He's going to be everything everywhere all at once. That's what President Trump is telling his party 61 days ahead of the midterm elections. But is it what Republicans on the ballot actually want? The president is historically unpopular with the country, is six months into a war most opposed, and Americans are still worried about rising prices and an unequal economy. On the flip side, no one fires up the GOP base like the president, and no one has as much money to spend right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

If we are high-impact, low-ego folks and we keep our eye on the ball, that's a recipe for success no matter what industry you're in.NextGen Scientific is turning an ancient Middle Eastern medicinal plant into a modern platform for cancer drug development and wellness products.In this episode, I spoke with Jason West, co-founder of NextGen Scientific, a PurposeBuilt100™ company recognized for combining growth with measurable impact. Jason explained that the company operates along two related tracks: Hyatt Life Sciences, its dietary supplement business and Genzada Pharmaceuticals, its drug discovery and development company.The common thread is chemistry.Jason described the company's work with Arum palestinum, a plant that grows wild in the Middle East and has long been used there as a tea. That history is what pulled the scientific team in.“What caught our attention was that there are references to the use of this plant as a medicinal plant going all the way back to the 9th century AD,” Jason said. “For 1,100 years, it's been in continuous use.”That kind of longevity raised a serious scientific question for the team: why would people keep using it for more than a millennium if there were no benefit? Jason said NextGen began studying naturally occurring molecules in the plant, ultimately identifying compounds that became the basis for its oncology research.The company now has two lead oncology or oncology-related drug candidates. One is an oral capsule in clinical trials at Virginia Commonwealth University for late-stage prostate cancer, with trials expected in the Netherlands and Sweden. The other is a topical cream aimed at actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition with tens of millions of cases annually in the United States.Jason emphasized that the goal is not to replace oncologists but to help them. “We feel like we can be just one more tool in the toolbox of the oncologist, and that's what our ultimate goal is,” he said.Congratulations to NextGen Scientific LLC on ranking #46 on the 2026 PurposeBuilt100™ list! We're proud to recognize the company among America's fastest-growing mission-driven businesses, celebrating the connection between purpose, innovation, and growth. Meet the Class of 2026 — see the full list of winners →What I found especially compelling is the company's dual-path strategy. Drug development can be slow, expensive and risky. By building a supplement business alongside the pharmaceutical pipeline, NextGen has created revenue while continuing the long FDA-focused journey.That strategy emerged organically. In rural Kansas, word spread that the family was working with a tea tied to cancer wellness. People began asking for it. “By the end of the day, I think we were sending about 40 gallons of this tea out a week just to friends and family,” Jason said.NextGen Scientific is currently raising capital through a Regulation D offering for accredited investors, targeting just over $10 million. Jason said proceeds will help accelerate clinical trials, open new trial fronts and support marketing for the supplement business.It is exactly the kind of purpose-built growth story I love to celebrate.tl;dr:Jason West's team is translating an ancient Middle Eastern plant into cancer drugs and supplements.NextGen Scientific pairs Genzada Pharmaceuticals' clinical pipeline with Hyatt Life Sciences' wellness products.Small-town curiosity created unexpected demand, eventually reaching roughly 40 gallons of tea weekly.A Regulation D raise seeks just over $10 million from accredited investors to accelerate trials.Low-ego brilliance helps Jason keep hard conversations focused on data, kindness and learning.How to Develop Low-Ego Brilliance As a SuperpowerJason's superpower is Low-Ego Brilliance. He describes it as being among people with “big brains and small egos.” For Jason, the combination matters because “if we are high-impact, low-ego folks and we keep our eye on the ball, that's a recipe for success no matter what industry you're in.” He connects the idea to persistence, humility and disciplined focus: “You just have to keep on putting one foot in front of the other.” His advice is simple but powerful: “Take the phone call. Always take the phone call.”Jason shared a story about meeting with an exceptionally smart but highly skeptical person who seemed to have little patience for NextGen's science. Rather than taking offense or trying to win a personality contest, Jason and his team stayed calm and redirected the conversation to the data. A meeting scheduled for 15 or 20 minutes stretched to about two hours. By the end, the skeptic had become a friend. Jason summed up the lesson this way: “If you have the data on your side, you don't need to be too big for your britches.”Build teams with big brains and small egos; value impact over status.Keep your eye on the ball, especially when the work is long and difficult.Put one foot in front of the other rather than demanding instant success.When challenged, redirect the conversation to evidence instead of emotion.Be kind to skeptics; you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.Take the phone call when you can because there is almost always something to learn.Stay curious, not judgmental, especially when you assume a conversation will not matter.By following Jason's example and advice, you can make low-ego brilliance a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJason West (he/him):Executive Vice President, NextGen ScientificAbout NextGen Scientific: NextGen Scientific is a biotechnology and life sciences company dedicated to advancing innovative oncology research and developing evidence-based therapeutic solutions.

WonderCow is running a Labor Day Sale! Don't miss out and go this this link https://affiliates.wondercow.com/HORMONEGENIUS. We recently recorded an episode with Erica Diebersloot of Wonder Cow, who is three months postpartum with her fifth child. The conversation centered around her postpartum experience, breastfeeding, colostrum, nutrition, and practical strategies for managing motherhood and a large family. Erica shared that she has experienced a particularly smooth postpartum recovery, which she attributes in part to prioritizing a nutrient-dense diet, supplements such as beef liver, postnatal vitamins and colostrum, and making sleep a priority. She also discussed using gentle sleep-training strategies and shared that her baby began sleeping through the night around six weeks. A particularly interesting part of the conversation was our discussion about breastfeeding and the remarkable biological communication between mother and baby. Erica highlighted the feedback loop that occurs during breastfeeding, where a baby's latch and interaction with the breast can communicate information to the mother's body and help support the production of immune components and antibodies that meet the baby's needs. We also discussed why colostrum is often called "liquid gold," including its distinctive golden color and concentrated nutritional and immune-supportive properties. Erica noted that components of colostrum can continue to be present in breast milk even months postpartum. The conversation also included some practical and creative uses for breast milk that Erica has incorporated into family life. She shared using it topically for things such as diaper rash and poison oak, as well as using it as a natural facial cream. She has also added breast milk to smoothies for older children as an additional nutritional and immune-supportive boost. Motherhood, Large-Family Life & Practical Strategies Erica emphasized that one of the keys to managing motherhood is learning to be present while also accepting personal limitations. Rather than trying to do everything perfectly, she shared practical strategies that help make life with a large family more manageable. These included keeping pre-boiled eggs available for a quick source of protein, teaching older children how to prepare simple meals and take on more responsibility, and creating what she calls a "Breastfeeding Basket." The basket contains a rotating selection of special toys that are brought out specifically during breastfeeding sessions, giving toddlers something engaging to do while Mom feeds the baby. These practical conversations helped reinforce the broader message of the episode: supporting women during pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and motherhood requires not only good nutrition but also realistic strategies that make healthy choices more sustainable within the demands of everyday family life.

This week I'm joined by Professor Sophie Scott, neuroscientist, stand-up comedian and Deputy Director of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, and someone who has dedicated her career to one of the most underrated forces in human life, laughter.We explore the science of laughter, why it matters more than we think, and what it is actually doing to our brains, our bodies and our relationships.Professor Sophie Scott is a Fellow of the Royal Society and one of the UK's leading voices on the neuroscience of laughter and communication. She has been named among the UK's top 100 scientists and is known for making complex science accessible and joyful including through her own stand-up comedy. She has spent decades studying why humans laugh, when we laugh and what happens in the brain when we do.What we explore together:-Why laughter is a social behaviour first and a response to humour second -What rats, chimpanzees and cows can teach us about why we laugh -What laughter actually does to the brain and body and why it is so good for us -Why we are 30 times more likely to laugh with other people than alone -The difference between fake laughter and real laughter and how your brain knows the difference -Why laughter is one of the most powerful tools we have for connection and resilience -What stand-up comedy taught a neuroscientist about human behaviourLove, Sarah Ann

David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to expose the dark side of Donald Trump's Venezuela oil deal, which Rothkopf says is nothing less than a criminal shakedown disguised as a victory. They dig into Trump's bid to take control of Venezuela's vast oil reserves, the shady businessman and Rudy Giuliani connection at the center of the arrangement, and the billions of dollars whose ultimate destination remains a mystery. Rothkopf argues that Trump is turning the presidency into a personal money-making machine as his Iran war collapses, his poll numbers crater, and his political future grows increasingly precarious. And as the midterms approach, the question isn't just whether Trump can survive politically—it's what investigators may uncover if he loses. #ad Head to Superpower.com and use code DAILYBEAST at checkout for $20 off your membership.

Dr. Charles Liu (astrophysics professor and host of The LIUniverse podcast) joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to reveal the physics of consciousness, time, & the multiverse!We explore the biggest scientific mysteries humanity is facing today:- How scientists are beginning to take disclosure into their own hands to gather evidence that could actually prove the existence of nonhuman intelligence- Why information about nonhuman intelligence is being released in such a confusing and dramatic way, and whether governments are intentionally communicating this way- Why there's still no scientific proof Earth has been visited by nonhuman intelligence, but why there's nothing irrational about thinking seriously about aliens- Could AI ever become conscious? What would scientists actually need to observe before saying it has consciousness?- What consciousness really is, the different levels of consciousness, whether consciousness creates us or we create consciousness, and why understanding how the brain processes information from our five senses may be the key to solving it- What death actually is, what collective consciousness could imply, and whether nonspeaking autistic individuals may be accessing reality in fundamentally different ways- Similarities between near death experiences and DMT, including the mystery of ego death- Whether there's something beyond memory that connects us to our past- Why time may not be as linear as we experience it, and how our brains shape our perception of time- The Many Worlds theory, why multiple universes may mathematically exist, the new scientific frameworks researchers are developing, how entropy could unlock these ideas, and what time travel between universes would actually require- Why scientists who are absolutely certain they're right may actually be hurting science itself- A scientific and philosophical approach to understanding people who claim they've been abducted by aliens- How we determine what truly has consciousness, and why that question affects how we should treat AI, animals, and potentially other forms of intelligence- Why humans experience romantic attraction and what may actually be happening beneath the surface when we feel drawn to another person- Physiology behind people who appear unusually sensitive to changes in entropy- Evidence, controversies, and scientific questions surrounding biofield therapy and whether intention could influence cancer cells- Why humans vary so dramatically in their physiology, and how that should change the way we approach trauma treatment- Why religion may have been a necessary social technology for human evolution- Why Godzilla reflects humanity's attempt to understand overwhelming forces like nuclear war and other events beyond our control- How much of reality is objectively shared, and how much is filtered through our own unique perceptionsIf you enjoy conversations that challenge your understanding of reality while staying grounded in science, philosophy, and evidence, this episode is for you!All the Buzz, None of the Booze — get 15% off your first order at http://kavahaven.com/breaker Head to https://Superpower.com and use code BREAK at checkout for $50 off your membership.

I really thrive in doing curious, deep listening when I'm with people, and when you are in a mindset to listen, I think you can collect data at a rapid pace.Values-aligned investing becomes more accessible when advisors start with people's values instead of their account balances.That is the work Michelle Hoexum leads as CEO of Revalue, a Registered Investment Advisory firm and Purpose Built 100 winner. During this episode, Michelle explained how Revalue grew from early work in community impact investing into a fast-growing firm helping individuals, organizations and nonprofits align money with purpose.The traditional financial industry often leaves people out until they have accumulated enough wealth to qualify for service. Revalue chose a different path.“We became very accessible to people in the sense that we had no account minimums,” Michelle said. “So, we would accept people that the industry was leaving behind.”That commitment shows up in practical ways. Revalue helps clients consider public market investing, patient capital in their own communities and the deeper question of what money is for. Michelle described a client experience built around education, partnership and healing.Revalue is proud to be ranked #26 on the 2026 PurposeBuilt100™ list, recognizing America's fastest-growing mission-driven companies—proof that values-aligned investing and meaningful growth can go hand in hand. Meet the Class of 2026 — see the full list of winners →“A lot of clients come to us with guilt, just a lot of baggage around money,” she said. “We are able to break down the value of money or wealth into what we call the 10 forms of capital, which really gets its roots from permaculture.”That permaculture influence helps Revalue think in systems. Instead of chasing only the fastest financial return, the firm looks for long-term yield across multiple forms of capital, including social, natural, cultural, health and financial capital.For Michelle, that work begins inside the company. “Our strongest litmus test is our internal team culture,” she said. “Without internal team culture, we can't deliver then that same strategy to our clients.”I was struck by how much of Revalue's model challenges the assumptions baked into wealth management. The firm does not simply ask clients how much money they have or how much risk they can tolerate. Michelle wants to understand what matters to them.“This is your money,” she said. “You should never feel stupid about something that you worked very hard for.”That simple sentence captures the heart of Revalue's work. Financial wellbeing should not belong only to people who already feel confident with money. Revalue is showing that investing can be values-aligned, community-centered and deeply human.tl;dr:Revalue helps clients align investments with values, community impact and long-term regenerative thinking.Michelle Hoexum emphasizes no account minimums, making financial wellbeing more accessible to people.Money conversations at Revalue include healing guilt, building confidence and honoring personal agency.Permaculture shapes the firm's systems approach to wealth, culture and multiple forms of capital.Michelle's superpower, curious translation, turns deep listening into purpose-driven strategy and action.How to Develop Curious Translation As a SuperpowerMichelle describes her superpower as being “a translator,” grounded in “curious, deep listening.” She explained, “When you are in a mindset to listen, I think you can collect data at a rapid pace.” Her gift is connecting those data points into “a purpose-driven way of executing on those missions and values,” helping people see the systems they are part of and the strategies available to them. She said that “having that vision around what's possible and how to connect those dots” is what gets her out of bed in the morning.Michelle's path illustrates that power. After earning a finance degree, she worked in international banking in Chicago but felt drawn to food and moved to New York hoping to become a pastry chef. People did not understand the leap. She kept iterating, eventually combining food, PR, nonprofit storytelling and finance. Later, through her business Propeller, she helped creative entrepreneurs who had brilliant ideas but lacked business skills. Those experiences now help her understand purpose-built founders and the impact investments Revalue supports.Practice curious, deep listening before offering advice or solutions.Collect the data points people reveal through stories, values and context.Look for patterns across systems instead of treating problems in isolation.Translate what you hear into a purpose-driven strategy people can act on.Keep iterating when others do not understand your path or idea.Use story sharing to build trust, community and understanding.Harness who you are instead of trying to copy someone else's superpower.Find aligned people who strengthen your gifts and help them grow.By following Michelle's example and advice, you can make curious translation a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMichelle Hoexum (she/her):CEO, RevalueAbout Revalue: Revalue, is a Registered Investment Advisory firm, that lives at the edge. The fertile boundary where life takes hold. It is here, at this edge, that we are growing into the fullest expression of what's possible: where more people reach the resources they need, grow deeper roots, and live abundance.We lead regeneratively, using the wisdom of permaculture to inform how we think, plan, and grow. Observing before acting, working with what's already alive in a system rather than against it, designing for the long yield, not the quick one. We love to serve, and service means honoring sovereignty: every person we work with holds their own agency, their own path, their own way of defining a life well-lived. Our role is to help heal. Be it money stories, or the flow of capital for the collective good, for humanity, with humanity.We hold that true wealth is multidimensional, made up of many forms of capital. Social, natural, cultural, spiritual, material, intellectual, health, attention, built, and financial. These multiple forms of capital are important because a whole life is not built from one root alone. We center on healing, recognizing that how capital has moved in the past has often left depletion in its wake. Our work is to help it flow differently, replenishing what it touches rather than extracting from it.There is no single right way to grow. We honor many paths. Revalue holds space for all of them, the way a healthy edge holds many species at once, each thriving because of, not despite, its neighbors.Website: revalueinvesting.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/revalueinvesting/Biographical Information: I live in a 100-year-old house with floors made from then 100 yr old trees.

What if the thing you've spent years trying to hide is also connected to strengths you haven't fully recognized?Raja Vaidya knows what it means to have other people make assumptions about what you can do.Raja is a scientist turned keynote speaker, Grandmaster Black Belt, author and TEDx speaker who has lived with a stutter throughout his life. For years, speaking could be exhausting. Singing was different. So was martial arts. Both became places where Raja discovered ways to communicate, perform and lead without allowing his speech to define what he could accomplish.In this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business, Jennifer R. Glass talks with Raja about invisible disabilities, fear, workplace inclusion and what happens when someone else's perception of your abilities begins affecting your opportunities.Raja shares what happened during his career in cancer research when colleagues routinely presented his work because meetings didn't accommodate the additional time he sometimes needed to speak. Those colleagues received visibility and promotions while Raja's own contributions became less visible. Eventually, one colleague left his name off a presentation altogether.That experience helped force a change.Raja began developing his speaking skills, joined Toastmasters and increasingly confronted the fear that had shaped many of his decisions. He eventually stepped onto the TEDx stage, not because his stutter disappeared, but because what he wanted to say became more important than his fear of saying it.Jennifer and Raja also discuss:• Why singing can change the experience of someone who stutters• The difference between a limitation and someone else's perception of one• How workplaces can unintentionally silence talented employees• What leaders may overlook about employees with invisible disabilities• How martial arts helped Raja develop a different approach to communication• Why fear can protect us while also preventing us from pursuing opportunities• The opportunity Raja gave up because he feared being interviewed on television• What TEDx taught him about speaking when speaking itself is difficult• Why Raja says, “Don't fake it till you make it. Believe it and become it.”The conversation is ultimately about more than stuttering.It's about recognizing how easily a perceived weakness can become a box, whether that box is created by other people or by ourselves, and what can happen when we begin challenging it.Connect with Raja Vaidya and learn more about his speaking, coaching and work through the links below.Disclosure: Jennifer R. Glass and Raja Vaidya participated in a reciprocal speaking arrangement in which each provided a speaking appearance for the other's platform.

How do we prepare the next generation to handle family legacy? Scott Feld reveals how to reprogram default beliefs and build inner confidence in future family business stewards. Building a lasting multi-generational legacy isn't just about financial inheritance or structural governance—it starts with the emotional health of the children who will one day carry it. Without genuine self-worth and resilience, even the most pristine estate plan can collapse under the weight of self-doubt, fear of failure, and the intense anxiety of stepping into big shoes. In this episode of Safe Space, host Francesco Lombardo sits down with youth mindset expert, award-winning author, and founder of The Power-UP Experiences, Scott Feld. Drawing from over 30 years of coaching kids, teachers, and young entrepreneurs, Scott reveals how family business owners can help the next generation unlock their inner superpowers before they ever step into the boardroom. We tackle the core root of succession anxiety: default beliefs. Scott explains how the subconscious programming formed in early childhood shapes how future leaders handle high-pressure responsibility, personal failure, and internal pressure. Through practical visualization tools, positive self-talk, and purpose-driven parenting, Scott demonstrates how to protect young successors from imposter syndrome and help them build lasting confidence from the inside out. Whether you are a founder preparing your children for future leadership or a parent wanting to cultivate emotional governance in your family system, this conversation delivers human-centered tools to align personal growth with generational continuity. Learn how shifting focus from external performance to internal empowerment transforms anxious heirs into grounded, self-aware stewards capable of thriving on their own terms.

Andrew Bayliss, author of Sparta: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Superpower, Part One: Bayliss details Sparta's emergence as a classical Greek superpower, emphasizing its unique geography in the Eurotas valley. Bayliss explains the origin of Sparta's dual-kingship compromise and its complete dependence on "helots" (enslaved cousins), who were subjugated through systemic state terror and regularized beatings. The discussion explores the rigorous Agoge system, which began at age seven and subjected young boys to physical training, starvation, and tactical stealing. Additionally, Spartan women were trained to be strong, athletic mothers. The segment concludes with the Persian Wars, highlighting the legendary stand of the 300 at Thermopylae and the naval battle of Salamis. (1)

What happens to human intelligence in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence? In this special conversation, Dr. JC Doornick sits down with world-renowned brain coach and bestselling author Jim Kwik to explore his new book, Limitless Daily, and why developing our own minds may be more important now than ever. As AI becomes faster, smarter, and more integrated into everyday life, Jim makes the case that Artificial Intelligence still depends on Human Intelligence—our ability to think critically, ask better questions, remain curious, learn faster, remember what matters, and consciously direct our attention. But becoming limitless isn't something you do once. It's something you practice daily. Jim shares the philosophy behind Limitless Daily, a book designed to give you a powerful lesson, insight, or mental reset every day of the year. Think of it as daily training for your brain—a way to intentionally win the morning before the world gets a chance to program your mind for you. JC also shares how reading Limitless Daily each morning became an unexpected companion during his cancer recovery, often delivering exactly the lesson, perspective, or question he needed that particular day. This conversation explores brain health, focus, memory, mindset, morning routines, lifelong learning, the relationship between AI and HI, and what it really means to become limitless—not by doing more, but by learning how to better use the most powerful technology you'll ever possess: Your own mind. If you've been wondering how to stay focused, capable, creative, and distinctly human in the age of AI, this conversation with Jim Kwik is one you won't want to miss.

Your Next Best Step: Helping Small Business owners build a plan for a brighter future
When I was growing up, my grandfather used to tell me, "Theresa, you ask too many questions." I was always curious—about his life, his experiences, how things worked, and why people did things the way they did. What I didn't realize then was that all those questions were helping me develop one of the most valuable skills I've carried into business. Curiosity became especially important when I started working in the scientific world. I had failed every science class I'd ever taken, yet suddenly I was talking to cancer researchers about highly technical equipment and experiments. I didn't know everything—but I knew how to ask questions. I got curious about how things worked, why they mattered, and what impact they could have. That curiosity eventually helped me move into leadership, build my first business, build my consulting business, and help hundreds of founders understand how their businesses actually work. In this episode, I'm breaking down why curiosity is such an underrated business skill and the three questions I want every business owner to keep asking: How does this work? How can I make it better? And what impact do I ultimately want to make? Because whether your business is growing like crazy or you're facing hurdle after hurdle, curiosity gives you a way forward. Instead of assuming you know the answer, you start asking better questions—and that's where growth begins. Stay curious. It may be one of the most valuable things you bring to your business. Key Takeaways: • Curiosity is an incredibly powerful—and often overlooked—skill for business owners. • You don't have to know everything before you can figure something out. • Asking better questions can help you quickly build knowledge in unfamiliar industries. • Understanding how something works gives you the foundation for improving it. • When something isn't working, curiosity helps you investigate instead of immediately giving up. • Don't blindly copy competitors' pricing, processes, or decisions without understanding the thinking behind them. • Business numbers tell a story, but you have to be curious enough to understand what that story actually means. • Look beyond vanity metrics like likes, clicks, impressions, and top-line revenue. • Stay curious about how you can make the business better for yourself, your team, and your customers. • Most importantly, stay curious about the impact you want your business to make.

What if part of the drive that built your company began as a childhood defense mechanism?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Dr. Gillian O'Shea Brown, a psychotherapist, complex trauma specialist, and NYU adjunct faculty member whose second book, Psyche's Awakening, comes out in September. Founders started finding her without her ever setting out to work with them, and she explains what she has noticed in that rare window into a guarded mind: that success often functions as a thermostat for psychological safety, and that the goalpost tends to keep moving even after the exit.They explore whether healing your wounds costs you the edge that got you here, what a gut feeling actually is and how Gillian connects intuition with nervous-system regulation, and why some companies rely more on process and less on intuition as they scale. Gillian also walks through how she helps people find the patterns underneath their behavior, using questions Marc and Ben put to her about their own lives.If you're a founder wondering what's underneath your drive, an operator trying to build somewhere that feels psychologically safe, or anyone curious how childhood patterns show up at work, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles look ahead to the midterms and ask whether Donald Trump's political dominance is finally starting to crack—or whether Democrats are getting ahead of themselves. They break down the unreliable polling, Trump's unusual ability to bring hesitant voters back to his side at the last moment, the races that could determine control of the House and Senate, and the surprising Republican confidence that they can hold key states including Texas. They also examine Trump's record of backing risky candidates like Ken Paxton, the enormous sums being poured into competitive races, and how Trump is already trying to shape the rules of the election through mail voting restrictions, redistricting and polling-place monitoring. But the most consequential question comes at the end: if Trump loses and declares the election rigged, will the people around him finally distance themselves—or once again follow him beyond the bounds of what is politically acceptable? #ad Head to https://Superpower.com and use code BEAST at checkout for $20 off your membership.

Daily Boost Podcast Awareness Is A Superpower August 27, 2026 | Episode 5529 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Most people drift through life without ever noticing what's really happening. They set goals, make plans, and then wonder why nothing changes. I found a fix years ago, and it takes about ten minutes a day. It's called the Daily Awareness Diary. Nine questions, asked the same way every morning, until you can't hide from the answers anymore. You're going to hate the name. You might hate the first few days. But by day four or five, you'll see yourself clearly, maybe for the first time in years. Give it a listen, then give it a try. Featured Story Years ago I kept running into the same wall with people I coached. I'd ask about their beliefs, their values, the actions they were taking. And they'd make it up, not on purpose. They couldn't remember. They didn't know. So I started thinking about personal trainers. They tell you to track your diet for a week before they build a plan for you. Nobody argues with that. I could do the same thing with a life. Track it for a week or two, read between the lines, and the answer shows up on its own. I built nine questions and handed them to my Face Your Passion group. What came back surprised even me. Important Points Ask yourself the same questions daily. The questions stay fixed, your life moves, and the real pattern shows up. Look back before you look forward. Yesterday's honest scorecard tells you exactly what you need to fix today. Plan your responses before the day starts. Decide how you will answer, and most of your stress vanishes. Memorable Quotes You can only write things down and make something up for a limited time until you see what is actually happening. If I can point your awareness in the direction it needs to be and then give you a way to make adjustments, we can. I am here to tell you, this silly idea called a Daily Awareness Diary changes everything and puts you in control. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start tomorrow morning by looking back at yesterday and deciding, honestly, how you feel about what you created. Then look forward and name what you will create today, instead of working through a list somebody else handed you. Finish with one affirmation drawn from what you just saw, and then do the same thing for fifteen straight days.

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're revisiting one of the most interesting and impactful tools in the individual and corporate arsenal! The bummer news: your bank deposits could be funding the climate crisis? But we'd never give you bummer news without a solution! This week, Molly Wood speaks with Paul Moinester, founder of Topofinance, who reveals the shocking climate impact of conventional banking. Discover how just $10,000 in a major bank generates emissions equivalent to driving 10,000 miles yearly, and why moving your money to climate-friendly banks might be the easiest climate action you've never considered. Paul explains how corporations' banking emissions often exceed all their other emissions combined, and introduces innovative solutions that make greener banking both simple and profitable.Links:Topo FinancePaul MoinesterAll episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/2EsDhwQC2z Hosted on Acast.

Um, but then recruiting the right people along the way.Farm to Pet is proving that a simple, single-ingredient dog treat can challenge the highly processed pet snack aisle while building a fast-growing business.Jackson Jones, founder and CEO of Farm to Pet, started with a problem close to home: he wanted something healthier for his dog, Rooney. During the pandemic, he began experimenting in his basement with a KitchenAid mixer, a dehydrator and a simple idea.He told me, “I wanted to create something that was what I considered the healthiest treat for my dog and had an idea that we could take a chicken breast, we could take a turkey breast, and we could dehydrate that and just literally use it and nothing else.”That “nothing else” became the heart of the Farm to Pet brand. The company makes single ingredient treats in a crunchy chip format that dogs love. Jackson explained the common reaction perfectly: “That's one of the first things people ask is, are you sure it only has one ingredient? What else do you put in there?”What began as a homemade snack for Rooney has grown into a vertically integrated pet treat company with national reach. Jackson moved from the basement into one facility after another, ultimately landing in a larger production space that allows the company to meet demand. Along the way, Farm to Pet built sales through local retailers, Amazon and other channels.I was struck by Jackson's candor about the challenge. “It wasn't an overnight success by any means,” he said. “It's been steps and steps along this journey.”For me, the human interest in this story is the combination of love for a pet, entrepreneurial persistence and a clean-label product that is easy for customers to understand. Pet parents increasingly want transparency. Jackson built the company around exactly that.Farm to Pet is also raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. Jackson said the campaign grew out of the need to fund more capacity while keeping the company in family control and inviting aligned investors into the journey. You can review the campaign at startengine.com/offering/farm-to-pet.I love seeing a purpose-driven consumer brand use community capital to grow. Jackson is not just selling treats. He is helping pet owners rethink what belongs in a dog's diet, one simple chip at a time.tl;dr:Jackson turned homemade chicken chips into the fast-growing Farm to Pet brand.Single ingredient treats provide a simple, healthy alternative to processed pet snacks.Farm to Pet is scaling operations with a focus on transparency and vertical integration.Jackson's leadership blends mission-driven passion, humility, team building, and trust.Practical insights for founders show how purpose and community can fuel business growth.How to Develop Mission-Driven Leadership As a SuperpowerJackson's superpower is mission-driven leadership. As he described it, the work starts with “having a mission…that you are very passionate about” and the ability “to kind of see through the next few steps.” Just as important, he said, is “recruiting the right people along the way.” Jackson was quick to emphasize that leadership also means humility. “It starts out, I think, by knowing what you're not naturally great at,” he said. For him, leadership is not about pretending to know everything. It is about building a team, listening, observing, changing his mind and giving talented people “the space and the time and the authority” to run with important work.Jackson illustrated this superpower through his early work with Miranda, who helped shape the company's social media and marketing. He admitted he did not know Instagram and was trying to DM people without much confidence. Rather than struggle alone, he invited Miranda to join the company and lead that work. She became a key part of the team, helping bring the crowdfunding campaign and brand story to life. Jackson's role was not to control every detail. It was to recognize talent, create space for ownership and let her strengths complement his own.Know what you are not naturally great at before trying to lead every function yourself.Build around a mission you care about deeply enough to sustain you through hard days.Look a few steps ahead so your team can prepare for growth before it arrives.Recruit people whose strengths fill your gaps and trust them with real responsibility.Listen carefully, observe what people enjoy and notice where they naturally excel.Give team members the space, time and authority to make decisions and own outcomes.Stay willing to change your mind when new information or better ideas emerge.Let go of work others can do better so you can focus on scaling the mission.By following Jackson's example and advice, you can make mission-driven leadership a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJackson Jones:Founder and CEO, Farm to PetAbout Farm to Pet: Farm to Pet is a premium pet treat company committed to producing healthy, single ingredient treats for dogs.

If your kid has ever looked you directly in the eyes and lied, even when you KNOW they know that you know the truth…you probably know the immediate panic spiral:Why are they lying to me? Is this normal? Can I trust them? If they're doing this at five, what happens when they're FIFTEEN?!And suddenly, this isn't about who ate the cookie or knocked over the toy, you're imagining your teenager lying about where they are, who they're with, what happened at the party, or something much, much bigger.But here's what most of us get wrong: If we want to raise kids who tell us the truth when it really matters, we have to be careful that our reaction to lying doesn't accidentally teach them that telling us the truth is dangerous.In this episode, Deena puts on her child therapist hat and breaks down what's actually happening when kids lie and why lying doesn't automatically mean you're raising a dishonest kid. In fact, there are several completely different reasons kids lie, and each one needs a different response.You'll leave this episode knowing why your kid is lying, what their lie is actually trying to accomplish, and exactly how to respond in the moment plus:- What to say when you know they're lying- When to use consequences- Why you don't need to force a confession- How to hold your boundary without making your kid afraid to tell you the truth next time.Most importantly, you'll learn exactly what to say and do when your kid lies to your face, without being permissive, letting them "get away with it," shaming them, or turning the whole thing into a 45-minute interrogation.Someday, the mistake won't be a stolen cookie, an iPad after bedtime, or marker on the table. It'll be something bigger. And in that moment, we want the thought that's louder than I'm going to be in so much trouble to be:I need to tell my mom.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Send us Fan MailA pet medicine mishap kicks things off as we relive “Pilgate,” the moment Brik knocked arthritis meds off the counter and Bernoulli and Beaker ate a truly scary number of pills. Once everyone is safe, we shift to a bigger question that hits home for parents and teachers: are we asking kids to learn on devices that are built to distract them?We break down the changing screen time recommendations in schools, including major limits like those adopted by Los Angeles Unified, and why the evidence keeps pointing in the same direction: excessive classroom screen use is linked with weaker attention, worse reading outcomes, less handwriting, and more off-task behavior. We're careful about cause versus correlation, but we also get practical about what teachers see every day when an “entertainment machine” sits on a desk for hours. We talk about when technology actually helps, like targeted practice and the right science simulations, and why paper still wins so often.Then it's pet science time. A 2026 iScience study uses dog fMRI to test whether dogs can read emotion from human faces alone. The results are surprisingly sweet: happy faces light up reward-related brain regions, and dogs show different brain patterns for different negative expressions, even without voice, smell, or body language.Finally, we welcome back Dr. Jen Golbeck, professor, social media and AI researcher, and author of Think Like a Dog. We explore positive psychology for dogs, whether dogs “laugh,” how scent work can give a dog purpose, and how understanding a dog's perspective can improve behavior and well-being.

Australia has become a laboratory for the energy transition, what can the rest of the world learn? After two weeks travelling across Australia and meeting the leaders shaping its energy transition, Michael Liebreich got a close up view of the country's transformation. For the final episode of Cleaning Up's Deep Dive Australia series, the host becomes the guest as Anna Freeman of the Energy Efficiency Council turns the tables and puts Michael in the hot seat to ask him what he has learned. Michael divides his takeaways into the good, the less good and the “downright ugly”, from Australia's extraordinary rooftop solar and battery uptake to its struggles with wind, transmission and diesel.

Nearly six months into an escalating conflict with Iran, the White House has unveiled "Operation Economic Outcast" - a sweeping financial campaign aimed at completely isolating Tehran from the global economy. Speaking on direct orders from Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the offensive, framing the measures as an economic equivalent to the Normandy landings. The objective is clear: cut off every remaining financial artery and economic lifeline sustaining the regime until Iran stands completely isolated on the world stage. But does the U.S. also risk tensions with China? Independent media has never been more important.

And there's a mix of things that I would put into that toolbox that I think have supported me on my leadership journey.Communication Service for the Deaf is expanding opportunity for deaf and hard of hearing people by fighting bias as much as by improving access.When I welcomed Chris Soukup, CEO of Communication Service for the Deaf, back to this episode, I wanted to understand how CSD's work has evolved over its 50-year history. Chris described a mission rooted in “a persevering commitment to advancing the quality of life for people who are deaf and for the broader disability community.”For decades, CSD helped lead the push for communication access. That work mattered. Interpreting services, video relay and new technologies opened doors that had long been closed.But Chris explained that access alone did not change the economic reality for the community. Employment barriers remained stubbornly high.“We're really confronting challenges with misperception and bias,” Chris said. He noted that the barrier often appears at the very start of a job search, when a deaf applicant identifies themselves and an employer immediately imagines cost, complexity or extra work.“That blocker has really made it difficult for our community to make meaningful progress,” he said.CSD is responding in every direction. Chris called the work “a process of breaking down barriers by land, by air, by sea.” That means media engagement, policy work, corporate partnerships, employee resource groups, storytelling and matching motivated employers with talented deaf professionals ready to contribute.One part of the work especially excites Chris: entrepreneurship. CSD supports deaf founders building their own businesses. As Chris explained, when those entrepreneurs succeed, “they turn right back around, and they hire from their community.”That creates a powerful cycle. Deaf business owners build companies, employ others and become proof points that help dismantle bias for the next person.Chris also reminded me that accessibility is still a matter of safety. In a 911 emergency, a deaf person may have to wait several minutes for a video relay interpreter before even reaching a dispatcher. In a crisis, that delay can be life or death.Chris's response is characteristic of CSD's culture: “There's a better way.”That optimism is not naive. It comes from 50 years of pushing systems to become more humane, more accessible and more just. CSD's work shows that inclusion is not charity. It is infrastructure. It is innovation. It is economic opportunity.tl;dr:CSD's 50-year commitment expands communication access, employment, and economic opportunity for deaf communities.Bias often blocks talented deaf professionals before employers recognize their value.Entrepreneurship is a powerful path for deaf leaders to create jobs and opportunities.Accessible emergency communication remains a critical issue of safety and equity.Chris's superpower is authentic perseverance in advocating for systemic change and inclusion.How to Develop Authentic Perseverance As a SuperpowerChris's superpower is authentic perseverance. He said leadership requires a “toolbox,” beginning with “authenticity.” Early in his career, he struggled with preconceived ideas of how a leader should behave. Over time, he learned that “you're doing yourself and the people that you support a disservice by not representing yourself in a way that really reflects the person that you are.” He also emphasized persistence: “Nothing happens overnight,” and “change happens by showing up every day and being committed to making a difference.”Chris described an awakening that came from noticing where he felt most effective. One-on-one, he could use humor, tell stories, share experiences, use metaphors and speak honestly about big goals and fears. He realized he could bring that same intimacy to a larger audience. Instead of manufacturing a leadership persona, he chose to show more of himself. That authenticity helped him connect more deeply and lead more effectively, whether speaking with one person or many.Stop performing a leadership role and identify what is genuinely true about your strengths and vulnerabilities.Practice sharing the messy mix that makes you human, including humor, confidence, fears and limitations.Notice where you feel most natural and effective, then bring that presence into bigger settings.Keep showing up month after month, even when meaningful change takes longer than expected.Stay focused on the world you want to create and keep moving toward it with resilience.By following Chris's example and advice, you can make authentic perseverance a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileChris Soukup (he/him):CEO, Communication Service for the DeafAbout Communication Service for the Deaf: Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD) is the largest Deaf-led social impact organization in the world.

Scott Galloway joins Bill Maher for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of American men, modern dating, AI, and the economy. The bestselling author, host of The Prof G Pod, and co-host of Pivot argues that young men have more agency than they think, and that learning to handle rejection is part of moving forward. He and Bill get into porn, the incel movement, the manosphere, why humor and kindness still matter, and why men should pick up the check. Galloway tells the story of meeting his wife, debates Bill on the existential risks of AI, and weighs in on China's growing AI advantage, tariffs, capitalism, the shrinking middle class, inherited wealth, and whether older generations have tilted the economy too far in their own favor..

Roland Pease explores how decades of strategic investment and diligent educational reform have brought China to the brink of global scientific dominance. As the world's other scientific superpowers seemingly retreat from their historical high ground, how has China achieved such remarkable progress, both in applied and fundamental sciences? And what might that mean for the rest of us?Image: A humanoid robot competes in the 1500m final at the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games, at the National Speed Skating Oval in Beijing, China on 15 August 2025 (Credit: Tingshu Wan/Reuters)
The Coherency Creator: Feminine Leadership Archetype #7 of 8 "Through my presence, I bring things into order. I see what is out of alignment. I can pinpoint what causes disharmony." There is so much chaos, noise, and incoherency being thrown at us right now — and within us.The Coherency Creator gives us access to our power to work with the field - our own inner field and the fields (ecosystems, situations, relationships, interactions) we show up in - to bring situations, relationships, and realities into a resonant state of order and harmony. Not by fixing, saving or forcing. But through our presence. And our ability to speak and embody what is called the power of "loving truth." Consider this: We each can choose to be leaders in our lives, relationships, teams, family systems and community. We each have the power to shift a room, create harmony and order out of chaos and conflict, and open space for new possibility. Just by showing up centered, grounded, and clear. Which sounds much easier than it is in real time practice! In this episode, we welcome in The Coherency Creator to explore what it means to consciously wield this power in your life right now. Here's a snippet of the power within us when we tap into this … "I lead us to create structure that innately creates harmony between all the parts." (get the full written transmission here) Why this matters now: The chaos we are experiencing all around us is not accidental. When there is continual chaos, it keeps people stuck in the shadow frequencies of fear, blame, shame, and isolation. And we cannot create what's next from inside of that. The more of us who can consciously show up as coherency creators - in our own inner field first, and then in the fields around us - the more we shift what's possible. We don't have to fix it all. We don't have to be at the top of a hierarchy to embody this power. Often our most powerful act is simply to be a grounded, compassionate, honest, and clear presence in the room. Some of What We'll explore: Coherency as a Superpower - what it actually is, why it's so undervalued, and why the words alignment, resonance, harmony, beauty, clarity, presence, ease, and grace matter more than ever right now Your Body, Voice & Being as a Sword of Loving Truth - a somatic practice for understanding how your presence, energy, frequency, and essence work together to shift a room and create harmony and order out of chaos and conflict Incoherency Indicators - how to recognize when you're out of coherency in yourself or in the field, so you can work with your emotions and judgments and shift your energy on the inside before responding on the outside The Drama Triangle Flip - moving from victim, perpetrator, and fixer into creator, challenger, and coach — a simple but mighty tool for creating coherency Three Practices - simple, medium, large: Get Curious Instead of Critical; Proactive Power Pauses; and a five-part Elevation Practice for moving from incoherency to harmony step by step P.S. ✨ Get access to other episodes in this series here on the Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library.
