Last week UK economic data painted a mixed picture, with inflation and labour market dynamics pulling in opposite directions. Headline inflation unexpectedly rose to 3.6% in June, driven by higher food and wage costs, prompting criticism of Labour's tax policy. However, unemployment climbed to a four-year high of 4.7%, while job hiring fell sharply and wage growth moderated - bolstering expectations for a potential Bank of England (“BoE”) rate cut in August. BoE Governor Andrew Bailey signalled a willingness to ease policy if labour weakness persists, although policymaker Catherine Mann warned inflation remains above target. Meanwhile, Bailey voiced concerns over Donald Trump's tariff plans, citing risks to global economic stability, and stressed the International Monetary Fund's (“IMF”) role in addressing imbalances...Stocks featured:Barrett Redrow, Experian and Intermediate Capital GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

In this expansive episode, Ghost dives deep into Africa's shifting alliances and the global scramble for critical resources. He opens with Trump's Africa Summit, where five West African nations were invited to Washington to negotiate trade deals centered on rare earth minerals, oil, and gas. Ghost methodically dissects NPR and AP coverage, showing how Western media narratives obscure the real incentives driving U.S. outreach, countering China's and Russia's growing footholds across the continent. Using detailed maps and timelines, he explains how military coups in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso have created a new power bloc aligned with Russia, and why Liberia, Gabon, and others were strategically selected for engagement. The conversation moves to the Pentagon's controversial investment in MP Materials, effectively nationalizing America's only rare earth mine to break dependence on Chinese supply chains. Ghost then pivots to Israel's turmoil, exploring how Netanyahu's government is trapped between domestic collapse, far-right coalition partners, and stalled Gaza negotiations. With plenty of sidebars, on rare earth land grabs, CIA-backed coups, and the long game of economic warfare, this episode is equal parts exposé and history lesson, revealing how old empires still pull the strings behind modern headlines.

This episode of the podcast is the last two chapters of Dancing the Tightrope. We have reached the end of the book! You might hear me be a little choked up at the end of this reading. There are so many layers to unpack as to why. First, when I started reading this book, I didn't expect to get much further than Chapter 1. Just reading twenty whole chapters felt like a huge accomplishment. For those of you who encouraged me to read another (and then another), I appreciate you more than you can know. Second, when reading these chapters, I was reliving my experience in some ways. Reaching some of these milestones felt unachievable when I began this journey. Now, they are everyday occurrences. Take away for you? Whatever seems daunting at the moment is just waiting to become an everyday occurrence if you are willing to break it into small enough steps.  The conversation I've been having recently with several colleagues, clients and friends is about visiting the other side of fear. If you haven't been there (and for years, I HAD NOT BEEN THERE), it's impossible to understand how fear can squash us. It seems so rational to honor fear as the answer to the problem of the day. Until you look at it from the other side (get thee behind me, fear!), you cannot see it for what it is: information. Dancing the Tightrope calibrates the fear so that we can RESPOND rather than automatically react from what I call the “robot space” in this book. Just like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, we discover that the “great and powerful Oz” is simply our programming and conditioning, pulling levers like the little man behind the curtain. We've had the answers all along; all we needed was someone to show us the inner Tools we were granted at birth. That's what I set out to show in publishing this book. Reaching this point in the journey of reading the book, you may be wondering “what's next?” I'm publishing Dancing the Tightrope as an Audible book in the next few months – timeline to be determined. The compiled version will include several things this podcast version did not. It will have the Introduction Chapter, which I did not include in this series. It will also include some “author commentary”, as I've come a long way since these words were written. It seems only fair to update the listener. I may also play with adding more quotes in the voice of the speaker where possible.  Dancing the Tightrope will not be the only audiobook I publish. After this one gets out, I will publish both The Delicate Art and The Elegant Pivot in Audible format as well. Yes, the woman who swore I would NEVER do an Audible version is reminded that saying “never” is just the first step! You'll hear more about that in the podcast coming out next week, with Bernie Harberts, author of Two Mules to Triumph and star of Amazon's The Lost Sea Expedition.

Nonprofit leaders are passionate individuals driven by a deep commitment to their cause. However, the ever-present threat of shrinking governmental funding adds a significant layer of stress to an already demanding role. This constant pressure can lead to burnout, impacting both the leader's well-being and the organization's effectiveness. Therefore, developing effective stress management strategies is not a luxury but a necessity for nonprofit leaders navigating this challenging landscape.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team faces a delicate and dangerous balancing act as they prepare to cross-examine the accusers in his federal sex trafficking trial. On one hand, the defense must challenge the credibility of the witnesses to weaken the prosecution's case—scrutinizing timelines, motivations, and inconsistencies without appearing dismissive of traumatic testimony. On the other hand, these are accusers alleging severe abuse, coercion, and exploitation. If the defense appears too aggressive or tone-deaf during questioning—particularly toward witnesses like Cassie Ventura, whose testimony has been emotional, graphic, and widely publicized—they risk alienating the jury and reinforcing the perception of a power imbalance at the heart of the government's case.This high-wire strategy carries the potential to completely backfire. Federal juries are often attuned to the dynamics of abuse, especially in cases involving intimate partners or sexual exploitation. If the cross-examinations are perceived as victim-blaming or overly combative, it could backfire by humanizing the accusers further and drawing sympathy toward them. Moreover, in this trial—already saturated in public scrutiny—the defense has to counteract not just the testimony itself but the overwhelming narrative forming around it. A misstep during cross could solidify the prosecution's framing: that Combs used his wealth and power to manipulate and silence vulnerable individuals. The more combative the tone, the more it risks reinforcing the very abuse the defense is trying to deny.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Inside Diddy's 'toxic strategy' to get out of human trafficking charges | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This episode of the podcast is Chapters 16, 17, and 18 of Dancing the Tightrope, the last of the self-awareness chapters, or as I call them the “C” chapters. In these chapters, we cover courage, congruence and clarity. Over and over again, I come back to these chapters to find what's missing when I find myself stuck.  My favorite quote from the Courage chapter is this one: “The beautiful thing about welcoming pressure as a catalyst is that we no longer allow the end goal to define us. Winning the game is nice, but it's not the point. The point is the opportunity to cultivate our courage, or perhaps a better word is to unleash our courage.” I've even come to call the process of raising the pressure threshold “couraging” because we are building our courage. From Chapter 17 on Congruence, I like this quote: “Like a tangled ball of roots, Rules wind their way into our guidance system, blocking the pathways to our personal truth. The interference makes it very difficult to find our voice. And here's the strangest part of all of this. We are not aware that our Rules are interfering. Because all of these Rules have been with us for so long, they feel like a part of us. As they direct us out of our awareness, our Rules feel as if they ARE us.” This quote sums up Chapter 18 pretty well: “Clarity starts with removing that which does not belong. Whether creating a simple picture for how my day is going to go or a picture for the horse on a trail or a vision for my life, the art of subtraction makes room for what is real and true. I can only afford to remove my protective armor when I've come to own my true inner strength and acknowledged my true nature.”  We are nearing the end of the book! Next week, I'll share the last two chapters of Dancing the Tightrope. Because I tackled this project Frame by Frame, step by step, it's actually been fun. Hard to believe I dreaded it!

This episode includes Dancing the Tightrope Chapters Fourteen Commitment and Fifteen Curiosity. These are the first two of five chapters in the book outlining the building blocks of self-awareness. If you have listened this far, you have certainly heard me talk about the value of these inner “tools.”  I decided to highlight the five building blocks of self-awareness at this stage of my story, because I found myself not always showing up in pressure situations the way I would have liked to. It was clear to me that sometimes I could reach for my tools, and other times I had to reach for my rules. Awareness was the difference, but there was something more. For several weeks, I became more and more aware of my awareness.  It was through this focused attention that I began to see that I “fell off” at different points. Sometimes it was at the level of being committed. Sometimes it was lack of curiosity, or one of the other three layers, which I dive into in the chapters to follow. I revisit the lessons in these five chapters over and again, because they help me fine tune my awareness when I get off track – and the nature of the game is not being perfect all the time. It's about having lots of ways of getting back on track.  Speaking of curiosity, this podcast was created because of my budding curiosity to have a different kind of conversation, and you will hear about one of my early podcast guests Warwick Schiller, who has also been on a journey of self-discovery. Chapter fifteen has a special surprise in it.

Visit us at Network2020.org. As the Indo-Pacific grows more contested, U.S.-Japan relations face new tests and opportunities.

This episode includes Dancing the Tightrope Chapters Twelve The Froth is My Friend and Thirteen The Art of Living. These chapters mark a turning point in my journey of making friends with pressure. To this day, I still find it difficult to explain how different this approach to pressure – and to life – is from the typical approach espoused in high performance coaching elsewhere. Rereading these two chapters several years later, I'm still pleased with how well these two chapters explain the “pressure as a catalyst” approach. However, it's dang near impossible to understand it if you haven't experienced it. The best analogy I've come up with is what I call the “fish story.” Fish don't know they live in water. Water is all they know. On the other hand, dolphins are aware of world of water and of course they are aware of air, since they must surface to breathe. Learning about the unseen forces that impacted the way I dealt with pressure was a little like being a fish who discovered there was a whole different world. In order to break the surface and breathe the air of life., I had to ask myself some tough questions along the way.  These two chapters break down the distinction between pressure and the thing causing the pressure, and also those tough questions, which I believe apply to anyone seeking the signal of a genuine life amidst the noise of the modern world.

Welcome to another insightful episode of Mr. and Mrs. Therapy, where hosts Tim and Ruth Olson explore the intricate dynamics between partners with differing desires for stability and unpredictability. With their combined expertise in marriage, family therapy, and trauma, they delve into how couples can thrive despite having contrasting needs. This episode uses a beloved song from The Greatest Showman to illustrate these dynamics, sparking a discussion about the challenges and opportunities present in relationships where one partner craves adventure and the other seeks stability. Tim and Ruth share personal anecdotes about how they navigate their differing approaches: Ruth's tendency towards spontaneity and Tim's preference for planning. Listeners are guided through understanding the core emotional needs that drive each partner's behavior, such as security, predictability, freedom, and growth. The Olsons offer practical strategies for meeting these needs respectfully while maintaining a balance between stability and adventure. The episode emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and communication, highlighting how couples can transform potential conflicts into opportunities for deeper connection. By exploring topics like compromise, micro-adventures, anchor days, and the celebration of differences, this conversation provides a comprehensive roadmap for couples to appreciate and leverage their unique traits for a more harmonious relationship. Whether you're the adventurer or the planner in your relationship, this episode offers valuable insights into appreciating and complementing each other's strengths, ultimately creating a fulfilling partnership that thrives on diversity.

In today's episode we talk about, the funeral of Pope Francis and Trump's one on one meeting with Zelenskyy. Then we talk about the final offers being made to Ukraine by both Russia and the United States and what will happen if they don't take the deal. After that we discuss what may be the peak of the tariff war between the United States and China. All that and more!

In this episode, I'm reading Chapters 10 and 11 of Dancing the Tightrope. If there is a theme in these two chapters of my journey, I have to call it “stuff happens.” I'm going along, expecting things to go as planned, and instead, something unexpected turns everything on its head. Of course something unexpected happened. That's how the world works. Why would I think it should go any other way? As I say earlier in the book, this journey showed me that many of my assumptions about pressure, balance and how to develop mental fitness were upside or backwards. These chapters not only capture some of the stories that helped me see things differently, they also capture exactly what I was seeing in my mental process and how I changed it for the better.  

In this episode, pediatrician and author Dr. Joel Gator Warsh joins Jeff for an honest, nuanced conversation about vaccines—past, present, and future. From the erosion of public trust during the COVID-19 pandemic to the growing skepticism around childhood vaccination schedules, they explore how science, policy, and parental concern are colliding in today's health landscape. This isn't a debate. It's a rare middle-ground conversation about risk, ethics, and the path forward in public health.This podcast is supported by: PuoriGo to Puori.com/COMMUNE use promo code COMMUNE to save 20% on a one-time purchaseStemregen:Get 20% off your first order at stemregen.co/commune with the code COMMUNEPODQualiaGo to qualialife.com/commune to try Qualia Senolytic backed by a 100 day money back guarantee, and use promo code Commune to get 15% off! Bon Charge Get 15% off when you order at boncharge.com and use promo code COMMUNE BiohackingGo to biohackingconference.com and get a 30% discount on ticket with the discount code COMMUNE30.

Jerome Powell might be the only man in America who can tank the stock market and calm it down—all in the same sentence. In this episode, Chris and Saied break down Powell's most recent cryptic speech (complete with purple tie and Fed-speak flair) and explain why the central bank is stalling like your friend who won't define the relationship. With tariffs looming like a bad sequel and markets reacting like it's a rollercoaster sponsored by Dramamine, the guys dive into the real question: Is this a dip… or just indigestion?➡️ Meanwhile, Nvidia is catching strays, Netflix is crushing it in a recession (because apparently we all just want to binge and cry), and retail sales are peaking like everyone rushed to buy a car before the tariff guillotine drops. Throw in a McLaren parked in general population, some spicy banter about floppy-wrist jump shots, and a side of Zaddy Zandi recession forecasts, and you've got an episode that's equal parts economic insight and comedy gold. Pull up, pour a cold brew, and don't forget your gooseneck.

Two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Nicholas Kristof (opinion columnist, the New York Times) reflects on his career of reporting from the front lines of injustice and human suffering, discussing hope, human resilience, and the urgency of responding to global injustice. An advocate for empathy-driven journalism that holds power accountable and communicates the stories of the most vulnerable, Kristof joins Mark Labberton in this episode to discuss his life's work of reporting from the world's most troubled regions—from Gaza to Congo, from rural Oregon to global centres of power. Known for his unsparing storytelling and deep empathy, Kristof shares the family roots and personal convictions that have shaped his lifelong pursuit of justice and hope. They also explore how despair and progress coexist, the role of faith and empathy in healing, and how local acts of courage can ripple globally. Grounded in gritty realism, but inspired by everyday heroes, Kristof invites us to resist numbness and embrace a hope that fights to make a difference. Stories from Gaza, Congo, Pakistan, and beyond Balancing heartbreak and hope in humanitarian reporting Why empathy must be cultivated and practiced The global impact of Christian activism and its complexities Episode Highlights “Side by side with the worst of humanity, you find the very best.” “We focus so much on all that is going wrong, that we leave people feeling numb and that it's hopeless … but people don't want to get engaged in things that are hopeless.” “Empathy is something that, like a muscle, can be nurtured.” “The worst kinds of evil and the greatest acts of courage are often just one decision apart.” “We are an amazing species—if we just get our act together.” “You can be sex positive and rape negative. I don't think there's an inconsistency there.” About Nicholas Kristof Nicholas Kristof is a two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, and is an opinion columnist for the New York Times, **where he was previously bureau chief in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Tokyo. Born, raised, and still working from his rural Oregon home, Yamhill, he is a graduate of Harvard and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He is the co-author, with his wife Sheryl WuDunn, of five previous books: Tightrope, A Path Appears, Half the Sky, Thunder from the East, and China Wakes. In 2024, he published a memoir, *Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life.* Books by Nicholas Kristof Tightrope A Path Appears Half the Sky Thunder from the East China Wakes Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life Helpful Resources International Justice Mission Dr. Denis Mukwege – Nobel Peace Prize PEPFAR: The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Tim Keller's Final Interview with Kristof (NYT) Show Notes A voice of conscience How a global orientation for journalism developed Kristof reflects on his humble roots in Yamhill, Oregon, as the son of two immigrants “My dad was a Armenian refugee from Eastern Europe. His family had spied on the Nazis during World War II. They got caught. Some were executed by the Nazis, others were executed by the Soviet communists, and my dad was very lucky to make it out alive and was sponsored by a family in the US in 1952.” “I think that one fundamental mistake that bleeding hearts make, whether they're bleeding hearts in journalism or in the non-profit community or in advocacy, is that we focus so much on all that is going wrong that we leave people feeling numb and feeling that it's hopeless, so there's no point in engaging. And there's pretty good evidence from social-psychology experiments that people don't want to get engaged in things that are hopeless. They want to make a difference. And so I think that we need to both acknowledge all the challenges we face but also remind people that there can be a better outcome if they put their shoulder to the wheel.” Extraordinary changes for justice and what's going right David Brooks: “A deeply flawed country that also managed to do good in the world.” ”It just breaks my heart that kids are dying unnecessarily.” On losing PEPFAR foreign aid: “I hope that this damage can be repaired and that bleeding hearts of the left and the right can work together to try to help restore some of these initiatives.” The tragedies that followed from dismantling USAID Kristof's book Chasing Hope “The fact is that I've seen some terrible things, and I think I may have a mild case of PTSD from, you know, seeing too much.” Nicholas Kristof on Gaza: “I don't see Israel and Hamas as morally equivalent, but I absolutely see an Israeli child, a Palestinian child, and an American child as moral equivalents.  And we don't treat them that way.” “What human beings share is that when terrible things happen, some people turn into psychopaths and sociopaths, and other people turn into heroes.” Cowardice and malevolent tendencies Empathy can be nurtured Children dying without anti-retroviral drugs in South Sudan Empathy Project in Canada Mass literature to inspire perspective taking Uncle Tom's Cabin Black Beauty and animal rights/well-being Kristof's run for Oregon governor Eastern Congo and UNICEF “A child is raped every thirty minutes in Eastern Congo.” Dr. Denis Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize laureate treating women brutally injured by militia rape in Bukavu, a city in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Small gestures of compassion as an empathy grower for local communities “One of the lessons I think of Congo is that violence can be and inhumanity can be terribly contagious.” Genocide in Rwanda in 1994 The global sex-trafficking crisis “We don't have the moral authority to tell other countries to do better unless we clean up our own act.” The American sex-trafficking crisis: systemic failures such as foster care pipelines into trafficking “There are no statistics, but I think it's plausible that a girl in foster care is more likely to emerge to be trafficked than she is to graduate from a four-year college.” American sex-trafficking practices by PornHub and X-Videos: “Their business model is monetizing kids.” “You can be sex positive and rape negative. I don't think there's an inconsistency there, and I, I think we've just blurred that too often.” Christianity's disappointing response to injustice Nicholas Kristof's engagement with the activism and theology of the Christian church William Wilberforce's anti-slavery movement in the 1780s President Bush's establishment of PEPFAR in 2003: “This incredible program to reduce the burden of AIDS that has saved 26 million lives so far. It's the most important program of any country in my adult lifetime in terms of saving lives.” “Evangelicals are very good in terms of tithing and donating money to good causes, but they've often opposed government programs  that would create opportunity and address these problems.” “Liberals are personally stingy, but much more supportive of government programs that that make a difference.” Criticizing the dismantling of global aid programs like USAID: “How can you read the Gospels and think this is good?” “I think being part of a religious community has led people to do good works together.” Christian advocacy for freedom of religion Kristof on scripture and belief: “We read the Bible and develop our religious views, and I think so often just reflects our priors rather than what the text says.” A closing example of hope: The Afghan war “We are an amazing species if we just get our act together.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In this solo episode of Heart Powered Conversations, Kat takes us deep into the true meaning of living a connected life—not just receiving intuitive guidance, but being fully present with all that arises. We often pray for visions, downloads, and deeper intuition, yet when the opportunity to truly connect presents itself—through stillness, discomfort, or deep inner work—we instinctively resist. We run. We distract. We avoid. But what if these very moments of resistance are the portals to the depth and connection we crave? This episode explores: ✨ Why we resist the very stillness we pray for ✨ How discomfort is not an obstacle, but an initiation into deeper connection ✨ The ultimate ego death—releasing the belief that we must do in order to be worthy ✨ How to recognize when efforting and striving are pulling you out of alignment ✨ Walking the "tightrope" between action and pure presence—and how to tell when you've stepped off ✨ The false identities we cling to, how they shape our reality, and how to let them go ✨ The power of witnessing—how revealing your true self creates permission for others ✨ Why connection isn't just about receiving guidance—it's about embodying it and living it fully This episode is an invitation—to stop running from discomfort, to stop striving for validation, and to return to your natural state of being. If you've been craving connection but feeling resistance, this is your moment to pause, breathe, and listen.   Ways to Support the Podcast: ✨ If this episode resonated, please rate & review on your favorite podcast platform!

Google has one of the most ambitious climate targets in the tech world, but what happens if it falls short of its goals? How does the company balance innovation with environmental responsibility? And can AI really help reduce emissions? This week on Cleaning Up, Bryony Worthington sits down with Kate Brandt, Google's Chief Sustainability Officer, to unpack these critical questions. Brandt offers an insider's view of how one of the world's most influential companies is tackling the climate crisis, from tackling its own emissions to the impact of misinformation on its platform. Brandt has a fascinating background, having spent time in both the Pentagon, and advising President Obama on energy security and sustainability issues. In her current role, she oversees the team working to reduce Google's environmental impact. Google has set itself an ambitious company-wide climate goal of halving their 2019 emissions by 2030 but their latest sustainability report showed that they were off track, as the company has grown and increased their investment in energy-hungry artificial intelligence. As providers of curated information at a global scale, Google has a unique intersection with the climate problem. Primarily, their impact comes from the electricity they buy, but they're also able to guide customers' decisions through the provision of information and through their parent company Alphabet. They've made some pretty bold investments in innovative, disruptive companies, so measuring their impact is arguably more than the sum of their Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Nevertheless, missing a clear target can't be very comfortable. Brandt discusses the company's ambitious yet challenging emissions reduction targets, the transformative potential of AI in environmental solutions, and the innovative clean technologies that might just help us reimagine our energy future. From predicting floods and reducing aircraft emissions, to molten salt batteries and grid optimization technologies, this conversation reveals how Google thinks about innovation and the climate.Leadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.
