Some of us are old enough to remember when the United States Senate had a vaunted reputation as the world's greatest deliberative body. Weighty issues would be debated by senators with the security of six-year terms, resistant to the political winds of the moment, and grand compromises could be achieved. Those days, of course, are gone — put on display most tellingly Thursday when a majority of 51 votes still wasn't enough to stop Republicans' plans to make Americans pay exhaustingly higher health insurance premiums, just to make a political point.

Following the emergence of COVID-19, "follow the science" became a stark ideological divide that pitted one American against another. This partisan framing weaponized the scientific method instead of letting it solve a critical public-health crisis. Is it time to abandon this unhelpful slogan and rethink our broken understanding of science?
Why would you want to disconnect from your joy, when trying to restore your sense of joy?You can't go on a T-break for pleasure. Instead, focus on the modifying the way you get your pleasure, instead of eliminating the pleasure itself. Dopamine is just one neurotransmitter responsible for our sense of pleasure + joy. We can't and shouldn't want to detox our dopamine levels. Dopamine is essential to motivating us to do everything from moving our bodies, to sleeping properly. This is why people with dopamine issues, depression, ADHD, etc. often struggle with physical and executive functioning. The problem isn't the dopamine, it's typically the source.

For today's news update, let's fact-check (and frankly, roast) Pierre Poilievre's recent video showcasing an extraordinary example of useless and wasteful Conservative political grandstanding. Honestly, I loathe to do this, but it's an important PSA in Canadian politics news today. We'll review one of Poilievre's latest anti-Carney, anti-Liberal, ‘stuck in the political past' speeches in the House of Commons in order to breakdown each manipulative half-fact and outright lie, minute-by-minute.

From motivational speaker myths to five-figure gigs: Why public speaking isn't about motivation anymore - and the brutal truth about knowledge commodification, listening as power, and the voice registers that command presidential authority. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, a transformative conversation dismantles the dangerous delusion keeping African entrepreneurs trapped in motivational speaking fantasies while the real money flows to subject matter experts who solve specific problems. This isn't inspirational talk from conference stages - it's a systematic breakdown of why the public speaking industry pays thousands per presentation to business technicians, innovation consultants, and futurists who deliver structured knowledge, why Tony Robbins can charge 2,200 euros and fill 9,000-seat arenas while generic motivational speakers struggle to fill rooms, and why the person who becomes the leading voice on protecting kids online will make more money than a thousand "you are amazing" speakers combined. Critical revelations include: • Why public speaking pays based on what you're speaking about - not how eloquently you speak • The knowledge asymmetry principle: when nobody knows what to do with new platforms, the person who contextualizes and teaches makes money • How to elevate above industry noise: when everyone's doing podcasts, pivot toward community building and premium content • The Blue Ocean Strategy reality: find spaces where competition is irrelevant instead of fighting in crowded markets • Why results command price - if you built a podcast from scratch to 100K subscribers, people will pay $1,000 for your masterclass • The Lamborghini principle: when your results speak, you don't need advertising - demand finds you • How mentorship is cheaper than experimentation: the money you pay an expert is far less than the money you lose trying to figure it out yourself • The listening revolution: the greatest skill in public speaking that nobody teaches is the skill of listening • Why 46 million people want to be listened to but only 4.6 million want to learn how to listen - people 10x want to be heard more than they want to hear • The four voice registers every speaker must master: whistle register (Mariah Carey), falsetto (chipmunks), head register (decisions), chest register (trust and confidence) • Why politicians with deeper voices get more votes - chest register voice exhausts trust, confidence, and authority • The daily discipline: two hours of practice in front of the mirror, two vocabulary pickups daily, Google alerts for every major topic, 30 articles consumed before bed • Why the education system focuses on reading and writing but graduates hundreds of thousands who can't speak or listen - the four fundamental pillars are read, write, speak, listen • The application crisis: people consume information over and over again but there's no transformation because there's no implementation • The execution velocity effect: when you work with people who execute fast, it ignites something in you - speed becomes contagious The conversation reaches its uncomfortable peak with a truth that destroys generic public speaking dreams: you can be eloquent, great, amazing - but has anyone flown you to 15 countries to speak? Are you a subject matter expert on anything? Does your name come up in conversations when people need knowledge distilled? Those are the things that separate paid professionals from unpaid talkers. The person who teaches parents how to protect kids online and then sells them the software, the Netflix plugins, the 24-hour monitoring systems - that person makes money. The person who says "you are amazing" to a room full of people who already know they're amazing gets polite applause and goes home broke. For the African entrepreneur, content creator, and aspiring public speaker seeking to build a legitimate speaking career that commands five-figure fees instead of begging for conference slots, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: become a subject matter expert on something specific that people desperately need to understand. Master the four voice registers. Practice two hours daily in front of the mirror. Consume 30 articles nightly. Set Google alerts for your domain. Learn to listen - it's the greatest public speaking skill nobody teaches. Document your results. Sell your knowledge. And remember - the money you charge for mentorship is cheaper than the money people lose experimenting alone. That's why people pay $1,000 to learn from someone who built a podcast to 100K subscribers in a country where people complain about data. Results speak. Results command price. The only question is whether you have results worth paying for.

In Canadian politics news today, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre shamelessly wastes Parliament's time playing petty politics (again), pushing his own personal political agenda by putting forth a completely useless, irrelevant motion designed solely to embarrass Canada's Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney. The real question is, could Poilievre be anymore arrogant while wasting Canadian taxpayers' time and money? Canadians see through it, and I wouldn't be surprised if the see-through political plan backfires with members of Poilievre's own party deciding to turn on him instead (again).Tune into Episode 297 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times!This episode was recorded on December 8, 2025.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work!

Who left a whole box of corn flakes In a locker At the Equinox On Wall Street? I told you go to the one at The Rock. I told you, I'm not going on that block, like at all. {Enter The Multiverse} That's just my Karma, Ms. Nancy; I did a whole lot than just Thought about it More edits, More recognition that I—l couldn't stand it; The planet just seems to get smaller and smaller With less and less plants in it; I have your pants on, But shoes didn't fit I wrote a whole book and resenting But still not the movies, I meant it. Damn. She's just so much better than I am Head in a frying pan on high beforehand, And however damaged, It felt bad I know what I did I felt that Camera Obscura, for sure, you know But disconnect, Swallow badders, wha— t?! Get my peanut butter up; Why! I'm a circus monkey; Damn. I got karma faster Than I should have known I lost episodes And threw away the whole entire show I went running long And then I threw up on the subway I only like the one Sublime album (The one with wrong way.) You know? Cuh' I went the wrong way I fucked up on all my dollars I got karma back hard, yah Got a poem or prose or song on ol' Ms. Molly, too, (or two) I fall in love inside the tube, Truth is, though Teletubbies and teleportation Ain't so far off from where I come from Problem is, Opporsite world, I'm the story of the whole show; For sure dawg. —a situational Thought process. When the crack finally kicks in, Astounding the loss of my confidence I've gotten lost in a toxic land I got syndrome “talk to much” Not on the spectrum, nor diagnosable X's and O's on the tic tac toe board, Just an underhanded “I told you so” All the rockstars want —Subtle thoughts of suicide as the train approaches? Nah, Models and the other types of girls That never work at all, They just born at it. I got bored with it, But not the fourth one, Cross my first amendment, On my heart like catholic More like Bart Simpsons, Like art magic Cause I won't watch that show But love Matt Groening— Maybe I'm the type that just Love hating But hate loving with No way to I don't hate you; Yeah you're right, I'm off Take two. ((Good Luck Riding The J Home.)) Not a gym run, a different kind of cause, I guess I got so many plausible options, I guess I should call on one of them, Toss a number up, struck the dog on mathematics I can't let my lantern out of gas, We're not friends, are we? What a fiend! Are you offended? I just want to see my dreams relayed to me— Is that too much to ask? So I'm the asshole. What did I pack a bag for?! Picnic baskets. What did I leave this curse for? Nothing, Thanks for asking, Nance. I put a pilot on the presence of a whole color— phenomenon. I swallowed all my pride and presence just for an automaton. This automation algorithm— is it? Doesn't make a difference. I spilled blood inside my kitchen, Put deposits on a flicker, Tricked the treasure at a phantom, Phantom I want more but swallowed all my high pulp orange juice on knowledge of the only one; There's only God, There's only us— There's only cause+ effect, 6 more albums, note books and a couple novels that came out of that one. Squeeze em hard, ya'll. Don't let me love God. Don't let me talk back, I'm not about a rack. Tantrum, yes. Talk to my God. Please. Talk to me God. Now. Talk to my family one time. Now. Talk out me sideways— Now. Bring me a rebel. Now. I have a headache. Now. I got regrets son. Now I got a dead son, a dead daughter a ghost cat and George Jettson, Michael Jackson and George Zimmerman, all of my tabs open: I take a tab hoping I fall asleep on the cold ocean, Calm before storm comes Out on a surfboard Look at the full moon— Nobody can hear you so SCREAM. Now. For crying out loud, Take the knife out, For a second or thought, I'm a wife now; What back handed thought or a back and on blacklist— Your back room was only your conscious— Now I'm looking at my left side, Also catatonic, Not aboard the problem like you wanted, What an order form for border patrol, You want tall glasses of hard fortune, Work hard for it, or rosemary pork on sourdough. I'm in love with you, but in poverty— There the devil is. But oh, aren't we all familiar? Suit and tie hangs to the tide, I tie the knot with rope from which I die, And quickly crafting coffins, want to walk around before I go off, Diving board or world one antenna? Not to mention it, redirect the attention and energy into something other than consumptive— Everything I do and everywhere I go, I clutch this stone Or put inside my pockets knowing if I let it go Or it falls out and to the ground Not only will I float up, But the world will open And swallow us all whole ((Down.)) I live with the knowledge of criminal visions and masterpiece compilations, but as of today I owe a bank my very and entire existence It is what it claims to be, these days ring true Nothing these days sounds like music but you. I put that book back on the shelf; Rewound the tape before I put it in the case I knew it would be late because, well That's the way it always is That's the way I always am I'm sorry mom. That's the way it always is— They told me I don't need no makeup on, However this may have only been true when I was ten to twenty two, Or twenty two, Or two whole years ago before the motorcycles stole my story. When I put the sun up in the sky, I suppose, is when I started this [that's called a God Complex] It's all behind us now, or rather All up front And out in the open In twelve point font As if I would ever cop to it I took the wrong way to Wall Street l Believe me l, i think of the tree at the rock, Long before this all was ever thought of, And I held her seed in the heart of my palm God said go the other way, I said “Okay” I want to see how much money I make; I wear makeup, I got nothing So much for a body I got stuck with words and good talking, And long vocabulary instead of the coast and a longboard So what's the cost for a whole table turn? So what's the cost for a “her—perfect.” Huh? What is the cost for some popcorn in Lorne's office? What is the cost just to cover the love boat theme song— Don't get me wrong I have original music I'm just hard getting to it; The motors are running The mirror: my mind is a murderer, murderer Engine's are purring are hurting her, hurting But I been wanting some corn on the cob To talk to my mom To call some place home To care for my son To wake up on Sunday past noon like “That was a good show.” And the next sold out . real talk, I got real problems Someone knows I'm on top of my thoughts at the rock, Choking back cocaine All the world under me, Mad at the world though For not looking up to me Huh I call this suffering Cause I already been been hungry, And homeless So I know this Pit-of-your stomach And tied to a brick at the bottom of the ocean feeling, that really Sits somewhere between “Hopeless” And “not good” But hey— If you were to say “how's your day” I answer “I'm great!” Like a positive, programmed robot or something, my mantras lately, replaced however with repetitive honest pleas of “Please help me.” Seems like— the only thing meaningful is saying this inside my Google documents; However, Seems like, It isn't worth the breathing, really Oddly, I forget to— Then I get this special feeling, Almost sentimental, inside my head I don't need medicine as much as I just need a friend besides my cat —thoughts of hammers in my brain— If I could tell you what the level of the pain is? Mercy. There doesn't seem to be a number Merry Christmas, Let's get displaced; Case is dismissed— Let's get shitfaced Wash the dishes, Pick the peloton, Pick imaginary friends And watch the President be hilarious, Until it effects us negative and in the read, When peanut butter bread and jelly All you ever get for breakfast For extended periods of time. Hah. Bloodshed? Wrong. Blood hound? Bad. Segmented thoughts on a toothache? Too late. I hate to tell you what the truth is, Cause you'd hate it. Useless. Jew fits; I just saved two cents on toothpaste And you got two new fits to wear for your friends approval and some cool picks But I can't do this anymore I want to choose live; Inside my death is The whole of the city, Electric and Thomas Edison And impressive Mister Business— Rockerfeller read about it; Somebody gotta learn and teach to squeeze the money out the people! Something simple says, “Just stop it.” Choke a chicken over breakfast, Thoughts of Belfast, real fast train to somewhere in LA, I think Today will be the day That I give bacon To charity, No care left, to give a gift So thankful, For being blessed with time to waste To write this piece of shit I guess I died I guess in family guy? I didn't like it, yet I think sometime's in stewie's cadence— …like, a British baby? And a talking dog? And a dumb ass dad? And a bunch of songs? And some salad dressing, To go with that master habit of getting Grams and Grammies; But in the long run, after a long talk on the roof with the opposite of God, I finally call a conference with all the lawyers of the court— But not to work at all, Only order sandwhiches Obsession has its advantages and platinum records, If you tap into it directly. Forget it. I'm out of magic. Or out of patience— out of time for petitions, But which one is it? Which dimension actually gets me picture perfect Instead of nervous in the eye of the beholders? Learn your lesson well; There's got to, got to be a reason why The wrong way is the right. There's got to be a reason why— My day becomes the night. There's got to be a reason for the words upon the paper, But I've got to figure out my rhythm later; I gone up instead of downtown, Turn the clock before the sunrise, I just want to find the love and the peace in it agai. Gotta love a synchronicity; I get stuck inside bronze statues Door way syndrome And I shutter just to never remember him But here the picture is, a perfect person Headless and befriended him, the lover The line inside my mind is crossed I'll suffer till I turn to dust on this one. My thoughts the first time I saw him? I hate him, Cause he'll never love me. What a troubled thought for a little girl on a lot of drugs and a weight problem. One more, I don't remember where I'm going Day to, I have to remember to forget you Take three, I'm happy that they pay me to tape these things Because I'm maybe going crazy; From the outside though, you wouldn't know it Low and behold, this is my show afterall And covered in gold like the whole of the moon I can play to the tune of two men, to two million don't let it torment you, You looks twisted Get out of your head, and turn off your television Go on a walk, Get run over by a bus or motorcycles Turn around and talk to God and your disciples — cause they all watch. Oh, what's wrong now? That's a long run, And now another pilot that I'm proud of— Stop looking at the ground— It hurts. Today, I learned my lesson, It was not a new apartment— It's a prison. I gotta say I kinda gotta love to wonder where the fuck I'm at besides “Manhattan”. The cat needs water, My heart needs captions. New York needs Jesus Hope he don't see this (Even if he did he probably wouldn't believe it, Or Even if he did He's having trouble learning English, And, Even if he did he had he's been repealing all his promises to return to us; We worship dollars A cock-shaped structures in New York— TIME TRAVELER Its called The Rock. SUPER NEW YORKER What. TIME TRAVELER I'm looking for The Rock. SUPER NEW YORKER What's that. TIME TRAVEL It's called “Rockefeller Plaza.” SUPER NEW YORKER What's that. TIME TRAVELER It's a building? I guess? SUPER NEW YORKER It's not. TIME TRAVELER It is. It's— SUPER NEW YORKER It's not. TIME TRAVELER But— *fucks off immidiately without any closure whatsoever.* TIME TRAVELER Huh. the TIME TRAVELER pulls up a picture on their device; the building itself seems to have disappeared from the photo; (Like Marty McFlyim back to the future) Contd Must be the wrong dimension… But then JOHN D. ROCKERFELLER Is MURDERED at the height of STANDARD OIL. Oh no! So that's what happened… Yeah? He was a bastard. Well! Damn. {Enter athe Multiverse} So you're everywhere all the time, And I got nothing left to run And we already talked the talk And we're already back to one Let the waves blow over, Cravings, tasting haze of periwinkle, heaven waking Putting every penny on the promise that you got me But you never save me, Really, Jesus? Racist! I got a lot of stakes in the game And all these snakes keep weighing in! I got these eight days left inside my head, And I'm a murderer Remember to admit his wrong you are Next time the caw will crow. I crevice drawing under rock Inside the undertoe, My surfboard heading home for shore, My body going under. Oh Conan, what have you done. I'm not sure yet. So? Go get him, you old hoot. I just want to watch a little longer! *feathers ruffled* What! It is comical So i'm stuck inside the equinox on Wall Street catatonic, Adding up the dollar signs and losses, Well now, Got my hosts and calling cards, And struck with dirty dozens Doesn't anybody understand? [no. Nobody does.] Certainly, you know, nobody does this. Certainly, I'm folding all the shirts for all the husbands Certainly my love was lost, but for sure I didn't want it. For sure, I dropped a couple rocks I had inside my pocket . Well done, folks. Guess what? Those aren't crocodile tears I'm crying. I'm dehydrated but they're called psychic cause Nobody knows where they come from; Some would form the thought that you got water trapped inside your soul It only happens when the sun sheds hard tears Here, solar panels Animals and tragic circumstances, Fucking Asholes Never shine your diamond on the twilight, Shooting stars; Never shoot at birds from cars; Remember, They are flying. I swallowed you whole, I swallowed you whole, I swallowed you, done. I swallowed you whole, I swallows you whole, I swallowed you down some. I swallowed you whole, I swallowed you whole, I swallowed you up; I swallowed you whole I swallowed you whole, You know what the cost is Just a heads up, If you take a picture of a gamgstalkers face, They run away. The crime being committed is a non-contact form of combat, a scientifically proven biological weapon. When you begin to document this meticulously, a pattern of coordination begins to become established. It's no longer some sort of phenomenon, that can be written off as a symptom of a broken mind; The more evidence you gather, It becomes a verifiable crime. Remember that the point of it is to control you, to enslave your autonomy— to program you to believe something is wrong, when clearly, The signs of an awakened mind can pick out patterns in the construct of human social behavior that is not ours; it is a deficit in conciousness, a weakness, caused by the moral degradation of our souls in the societal world— A loss of God. And also remember, Humans have a history to seek and destroy which it does not understand, And cannot control— However, also, God comes in all forms. You must know when all is all. Okay, shh— Don't lock the door, now You got a pardon, You better run. I am an a-list celebrity; I am an “amen, sister— I hear that!” I am a medicine woman, A centrifugal figure, A ritual character, Skilled at charicature— A big Kimmel fan, A rick and a Morty, A woman a man, A puppet, the master, A cat in a hatbox, A blasphemous coffin; A wart on a warflower. Hm. Now who could possibly take that out of context? Soft surf rock at the equinox on Wall Street. I love all four stories, I rode all four horses, I put all four corners of the earth onto a surface Then I rolled it up Huh… Somebody does that. Leets go, hard core But don't forget the hot sauce Don't forget the — Smattercat?! SMATTERCAT?! SMAAAAAATERCAAAAAAAAAT! The Adventures of Atticus Catticus. Man, this is fucked up. I can't disagree with you. I can't get you out of my head (I want head) Can't get you out of my mind I find that You must want me dead Tan lines l You must want me off my meds! You want in me in bed at 9 sharp You know what!? You remind me of Harper. Now let's talk shop, Calm, little brother I went with the other oath— Don't you belong to God? Who's on the phone? Donald Trump. Tell him “no.” No to what? Just tell him “no.” Then he'll get here faster. So what do you got in your supplements? Simple psychology; Have a red album. Nah that. I got gold gold balls on all of my prostitutes Pulled apart orgasms, Never been touched, sire. Never have I took forgranted this passion( Never have —that flex— Theatrical pangentry. Never went Ham sandwhich Ham sandwhich Ham sandwhich GODDAMMIT. I thought you grant wishes. — also in charge of summoning. Part time. Well what are you mad about?! At least you got a job! I'm so sick of this kid, He just summons “Ham sandwhich” What's wrong with that? I gave him “ham sandwhich”, Alright?! All kinds, And you know what?

But sir… THINK OF IT LIKE KILLING BABY HITLER. You're right. TAKE THE SHOOOOOT. MEANWHILE… In the MULTIDIMENTIONAL SPACETIME SURVEILANCE FACILITY Oh good. What's that. Someone one assasinated me. That's good. I'll say. Wouldn't want you to run for president. Someone still would have had to elected me. Oh, you mean like in all these parallels over here. *shrugs* They'll collapse eventually. They haven't yet. I just got assasinated. Wait for it. I've been waiting. I don't get why you hate me so much. I'm indifferent, really, just waiting for something exciting. I just got assasinated. And I just got a ten cent raise. From what I can tell, doesn't make much of a differences. It's like, limited assimilation in this dimension; Did I correct you— Lessons, I'm not making any promises. Look out little brother! I set them on you. Got to put the pudding in your pot— And don't forget to floss. What's corrextions? Look, I'm anatomically correct— Shut up, Ken. I don't click on videos or images Because I love him It's just a crush, A pair of wooden crutches A horcrux And a fox A crucifix And Sunday Brunches. It's just a bunch of pictures, Edits, autographs, Extended plays It's just an infinite inside my head— It's been a couple days. A couple miles down And sure to go, You're all for it— Soon you got to know Whatever you done Has come for your— Stop the truck for misuse of four muses And autotune to ruin it— Your mascot is a narwhal But you're rooting for the Bruins. What is even a Bruin? A bunch of racist frat boys and hot bitches in sororities and covens? Bet that Okay, Like, I fall in love But just to write a bit I pour my heart out in a song And for the moment I could make forget i'm ugly Even if for the duration of the half time; Half a pack at halftime, Half a pack at bedtime 20 cigarettes on your 2020 vision. Three beers, Then three beers Thirty three years and he still won't love me Thirty three years and I'm still no woman. He show first, So I shot back I forgot rock doves Served a purpose Postage For lost albums on the surface Surfboards For hot rod bod host, I offered up Conan, Now pick that hard eye Banjo up Water dance Pick that apple, Off the tree With not a scratch Hands tied behind your back; Baggage claim, River dance Pick it up without a fork You whispered us a state of trance For God's socks, If I fly coach, Low ball Lost a fortune Don't call me ‘bud' I think about your walk all day; Like, Three or four times, maybe Not no noodle soup, you wonder But you're asking for a Ballroom. Haggard. God did far too good a job on you; As the car jumped over the moon. I complete your meat puppet, But recently went vegan Line them up and then A heart attack, A hot bath, And a hammock. You got your offer, But I want it back, I want my roses. Golden proses so rit and rattle. I rot in hell for all I've done, then scramble; Damn. I just can't get you off my head without ramble You're probably on a tour bus; She's pulling out all the stop— But you're my monster, just know that Although I'm on top of her turf. So much for Service Monday. So much for making money on a conduit, a conduct. So much for love as. He aim for the head; I aim for the neck; He aim for the heart, I duck, I fall in her eyes, High water— No more cam tide Sunsets. What, I get you really wanted oceans, So you got them. Godsense. Pull, Conan Pull— Haul in! All in on your cards, But take the occult off them; Offering? Totem pole. More than one? I love to hope. Fix your face. Pull the plug— I'm off till Sunday, Off till Sunday. Ten days to Tuesday, You want no more Ten days to Sunday And ten more before that; Ten tongues before dawn, And other I slaughter And slaught cross the sloth, I wither, Your honor. Ten tales too soon, Ten wide my diamonds; Ten eyes in your Isis, My mind, Orion. Ten lost in the Outback; Ten lost on your mass, tongue Two whipped at the alter— I called her about that. So to the effect you check your fax and press the send, I'm steady living, never coming back, Or cap the president— Never living, Never listing residence on Madison You're stuck inside my half-life That I'm mad besides the medicine. You're stuck inside my past, Like all the knives inside my back, And still I fondly think upon a laugh, As ice cream sundaes, Half a sandwich Appetite for having all you are inside my master work of art, The world, your face I cut from clay inside my hands And I still have you in my swollen arteries, and trees the veins, The wicked summers and the bitter winters came, But did not cross paths, So to not bear ties, and to not plug Holes in the hull of the whole ship I think I sunk overtime instead of rather All at once, You know, It doesn't suffix What it takes to turn it back from “Love him” Into nothing. 20 hours passed and 20 cigarettes and ivory towers, But forgive the lives inside of Mormon wives and ice cold showers— Scatterbrained but highly trained in “Never Happened.” “Didn't matter.” So you roll it up into a movie script and call them actors. Why'd you flash me, dancer, Don't you know how bad I want that? Out inside your dozens, for my cinnamon coated combat Nail box fires Had you ordered Your desires Flow the golden drifter Fear of rivers never frozen. Don't you know the sun draws close But the heart grows cold, But the want goes harder? Don't you know the doors get shut, And the Kings get cut, And the wind blows wilder? Don't you know the stars just fall from the sky (They all fall from the sky, They fell from the sky) Don't you know We're all gonna die Put a trial to the wand, Fore you take her heart out Ten times.
In this week's episode of Inspiration Nation, Lee and Ryan—sans Jose—dive into a profound quote from Dwight D. Eisenhower: “In preparing for battle, I've always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” The duo unpacks the layered wisdom behind this military insight, translating it into everyday life and personal development. Whether you're tackling work challenges, personal goals, or navigating unexpected twists, they emphasize that while rigid plans often falter, the mental discipline and adaptability gained through planning are vital tools for resilience and growth.Ryan reflects on the value of failure as a teacher, while Lee highlights the importance of a “problem-solving mindset” and compares planning to rehearsing set plays in football—never predictable, but always preparing you for action. They wrap up with a reminder that success isn't always in the plan itself, but in your readiness to adapt and grow from each attempt. Dive in for insightful banter, powerful takeaways, and a dose of inspiration to fuel your week!

The hosts dive into paintball basics for beginners, breaking down the sport into approachable steps. They explain the essential gear (marker/gun, hopper, tank, protective mask) and highlight what newcomers often overlook—like the importance of a well-fitting mask and reliable loader system.Next, they cover the fundamental rules and game formats: capture the flag, elimination, scenario play. They emphasize safety protocols (never removing your mask on the field, always chronograph your marker to legal FPS, clear communication). They also stress field etiquette—don't move thrown bunkers, call your hits honestly, and respect referees.They then shift into strategy tips: how to pick your playing style (aggressive front-player vs. back-field support), coordinate with teammates, and use the available bunkers/cover effectively. A good tip: keep your body low, pop out for shots, and always move quickly between cover to avoid being an easy target.The hosts share some common rookie mistakes—shooting wildly rather than taking aimed bursts, failing to reload/have backup paint, focusing too much on your own play instead of good team positioning. They recommend new players practice first in low-pressure games, watch experienced players, and ask for feedback.Finally, they talk about choosing your first marker: set budget, reliability, ease of maintenance, and the local field's rental gear—sometimes starting with rentals is a smart move until you know you're invested. They wrap up by encouraging listeners to get out on the field, learn by doing, and enjoy the camaraderie and fun of paintball rather than stressing perfect play.
We knew the rates cap was coming, but no one expected the government to drag it out this long. On today's episode, we dive into the plan to finally rein in council rate hikes… in 2029. That's six years after National took office. People need relief right now, not in the next political lifetime. Duncan reckons it's a great policy torpedoed by hopeless timing, and Jordan Williams from the Taxpayers' Union joins us to break down why councils are already licking their chops. With spending up, payrolls swelling, and some councils proposing record increases, the delay effectively gives them three years to pump rates even higher. We also get into the government's wider economic credibility, the slow-walked reforms, Nicola Willis' spending story, and whether this National-led government is sleepwalking toward becoming a one-term wonder. Find out why Duncan says this delay is nothing short of a masterclass in political uselessness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are your vitamins actually working? Discover five critical red flags that could mean your multivitamin quality is low, poorly absorbed, or causing more harm than good. From synthetic ingredients to dangerous fillers, learn how to choose supplements that truly support your health—not drain your wallet. This episode reveals what to look for on labels and why bioavailability matters more than you think. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Bioavailability Matters Most – Not all vitamin forms are created equal. Cyanocobalamin (cheap B12) can trigger inflammation and anxiety, while methylcobalamin is properly absorbed and utilized by your body. Always check for methylated forms of B vitamins and quality mineral chelates. Artificial Dyes Are Dangerous – Red Dye 40 and other fillers serve no nutritional purpose and are linked to inflammation, digestive imbalances, ADHD symptoms, and potential colon cancer risk. Up to 83% of supplements on Amazon contain unexpected ingredients or lack what's promised on the label. Under-Dosing Is Widespread – Most store-brand multivitamins contain trace amounts that provide no therapeutic benefit. For example, 800 IU of vitamin D won't raise deficient levels—you need at least 5,000 IU daily with K2 for optimal absorption and immune function. Folic Acid vs. Methylfolate Is Critical – If you have MTHFR gene mutations (extremely common), synthetic folic acid can cause depression, fatigue, and digestive issues. Your body needs methylfolate—the active form that actually works, especially important for pregnant women and those with chronic health conditions. Amino Acids Are Non-Negotiable – A true multivitamin should include amino acids like choline, arginine, methionine, lysine, taurine, and N-acetylcysteine. These are the building blocks of DNA and protein that support detoxification, energy production, and overall cellular function. FEATURED PRODUCT Good Poops Protocol – Even the highest-quality vitamins won't work if your gut can't absorb them. The Good Poops Protocol is designed to repair and support your digestive tract, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and breakdown.

Is modern marketing broken, and are you missing the fundamental frameworks that are relevant today? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, host Nick Hague welcomes back Mark Ritson, founder of the Mini MBA, to unpack why marketing has regressed despite unprecedented access to data, tools, and talent. Mark breaks down the misconceptions and differences behind "strategies with long and short impact," why the 95/5 rule should guide budget allocation, and how most CMOs are dangerously undertrained. He exposes the pitfalls of discounting, the power of friction in brand positioning, and the realities of growth that many leaders overlook. Packed with frameworks, brutal truths, and practical direction, this conversation equips marketers to build sustainable, profitable brands in a noisy landscape. What You Will Learn: Why advertising effectiveness has declined 10% over three decades despite AI and data abundance The critical difference between "Long and Short impact" and what brands actually need How the 95/5 Rule reshapes budget allocation The profitability vs. revenue trap that derails most businesses Why price discounting is almost always a losing move, and how to reframe pricing How to build distinctiveness into brand positioning through productive friction If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. Instructions on how to do this are here. Mark Ritson Bio: Mark Ritson is a PhD marketer, celebrated professor, and founder of the Mini MBA. Over 25 years he taught at London Business School, MIT, Melbourne Business School, and Minnesota, earning multiple top-teaching awards. A former in-house consultant to LVMH, he has advised brands from Subaru to Sephora. His pricing research was cited during a Nobel Prize speech, and his prolific journalism has earned seven PPA Columnist of the Year awards. Now based in Tasmania, he focuses on the Mini MBA, writes for major publications, and continues skewering marketing nonsense with trademark wit. Quotes: "I think it's slightly worse than it was thirty years ago; we're certainly not improving. For all the talk of data and AI and everything else, when you see the occasional longitudinal data point, advertising is less effective than it used to be. We've slipped a little, not too much, but we certainly haven't made a lot of progress." "Retailers are selling the same stuff to the same people at the same time in the same place. Their obsession with price is because over the road, there's a competitor with 80% the same stock in the same places, going after the same customers. Price becomes this golden lever, and it's just something I never thought of before until I actually went in and started seeing it from the retail point of view." "All of the campaigns which are extraordinarily good at long-term brand building are also, with almost without exception, really good at immediately selling product. Long delivers short. You run a great TV campaign, it's gonna instantly start shifting product the next day as well as creating long-term changes in memory structures that might last for years." "There are 19 times more consumers outside the market than inside it. You want to spend 60-70% of your budget on the 95% so you're ready for when they come in later. The key lesson is it's usually too late to go after the 5% when they come into market, you need salience established beforehand."

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
This episode argues that the AI bubble conversation has become one of the least helpful frames for understanding what actually matters in AI (at least if you're not an investor). It's a sentiment-driven market narrative shaped by macro pressure, uncertainty, and impossible long-range predictions—none of which tell operators anything about how to use AI or plan for it. The real signals come from adoption patterns, financing structures, and the shifting economic context around AI infrastructure. Plus: headlines on the paused White House EO, insurers excluding AI risk, Google's compute expansion, OpenAI's Apple talent drain, and Sierra's rapid growth.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

From certificate worship to critical thinking: Why your education ends where real success begins - and the daily habit that separates achievers from dreamers. In this transformative episode of Konnected Minds, Aisini Aman returns with unfiltered wisdom that demolishes the certificate-chasing mentality keeping young Africans trapped in employment fantasies. With his signature mystical positivity, he exposes a fundamental truth: the education system deliberately limits your thinking to keep you seeking jobs instead of creating value. The conversation cuts deep into the emotional warfare of entrepreneurship - dealing with people who chop your money, navigating daily problems that threaten to derail your vision, and the principle of never deviating from core truth. Aman reveals why sticking to intrinsic values like honesty, compassion, and work ethic matters more than any material gain, and why nations that sacrifice human value for wealth eventually destroy themselves with guns and knives. He challenges the colonial ideology that not everyone can be an entrepreneur, pointing to the graduate sitting at home with village land perfect for cassava farming. "Entrepreneurship is solving problems," he declares, "there's nothing magical about it." The episode exposes how physical colonization extended into knowledge colonization, making Africans believe their own innovations are worthless while chasing validation from New York and London. Critical revelations include: • Why your certificate is not proof of education - the resource you produce is • The topology principle: the further you move from core truth, the less successful you become • Why there's a difference between having money and having joy, value, and fulfillment • How stealing from others is actually stealing from yourself - a principle of wealth creation • The daily habit that guarantees long-term success: knowledge acquisition every day • Why Ghanaian musicians gain traction from home, not abroad - your roots are your strength • The religion test: does it promote love, truth, and justice, or financial ignorance disguised as faith? • Why God giving everyone talent means everyone can be somebody From watching YouTube videos to buying CDs before the internet era, Aman demonstrates that continuous learning is non-negotiable for success. He dismantles the lie that some people must remain poor to serve the rich, revealing how robots and machines can handle dignity-stripping work while humans focus on innovation. The conversation reaches its peak with a provocative question about leadership: do those in power not know the truth, or do they know but deliberately keep people confused? Aman's answer cuts through the confusion: "You cannot really have the truth and teach lies. If your teaching is right, why are the people confused? Why are they begging for visas to jump out?" This isn't motivation - it's a systematic breakdown of the design systems that bring results. From financial principles to entrepreneurship frameworks to the anthropology of truth, Aman provides clarity of thought as the true form of success. He challenges the ideology that keeps Africans creating content for international audiences who barely watch, when the real traction comes from home. The episode concludes with wisdom about daily habits: knowledge acquisition through reading, searching, watching, and learning - the compound interest of personal development that transforms dreamers into achievers. This is the unfiltered truth about why clarity, core values, and continuous learning matter more than certificates, why your roots are your strength, and why the treasure of creation is human value that must never be sacrificed for material gain.

As the founder of Robert's Rules Made Simple, she has trained and coached more than 10,000 board members and meeting chairs across North America, giving them the skills and confidence to run healthy, effective, and engaging meetings.Susan's passion for this work is deeply personal. After watching her mother serve five years on a dysfunctional city government board, she saw how toxic meetings don't just waste time—they drain health, energy, and life.

That realization fuels her mission: using Robert's Rules not just as a productivity tool, but as a pathway to healthier, more respectful, and more human meeting dynamics.A Certified Speaking Professional and founding member of the Association of Transformational Leaders, Susan brings humor, heart, and practical strategies to every stage.

Robert wrote a parliamentary procedure handbook in 1876, and how it became the gold standard for running board and organizational meetings.She discusses how these rules can help bring order, civility, and effectiveness to meetings of all sizes—whether for large organizations, small nonprofits, HOAs, or even family discussions.Modernizing a Classic: Susan reveals how she brings energy, fun, and modern relevance to the (traditionally dry) topic of Robert's Rules—making the process more accessible, less intimidating, and empowering for today's leaders.From Boardroom to Bedroom: The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Susan talks about how the principles of structure, order, and intention can also be applied to personal relationships—including marriage. She notes that having structure actually frees people up to communicate better and have more fun.Practical Wisdom:How understanding just seven fundamental motions can help anyone feel more confident in running or participating in meetings.The importance of having an agenda, setting intention, and valuing everyone's time and life.Why structure in meetings and relationships creates more “rhythm” and less chaos.Empowering Leaders: Susan shares stories from her 20+ years in this field, including helping boards resolve conflict before turning to lawyers, and how simple changes in meeting dynamics can make a world of difference.Decision-making in the Age of AI: Both Liz and Susan discuss the irreplaceable human element of group decisions and why, despite advances in technology, real conversations and choices should remain a uniquely human process.Resources and How to Work with Susan: Whether for your board, your business, or your personal life, Susan offers online programs and coaching to help you “chair a meeting with confidence” and create healthier dynamics—everywhere.Links MentionedVisit robertsrulesmadesimple.com for Susan's online training programs on meeting management and parliamentary procedure.For personal/couples coaching and resources: susanleahy.comKey TakeawayEffective meetings (and relationships!) thrive on clear structure, intention, and respect for everyone's time—because “time equals life.” By learning even the basics of Robert's Rules and bringing purposeful energy into your gatherings, you can create healthier, happier environments at work and at home.Connect with Susan:robertsrulesmadesimple.comsusanleahy.com Hosted on Acast.

We've optimized the fun right out of existence.I realized this recently when I noticed that every single thing on my calendar served a purpose. Work meetings. Kid activities. Workouts. Networking events. Even my "fun" plans were really just relationship maintenance or personal development in disguise. There was literally nothing on there that was pure play. Nothing that existed just because it lit me up inside.We've been sold this idea that adulthood means being serious. Responsible. Productive. But somewhere along the way, we confused being an adult with being joyless. In Vedic philosophy, there's this concept of lila. Divine play. The idea that creation itself is an act of joyful expression, not serious business. That the universe is literally playing itself into existence. And yet here we are, treating our one precious life like a performance review.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/427Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

No, Product Management Isn't Useless — You're Just Doing It WrongIf you think PMs just write tickets and slow things down, you haven't seen product management done right.I've lost count of how many times I've heard some version of this:“Do we even need product managers anymore?”Usually, it comes after a failed launch, a bloated backlog, or a roadmap that reads like a Frankenstein wishlist stitched together by six departments and zero users.And sure — if that's what you think product management is, I can't blame you for questioning it.
