Carl and Mike open the show with Falcons talk as they agree that it was hard to watch the team's first preseason game in which they lost to the Broncos as they believe the execution by players was embarrassing and while Kevin Stefanski says the starters will not play on Saturday against the Colts, the believe the starters should take reps because they looked unprepared.
Jeff Bliss begins with the Super El Niño building in the Pacific, reaching record-high temperatures that promise severe drought and wildfires for California, a state currently unprepared for these atmospheric changes.

The segment explores Seattle's history of "police-free" zones and the Democratic Socialists of America's platform, which now advocates for dismantling the US government into a unicameral legislature. The report shifts to Idaho, where a tragic shooting at an In-N-Out restaurant resulted in casualties and raised community concerns. In Los Angeles, a massive cleanup of a rotting meat locker in East LA has created toxic air conditions, while residents fight against the facility's rebuild. Bliss describes the "homeless industrial complex" in Santa Monica, highlighting multi-story cardboard shelters that reach up to five stories high. Finally, the file covers Governor Gavin Newsom's presidential aspirations and public frustration over his incomplete tax returns, which showed a $2 million annual income. (1)

What happens when several armed people are ready to protect a church—but nobody has a shared plan?Pastor, electrician, martial artist, and Citizen Defender instructor Bill Anderson returns to discuss the uncomfortable reality of volunteer church security. After discovering how many people in his small church were carrying firearms, Bill did not feel safer. His first concern was confusion, friendly fire, and uncontrolled reactions during a real attack.John and Bill break down why carrying a firearm does not automatically make someone prepared to protect others. They discuss realistic scenario training, freezing under stress, medical preparedness, threat recognition, de-escalation, and the need to organize armed volunteers before an emergency happens.The conversation then moves into a larger training principle: techniques matter, but techniques fail when people become locked into a scripted response. Real violence changes. Effective defenders must understand the purpose behind a technique, recognize when the problem has changed, and use principles to turn chaos back into order.Owning equipment is easy. Developing judgment, adaptability, and competence takes work.Learning HighlightsWhy several armed citizens can create additional danger without coordinationHow Bill organized his church security team into defined areas of responsibilityWhy people still freeze during drills they know are comingThe threat of friendly fire during an active-violence incidentWhy church security requires more than firearms qualificationsThe importance of medical training and Stop the Bleed skillsWhy de-escalation and threat recognition may matter more than shooting abilityThe difference between purpose before performance and ignoring performanceWhy students become trapped inside specific techniquesHow principles help when an attack changesWhy defenders must learn to turn chaos into orderThe danger of overcorrecting toward either techniques or principlesWho This Is ForThis episode is for:Church security volunteersConcealed carriersFirearms instructorsMartial artists and self-defense studentsPastors and church leadersCitizen defendersParents and community protectorsAnyone who carries a firearm to protect othersChapters00:00 Introduction 01:08 Training a Church Security Team 02:39 How Many People Are Carrying? 03:20 Why Bill's Heart Sank 04:13 The Friendly-Fire Problem 05:09 Organizing Armed Volunteers 06:40 A Church Security Scenario 07:05 People Froze During a Planned Drill 07:27 Real Violence Has No Script 09:47 Christianity and Self-Defense 12:59 Good People Must Be Capable of Violence 15:27 The Legal Fight After the Physical Fight 18:24 Round or Flat, You Still Have Work Tomorrow 19:43 Control What You Can Control 19:47 Become Your Own First Responder 20:06 Medical Training and Stop the Bleed 20:36 De-escalation and Threat Recognition 21:29 Can Good People Fix Politics? 24:06 Building Stronger Local Communities 28:03 The Kingdom Framework 28:24 Purpose Before Performance 28:45 The Rusted Shovel and the Gold Shovel 30:13 Did the Technique Fulfill Its Purpose? 31:27 Principles Over Techniques 32:30 When a Gun-Defense Technique Fails 33:07 Move Offline 33:33 The Fight Changed 34:42 Training Different Reactions 36:03 The Two Ditches 36:43 Turning Chaos Into Order 37:50 Final Thoughts 38:01 Train More, Suck Less

Episode 4185 │ July 19, 2026 Washington said his men called themselves an army the way lumber calls itself a house. Unprepared for war with Britain — less one thing: their faith. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson and Rochelle Porto fill the gap between Lexington and Concord in April 1775 and the Declaration of Independence in July 1776 — the period nobody covers and everyone skips — tracing the Battle of Quebec in the December blizzard that killed Richard Montgomery, wounded Benedict Arnold before his betrayal, and left 400 American prisoners in British hands, alongside the prohibitory acts of December 1775 that blockaded every American merchant vessel at sea and led John Adams to declare that Britain had effectively declared independence from the colonies before the colonies declared it from Britain. The centerpiece of the episode is the Noble Train of Artillery — Henry Knox's 300-mile winter journey from Cambridge to Fort Ticonderoga and back, 59 pieces of heavy ordnance including a 5,000-pound brass cannon named Old Sable, moved by 60 men, teams of horses and oxen, across frozen rivers and mountain ridges through the same blizzard hitting Quebec, resupplied at every town by committees of safety who knew the convoy was coming and had fresh animals, food, and shelter waiting at each stop. The episode closes with Scott mapping the three pillars of colonial intelligence and organization — the Mechanics network, the committees of safety, and the Black Robe Regiment — against the current moment, arguing that the ragtag colonial force Washington inherited was the same structural problem America faces today, and that the difference between defeat and the crossing of the Delaware is almost always logistics, intelligence, and the willingness of ordinary people in ordinary towns to show up when the convoy passes through. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Why did the American invasion of Quebec fail — and what does the combination of a December blizzard, expiring enlistments, the death of Richard Montgomery by grapeshot, Benedict Arnold's leg wound, and 400 prisoners reveal about the structural limits of a colonial army organized by popularity rather than competence? What were the Prohibitory Acts of December 1775 — and why did John Adams call them Britain's own declaration of independence from the colonies, given that they placed a death sentence on every American merchant vessel at sea and made reconciliation structurally impossible? What made the Noble Train of Artillery succeed where the Quebec campaign failed — and what does Henry Knox's 300-mile winter journey, never losing a cannon, an animal, or a man, reveal about the role of the committees of safety as the logistical backbone that made every patriot operation in this period possible?

Welcome back to The Nick Hiter Show In this one, I dig into the mechanics of sales — how to qualify leads, cut to the chase, and build relationships that actually work for both sides. I talk about why accountability and preparation are non-negotiable, where to draw the line between helping and serving people, and how personal health and discipline feed straight into business performance. From there I get into decluttering your life and mind to make room for growth — auditing what's holding you back, using technology to your advantage, and the power of choice, planning, and small wins to build real momentum and find balance along the way.Key Takeaways:- Listen to understand the other person's needs.- Make sure leads are financially qualified before you proceed.- Cut to the chase in conversations to save everyone time.- Accountability is crucial — for yourself and for others.- Relationships should provide mutual value to succeed.- Balance helping others with your own boundaries.- Discipline in your health impacts your overall performance.- Preparedness is essential for effective communication.- Decluttering leads to mental clarity and focus.- Auditing your life helps you spot what's holding you back.- The power of choice is essential for personal freedom.- Planning is crucial for success and avoiding failure.- Letting go of control can empower others to lead.- Small wins build momentum, confidence, and balance.Follow and contact:Instagram: @nickhiternickhiter.comSubscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Spotify: https://spotify.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

Extinction Rebellion's co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand.EPISODE 35: A food crisis is coming this year and the government is unpreparedIn this episode Clare and Charlie discuss how a perfect storm is brewing that will result in a coming food crisis this year and what you can do to prepare. They cover how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is affecting fertilizer supplies and increasing fuel prices, while a developing El Niño weather event is going to exacerbate already difficult growing conditions. All this against a background of a fragile food system and an unprepared government means we need to organise to keep ourselves safe.This isn't the final word in terms of things to think and do. It's really important to think about the near term impacts, but it's a huge topic and there is much more to cover in future episodes.REFERENCESBritain ‘sleepwalking into a food crisis' without urgent action, experts say - The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/28/britain-sleepwalking-into-a-food-crisis-without-urgent-action-experts-saySteve Keen – Things Fall Apart - Brave New Europehttps://braveneweurope.com/steve-keen-things-fall-apartIndustry body warns fuel crisis could leave crops rotting in UK fields - The Guardianhttps://www.farminguk.com/news/industry-body-warns-fuel-crisis-could-leave-crops-rotting-in-uk-fields_68483.html 'Unpredictable and extreme': Asia braces for El Niño - The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/05/el-nino-asia-unpredictable-extreme-weather-climate-change-crisisPro-Social Hoarding - George Monbiothttps://www.monbiot.com/2025/03/20/pro-social-hoarding/A food revolution: campaigners in Liège want all the region's produce to be grown locally.

‘I think employers can play a very meaningful role in assisting and supporting [their] people' – John Anderson from Sanlam Corporate Investments.
In this episode, I chat with former Navy SEAL Slade Cutrer for a candid conversation about military service, trauma, spiritual warfare, and the search for healing. After spending fifteen years in one of the most demanding military communities in the world, Slade found himself facing challenges that combat training could not prepare him for. We discuss the realities of life in the SEAL Teams, PTSD, hyper-vigilance, sleep paralysis, and why he came to see many of his struggles as spiritual rather than merely psychological. Slade shares his experiences with New Age practices and psychedelic healing retreats, why he believes they ultimately failed to provide lasting answers, and the profound realization that led him to seek Christ and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Topics include: • Growing up and early religious influences • BUD/S training and life in the SEAL Teams • PTSD, hyper-vigilance, and life after combat • Sleep paralysis and spiritual warfare • Psychedelics, New Age healing, and false shortcuts • The challenges of transitioning from warrior to civilian life • Marriage, family, and finding purpose after military service • The role of silence • Finding peace, order, and healing in the Orthodox Church Follow Slade: https://www.instagram.com/slayderaider Sign the petition against windmill farms near Holy Trinity Monastery: https://www.change.org/p/wind-turbines-endanger-historic-monastery-hub-of-orthodox-christian-community Come to our 4th annual Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship Conference: https://southernorthodox.org/kentucky-conference/ Sponsor: Podsworth App: https://podsworth.com Code: BUCK50 for HALF off your first order!

Comedian, historian, and bestselling author Cate Osborn brings a special program derived from her live touring show, Wildly Unprepared. This evening features a curated portion of the performance, exploring the strange and surprising history of magic, spectacle, and belief, along with storytelling and conversation about curiosity, culture, and the stories we inherit. While this program draws from the larger theatrical show, it is designed as a standalone event created especially for Town Hall audiences. The show will be followed by a Q&A with Cate. About the Book Just shy of her thirtieth birthday, Cate Osborn, a teaching artist with two master's degrees, realized that things that had seemed routine before were falling through the cracks. An evaluation finally led to a diagnosis: ADHD. Erik Gude, who was diagnosed in his teens, had a slightly different path. While an ADHD diagnosis might explain the cause of some of his academic challenges, it would take years before he understood the other ways it affected other aspects of his life. When they connected as adults, it didn't take long before they realized other people might feel just as lost as they had. With roughly eight million adults living with ADHD and more people seeking and receiving diagnoses each year, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults is a witty, thoughtful, and practical guide to living with ADHD in adulthood, from two people who know what it's like. Featuring the most important foundational information about ADHD, it also explores issues that are rarely discussed, such as navigating sex and intimacy, the healthcare system, and home care. And unlike existing titles on the topic, it is intentionally structured to incorporate ADHD accessibility features by offering bite-sized pieces of knowledge in a format that caters to the unique needs of ADHD readers. Cate Osborn, widely known as Catieosaurus, is an award-winning creator, author, and international speaker whose work sits at the intersection of ADHD, decision-making, sex, relationships, and intimacy. With over 2 million followers and hundreds of millions of annual views across her platforms, Cate has built a global audience by blending humor, storytelling, research, and radical honesty about what it means to live in a brain that does not follow the rules. She is the host of Sorry I Missed This on the Understood network, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, GQ, Cosmopolitan, the Washington Post, and most notably, Ships of the Northern Fleet. Cate is also the creator of the Wildly Unprepared live tour, a one-of-a-kind experience that fuses comedy, history, magic, and audience interaction into a powerful exploration of resilience and chaos.

The current structural shift centers on the transfer of accountability for AI risk from vendors and regulators to managed service providers (MSPs). Vendors such as Anthropic and Microsoft are expanding their enterprise-focused AI channel programs and services tracks, while regulators pull back from enforcement, leaving MSPs as the de facto accountable parties for AI deployments. Reports and data indicate that vendor-driven channel expansion and regulatory laxity are converging to make service providers the liable layer in AI delivery. Anthropic is broadening its CLAUDE partner network from around 100 to several thousand partners, organized in tiers with outcome-based incentives and a dedicated services track targeting MSPs and system integrators. Microsoft, responding to low Copilot adoption rates (reported at 3.3% of eligible users), is allowing full removal of Copilot from systems. An IDC/Expereo survey of 800 companies found 70% are budgeting for AI, but investment is driven more by competitive anxiety than proven results. Additionally, a concentrated group—top 5% of users—accounts for the bulk of enterprise AI-related risk, according to a separate analysis. Supporting developments include the emergence of Lemhi, an early-stage platform aimed at enabling MSPs to package and sell AI transformation as a recurring service, and warnings from lawmakers about cuts to CISA that undermine federal cyber defense capacity. The episode also highlights a consistent theme: government agencies such as the White House and NIST are shifting toward voluntary measures and measurement frameworks, declining to create enforceable accountability standards for AI in production environments. For MSPs and IT leaders, these developments translate to increased contract and operational risk. Without renegotiated agreements specifying usage ceilings, approval workflows, and liability terms, providers may inherit unpredictable financial exposure and compliance gaps. The absence of effective governance requirements from both vendors and authorities places the operational burden on MSPs to define, monitor, and enforce safe use of AI, including recurring governance services such as data boundary enforcement and audit evidence. Failure to address these issues may result in MSPs acting as uninsured support for unmanaged AI deployments they cannot fully control or price. 00:00 MSP AI Play 04:24 AI's Accountability Gap 06:50 MSP Risk Transfer 09:49 Why Do We Care?

In this episode, we explore Judges chapter 4 and uncover what it means to lead when you don't feel ready. Through the lessons of Deborah, Barak, and God's calling, we discuss how leadership is not about being fully prepared—it's about being willing. Join us as we talk about faith, partnership, purpose, and why God often uses unlikely people to accomplish extraordinary things. If you've ever doubted yourself or questioned your ability to lead, this episode is for you.
What do you do when someone shares something heavy… and you care deeply, but don't feel equipped to respond? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mark Mayfield (or as he prefers, “just Mark”) to talk about the growing need for mental health awareness in the church, and the very real tension many leaders feel between wanting to help and not knowing how. Mark brings a unique perspective, having spent years in both ministry and clinical counseling. Together, we explore his personal story, what he's seeing in churches today, and why so many leaders feel stuck in that middle space of “I know this matters… but what do I actually do?” This conversation is honest, practical, and hopeful. You'll walk away reminded that you don't need to have all the answers to care well, and with a clearer sense of what your next step could be. Quotes “I don't believe church is about Sunday mornings. It's a component—but it's not the end-all, be-all. We have to think beyond Sunday mornings. We have to think about community and connection.” — Dr. Mark Mayfield “I think the hesitation is legit. It's just we have to get them past paralysis.” — Dr. Mark Mayfield “People just want to have language to their struggles. That's okay. They want to be seen.” — Dr. Mark Mayfield “The secret to good counseling is the therapeutic relationship… just creating space for people to be seen and to be heard.” — Dr. Mark Mayfield “You don't need to be a counselor to care well—but you do need to know your role.” — Dr. Mark Mayfield Resources

Half of all U.S. households approaching retirement are at risk of falling short of their current standard of living.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon sit with the topic that shows up in the conference room more than any other these days: retirement anxiety — and why so many Americans feel unprepared.What you'll learn:The five fears inside retirement anxiety — and which one most plans don't addressWhy retirement is structurally more anxious today than a generation agoThe Honeymoon, the Shock, and the Reframe — the three phases of every retirementWhy men, executives, military, and first responders are hit hardest by the identity lossThe new 100% income rule (the old 60–70% rule of thumb is dead)The six-part income plan that actually reduces anxietySequence-of-returns risk — and why the first five years of retirement determine everythingSocial Security in 2026: 77% benefit, $1.5T bipartisan proposal, what it means for youWhy phased / consulting retirement is the underrated soft landingThe emotional plan nobody writes down — hobbies, friendships, purpose, marriagePlus Money In The News:Can the stock market save Social Security?

A recent Allianz survey found that 61% of Americans fear running out of money in retirement more than they fear death itself. The shift reflects structural changes: pensions have largely disappeared, 401(k)s placed the risk of retirement success on individuals, life expectancy has stretched, inflation has accelerated, healthcare costs are rising, and Social Security is on track for a benefit cut. The fear is rational — and the planning response is to build a multi-source income plan rather than to hope a portfolio alone is enough.

1. Renewed Strategic Threat from Cuba Despite the Cold War being considered over, Cuba is again being viewed as a potential military staging ground for U.S. adversaries. The concern is not nuclear missiles like in 1962, but modern drone systems. 2. Drone Warfare Changes Everything Drones are: Cheap, mobile, and hard to detect Capable of low-altitude flight (avoiding radar) Effective in large swarm attacks Examples cited: Russia using Iranian drones in Ukraine Drones attacking infrastructure like power grids 3. Geographic Danger Cuba is only ~90 miles from Florida, making it: Extremely close for drone operations A potential launch platform against U.S. cities, ports, and infrastructure 4. Growing Alliance Against the U.S. Increasing military and intelligence cooperation between Cuba, Russia, and Iran Activities include: Naval visits Political meetings Agreements on military and intelligence coordination Iran also expanding influence across Latin America 5. “Gray Zone Warfare” Strategy Adversaries may avoid direct war and instead use: Drone attacks Cyber warfare Infrastructure sabotage Disinformation Goal: Disrupt the U.S. without triggering full-scale conflict 6. Potential Attack Scenarios Drone swarms launched from Cuba could target: Military bases Airports Power grids Ports and fuel systems Even small attacks could cause: Economic disruption Public panic 7. U.S. Vulnerabilities Current weaknesses include: Limited counter-drone defenses Unprepared local law enforcement Vulnerable infrastructure Borders are a possible entry point for equipment or operatives Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

New data shows that nearly 70% of workers feel unprepared for today's workforce, raising bigger questions about how we define job readiness. In this episode, Ryan Alford sits down with Ryan Lufkin of Instructure to unpack what's actually broken in education and how AI is accelerating the gap between learning and real-world skills. They explore why AI isn't replacing expertise but instead demands stronger critical thinking, communication, and human judgment. The conversation also challenges whether schools are teaching the wrong things—or simply teaching them the wrong way. From the rise of lifelong learning to the debate between skills and degrees, this episode highlights what both employers and educators need to rethink to prepare the next generation. What We Covered 70% of workers feel unprepared – What's driving the growing skills gap in today's workforce AI in education and work – Why AI requires more expertise, not less Skills vs degrees – Are traditional degrees still the best signal for employers?

He argues the US and allies are failing to learn battlefield lessons from Ukraine about scalable drone defense, cost asymmetry, and homeland vulnerability to container-launched drone attacks and cyber disruption, while criticizing leadership deficits, entrenched defense procurement incentives, and what he describes as a White House unwilling to hear hard truths about scenarios like Strait of Hormuz closure. The conversation contrasts Russia's brutality with Ukrainian innovation, including gamified targeting incentives, and warns that the West may only adapt after a major attack. ----------CHAPTERS:00:58 Drone Hunters of Kherson04:03 Human Safari Terror06:31 Hormuz Unpreparedness08:49 Europe Leadership Gap11:50 Lessons From Ukraine14:34 Homeland Drone Threat19:15 Hybrid War and Cyber22:30 Coal and Uranium Wildcard28:00 Allies Push Back32:35 Ukraine Innovation Edge37:30 Military Industrial Drag39:45 Wake Up Call Closing----------THE 'FAITH UNDER SIEGE' TEAM ARE KIND SUPPORTERS OF SILICON CURTAIN: WEBSITE: https://www.faithundersiege.com/TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftGtdC-aO3kFILM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E4gJWdsyAACHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@UCx-2kTPvk4Z505gS2ZEch-A REVIEW: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35428172/----------

When markets swing, headlines turn dramatic. Wars escalate. Oil spikes. The VIX jumps. And suddenly everyone wants to know the same thing: What should I do right now? But that question reveals the real problem. In this episode of the Cash Flow Academy podcast, Andy Tanner, Noah Davidson, and Corey Halliday explain why volatility itself isn't dangerous. What's dangerous is arriving unprepared. Most investors only pay attention when markets become emotional. By then, they're reacting instead of positioning. They're asking for predictions instead of building a plan. Experienced investors approach it differently. They prepare long before the headlines arrive. They own assets designed to perform through cycles. They understand how volatility affects option premiums, insurance pricing, and cash flow opportunities. And when markets move, they already know how to respond. The conversation breaks down how volatility creates opportunities across multiple outcomes — not just one prediction about where prices will go. From oil and gold to defensive stocks and options strategies, the discussion shows how preparation turns uncertainty into an advantage. This isn't about guessing the future. It's about building the knowledge and positioning that allows you to benefit when markets become unpredictable — instead of being surprised by them.

Happy Spring! You know what this means? Summer is coming… and if you're a busy mom, you might already feel it creeping up on you. The school year is on its final lap, the kids are ready to sleep in, and suddenly your normal routines are about to disappear. The structured school days, the predictable schedules, the quiet work hours while the kids are in class — all of that shifts pretty quickly once summer begins. And while summer can be such a fun and meaningful season with a rhythm all its own, it can also feel a little chaotic if we don't plan ahead. Questions start popping up like: What are the kids going to do all day? How am I going to get my work done? Should we sign up for camps? When should we plan vacations? And how do we make summer fun without feeling completely exhausted by the end of it? If you've ever hit the last week of school and realized summer is now here and you still need to actually get work done then today's episode is for you. We are going to walk through 10 Things you can do now to set your family up for a smoother, more enjoyable summer. We'll talk about planning vacations and camps, creating simple rhythms for days at home, setting expectations with your kids, and a few practical strategies that can save you time and stress once summer is in full swing. My hope is that a little planning now will help you enjoy the season more later — with more flexibility, more fun, and a lot less last-minute scrambling. Alright friend, let's dive in.

If you want managing to be easier, learn to hire better. We've been saying it for two decades now. We normally put out positive guidance, about what to DO. In this series of casts, though, we address common misconceptions and mistakes most managers make when hiring. This guidance is about lack of preparation, which is an epidemic among managers. You can't be good at hiring if you're not good at preparation.
