Russia is turning up the pressure on NATO's doorstep. Estonia says three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets stormed into its airspace over the Gulf of Finland, lingering for twelve minutes in what Tallinn calls a “brazen and deliberate” violation. It's the fourth breach this year, but the first involving multiple high-performance fighters—and NATO isn't brushing it off, especially not Estonia. Krisjan Prikk, Estonia's ambassador to the U.S., explains what happened and the consequences.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Techtopia 381: Droneproduktion i UkraineFremmede droner flyver over danske lufthavne. Tilsyneladende mangler vi et forsvar mod dem. Forsvarsminister Troels Lund Poulsen udtalte flere gange på et pressemøde torsdag d. 25. september, at vi skal søge hjælpe hos “vores venner i Ukraine”, fordi de er helt med i front, når det gælder den hastige udvikling i droneteknologi.Techtopia har derfor lavet en ekstra podcast, hvor vi har været i arkivet for at finde tidligere podcasts om udviklingen af militære droner i Ukraine.Techtopia 370: Ukraines dronekrigDa Ukraine i forsommeren 2025 ødelagde en tredjedel af den russiske flåde af bombefly i et angreb med små billige droner, stod det for alvor klart, at krigen i Ukraine har forvandlet måden at føre krig på.I Ukraine forårsager droner anslået 60 til 70 procent af alle skader og tab. Traditionelle "sikre" positioner som dækning, skyttegrave eller skove er blevet ubrugelige, da droner kan jage varmesignaturer, dykke ned i skyttegrave og trænge ind i pansrede køretøjer. At blive set af en drone er ofte en dødsdom, da droner ikke kun jager, men også videresender koordinater til artilleri, hvilket udløser hurtige og præcise angreb.Droner ændrer, hvordan soldater ser, bevæger sig og overlever på slagmarken, og udfordrer selv de mest grundlæggende principper for militær overlevelse, fordi de er billige, hurtige og brutalt effektive. De demokrat iserer luftmagten, da enhver person for et par hundrede dollars kan erhverve evnen til at se, jage og dræbe på afstand. Hvad der engang tilhørte staters voldsmonopol og krævede luftbaner eller store systemer, passer nu i en rygsæk og kan sendes op fra en grøft. Dette undergraver traditionelle militære systemer og har skabt en helt ny militærindustri, der primært består af tech-startups. Droner er en af de vigtige teknologier, og de kan produceres lokalt i Ukraine, som tilfældet var med de 117 droner, der angreb de russiske luftbaser.Techtopia har mødt Eveline Buchatskiy fra det ukrainske investeringsfirma D3, som udelukkende investerer i startups, der producerer militær teknologi. D3 er en unik investeringsfond, fordi de benytter start-up strategier på et felt, som hidtil har været præget af store budgetter og langvarig udvikling og produktion.Techtopia 351: Tech-startups som drivkraft i forsvarsteknologiKrigen i Ukraine er en teknologisk krig med droner og digital kommunikation. Men teknologien er ikke altid skabt af de gammelkendte producenter af krigsmateriel. Den er skabt at tech-startups, som i stigende grad har forandret deres forretning til produktion af forsvarsteknologi.Flere af dem er i sagens natur ukrainske, men de får selskab af blandt andre tech startups fra Estland, der trods sin beskedne størrelse er en digital frontløber.Den estiske iværksætter Ragnar Sass har stiftet en hjælpeorganisation ved navn Help 99 og en fond med risikovillig kapital kaldet Dark Star, som skal investere I startups, der producerer forsvarsteknologi.Rolf Ask Clausen har været i Estlands hovedstad Tallinn og tale med Ragnar Sass.

Dalla tensione per le violazioni degli spazi aerei Nato al soft power: le strategie di Putin analizzate dal giornalista e storico Giuseppe D'Amato.

Today, Les, Jamil, Andy, and Jess unpack a dangerous new escalation on NATO's flank: three Russian MiG-31s flew through Estonian airspace for several minutes on Friday, a violation Tallinn says it can prove even as Moscow denies the incident and accuses Estonia of provocation. NATO jets — including Italian F-35s and fighters from Sweden and Finland — scrambled in response. The incursion follows recent Russian drone overflights of Poland and Romania and comes amid an uptick in attacks inside Ukraine, raising alarms across Europe about Moscow's willingness to push boundaries.How should the U.S. and NATO respond to airspace violations that creep toward Article 5 thresholds? Is the right answer a sharper military posture — more weapons and patrols for Ukraine and Baltic defenses — or tighter economic and diplomatic pressure? And with allies in Europe calling for stronger action, will Washington elevate its response or risk encouraging further Russian probing?Check out these sources which informed our experts' opinions: https://apnews.com/article/british-intelligence-mi6-russia-war-443df0c37ff2254fcc33d5425e3beaa6 @lestermunson@NotTVJessJones@jamil_n_jaffer@andykeiserLike what we're doing here?

Presa internațională a reacționat imediat după ce Estonia a acuzat Rusia că i-a încălcat spațiul aerian. Moscova respinge acuzațiile, spunând că avioanele sale au zburat deasupra apelor internaționale. Rusia continuă să mențină tensiunile cu vecinii din NATO, observă comentatorii. „Rusia testează din nou limitele NATO în Europa de Est”, rezumă El País. „Estonia, care își închisese spațiul aerian după ce mai multe drone rusești au survolat Polonia pe 10 septembrie, a văzut trei avioane survolând teritoriul său timp de 12 minute lungi. (...) Varșovia, la rândul său, a avertizat că o altă pereche de avioane de vânătoare rusești a efectuat o trecere la joasă altitudine peste una dintre platformele sale petroliere din Marea Baltică.” Le Monde titrează: ”Rusia își continuă strategia de tensiune militară cu europenii”. Incursiunea a trei aeronave rusești pe cerul Estoniei, deși negată de Moscova, este un „nou exemplu de comportament periculos al Rusiei”, potrivit NATO. Acest eveniment are loc în contextul unor exerciții militare majore de ambele părți. CNN amintește că ”incidentul de vineri are loc după ce dronele rusești au încălcat spațiul aerian polonez și cel românesc la începutul acestei luni – determinând aliații NATO să se angajeze să consolideze apărarea pe flancul estic al alianței. Miercurea trecută, avioane de vânătoare NATO au doborât mai multe drone rusești care au încălcat spațiul aerian polonez în timpul unui atac asupra Ucrainei vecine”. Un răspuns colectiv The Guardian informează că liderii UE vor discuta „răspunsul lor colectiv” la încălcările spațiului aerian european de către Rusia, într-o reuniune la Copenhaga pe 1 octombrie, după cum a declarat președintele Consiliului European, António Costa. Tallinn a denunțat imediat acest lucru ca fiind un „act fără precedent”, relatează La Repubblica. „Îngrijorarea a fost atât de mare încât prim-ministrul estonian Kristen Michal a cerut vineri seară activarea articolului 4” din Tratatul Atlanticului de Nord, care prevede „consultări formale între aliați în cazul unei amenințări directe împotriva unui partener”. Într-un interviu acordat ediției europene a Politico, ministrul estonian de externe, Margus Tsahkna, a declarat că incursiunea a demonstrat că liderul rus Vladimir Putin nu are niciun interes pentru pace. În Der Spiegel citim că sâmbătă, Ministerul Apărării din Estonia a publicat pe rețeaua X o hartă care arată presupusa traiectorie de zbor a trei avioane de vânătoare rusești MiG-31. ”Aceasta arată că avioanele au pătruns la aproximativ zece kilometri în spațiul aerian estonian părăsind coridorul internațional îngust de deasupra Golfului Finlandei. Prin această postare, statul baltic și-a reiterat acuzațiile conform cărora Rusia a încălcat spațiul aerian estonian – și, prin urmare, teritoriul NATO” Le Point observă că toți ochii au fost ațintiți asupra administrației Trump, pentru a se vedea reacția sa. „Nu-mi place. Nu-mi place când se întâmplă așa ceva”, a răspuns președintele SUA. „Ar putea fi o problemă mare. Vă voi spune mai târziu.”

A spiritual discipline we need to train is the mindset of stewardship. We need to learn the difference between ownership and stewardship. God is the creator and owner of everything. So all you are, and all you have, belongs to God. Nothing you have is really 'yours' -- God is the owner, we are the stewards. We need to ask, "Lord, what do you want me to do, with what you have given to me?"

In dieser Episode des Foodtalker Podcasts treffe ich Matthias Diether, den einzigen Zwei-Sterne-Koch im gesamten Baltikum. Geboren in Berlin und aufgewachsen in Baden-Württemberg, erzählt er offen von seiner kulinarischen Reise – von den Lehrjahren im Süden Deutschlands über Stationen bei großen Namen wie Lothar Eiermann, Dieter Müller und Sven Elverfeld, bis hin zu seiner heutigen Heimat Estland. Nach intensiven Jahren in Berlin, wo er trotz Ehrgeiz und harter Arbeit nicht den erhofften Durchbruch schaffte und schließlich nicht mehr klar kam, wagte er den Schritt ins Baltikum. Eigentlich nur für eine Saison geplant, sind daraus mittlerweile neun Jahre geworden. Heute führt er in Tallinn das „180° by Matthias Diether“, ein Restaurant mit offener Küche, spektakulärem Blick aufs Wasser und einer klaren Vision: baltische Tradition trifft internationale Spitzenküche. Wir sprechen über seinen Weg, über Anerkennung und darüber, dass er seinen Platz gefunden zu haben scheint. Matthias schildert, wie er sein internationales Team mit Leidenschaft führt – und warum er darin selbst eine Art „Papa-Rolle“ übernommen hat. Natürlich geht es auch ums Essen: Er verrät, was Gäste im 180° erwartet – von Aal mit Gänseleber und Kirsche über Wolfsbarsch mit Ochsenschwanz-Consommé bis hin zu einem Lamm in Brotkruste und raffinierten Dessert-Variationen. Und er erzählt, welches Lieblingsgericht aus seiner Kindheit er nie vergessen hat: schwäbischer Kartoffelsalat mit Käsespätzle. Wir reden auch über seine Teilnahme bei Kitchen Impossible. Dieser Auftritt brachte ihm jede Menge Aufmerksamkeit und Publitiity für sein Restaurant, genau wie seine Nominierung als Gastkoch im Hangar 7. Getroffen habe ich ihn beim Gut Food Festival auf Gut Wulksfelde – und nach diesem Gespräch steht fest: Ich werde ihn ganz sicher in Tallinn besuchen. Ein spannender Talk über Werdegang, kulinarische Prägungen und das Gefühl, endlich angekommen zu sein.

Estonia's landscape is dominated by forests and lakes. Nearly half the country is covered by dense woodlands, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The bogs, wetlands, and national parks preserve pristine ecosystems that feel untouched by time. Lahemaa National Park is particularly famous for its coastal villages and manors. Estonia's natural beauty invites visitors to slow down and reconnect with nature.The Estonian people take pride in their language, which belongs to the Finno-Ugric family, closely related to Finnish. This sets Estonia apart from its Baltic neighbors, whose languages are Indo-European. Estonian is filled with rhythm and melody, and its preservation became a symbol of independence. Folk songs are treasured, and the country hosts massive song festivals. Music is more than entertainment—it is national identity.Estonia's “Singing Revolution” of the late 1980s is legendary. Tens of thousands gathered in Tallinn to sing forbidden patriotic songs under Soviet rule. These peaceful protests shook the foundations of the Soviet Union. By 1991, Estonia regained independence, thanks to the courage of its people and the power of culture. It is a reminder that unity and art can overcome oppression. Hosted on Acast.

A Spiritual discipline that we need to train is how we use our words.  Don't speak death, doubt, fear, unbelief, anger.  But you can choose to speak life, faith, blessing, favor, truth.  With your words, you can build up and not tear down. You can steer your whole life in the way you want it to go, by training yourself to control your words.

The term “Baltic States” reflects both geography and shared history. These three nations were bound together during times of foreign rule, particularly under the Soviet Union, but today they shine as sovereign members of the European Union and NATO. They are united by geography, yet divided by unique languages, folklore, and customs. Estonia leans toward the Nordic, Latvia thrives as a diverse cultural hub, and Lithuania glows with Catholic traditions. Their differences enrich their collective story.The Baltic region is often overlooked in mainstream travel, yet it offers a wealth of beauty. Endless forests, medieval towns, sandy beaches, and lakes stretch across the land. The capitals—Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius—each hold UNESCO heritage treasures that attract visitors from around the world. Yet beyond the capitals, rural landscapes guard ancient traditions that survived through centuries of hardship. This blend of urban elegance and rustic simplicity defines the Baltic charm.Historically, the Baltic States endured countless waves of conquest—from German crusaders to Russian tsars to Soviet occupiers. Yet despite hardship, they preserved a strong sense of national pride. Their songs, dances, and languages became powerful tools of survival. The famed “Singing Revolution” of the late 20th century illustrates how culture itself became a weapon of resistance. Today, they celebrate independence with vigor and gratitude. Hosted on Acast.

A Spiritual discipline we need to train in, is  the area of serving others, and serving in church.  Giving of ourselves in our time, our talents and abilities, is what God desires from each of us.  Serve God's by serving others, and follow the example of Jesus - "pick up the towel" and serve one another.

One of the Spiritual disciplines we need to be training in, is praying in your heavenly language, inspired by the Holy Spirit.  This is one of the greatest gifts that the Lord has given to help us pray, and it is available for every believer.  It is God's way to give us an advantage in life.  

At the EUVC Summit 2025, Mehmet Atici from Bek Ventures aimed a popular narrative—that Europe is underperforming as a tech region. Not because it's untrue, but because it's incomplete.“Yes, there's catching up to do. But you can't argue there's no dynamism in Europe—it's just not evenly distributed.”And once you look closer, the picture changes fast.Much of the “Europe must act” discourse comes from the continent's largest economies—France, Germany, and the UK. But productivity data tells a different story:Poland and Bulgaria are growing steadily.Ecosystems in Tallinn, Lisbon, and Barcelona are booming—fueled in part by digital nomad visas.Eastern European founders are making waves well beyond their borders—with names behind global giants like Databricks and Snowflake.“Building a business isn't a lifestyle choice for them. It's a global ambition from day one.”These founders bring international exposure, capital efficiency, and hunger—without the insular networks that often define more mature markets.Sure, improving regulation—around stock options, company formation, or funding incentives—helps. But as Mehmet put it:“That's medicine without a proper diagnosis.”The bigger issue isn't operational—it's strategic positioning.The U.S. remains the most attractive market: a single language, deeper capital markets, and cultural cohesion.Europe's software market is just 23% of global share, compared to 43% in North America.So even if we fix the mechanics, the gravitational pull of the U.S. won't go away. And in some cases, a European identity may actually slow access to that market—not speed it up.What if fragmentation wasn't our weakness—but our untapped advantage?“The most thriving tech ecosystems are the most politically cohesive—because they serve founders, not flags.”Europe doesn't need to copy the U.S. to succeed. It needs to recognize excellence wherever it emerges, connect the dots, and support founders wherever they're starting from.In Mehmet's words:“Our opportunity is to transcend borders—not erase them.”“Let's not forget: the original EU model was ‘United in Diversity.'”It wasn't a flaw. It was a feature.Europe's next wave of global founders may not come from the centers you expect—but they're already building. Our job is to back them, bridge them, and help them win on a global stage.Let's get to it.Not Just Paris, London, BerlinEurope's Problem Isn't Just PolicyFrom Fragmentation to SuperpowerThe Original European Model Still Applies

There are spiritual disciplines we need in our life to train to become happy, stable, fruitful, blessed, so we can be a blessing.  We need to spend time to Study the Word daily.  And spend time in prayer, talking with our God, daily.  

When you are in training, you need the Holy Spirit as your trainer to help you.  He will help you to develop spiritual disciplines, and set your goals.  Have a fear of the Lord, love His commands, and a hunger for the Word.

You need to have a training mentality your spiritual life.  If you try and fail, you will quit.  But failure is part of the training process, when you  fail you will get up and keep going.  Set your spiritual goals, stay consistent, disciplined, and focused -- and with God's grace and your effort, you will get great results in your life. 

Ted och Kaj talar om moraliska dilemman. Ted presenterar ett överlägset mellanmål och Kaj har seglat till Tallinn.

Diesmal nehmen Alois und Oliver die Hörer mit auf einen Rundflug über das Thema „Deep-Tech-Standorte“ – und zwar mit Hamburg als Start- und Landeplatz. Die Folge dreht sich um die Frage: Was macht einen echten Deep-Tech-Hotspot aus? Ist es der Neon-Sci-Fi-Glanz, KI-Agenten in dunklen Kellern, oder doch einfach Talente, Labore und ein inspirierendes Umfeld?Talente, Transfermärkte und das neue Spiel mit den Super-Techies:Früher suchte man händeringend nach Techies, heute geht es um Senior-Expert:innen, die mit KI umgehen können. Der internationale Wettbewerb um die hellsten Köpfe wird immer mehr zum Transfermarkt – Zuckerberg zahlt angeblich 100 Millionen+ für GenAI-Talente, und auch in Europa tut sich was: Amsterdam, Lissabon, Tallinn und natürlich Hamburg punkten mit hoher Lebensqualität und starken Netzwerken.Europas Chancen jenseits von Silicon-Valley-Gehältern:Kann Europa mithalten, wenn alle Top-Talente von Tech-Giganten weggeheuert werden? Alois und Oliver sehen die Sache differenziert: Exorbitante Summen werden oft nur als „Ablöse“ gezahlt, und trotzdem schaffen es hiesige Start-ups wie Black Forest Labs oder Cognigic ohne US-Gehälter an die Spitze. Viel wichtiger für einen Deep-Tech-Standort: eine kritische Masse an inspirierenden Leuten, Forschungseinrichtungen (Fraunhofer, DESY, Uni & Co.), Spezial-Infrastruktur wie Teilchenbeschleuniger und – nicht zu vergessen – Lebensqualität.Wo steht Hamburg? Und was fehlt?Hamburg bietet viel: hohe Hochschuldichte, große Forschungsprojekte, Quantum-Initiativen und Innovationen aus Luftfahrt, Robotics und Logistik. Doch eine wirklich transparente „Deep-Tech-Landkarte“ fehlt bislang. Die Hosts plädieren dafür, Ökosysteme sichtbar zu machen und Talente sowie Unternehmen gezielter zu vernetzen – vielleicht sogar mal mit einer AI-gestützten Standortkarte!Und sonst?Der Talk streift das Auf und Ab von Krypto, die wachsende Bedeutung von Robotik (besonders in der Logistik), und wie rasant KI und Deep Tech die industrielle Landschaft verändern. Am Ende bleibt: Kein Standort gewinnt allein durch dicke Gehälter, sondern durch das, was wirklich zählt – Community, Austausch und Ressourcen.

We should make hearing from the Lord daily, a priority in our lives. You do not earn your right to hear from God by your actions, you would never be good enough to stand before Him. But God loves you and wants to speak to you, you can hear from God.  He has called you into a relationship with Him, through the blood of Jesus. Learn who you are, and who you are called to be. 

À 25 ans, comment les jeunes voient-ils le monde du travail, l'entrepreneuriat ? Comment se projettent-ils dans l'avenir ? RFI est allé aux quatre coins de la planète pour sonder des jeunes nés en l'an 2000 sur leurs espoirs, mais aussi les difficultés qu'ils rencontrent dans leur quotidien. Aujourd'hui, direction l'Estonie à la rencontre de Mihkel, ingénieur dans une startup de la défense.  De notre envoyé spécial à Tallinn, Mikhel nous guide dans les locaux de sa start-up installée dans un grand bâtiment en lisière de forêt. La façade de l'immeuble est en bois. À l'étage, au-dessus de ses bureaux, une cuisine partagée et un sauna. « Le sauna, c'est vrai, c'est un peu cliché », s'en amuse-t-il. Travailler dans une start-up pourrait aussi relever du cliché tant elles sont nombreuses ici. L'Estonie est le pays d'Europe qui compte le plus de start-ups par habitants, plus d'un millier pour 1,4 million d'habitants. « Ici, beaucoup de jeunes étudient les nouvelles technologies très tôt. Dès le lycée ou la fac, on nous enseigne cette culture de l'entrepreneuriat. Cela fait maintenant deux ans que je travaille dans différentes start-ups. Le vrai boom, c'était surtout il y a cinq ans. Les choses ont un peu changé depuis le Covid, il y a moins de levées de fonds et trouver de l'argent devient un peu plus difficile », explique-t-il. Mais Mihkel ne se plaint pas. Sa start-up, Wayren, est spécialisée dans la cybersécurité. « Je suis ingénieur informatique, je dessine des composants électroniques. Aujourd'hui, les start-ups qui ont le vent en poupe, c'est dans la défense. C'est notre domaine, on est en pleine expansion », confie-t-il. Car en Estonie, l'invasion de l'Ukraine en février 2022 a ravivé les craintes d'une agression du grand voisin russe et rappelé l'urgence d'investir dans l'industrie militaire. L'année prochaine, le pays va consacrer plus de 5 % de son PIB à sa défense.  « La Russie n'a jamais été très amicale avec ses voisins. Ils ont occupé l'Estonie. Maintenant, vous avez Vladimir Poutine au pouvoir qui cherche à reconstruire l'empire russe. On verra bien ce qui arrivera, redoute le jeune homme, qui avoue néanmoins réussir à mener la vie assez normale d'un jeune homme de 25 ans. Je joue aux vidéos, je sors avec des amis, on va randonner. » Une vie normale, ou presque. « J'ai fait mon service militaire juste après le lycée, je suis réserviste. J'ai rejoint ensuite la Ligue de défense estonienne qui est une force de civil destinée à venir en aide à l'armée estonienne si besoin. Moi, je suis rattaché à la section cybersécurité. De grands exercices sont organisés, on appelle cela des hackathons. On se retrouve pour simuler des attaques numériques et y répondre. » Et si Mikhel ne croit pas à une guerre avec la Russie, il considère que cette option existe. « Nous devons donc être prêts », estime-t-il.

Join "Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey and special guest Cristina KrigolsonIn this episode of  "Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey, host Joanne Carey speaks with Christina Krigolson about her journey from competition dancing to a professional ballet career . Cristina candidly shares her experiences from starting out in the ballet world, dealing with injury, making the transition to a different career and then the challenges of leaving the ballet world, that lead her to the launch of her successful online ballet coaching business, Face the Barre. They discuss the importance of positive teaching methods, mental health awareness in the dance community, and the significance of cherishing moments in the dance journey. Clearly both ladies LOVE ballet and all it offers!Christina Krigolson: graduated from Tallinn Ballet School in 2011 and joined the Estonian National Ballet where she danced until 2023. After retiring early, she tried her hand at something completely different— working in the real estate sector. At the same time, she was teaching company classes for the dancers of the Estonian National Ballet and quickly realized that the world of real estate wasn't for her. Through giving those company classes, Cristina discovered her true calling: teaching.In March 2024, Cristina launched her own online ballet coaching business, Face the Barre, which started growing rapidly about half a year later. Since then, I've taught over 100 dancers and now offer classes both online and in person in Tallinn. She is very active on all social media platforms, helping dancers of all levels and ages achieve their ballet goals. Recently becoming a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach Cristina will be able help students even further. December 2025, Cristina will be opening up her own ballet studio in Tallinn, Estonia. To find out morehttps://www.face-thebarre.com/Follow her on Instagram@face_thebarre“Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Careywherever you listen to your podcasts. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dancetalkwithjoannecarey.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Joanne on Instagram @westfieldschoolofdance Tune in.

In this episode, I sit down with myself—solo again—checking in from Tallinn, Estonia. I share thoughts on growing up, parenting, and why competition might be one of the best teachers. I start by reflecting on a birthday message from friends and how Little League Baseball shaped the way I think about determination, toughness and the need to prove something—even at age 6.Then I get into heavier stuff—the recent Iran-Israel conflict and what it says about leadership, media narratives, and military strategy. I walk through some of today's headlines, talk about Trump's approach to foreign policy, and share thoughts on the kind of strength that doesn't always show up in headlines, but it matters.

Stuart Tipples: The Ghost Product Owner vs. The Storytelling Master Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Storytelling Master Stuart describes an exceptional Product Owner who worked with an API team on what could have been a dry, unsexy product. This PO excelled by maintaining clear availability through established office hours, showing up consistently for the team, and avoiding micromanagement. The standout quality was their ability to tell compelling stories that created clarity and got the team onboard with the vision. Through storytelling, this PO helped the team communicate the value of their work, transforming a potentially mundane product into something meaningful and engaging for both the team and stakeholders. The Bad Product Owner: The Ghost with the Most Stuart encountered a problematic Product Owner working with a customer-portal team dealing with edge cases, legacy systems, and messy code. This PO earned the nickname "The Ghost with the Most" because they were never available when needed. They would miss sprint planning sessions, delay or skip backlog refinement entirely, and leave team members to fill the gap while juggling their own responsibilities. Stuart learned to address this directly by outlining how the PO's behavior affected the team and delivery, asking "Can I help you?" The PO initially reacted defensively but eventually admitted they weren't happy in the role. Self-reflection Question: How effectively does your Product Owner use storytelling to create clarity and help the team understand the value of their work? [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Stuart Tipples: Defining Scrum Master Success and the 4L's Retrospective Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Stuart redefines success for Scrum Masters, moving beyond organized JIRA boards and well-structured stories to focus on team dynamics and behavior. True success means seeing healthy conflict that leads to insight, having transparent priorities, and watching teams call out their own behavior through self-checking mechanisms. Stuart emphasizes that happy teams aren't just content - they're energized by embracing obstacles and challenges. He stresses the importance of reinforcing great behaviors when you see them, creating an environment where teams can thrive independently. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: 4L's The 4L's retrospective format is Stuart's favorite because it strikes the perfect balance between warmth and honest feedback. The format covers four areas: Liked (appreciation), Learned (growth opportunities), Lacked (identifying gaps), and Longed for (dreaming big). This structure prevents people from freezing up while uncovering golden moments and building psychological safety. As a bonus, the format allows facilitators to bring fun elements and themes, making retrospectives more engaging while maintaining their effectiveness in driving team improvement. Self-reflection Question: Does your team demonstrate healthy conflict that leads to insight, or are disagreements avoided and issues left unresolved? [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Stuart Tipples: Beyond Hierarchy—Influencing Agile Adoption Through Setting the Example and Community Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Stuart explores the challenging aspect of leading change as a Scrum Master without hierarchical authority. He shares his experience as a chapter lead where he built a community of practice and recruited new Scrum Masters to become change agents. The breakthrough came when he convinced director-level leaders to run their own quarterly retrospectives, creating a powerful example for teams throughout the organization. Stuart emphasizes that change spreads organically - when you change your team, it becomes contagious. His approach involved showing up daily as a change agent, understanding the difference between sponsors and change agents, and initially facilitating leadership retrospectives to demonstrate proper technique. Self-reflection Question: How can you leverage community building and lead by example to create lasting organizational change without relying on formal authority?

Stuart Tipples: Silent Teams, Explosive Outcomes—Learning to Normalize Disagreement Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Stuart tells the story of a team he was brought in to coach that appeared functional on the surface but was struggling beneath. Despite being behind on critical work, the team maintained a facade of happiness while abandoning retrospectives and falling into hero culture patterns. The team had developed "toxic positivity" where members stayed silent about real issues, creating an environment without psychological safety. When problems finally surfaced, the team exploded into unpleasant disagreements. Stuart's key learning: teams usually stay silent until it's too late, making it crucial to foster psychological safety by normalizing disagreement and creating space for honest dialogue. Self-reflection Question: Is your team comfortable with healthy disagreement, or are you maintaining a facade of toxic positivity that prevents real issues from being addressed? Featured Book of the Week: Trust Based Leadership by Mike Ettore Trust Based Leadership by Mike Ettore stands out because it's devoid of corporate fluff and delivers a clear message from a former marine turned executive. Stuart recommends it because it focuses on the fundamental truth that if you don't build trust, you're just managing compliance. The book emphasizes leading with consistency, clarity, and courage, and encourages leaders not to wait for permission to make positive changes. It's a practical guide that moves beyond typical corporate leadership advice to address real-world leadership challenges. [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Stuart Tipples: From Zombie Scrum to Agile Thinking—Learning from a Failed Transformation Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Stuart shares a powerful story about joining a team that appeared to be thriving with Scrum ceremonies in place, only to discover they were performing "zombie scrum" - going through the motions without embracing agile thinking. The team functioned as a feature factory, never questioning requirements or truly collaborating. Stuart learned that agile isn't about what you do, but how you and the team think. He emphasizes that frameworks are just guardrails; the real focus must be on coaching people in agile values and principles. His key insight: know the rules before you break them, and remember that no amount of ceremony can rescue a team that lacks the agile mindset. Self-reflection Question: Are your team's agile ceremonies creating real value and fostering collaboration, or are you simply going through the motions of "performative theatre"?

Joel Bancroft-Connors: The No-Scroll Bar Rule—Empowering PO's Through Constraints Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Collaborative Innovator Joel describes an exceptional Product Owner scenario at a large insurance organization where complementary skills created magic. Working with two different people - a business expert who understood insurance but lacked development knowledge, and a designer with user experience expertise - Joel suggested the designer take on the Product Owner role while collaborating closely with the business person.  This collaboration between complementary skills produced outstanding results. The great Product Owner understood that their role wasn't to control every detail but to unleash developer creativity by providing problems and context rather than prescriptive solutions. Joel's approach of "give the developers a problem and a canvas" allowed the team to innovate while staying focused on customer needs. This Product Owner fostered innovation rather than preventing it, demonstrating how effective collaboration can transform product development. The Bad Product Owner: The Business Analyst That Couldn't Let Go Joel identifies a problematic anti-pattern: the Business Analyst who transitions to Product Owner but can't abandon their documentation-heavy approach. While Business Analysts can make excellent Product Owners with proper support, those who insist on documenting everything create communication bottlenecks and slow down delivery. This creates a "telephone game" effect between the BA/PO and developers. Joel encountered one such individual who would declare "the developers can't do that" without giving them the opportunity to explore solutions. Following his "no-scroll bar rule" for documentation, Joel emphasizes that Product Owners should provide just enough information to enable developer creativity, not overwhelming detail that stifles innovation. When the problematic BA was replaced with someone who understood customers and trusted developers, the team's innovation flourished. In this segment, we refer to the book Liftoff, by Larsen and Nies. Self-reflection Question: Are you enabling developer innovation by providing problems and context, or are you stifling creativity with excessive documentation and control?

Eliot returns from overseas travel and brings back the jackassery of the week segment with him. He and Eric discuss the President's reliance on totally fraudulent evidence while ambushing the President of South Africa with a video alleging genocide against whites in his country, the President's bizarre commencement address at the "Army Acadmey," the disembowling of the national security council staff, and the continued sniping in the immediate office of the Secretary of Defense. Eliot also reports on the "strategic ghosts" haunting the chanceries of Europe and his visits to Edinburgh, London, Tallinn, Stockholm and Warsaw. They discuss the UK Strategic Defense Review and Britain's post-imperial overstretch, Eliot's attendance at the Lennert Meri Conference in Estonia and that country's memories of absorption into the Soviet Union and its fears of Russian revanchism, Russian gray zone activity in the Baltic Sea, Russian troop movements in the north and the threat to the Nordics, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's unpublished threatening letter to the Swedes in 2021, Sweden's "armed neutrality" during the Cold War, the nuclear question that hangs over Poland as well as Polish resentments at past betrayals, Russia's evolution into a perpetual warfare state, and European efforts to both rearm, assist Ukraine and influence Trump (and their chances of success on the latter front).
