If you've ever thought about writing a book—but felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start—this episode is for you. In this powerful conversation, Allison Walsh is joined by bestselling author, speaker, and founder of Gordon Publishing, Kathryn Gordon. Together, they unpack what truly holds people back from becoming authors—and why self-doubt, not lack of talent, is the biggest barrier. Kathryn shares her personal journey from supporting her husband's global brand to stepping into her own “second act,” building a publishing company, and helping women bring their stories to life. She breaks down the three main publishing paths (traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing), what most first-time authors get wrong, and how you can realistically write and publish a book in as little as nine months. This episode also goes deeper than strategy. You'll hear the emotional turning point that changed Kathryn's life, how she transformed doubt into drive, and why your story matters more than you think. Whether you want to build authority, grow your business, or create meaningful impact, your book can become your most powerful asset. If there's a book inside you—this is your sign to start. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why most people never finish writing their book The real reason self-doubt stops aspiring authors The difference between traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing How to write and publish a book in 9 months Why your book is your “calling card” for business growth How to choose between a ghostwriter or writing coach The importance of owning your content and rights How books can create authority, visibility, and income The mindset shift that changes everything when pursuing big goals Key Topics Discussed: Writing your first book Building confidence as a woman entrepreneur Publishing strategies and industry insights Personal growth and reinvention Turning your story into impact About the Guest Kathryn Gordon is a bestselling author, speaker, and founder of Gordon Publishing, where she helps entrepreneurs and thought leaders bring their stories to life.

In this podcast episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd Dexheimer interviews Mikael Avatar about his journey to success, highlighting the many obstacles he has overcome throughout his life as both an athlete and a business owner. Their conversation focuses on the concept of building a joyful legacy and living with intention. A central question they explore is, “Where are you going?”—a question many people struggle to answer, revealing a lack of clarity in their personal and professional lives. Mikael shares insights on what it truly takes to succeed when facing challenges, emphasizing the importance of passion as a driving force in overcoming obstacles. He explains that passion not only fuels perseverance but also helps individuals stay committed during difficult times. The discussion also highlights the difference between those who simply talk and dream about success and those who take action. Ultimately, they stress that becoming a “doer” and consistently taking action is essential to achieving meaningful success and creating a lasting, fulfilling legacy.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals.  On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Kale McCubbins. We discuss: Buying the first farm is the hardest step. Land ownership becomes addictive fast. Small farms can hold giant deer. Access is critical on hunting properties. Relationships with neighbors matter. Recreational land demand keeps growing. Waiting for cheaper land rarely works. Multiple small farms can outperform one large tract. Young buyers should leverage time and energy. Habitat and neighborhood shape deer quality. And so much more!

Somewhere in the documents surrounding Peter Mandelson's ambassadorial appointment, the Spectator's political editor Tim Shipman reveals, is a text Keir Starmer sent the night before the announcement. ‘You'll be brilliant in challenging circumstances,' he told the Prince of Darkness. ‘And after many years of our discussions, we get to work together side by side. I really look forward to that.' The message was leaked after a week in which the Prime Minister's relationship with senior civil servants has collapsed. Tim says Starmer's ‘apparent incomprehension of the very process he advocates has led officials to conclude he is no better than the predecessor he most deplores – Boris Johnson'. Has Starmer become the very thing he sought to destroy?Tim Shipman joins Oscar Edmondson and James Heale to discuss.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

It had been a late-night trip to the video store, the kind of routine they'd done dozens of times before—nothing about it standing out until something shifted.At first, it was easy to ignore. A pause that didn't make sense. A feeling that passed quickly enough to dismiss. But once they were home and the movie started, something in the room changed—and their dog was the first to notice.What began as a subtle reaction turned into something focused, controlled, and impossible to calm. Turning the movie off didn't stop it. If anything, it made it worse. Because whatever the dog was reacting to wasn't staying in one place.And when the only way to make it stop was to physically remove the movie from the house… it left behind a question that didn't go away as easily as the feeling did.#HauntedObject #CursedItem #ParanormalEncounter #GhostStory #Unexplained #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedMovie #SomethingWasThere #DogSeesGhosts #UnseenPresence #CreepyStory #SupernaturalExperience #Paranormal #TheUnexplaiendLove real ghost stories?

Turning 53 has John reflecting on what actually matters. In this birthday episode, he shares five revelations shaped by loss, growth, love, and starting over. From losing his house to finding more meaning, joy, and freedom, this is a deeply personal conversation about accepting the truth, living in alignment, and letting life change you. He talks about why growth often feels like loss before it feels like expansion, why love is something we build and practice, and why starting over is not failure but a skill. This episode feels like a check-in with yourself. A reminder that what was true for you before may not be true now. That chasing highs will never give you the kind of life alignment can. That love is less about finding the perfect feeling and more about consistency, repair, and honesty. And that no matter your age, you can begin again. If you've been reevaluating your life, grieving an old version of yourself, or wondering whether it's too late to change course, this episode will meet you there. In this episode: Truth changes your life when you fully accept it Why alignment matters more than chasing highs Growth often feels like loss before it feels like expansion Love is built through consistency, honesty, and repair You can start over more times than you think

The second talk in a weeklong retreat.  We often assume insight arises from calm, clarity, or deep concentration. But in truth, it is often born in the very moments we want to escape. This talk invites a radical reframe: what if restlessness, doubt, and emotional turbulence are not problems to solve—but the precise conditions for awakening? Together, we'll explore how mindful investigation transforms reactivity into understanding, and how even the most difficult inner states can become gateways to freedom.   Through practical instruction and reflection, you'll explore how to investigate experience without turning practice into a subtle self-improvement project, how to shift from "my problem" to unfolding process, and how insight naturally gives way to a deep, effortless rest. As understanding deepens, something unexpected emerges—a quiet recognition that nothing needs to be fixed for freedom to be here.

Tommy talks about why staying busy can be a survival strategy, how he flipped a career-ending rejection into a turning point, and the daily habits like exercising and sticking to a strict routine that keep him moving when life feels unpredictable. Drawing from stories in his book, Tommy also shares the secrets of smart networking, why he shows up in shorts and a button-up to doctor's appointments, and how he turned a life of nonstop hustle into a mission to inspire others. Tune in to hear how Tommy proves that no matter how many times you mess up, the key is simple, you just don't give up.   What We Discuss [00:00] Introduction [00:52] Meet Tommy Burke [02:13] The "don't give up" philosophy [03:50] An early career setback [04:53] Bouncing back with hard work [06:06] The strategy of networking [07:41] Working with Hollywood stars [08:32] Battling cancer and Parkinson's [10:32] The necessity of daily exercise [12:47] Current focus: book and workouts [14:18] Dealing with uncertainty [17:20] The book's inspiring message [18:06] The power of a daily routine [21:08] Where to find Tommy's book [22:29] Podcast outro   Notable Quotes [02:18] "I screwed up so many times, but I just don't give up.

Hi fellow co-creators! Dropping in with 'stay harmonized' episode. A grounding + orientating episode. One meant to help us move through this intense threshold time without losing ourselves, our links to each other, and to what is real — without burning out, numbing out, spinning in place, or letting our energy get hijacked and wasted. We are in a great turning, that includes lots of resistance and dark as well as rising up and light. We can feel it - in the world, in our work, in our own lives, minds, hearts, bodies and spirits…. and it's a lot! This turn is not going to be a light switch ... it's more like riding up a mountain pass, with rest stations needed along the way. Each of us going through our own liberation and elevation that is a micro of the macro elevation humanity is moving through together.   I'm on the ride with all of you - I've just been out and about, and internally gathering insight the last two months... and now ready to sharing the map I've been living myself — that I think may serve you too.  The map: Release to Receive. Root In to Relax. Rebel to Reveal. We will use this as a frame to explore: Returning Patterns: the merry-go-round and the upward evolving spiral, how to tell which one you're on Release to Receive: getting honest about what we can no longer carry so we can open to what's truly trying to come in Root In to Relax: rooting like trees into the rhythms + practices + and relationships that keep us sustained Rebel to Reveal: tuning into our "Sacred Rebel Hearts" for guidance + courage to do things differently and embrace our power to make shift happen in simple yet significant ways - for ourselves (me) and our part to play (we).  

Eric welcomes Eliot back from his sojourn in Spain to break down the latest jackassery from the administration. They discuss the current state of the Iran war, including the somehow simultaneously open and closed Strait of Hormuz, the ongoing negotiations, and how China factors into the conflict. Turning to Europe, they assess Viktor Orban's electoral defeat in Hungary and the blow it strikes against Trump, Vance, MAGA, and the European right writ large. The conversation also covers the U.S.'s diminishing support for Ukraine and the battlefield situation amidst Russia's spring offensive. They wrap up with thoughts about the broader European reaction to Trump's continued threat to withdraw from NATO and Trump's architectural plans for the nation's capital.Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

Eric Nelson is Executive Editor at Harper and Vice President and Publisher of Broadside, HarperCollins conservative imprint. Since joining Harper in 2017, he has published thirteen New York Times #1 bestsellers. In addition to his time at HarperCollins, Penguin, and Wiley, he has worked as an academic editor, literary agent, and author, including his successful parody Oh, The Meetings You'll Go To, written under the pen name Dr. Suits. As a publisher, his client list includes Joe Scarborough, Jesse Watters, Pete Hegseth, Dan Carlin, and Chris Rufo, among others. In this episode we discuss the following: Eric gave us a powerful lens for capturing attention: most advice lives on a dial (e.g., work harder, care more), but what actually sticks is a switch, something you either do or you don't. We all know that eating less and exercising more is what matters when trying to lose weight. But it's that third thing—the concrete, measurable action like drinking celery juice—that gets people to buy the dieting book. As Eric reminded us, it's not about being provocative for its own sake—it's about being provocative and defensible. The best ideas make people think, “I always believed this… now I can prove it.” I'm excited to use the lens Eric provided that helped him start making money in his career. He switched from being a dumb smart person, to a smart dumb person. Rather than advance the conversation for 1000 people, Eric entered the conversation of a million people.

Workforce conversations often live in boardrooms. Results live on job sites and factory floors. In this episode, Chad Bryant joins Houston Blackwood and Matt Heaton to bridge the gap between the two.From automotive giants and shipbuilding to HVAC, weatherization, diesel, and customer experience pathways, Chad outlines how coordinated action — not isolated programs — drives stronger economic outcomes. With flexible funding, higher-volume training delivery, and direct legislative insight, this conversation shows how systems thinking transforms workforce from reactive to strategic.

By 2011, Baghdad was physically transformed by concrete blast walls institutionalizing sectarian division. Abdul-Ahadcritiques Maliki's government for hollowing out the military through systemic corruption, turning units into "money-making machines." The failure of the 2012 "Friday of Anger" protests and the spillover of the Syrian civil war allowed ISIS to masquerade as "liberators" in Sunni cities like Mosul, exploiting deep-seated grievances against the oppressive central government.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Katrina "Kat" High shares her journey from being laid off in the pharma industry to co-founding Artemis Factor, a strategic consulting firm serving pharma and biotech clients. She explains how the business grew from three founders to a team of more than 50 people through bootstrapping and strong industry relationships. Kat highlights the importance of delegation, building the right support systems, and not trying to do everything alone. A unique part of her approach is hiring talented professionals impacted by layoffs and helping rebuild their confidence and careers. She also discusses balancing fast growth, maintaining company culture, and focusing on meaningful impact on employees and patients. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Katrina "Kat" High, the hardest thing in growing a small business is dealing with external factors that you cannot anticipate, because business owners often face unexpected changes in the market, economy, or industry that are outside their control. She emphasized that since you never fully know what challenges are coming, the key is to stay prepared by maintaining strong cash flow, building a reliable team, keeping clear communication with employees, and working closely with advisors so you can handle whatever situation arises. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Katrina "Kat" High shared that one of her recent favorite resources that has helped her is content around money mindset, particularly the "Let Them" concept discussed on the Mel Robbins podcast, which she found useful for handling challenges in her current stage of business. She mentioned that instead of sticking to one all-time favorite book, she prefers reading books and listening to podcasts that match the specific season or challenges she is facing, so the advice feels practical and relevant to her situation at that time. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Katrina "Kat" High recommends tapping into a mix of practical and mindset-focused resources, including project management and AI-focused podcasts to stay current with industry trends, alongside investing podcasts to build broader business awareness. She also highlights the value of continuously learning through audiobooks and physical books depending on your season of business, and mentions mindset-driven content like the The Mel Robbins Podcast as helpful for navigating challenges. Overall, her approach is to consistently expose yourself to diverse learning channels—audio, reading, and niche podcasts—so you can grow both your technical skills and decision-making as a small business owner. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Katrina "Kat" High recommends implementing a strong Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system as a foundational tool to grow a small business, emphasizing that having a centralized way to track client interactions, manage leads, and maintain relationships is critical for sustainable growth. A good CRM helps streamline sales processes, improves communication, and ensures no opportunities fall through the cracks, allowing business owners to stay organized while scaling. She suggests choosing a CRM that fits your business needs and using it consistently, as it becomes a key driver in building long-term client relationships and making smarter, data-informed decisions. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Katrina "Kat" High would tell herself to just get started and not wait for everything to be perfect, because clarity and confidence come from taking action, not overplanning. She emphasizes that you won't be able to map everything out from day one, and that's okay—what you learn along the journey will guide your next steps. Instead of striving for perfection, focus on progress, stay adaptable, and trust that each experience will give you the insight needed to grow and make better decisions as your business evolves.

On this episode we’re talking about how to have a healthy relationship with social media and why some of the messages we consume might be quietly keeping us stuck. We unpack the rise of “soft girl culture,” the difference between rest and avoidance, and how easily self-protection can turn into self-abandonment when there’s no structure to support it. This conversation isn’t about becoming harder; it’s about understanding that real feminine power comes from the balance of safety, discipline, and self-leadership. Because true freedom doesn’t come from doing less, it comes from learning how to lead yourself well. Grounding, honest, and gently confronting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, I join Brad Banyas on the SaltyMF GOAT Podcast for a conversation about bold decisions, clear values, and refusing to let other people limit your vision. I talk about naming a book in a way people remember, how negativity and criticism can become fuel, and why a one star review helped create momentum instead of stopping me. We also get into building a community of leaders, not followers, and how empowering others creates exponential impact over time. It's a conversation about optimism, accountability, consistency, and removing the interference between you and your full potential.

Ralph welcomes journalist and author Megan Greenwell to discuss her book "Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream." Then, Ralph speaks to James Zogby (co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute) about the recent Israeli attacks on Lebanon.Megan Greenwell is a journalist who has written or edited for publications including the New York Times, the Washington Post, New York Magazine, WIRED, and ESPN. She is also the deputy director of the Princeton Summer Journalism Program, a workshop and college-access initiative for students from low-income backgrounds. She is the author of Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream.The real trick with private equity (and this was the thing that made me want to write a book on it) is that when they take out those billions of dollars worth of loans (if you're buying a bigger company), the private equity firm is not responsible for paying those loans back. Only the portfolio company in whose name the private equity firm has taken the money out is on the hook for that money. And so what you end up with is this split in incentive where what's good for the private equity firm is not necessarily what's good for its own portfolio company.Megan Greenwell[Congress hasn't repealed the carried interest loophole] because Congress is in the pocket of the private equity industry. 88% of members of the House and Senate take donations from private equity. Interestingly, Donald Trump has called twice for the carried interest loophole to be closed. And still, even he, as much of a stranglehold as he has on the Republican Party, he can't build support for it among Republicans. Because they're all taking private equity money, as are the vast majority of the Democrats. So this is not a partisan issue.Megan GreenwellOne of the reasons I was really interested to write this book as a series of narrative profiles of people trying to do something about [private equity] is: none of them are trying to do something about it through the federal government. And I think when we talk about “Only the federal government can save us,” we really risk turning people away from trying to do anything. And I think we've seen on the private equity issue there has been some really interesting movement on the state level in several places—real reforms that are much easier to accomplish on the state level than on the federal level.Megan GreenwellJames Zogby is co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute, and he is featured frequently on national and international media as an expert on Middle East affairs. Since 1992, he has written a weekly column— “Washington Watch” —that is published in 12 countries. He is the author of several books, including Looking at Iran: The Rise and Fall of Iran in Arab Public Opinion, The Tumultuous Decade: Arab, Turkish, and Iranian Public Opinion - 2010-2019, Arab Voices: What They Are Saying to Us, and Why it Matters, and Palestinians: The Invisible Victims.Not only are thousands being killed [in Lebanon], but there's a process underway of demolishing villages, obviously expelling lots of people, creating internal refugees and sectarian tension as a result of it. And clearly (as Israel has stated, and I think we have to believe them), that they actually want to annex the territory up to the Litani River and maybe even further. They call it a buffer zone, but we've heard that buffer zone stuff before. It's merely a way of taking new land and providing opportunities for settlements.James ZogbyAs we saw ourselves in Vietnam, as we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan, Israel is now getting PTSD reports that are deeply disturbing to them. They're getting suicides. They're getting an exhausted military. They're not exhausted with the weapons that they're losing (because they're losing a lot and they're using a lot), they're getting emotionally and physically exhausted. Look, when the soldiers do what they've been doing—which is basically inhuman behavior, I mean, it's disgraceful behavior—it begins to eat away at the soul. You get these suicides. You get these emotional collapses. And what gets me upset is that—72,000 Palestinians dead, a few Israeli soldiers having PTSD and trauma and committing suicide becomes a news story? My feeling has to be with the Lebanese and Palestinians.James ZogbyWhen I hear on the DNC from other members who say to me, “When you talk about Israeli genocide, that's anti-Semitic, it makes me uncomfortable,” I said, “You know what makes me uncomfortable? That genocide is actually taking place. And it makes me equally uncomfortable that you won't admit it or even want us to talk about it.”James ZogbyNews 4/17/26* Our top story this week comes to us from New York City, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani is delivering on yet another campaign promise thought impossible by mainstream pundits and beltway insiders: the creation of municipal grocery stores. Capping off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Mamdani delivered remarks in front of La Marqueta in East Harlem, the site of one of the original city-run grocery stores created under Fiorello LaGuardia. Mamdani laid out how the stores will operate, noting that while “A private operator will run the store,” they will “answer to the standards the city will set…[including] requirements that at our stores bread will be cheaper. Eggs will be cheaper. Grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable equation. And workers will be treated with dignity.” Mamdani plans to have the first of these stores open in 2027 and stores in all five boroughs open by the end of his term in 2029. This from NBC4 New York.* Meanwhile, in New York's 10th congressional district, former NYC Comptroller and Mamdani ally Brad Lander is aligning himself with AOC and calling for an end to U.S. aid to Israel. In a meeting with a group of local journalists, Lander said “We need to follow the Leahy Law and condition all of our foreign policy aid on human rights and international law compliance…At the moment, Israel is very far from complying with human rights and international law. So I would not vote for any more aid,” adding that he “hopes” Israel will “[get] there.” The Forward notes that this is an evolution from the position he took during his mayoral candidacy last year. At that time Lander opposed sending offensive weapons to Israel, but believed that the US should keep funding Israel's Iron Dome, per the New York Post. Through a representative, Lander's opponent in this race, incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman, told the Forward he “will always support defensive systems,” like Iron Dome.* The liberal Zionist organization J Street is also shifting its position. The Middle East Eye reports the group is calling for an end to “direct” US military support to Israel, according to a new policy paper. To be clear however, while this does mark a shift from J Street's previous position that the U.S. should provide defensive weapons systems – like resupply for Iron Dome, at no cost to Israelis – J Street now argues that Israel should simply purchase these weapons instead. In short, J Street is arguing that Israel is rich enough to provide for its own defense and that the American financial subsidies are “unnecessary and politically counterproductive, creating avoidable tensions in US domestic politics and in the bilateral relationship.” This is in line with statements by Netanyahu himself, who has made it clear that Israel wants to reduce its reliance on U.S. military aid “all the way down to zero.”* In other news, Reuters reports Apple is closing several of its brick-and-mortar stores, including the first ever unionized Apple store. Over 100 workers at the store, located in Towson Town Center mall in Maryland, voted to join the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAM) in 2022; Reuters notes that “a similar union drive in Atlanta [around that same time] was withdrawn, ‌with ⁠Apple workers alleging intimidation.”At the other stores being shuttered, employees were offered the option to continue their jobs at other nearby Apple stores. At the Towson store however, Apple is claiming that the collective bargaining agreement prevents relocation. The union says this is “false” and is reportedly exploring all legal options. IAM also expressed “serious concerns that ​this closure is a cynical attempt to ​bust ⁠the union.”* Elsewhere in Maryland, the state legislature has passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. This bill, which Gov. Wes Moore has vowed to sign into law, is designed to prohibit surveillance pricing, the practice of retailers charging different shoppers different prices for the same item at the same time based on information the store knows about them as an individual. While crucial and innovative legislation, Consumer Reports – which “engaged on the bill…throughout the legislative process,” argues that it has been watered down to the point of inadequacy via lobbying by the Maryland Retail Alliance. Some of the added exceptions include failing to establish any baseline or standard price – given that “with no set standard price, everything can be marketed as a discount” — and exempting any pricing associated with loyalty or membership programs or subscriptions. The bill also does not contain strong enforcement provisions, such as a private right of action. So, while this bill is a start – and you have to start somewhere – we echo Consumer Reports' urging that “other state legislatures considering personalized pricing legislation to build in stronger consumer protections and avoid loopholes that weakened this bill.”* In more consumer news, the scourge of sports betting continues to metastasize. A new report from Siena Research Institute has produced staggering findings: “27% of Americans and [52%] of men ages 18-49…[say] they have an active account with an online sportsbook such as DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel, or BetMGM.” And, while most respondents maintain that they bet because it is “exciting” and “fun”, “31% of bettors report having had someone express concern about their usage of online sportsbooks, [42%] of bettors...say they have felt that they bet more than they should…Fifteen percent of bettors…say they have called a problem gambling Helpline or sought other help with problem gambling, and 22% of respondents overall say they know someone that has or has had a problem with online sports betting.” Taken together, this represents a deeply troubling gambling wave cresting in this country. And, while legislators are beginning to take notice, the sports betting interests are beginning to fight back, with Bloomberg reporting that these companies – FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics Sportsbook – are beginning to dump money by the truckload into new Super PACs. Just this year, they have contributed $41 million to Win for America, according to new FEC filings, and show no sign of stopping there.* In our final domestic story, this week saw the implosion of leading California gubernatorial candidate, Rep. Eric Swalwell. Swalwell ultimately opted to resign his seat in Congress after it became clear that the Democratic and Republican House leadership was mulling a deal to expel him and flagrantly corrupt Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick along with two scandal-ridden GOP Reps., Tony Gonzales and Cory Mills. The fact that Swalwell's resignation was paired with that of Gonzales lends credence to the idea that some deal was worked out behind closed doors. Yet, deal or no, this leaves Cherfilus-McCormick and Mills in their seats despite general acknowledgment that they should be expelled, per the Hill. This constitutes congressional horsetrading at its most base.* Turning to international news, this week Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has for months governed the country with a plurality in the House of Commons, has successfully secured a majority for his ruling Liberal Party. This majority was secured via three byelection victories, but more significantly, by five recent “floor crossings” – elected MPs switching parties to join the Liberals. Having secured a majority, Carney is now confident in his ability to stave off a no-confidence vote and will likely remain in power at least until the 2029 general election. Unfortunately, the New Democratic Party (NDP) saw improvement in their share of the vote in only one “riding” despite their new leadership. This just proves the party has a long, difficult climb back to relevance in Canadian politics. This from the CBC.* Looking Southward, this week, Peru held the first round of their presidential election. The top two vote getters will advance to a runoff, but who those candidates would be remained unclear for an agonizingly protracted period of time. Keiko Fujimori, daughter of the former Japanese-Peruvian dictator and a perennial far-right candidate herself, came in first with 17% of the vote. And at first, it seemed like the second slot would be taken by ultraconservative Rafael Lopez Aliaga. However, following days of vote counting, Aliaga moved down to third place, with the second place finisher proving to be Roberto Sanchez, a figure of the Peruvian Left and ally of ousted former President Pedro Castillo. Sanchez however is also allegedly allied with the Andean supremacist movement led by Antauro Humala in Peru. The Peruvian political system has been rocked by instability, churning through “eight presidents in the past 10 years, including four who were impeached,” per France 24. Castillo, the last democratically elected president, was sentenced to over 11 years in prison in 2025; if elected, Sanchez would likely pardon the former president as other left-wing Latin American leaders including Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum have urged. How long Sanchez, or for that matter Fujimori, might last in office is another question.* Finally, we turn to the United Kingdom where the dream of a new Leftist party – Your Party – is foundering. After a promising start, Your Party ultimately descended into infighting between the Grassroots Left faction, led by Zarah Sultana, and another faction, the Many, led by former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Your Party also chose to bar from participation any avowedly leftist organizations. These moves, alienating to the very constituencies most interested in backing the YP, paired with the meteoric rise of the Green Party under Zack Polanski and a threatened exodus by the Scottish YP segment, have rendered what could have been a substantial power in Parliament, pressing for concessions on issues if not achieving a majority itself, utterly toothless.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Admin night may seem like a small cultural shift, but its impact speaks volumes. In a fast-paced, digitally driven world, people are rediscovering the value of slowing down, showing up, and supporting one another in practical ways. It's about people choosing to be present with each other—turning ordinary tasks into...

Alex Jones turning on Donald Trump wasn't on anyone's bingo card, but here we are! In a moment that feels less like politics and more like a full-blown schism, one of Trump's loudest allies is suddenly calling him out for going too far. Is this the beginning of real cracks inside MAGA, or just another bizarre twist in a movement that's built on them? Either way, it's a rare glimpse of the machine turning on itself, and it's hard to look away... Elsewhere, a school assembly speaker gets exposed for sneaking Jesus into anti-bullying talks, a baptism ends in tragedy and criminal charges, and a group of nuns would rather sue than care for trans patients. Plus, Trump dreams up a massive, gold-drenched monument for D.C., the Pentagon reportedly picks a fight with the Pope, and an astronaut can't resist bringing Jesus into orbit.

In this solo episode, I'm answering two of the most common questions I get: where to start in the Bible and how to journal in a way that actually helps you grow. I'm not giving you a rigid formula here. Just some simple, practical rhythms that have helped me stay grounded in my relationship with God. Where to Start in the Bible Whether the Bible feels overwhelming or overly familiar, my recommendation is the same: Start with the book of John and the Psalms. The Psalms are raw, emotional, and deeply human. They show you how to bring real feelings, fear, doubt, anger, grief, all of it, before God, while consistently returning to truth. They're a model for processing life honestly while anchoring yourself in who God is. John, on the other hand, focuses on who Jesus is. While the other Gospels emphasize events, John emphasizes identity. It offers a clearer, more relational picture of Christ and helps you connect personally with Him. Together, these two books give you both emotional honesty and theological clarity. A Better Way to Read the Bible I'm a big believer in slowing down rather than rushing through Scripture. Reading the Bible in a year can be valuable, sure, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially if you're just starting out. Instead, I recommend staying in smaller sections longer and actually letting them shape your thinking and behavior. A helpful next step after John and Psalms is the book of Colossians. It offers practical guidance for how to live as a Christian. It's short but dense, which makes it perfect for slow, intentional study. Journaling: What It Actually Looks Like Journaling is not about structure or perfection. At its core, it's just a conversation with God. A typical journal entry for me might include: Writing out a passage of Scripture Taking notes or observations Processing personal thoughts or convictions Turning those thoughts into prayer Praying for others Reflecting on the day or expressing gratitude Not every entry includes all of these elements, but this general flow helps me connect Scripture, personal reflection, and prayer in a natural way. The Freedom of Messy Journaling One of the biggest barriers to journaling is the pressure to do it "right." Letting go of perfectionism was a huge turning point for me. Journaling doesn't need to be neat, organized, or even fully readable. It doesn't require a specific notebook or pen. What matters is honesty. Some entries are structured and thoughtful. Others are rushed, emotional, or scattered. Both are valuable. God is not concerned with how it looks, He's concerned with your heart. Daily Anchors That Keep You Rooted Rather than relying on a single quiet time, I build small points of connection with God throughout my day. These include: Morning Bible reading and journaling Prayer while starting the day Brief moments of prayer before beginning work Gratitude while completing daily tasks Reflection and journaling at night These "anchors" aren't meant to be burdensome. They're simple reminders that keep me connected to God in the middle of everyday life. Why These Practices Matter I want to be really clear, these habits are not about performance. They exist because we're naturally forgetful and prone to drift. Without intentional reminders, it's so easy to rely on yourself, lose perspective, and become overwhelmed. These small, consistent practices help re-center my mind on truth and keep my relationship with God active throughout the day.

Fr. John A. Perricone entered seminary in 1968 and watched from the inside as the Catholic Church underwent its most catastrophic crisis in modern history: heresy taught openly in classrooms, thousands of priests abandoning the faith, and a generation of bishops who did nothing to stop it. Today, he sees the tide turning with many returning to these previously discarded traditions of the Catholic Church.
