What separates a consistently great salesperson from a consistently mediocre one - when they work for the same company, sell the same product, and operate in the same market? Bestselling author David Brock returns to the show to answer exactly that. After writing the Sales Manager Survival Guide, David spent years trying to crack what was missing from the conversation around sales performance. The answer became his latest book, Good Enough, Good Enough - and it has nothing to do with your CRM, your tech stack, or your training programs. In this episode, David and St John unpack the mindsets and behaviours that actually drive sales excellence: caring, purpose, curiosity, accountability and discipline. David explains why a 15% win rate means you're losing 85% of the time, why organisations that hit their numbers are often the ones most blind to their own mediocrity, and why the soft stuff is the hardest stuff for managers to coach. You'll also hear how to recruit and interview for curiosity, the redirection question that kills excuses in coaching conversations, the story of the $20 billion company that was aiming too low, and why you're not too busy to learn - you're too busy because you're not learning.

Ted Turner built CNN from scratch and changed how America consumes media — but what happened to him in his final years is something almost nobody talks about. Drug companies like Biogen spent $18 billion trying to crack the condition that took Turner down, and the FDA rejected their best shot twice. The answer might be simpler and cheaper than anyone expected.

THE TRUTH IS NOW CONTROVERSIAL — And That Should Terrify You 26-78 We live in a time where outrage is entertainment, misinformation spreads faster than facts, and absurdity is rewarded with clicks, followers and fame. But tell the truth? That's where the real danger begins. In this episode of The Karel Show, Karel explores why honesty has become the most controversial thing in modern life. Why are people punished for uncomfortable truths while lies thrive online? Why has truth become something people fear instead of value? From social media algorithms to modern politics, outrage culture to entertainment, we've built a world where being loud matters more than being right. And when someone dares to say what's real, they risk censorship, backlash and isolation. Plus, Karel reacts to the controversy surrounding The Boys and the reaction after commenting on the fate of the show's bi character — and why representation in film and television still comes with consequences.

Chuck Todd unpacks a wave of devastating new polling that shows Americans have lost confidence in Trump across nearly every metric, with his approval cratering among independents and only his hardcore base still standing by him. He notes Trump is underwater on virtually every issue except taxes, immigration, and the border — that his trustworthiness is lower than any past president, that even 22% of his own 2024 voters don't believe he's kept his promises, and that his approval has collapsed with younger voters even as it holds up with the elderly. In a particularly striking finding, only 1 in 10 Americans approve of Trump naming things after himself, and even the "own the libs" voters can't get behind that particular vanity. Todd warns this is a political disaster in the making for Republicans: the enthusiasm gap is now massive in the Democrats' favor, and the Iran war is polling more unpopular than the worst polling ever recorded for Iraq or Vietnam. Yet despite all this, neither party's brand has actually improved with swing voters — both parties still carry almost identical unfavorability ratings, voters of both parties don't even want their leaders to work across the aisle anymore, and the political incentives are now firmly aligned with confrontation rather than compromise — creating an enormous opportunity for independent candidates that neither major party seems prepared to address. On Iran, he says there is no political room for Trump to escalate militarily — his only real escalation option would be ground troops, which would risk total political collapse — and predicts the eventual deal will look like whatever framework the Iranians put forward. He flags a striking recent Tucker Carlson interview in which Carlson was forced to face hard facts, observing that Tucker increasingly looks like a combination of Pat Buchanan and Roger Ailes who is genuinely trying to build a political movement of his own. He returns to the case for expanding the House of Representatives as the fix for the Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act ruling, warns that Republicans could pay a serious political price if Southern voters perceive the GOP as actively trying to disenfranchise Black voters and closes with the news that Janet Mills has dropped out of the Maine Senate race — leaving Democrats now trying to coalesce around Graham Platner, in what Chuck says feels increasingly like a mirror image of the 2016 presidential campaign. Then, Yale political scientist Ian Shapiro — author of the new book After the Fall — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the missed opportunities of the post-Cold War era and what it would take to actually fix what's broken in the global political economy. Shapiro argues America fundamentally squandered its chance to integrate Russia into the West after the Soviet collapse — there should have been a Marshall Plan for Russia along the lines of what was done for Germany and Japan after World War II, and both Yeltsin and Putin (in his early years) actively lobbied to join the Western order. Clinton was hesitant to help Russia economically, the 1994 midterm results pushed him away from foreign policy ambition entirely, and the eventual pivot toward NATO expansion in Eastern Europe — rather than transforming NATO into something genuinely inclusive — froze Russia out and is exactly when Putin's worldview hardened into the revanchism we're dealing with today. Shapiro extends this analysis to 2008, calling the financial crisis another massive missed opportunity: Obama had to bail out the banks, but his failure to insist on a parallel bailout for Main Street allowed the elites to rescue themselves while imposing austerity on everyone else, which directly fueled the right-wing populism now reshaping politics across the West. The conversation pivots to what comes next. Shapiro is clear that the good policies of the 2030s won't be a rehash of the New Deal — they need to address modern realities. He argues governments need to help workers be flexible rather than redistributing wealth through politically toxic taxation, advocating instead for portable health insurance and portable child care that follows the worker. Shapiro makes a forceful case for immigration as the only realistic answer to America's demographic challenges, noting that Spain and Poland are economically outperforming much of Europe specifically because they've embraced immigration to support aging populations. He warns that we're living in a world disturbingly similar to the 1930s — if ordinary people don't benefit from economic growth, they will not continue supporting the existing order — and notes that right-wing populists don't actually have answers; they just attack the elites. Shapiro argues Trump is inadvertently benefiting China enormously, but cautions that authoritarian governments are fundamentally bad at managing complex economies, so it's still unlikely China's model wins the 21st century. Shapiro closes by warning that the anti-Trump coalition has become too big to govern, but that if Zohran Mamdani succeeds in New York, it could meaningfully energize progressive politics nationally — proof that the road forward requires real ideas about power, not just opposition to Trumpism. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the Hindenburg disaster and how it was the origin of “breaking news”, and also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

And if we try to force Him into either box, we misunderstand the Gospel entirely.In this episode, we break down the Transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17) and what it reveals about one of the biggest problems in the Church today: Catholics dividing Jesus into political ideologies.One year after the death of Pope Francis and one year into the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV, tensions among American Catholics are still high.

James Carville tells Daily Beast Political Reporter Sarah Ewall-Wice that Trump is in much bigger trouble than even the terrible polls are predicting. He says the Democrats are on track for sweeping midterm victories—pointing to double-digit overperformance in special elections, even in Donald Trump's own backyard, and predicting a potential 55-seat Senate majority. Carville also warns that Trump could trigger chaos if he realizes the election is slipping away by undermining election legitimacy or escalating the Iran conflict. He dismantles Republican strategy, questions Trump's grip on his own party, and argues that fear, defiance, and voter mobilization will define the months ahead. Learn more about your ad choices.
