Podcasts about Thom

Feel like working from home with kids is a constant juggling act, and you're dropping balls left and right?

Thankfully, in this episode we're joined by social media strategist Thom Gibson, founder of Work From Home Dads, and proud father of two young kids. After a decade spent teaching middle school math and robotics, Thom made the leap—leaving the classroom to build new businesses (and memories) from his home office. His story is packed with insights on boosting productivity, improving daily and weekly routines, and mastering the real work-life blend for dads. Stick around to the end for a gut-busting installment of Did I Just Say That Out Loud? and a rock and roll blast from the past from Marc's kid-music-side-project, Stuffed Animal.Topics include:•  Tips and Advice for Work-from-Home Parents•  Combating Isolation as a Remote Working Parent•  Tom's 6-hr Workday Playbook•  Realistic Approaches to Remote Work Productivity•  And more!LINKSWork From Home Dads6-hr Workday Playbook (free)Work From  Home Dads (Instagram)Work From Home Dads (X)Thom Gibson (homepage)Thom Gibson (LinkedIn)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

Bill and Thom dissect minute 12 of FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN.

Een nieuwe aflevering van podcast De Stemming, in de week dat er ook een nieuwe Kamervoorzitter werd gekozen. De stemming waarbij Thom van Campen van de VVD uiteindelijk won, was anoniem. Maar met wat gepuzzel weten Joost en Marleen wel zo'n beetje te herleiden hoe bepaalde partijen gestemd hebben.  De formatie is na het vertrek van informateur Wijers doorgegaan. Er kwamen deze week verschillende experts langs om hun verhaal te doen bij de schrijvende partijen. Marleen hoorde van een bron dat het er binnenskamers een beetje als bij een vrijeschool project aan toe gaat; de sfeer is goed, maar wat het kunstwerk uiteindelijk moet worden is nog niet bekend. Ondertussen is Joost kwijt wie ook alweer de premier van ons land is. Waar zien we hem tegenwoordig nog? Marleens Nerdalert gaat over chipfabrikant Nexperia en de draai die demissionair minister Karremans op dat dossier moest maken.  En in de Eerste Kamer werd deze week de 19e fractie geïnstalleerd... Genoeg te bespreken dus weer voor Joost en Marleen! Aanvulling: De minister waar Marleen een uitspraak van laat horen bij wat haar opviel, is minister Rijkaart.

De duiding over het proces richting de nieuwe voorzitter van de Tweede Kamer hoor je in een nieuwe aflevering van de politieke podcast Afhameren. Wouter de Winther en Pim Sedee bespreken hoe Thom van Campen het uiteindelijk werd, ten koste van Martin Bosma. Waar ging het mis voor de PVV'er? In Afhameren het antwoord. Ook natuurlijk een laatste inkijkje in de formatie, inclusief de excuus-tour van Rob Jetten bij Dilan Yesilgöz na het feeks-appje van ex-informateur Hans Wijers. En: wat wordt de koers van FvD de komende periode onder partijleider Lidewij de Vos?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De sfeer is goed. De formatie is inmiddels echt en officieel begonnen. En dus keert het woord radiostilte terug in het nieuws. Er wordt niet gelekt. Er wordt niet of nauwelijks geroddeld - of in elk geval komt daar weinig tot niets van naar buiten. Hoe frustrerend ook voor journalisten, radiostilte is een teken dat de formatie goed verloopt. De sfeer is goed. Natuurlijk verschijnen de partijleiders van D66 en CDA wel regelmatig voor de verzamelde camera's, microfoons en blocnotes. Maar dan zeggen zij weinig meer dan dat het een goed gesprek was. De sfeer is goed. Men werkt met positieve zin aan positieve teksten over positieve plannen voor een positieve toekomst van een positief Nederland. En de sfeer is goed. Ondertussen verkoos de nieuwe Tweede Kamer een nieuwe voorzitter. Dat leverde ons Thom van Campen op. Een positieve man, overigens, die de sfeer graag goed houdt. Hoe dat met sommige ondervoorzitters zit, houdt Floor, Leendert en Mark nog in spanning. Toch is er nog één plek waar het een beetje schuurt. De sfeer in het demissionaire kabinet schijnt helemaal niet zo goed te zijn...

Dit is de SBS nieuwsflits van woensdag 19 november, met o.a. Amerikaanse Huis van Afgevaardigden stemt in met vrijgeven Epstein-files, hoge boete voor Optus en Thom van Campen nieuwe voorzitter Tweede Kamer.

Thom van Campen (VVD) is gisteren verkozen tot nieuwe voorzitter van de Tweede Kamer. Hij neemt het stokje over van Martin Bosma (PVV), die uiteindelijk op de tweede plek eindigde. Tom van der Lee van GroenLinks-PvdA viel eerder af. "De verslaglegging leek wel een sportwedstrijd", vertelt schrijver en columnist Roos Schlikker. "Het is een belangrijke functie." Jan Slagter, directeur van Omroep MAX keek gisteravond ook, maar vond het juist "bloedsaai". "Het was heel knullig: om de beurt vragen om een pen, één voor één naar de stembus lopen." Slagter vraagt zich af of dit proces in de digitale tijd waarin we nu leven niet wat sneller kan. Socioloog Jan Willem Duyvendak ziet dat we ons pas vanaf de vorige verkiezingen realiseren hoe belangrijk de functie van Kamervoorzitter is geworden. "Met Bosma die aan de PVV gelieerd is, hebben we gezien dat er soms problemen waren, bijvoorbeeld met de slavernijherdenking. Wat voor idee van democratie heb je als je een voorzitter bent die bij een partij hoort waar je officieel geen lid van kan zijn?" Aan tafel zitten Jan Slagter, Roos Schlikker en Spraakmaker Jan Willen Duyvendak

Hoewel niemand weet wie er straks met wie in het Haagse huwelijksbootje stapt, is één ding sinds gisteren wel zeker: met VVD'er Thom van Campen krijgt de Tweede Kamer de jongste voorzitter ooit en wordt er afscheid genomen van voorzitter Martin Bosma. Ondertussen heeft het opstappen van Wijers een discussie opgeleverd over welk nieuws je als medium wel, en niet moet brengen. Hoofdredacteur van Joop.nl Francisco van Jole en politiek duider Peter Kee gingen er in De Nieuws BV over in gesprek.

The conversation invites listeners to remember their true nature — as beings who are both beautifully human and inherently divine.Amy and Sofiah dive deep into how co-creation unfolds moment by moment, and how reconnecting with one's inner wisdom becomes the key to clarity, alignment, and authentic self-expression. Sofiah speaks to the importance of listening inwardly, allowing the divine to guide the next steps, illuminate one's artistry, and support the emergence of one's truest self.This episode serves as a gentle yet potent reminder that each person carries a unique creative essence — and that embracing this inner artist opens a pathway to living with greater presence, purpose, and spiritual connection.THEMESCo-creation as a continuous collaboration with the divineHonoring the duality of being both human and holyAccessing clarity through inner listeningLiving one's artistry as an expression of the soulAllowing divine wisdom to guide creativity and decision-makingRemembering the truth and wisdom that already reside withinSPECIAL OFFERS:

IN CLEAR FOCUS: Thom Mozloom of The M Network discusses why brands like Bud Light and Cracker Barrel face backlash. He argues their marketers don't understand, or even like, their core audience. Thom explains how to navigate controversy with honesty and why values-driven marketing, not just purpose-led, is key to building loyalty. He also shares fresh research on news consumption and why he believes attention spans haven't shrunk but tolerance for bad content has.

De Tweede Kamer debatteert al ruim vier uur met de drie kandidaten die Kamervoorzitter willen worden. Thom van der Lee van GL-PvdA, Thom van Campen van de VVD en Martin Bosma, de huidige Kamervoorzitter, hebben zich kandidaat gesteld. We bespreken met politiek verslaggever, Michiel Jurrjens, de laatste stand van zaken.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De VN-Veiligheidsraad stemt in met het sturen van een internationale troepenmacht naar de Gazastrook, als onderdeel van het zogenoemde Trump-plan. Dertien landen stemmen voor, terwijl Rusland en China zich van stemming onthouden omdat het plan volgens hen niet ver genoeg gaat. De resolutie legitimeert de inzet internationaal en geeft de vredesmacht de taak om Gaza te beveiligen, te demilitariseren en de veiligheid van Palestijnse burgers te waarborgen. De Tweede Kamer kiest vandaag een nieuwe voorzitter, met kandidaten Tom van der Lee (GroenLinks-PvdA), Thom van Kampen (VVD) en zittend voorzitter Martin Bosma (PVV). De stemming verloopt via meerdere rondes; Bosma geldt als favoriet bij het rechterdeel van de Kamer, terwijl voor Van der Lee speelt dat zijn partij al de senaatsvoorzitter levert en Van Kampen als onervaren te boek staat. Politiek verslaggever Leendert Beekman verwacht een spannend politiek spel rond de uiteindelijke benoeming.

In de Tweede Kamer vindt op dit moment een openbaar sollicitatiegesprek plaats - met drie mensen tegelijk.Tom van der Lee van GroenLinks/PvdA én Thom van Campen van de VVD willen voorzitter worden. Martin Bosma van de PVV wil vooral voorzitter blijven. Misschien probeerde u vanmiddag wel bnr.nl te openen en kwam u erachter dat dit niet lukte.... En ook websites van Omroep Brabant, de VVD, Alzheimer Nederland en vele anderen waren onbereikbaar. Dat had alles te maken met online verkeersregelaar Cloudflare. Maar de storing lijkt opgelost te zijn. Een groep advocaten gaat staken. Zij doen dit, omdat ze belemmering voelen in hun werk in de zwaarbeveiligde inrichtingen zoals de EBI. Dat schrijven bijna 50 advocaten in een brief aan de presidenten van rechtbanken en gerechtshoven en de hoofdofficieren van justitie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When a young Thom Knoles found himself among world leaders, philosophers, and celebrities at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's table, he felt wildly out of his depth. A well-meaning barrister's critique led to embarrassment, reflection, and an unforgettable lesson from Maharishi himself.In this intimate and humorous story, Thom shares how a moment of mortification turned into a profound teaching on arrogance, humility, and taking action, and the one simple word that can shift you out of self-doubt instantly.You can also watch the podcast here https://youtu.be/IDKEn6UhCVM.Episode Highlights[00:45] Advice From a Barrister[04:37] Malapropisms[07:11] I'm Not Like Them[11:48] How Can We Get Out of This Arrogance?[13:25] Engage in ActionUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Thom Weisel, a guest whose influence has not only shaped companies, but also culture. A financier and sports leader, Weisel is both Senior Managing Director and a Director of Stifel, a diversified global wealth management and investment banking company. Previously Thom was Chairman and CEO of Thomas Weisel Partners Group, Inc. and Montgomery Securities, one of Silicon Valley's famed "Four Horsemen". Thom helped build the financial infrastructure that fueled Silicon Valley's explosive rise, often referred to as "Wall Street West". He led the financings behind companies that transformed medicine, semiconductors, and the internet itself. In addition, Weisel was responsible for raising the iconic KLEINER PERKINS' first venture fund. Along the way, he also exercised his leadership skills toward something entirely different and arguably just as consequential: rebuilding the governance and funding models behind U.S. skiing and U.S. cycling—helping save those sports and elevate American athletes on the world stage. Growing up, Weisel was a five-time U.S. National Junior Champion in Speed Skating, ranked Third in the 1959 U.S. Olympic Trials for the 500 meter in Speed Skating. He remained athletically active the rest of his life, including ranking Third overall in the 1982 U.S. National Master Alpine Championship, in '85 he launched the Montgomery Cycling Team, four years later he won 2 Gold Medals in 1989 Cycling Kilo & Sprint in the World Master Games in Finland, the following two years he picked up 5 more Gold Medals and a 6th Gold in World Cup Masters Cycling in Kilo in 1991, the same year he was named Masters Athlete of the Year for U.S. Cycling. In 1999, he received the U.S. Ski Association Julius Blegen Award, its highest honor... his athletic achievements continued and in 2018 he was inducted in the U.S. Ski Hall of Fame.... all while pursuing advanced college degrees and innovative business building and exceptional entrepreneurial leadership. Thom Weisel's is a story of ambition and resilience; of building institutions, losing them, and building again. It's about competition, yes…but it is also about patience, stewardship, and meaning.

“ It has to mean something to you in order for it to mean something to anybody else. And that's all we're dealing with really. We're giving people the most authentic version of what we see as hospitality that we can give.  For us it's a very simple equation of giving what we really would like to receive.”We're in great company with Gem Boner and Thom Scherdel, the tastemakers behind Restaries, a collection of contemporary accommodations and event spaces located on the border of Suffolk and Norfolk, where epic woodlands meet serene sea fronts.

Bill and Thom dissect minute 10 of FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN.

Episode Summary In our newest episode, Bioluminescent Symbiosis, we speak with Dr. Margaret McFall-Ngai, an animal physiologist and biochemist about her work with the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) and its partner, the luminous bacterium Vibrio fischeri. McFall-Ngai provides a great synopsis of how this stable beneficial relationship not only creates light, and supports the bobtail maturation, but can also help us understand what could be going on in the light organs of deep-sea animals.     Check out our lovely new website where you can find more detailed notes, images and links to the wider reading.     In this episode… Welcome back to the Deep-Sea Podcast, your punk take on all things deep sea!    The Professor is jetsetting as always, back in Edinburgh after a stint getting all the equipment ready in the Canary Island and is now happily being confused with professional racecar drivers. He will be back in Perth shortly to celebrate the Deep-Sea center paper publishing streak and reconnect with his Capybara spirit animal.    Thom is being called out in New Zealand Parliament, for all the right reasons, and he spent some Deep-Sea conference time in China, avoiding typhoons and pondering science ideas.    We are also celebrating 300,000 podcast downloads of the podcast, and appreciate our fans immensely!    Our guest this month is Dr. Margaret McFall-Ngai, an animal physiologist and biochemist who is a staff researcher at Carnegie Institution for Science's Division of Biosphere Sciences and Engineering, with her lab stationed at the California Institute of Technology in Biology and Biological Engineering. Dr. McFal-Ngai talks us through her work on the stable beneficial relationship between the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) and its partner, the luminous bacterium Vibrio fischeri. Although technically not a deep-sea species, this relationship and its details might help us understand how deep-sea life creates bioluminescence and the possible life cycle impacts for the creatures involved.    In the news, get ready for updates on: Plenty of Science and Art collaboration news including a new collective, social media feeds and an opportunity for scientists to connect with artists.  Toxic Yellow worms, bright pink snailfish, and chewbacca corals.

Thom Rainer explains the difference he's discovered between what growing churches do and what declining churches do. It's simpler than you think. Plus, how can you help the Anxious Generation feel comfortable coming to church? Thom explains what the research reveals.

"Because we're kind of lowering the stakes. We're saying it's okay to admit to yourself that you care about factory farming and you care about animals because we're not going to try and trick you into going vegan or whatever. And so it allows them to engage with the issue, maybe for the first time in a really serious way. I think what we want to do is, just try and make it easier for more people to really engage with their values, and be an invitation to people to say, I know you care about this. I know when you see factory farming on you know, those annoying ads on your Instagram that show you what's going on, that you feel sad and you feel horrible about it. Let us help you do something about that in a way that fits your life and fits your lifestyle." – Thom Norman   Most of us agree that factory farming is one of the greatest sources of suffering on Earth. We hate it. We don't want to support it. And yet — it persists. Today's guest, Thom Norman, is trying to change that. He's the co-founder of FarmKind, an organization that's asking a radical question: What if we stopped making compassion so hard? Instead of telling people what not to eat, FarmKind is inviting everyone to help dismantle factory farming — not by guilt or purity tests, but through collective action. With their Compassion Calculator, just $23 a month has massive impact for animals. It's simple, inclusive, and it's working. In this conversation, Thom and I talk about how factory farming got so bad, why lifestyle change alone isn't enough, and how shifting from shame to solidarity could open the biggest door yet — for animals, for people, and for real change. Tom and his cofounder Aidan Alexander were on the show a year ago shortly after farm kind launched. A lot has happened in a year.

Thom and Jess tackle the growing challenge of polarization inside and outside the church. As cultural extremes grow louder, pastors often find themselves without a safe “middle ground.” How can church leaders stay faithful, gracious, and clear in such an environment? The post The Death of the Middle — How Polarization Is Reshaping Church Leadership appeared first on Church Answers.

In this conversation, Jess and Thom discuss the fleeting nature of digital influence. Algorithms shift, platforms fade, and online visibility is temporary. What happens when your church—or your ministry—disappears from the feed? This episode explores how to build something lasting in a world designed to forget.

Since 2000, one of the most reliable sources of data on congregations in America has been the Faith Communities Today study, often referred to as FACT. It's been conducted every five years, with the most recent survey in 2023 representing tens of thousands of congregations across every major faith tradition. The FACT research gives us a clear picture of what the ‘typical' church looks like over time. And here's one of the most striking trends: in 2000, the median church in America had 137 people in attendance at weekly worship services. By 2023, that number had dropped to just 60. Today, Sam and Thom will talk about what that shift means for pastors, leaders, and the future of congregations.
