From deadly California wildfires to covert Chinese operations on U.S. soil, and from the chaos of Ukraine to Venezuela's fentanyl networks, this episode unpacks the events that mainstream media often overlook—or misreport. We explore arsonist-driven tragedies, government mismanagement, the rise of Antifa as a real threat, and international plots threatening American lives. Tying it all together, we question the logic of U.S. foreign policy and highlight the risks of ignoring enemies at home while fighting conflicts abroad.

The Democrats seemingly hold the trump card of healthcare, a vital public concern, and polls are clearly in their favor, so why is their offensive so weak? The Trump administration, driven by Russell Vought, the mastermind behind Project 2025, is attempting to use this opportunity to further weaken the federal government—will they succeed? Will this spectacle fizzle out like previous shutdowns? This episode was recorded on October 4, 2025.

In this episode of Learn How to See Better, host Drew Davis challenges listeners to identify and dismantle “bogus belief systems”, which are nothing more than fear-based stories installed early in life that no longer serve them. He explains how repeating life patterns, discomfort, and emotional friction can reveal these beliefs, and he offers a practical path: cultivate awareness, question the belief's truth, and consciously replace it with an empowering alternative. Drawing from his own youth-sports conditioning, he shows how an outdated “hammer” mindset can sabotage adult growth. Tying to prior episodes on lifelong learning, embracing discomfort, and reframing failure, he urges listeners to hunt down one bogus belief this week and flip it into one that serves their goals.

Whether or not you think that there is a higher incidence of neurodiversity in the kink scene, research shows that around 6% of adults are affected by ADHD, which means over a rope career if you interact with different partners, at some point you're likely to tie with someone with the condition. In this episode, we ask listeners to share their lived experience of ADHD, to better understand the potential symptoms, and how it might affect rope - whether you are a top, bottom or self-tier. As ever, we remind us all that individual differences are stronger than group differences, and just because something applies to one person with ADHD, does not mean it applies to another person - the best way to understand your rope partner is to talk to them.

Leadership is the single most important factor in a sales team's success. You can have talented reps, strong products, and a solid sales process, but without effective leadership, performance stalls. As Duff Tucker, Sales Trainer, puts it on this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast: "You have to model the behaviors that you want your team to live out. When you model those, you get a lot of credibility. You have respect. You have influence.” In today's hyper-competitive sales environment, your team has choices. Top performers can work anywhere. Average reps will coast if you let them. But the teams that consistently crush quotas, retain top talent, and create cultures where everyone wants to win all have one thing in common: a leader who has mastered the fundamental skills that turn potential into performance. Here are five leadership skills every sales manager must master to drive their team to the next level. 1. Clear Communication: No Confusion, No Excuses Sales teams don't fail because of a lack of talent—they fail because of unclear expectations. Leadership starts with communication. If your reps don't know exactly what you expect, how you measure success, or where they're falling short, you're setting them up to miss the mark. Clarity means: Defining priorities: What activities matter most (calls, meetings, proposals) and why. Eliminating ambiguity: No mixed signals, no “read between the lines.” Giving feedback in real time: Don't wait for quarterly reviews to correct course. Practical tip: After every meeting, send a short recap of agreed actions and timelines. It reinforces expectations and removes excuses. Vague leadership creates vague results. 2. Goal Setting & Vision: Building Direction, Not Just Numbers A sales leader isn't just a scoreboard watcher. Your job is to give your team something bigger to aim at than just “hitting quota.” Without a clear vision, teams drift into reactive mode and lack initiative. People perform better when they're chasing a clear, meaningful vision. Effective goal setting requires more than revenue targets. It's about: Tying team goals to organizational strategy. Breaking big objectives into manageable activity benchmarks. Painting a picture of what winning looks like so reps can see themselves in it. Practical tip: Start every month by walking your team through why their goals matter and how success impacts the company, the customer, and their own careers. When reps buy into the vision, they push harder to achieve it. 3. Coaching: From Boss to Builder Micromanagers kill momentum. Coaches create it. Leadership in sales means shifting from telling people what to do to building people who can do it themselves. Great sales coaching involves: Observation: Ride-alongs, call reviews, pipeline inspections. Targeted feedback: Specific, actionable, focused on behaviors, not personality. Development mindset: Every interaction is a teaching moment. Practical tip: Block weekly one-on-one coaching sessions that focus on skills and pipeline health. Ask questions that uncover roadblocks instead of delivering lectures. Consistently coached reps outperform those left to figure it out alone. 4. Adaptability: Leading Through Change Markets shift, customers evolve, and strategies that worked yesterday won't guarantee tomorrow's success. The best leaders view challenges as opportunities. Adaptability looks like: Adjusting sales strategies with confidence. Staying ahead of industry trends, not reacting late. Modeling resilience when things don't go according to plan. Practical tip: Hold monthly “market pulse” sessions where you and your team discuss shifts in buyer behavior, competitor activity, and emerging tools. This keeps your team agile and ready to move, rather than stuck waiting for direction. 5. Accountability & Recognition: The Performance Balance Leadership is about balance, not being a cheerleader or tyrant.
Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
When a subscriber opens your box, do they instantly know what to do with what's inside? If the answer is “maybe” or “I'm not sure,” that's a problem. Because when your box isn't consumable, you're leaving money – and retention – on the table. In this Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm breaking down what it really means to create a consumable subscription box and why it matters so much for retention. Plus, I'll share five practical ways you can make your box easier to use, more engaging, and more shareable. What Does “Consumable” Really Mean? When I say your box should be consumable, I don't necessarily mean edible or disposable. Consumable means your box invites action. Subscribers know exactly what to do with what's inside. They can use it, style it, or enjoy it right away. If it's a craft box, can they see what the finished product should look like? If it's a self-care box, do they know how to use the items included? If it's a lifestyle box, can they imagine where the item fits into their daily life? Without those cues, subscribers are left guessing—and unused items quickly become clutter. Why Consumability Matters Making your box consumable isn't just a nice idea. It's a proven retention tool that: Increases retention.When subscribers use what's in your box, they don't want to lose that experience by canceling. Builds momentum.Engagement with this month's box creates anticipation for the next one. Sparks word-of-mouth.People love to share what they're using – and loving. Reduces “too much stuff” churn.Boxes don't feel like clutter when everything inside is being used and enjoyed. 5 Ways to Make Your Box More Consumable Make sure your subscription box gets used, not stuck on a shelf by: Including a visual outcome.Show the finished project, styled look, or end result—whether in your insert, your group, or on social media. Offering a simple, actionable insert.A “Start Here” card or checklist keeps subscribers from feeling lost. Tying each item to a moment.Suggest when or how to use it: “Style this for your next brunch date” or “Keep this at your desk for a mid-day boost.” Removing friction.Label what needs labeling and explain anything that might cause confusion. Being the influencer.Don't just curate. Model the experience. Show up using your own products on social media, in your group, or in emails. Before you send out your next box, run it through this quick audit: If I gave this to a stranger, would they know what to do with it? Can my subscriber use at least 70% of this box within 7 days? Have I clearly shown or explained how to use each item? Have I included visual or verbal cues that invite action? Have I modeled the experience myself in photos, videos, or inserts? If you can't answer “yes” to at least four of those questions, you have an opportunity to level up before shipping day. A consumable box is a retention strategy. If subscribers use the items in your box, they'll want more. If they don't, they'll forget it. Audit your next box by asking yourself these five questions and watch how much more your subscribers engage. Because the more they consume your box, the longer they'll stick around.

On this week's episode of Tying it Together, pollster Tom Jensen joins host Tim Boyum to talk about early polling in the 2026 U.S. Senate race and whether we can really glean any insight this early into the race. Jensen also talks in depth about the overall political mood for 2026, the highs and lows for candidates Roy Cooper and Michael Whatley, and why we should reconsider everything we think we know about the race. Jensen has been a pollster with the nationally recognized Public Policy Polling since 2007. He's a UNC-Chapel Hill graduate.

Matt Ehret and Ghost team up for a sprawling dive into geopolitics, history, and hidden power structures. They open with Ghost's travel nightmare and use it as a springboard to expose how decades of neglect and privatization crippled regional airports, linking the failures back to post-9/11 policies and financial corruption. From there, the discussion widens into the theft of PROMIS software, Israel's role as the “sixth eye” in Five Eyes intelligence, and the deep entanglement of organized crime syndicates like the Bronfmans with intelligence agencies. The hosts explore the rise of the Pilgrim Society, the Federal Reserve's creation, and how monopolists like J.P. Morgan used U.S. Steel to reshape American industry. Tying it all to the present, they analyze Trump's “golden share” in U.S. Steel, Nippon Steel's losses, and how sovereign nations are reclaiming control from transnational cartels. With detours into Italy's populist Matteo Salvini, Soros crackdowns, and Brad Zerbo's Codex 9/11, this episode blends history and current events into a sharp critique of state capture and the global struggle for sovereignty.

On this week's episode of Tying it Together, an exclusive interview with Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley. The RNC Chairman and former N.C. GOP chairman discusses his decision to run for office for the first time, his race against former Gov. Roy Cooper, and all the issues that will make this the most important and closely watched race in the country in 2026.
Ghost unpacks the seismic shifts in global power as BRICS nations push for expansion and challenge the dominance of the U.S. dollar. He explores how currency wars and resource control are reshaping alliances, with China and Russia leading moves to upend Western economic influence. The episode also considers Trump's positioning on the world stage, from trade policy to diplomatic maneuvers, and what his strategies mean for both America's sovereignty and its role in international affairs. Tying in conflicts from Ukraine to Africa, Ghost connects the dots on how economic independence, energy politics, and shifting alliances form the battleground of a new multipolar world.

What is the safest place for your boat in a hurricane? Now is the time to decide, not when a storm is bearing down on you. Here's what you need to know. Summary Many factors contribute to helping your boat survive a direct hit from a hurricane. But perhaps the most important factor is location. As we head into the heart of hurricane season, start thinking about where to put your boat before you face an incoming storm. Here's what I've learned about the best sites for helping your boat survive a hurricane. We have survived two direct hits and around a dozen other storms within fifty miles of our location. Most articles discuss the best lines, fenders, and chafe gear to use. And sure, that's important. But your boat is more likely to survive a hurricane if it's in a safe spot. A secure spot protects your boat from more than just wind. You must also consider waves, storm surge, rain, and flying debris. The best location protects from as many factors as possible. In addition, can you reach the place you have selected in time? And can you evacuate from there? Make sure you evaluate it in person. Don't forget to pick a backup spot. Tying up your boat properly only helps if it's in the right place at the start. For more details, listen to the full podcast or check out The Importance of Planning Where to Put Your Boat for a Hurricane.

Today we have Rachel. She is 48 years old and lives in Minneapolis, MN. She took her last drink on August 28th, 2018. This episode brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Sober Link – learn more and save $50 off of a device Come join us in beautiful Bozeman, Montana this August 6th – 10th for our annual flagship retreat. We have a few camping spots as well as a few spots left in the men's cabin. [02:50] Thoughts from Paul: Healing can look a bit like a paradox and Paul shares several examples showing this. Tying this same idea into ditching the booze we can say that quitting drinking can make you feel more anxious at first, when it's actually making you calmer in the long run. Quitting drinking can make you feel more emotional and raw when it's actually making you more resilient. Sobriety can make you feel bored at first, but it's actually clearing space for hobbies and adventures that you'll deeply enjoy. Healing can hurt at first, but look out, brighter days are just on the horizon. Can you do this? Absolutely. Will there be stumbles, bad days? Without a doubt. You can do this, you are doing this and you're further along on your AF journey than you think. Keep moving forward. [06:30] Paul introduces Rachel: Rachel is 48 and lives just outside of Minneapolis, MN. She is married and they have three cats. She is a director in financial services and for fun she enjoys reading, writing and attending meet ups with other sober people. Alcohol was always present when Rachel was growing up. She was an achiever in school and had already completed some college before graduating high school. Drinking was not a focus for her through her school years, and she didn't start drinking until later in her life. Around 2008 during the national financial crisis, Rachel says her drinking changed. Being a bond trader during this time was tough due to the uncertainty of the future. Rachel found herself having a drink after work and it became part of habit loop for her: go to work, come home, have a drink. Over the next 7 to 10 years, that one drink turned into multiple bottles. Rachel was desperate to figure out how to solve this issue without drinking and tried moderation with no luck. She began reading books like This Naked Mind and listening to podcasts like RE. She felt the stories on the podcast were relatable because they were normal people and not the stereotypical bum under a bridge with the brown paper bag. After hearing suggestions of trying to quit for 30 days, Rachel decided to try it and has been sober ever since. She says the first three days were hard but within seven days she was sleeping better than she ever had. Rachel began substituting wine with sparkling water and while it was tough at first, it became her new habit. She also joined Café RE and found community there and in AA. Rachel recently self-published a book called Functional: A High Performer's Guide to Achieving Freedom from Alcohol. She says she wrote a book that she wishes were available to her when she got sober. Many of the books out there have glaring rock bottom moments which Rachel said she didn't have. She believes that it may sometimes be harder for people without a rock bottom to quit because it isn't as obvious that they need to. Rachel's best advice to somebody that is functional is to just try to quit for 30 days and use it as a time of self-discovery. Recovery Elevator It all starts from the inside out. I love you guys.
