The fascinating story of a British army chaplain's buggery trial in 1774 reveals surprising truths about early America.On the eve of the American Revolution, the British army considered the case of a chaplain, Robert Newburgh, who had been accused of having sex with a man. Newburgh's enemies cited his flamboyant appearance, defiance of military authority, and seduction of soldiers as proof of his low character. Consumed by fears that the British Empire would soon be torn asunder, his opponents claimed that these supposed crimes against nature translated to crimes against the king.In Vicious and Immoral: Homosexuality, the American Revolution, and the Trials of Robert Newburgh (JHU Press, 2024) historian John McCurdy tells this compelling story of male intimacy and provides an unparalleled glimpse inside eighteenth-century perceptions of queerness. By demanding to have his case heard, Newburgh invoked Enlightenment ideals of equality, arguing passionately that his style of dress and manner should not affect his place in the army or society. His accusers equated queer behavior with rebellion, and his defenders would go on to join the American cause. Newburgh's trial offers some clues to understanding a peculiarity of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century: while gay acts were prohibited by law in much of the British empire, the newly formed United States was comparatively uninterested in legislating against same-sex intimacy.McCurdy imagines what life was like for a gay man in early America and captures the voices of those who loved and hated Newburgh, revealing how sexuality and revolution informed one another. Vicious and Immoral is the first book to place homosexuality in conversation with the American Revolution, and it dares us to rethink the place of LGBTQ people in the founding of the nation.

Yes, physical gold is a safe haven, but gold also attracts a lot of speculative capital, particularly the paper markets. Gold futures are among the most traded futures in the world, and there is nothing physical about them. So when there is a panic, gold tends to sell off along with everything else as liquidity dries up and everyone rushes to cash.The US dollar is actually the safe haven, except that it isn't, because you are bleeding 7 or 8% of value every year to money supply growth.I am getting so many messages at the moment asking me what to do “when the collapse comes”, as though the collapse of fiat is a foregone conclusion. I don't think it is. I think continued depreciation is more likely. Fiat could collapse, of course, but we are in a probabilities game and I'd give it perhaps a 25% probability, while continued depreciation I'd put at well over 50% likelihood.At present we have three financial storms on the horizon. Whether they actually reach us or not remains to be seen, but we should be aware of them nonetheless, so that we can be prepared if they do eventually close in.Nasty stock market correction ahead?They are, first, the fact that US markets are so leveraged to AI. You don't even need the AI bubble to pop, you just need it to deflate a little bit, and it takes the S&P500 down with it.It's not like I, and many others besides, haven't mentioned this before, but it bears mentioning again: the Magnificent Seven, which are highly AI oriented, currently account for about a third of the combined market capitalisation of the S&P's 500 companies. Ten years ago the equivalent concentration was around 15%, and that seemed like a lot.From an asset allocation perspective - particularly with so much passive investing - this is dangerous, to put it mildly. Concentration is fine when markets are going up. If you're concentrated in the right sector you make a lot of money. But when things unravel you get your backside handed to you on a plate. Diversification spreads risk. The S&P500 “should” be diversified. It isn't. Passive investing is supposed to be diversified. It isn't.But this has been the case for a long time. It hasn't mattered. It doesn't matter until it does.Then there is the fact that every mid-term election years have a tendency to deliver autumn drawdowns. According to some sources, every year. If we get a significant drawdown in the S&P500, the safehaven that is gold will sell off too.Wobbly bondsThe second financial storm - is it even on the horizon any more? - lies in the government bond market. It's worth remembering just how large the bond market is. The global value is estimated at around $145 trillion, so larger than the combined stock market which is closer to $130 trillion.You have probably seen headlines this week saying bond markets are “on fire” and that governments are “in hock to the bond market”. Government debt across the developed world - and deficits with it - have risen dramatically since Covid, and the bond markets are not so willing to finance that borrowing at the ultra-low rates of the previous decade. Investors want more yield for their risk. Can't say I blame them.That basically translates as, “if I am to lend you money for ten years, you are going to have to pay me 5% interest, maybe more. 2% is no longer enough.”As yields rise, the cost of servicing debt rises with them. Just a small increase can add tens of billions to annual interest payments.The US has the enormous advantage of issuing the world's reserve currency, but its huge structural deficits mean it is vulnerable. Japan, Britain, France and Italy are particularly at risk because they combine high debt burdens with fiscal or political problems.Higher yields mean higher interest payments, which make deficits larger, requiring governments to issue still more debt. Vicious circle time. Governments try to avoid this by issuing shorter-term debt, but that merely increases refinancing exposure. The US Treasury's increasing reliance on shorter maturities is therefore a concern.Politicians might promise to spend more, but somebody has to buy their debt. If investors want a significantly higher return, governments may find that fiscal policy is increasingly dictated by the bond market rather than by politicians.You may see that as a good thing and it probably is. Government spending has to be reined in somehow. But higher interest rates will put pressure on real estate and equities, and they increase the likelihood of defaults, which tend to snowball. See 2008 for more details.Defaults should also increase demand for gold, because there is no liability or counterparty. But that doesn't happen straight away, necessarily. The liquidity has to come out of the market first, and that means everything goes lower. Just gold doesn't go down quite as much and it turns back up first.The reaction of governments to a debt crisis will of course be to print. And that too benefits gold.Which brings us to financial storm number three on the horizon, although this one is really a subset of two.The UK. It is a standout amongst all of this. Our interest rates are already high, which means greater pressure on the government (they are the main reason sterling has held up). We have a new Prime Minister, who is currently trying to buy popularity and who seems to think that the solution to many of the UK's problems is more government spending, not less, and that will require more borrowing and higher taxes. But he has inherited a precarious fiscal position and a bond market that is already demanding a substantial return. Ten-year gilt e yields have risen above 5%, their highest level in 18 years, and longer-term borrowing costs have reached a 28-year high, with 30-year gilt yields closing down on 6%.The political situation is also awkward. The combined right-wing vote exceeds the Labour vote by some considerable distance, but it is split between the Tories, Reform and Restore. Does Burnham exploit this to call an early election? Will his backbenchers even let him if he wants to do this? Will an early election mean greater or less stability?On the other hand high rates are at least propping sterling up. I say propping up. On a purchasing power parity basis, the UK is actually cheap and sterling too. Doesn't mean it can't get cheaper. As UK nationals, we have inevitable exposure to sterling, but the prudent thing for a UK citizen to do is reduce sterling exposure. Hold non-government currencies is my advice: gold and bitcoin. I'll have more on the la tter soon.BOLD.L might be the way. Most roads lead to gold at the moment but they are rocky roads.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.Other mattersI have turned my Britain On Sale series of seven undervalued companies that could be taken out during the current takeover frenzy into a downloadable PDF report. Here it is.There is a real opportunity here right here and now. I cannot stress that enough. The UK is cheap and being bought up.And last but not least, The Secret History of Gold is now out in paperback in the UK, so get your copy now. It has had excellent reviews and has now reached best seller status, I'm delighted to report, with the audiobook especially popular. This is a public episode.

In this episode, we're looking at the ImpossibleQuest that Commodus called “Stolen Secrets of the Gods”. As I understand it, he was using some knockoff of Mimir's Well? I guess his inspiration was Odin sacrificing his eye for wisdom – but we've talked about that in a couple of episodes already, so let's look at a couple of other stories featuring the acquisition of forbidden wisdom: stealing fire from the gods, and catching a magical fish.

The focus for this episode is the ImpossibleQuest that Commodus is calling “The Never-Ending Boss Fight”. So, we'll be examining some stories of undefeatable warriors and epic duels. We'll start with a hero who has a centuries-long redemption arc – and along the way, he becomes immortal not just once but multiple times. Then we'll learn the story of a green knight who likes really weird party games, and we'll run through the series of duels that leads up to the end of the Trojan War.

Today I'm reviewing Vicious Miscreations by Jenn Neal, the first book in The Fractured Worlds series—a New Adult dark urban fantasy pitched as Six of Crows meets Arcane, with one particularly deadly twist: the plants can kill you.

Chris Niebauer earned his Ph.D in cognitive neuropsychology from the University of Toledo, specializing in left- and right-brain differences. He is the author of The Abstract Mind: How Thinking Became the Source of Suffering—And How to Break Free, the bestselling No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up to Buddhism, and its companion workbook. He taught consciousness, mindfulness, brain lateralization, and artificial intelligence for 22 years as a professor at a Pennsylvania state university. In this conversation, Chris explores the philosophical foundations of his new book, The Abstract Mind, drawing on William James's concept of vicious abstractionism and Alfred North Whitehead's fallacy of misplaced concreteness to examine how thinking itself can become a source of suffering. Building on the insights of No Self, No Problem, he considers the distinction between consciousness and thought, the role of affective neuroscience and embodied development, and why direct experience may offer a path beyond abstraction. Along the way, he reflects on artificial intelligence, contemplative practice, and what it might mean to come home to the immediacy of lived experience. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:03 Chris's background 00:10:58 Consciousness vs thinking 00:21:42 Thought, memory, abstraction, and reality 00:29:10 Vicious abstraction and the illusion of ownership 00:39:24 The DSM, mental illness, and consciousness 00:48:38 Affective neuroscience and emotion 00:53:11 Trauma, the nervous system, and safety 01:12:19 The richness of direct experience 01:20:32 Redefining our role in the age of AI 01:24:22 Jung, the unconscious, and awareness 01:26:59 A simple practice for everyday life Producer: Elena McNally Editor: John Hartmann (Recorded on July 11, 2026) New Thinking Allowed Guest Host Leanne Whitney, PhD, is a depth psychologist and transformational coach based in Los Angeles, CA.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. From Bishop Barron's very first social media post close to 20 years ago, he and Word on Fire as a whole have recognized that the online world is a rough-and-tumble place. While most, over the years, have interacted with our content with charity and respect, even if they disagree, there's always been a gallery of trolls who traffic in insults and profanity and are only interested in taking potshots at the ministry rather than engaging in conversation. So it goes—that's just part of the price of entry into the digital world, especially when evangelization is your goal. The internet culture, however, seems to have taken a dark turn recently. Whatever limited restraint people used to show in their online interactions seems to have evaporated in a toxic cloud of mob-fueling—and mob-fueled—rage, replete with distortions, deceptions, and sometimes even explicit calls for violence. Exacerbated by the rise of the use of AI, bots, and anonymous accounts often based in foreign countries, it is increasingly difficult to know with whom you are engaging online or what their motives are. And sadly, physical threats from online sources are now also something we must take very seriously. So how should we move forward from here? Is it still possible to make evangelical headway in this increasingly noxious online environment? If so, what principles should guide the way? Here to discuss the challenges and possible solutions to the current state of the online world is Bishop Robert Barron.

This episode, we'll explore stories inspired by the ImpossibleQuest that Commodus is calling The Contest of Godly Strength. So, when I think about gods and heroes who have performed feats of incredible strength, there are really two who leap immediately to mind. One of them is Heracles, who we've talked about a lot on this podcast – and another is the Norse god Thor. I'll tell some of their stories, as well as introducing you to the bronze giant Talos and the Malaysian hero Badang! All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends.

The Documentary "Who Killed Nancy?"The 1986 biopic Sid and Nancy largely frames their deaths around a tragic, drug-fueled descent. However, if you are looking into the real-world investigation, the 2009 documentary Who Killed Nancy? directed by Alan G. Parker re-examined NYPD evidence and interviewed 182 people, heavily arguing that Vicious was physically incapable of the crime and pointing the blame back toward the missing money and independent dealers. The true identity of who killed Nancy Spungen remains officially unresolved, though her boyfriend and Sex Pistols bassist, Sid Vicious, was the prime suspect and charged with her murder. On October 12, 1978, Spungen bled to death from a single stab wound to the abdomen in Room 100 of the Hotel Chelsea in New York City. Because Vicious died of a heroin overdose less than four months later while out on bail, the case never went to trial and was legally closed. Over the decades, three primary theories have dominated the mystery:1. Sid Vicious Killed HerThis is the official police theory. The weapon used was a hunting knife owned by Vicious. He gave conflicting statements, initially confessing by saying, "I did it... because I'm a dirty dog," before later recanting and claiming he had been asleep after taking heavy doses of sedatives. 2. A Robbery and Drug Deal Gone WrongThe Hotel Chelsea was highly chaotic that night, with numerous drug dealers and visitors drifting in and out of Room 100. A substantial stack of cash belonging to the couple went missing from the room. Many of Vicious's peers—including Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren—strongly believed Sid was passed out from drugs and that a thief stabbed Nancy when she caught them stealing. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]3. Actor and Drug Dealer Rockets RedglareA prominent alternative theory points to Rockets Redglare, a late actor, stand-up comedian, and drug dealer who served as Vicious's bodyguard. Redglare had delivered drugs to the room hours before the body was found. According to some investigators and punk rock historians, Redglare allegedly killed Spungen during a struggle when he tried to rob the apartment.

Police Sergeant Injured In Vicious Assault With A Car. The Flawed Retirement Process. Most people assume that when a police officer suffers catastrophic injuries protecting the public, the system they faithfully served will protect them in return. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio Retired Lowell, Massachusetts Police Sergeant Vincent Fernandez says that isn't always what happens. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. His story isn't simply about surviving a violent criminal attack. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. It's about surviving what came afterward. During a powerful interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, Fernandez describes the horrific assault that permanently changed his life, the devastating toll it took on his health, and why he believes Massachusetts' retirement system continues to fail many catastrophically injured first responders. The emotional conversation is available on their website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartradio, where listeners continue discovering stories that reveal the realities behind the badge. Police Sergeant Injured In Vicious Assault With A Car. The Flawed Retirement Process. A Routine Response Became a Life-Changing Assault In 2016, Lowell Patrol Sergeant Vincent Fernandez responded to what appeared to be another dangerous call. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. It quickly became something far worse. A fleeing felon used a vehicle as a weapon. As Fernandez attempted to stop the suspect, his arm became trapped on the windshield. "The windshield wiper broke, it flung me from the car. I landed on the cobblestones," Fernandez recalled. He wasn't simply knocked down. He was dragged approximately 150 feet along Middle Street before being violently thrown onto the roadway. The suspect was later charged with attempted murder. Although Fernandez survived, the attack permanently altered every aspect of his future.  Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Seven Spine Surgeries and a Traumatic Brain Injury Many people imagine recovery as returning to work after months of rehabilitation. That never happened. Fernandez suffered catastrophic spinal injuries and a traumatic brain injury that ultimately required seven spinal surgeries. Police Sergeant Injured In Vicious Assault With A Car. The Flawed Retirement Process. The neurological injuries affected far more than his physical strength. They changed everyday life. One memory still overwhelms him. "I don't know if she remembers it but one day my daughter had to help me tie my shoes and I couldn't read," Fernandez said through tears. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Those words illustrate something many people never consider. Traumatic brain injuries don't just affect police careers. They affect marriages. They affect children. They affect every ordinary moment families once took for granted. The Hidden Costs of Police Trauma When Fernandez was injured, his children were only ten and six years old. Instead of planning family vacations or school activities, his family found themselves navigating surgeries, rehabilitation, specialists, prescriptions, insurance claims, and financial uncertainty. Police Sergeant Injured In Vicious Assault With A Car. The Flawed Retirement Process. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. "We incurred tens of thousands of dollars in personal costs to pay for co-pays and deductibles and out of pocket costs and I could barely function, let alone help my family," Fernandez explained. Like countless injured officers across America, the physical injuries were only one part of the struggle. The financial burden became another. The Flawed Retirement Process Fernandez medically retired with approximately 72 percent of his salary. While many people might assume that sounds adequate, he argues it falls dramatically short for officers whose careers ended because they were violently assaulted while protecting their communities. Medical retirement often arrives alongside enormous medical expenses, specialized treatments, adaptive equipment, neurological care, ongoing rehabilitation, and permanent disabilities. Police Sergeant Injured In Vicious Assault With A Car. The Flawed Retirement Process. Listen to this powerful episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and most major podcast platforms. For Fernandez, retirement wasn't the end of the fight. It became another battle entirely. He believes the retirement system left him, and many others, behind. Fighting for Other Injured First Responders Rather than quietly accepting the outcome, Fernandez has become an advocate. He has joined other catastrophically injured Massachusetts first responders in seeking legislative changes that would provide 100 percent pension compensation. Massachusetts expanded retirement benefits in 2024 for some catastrophically injured first responders, allowing eligible officers to receive 100 percent of their base salary. Police Sergeant Injured In Vicious Assault With A Car. The Flawed Retirement Process. However, officers like Fernandez, whose injuries occurred before that law was passed, currently do not qualify. Instead, they must pursue individual legislation. Fernandez argues that catastrophic injuries shouldn't be treated differently simply because of the calendar. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. To him, the sacrifice remains exactly the same. Beyond the Badge The interview isn't only about pensions. It's about what happens after public attention disappears. Police officers routinely accept risks that most citizens will never face. They understand they may be injured. They understand they may never return home. What many don't expect is feeling forgotten after making those sacrifices. Fernandez's story raises difficult questions about how communities support officers whose careers end through violence while protecting others. Police Sergeant Injured In Vicious Assault With A Car. The Flawed Retirement Process. A Story Every Community Should Hear The conversation with Vincent Fernandez goes beyond policing. It's about resilience. It's about family. It's about recovery. And it's about asking whether those who suffer catastrophic injuries protecting their communities deserve lifelong security instead of lifelong uncertainty. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. His powerful interview serves as a reminder that surviving the assault isn't always the hardest part. Sometimes the hardest battle begins after the emergency lights disappear. Listen to this compelling episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify, iHeartradio and discover why Vincent Fernandez continues fighting, not only for himself, but for every catastrophically injured first responder who believes the system should never forget those who sacrificed everything.

On “Burn Again,” his second solo record as Warren Burns, Kansas City folk artist Danny Fischer works through difficult life experiences and comes out better on the other side.

In this episode, we're going to look at the ImpossibleQuest he's calling “The Witch's Test.” Now, mythology is full of witches, sorcerers, mages, and other magical types – but they don't all put heroes to specific tests. In Greek mythology, Circe and Medea do more to help Odysseus and Jason than to test them, and other witches like Grimhilde in Norse mythology are just interested in getting their own way, by whatever means necessary – the heroes are just obstacles to them. There are some, though, who take it upon themselves to make heroes prove themselves.

Army Veteran Manny Pasillas Lucio shares the combat story that changed his life forever.Born in Mexico and raised in California, Manny grew up navigating family tension, poverty, and the streets of Compton before deciding to join the Army after 9/11. After basic training at Fort Benning, he was sent to Fort Lewis, Washington, where he became part of a Stryker infantry unit and later joined a scout sniper platoon.In this episode of Urban Valor, Manny opens up about his deployment to Iraq, including missions in Mosul, Baghdad, Taji, and Baqubah. He describes small team missions, hunting high-value targets, taking fire, encountering IEDs, working alongside other units, and the daily fear that came with operating outside the wire.Manny also shares the devastating moment his Stryker was hit by an IED while returning to base. He woke up choking on smoke, heard screams around him, and later discovered his teammate Billy Ferris didn't survive the blast. That moment stayed with him long after Iraq.After coming home, Manny struggled with PTSD, anger, depression, suicidal thoughts, family separation, and the painful reality of trying to become a father while still carrying the war inside him. He talks about pulling a gun on his mother after being startled awake, snapping at family members, feeling lost after the military, and eventually using education, therapy, fatherhood, and veteran advocacy to rebuild his life.Chapters00:00 Waking Up After the IED Blast01:25 Manny's Childhood in Mexico02:48 Coming to the United States03:49 Growing Up in Compton08:08 Learning Independence as a Kid10:05 Wanting to Become a Soldier10:50 How 9/11 Changed Everything11:37 Trying to Join the Military14:04 Watching the Iraq Invasion Begin15:31 Leaving for Basic Training16:23 Arriving at Fort Benning18:44 Building Confidence in Basic Training22:11 Getting Sent to a Stryker Unit23:24 Joining 5-20 Infantry26:23 Becoming an RTO27:57 Learning From Hard NCOs32:19 Being Offered West Point32:58 Moving to Scout Sniper Platoon36:24 Deploying to Iraq37:22 Landing in Kuwait38:39 Arriving in Mosul40:17 Small Kill Team Missions41:11 First IED Strike in Iraq41:51 Hunting a High-Value Target43:30 Walking Outside the Wire44:51 Capturing the Target46:25 Moving From Mosul to Baghdad47:11 Searching for a Downed Pilot47:52 Taking Another IED Hit49:26 Billy Borrows Manny's Blanket51:09 Spotting an IED on the Road53:28 The Stryker Gets Hit54:16 Escaping the Crushed Vehicle56:08 Searching for Billy57:30 Evacuating the Wounded58:47 Sergeant Pucket's Words After the Blast59:18 Returning to Base in Shock1:01:15 The Loss of Billy Ferris1:05:04 Billy's Memorial1:06:14 Back to Combat Operations1:07:04 Working With CIA and Special Forces1:08:29 Testifying in the Green Zone1:11:05 Inside Saddam's Palace1:12:00 Arriving in Baqubah1:13:19 Taking Fire From All Sides1:14:47 Clearing the City1:15:13 The Scariest Missions of His Life1:17:20 Finding Iraqi Police With Mortars1:19:14 Ambush and Firefight1:20:38 Becoming Numb to Loss1:22:10 Fighting Al Qaeda in Baqubah1:23:34 Coming Home From Iraq1:25:22 Almost Going to Ranger Battalion1:26:02 Leaving the Army1:27:10 PTSD Hits at Home1:28:26 Snapping Around Family1:30:07 His Family Didn't Know What Was Happening1:34:12 Struggling in the Reserves1:36:19 Drinking, Trouble, and Feeling Invincible1:37:29 A Bad Experience at the VA1:40:42 His Daughter Saved His Life1:42:49 Using the GI Bill1:43:14 Studying Psychology to Understand PTSD1:44:53 “I Am Not My Mistakes”1:45:39 Breaking Cultural Cycles1:46:35 Becoming a Better Father1:47:20 Helping Veterans Today1:49:10 Reconnecting With Family1:51:20 Why Manny Puts Himself First Now1:52:02 Talking Honestly With His Daughter1:53:24 Advocating for Veterans and Families1:54:34 Manny's Message to Struggling Veterans

Buck breaks down the breaking news: Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder after the jury deliberated less than three hours in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at a Texas high school track meet. Anthony entered the wrong team tent, refused to leave, instigated the fight, and stabbed Metcalf in the heart. Buck calls the self-defense claims preposterous, details the clear evidence of murder, and addresses the disturbing racial tribalism and reactions outside the courthouse.

Darren introduces the pace setter framework and the three rules top performers follow to protect time for what actually moves the needle. Get more personal mentoring from Darren each day.
