It started with exiles, legendary assassinations, and a dream of revenge. This is the opening act of the Wu–Chu War, where the state of Wu punched far above its weight — and the state of Chu didn't see it coming.When Chu underestimated its ambitious neighbor, all hell broke loose. In Part 1, we cover the rise of Wu, the backstory of King Helü and the legendary strategist Sun Tzu - author of "The Ancient Art of War" - and how one of the great underdog campaigns in ancient Chinese history began.Thank you to all the long time fans and Supporters of this podcast!

"Great meeting today with Javier Milei!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "He is doing the right things for his Country. I hope the people of Argentina understand how good a job he is doing, and will support his work during the upcoming Midterms, so we can continue to help him achieve Argentina's incredible potential. "Javier Milei has my Complete and Total Endorsement — He will not let you down. MAKE ARGENTINA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump said at the White House on Tuesday he would endorse Milei for reelection and previously had already indicated during the U.N. General Assembly in September he was endorsing Milei, when he handed the Argentine leader a print-out of a Truth Social post with his endorsement. Trump threatened to pull assistance for Argentina — led by a political kindred spirit whose philosophy aligns with that of the Republican administration — if the nation's internal politics don't go the U.S.' way in its upcoming elections. The comments came during a meeting with Milei, whose country is set to hold midterm elections for its legislative body later this month.

**Sun Tzu at Gettysburg with Ralph Siegel | Addressing Gettysburg** In this episode of *Addressing Gettysburg*, guest Ralph Siegel invites you into a provocative thopught exercise: how and where were the principles of **Sun Tzu's *The Art of War** applied in the Battle of Gettysburg? Sun Tzu (5th century B.C.) is one of history's most influential strategists. His treatise *The Art of War* — a compact work of 13 chapters on strategy, deception, intelligence, terrain, and timing — has shaped military thinking for millennia. ([Wikipedia][1]) He emphasizes that “the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting,” and teaches lessons like striking where the enemy is weak, using deception, and the critical importance of knowing yourself and your enemy. ([Goodreads][2]) Meanwhile, the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1–3, 1863) stands among the most consequential clashes in American history. It resulted in massive casualties (over 50,000 combined) and marked a turning point in the Civil War, as Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North was repulsed and momentum shifted to the Union. ([American Battlefield Trust][3]) Over three brutal days, fighting raged across ridges, hills, and open fields — from McPherson's Ridge to Little Round Top, from Cemetery Hill to Pickett's Charge. ([National Park Service][4]) In this video, Ralph Siegel explores how key Sun Tzu maxims might have been applied (or misapplied) by Union generals like Meade and Confederate commanders like Lee or Longstreet. How might they have used terrain more cunningly, exploited intelligence (or lack thereof), feinted attacks, or avoided catastrophic frontal assaults? Could Pickett's Charge have been prevented or better supported by a more flexible, Sun Tzu-inspired doctrine?
Can you navigate AI disruption without understanding your landscape? Discover how to gain true situational awareness.The rise of AI has exposed a fundamental problem in how organizations make decisions. Most leaders operate using stories and graphs, not actual maps of their landscape. This leaves them vulnerable to disruption and unable to make informed choices about where to apply new technologies. The result is chaos, waste, and strategic mistakes that could have been avoided.In this episode, Simon Wardley, creator of Wardley Mapping, explains how to build true situational awareness in your organization. He shares why most business “maps” aren't really maps at all, how to understand the landscape before making decisions, and what leaders need to know about AI adoption beyond the current hype.Key topics discussed:Why leading with stories instead of maps creates fake CEOsThe critical difference between graphs and maps in business strategyWhat Wardley mapping is and the three pattern types leaders must understandHow to identify where human decision-making adds value in your AI adoptionWhy vibe coding is powerful but dangerous without proper code reviewsWhy software development is still a craft, not engineeringHow Jevons Paradox means AI won't eliminate jobs but expand codebasesThe hidden dangers of AI hallucinations and the need for critical thinkingTimestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:59) Career Turning Points(00:06:45) Importance of Understanding Landscape for Leaders(00:10:42) The Problem of Leading with Stories(00:12:49) Wardley Maps vs Other Types of Business Maps/Analysis(00:17:32) Wardley Map Overview(00:23:54) Why Mapping is Not a Common Industry Practice(00:26:23) Climatic Patterns, Doctrines, and Gameplay(00:30:51) Understanding Disruption by Using a Map(00:33:17) Navigating the Recent AI Disruption(00:39:37) A Leader's Guide to Adopting AI(00:42:49) Turning Coding From a Craft Into Engineering(00:48:05) Simon's AI & Vibe Coding Experiments(00:55:28) The Importance of Critical Thinking for Software Engineers(01:03:49) Navigating Career Anxiety Due to AI Fear(01:08:56) Tech Lead Wisdom_____Simon Wardley's BioSimon Wardley is a researcher, former CEO, and the creator of Wardley Mapping, a powerful method for visualizing and developing business strategy. His journey began accidentally after a bookseller recommended Sun Tzu's The Art of War, which sparked a fascination with understanding the competitive “landscape.”As the former CEO of an online photo service acquired by Canon, he felt like a “fake CEO,” leading with stories while lacking true situational awareness. This led him to discover that almost all business “maps” were merely graphs, prompting him to develop his own mapping technique. Today, his work is used by organizations like NASA and taught at multiple MBA programs, helping leaders to “look before they leap” and navigate complex technological and market shifts, including the current disruption caused by AI.Follow Simon:LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/simonwardleyTwitter – x.com/swardleyWebsite – www.swardleymaps.comLike this episode?Show notes & transcript: techleadjournal.dev/episodes/235.Follow @techleadjournal on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.Buy me a coffee or become a patron.

Ever wonder what separates a struggling inspector from a thriving business owner? Spoiler: it's rarely about technical knowledge.We've identified a consistent pattern—where most professionals fall short isn't in understanding building systems, but in mastering the crucial soft skills that drive business success. In this candid conversation, I reveal the five books that transformed my approach to home inspection and business ownership, and continue to serve as my go-to resources during morning routines and office days.From Robert Greene's "Laws of Human Nature," which has saved me countless headaches by teaching me to observe client behavior objectively, to Sun Tzu's surprisingly relevant "Art of War" with its business strategy gems like "let your competitor make the opening," these recommendations address the skills gap that technical training never covers. I share how Dale Carnegie's classic people skills manual dramatically improved my inspection delivery, why Jacob Goldstein's financial literacy primer should be required reading for every business owner, and how Robert Cialdini's psychology insights have helped me communicate more effectively with anxious clients.These aren't trendy self-help titles—they're practical, skill-building resources that have directly contributed to better client experiences, smoother inspections, and ultimately, a more profitable business. Whether you're a seasoned inspector or just starting out, implementing these principles could be the difference between merely surviving and truly thriving in this competitive industry.

Neste sétimo e último episódio da nossa série sobre A Arte da Guerra, chegamos ao ápice da estratégia de Sun Tzu, com os capítulos sobre "Territórios" e "Ataque com Fogo". Vamos decodificar as lições finais sobre velocidade, adaptabilidade e, o mais importante, a mentalidade que separa um líder amador de um verdadeiro mestre estrategista.
“The acme of skill,” Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War, is not “to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles,” but “to subdue the enemy without fighting.” The author of Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare (Portfolio, 2025) has devoted much of his career to exploring how economic power can advance this goal. He served on the teams at the U.S. State Department that designed and negotiated Western sanctions against Russia after its 2014 annexation of Crimea, and whose economic pressure campaign against Iran led to a landmark nuclear deal in 2015. Economic warfare is how America fights its most important geopolitical battles today. From thwarting Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons to checking Russian imperialism and China's bid for world mastery, the United States has reached into its economic arsenal to get the job done. In the process, the world economy has become a battlefield. Its weapons take the form of sanctions, export controls, and investment restrictions. Its commanders are not generals and admirals but lawyers, diplomats, and economists. Its foot soldiers are not brave men and women who volunteer for military service but business executives who seek to maximize profits yet often find they have no option other than to obey Washington's marching orders. And America's strength in these battles stems not from its gargantuan defense budget but from its primacy in international finance and technology. This book is about this kind of war. It blends research, analysis, and extensive interviews with more than one hundred of the key players in the events described, highlighting inflection points, interpreting their significance, and pulling back the curtain on the places where economic wars have been fought.

Zu Geheimdiensten gibt es viele Mythen und Verschwörungen. Thomas Riegler ist Historiker und ein absoluter Geheimdienst-Nerd. Von ihm habe ich mir erklären lassen, wie Geheimdienste wirklich arbeiten. Es ist mehr fader Bürojob als James Bond, aber trotzdem ab und zu ziemlich spektakulär. Wir reden über den Mossad, 9/11, die Atombombe, Jan Marsalek und noch viel mehr. Geheimdienste, erklärt.

7 Simple Ways To Outsmart Anyone (Win Without Fighting) - Sun Tzu (Taoism). In this podcast we will talk about How To Outsmart Everybody Else from the philosophy of Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, philosopher, and writer who followed ideas rooted in philosophies like Taoism, Confucianism, and elements of Legalism. So with that in mind, here are 7 Simple Ways To Outsmart Anyone from the philosophy of Sun Tzu- 01. Know Yourself and Know Your Opponent 02. Win Without Fighting 03. Use Deception 04. Control the Terrain 05. Use Speed and Surprise 06. Exploit Emotions 07. Prepare for the Worst We hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope this video, from the philosophy of Sun Tzu, helps you outsmart anyone Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, philosopher, and writer who lived more than 2,500 years ago. Though much of his life remains a mystery, he is said to have followed ideas rooted in philosophies like Taoism, Confucianism, and elements of Legalism. He's best known for a book called The Art of War, a classic text on military strategy and tactics. Even though it was written for military leaders, people still read it today for advice on leadership, business, sports, and personal growth. What made Sun Tzu different was how he thought about winning. He believed the smartest victory is a victory won without fighting. Success came from careful planning, calm thinking, and knowing both yourself and your opponent. He taught that strength isn't always about pushing harder—it's about stepping back, seeing clearly, and acting at the right moment.

Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time. The Art of War is one of the oldest and most famous studies of strategy and has had a huge influence on both military planning and beyond. The Art of War has also been applied, with much success, to business and managerial strategies." (summary from Wikipedia)Donate to LibriVox: https://libri-vox.org/donate
This ancient Chinese military treatise by the mysterious Sun Tzu is one of the most influential books ever written. Internet shock-merchants and tech oligarchs swear by it, Dominic Cummings is a fan and it has inspired military leaders for 2,500 years. Why has ‘The Art Of War' lasted – and is there more to it than a manual for the manosphere and a crib-sheet for vendors of management studies snake oil? Jamie Q Roberts is a Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Sydney (and he also runs Wollemi Art Farm in the Australian Bush). He talks to Andrew Harrison about ‘The Art Of War's relevance today, its surprising spiritual dimension, and whether Trump is an unwitting apostle of Sun Tzu. • Read Jamie's further exploration of ‘The Art Of War' on The Conversation. • Why should the bad guys benefit from all the good advice?

In this (far too long) episode, we play a quiz show with a cake as a prize. Because really, that's what every war is about: cake.
Sun Tzu: "A leader leads by example, not by force." Sun Tzu outlines the foundation of effective leadership.

Three weeks ago, we had a very special Old Masters Series show: The Art of War, Copywriting Edition. But we only covered half the book, so that made the previous episode Part 1. Today we cover the rest of the book, Chapters 7 through 13. And that makes today Part 2. Here's what you need to know: The Art of War was written by Sun Tzu (SOOON-tzeh) about 2500 years ago, as a treatise on military strategy. The Art of War reaches far beyond military warfare, however. Business overachievers like Elon Musk and Mark Benioff, founder of salesforce, are among many who have praised this book. That's because the principles in this book are universal and very powerful in any situation where you're in a struggle–and getting people to buy from the written word certainly counts as a struggle. Today you'll see exactly how Sun Tzu's principles, when applied to copy, can help you sharpen your copy, position your offers better, and persuade prospects more naturally. I've gotta tell you, I was surprised when I was preparing this how easily his principles can be applied to copy. Now, there's a reason The Art of War has lasted for more than two thousand years. It's not just because people like reading about swords and spears. It's because the way Sun Tzu thought about winning applies anywhere there's competition — whether it's two armies on a field, two companies in a market… or you, sitting at a keyboard, trying to out-sell the other guy. When you're writing copy, you're not just “putting words together.” You're maneuvering. Positioning. Adapting. Watching for the right moment to strike. If you've ever had a great piece of copy flop… or a headline you loved get ignored… or a competitor suddenly steal your customers… …you've felt the same frustration a general feels when the plan falls apart halfway through the battle. Sun Tzu didn't leave that to chance. He studied how to win before the fight began — and how to keep control until the very last move. Today, we're going to tap into the last seven chapters of his book. These are the chapters about keeping your opponent guessing… matching your tactics to the exact ground you're on… knowing when to press hard and when to pull back… and gathering the kind of intelligence that lets you win before the other side knows what happened.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! We’re joined by Gordon G. Chang, renowned author and foreign policy expert, to talk about the recent summit involving China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, and its broader implications for global stability and U.S. foreign policy. Chang explains that China’s projection of strength is, in fact, a sign of weakness, referencing Sun Tzu’s strategy of appearing strong when vulnerable. He also highlights the deepening alliance between authoritarian regimes and the strategic positioning of nations like India, which showed hesitancy to fully align with anti-Western narratives. Chang warns about the dangerous missile cooperation between Iran and North Korea and raises serious concerns about China's ongoing practice of forced organ harvesting. He criticizes both the lack of U.S. response and the media’s overly sympathetic coverage of the summit, calling it a disservice to the American public. The conversation underscores the urgent need for a more informed, assertive U.S. stance on rising global threats. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about serious commentary on RFK Jr.'s testimony before Congress, which he watched in full. Brett criticizes the conduct of several Democratic lawmakers during the hearing, describing their approach as combative and unproductive, with little interest in genuine dialogue. He expresses concern over what he sees as a troubling alliance between elected officials and pharmaceutical companies, suggesting that the hearing was more about protecting industry interests than pursuing public health reform. Citing the number of vaccinations children receive throughout their school years, he raises questions about medical transparency and informed consent. Brett concludes by urging listeners to pay attention to how power operates in Washington and to remain engaged in demanding accountability and meaningful reform from their elected leaders.

JB White returns with a candid episode mixing personal updates, tech struggles, and sharp political reflections. Broadcasting from Tallahassee ahead of his upcoming hip replacement, he riffs on Trump's authority over agencies like the FBI and Federal Reserve, the fraud of Biden's “81 million votes,” and the ongoing lawfare designed to stall Trump's agenda. The centerpiece is Joe Lang's recent analysis tying together drops, Jeff Sessions, and Trump's Sun Tzu–style battle plan. JB argues that Sessions, Trey Gowdy, and Bob Goodlatte may have been playing assigned roles in a long game of counterintelligence, urging listeners not to dismiss their contributions. He frames Trump as a true wartime president, waging an internal conflict that mirrors the strategies of the Green Berets. The show closes with reflections on Bitcoin, Trump's embrace of crypto, and why the U.S. entrepreneurial spirit ensures both the dollar and digital currencies will shape the future. Raw, personal, and insightful, this episode blends Badlands grit with JB's trademark Southern candor.

Most copywriters know the classics of our field—but today we're drawing from a master whose work predates modern advertising by more than two millennia. In this episode of Copywriters Podcast, we're unpacking Sun Tzu's The Art of War—a book written over 2,500 years ago, yet still shaping strategy for business titans like Elon Musk and Marc Benioff. While it was originally written as a guide to military conquest, The Art of War has long been praised for its universal principles of strategy and persuasion. The battlefield may have been different, but the parallels to winning in business—and especially in copywriting—are undeniable. In this episode, we'll show you how to translate Sun Tzu's wisdom into practical tactics for the written word. You'll discover how ancient principles of planning, positioning, and persuasion can sharpen your copy, strengthen your offers, and give you the edge in today's competitive marketplace. What's surprising is how naturally these lessons map to the challenges copywriters face every day. From anticipating objections, to winning quickly before attention fades, to making your offer feel like the natural choice—Sun Tzu laid out the playbook centuries before advertising even existed. This is part one of a two-part series, covering the first six chapters of The Art of War. If you've ever felt like writing copy is a battle for attention and trust, this episode will give you a fresh perspective—and some timeless strategies—to help you win more often.Download.

Professor Kozlowski presents a woefully inadequate look at some key ideas in the political philosophy of China and India, specifically:Lao-Tzu's Tao Te ChingThe Analects of ConfuciusMo-TzuThe Laws of ManuAlong the way we'll talk about the differences between Eastern and Western attitudes toward virtue, rule, and government, as well as how these texts take on a very different perspective from those we've seen in Ancient Greece....and then we won't talk about them again until the 20th century or so. Alas - we still need to make room for all that Marx and Hobbes.I will (one day) upload the document I've produced for my students, which excerpts each of the above texts, to my website, so you may be able to find it there.Additional readings include: Mencius, Sun-Tzu's The Art of War, Intrigues of the Warring States, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Bhagavad-Gita, and Fire Emblem for my gamer fans.If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Saturday and the rest of previous week is for podcasting… “In the Midst of Chaos, There is Also Opportunity”: Embracing Adaptability No plan, however brilliant, survives first contact with the enemy—or the market. Sun Tzu was a master of understanding changing conditions. He stressed the importance of adapting tactics based on the situation at hand. “According to the enemy's formation, we adjust our own. Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing.” This week's episode I discuss Crypto Ponzi Schemes, use an AI generated guest host to summarize Stephen King's Holly, explain how Shannon Sharpe gives away generational wealth so a Only Fans Model can retire... #ShameaMorton is strategic and getting ready to walk into her greatness.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about chaos in the political landscape and the strategic use of unpredictability. He emphasizes that while many see disorder as a sign of decline, it can actually signal a calculated and powerful strategy at work. Drawing from historical examples like Hannibal, Scipio, and Sun Tzu, Brett parallels these ancient tactics with Donald Trump’s political maneuvering, claiming Trump uses confusion as a tool to destabilize opponents and consolidate influence. He argues that what some view as random or reckless is actually deliberate, and it's reshaping America’s position globally. Brett contends that the economy is strong, rivals like Iran and China are unsettled, and allies are aligning with U.S. interests. Throughout the monologue, he stresses that confusion isn’t the end—it's the beginning of dominance, positioning Trump’s strategy as both modern and rooted in timeless principles of power and warfare.

Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the importance of simplifying government systems and bringing fresh perspectives into Washington. Beth shares her top two national policy priorities: implementing a fair tax system and establishing term limits for elected officials. She argues that a streamlined, transparent tax structure would reduce confusion and ensure everyone contributes fairly, while term limits would encourage public service over career politics. Brett and Beth explore the idea that limiting time in office could naturally phase out aging politicians and reduce corruption tied to long-term incumbency.

Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer, and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. Sun Tzu stresses the importance of knowing one's own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of the enemy, to gain a strategic advantage. Avoiding Unnecessary Conflict: A core principle is to avoid battle whenever possible, seeking to subdue the enemy through diplomacy or other means before resorting to direct confrontation. • Psychological Warfare: Involves manipulating the enemy's perception and actions, not engaging in personal attacks or pettiness. I am NOT a communist sympathizer, but China got the scratch to be about that life… ***China seems to think the US wants the smoke, so China is like... bring it. I hope it is true that while they leave the MAGA trade negotiators on read, China is playing Obama speeches…I want this to be true #pettylujah From Epstein's files cover-up, to attempting to gaslight Jerome Powell, to believing the cost of a building completed 5 years ago has anything to do with current renovations, and Mr. Powell will not be bullied into crashing the world economy. Unless someone is getting handcuffed, super-sized because of swelling, due to the association with that dead pedophile, or an actual plan to reduce the deficit, I don't care about these stupid news items. They are a distraction from reality. Crypto really is the wild, wild west. Thieves working hard to appear legit, why not work hard and just be legit?

Avoiding Unnecessary Conflict: A core principle is to avoid battle whenever possible, seeking to subdue the enemy through diplomacy or other means before resorting to direct confrontation. • Psychological Warfare: Involves manipulating the enemy's perception and actions, not engaging in personal attacks or pettiness.

Michael Savage examines the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. He discusses the divided opinions in America about whether the U.S. should intervene. He shares comments from his listeners on the conflict. He discusses what he has learned about combating radical Islam from Dr. Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy. Savage highlights the sentiments of Iranians who hope Israeli actions could lead to governmental change in Iran. He shares insights from the National Council of Resistance of Iran and Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, who express optimism about a post-regime future. Savage then references Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War,' emphasizing the role of deception in military strategy, and speculates on possible Iranian retaliations, including the threat within the USA.
