In near-perfect conditions following a week of brutal French heat, Sunday's Paris Diamond League produced three Diamond League records.In this episode:– Audrey Werro came to Paris explicitly targeting the women's 800m world record and ran a personal best of 1:53.80 — a Diamond League record, meet record, world lead, and Swiss national record. She's now the only woman ever with multiple sub-1:54 performances (three of them, all this season). The world record is 1:53.28, set by Jarmila Kratochvílová in 1983. Werro is 0.52 back.– Femke Broeders-Bol's 800m transition is real. The reigning 400m hurdles world champion ran 1:55.60 in the 800m — a massive personal best — finishing second behind Werro's Diamond League record. Her move to the 800m is no longer an experiment.– Cam Myers ran 3:28.00 in the Paris Diamond League 1500m — a personal best by over a second, the 27th fastest time in history, and faster than Jakob Ingebrigtsen at the same age (Jakob ran 3:28.68 at 20). Myers beat a field that included 3:27 man Azeddine Habz and 2025 World Championship medalists Jake Wightman and Reynold Cheruiyot– What it all means for the Bowerman Mile at the Prefontaine Classic– Grant Fisher won the Paris Diamond League 5000m in 12:54.80, edging Jacob Krop (12:55.22) and Andreas Almgren (12:55.38) in a stacked field where ten athletes broke 13:00. The win also marked the fifth Diamond League victory by an American men's mid-distance runner in 2026 — the most ever in a single year, with seven meets still remaining.– Marco Arop dominates the men's 800m. He confirmed after the race that he intends to go for the record this year: “Clearly I'm in shape for it”– Trayvon Bromell beats Noah Lyles and there's Twitter comments afterward by the Olympic champion– Jamal Britt runs 12.89 PB in Paris — his 10th win of 2026, his 12th meet since April– Collen Kebinatshipi runs 43.54 Diamond League record in Paris. + More highlights and shout-outs from around the running world including Western States.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics⁠⁠⁠ + Mac Fleet | @macfleetProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

In the aftermath of World War II, the Swiss composer Arthur Honegger, who had been living in occupied Paris throughout the war, wrote a new symphony entitled "Liturgical." He wrote an extended commentary on the piece, which included these lines: "My intention in this work was to symbolize the reaction of modern man against the morass of barbarism, stupidity, suffering, machine-mindedness, and bureaucracy that has been besieging us for some years now. I have reproduced in musical terms the combat that is joined in man's heart between yielding to the blind forces that encircle him and his instinct for happiness, his love of peace, his apprehension of a divine refuge. My symphony is, if you like, a drama played out between three characters, whether real or symbolic: misery, happiness, and man. These are everlasting themes. I have tried to give them new life." It doesn't get much clearer than that in terms of a "message" behind a piece, and the symphony reflects these feelings of Honegger's in almost every note. This is not a symphony to be taken lightly, and over the course of its roughly 30-minute runtime, Honegger explores these ideas from three different perspectives, all centered around the Catholic liturgy. In this symphony, we find an attempt at understanding after the unthinkable had occurred, a passionate condemnation of war, and a search for eternal peace. This is a symphony that, in its heyday, was fairly popular, with recordings by two of the world's great conductors, Herbert von Karajan and Charles Munch, but it slowly faded from concert stages and is now very rarely performed. Thanks to Staffan for sponsoring today's episode on this symphony, which was a discovery for me and which I think will be a discovery for many of you as well. Today we'll talk about the detailed program that Honegger attached to the symphony, the liturgical connections in the piece, and of course the music itself. Join us!

Craving childhood comfort foods? You're not alone—and there's a fascinating reason why certain tastes and memories hit us harder than others.Discover how food nostalgia and emotional anchors shape what we crave, what we remember, and what we mourn when we change our diets. From Swiss rolls that lit up lunchtime to the magic of childhood candies, explore how our food memories aren't just about taste, they're about safety, routine, and identity. We break down the science behind the Proust effect, revealing how smells and flavors trigger emotional memories that can influence your food choices today. You'll discover how nostalgia keeps some foods alive in our hearts (and mouths), even if they no longer serve our health. Plus, learn why your palate evolution, and the changing ingredients in beloved treats, make some foods taste completely different now.This episode is perfect for anyone navigating dietary changes, battling food cravings, or curious about the deep connection between food and emotion. Whether you miss the thrill of a childhood treat or want to understand your ongoing food rituals, you'll leave with a new perspective on the grief, and joy, of eating.Why do we grieve our favorite foods? How do memories shape your current cravings? And what does your food nostalgia say about who you are today? Tune in to explore these questions—and maybe even find the courage to indulge in that nostalgic snack guilt-free.Warning: listening may inspire you to revisit some old favorites, but beware—you might just start craving a Swiss roll or a big bag of Doritos all over again.

Swiss bond yields are almost back at zero. The key two-year instrument yields just a couple of basis points and is very likely going to be negative again relatively soon. As we know, Swiss interest rates have very little to do with Switzerland. As a global money center, this is where money goes when it doesn't want to be anywhere else – even to the point international financials are willing to accept zero return to be there. Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre-------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you have a retirement account and you've been wondering whether crypto belongs inside it, BlockTrustIRA is something worth looking into.

The wool is being pulled completely over our eyes, and today we are dropping the absolute hammer of truth on the diplomatic theater in Switzerland!

As marathon runners, we think we understand endurance, pacing, and the tech that drives our sport. But what happens when you take the legs out of the equation and replace them with Formula 1 engineering, 3D-printed hard gloves, and highway-speed descents?In this episode, I sit down with an absolute titan of endurance sports: Marcel Hug, the "Swiss Silver Bullet." He is a 12-time Paralympic Gold Medalist and the most dominant athlete across the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Marcel just matched a historic milestone by winning his eighth London Marathon, and I wanted to bridge the gap between our running community and his world.We skip the fluff and go straight into the sports science. Marcel breaks down why he can race 8 to 9 marathons a year when we can barely survive two, how he navigates extreme downhills at 80 km/h (50 mph) without a steering wheel, and how his custom-molded carbon chassis ensures zero energy loss. If you love high-performance gear, brutal physiology, and the elite mindset, this conversation will completely change how you view marathon speed.The "Silver Bullet" Trademark: How a simple Christmas gift from his junior coach became a global symbol of dominance.The 9-Marathon Season: Why the smooth, cyclical physics of a push-rim chair allow wheelchair athletes to race nearly ten marathons a year with minimal joint impact.Technical Analysis (Chassis vs. Shoes): While we look for energy return in foam, Marcel looks for zero energy loss in his rigid, custom-molded carbon fiber seat.Punching at 20 MPH: The material science behind 3D-printed hard gloves and how athletes "hit" the push-rim rather than grabbing it.The Wind Tunnel Discovery: Why F1 aerodynamics forced a shift from solid disc wheels back to open-spoke wheels.The Strict Mindset of a Champion: A rare look at Marcel's internal dialogue when pushing the absolute limit entirely alone at the front of a Major.My Favorite Moment: "In a daily wheelchair, you grab the wheels with your fingers. With racing gloves, you punch the rim. Every single ounce of energy from your upper body has to go directly into forward movement." — Marcel HugConnect with Us:Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournalFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607Connect with Us:

We're on summer hours, but we wanted to keep something in your feed as much as we can — so this one comes from our Watches Of podcast, a conversation Gabe recorded in person with Claude Greisler of Armin Strom. Claude is one of the brand's two modern co-founders and its master watchmaker, and he made the trip out to Los Angeles for Open House, where a full spread of the Armin Strom collection was on the tables. Before the watches, the two sat down for a wide-ranging talk about how he got here. Claude's path is what makes this one worth your time. He grew up in a family of watchmakers, trained for the better part of a decade across Swiss watchmaking, restoration, and movement construction, and cut his teeth on high complications at Christophe Claret. But unlike so many of his peers, he never put his own name on a dial. Instead, with his childhood friend Serge Michel, he took over Armin Strom: a legendary local watchmaker whose vision was a single, clear idea — the movement should be the star of the watch. That conviction is the spine of the conversation, from the decision to become a true in-house manufacturer to the brand's signature complications and its philosophy of transparent mechanics. This is also, at heart, an Openwork episode. What we keep coming back to on this show is the power of a clear, strong brand identity, and Armin Strom is a near-perfect case study: a watchmaker who walked away from the obvious move to inherit a brand with a reason for being, then re-engineered it from scratch. Along the way, Claude demystifies resonance — what it actually is, and why Armin Strom's approach to it is so distinct — using a couple of analogies that made it click for Gabe, and probably will for you too. We'll be back next week with a regularly scheduled episode. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology.

Football chooses us. We chase the highs. And one day… the game ends.   Host Ryan Walters sits with players in the ultimate what-if scenario: seconds from a World Cup Final as their careers flash before their eyes. Matches, milestones, moments, mistakes, people. This is football in full life, in full vision. This is Tunnel Vision.   In this episode, Ryan sits down with Charyl Chappuis, the Swiss-Thai midfielder who built a career across two continents. A FIFA U17 World Cup winner with Switzerland, and 2014 AFF Championship hero with Thailand, he quickly became one of Thai football's most beloved figures.    Honest, warm, and quietly profound, this is the story of a man who gave everything to two countries and spent his life proving that belonging isn't about where you're from, it's about what you give.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of World Cup, Canadian national team, and even Vancouver Whitecaps chat. The World Cup is in full flow and it's been a fantastic feast of footballing action with many twists and turns along the way. Canada is doing the country proud, claiming their first ever win and clean sheet at the tournament in their 6-0 demolition of Qatar to top Group B. We look back at the historic match and occasion, and get some postgame reaction from Alistair Johnston, Ali Ahmed, and Max Crepeau, and look ahead to the big Switzerland clash on Wednesday. Egypt also got their first ever World Cup win on Sunday, in a 3-1 come-from-behind victory over New Zealand and we bring you some postgame audio and chats with Egypt's Mo Salah and New Zealand's Finn Surman, Michael Boxall, Francis de Vries, and Elijah Just. We also cast our eyes over the tournament so far after day 10 as all three host nations are flying high. Who's impressed, who's disappointed, and can Scotland make it to the knockout rounds for the first time?

Trump threatens Iran during Swiss talks, FIFA folks falling in love with Bucees, Mayor Jones wants to cancel Kanye, and UK Minister Starmer quits.

Most Americans know George Washington as a general and president — but few know him as an obsessive surveyor and land speculator with his eye fixed on the West. In this episode, Newt talks with award-winning historian Brady Crytzer about his new book, “The National Road: George Washington and America's First Highway West.” Crytzer traces Washington's lifelong fixation on connecting the Potomac to the Ohio River, the five crises that threatened westward expansion during Washington's presidency, and the unlikely partnership with Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin — a Swiss-born frontiersman who turned Washington's river-centric dream into America's first great federally funded highway. They explore how the Cumberland Road became a blueprint for the modern interstate system, why it was simultaneously "too early and too late," and what lessons this audacious infrastructure project offers a nation marking 250 years of independence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Romans 8:31-39 Absolved from the Penalty of Sin Christ Died for Us (vv. 31-32) God has freely given His Son God will freely give us His inheritance (8:16-17) Justified from the Prosecution of Sin Christ Stands by Us (vv. 33-34) The Judge The Judged The Justifier The Justified Victorious over the Power of Sin Christ Loves Us (vv. 35-39) The security of His love over adversity The safety of His love over adversaries The celebration of His love over all! More to Consider As a young man in Europe, I did considerable mountain climbing in the Swiss Alps and in the more dangerous and difficult French Alps. Roped together with other young men, I scaled many a peak; my snapshot book records moments of difficulty and peril that make me wish to restrain others who might venture into similar places. The first time I went out with a young Frenchman, son of a pastor, and a young Swiss bank clerk. They gave me sound advice: "You have two hands and two feet, and that makes four. Always be sure that three out of the four are firmly on the rock. It is the only rule of safety." Donald Grey Barnhouse I had just gone through a series of medical tests. Fearful of the results, I went swimming at the local YMCA to pass the time. There I noticed a father carrying his son over to the deep end. Still holding his child, he plunged into the deep water. A few seconds later they surfaced--the son laughing and brushing water from his eyes, the father guiding him safely to the pool's edge. This picture of a father and child spoke powerfully to me. I realized that just like that boy, we are protected by our heavenly Father--and when we can be confident we're in his arms. Martha Whitmore Hickman, "Heart to Heart," Today's Christian Woman. There is an old ploughman in the country I sometimes talk with, and he often says, though in uncouth words, some precious things. He said to me one day, "The other day, sir, the Devil was tempting me and I tried to answer him; but I found he was an old lawyer and understood the law a great deal better than I did, so I gave over and would not argue with him any more; so I said to him, 'What do you trouble me for?' 'Why,' said he, 'about your soul.' 'Oh!' said I, 'that is no business of mine; I have given my soul over into the hand of Christ; I have transferred everything to him; if you want an answer to your doubts and queries, you must apply to my Advocate."' Charles H. Spurgeon

What if one of the most important health crises affecting men today wasn't being caused by aging, but by the environment we live in? In this eye-opening solo episode, Darin Olien investigates the alarming decline in testosterone levels, fertility, and reproductive health among men worldwide. Drawing on decades of research, epidemiological studies, environmental science, endocrinology, and public health data, Darin examines the growing evidence connecting endocrine-disrupting chemicals, microplastics, sleep deprivation, chronic stress, poor lifestyle habits, and environmental toxins to declining testosterone levels across generations. From BPA, phthalates, atrazine, PFAS, and microplastics to sleep quality, circadian rhythms, cholesterol metabolism, cortisol regulation, and natural testosterone-supporting strategies, this episode explores what may be one of the most underreported public health issues of our time—and what men can do to take control of their health today.     What You'll Learn Why testosterone levels have been declining for decades The startling research on global sperm count decline How endocrine-disrupting chemicals interfere with hormone production Why BPA and phthalates may disrupt testosterone synthesis The role of atrazine, PFAS, and environmental toxins How chronic stress diverts resources away from testosterone production Why sleep may be the most important testosterone intervention The connection between cholesterol and hormone production How microplastics are being found throughout the human body The surprising relationship between statins and testosterone levels Natural lifestyle strategies that support healthy hormone production Practical steps to reduce environmental exposure and improve health     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:04:17 – The testosterone collapse explained 00:04:51 – Testosterone levels have been declining for decades 00:06:03 – Global sperm count decline and accelerating trends 00:07:02 – Why treating symptoms misses the root cause 00:07:27 – The hidden public health crisis 00:08:03 – Why low testosterone isn't just about aging 00:09:12 – Why hormone health affects longevity 00:09:53 – Low testosterone and increased mortality risk 00:10:35 – Testosterone's role in metabolism and cardiovascular health 00:11:27 – Endocrine-disrupting chemicals and hormone disruption 00:12:44 – BPA and its effects on testosterone production 00:13:59 – Phthalates and their impact on hormone pathways 00:16:00 – Glyphosate, atrazine, and pesticide exposure 00:17:07 – PFAS and reproductive health concerns 00:17:55 – Environmental toxins and population-wide effects 00:18:11 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:20:02 – Cholesterol and hormone production 00:20:53 – Chronic stress and cortisol dominance 00:21:45 – Actionable solutions begin 00:21:56 – Why sleep is essential for testosterone production 00:23:07 – How sleep deprivation rapidly lowers testosterone 00:23:21 – Light pollution and circadian disruption 00:23:41 – Foods and nutrients needed for hormone health 00:24:23 – Microplastics and testicular tissue 00:24:53 – Statins and unintended hormonal consequences 00:25:39 – A practical testosterone sovereignty protocol 00:25:48 – Water filtration and reducing toxic exposure 00:26:13 – Eliminating plastics and fragrance chemicals 00:26:35 – Why organic food matters 00:26:45 – Sunlight and vitamin D 00:27:05 – Magnesium, omega-3s, and iodine 00:27:26 – Pine pollen and natural androgen support 00:28:01 – Tongkat Ali and ashwagandha 00:28:48 – Strength training and lifestyle interventions 00:29:10 – Habits that naturally support testosterone 00:29:27 – Darin's approach to healthy aging 00:29:37 – Plants, herbs, and common sense 00:29:51 – Reclaiming your health and sovereignty 00:30:00 – Final thoughts and closing message     Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

It may be a reflection of the modern environment itself—one increasingly saturated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress, poor sleep, circadian disruption, and toxic exposures. While many of these forces feel outside our control, the encouraging reality is that many of the most powerful interventions remain accessible: improving sleep, reducing toxic load, eating whole foods, getting sunlight, managing stress, exercising regularly, and reclaiming responsibility for our health. The goal isn't fear. The goal is awareness—and action."     Bibliography/Sources: The Decline — Primary Research Levine, H., Jørgensen, N., Martino-Andrade, A., et al. (2022).

This week on Drinking from the Gardenhose, OB and ED cover an episode that somehow includes Swiss mountain adventure, public restroom etiquette, sports fandom, and unexpected father-son bonding. OB shares the story of taking to the skies over Switzerland in a parasailing experience that unlocked an old chapter of his life: his former days as a skydiver. From tandem jumps to solo exits, ED discovers there may be considerably more adrenaline hidden inside OB's résumé than previously advertised. Back on solid ground, the guys debate one of modern society's stranger questions: when did people decide phones belong absolutely everywhere? OB recounts an office restroom encounter that left him questioning privacy, boundaries, and whether humanity has quietly lost the plot. The conversation takes a turn for the wholesome when OB shares what might be one of his favorite texts ever: his 25-year-old son reaching out about the New York Knicks. For Knicks fans, some victories happen on the court. Others happen in the group chat. To close things out, ED explains his surprisingly strategic purchase of a U.S. Women's soccer jersey: more stars, more wins, more reasons to wear it without waiting four years. Adventure, aging, sports, dignity, and airborne self-discovery. Just another week drinking from the hose. Visit Gardenhose.vercel.app and leave a review wherever you listen.

The Swiss foreign ministry says an Iranian delegation has landed in Switzerland for talks with the United States at the Burgenstock resort to halt the conflict in the Middle East. Meantime, US Vice President JD Vance has also departed Washington for Switzerland for talks with Iran.

In this episode, it's a Merry Midyear as Rachel and Luisa once again bring a little Christmas cheer to the middle of summer! In their Around the World – Christmas segment, Rachel bakes traditional German Pfeffernüsse cookies, while Luisa makes Swiss chocolate almond cookies. Then, they sit down with baker and author Maxine Scheckter to chat about her new book, Patisserie Made Simple: The Art of Petits Gateaux. From festive flavors to elegant pastries, this episode proves that it's never the wrong season for great baking!

Today's Headlines: Trump signed the Iran peace deal remotely in a hastily arranged gaggle — not the formal Swiss ceremony originally planned — after the two-page memorandum was leaked ahead of signing, forcing him to spend his G7 time defending a deal he'd spent two days trying to keep secret. The terms are as follows:  immediate ceasefire on all fronts including Lebanon, the US ends its naval blockade and Iran opens the Strait within 30 days, the US and allies finance at least $300 billion in Iranian reconstruction, sanctions end, and Iran pinky promises no nuclear weapons with the rest of the nuclear questions to be negotiated later. Trump's own base and Netanyahu both hated it, largely because it's worse than the JCPOA Obama negotiated — which Trump spent years calling the worst deal in history. Israel continued launching strikes on Lebanon right up until the deal was signed, because of course it did. On the election beat, Trump's Senate picks won in Georgia, Oklahoma, and Alabama, but his Georgia governor pick lost to a healthcare executive who spent $200 million of his own money, and an election denier lost the Georgia secretary of state race, which is the best news of the week. Georgia Republicans also quietly admitted they don't have enough time to redistrict before the midterms, so that particular voter suppression project is on hold until at least 2028. The Trump administration announced it's dismantling the Department of Education by moving special education oversight to HHS and civil rights enforcement to the DOJ, because nothing says "we care about disabled kids" like putting their education under the same department currently being run by a guy who thinks vaccines cause autism.

This week the art world descends on Basel, a Swiss city on the Rhine River, where the latest edition of the world's most important modern and contemporary art fair is taking place. We're talking about Art Basel, of course. Its 290 exhibitors include all the top galleries of the world. It's a place where you can see and buy museum-quality Picassos and Warhols next to still-wet-paint by emerging artists, though there's not as many of those lately. Major collectors like Don and Mera Rubell are there, and so are celebrities like Kanye West and James Franco. At the center of it all is Noah Horowitz, who has been CEO of Art Basel since 2022. Noah and senior writer, Katya Kazakina, have known each other for years, throughout which he has stood at the helm of various art fairs, starting with the first online art fair called VIP in 2010. In 2011 he became the executive director of the Armory Show in New York and remained in that role for almost four years until 2015. He then advanced to Art Basel, becoming its head of the Americas, which put him in charge of Art Basel Miami Beach, the largest contemporary art fair in the United States. In 2021 Sotheby's hired Noah to lead the gallery and private dealer services worldwide, but he stayed for just a year before returning to Art Basel triumphantly as its chief executive. Noah is also the author of the book Art of the Deal: Contemporary Art in a Global Financial Market, published in 2011. For many years, Art Basel ran three art fairs, the original one in Basel, second one in Miami Beach, and the third one in Hong Kong, but in the last couple of years it added a fourth fair in Paris, and just this year another one in Qatar, raising questions about its expansion model and sustainability. It also introduced a new platform, Zero 10, for digital art, and the Art Basel Awards. Noah and Katya discussed the changing art market, digital art, and the strain art fairs place on mid-tier galleries.

When Thomas Platter, a Swiss tourist, went to see ‘Julius Caesar' at the Globe Theatre in 1599, it wasn't Shakespeare's language that attracted his attention but the ready availability of refreshments and the high quality of the players' clothes. The revolution in playmaking that he witnessed on the south bank of the Thames reflected widespread innovations in London's cultural life in the reign of Elizabeth I. For the first time, we can see the city clearly, in the panoramas and maps inspired by Dutch artists. New ideas about history are emerging in the works of Stow and Holinshed. And the growth of trade through piracy, with a new centre of commerce in Thomas Gresham's Royal Exchange, marks the beginning of England's imperial expansion. In this episode, Rosemary is joined again by Vanessa Harding to discuss this extraordinary moment in London's history and some of the reasons behind it, from Elizabeth's genius for survival to the city's lack of a university.

Ever feel like something is shifting… but you can't quite explain it? Not because anything is wrong. Not because you've failed. Not because life is falling apart. In fact, maybe the opposite is true. Maybe you've built a good life. You've worked hard. You've accomplished meaningful things. You're grateful for what you've created. And yet… lately you've felt a tug. A pull. A tension. A whisper that keeps asking: "What's next?" If that's you, this episode is for you. In this powerful DREAM THINK DO Deep Dive, Mitch explores a fascinating idea from renowned Swiss psychologist Carl Jung that may completely change how you view this season of your life. Because what if that tension you're feeling isn't a problem to solve? What if it's an invitation? What if you're not broken… what if you're simply being called into your next season? Mitch unpacks Jung's timeless framework for understanding life's seasons, why so many successful people experience this pull during transition points, and how to stop resisting change and start navigating it intentionally. Most importantly, he shares a practical tool called the Five-Word Compass that has helped coaching clients, entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders gain remarkable clarity about what's next. And the best part? You can create your own in less than 30 minutes. If you've been sensing that a new season is trying to get your attention… This conversation may be exactly what you need.
