The High-Risk Sealing Expedition of the Nanina Eric J. Dolan Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World Sealing was a lucrative industry, particularly for the China market, valued for its high-quality fur seal pelts and elephant seal blubber. Charles Barnard, a veteran sealer, proposed a high-risk expedition on the brig Nanina to the Falkland Islands, which Murray and Son backed despite the impending War of 1812. Many merchant vessels remained in port, but Barnard and Murray viewed this as an opportunity to meet pent-up demand. Barnard's crew included four captains, notably diarist Barzillai Pease, and his 63-year-old, infirm father, Valentine Barnard, who was meant to captain the Nanina on its return voyage to New York laden with cargo. They departed from New York just as an embargo took effect. 1833 FALKLANDS

Big O talks Stephen Ross and Dolphins 101525

In this episode of Life Equals Choices, Choices Equal Life, Kim Olver welcomes Angela Maiers, globally recognized educator, author, and founder of the Choose to Matter movement. Together, they explore the deep science and human truth behind mattering—the fundamental need to be seen, valued, and needed.Angela shares how the movement began unexpectedly after her TED Talk and how it evolved into a worldwide call to action, led by young people who want to make a difference in their communities. Drawing on neuroscience and real-world research, she explains that the drive to matter is biologically programmed—essential for both survival and flourishing—and describes the transformative effects of mattering on education, leadership, and well-being.Through powerful stories and research insights, Kim and Angela discuss the difference between self-worth and self-esteem, why feeling needed fuels purpose and resilience, and how children intuitively understand what many adults have forgotten: that everyone has unique value to offer. This conversation challenges listeners to reclaim their innate worth and to create spaces where others feel they belong, contribute, and truly matter.Learn more about Angela's work, her book, and the Choose to Matter movement at https://angelamaiers.com/.

What if the key to motivation and well-being isn't finding your purpose, but first believing you're worthy of having one? Zach Mercurio returns to The Leadership Project with a powerful insight: “It is almost impossible for anything to matter to someone who doesn't first believe that they matter.” He explains why many self-help books and engagement programs fall short — because they overlook the human need to matter and feel significant to others.In his new book The Power of Mattering, Zach reveals how feeling seen, valued, and needed drives our sense of purpose. When we feel we matter, we gain the confidence to add value — creating a cycle where feeling valued leads to contributing more. Yet in today's rushed, digital world, our ability to connect deeply has faded. As Zach says, “Hurry and care cannot coexist.”The solution lies in three simple habits: noticing others, affirming their impact, and needing them. These small acts cost nothing but can transform how people experience their worth. Zach challenges leaders to ask, “When you feel that you matter to me, what am I doing?” — and to do more of it. Because when people feel they matter, they do things that matter.

Today on The Art of Teaching Podcast, I'm joined by Amelia Martin, Senior Education Advisor for Middle Years with Brisbane Catholic Education. Amelia works passionately to deliver on a powerful vision — that every child deserves to feel a sense of belonging, connection, and success at school. With experience across primary and secondary settings, Amelia has dedicated her career to supporting teachers and school leaders to create learning environments where young adolescents thrive — academically, socially, and emotionally. In this conversation, we explore what it really means to teach for belonging, how we can reimagine the middle years, and why relationships must sit at the heart of learning.

They go deep into why your workplace vibe is everything, how to create a space people never want to leave, and what happens when you care more about people than profit. ✨ Whether you're leading a team or building something from scratch, this episode will light a fire in your soul.

She's particularly bullish on midcap technology stocks, which are often overlooked in favor of their larger peers, but offer strong innovation and growth potential.

Is today's stock market priced too high? Economist Brian Wesbury, Chief Economist at First Trust Advisors, has been warning that the market is overvalued by roughly 40% based on his fair value model of the S&P 500. In this week's Fastest 4 Minutes in Finance, Scott Inman breaks down Wesbury's analysis: Why rising Treasury yields could drag stock values lower Why First Trust has set a year-end S&P 500 target of 5,200 (a potential 19% drop) What AI, big tech, and other sectors may mean for long-term growth opportunities Bottom line: Expect volatility in the coming months, but remember—the key is to stay invested for long-term growth while working with a financial advisor to make smart adjustments along the way.

September is already volatile and we haven't even had a Fed meeting yet! Now might be the right time to look into the “value” promise of AI… and add some under-valued sectors as cheap insurance.   

We live in a culture that often celebrates the ‘perfect' relationship but does little to prepare us for the reality of long-term commitment. Modern life is filled with idealised images of love and marriage – but the truth, as this week's returning guest suggests, is far more human, messy and ultimately hopeful.   I'm delighted to welcome Alain de Botton back to the podcast. Alain is an author, internationally acclaimed philosopher and founder of The School of Life, a hugely popular education and wellness organisation that provides guidance on how to achieve happiness and fulfilment.  His latest book, ‘From Trauma to Healing: How to Locate, Process and Recover From Psychological Wounds' helps us understand what trauma is, how it affects us and what we can do about it. During this incredible conversation, we discuss: Why the idea that we will “marry the right person” sets us up for disappointment How our childhood experiences shape who we're drawn to as adults The hidden cost of perfectionism in relationships The cultural myths about soulmates, instant understanding and effortless romance, and how these ideas can undermine lasting love How unprocessed trauma can resurface in our closest relationships, and why learning to communicate our needs is an essential skill The surprising role that distance, independence and time apart can play in sustaining desire and intimacy   There's something deeply reassuring in knowing that love doesn't have to look like the stories we grew up with. And by letting go of these cultural myths and by embracing each other's flaws, we improve not only our relationships, but also how happy and contented we feel.  I hope you enjoy listening.

In today's fast-paced world, women often find themselves juggling a multitude of responsibilities, both at home and in the workplace which often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. From planning family events to managing office morale, this invisible labor often falls disproportionately on women, leading to feelings of burnout and resentment. The term "invisible workload" highlights the emotional and mental tasks that keep our lives and workplaces running smoothly, yet rarely receive acknowledgment. But in today's episode I address this pressing issue. I encourage you to start by recognizing your own contributions, keeping a journal of daily tasks to highlight the invisible labor you perform. This practice not only fosters self-awareness but also creates opportunities for open conversations about sharing responsibilities in both personal and professional relationships.

This week's episode explores the thought, “I need to be valued.” This thought can become so insidious with its underlying beliefs – for example, believing our support, our existence depends on being liked by others. There can be a laundry list of things we think we need to be valued for: our time, our presence, our various roles, and most often just … ourselves. But what happens when we believe this? What becomes of our sense of freedom? As Tom often puts it, does it give us a big, fat ‘Yes!' to life? Or does this thought become a prison shackle that we try to accommodate by contorting ourselves in order to be valued by others, and resenting them when they don't come through with that validation? If you're somewhere on your own freedom journey, we invite you to join this conversation and facilitation guided by Tom.

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset is for every working mom who's flying solo from a home office (that doubles as the laundry folding station)… or working behind the scenes in a role where your impact isn't always front and center. Because let's be real… when you're working from home, it can feel like you're doing all the things… producing, emailing, creating, planning, wrangling tiny humans, and reheating your coffee for the third time… and yet, sometimes it feels like no one notices. That's why we're anchoring this week's reset with one powerful quote by Porter Gale:

 Alan Gayle, president of Via Nova Investment Management, is concerned about economic sluggishness and "how the world is going to look and who is going to win" after tariff and rate changes fully play out. Coupled with a stock market where he sees equities as overpriced, that leaves Gayle wanting to be fully diversified, including a full allocation to domestic bonds but also international stocks, where he finds compelling values that he thinks can continue to run. Gayle says that he expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates soon, but "anything the Fed does today takes at least nine months to work," so he thinks it will take that long for the market to get some clarity; as a result, he wants to stay invested and buy any dips while waiting for opportunities to become more apparent.    Xander Gray, chief executive at XG Capital Strategies, says that current price levels are high compared to moving averages which suggests that there might be a consolidation or pullback in the offing. Gray — who was last on the show late in 2024, when he called for a market downturn and a recession — says spending and other factors have helped to hold off the recession, though the numbers are showing signs of a weakening that makes the market's current rally hard to trust.     Mitchel Penn, managing director of equity research for Oppenheimer & Co., says that business-development companies have moved past concerns about a spike in credit losses and are now "fairly valued" by the market, meaning that their biggest potential gains for the remainder of the year will come from simply capturing dividend payouts. That's not bad, especially because he expects payouts to remain in the high single-digit range, even after likely interest rate cuts that will carry into 2026.

Mitchel Penn, Managing Director of Equity Research for Oppenheimer & Co., says that business-development companies are now "fairly valued" by the market, which means that their biggest potential gains for the remainder of the year will come from simply capturing dividend payouts. In 2026, with the industry likely facing interest rate cuts, BDCs will see their return on equity shrink in line with rate declines, saying that for every 1% cut in rates, BDC payouts would be expected to shrink in step. In an interview from AICA's BDC Forum in June, Penn noted that he was worried about a spike in credit losses that BDCs experienced in the first quarter of 2025; he said that pressure has passed, dramatically reducing his concerns about the potential for BDCs to disappoint investors.

In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it…. John 1:4-5, The Amplified Bible _____________________________________________________________ Whenever things around you get dark and you feel the devil is about to overpower you, remember this: You have the Light of the world in you, and try as they may, all the forces of hell can't put it out! Even when you're at your weakest, even when you feel like the light within you is small, the devil's darkness is no match for you. Let me show you what I mean. Imagine for a moment that you're in a large auditorium that has no windows or doors to let in outside light. The place is so black you can't see anything, not even your hand in front of your face. There's nothing around you but complete darkness!

Jesus has great compassion for everyone. Especially for those society considers unlovable or worth nothing.One day, He stopped by a well and had a conversation with a woman who had been married five times. When He spoke to her, He knew she was now living with another man. Yet Jesus spoke to her in a way that let her know He valued her as a person.He told her that people could drink the water from that well, but again, they would eventually be thirsty. He said to her that the water He gives is a spring welling up inside them, pointing to eternal life.John 7:38 says, “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” Do you believe in Him? Have you had your encounter with Jesus? If you are thirsty for a new life, reach out to Him and listen to what Jesus has to say.Your life will no longer be dry and lifeless.New life will flow out of you so that others will notice and want what you have!Let's pray.Lord, much of what the world offers doesn't satisfy us. We need the living water only you can provide. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Have you ever achieved a big goal, only to feel something was missing afterward? Or wondered why no amount of external validation ever seems quite enough? Today, I'm excited to reshare a meaningful conversation from the Mental Training Lab podcast, where I sat down with sport and performance psychology expert Pete Kadushin to talk about the powerful concept of “mattering.”If you are a regular listener, you know how this message has impacted me: how shifting from perfectionistic, outcome-driven mindsets toward purposeful action and intrinsic motivation can transform not just your performance but also your entire approach to life. We discuss why feeling valued and adding value to others is far more fulfilling than chasing external accolades, how to recognize and use your character strengths to foster deeper connections, and practical strategies for cultivating lasting resilience and well-being.Here is what you'll learn:The power of matteringOvercoming perfectionismLeveraging character strengthsThe importance of recognition and communicationSavoring and gratitude practices LINKS:- Listen to The Mental Training Lab with Pete Kadushin- Finding Meaning and Mattering at Work with Andrew Soren- Insights from IPAA Brisbane 2025--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

It can be one of the most frustrating things in the world. That discontent and confusion about your professional life and where it's headed. The feeling that keeps you up at night, scrolling job postings, revisiting all the “what if's” from your past, and daydreaming about a complete 180 you've always thought about, but never acted on. Staying in this mental space doesn't just drain your energy, it leaves you lost, confused about your future and what a step forward even looks like. Whether you're burnt out, fed up with the bureaucracy, or simply craving a new challenge— you need definitive clarity about what you want, along with an honest map of the current landscape so you can make the next right move. This episode will cut through the worry and wishful thinking as Brett lays out: How to identify which passion is worth acting on, even when your head is spinning with options A framework to pressure-test a career move—so you can dip a toe or get your foot in the door without blowing up your life The role of bridge jobs and the realistic steps needed to work your way toward that bigger goal (even if it feels far off right now) Ways to break out of the psychological paralysis that keeps people stuck in neutral How to bucket your tradeoffs so you don't let fear creep in, remembering nothing is final

In this heart-centered episode of the Equipping ELLs podcast, Beth Vaucher dives into one of the most overlooked yet powerful strategies for supporting English Language Learners (ELLs): intentional connection. As the new school year begins, Beth emphasizes the importance of creating an environment where students feel seen, valued, and confident from the very first day. Instead of focusing solely on academic prep, she encourages educators to prioritize building authentic relationships that set the foundation for long-term success.Beth walks listeners through five proven strategies for establishing intentional connection, starting with the vital act of pronouncing students' names correctly, a simple but impactful gesture that validates identity. She discusses how to offer choice in sharing, acknowledging that newcomers may not be ready to open up about their backgrounds right away. Through flexible, low-pressure activities like “Would You Rather” games, teachers can gently encourage participation without overwhelming students.The episode also explores how to use culturally relevant materials, from books and visuals to classroom decor, to affirm students' diverse identities. Beth shares how daily routines and rituals, like consistent greetings and check-ins, help build predictability and trust. Most importantly, she highlights the value of celebrating multilingualism through classroom labels, bilingual books, and encouraging students to share in their home language.Listeners will walk away with practical tools, including free resources like multilingual labels and access to an upcoming webinar on setting up routines. Beth also challenges teachers to think beyond their classrooms, how can they help their entire school become a welcoming place for ELLs? With thoughtful guidance and heartfelt encouragement, this episode is a must-listen for any educator seeking to build inclusive, responsive classrooms where all students can thrive.Subscribe to the Equipping ELLs podcast for more actionable tips, and don't forget to connect on Instagram for exclusive free resources.

Nothing will haunt you like the things you leave unsaid. It's a bold statement, and a chilling one—but unfortunately, most of us know exactly how true it is. You owe it to them and to yourself to speak the truth about what they mean to you. No matter the regrettable things you've said or done to each other... the failures, the absences, the apologies never given, or the love you didn't express—it needs to get out. We've covered a wide range of topics since launching this podcast, but this one stands out as an evergreen. It's a conversation that will withstand the test of time and deeply resonate with YOU. In this episode, Brett shoots straight from the heart and will explain: Why we often don't say what needs to be said—how assumptions, pride, and fear keep olive branches from growing The danger of “safe” silence—and how it can quietly grow into full-blown regret How to make sure you're not leaving yourself out of the conversation by silencing your own positive affirmations A practical strategy to turn that charged cluster of emotions and thoughts into something meaningful (SPOILER: Just say it messy!) Setting clear expectations and staying grounded in case the message isn't received the way you hoped
