to operate in new, more impactful ways.Successfully overcoming these drags and embedding new models into systems and infrastructure. ensures changes stick even as leaders come and go. Resources & People MentionedLearning Technologies in the Workplace by Don TaylorClaude CodeClaude CoworkMicrosoft CopilotOne of Each | Newsletter by NodesGlobal Sentiment SurveyConnect with Don Taylor & Egle VinauskaiteEgle Vinauskaite on LinkedIn Don Taylor on LinkedIn Connect With RedThread ResearchWebsite: RedThread ResearchOn LinkedInSubscribe to WORKPLACE STORIES

Can gay men successfully retire early? A lot of gay men tell us the same thing:“I want to retire early.”Or, let's be honest, “I want to retire yesterday.”But then comes the panic: “I don't know if I have enough.” “I don't know how much money I actually need.” “I don't know how to get from here to there.”And this is where most retirement advice makes everything worse. It tells you to chase one giant magic number: $2 million, $3 million, $4 million, or whatever number makes you want to close your laptop, pour a cocktail, and think about it later.But early retirement usually isn't about one giant number. It's about having the right money in the right places at the right time.In this episode of Queer Money, we're talking about how gay men successfully retire early by using five tactics that can speed up your retirement timeline, reduce panic, and help you design a retirement that actually fits your life.Because for gay men, retirement planning is not just about money. It's also about time, health, freedom, safety, location, relationships, and whether you really want to keep working under fluorescent lighting until Medicare shows up.Takeaways from this episode:Why chasing one giant retirement number can sabotage early retirement planningHow to calculate your gap number and your bridge numberWhy early retirement is about income sequencing, not just accumulationHow to build an income bridge before you leave workWhy taxable brokerage accounts, Rule of 55, 72(t), Roth conversions, and cash may all matterHow early retirement can create a powerful tax-planning windowWhy your health should be treated as a financial assetWhy working “just a few more years” is not always freeHow to stress test your retirement plan before you leave workWhy gay men may need to design retirement more intentionally than the traditional advice suggestsThe bigger truth? Early retirement is not always about having more money. Sometimes it's about making better decisions with the money you already have.If you want help understanding your numbers, your timeline, and your next steps, schedule a Queer Money Retirement Readiness Review at the link in the show notes.We'll help you look at where you are, what you have, what you want, and what steps may help you retire early, retire abroad, or simply retire better.Stay fabulous, not fabulously broke.Mentioned in this episode:What if your portfolio came with a visa and passport?That's exactly what the Optimize Portugal Golden Opportunities Fund can do, bringing together diversification, tax efficiency, and a path to EU residency and a passport.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast host Troy Trewin interviews Ryan Estes, co-founder of KitCaster, shares his remarkable journey from losing 95% of his digital agency clients during COVID to building a thriving podcast booking agency that reached a $2 million annual run rate within just 18 months. Ryan discusses how KitCaster scaled from 3 to 25 team members, the lessons learned from rapid growth, and the strategies that helped the company stand out in the podcasting industry. He also opens up about successfully exiting the business, navigating the impact of AI, and building a company designed for acquisition. This conversation is packed with valuable insights on entrepreneurship, leadership, resilience, and creating long-term business success.    Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here.   Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice.   And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Ryan Estes, a former musician and serial entrepreneur, co-founded Kit Caster in 2019 — a podcast booking agency that places startup founders and executives on top podcasts worldwide. When COVID wiped out 95% of his digital marketing agency's clients, Ryan doubled down on Kit Caster, riding the pandemic-era podcasting boom to hit a $2 million annual run rate within just 18 months of launch. The company grew from 3 to 25 employees at its peak, but has since scaled back to around 8–9 as AI-driven efficiencies reduced staffing needs. Ryan credits strategic early-stage lending and a repeatable sales process as key drivers of their rapid growth. Beyond revenue, Ryan defines success by having built a business that allowed him and his wife to be fully present for their children — and remains a strong believer that podcasting, as a medium for human connection and storytelling, will continue to thrive. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Ryan Estes gave a quick and clear answer — "Traction" by Gino Wickman. This book, which focuses on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), clearly resonated with Ryan as a founder who valued building structured, scalable operations. Given Kit Caster's rapid growth and their goal of building a business to sell, the frameworks in Traction around team alignment, processes, and goal-setting would have been especially relevant. It's a fitting choice for an entrepreneur who emphasized repeatable systems as a key driver of his success. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Ryan Estes shares that his top recommendation is his own podcast — "AI for Founders" (aiforfounder.co) — where he interviews founders who are building AI companies or building with AI. With around 47,000 subscribers and growing quickly, the show covers not just business metrics and KPIs, but also the emotional side of navigating the AI era as a founder. Beyond his own podcast, he also recommends the "All In" podcast to stay updated on what top investors and billionaires are thinking. He additionally highlights the content from Alex and Leila Hormozi — early Kit Caster clients — praising their mastery of podcasting and the phenomenal growth they've achieved. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Ryan Estes shares that his top tool recommendation to grow a small business is Quad Code. He is enthusiastic about its potential, particularly in the context of AI, and advises small business owners not to feel overwhelmed or behind when it comes to adopting AI tools. He humorously uses a baseball analogy, suggesting that the early adopters will do the hard work of figuring it out, and that within the next six months or so, it will become much more accessible for everyone to simply step in and benefit from it. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Ryan Estes shares that the advice he would give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple yet powerful — "You can do it." He repeats this twice with conviction, reflecting a deep belief in self-confidence and self-trust as the foundation of any entrepreneurial journey. This straightforward but heartfelt message speaks to the self-doubt that many founders face at the beginning, and suggests that believing in yourself is the most important mindset a new business owner can carry with them from day one.

Equine skin problems can stem from a wide range of causes, including parasites, bacterial or fungal infections, allergies, and prolonged exposure to moisture or irritants. Successfully managing horses with skin problems relies on working with your veterinarian to identify the underlying issue and appropriately treat it. Because many dermatologic conditions can look similar in the early stages, it's important to have the veterinarian evaluate your horse promptly to help prevent complications and improve outcomes. During this episode, veterinarians answer your questions about common equine skin problems. This episode is brought to you by Creative Science. Meet the Experts: Julia Miller, DVM, Dipl. ACVD, was equine-focused in veterinary school at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, and completed a rotating large animal internship at the University of Georgia, in Athens, after graduation. She then went on to be a mixed animal general practitioner for several years before finding her true love, dermatology, and heading back to Cornell for her residency. She now practices in the beautiful land of the bluegrass in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky and loves working on all creatures great and small!Carly Turner-Garcia, DVM, Dipl. ACT, spent her earlier years working in exotic and small animal veterinary medicine before finding her passion for horses during undergraduate studies at Berry College, in Mount Berry, Georgia. She graduated from The University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine, in Athens, continued to an internship at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, and a residency in theriogenology at Texas A&M University, in College Station, where she earned her Dipl. ACT. She spent the next 10 years in private practice in Weatherford, Texas, and Guthrie, Oklahoma, seeing everything from critical neonatal cases to orthopedic emergencies with a heavy caseload of advanced reproduction. She recently joined the team at Creative Science as a technical services veterinarian while operating her own practice, Black Type Equine, focusing on advanced equine reproduction throughout the U.S. Her biggest joy comes from spending time with her husband, Taylor Garcia, PhD, and their two boys on their ranch in Oklahoma raising cattle, Quarter Horses, and working dogs.

(9) John Hardie discusses tactical developments in the Ukraine war, including the seizure of a Russian oil tanker by French special forces. Ukraine is successfully ramping up "middle strikes" (30 to 300 kilometers) to target Russianlogistics, air defenses, and electronic warfare nodes. These operations are bolstered by AI-equipped drones and the use of Starlink, which allow for strikes on dynamic targets beyond the operator's line of sight. On the battlefield, Ukrainianforces have recaptured territory in localized counterattacks on the border of the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.1855 CRIMEA

(2) Josiah Osgood details the 63 BCE Catilinarian conspiracy, where Caesar proposed permanent arrest for conspirators instead of execution. Cato countered with a powerful speech advocating death, successfully swaying the Senate and accusing Caesar of involvement. This established their permanent rivalry, pitting Cato's Stoic reputation for honesty against Caesar's pursuit of dignitas through political office and military glory. Cato modeled himself after his famous ancestor, stressing austere virtue, while Caesar used the Roman Forum as a theater of power. Their ideological divide over senatorial versus popular authority began to tear at the Republic.1899
