Dave turned 40 this week, one day before they hit record, and he wants it understood that he has been looking forward to this. Thirty was a bummer. Forty is different. He expects his forties to be a decade of proficiency instead of a decade of learning how to do everything for the first time: better father, better disciplinarian, better coach, better husband, better at the farm. A decade of potency, he called it, which Adam immediately took in the least charitable direction available and turned into a bit about donating blood and testosterone at the same time. Before that, though, there was a real moment. Adam asked how his spiritual life was and Dave told the truth. He has been in a down recently, the kind where things you have always known to be sinful start to look not that bad, and the only thing that held the line was habit. Intellectual habit, built over years, doing exactly what habit is supposed to do when feeling has gone quiet. Then the piglets. Adam has been building a pig pen since last fall, thinking it through all winter, and Dave finally called to say his sow's litter was ready. Adam ran hot wire that morning, got everything set, and had the sense to put just one pig in first to see what would happen. The pig touched the hot wire, did not get shocked, backed up four steps, ran, and cleared the boards. Twenty seconds. It landed close enough that Adam caught it by a back leg. Welcome to the swine herd community.Sponsor: Amen app (from the Augustine Institute) Free, no paywall, no subscription.

Download the Amen app.Sponsor: Select International Tours When Adam and Dave went looking for help leading their first pilgrimage, everyone they asked pointed to the same name: Select International Tours. Having used them, the guys can vouch for it. Wherever in the world you want to go, whether leading a pilgrimage or joining one, head to selectinternationaltours.com and see what they have ready for you.The pour is Pabst Blue Ribbon, which won a blue ribbon at some point a long time ago and has been telling everyone about it ever since. Adam will defend it. Not as a great beer, but as a beer that belongs in the category of things you can hand a man who walks into your house without apologizing. Oklahoma has been over 100 degrees for something like seventy straight days, all of July and all of August, and on a day like that PBR is exactly right.Then the main topic. Wendell Berry died August 31 at home in Port Royal, Kentucky, at 92. Kentucky farmer, novelist, poet, essayist, five generations on the same ground his family had worked since the early 1800s. He took degrees from the University of Kentucky, went off to the city to be a writer, got everything a young writer is supposed to want, and decided quickly that it was not what he wanted. So he went home. He farmed with horses long after he could afford a tractor. His writing cabin, 16 by 20 feet on stilts over the Kentucky River, had no electric light. He never owned a television or a computer and never sent an email in his life. He answered his mail by hand, including letters from strangers, at length, signing every one "your friend, Wendell Berry."Dave once told Adam that Berry is his favorite person to read with whom he disagrees, and that line has stuck. Dave is not a pacifist. There are foundational places where he and Berry part ways. But reading Berry sharpened his own thinking precisely because the case on the other side was so well made, so obviously pondered and re-pondered over decades. Not rookie opinions. Not virgin thoughts. Which raises a question worth sitting with: who do you read that you disagree with? Most men cannot answer it, and that is the problem.Berry's own account of what the land taught him: patience, because the crop keeps its own schedule and will not wait for you. Consequence, because there is no control-Z on a hillside. He plowed and dug a pond on sloping Kentucky ground and then watched it wash out, taking with it topsoil that had taken a thousand years to accumulate a millimeter at a time. Scale, because the land you keep is known intimately by you and nobody else, which spots bloom first, which die first, and holding that in your head is closer to a virtue than a skill. The body as a means of knowing, because the health of the mind proves itself in physical work. And fidelity to one place over time. Asked by NPR in 1998 what he would tell young people, he said stop some place and stay there, and learn the history of it, the names of the plants and the animals and your neighbors.Adam brought in Josef Pieper to name what that is. Working hard is not the opposite of sloth. The opposite of sloth is the glad acceptance of your own life. A man can be busy at every hour of the day and still be a slothful man, because the busyness is a way of refusing the life he actually has.Dave read The World-Ending Fire on Adam's recommendation and could not get past a passage early on about the difference between a path and a road. A path is submissive to the terrain. It yields to creation, goes through the trees, puts you in nature instead of over it. A path is almost a virtue, a habit of travel, a memory you relive, an inheritance you walk because others walked it first. A road does violence to it. You level the ground and go through instead of being part of it.Which sets up the essay. In 1987 Berry published "Why I Am Not Going to Buy a Computer," and it went on to become the most reprinted thing he ever wrote, which is its own joke. He gave nine standards a new tool ought to meet: cheaper than what it replaces, no bigger in scale, demonstrably better at the work, less energy, ideally powered by something like the body, repairable by a person of ordinary intelligence with ordinary tools, purchasable and repairable near home, sold by a small shop that will take it back, and the hard one, number nine: it should not replace or disrupt anything good that already exists, including family and community relationships. We have almost entirely stopped asking that one. We look at output and never at cost, and technology almost always charges its cost in person-to-person contact.His three reasons were dependence, household, and self-deception. Dependence on strip-mined Kentucky coal to run the thing. Household, because the model being discarded was his wife, Tanya, his editor, his critic, his closest reader and fellow worker, and going up to date as a writer would have meant sacrificing an association he treasured and depended on. That reason is what critics went after hardest, feminism being what it was in 1987, and he answered them in print. Self-deception last, and best: he simply did not believe anyone writes better with a computer than with a pencil. Show him work demonstrably better than Dante's, demonstrably attributable to the machine, and he would speak of computers in a more respectful tone of voice, though he still would not buy one.The guys are fair to it and to themselves. Dante is not a fair standard, since nobody in the 300 years before the computer wrote as well as Dante either. But the point underneath it holds. Berry wrote in pencil because when you cross out a word and write another above it, the path you traveled is still visible in front of you, the way a footpath is. And there is something sacramental about it. The pencil hitting the paper is the incarnation of a thought. The labor is not an obstacle to the writing. The labor is the writing, and the satisfaction of finally getting a sentence to say what you actually meant is only available to the man who did the wrestling.Which is where AI comes in, one week after the guys spent a whole episode on it. You do not appreciate a well-kept lawn until you have kept one. You do not appreciate a tomato until you have grown one. You do not appreciate writing until you have done it. Hand the wrestling to a word-guessing machine and the sentence still arrives, but it is sterile, generic, recognizable on sight to anyone who has ever fought for a line. AI is contraceptive language. There is no fecundity in it. The guys expect a backlash, the same pullback that is already happening with social media among the young, once enough people notice what got traded away. Berry's whole vocation was to turn our minds back toward the ground. Which, as Dave pointed out, is where the first man got both his name and his job: adam from adamah, formed out of the earth and made for the earth, a husband to the soil before there was ever any sin to explain it. That is not nostalgia. That is the job. Go read him. You will not agree with everything. Neither do they. Protect the labor. Provide something you actually made. Establish a place and stay in it. May the mad farmer rest with the eternal farmer. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDWhether a man actually gets wiser as he gets older, and why a sinful life makes him dumber insteadDave turning 40 and why he was looking forward to it in a way he never looked forward to 30The forties as a decade of proficiency and self-mastery instead of learning everything for the first timeA spiritual down, and relying on intellectual habit when things you know to be sinful start looking not that badAdam's two piglets from Dave's sow, and a pig pen contemplated since last fallA piglet clearing the boards twenty seconds after being let in, and getting caught by a back legBeer of the week: Pabst Blue Ribbon, and the case for beer that
A judge in Plymouth, Massachusetts spent Thursday afternoon reading twelve adults the definition of a word.Not the evidence. Not the eighty-odd witnesses. A definition. Reasonable doubt. Because a note came out of that jury room saying one person in there will not take it.Disagreeing with eleven people is allowed. That's the job. Refusing the standard itself is something else, and it's about to blow up five weeks of trial. Six days of deliberation. Thirty-six and a half hours. Split eleven to one. Judge Sullivan has already spent the dynamite charge, and under Massachusetts law he can't use it again without the jury's permission. Kevin Reddington stood up in open court and asked him to throw the holdout off the panel. Sullivan said no. They're back Friday morning. This episode: what actually happened in that courtroom Thursday, why courts almost never remove a holdout juror and why you should be glad they don't, and what a mistrial would actually mean for this case.Plus the number nobody in the discourse wants to look at. For three weeks the argument was that a jury of nine women and three men would split along sex. That prediction needed nine to three. It got eleven to one, and there is no way to reach eleven from a pool of nine women without bringing men along. And there is one thing I'm not telling you in this episode, about the identity of the holdout, and the reason why is the most important part of the whole hour.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcastTikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedeviltruecrime
https://teachhoops.com/ Title: Are You Coaching Bad Habits Into Your Youth Players Without Realizing It? Subtitle: Three things to stop teaching at the youth level, plus the one practice habit that quietly eats half your gym time. Episode Summary Coach and Bill flip last episode's list on its head. Instead of the best things you can do with young players, they dig into the worst: the shortcuts that look like coaching, feel productive in the moment, and quietly stall development for years. They start with zone defense, and they do not sugarcoat it. Yes, there are strategic reasons to sit in a zone against a team that cannot shoot. And yes, there is a time and a place to pull it out of the quiver. But when zone becomes the whole defensive identity of a fourth grade team, it is usually about the coach, not the kids. Man to man teaches footwork, communication, closeouts, help responsibility, and accountability. Zone as a crutch teaches kids to stand and watch. From there they hit play overload. Blue 64, 38. Six offensive sets. A youth team burning practice minutes memorizing calls they will forget by Saturday. Coach makes the case for teaching reads instead of plays: if the defense does X, here is your counter. Kids pick reads up faster, they transfer to any offense, and they build actual basketball IQ instead of recall. Then the two coaches split, and both answers are worth writing down. Bill's is early specialization by position. The tallest fourth grader becomes the center, the best handler becomes the point guard, and nobody checks back in three years to see if that still fits. He tells the story of a teammate who was the center in fifth grade, stopped growing, and never played basketball again. Play kids everywhere while the growth curve is still a mystery. Coach's is standing in lines. This one comes with receipts. He wore tracking tech in his own practices after being challenged on it, fully confident his gym was constantly moving. The data said otherwise: roughly thirty minutes of standing still in a ninety minute practice. Some of that is water breaks and scrimmage rotations, but not all of it. His fix was simple. Fewer players per basket. Two shooters instead of four means more reps, more chasing, more conditioning built in, and no downtime for kids to start poking each other. The through line for the whole episode is planning. Every one of these mistakes is what happens when a coach walks into the gym without a plan and reaches for whatever is easiest. Three Things To Avoid Living in a zone. Use it strategically, in and out, against the right opponent. Do not build your youth defense on it. Teach man to man first because it carries kids through the rest of their careers. Too many plays. One set offense you actually run well, plus a baseline inbound, maybe a sideline, maybe a press break. That is enough. Teach reads and counters instead of a play call sheet. Early specialization by position. Height at ten years old predicts almost nothing. Move kids around. Let the tall kid handle it. Let the guard post up. You are developing players, not filling a lineup card. Bonus: lines are the death of practice. Track it honestly. Break into small groups. Fewer bodies per basket. If kids are standing, they are not developing, and they are usually finding trouble.

Hour 3 (9.03) Star Wars takes up 7% of George Lucas's new billion-dollar museum. Mark Sanchez agrees to plead guilty in the Indianapolis stabbing case, and Dolly Parton was laid to rest in a private family service. 8:05 — Mark Sanchez and Marion County prosecutors filed a joint motion to cancel his September 8 jury trial and set a guilty plea and sentencing hearing instead. The charges stem from an October 2025 fight outside a downtown Indianapolis hotel over a parking spot, where Sanchez was stabbed in the chest and a 69-year-old truck driver was seriously injured. Sanchez faced a felony battery count plus misdemeanors including public intoxication. Fox let him go; Drew Brees took the booth. Also, Rob and Michele Reiner's son Jake married Maria Gilfillan in a small private ceremony in August, eight months after his parents were killed in their Brentwood home. 8:20 — The $111 billion Paramount Skydance–Warner Bros. Discovery merger is frozen. Twelve state attorneys general led by California's Rob Bonta sued in July, the Writers Guild filed its own suit the next day, and a federal judge set trial for March 2, 2027. Paramount agreed to hold the deal until as late as June 1, 2027, and starts paying WBD shareholders $7 million a day at the end of September. Plus the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, the billion-dollar Exposition Park building George Lucas and Mellody Hobson put next to the Coliseum. Thirty-plus galleries across 100,000 square feet, Norman Rockwell and Jack Kirby and Frida Kahlo, and Star Wars occupying about seven percent of it. Opens to the public September 22 — $25 for adults, free for kids under 12 and students. 8:35 — Dolly Parton died August 25 at 80 after a brief battle with cancer and was laid to rest three days later in a private service at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville, buried beside Carl Dean, her husband of nearly 60 years. Jane Fonda, who recruited her for 9 to 5 and gave her her first movie role, got visibly emotional talking about her days after the funeral — including the lunch break where Parton drummed out "9 to 5" on her fingernails for Fonda and Lily Tomlin. 8:50 — The Season 35 cast dropped on GMA: Julia Stiles, Jenna Dewan, Tatyana Ali, Tyler Cameron, Giada De Laurentiis, Harry Shum Jr., Olympic figure skater Amber Glenn, and Jimmy Kimmel's Guillermo Rodriguez.

It's Thursday, September 3rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Iranian Muslim leaders killed 33 Christian ministers recently Iranian authorities have killed at least 33 Christian ministers in the past few months. The pastors were serving with Iran Alive Ministries, a Texas-based organization that supports house churches in the country. Authorities also arrested 131 Christians associated with the organization. Some of them are now on death row. Despite this persecution, the ministry reports 5,849 Muslims have converted to Christianity this year. Iran Alive founder Hormoz Shariat told the Baptist Press, “Christian prisoners consider prison as their place of ministry and they are leading many people to Christ.” The Apostle Paul was also a witness in prison. Acts 16:25 says, “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.” Iran-American War reaches sixth month The war between Iran and the United States continued into its six month last week. The United States carried out strikes on Iran's southern coast on Tuesday. Iran fired on U.S. bases in the region. It's the biggest exchange between the two countries since July, according to Reuters. Despite ongoing conflict, oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have rebounded to about two-thirds of pre-war levels. Christian convert from Iran received asylum in Canada A Christian convert from Iran recently received asylum in Canada after being deported from the U.S. Twenty-seven-year old Artemis Ghasemzadeh entered America in 2024. If returned to Iran, she would face extreme persecution. International Christian Concern noted, “Refugees fleeing religious persecution have traditionally been granted asylum on American soil, but they faced more stringent border and refugee laws under the Trump administration. Ghasemzadeh pursued asylum in Canada after lawyers advised her that the United States was unlikely to allow her to return.” Litigation over the Abortion Kill Pill delated until after midterms Litigation in the U.S. over the abortion kill pill is being delayed until after the midterm elections in November. The case began last December. Florida and Texas challenged the original approval of the abortion drug mifepristone in 2000 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, a federal judge paused the lawsuit on Sunday until at least December 1. If successful, the lawsuit would make the abortion drug unavailable in all states. Florida removing all Flock cameras Florida is removing all Flock cameras from state roads. Flock cameras automatically read license plates and capture vehicle data for law enforcement, neighborhoods, and businesses. The Florida Department of Transportation recently revoked permits for license plate readers, including Flock cameras along highways. The cameras are the subject of privacy concerns across the nation, especially alleged misuse of the cameras by police officers. Listen to comments from Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. DESANTIS: “I'm all about having law enforcement have tools to be able to hold criminals accountable. I think that's important that we do that. No one's been stronger on law enforcement than me. But I don't want to have this become a surveillance state.” American church attendance up Churches are seeing more people attend worship services in recent years. A new survey from Lifeway Research found 54 percent of U.S. Protestant pastors report a growing church. Thirty-percent report a plateaued church. And 16 percent report a declining church. Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, noted, “Given the trajectory of many churches before COVID, we expected to see more pastors reporting declines in attendance. However, we continue to see a majority of pastors saying their attendance is higher than two years ago.” Archeological proof that Christ's tomb in garden And finally, recent archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem support biblical accounts. Francesca Stasolla is an archaeology professor at the Sapienza University of Rome. Last year, she led an excavation focused on the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. The site is believed to be the location of Jesus' crucifixion and the empty tomb. The area was used as a stone quarry before Roman occupation. Later it was used for agriculture and tombs. The archeological effort discovered ancient seeds and pollen there. Stasolla told Fox News Digital that the pollen and seeds date to “between the use of the quarry and the Roman age, when the area had a funerary use”, meaning it was used for burying the dead. This aligns with the New Testament. John 19:41 says, “Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Tom Cochrane is founder of Eleviam, a brand accelerator running more than forty CPG brands across Amazon, Walmart, and TikTok Shop. Before building the agency, he put nearly five million dollars of his own capital into Amazon inventory to prove the model himself.This episode tackles a problem every CPG brand now faces: platforms are getting more expensive, more competitive, and harder to attribute, even as consumer attention keeps fragmenting.Tom and Eitan dig into the halo effect between TikTok Shop and Amazon, why a third of TikTok-driven purchases convert somewhere else entirely, and how Amazon's new AI shopping layer is changing what actually belongs in a listing.Listeners walk away with a clearer view of how to sequence platform investment as a brand matures, and why profitability discipline matters more than chasing growth at any cost.Website: https://expanio.com/Podcast website: https://expanio.com/commerce-untold-podcast/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CommerceUntoldGuest: Tom Cochrane, Founder, EleviamTom Cochrane's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasgcochrane/Eleviam: https://eleviam.io/Key Takeaways: • Ninety percent of US consumers still validate a purchase on Amazon even when they discovered the product somewhere else. • Thirty-seven percent of TikTok Shop transactions convert off of TikTok, most often on Amazon. • Creator partnerships should be judged on proven GMV track record, not follower count. • Amazon's AI shopping layer now reads full PDP and A+ content, so listings need to answer real buyer objections instead of just stuffing keywords. • Brands should launch omnichannel from day one, but stay narrow with a hero SKU before expanding the catalog. • Agencies scale by building repeatable systems and pod structures before they scale revenue.Chapters:[00:19] Introduction to Tom Cochrane and background[02:35] Running Amazon and TikTok Shop together: the halo effect[05:36] Rising platform costs and the shift toward creator partnerships[08:08] Competition, agentic shopping, and Amazon's AI-driven listings (Cosmos, Rufus)[11:53] Matching platform strategy to a brand's lifecycle stage[19:41] CPG challenges today: LTV, margins, and building a moat[26:11] Inside Eleviam: ICP, delivery, and where e-commerce is headed

It's Wednesday, September 2nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Another state in India passed anti-conversion law India's state of Maharashtra became the 13th in the country to enact an “anti-conversion” law last week. It's the country's second-most populous state. This has prompted thousands of churches in the area to have worshippers sign a form. The form simply says the person is attending freely and not under coercion. India's “anti-conversion” laws are often used to target Christians. Hindu nationalists have attacked churches in Maharashtra 11 times in the last six months. India is ranked 12th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most dangerous places to be a Christian. In John 15:18-19, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet, because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Vinay Kwatra, the Indian Ambassador to America, asking that he urge his government not to pass these anti-conversion laws which target Christians.

Australia's new assisted suicide law ABC News Australia reports Australia's Northern Territory passed a bill legalizing assisted suicide last week. The territory was the first in the world to legalize voluntary euthanasia in the 1990s. Australia's federal government overturned the law within a couple years. But in 2022, the government reversed its decision, allowing the territory to legalize assisted suicide once again. Now, all states and territories in Australia allow for this form of killing. Over 7,200 people have died this way in the country since 2019. Trump's Venezuelan oil deal gives access to 65 billion barrels The Trump administration announced a major oil deal with Venezuela on Friday. The deal would give the United States access to 17 oil fields in Venezuela with proven reserves of 65 billion barrels of oil. That's about 20 percent of the country's reserves. By comparison, the U.S. has 46 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. President Donald Trump hopes the deal will lower gas prices for Americans. However, analysts suggest that the deal will not relieve prices in the short-term. Homeland Security investigates voter fraud in 9 states CNN reports that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is investigating voter fraud in nine states ahead of the midterm elections in November. These states include California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. The Trump administration is pushing for states to phase out certain electronic voting systems and move to paper ballots. The administration has threatened to withhold significant homeland security funds from states that do not adopt such election changes. ICE arrested 51,000 immigration arrests in July U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement made 51,000 immigration arrests in July. That's up from 43,000 arrests in June. Both months set records for the agency. Nearly 20,000 of July's arrests were in Texas and Florida. Both states have been very cooperative with the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts. Gallup poll: Americans supportive of marriage if couple has kids A new Gallup poll found that more Americans are supportive of marriage when children are involved. Thirty-nine percent of U.S. adults say it is very important for a couple to be legally married if they have a child together. That's up from 29 percent in 2020. However, it's down from 49 percent in 2006. Gallup noted, “Weekly church attendees show one of the largest increases since 2020 in the belief that couples, who have a child together, should be married, up 24 points, from 41% to 65%.” Bible societies distributed 148 million Scriptures in 2025 And finally, the United Bible Societies distributed over 148 million printed Scriptures in 2025. The top countries for Bible distribution last year were Brazil, China, India, Nigeria, and the Philippines. Rev. Dirk Gevers, Secretary General of the United Bibles Societies, said, “While printed Scriptures continue to reach hundreds of millions of people each year, digital engagement is growing, opening new opportunities to connect with the Bible through mobile devices and online platforms.” This year is the organization's 80th anniversary. Since 1946, the Bible society has distributed 25 billion Scriptures, including 1.1 billion complete Bibles. Malachi 1:11 says, “From the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; in every place incense shall be offered to My name, and a pure offering; for My name shall be great among the nations.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, September 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

There's a difference between choosing adoption… and choosing to embrace everything that comes with it.When Susan Strong's first round of IVF failed, she didn't know it would become the beginning of a completely different life. Thirty-four years later, she's the adoptive mom of two daughters, has lifelong relationships with four birth parents, and has built an open adoption story she never could have planned for.In this honest and deeply moving conversation, Susan shares what she's learned about choosing curiosity over fear, trusting your instincts, and building open adoption relationships without a roadmap. From meeting her first birth mother and being asked to adopt her baby after just 15 minutes, to navigating a second adoption with a teenage birth mother, to watching her daughters grow into their own relationships with their birth families, Susan offers a perspective shaped by decades of experience, unexpected loss, and a whole lot of saying yes.In this episode, we talk about:How Susan's failed IVF cycle became the unexpected beginning of her adoption journeyThe adoptee's story that changed Susan's mind about closed adoption and led her to choose opennessWhat Susan learned about choosing curiosity over fear when the path ahead feels uncertainHow Susan met her first birth mother, Carmen, and why Carmen asked her to adopt her baby just 15 minutes after meetingThe three things Susan believes make open adoption work: choice, trust, and commitmentWhy open adoption doesn't come with a roadmap—and the lifelong work required to maintain those relationshipsWhat Susan learned from her daughters about attachment, identity, grief, and the experience of carrying two family storiesThe advice Susan would give hopeful adoptive parents about trusting their instincts, being honest about what they can handle, and taking the leap togetherAbout Susan:Susan Strong is the author of One Yes At A Time: How Open Adoption Transformed Our Family, a book about her family's 34-year journey through open adoption. After an unsuccessful IVF experience, Susan and her husband, Bob, chose adoption and went on to adopt two daughters, Olivia and Caitlin.What began with two independent adoption journeys grew into lifelong relationships with four birth parents and an extended network of birth family. Susan writes about adoption on Substack and continues to share what she's learned about openness, curiosity, loss, identity, and the relationships that make adoption what it is.Connect with Susan:One Yes At A Time: https://www.susanstrongauthor.com/product-page/the-open-adoption-guidebook-1Website: https://www.susanstrongauthor.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanstrongauthorRG Adoption ConsultingDo you have an adoption "Kismet Moment" you'd like to share?

Thirty years after one of hip-hop’s biggest mysteries began, the story may finally be getting its closing chapter. The Rickey Smiley Morning Show covered the conviction of Duane “Keefe D” Davis in the murder of Tupac Shakur, making him the first person convicted in connection with the rapper’s 1996 killing. Prosecutors argued that Davis orchestrated the retaliatory attack, even though he was not accused of pulling the trigger himself, and he now faces a potential life sentence. Gary had the tea and reacted to reports that Michael Strahan quietly welcomed a baby girl with longtime partner Kayla Quick, expanding his blended family to five children. Elsewhere, Jermaine Dupri dropped his lawsuit against Sony Music after both sides reportedly resolved a royalty dispute involving So So Def artists including Xscape, Da Brat, Kris Kross, and Jagged Edge, ending a legal battle that had initially sought millions in unpaid royalties. The show also sent prayers to music legend Lionel Richie, who was reportedly hospitalized in St. Louis after a concert appearance. Sources indicated doctors were evaluating him for possible dehydration after fans noticed he appeared fatigued toward the end of the performance, though reports said he was stable and recovering. Beyond the headlines, the crew sparked lively conversation about online catfishing after stories surfaced about fraudsters posing as professional athletes and medical students to scam victims out of money. The discussion hit close to home as Rickey Smiley shared experiences involving fake social media accounts impersonating him and targeting fans. From long-awaited justice in the Tupac case to celebrity baby news, industry business moves, and cautionary tales about online deception, the show delivered a mix of entertainment, culture, and conversation that kept listeners talking.

Send us Fan MailThirty four years married is one thing. Thirty four years married after surviving Scientology's Sea Org is something else entirely. We sit down as husband and wife to answer the questions people keep sending us about how we met at Scientology International Headquarters, what we thought of each other at first, and why a relationship inside a high control group feels nothing like a normal romance.We talk through the real mechanics behind a Sea Org marriage: the “Key to Life” era at the base, why you have almost no private space to date, and how a proposal can happen in a hot tub because there's literally nowhere else to be together. Then we get into what it takes to actually marry while on staff: written approvals, ethics sign offs, and e-meter security checks designed to catch anyone trying to use a wedding as an “escape route.” We also share what a Scientology wedding at Celebrity Center looks like, why there's basically no honeymoon, and the very specific moments we remember most clearly from the day.From there, we lay out what married life was really like while working under David Miscavige: long stretches of barely seeing each other, different meal schedules, months or years of separation due to assignments, and leadership pressure that tries to turn spouses against each other. We also connect our story to the bigger picture: why people who leave still get targeted, how “fair game” tactics continue under new names, and why we support the Aftermath Foundation and fundraise through the SP Shop to help former members rebuild their lives.If you've ever wondered how a cult controls relationships, money, time, and even trust, this conversation will hit home.

The SEC finally wrote the rules down. Citi is about to hold your Bitcoin. Thirty-nine state banking associations are building their own blockchain. And a $3 billion short squeeze shoved Bitcoin through $71K — right before Joel disappears on his honeymoon until November. On August 18, the SEC published a 402-page proposing release called Regulation Crypto Assets: two registration exemptions plus a conditional safe harbor that can finally retire the "investment contract" label once an issuer permanently stops the managerial efforts it promised. For eight years this industry was regulated by lawsuit. For once, nobody had to get sued to find out what the rules were. Meanwhile Bitcoin ripped more than 20% in a week — and is still down on the year. Joel says zoom out: $81K keeps rejecting price, that's a double top, and the four-year cycle still points at a bottom somewhere between late October and early December. Which makes this rally a bull trap until proven otherwise. Also in this one: Open USD and its 140-partner consortium taking aim at Circle and Tether, the BankChain Alliance putting 3,283 banks on a chain of their own, Arthur Hayes coming out of retirement to sell food for AI agents, 512GB Macs that run frontier models on your desk, Anthropic's $65 billion run rate ahead of its IPO, and the guy calling the entire AI industry a con.This is the last one until mid-November.

Follicles not responding? Cycle cancelled? Told it is your low AMH? Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next IVF decision → fabfertile.com You have done the injections. You have gone in for monitoring. They may have increased the medication already. And then you hear it again. The follicles are not responding. There are one or two growing. Maybe the cycle gets cancelled. Maybe you make it all the way to retrieval and get one egg. When you ask why, the answer comes back the same way every time. It is your low AMH. It is your age. You are a poor responder. Those are real factors, and I am not going to tell you the AMH does not matter. But if you are about to put your body, your finances, and yourself through another cycle, there is a bigger question worth asking. Is low AMH the whole explanation? Because these are two separate statements: I have diminished ovarian reserve, and low AMH explains everything that happened during that cycle. They are not the same statement. In this episode I walk through what AMH does and does not tell you, what I would want to understand about the 90 days before stimulation started, and what to ask your clinic before you go again. The full thyroid panel, including antibodies rather than TSH alone. Blood sugar and how it moves across a day. hs-CRP and unnecessary inflammation. Vitamin D you may be taking and may not be absorbing. Gut health, food sensitivity, the vaginal microbiome, nutrient status, and an autoimmune issue that gets mentioned as an afterthought when it belongs at the front of the file.

Episode 126 On June 24, 1973, a fire tore through the Up Stairs Lounge, a second-floor bar in New Orleans's French Quarter that had become a place of community and acceptance for the city's gay population. Thirty-two people died in what remains the deadliest fire in New Orleans history. In Part One of Fire in the French Quarter — The Up Stairs Lounge, we go back to New Orleans in 1973 to explore the people and the place before following the events of that Sunday evening as a fire in the lounge's narrow entrance stairway turns a popular gathering place into a death trap. But once the flames were extinguished, the hardest—and darkest—parts of this story were only beginning.

Allen covers Clearway’s 800 MW wind farm in Maine, the state’s largest ever, along with Suzlon’s $1.2 billion project in India and Masdar’s growing battery pipeline in the UK. Then Mingyang lobbies the UK’s new Prime Minister to reverse its ban from British waters. The Uptime Wind Energy Podcast is brought to you by Weather Guard Lightning Tech, creators of the StrikeTape Ultra LPS retrofit. Subscribe to Uptime’s Substack newsletter. And check out Rosemary’s “Engineering with Rosie” Youtube channel. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Up in Maine this week… they picked a spot for a wind farm. Eight hundred megawatts. The biggest the state has ever seen. Hold that thought. Halfway around the world… India broke ground on something even bigger. And in between… a Chinese company knocked on Britain’s door. Again. Start in Aroostook County, Maine. The woods up there grow timber… and wind. The Maine Public Utilities Commission chose Clearway Energy to build eight hundred megawatts of turbines on commercial timberland in the rural north. Avangrid will string the power line to connect those turbines to the New England grid. Commission Chair Phil Bartlett says the project will save Maine ratepayers at least three hundred and eighty-seven million dollars. Two-point-four billion in economic output. Thousands of construction jobs. Six hundred megawatts stay in Maine. The rest goes to Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont. Five states… one wind farm… one forest. Now fly east across the Atlantic. In Rochdale, England… Abu Dhabi’s Masdar just flipped the switch on its second battery storage plant in Britain. Thirty-five megawatts. Seventy megawatt-hours. Enough to power thirty-five thousand homes a day. And it responds to grid swings in milliseconds. This is part of Masdar’s one-billion-pound pipeline of battery projects across the UK. Three gigawatt-hours planned. One of the largest storage buildouts in the country. Wind needs a partner. Batteries are volunteering. Now south… to India. Suzlon just broke ground on thirteen hundred and twenty-five megawatts of wind in Ananthapuramu, Andhra Pradesh. The investment… about one-point-two billion dollars. Sixteen hundred new jobs. Suzlon already has a blade factory in the region. Capacity… twelve hundred and sixty megawatts a year. And the company is training twelve thousand young people, including three thousand women, in green energy skills. India’s wind sector just crossed fifty-eight gigawatts. It was twenty-one gigawatts in twenty fourteen. And staying in India… Saudi Arabia’s Alfanar Group just put one hundred million dollars into its Indian turbine subsidiary Senvion. Thirty-four million released this month. The rest in weeks. Senvion builds one-point-five gigawatts of turbines a year. Saudi money. Indian manufacturing. Global ambition. Now… one more item. And this one has an edge. Ming Yang… the Chinese turbine maker banned from British waters on national security grounds… wants back in. The company had plans for a one-point-five-billion-pound factory in Inverness, Scotland. Fifteen hundred direct jobs. Eight thousand in the supply chain. Labour ministers shut it down in March. The Ministry of Defence worried about spying. European rivals complained about Chinese state subsidies. Now Ming Yang is lobbying the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, to reverse the ban. The company says it can deliver “growth in every postcode.” That phrase… is Burnham’s own. A government spokesman says there are no plans to review the decision. So what does this week tell us? Supply chains are going local. Saudi capital into Indian turbine factories. Maine insisting on new transmission before new generation. Britain locking the door on Chinese hardware while Abu Dhabi builds its battery network. The message is clear. Countries want wind power. But they want to own the pieces. Watch for this. Permitting… not technology… is the bottleneck now. Maine’s project was authorized in twenty twenty-one. It is twenty twenty-six and they are still years from turning a blade. And storage is no longer a side conversation. Masdar’s billion-pound UK commitment says batteries are becoming infrastructure… not experiments. For professionals in this industry… the work ahead is not just building turbines. It is building trust with governments who are choosing energy security over speed. And that is the state of the wind industry for the 31st of August 2026. Join us for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast tomorrow.

Description:Jodi Picoult is back, and she brought her thirtieth novel with her.If you have been in a book club at any point in the last thirty years, you know the name. Forty million copies in print. Thirty four languages. And, as of this year, the fourth most banned author in America, which Jen considers a five star review.Jodi and Jen get into all of it: what thirty years of publishing actually teaches you (start with the underwear), why she refuses to coast when she could easily phone it in, what she believes AI will never do to a reader, and the career she never asked for as an advocate against book banning. Then they turn to Hollow Bones, out September 15, a novel that began with an anonymous postcard and a letter from a jail cell and carried Jodi deep into postpartum psychosis, the dismissal of women by medicine, and the long shadow of 9/11. She also brings back a character you have wondered about since My Sister's Keeper.One heads up before you press play: this conversation includes discussion of postpartum psychosis, suicide, the death of a child, and school shootings. Please take good care of yourself. Support resources are linked below.Thought-provoking Quotes:If I'm not challenged by a book, why should you be?AI will never be human. Novels work because an author is reaching deep into the heart and soul of a reader and finding a chord to pluck that resonates. AI can imitate that. It can never really do it.It's fine for a parent to decide what his or her child should be reading. I advocate that. It is not fine for that parent to decide what everyone else's child should be reading.When we remove books from schools, we are not protecting children. We are taking away resources that help them deal with an increasingly complex world. And that is the opposite of protecting kids.Women are failed at every turn of their lives by the medical industry.The more you lie, the easier it gets to lie. And we are living in a time right now when lies are being peddled as truths.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Hollow Bones by Jodi Picoult (Ballantine, September 15)Pre-order signed copies plus an exclusive overlay from Still North BooksPre-order from Barnes & Noble for the sweepstakes and a letterNineteen Minutes, My Sister's Keeper, and Mad Honey (with Jennifer Finney Boylan) by Jodi PicoultThe Book Thief by Markus Zusak, adapted for the stage by Jodi PicoultPostSecretPEN America on book bansPostpartum Support InternationalNational Maternal Mental Health Hotline: call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: call or text 988Guest's Links:Website - https://jodipicoult.com/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jodipicoultTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@jodipicoultFacebook -
Mary chats with Debbie Wuthnow of iVoterGuide, a ministry of American Family Association, about the midterms, and the crossroads at which we Americans find ourselves. Thanks to iVoterGuide, we can have access to tremendous amounts of research on all the midterm elections – scorecards, polling places, dates and much more – because an educated electorate benefits our nation. Most people don’t realize that primary elections decide the vast majority of races; if people don't vote on the ground level, say locally for school boards or in state and national primaries, they can't truly complain about having lousy candidates. We are leaving our votes outsourced to our neighbor if we don’t turn out. Yet primary voting numbers are notoriously low. So here we are, November 3 fast approaching. Thirty-nine state governorships are up for grabs, and flipping the House and Senate are also possibilities. Add Ai into the mix, and Democratic Socialists, and it’s easy to see that the face of our nation is changing fast, and not for the best if you are concerned about voting Christian values. WE should be determining who best represents our values, not our neighbor who doesn't often have a biblical worldview. What are some of the issues? What about Ai, foreign and domestic?

Ramón Mercader expected to easily kill Leon Trotsky, silently and instantly. He had rehearsed the blow for months, practiced the angle, tailored a pocket into his raincoat to conceal the shortened ice axe. On August 20, 1940, he stood behind Trotsky -- who was the principle leader of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russian but exiled by Stalin after losing a power struggle -- in the study of his fortified villa in Coyoacán, Mexico, raised the weapon, and shut his eyes as the blade fell. What followed was not silence but a scream so raw that it froze the room. Trotsky did not collapse. He rose from his chair, seized the assassin's wrist, bit down on his hand, and forced the weapon loose. Blood streaming down his face, he stumbled into the dining room and gave his final order: "He must not be killed. He must be made to talk." He died twenty-six hours later. Thirty years after that, on his own deathbed, Mercader told his wife: "Trotsky is waiting for me on the other side. And he is still screaming." Today's guests are H. Keith Melton and Nigel West, authors of The Assassination of Leon Trotsky: Espionage, Scandal, and the Crime of the Century, the product of fifty years of investigation that took the authors to Moscow, into declassified Soviet intelligence files, and into the homes of the operatives' families. We discuss how Stalin's campaign against Trotsky was not a single plot but a global war of extermination that destroyed his entire family before it destroyed him, how a GPU mole named Sylvia Callen served as the personal secretary to the head of the American Trotskyist movement for nine years without detection, and how the first assassination attempt sprayed over three hundred rounds into Trotsky's bedroom and somehow failed to kill anyone. We look at how the assassin's convent-educated mother directed the backup plot that succeeded, why Ramón Mercader maintained his false identity inside a Mexican prison for a decade despite relentless interrogation, and how new medical evidence suggests Trotsky might have survived the attack if his doctors had operated differently. The authors argue that Trotsky's assassination was not a historical anomaly but a template for state-directed political murder that continues to echo from the Litvinenko poisoning to the Skripal attack today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like to learn how to accelerate your agency growth ? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training What if your biggest growth bottleneck isn't your team—but how you're leading them? Laura Lee Jones built Lion Share Marketing into a 45-person healthcare agency with an extraordinary retention record by focusing on people before processes. Rather than forcing employees into predefined roles, she learned to build roles around their natural strengths, creating an environment where team members stay for decades, leaders stay in their zone of genius, and the business continues to grow profitably. In this episode, Laura shares how shifting from task management to strength-based leadership transformed her culture, why founder role clarity drives long-term growth, and why profit—not revenue—is the metric that ultimately matters. What You'll Learn Why treating employees the way you want to be treated creates long-term retention. How managing people around their strengths outperforms assigning work based on organizational charts. The leadership shift from directing every task to building complementary teams. Why founders should protect the work only they can do—and delegate everything else. How staying focused on profit instead of revenue leads to healthier decisions. The connection between founder role clarity, team stability, and sustainable agency growth. Key Takeaways Great retention isn't created through perks—it's built through consistent leadership and genuine care for your team. Stop trying to make people fit every role. Build roles around the strengths your people naturally bring. Founders become bottlenecks when they refuse to let go of work outside their highest-value contribution. Revenue growth means very little if profit, team health, and founder fulfillment are declining. Long-term agency success comes from designing a business where the right people are doing the right work—and the founder stays focused on the responsibilities only they can own. Have you been losing good people and telling yourself it is the market, the economy, or bad luck? Maybe you've been watching revenue numbers so closely that you forgot to ask whether the profit and the life underneath them were actually working. Today's featured guest runs a 45-person data-driven healthcare marketing agency she starting building just four days after being fired from an agency job. She'll get into why she intentionally built her agency thinking about employee happiness and fulfillment, how she evolved from drill sergeant to leader who plays to people's strengths, and what she has learned about staying profitable and mentally steady across three decades of business cycles. Laura Lee Jones is the CEO of Lion Share Marketing, a Kansas City-based agency specializing in data-driven marketing for the healthcare industry. They build large patient and prospect databases, layers proprietary software on top of them, and uses front-end analytics and back-end ROI measurement to drive healthcare marketing decisions. Laura Lee started the agency in 1995 after being let go from a firm she had run for ten years. She has grown Lion Share to 45 people with a retention rate that is genuinely unusual: some team members have been with her for close to 30 years, and several who could not join immediately due to non-compete agreements came over as soon as they could. In this episode, we'll discuss: The standard that makes people want to stay 30 years Pairing people with the work they want to do Why revenue is not the number that matters the most Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions:Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world. Check out e2msolutions.com/smartagency and get 10% off for the first three months of service. Why People Stay for 30 Years Laura Lee does not have a complicated theory about retention. She built her agency around a standard she had for herself: treat people the way you want to be treated, and then actually do it rather than just saying it. When she wanted flexibility because she was going to be a mother, she built it into the culture for everyone. When she wanted to leave early on summer Fridays, she made two o'clock the standard. When she needed childcare, she added a daycare to the building so anyone on the team who needed it had access. The outcome of that consistency over 30 years is a team that has watched each other's children grow from birth to college graduation. That kind of tenure is not built through perks or compensation alone, but through a founder who did not treat the team differently than she wanted to be treated herself, and who kept that standard even when the business hit years that were harder than expected. People can tell when a policy is real and when it is marketing. Learning to Lead Instead of Just Direct As Laura Lee herself admits, her early leadership style looked like a drill sergeant with a checklist, trying to fit square people into round holes. The evolution away from that happened as she paid more attention to what people were actually good at rather than what she needed done. Her agency's standard now is pairing people with the work their natural strengths fit, not assigning tasks based on organizational convenience and hoping it works out. The specific example she gives is herself: she does not take detailed notes and never will. So she pairs herself with someone who does it well, gets the net summary she needs, and stays at the altitude where she is most useful. That same principle applies across the team. The grumpy programmer who is brilliant at the work does not need to be socially engineered into a different personality. They need to be left in the seat where the grumpiness does not matter and the brilliance does. That is a structural decision that keeps the right people doing the right work and reduces the friction that makes good people leave. Revenue Is Not the Number That Matters Laura Lee has grown her agency every year but one in thirty years and she believes this is because she stays in the relationship and business development role that only she can fill, and she does not let herself get pulled into operations. The moment she drifts from that job, the numbers move. That clarity of role is the structural discipline behind the growth consistency. For most founders, a revenue dip triggers alarm regardless of what is happening to margin. The more honest measure is whether the business is generating real profit, whether the team has what it needs, and whether the founder is actually enjoying the work. Laura Lee frames it the same way: you are the one who picks what your life looks like, whether you are an owner or not, and you can always pick again. Thirty years in, she is still picking.

Thirty years after the horrific murder of 6-year-old "Peter Boy" Kema, the state of Hawaiʻi has agreed to a $3.25 million settlement with his surviving siblings, Chauntelle, Allan, and Lina Acol. In this episode of The Other Side of Paradise, host Lynn Kawano details the newly reached agreement, which ends an eight-year civil lawsuit and requires a formal apology from the state. Through emotional interviews, Peter Boy’s siblings share their lifelong battle with trauma, survivor's guilt, and the "big exhale" of finally reaching a resolution. The episode also exposes critical, sworn testimony of systemic failures within Child Protective Services, including ignored and delayed abuse reports in early 1997 that ultimately cost the young boy his life.

This week's episode of Win The Hour, Win The Day Podcast interviews, Criz Tumapon. She got thirty minutes notice. Thirty minutes before a Zoom room with about thirty people in it, I asked her to host a session she had never run in her life. Our Marketing Manager, Maura, had to go. Her sister went in for a basic surgery, there was an infection and a complication, and inside a couple of days it was life or death. She needed to be at that hospital day and night. We didn't know if she'd be gone three days, three weeks or three months. So we met as a team and split her Super Toolkits up. Criz got the Leadership Program, which is the biggest piece of it. Criz isn't the speaker on our team. She's the one in the background making everything run, and she was nervous. I told her I could take the session myself, and then I told her I thought that was the wrong call, because everybody in that room already saw her as the person beside Maura, and stepping in front of her would have shrunk her. She opened Maura's toolkit. What to do when you come into the Zoom. Ask the VAs how they're doing. Five minutes in breakout rooms. Housekeeping. The topic was already drafted, because drafting it in advance sits in Maura's job bio. I watched the replay and we all teased her, she looked like a game show host. She was that good because she wasn't spending anything on remembering what came next. All of it went into being the host. Maura was gone three weeks. Her sister turned it around and she's fine. Not one client noticed a thing. And Criz came out of it with the line I keep repeating. Your systems get tested during an emergency, not during convenience.

Most leaders treat fear as the thing blocking them. Amy Elizabeth Fox, CEO of Mobius Executive Leadership and Nicholas Janni, both co-authors of Leading in Chaos, argue the opposite: you block fear, and that blocking is quietly costing you presence, judgment, and your team's best thinking.Along with host Ashish Kothari, you'll discover why emotional intelligence in leadership starts in the body, the practices that ground you when everything is unpredictable, and why the times are urgent enough that we must slow down. For leaders and executives who are done white-knuckling through chaos and ready to lead from somewhere deeper.What You Will Learn:1. Fear isn't the block. You are. "Fear doesn't block me. The problem is I block fear." Let the wave move through you before the hard conversation. What's on the other side is presence, not paralysis.2. Get in your body before you decide. Soften the out-breath. Feel your feet, feel your chair. Thirty seconds changes your brainwave state, and you can do it mid-meeting. You can't steady a room you haven't steadied yourself in.3. Stop performing certainty. The picture is too big for one mind. Sit with your team in "we don't know," listen until other views actually land, and watch the periphery for early signals instead of rushing to fix.4. Slow down because the times are urgent. When you're moving fast in ten directions, you're busy but not effective. Block out time that's unplugged and unscheduled. One well-aimed move beats a dozen rushed ones.5. Don't shrink, don't inflate. Humility isn't making yourself small. It's owning what you're actually good at while letting go of the need to control how things turn out. Try saying: "I don't know, but together we can figure it out."Episode Chapters: 02:58 Healing inherited trauma is part of leadership.07:27 - Sense-making must go beyond intellect.12:19 - Practical ways to become more grounded.18:08 - Opening the heart strengthens teams.21:23 - Emotions are meant to be felt, not suppressed.31:51 - Spaciousness is a leadership discipline.39:01 - Humility means occupying the right space.43:29 - Intuition and “field intelligence” emerge through presence.49:17 - Collective healing needs both justice and inner development.Resources:Connect with the GuestLinkedIn: Amy Elizabeth FoxLinkedIn: Nicholas JanniRecommended Reading: Leading in ChaosConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelTEDx: How to make flourishing your competitive edgeIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.
This week the glasses held Christophe Mignon ADN, the stories went global, and our guest casually mentioned designing buildings in 18 countries like the rest of us mention brunch plans. Pat Bosch, Design Director and Principal of Perkins&Will's Miami studio, joined us for a conversation that starts in Havana and somehow ends up in Riyadh, Rio, and Accra before landing back home in Miami.Pat grew up the only child of two architects, spending her childhood in her mother's office and on construction sites with her father, then carried that inheritance through Puerto Rico, Columbia, ETH Zurich, and the New York studios of Richard Meier and Steven Holl. In 1996, in her early 30s, she bet everything on Miami and co-founded Perkins&Will's studio here with three people. Thirty years later it's one of the firm's most celebrated design hubs.We talk about designing the world's largest university for women in Saudi Arabia, building Africa's first LEED-certified hospital in Ghana with little more than smart passive design, and structuring an entire L'Oreal research center in Rio around bossa nova. We also get into her lifelong love affair with concrete, a material most people treat as a means to an end and Pat treats like poetry, from the cantilevered concrete of Miami Dade College to facades that somehow make the heaviest material on earth look weightless. And she explains the philosophy that runs through all of it: leave things better than you found them.Pour something with a little sparkle and press play. Pat builds in concrete, but this episode is pure Champagne.Connect with usWant to dive deeper into Miami's commercial real estate scene?

Paul Lunter didn't start out trying to build a wellness empire — he was in construction, watched someone in pain step in and out of the shower for relief, and built a machine instead. Thirty-seven years later, that machine (HydroMassage) has grown into WellnessSpace Brands: five product lines, 400 million sessions delivered, and installations in 50+ countries at Planet Fitness, Life Time, Gold's Gym, and beyond. Lunter walks Eric Malzone through the company's medical-market origins, the R&D behind machines like the PolarWave Dry Plunge and the company's newest RedZone sauna which uses no wood, and why he thinks recovery is a permanent industry shift rather than another fitness fad.

What if the most valuable asset in your portfolio isn't in your portfolio at all?In this episode of The Money Mondays, Dan Fleyshman sits down with brain coach and author Jim Kwik for a conversation about memory, focus and why human intelligence is becoming more valuable — not less — in a world running on AI.Jim was called "the boy with a broken brain" after a traumatic brain injury at age five. Thirty-five years later he has run trainings for Google, Nike, SpaceX, Facebook and the US Air Force, along with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. He explains why the faster you can learn the faster you can earn, how memory quietly drives sales, referrals and trust, and walks through his SUAVE method for remembering names — including the story of a real estate professional who lost a $50 million deal because he called his client the wrong name twice.The conversation then goes deep on artificial intelligence. Jim breaks down cognitive offloading, the "AI slop" filling the internet, and the MIT study that found students who leaned on AI to write essays remembered the least of what they produced. He shares his BUILD framework — brainstorm, understand, imagine, leverage, decide — for treating AI as a coach rather than a crutch, and makes the case for HI before AI.Dan and Jim also cover attentional priming and why the first ten minutes after you wake up shape the rest of your day, the brain foods worth adding to your diet, cognitive reserve and protecting your brain span as you age, the three C's Jim requires before he invests in anything, how to actually get paid to speak, and why giving back is built into every healthy ecosystem.This episode is about more than productivity. It is about protecting the one asset that every other asset depends on.Get Jim's new book, his 5 minute morning routine to win everyday at LimitlessDaily.com
On the morning of March 9, 1996, Amberly Mendoza was found murdered in her bedroom in Yuma, Arizona. She was just 10 years old. Her family's home had been filled with people following a birthday celebration, yet someone was able to reach Amberly, sexually assault her, take her life, and leave without being identified. Thirty years later, investigators have DNA believed to belong to her killer. So why has no one been held accountable? The FBI is now offering a reward of up to $30,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Anyone with information can contact the Yuma Police Department at 928-783-4421 or remain anonymous by calling 78-CRIME at 928-782-7463. Amberly's name also lives on through Amberly's Place, a family advocacy center created in her memory. The organization provides crisis intervention, medical care, legal advocacy, and support to victims of abuse and violence throughout Yuma County.
