If you want more time, better energy, and a calmer mind, this episode gives you a blueprint for achieving it. Host Dave Asprey talks with entrepreneur Jonathan Swanson, who explains how delegation functions as a powerful form of biohacking that frees cognitive load, improves sleep quality, protects your mitochondria from chronic stress, and opens space for longevity, brain optimization, supplements, fasting, ketosis, and the full Human Upgrade approach. Jonathan shows how eliminating low value tasks can reclaim hours every day and upgrade your human performance far more than people realize. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Jonathan Swanson is the Founder and Chairman of Thumbtack and Athena, two global companies he scaled to more than one thousand team members each. He has raised over seven hundred million dollars from leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Google Capital, and Blackstone. At Thumbtack he built one of the top marketplaces for local services. At Athena he created an elite academy for executive assistants and leadership development. Jonathan also served in the West Wing for the President's chief economic advisor, giving him rare insight into time leverage, decision making, and performance under pressure. Jonathan breaks down why overloaded to do lists elevate stress hormones, reduce neuroplasticity, interfere with recovery, and sabotage longevity goals. He explains how removing decision fatigue improves metabolism and cognitive function, how AI can accelerate human support instead of replacing it, and why even small forms of leverage increase ambition, resilience, and overall life satisfaction. Jonathan shares real examples from scaling billion dollar companies, building global teams, managing his own health routines, and designing systems that create more time for family, recovery, and meaningful work. You'll Learn: • Why leverage comes before ambition, not after, and how that shift changes what you believe is possible in your life • How Jonathan went from 16 to 18 hour days and polyphasic sleep to becoming a “time billionaire” through ruthless delegation • The cardinal sin of delegation, why doing it yourself feels faster at first, and how that belief traps you in busywork • The stages of delegation, from single tasks to projects to goals to “clairvoyant delegation,” where you first hear about a task when it is already done • How to start at any budget level, from using AI as a starter assistant, to hiring directly on global platforms, to working with a fully trained Athena EA • Practical ways an assistant can support biohacking, sleep optimization, supplements, lab tracking, family logistics, and even creative life projects • How to build trust, set boundaries, and protect security when you work with remote assistants who have access to sensitive parts of your life• Why human plus AI assistants beat AI alone, and how the next generation of support will supercharge human performance instead of replacing it • How to think about your hourly rate so you stop doing tasks that kill your metabolism, focus, and long term longevity Thank you to our sponsors! -BEYOND Conference 2026 | Register now at https://beyondconference.com/ -BrainTap | Go to http://braintap.com/dave to get $100 off the BrainTap Power Bundle. -Essentia | Go to https://myessentia.com/dave and use code DAVE for $100 off The Dave Asprey Upgrade. -Generation Lab | Go to http://generationlab.com/, use code Dave20 for $20 off, and see what your body's really doing behind the surface.

Unser heutiger Gast hat Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der Universität Hohenheim studiert und anschließend seinen Master of Science in Business Management an der Universität Würzburg gemacht, inklusive Stationen im internationalen Business an der Universidad de Deusto in Spanien. Nach dem Studium sammelte er erste Erfahrung in der Strategieberatung und im Business Development, unter anderem bei Simon-Kucher, bei BCG Digital Ventures und später bei Westwing, wo er strategische Projekte in einem dynamisch wachsenden Umfeld verantwortete. Doch dann kam der Punkt, an dem er beschloss, seine Energie in ein ganz anderes Thema zu stecken: mentale Gesundheit. Auslöser war eine persönliche Erfahrung in seinem engen Umfeld und die Erkenntnis, dass der Zugang zu psychologischer Unterstützung in unserer Gesellschaft, vor allem aber im Arbeitsumfeld, noch immer viel zu schwer und stigmatisiert ist. 2019 gründete er zusammen mit seinem Team nilo.health, eine digitale Plattform für mentale Gesundheit am Arbeitsplatz. Seitdem hat sich viel getan: nilo unterstützt heute über 500 Unternehmen europaweit dabei, mentale Gesundheit in der Unternehmenskultur zu verankern – und ist nach dem Zusammenschluss mit Likeminded nun europäischer Marktführer. Seit mehr als acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in über 500 Gesprächen mit mehr als 600 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat und was sich weiter verändern muss. Wie schaffen wir es, die mentale Gesundheit endlich aus der Tabuzone zu holen und in Unternehmen als echten Erfolgsfaktor zu begreifen? Was braucht es, damit Führungskräfte nicht nur über Wellbeing sprechen, sondern selbst Vorbilder für gesunde Selbstführung werden? Und wie können Plattformen wie nilo dazu beitragen, dass psychologische Unterstützung niedrigschwelliger, skalierbarer – und vor allem menschlicher wird? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Deshalb suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work – heute mit Jonas Keil. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

Aaron Alexander & Gregory Alba dive into the sharp, romantic, endlessly quotable teen classic that helped define a generation of 90s/early-2000s cinema. Join Aaron & Greg as they revisit Gil Junger's modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, starring Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight, A Knight's Tale) in his breakout role as the rebellious and charming Patrick Verona, and Julia Stiles (Save the Last Dance, Dexter) as fiercely independent Kat Stratford. The film also features Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception, Looper) as Cameron, Larisa Oleynik (The Secret World of Alex Mack) as Bianca, and David Krumholtz (The Santa Clause, Numb3rs) and Allison Janney (I, Tonya, The West Wing) in unforgettable supporting roles. Aaron & Greg break down the film's most iconic and beloved moments: Patrick's legendary “Can't Take My Eyes Off You” serenade on the bleachers, Kat's emotional reading of the poem that gives the movie its name, Bianca punching Joey Donner in the face, Cameron's sweet-but-awkward attempts to win Bianca's heart, and the Stratford family's hilariously strict house rules. They explore how the film blends whip-smart humor, heartfelt coming-of-age storytelling, and timeless themes of trust, identity, and self-expression — all wrapped in peak 90s energy and one of the greatest high-school soundtracks of all time.

On today's podcast:1) Kevin Hassett may not have the ability to deliver the rapid pace of interest rate cuts President Trump would like, even if he is approved as the next Federal Reserve Chair, said Gregory Peters, co-chief investment officer at PGIM Fixed Income. Peters made the remarks amid rising talk that Hassett, the White House National Economic Council Director, may ease monetary policy aggressively to please Trump if he is picked to run the Fed. But the PGIM fund manager suggested that — since Fed rate decisions are ultimately decided by committee — Hassett won’t have the power to deliver on his own. Peters’ remarks were in response to a Financial Times report that bond investors, including those on the borrowing advisory committee, have voiced concerns to the US Treasury about Hassett’s potential appointment as the Fed chief.2) President Trump’s aides and allies are discussing the possibility of making Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent the top White House economic adviser — in addition to his current job — should the president pick Kevin Hassett as the next chair of the Federal Reserve, according to people familiar with the matter. Tapping Bessent to lead the White House’s National Economic Council would allow him to consolidate oversight of Trump’s economic policies if Hassett — the current NEC director — becomes the next leader of the US central bank, an announcement Trump has hinted at in recent days. If Bessent is also named to the NEC, he would become the chief arbiter of the administration’s economic portfolio spanning the purview of both the Treasury Department and White House. It would also give Bessent a West Wing office, granting him even more physical proximity to the president.3) The Pentagon watchdog concluded that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth risked endangering American troops and the US mission against Houthi rebels in Yemen when he shared attack plans on the Signal messaging app, a person familiar with the matter said. The acting Pentagon inspector general’s classified report, delivered to a Senate committee yesterday, said Hegseth violated government policies by using his personal phone and Signal to transmit the information, which was marked “Secret.” The person describing the contents of the report asked not to be identified discussing private information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unforgettable Lessons, Laughs, and Life on The Sandy Show.  Episode Description Can a single day in a hospital change how you see life, love, and forgiveness? That's the question at the heart of this episode of The Sandy Show, where Sandy McIlree and Tricia dive deep into the emotional impact of binge-worthy TV, family quirks, and the little things that make life memorable. This week, Sandy shares his newfound obsession with “The Pit,” an HBO Max hospital drama that's mesmerizing and brilliantly written—even for someone who's never been a fan of the genre. The show's unique format, where each episode covers just one hour of a single day, hooks viewers with its intense character development and gripping storylines. Sandy recalls a powerful moment: “When someone passes away, you say four things: ‘I love you. Thank you. I forgive you. Please forgive me.' I thought that was so cool. I had never heard that before.” Tricia and Sandy also reflect on how pets mirror their owners' personalities, sharing heartfelt stories about their dog Shiny's protective nature and how three-quarters of dog owners see themselves in their pets. The episode takes a fun turn with rapid-fire Q&A, revealing Tricia's favorite movie (“F1—so freaking good!”), her least favorite workout (“Side lunges did me in. Broke my knee.”), and her dream Christmas gift (“Maybe I'll send you to the massage store, Sandy!”). Listeners are treated to “the good stuff”—uplifting stories like a Utah man's Christmas-lit truck raising awareness for men's mental health, a Georgia lottery winner's lucky day, and a Chicago cancer survivor's journey to every major sports stadium in North America. Notable quotes and memorable moments:“The writing is unbelievable…right up there with West Wing style writing.”“I don't want to end. Imagine how traumatized Landry and I were when we thought we had two more to go and then it was over.”“God doesn't want me to have that much money. He wants me to have it though.”“I'll never do a side lunge again. So I guess I'm never going to achieve my Carrie Underwood legs.”This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, laughter, and real-life wisdom—perfect for anyone who loves great storytelling, relatable family moments, and a dose of positivity.

Bienvenidos, cinéfilos hierberos, a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, cine, televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar. Hoy continuamos con nuestro ciclo dedicado a Aaron Sorkin y nos sumergiremos en el que fue su segundo guion original convertido en película: MI QUERIDO PRESIDENTE (1995).  Aaron Sorkin llegó a MI QUERIDO PRESIDENTE casi por capricho de las estrellas de Hollywood. Todo comenzó con una idea sencilla de Robert Redford: "el presidente se fuga con su novia". Redford, inicialmente adjunto para protagonizar, reclutó a Sorkin tras leer su tratamiento, pero el proceso de escritura fue un torbellino personal. Aislado en una suite del Four Seasons en Los Ángeles durante semanas, Sorkin confesó haber compuesto el guion bajo el influjo diario del crack, lo que explica por qué su borrador inicial superaba las 385 páginas –más extenso que un tratado presidencial, pero con menos protocolos.  Mi Querido Presidente es, en esencia, una comedia romántica con pedigrí presidencial. Seguimos a Andrew Shepherd, un viudo presidente demócrata con una aprobación del 63% y una hija adolescente, que se enamora de Sydney Ellen Wade, una lobista ambientalista feroz interpretada por Bening. Mientras Shepherd maniobra para aprobar un proyecto de ley contra el crimen –sacrificando cláusulas sobre control de armas para ganar votos–, su romance con Wade se convierte en munición para el opositor republicano Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss), quien ataca su moralidad y valores familiares. Pero lo que eleva esta historia por encima del cliché romántico es el toque sorkiniano: diálogos como ráfagas de metralleta, personajes de inteligencia quirúrgica que debaten ética, medio ambiente y libertad de expresión con una elegancia que hace que la política suene casi poética. No es solo un "chico conoce chica" en la Casa Blanca; es un tapiz donde el romance se entremezcla con comentarios agudos sobre el bipartidismo, el lobby y el precio de la integridad, todo envuelto en un humor que roza lo ingenioso sin caer en lo pedante. Para Sorkin, este filme representó el salto definitivo hacia su obsesión por los pasillos del poder, consolidándolo como el cronista de la utopía política americana. Martin Sheen, aquí jefe de gabinete, ascendería a presidente en The West Wing, un rol que revitalizó su carrera y lo convirtió en sinónimo de liderazgo idealizado. MI QUERIDO PRESIDENTE es un unicornio en el paisaje cinematográfico, recordándonos que, a veces, el amor y la política pueden coexistir en armonía... al menos en la gran pantalla. ¿Listos para acompañarnos a desmenuzarla y averiguar por qué es tan genial?Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia. ¡Que lo disfruten!#Sorkin⁠ ⁠#MichaelDouglas⁠ ⁠#RobReiner⁠ ⁠#Cine

Only in California would an Attorney General accused of misusing campaign contributions connected to a federal bribery scheme consider running for governor.

It's an improbable path, from al-Qaeda to the West Wing. The U.S. had once designated Ahmed al-Sharaa a terrorist. He fought U.S. forces in Iraq and was even imprisoned. Sharaa spent years in northwest Syria leading an Islamic militant group that was affiliated with al-Qaeda until he cut those ties. Last year, al-Sharaa led rebel forces that took down Syria's dictator Bashar al-Assad, ending decades of repression. As Sharaa looks to gain international favor and trust while rebuilding the country and its security, the 43-year-old met with President Trump on Monday, in the first visit by a Syrian head of state to the White House. Afterward, Sharaa sat down with The Washington Post for an exclusive interview to discuss the historic meeting, the future of Syria and his plans to work with Americans he once fought. Today on “Post Reports,” Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with the Post's international correspondent Susannah George about Syria, al-Sharaa and their conversation. Today's show was produced by Elana Gordon with help from Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Alan Sipress. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to examine the one thing Trump can't spin: a morning of losses he instantly tries to recast as wins. Wolff brings the voices inside the West Wing, describing Trump pacing between TVs, hunting for a villain, mangling the numbers, and turning Mamdani into his next made-to-order enemy. They cut through the chaos—shutdown brinkmanship, Prop 50 conspiracies, the Cuomo curveball, and a GOP leadership frozen in his glare—to reveal a president who can't adapt, only blame, and a movement suddenly feeling less inevitable than it claims. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jerome Loughridge is the inaugural Executive Director of the Aspen-Kern Program on Leadership & Character in Higher Education, a new national initiative of the Aspen Institute. Having previously served as chief of staff at both a major public and a national private research university, Jerome will lead a cohort of US college presidents who are new to their roles as they seek to reclaim the importance of character formation for democratic citizenship and greater human flourishing. Jerome returned to higher education after a fifteen-year career in the energy sector, where he led both private equity-backed and publicly-traded companies across North America. A native of rural Oklahoma, Jerome earned his interdisciplinary BA at Baylor University (Phi Beta Kappa) and attended Harvard University as a Truman Scholar prior to beginning his energy career as an international derivatives trader on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). In response to 9/11, Jerome competed for a White House Fellowship – a process that resulted in his being appointed as one of twelve young professionals to the Bush Administration and his assignment as special assistant to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. In that capacity, he worked on post-war Iraqi reconstruction, splitting time between the West Wing, the Pentagon and Baghdad. Jerome's post-White House professional roles included leadership of portfolio companies with Connecticut-based Wexford Capital and New York-based Ziff Brothers Investments. Among those were the launch of Great White Energy Services, where he was chief operating officer; the creation of Black Mesa Energy Services, where he was president; the formation of Legend Energy Services, where he was executive chairman; and the establishment of Seventy Seven Energy from Chesapeake Oilfield Services, where he served as president of Great Plains Oilfield and remained as an executive through the company's acquisition. Jerome served as CEO of NextStream, a joint venture between GE-Baker Hughes and private partners to bring new technology to the upstream energy sector. Jerome has held board positions with companies in Dongying, China, and Alberta, Canada, in addition to various firms in the U.S. In March 2019, while serving as an energy-sector executive, Jerome was nominated by Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, and unanimously confirmed by the Senate, as Secretary of Health and Mental Health in order to bring business principles to the work of government agencies. In his volunteer Cabinet role, he was responsible for driving Medicaid expansion in the State and eventually helped lead the Governor's Covid-19 Task Force responsible for Oklahoma's response to the global coronavirus pandemic. Jerome is currently completing a Master of Studies at the University of Oxford where he is reading practical ethics in the Department of Philosophy and the Uehiro Institute Oxford. He chairs the Honors College board at Baylor University and regularly teaches at the collegiate, community and international levels, primarily in East Africa and Latin America, on faith, public policy and leadership. Jerome and his wife live on an acreage outside Oklahoma City and have two boys.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to posit the president's next astonishing move: Donald Trump's plan to demolish the West Wing of the White House. They trace how that impulse connects with the East Wing teardown, a $300 million ballroom project, and the greater ambition of remaking the presidency in his image. Along the way, they explore how Trump's real estate instincts are emerging as his most effective shock-and-awe tactic. With the foreign policy collapse in China, the polling crisis at home, and the disappearance of oversight in Congress, this episode asks: As Trump tears down the White House, what remains of the presidency?

President Donald Trump's privately funded plan to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom has Democrats like Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren fuming about “luxury” while they've shut down the government. Presidents have remodeled the White House for over a century—from Harry Truman's gut renovation to Barack Obama's basketball court—yet only Trump gets scorn. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the hypocrisy on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “Do we really want to know what belittles the White House? I mean, we're just coming off the Biden administration, where cocaine was found in a carrel in the West Wing. … Do you remember when Barack Obama was president? He brought in a whole cadre of Muslim Brotherhood people that were tied to Hamas Islamic terrorism. He brought an entourage, in 2012, into the White House. I remember, 2016, he thought it would be neat to have his favorite rappers in the White House. Kendrick Lamar—“Pimp a Butterfly.” Remember those lyrics about killing the police in the White House? That rapper—‘kill po-po,' as he said.  “We could go on with the embarrassing incidents. I won't mention what transpired between Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton right off the Oval Office in the presidential laboratory. But nonetheless, the ballroom was needed. 

In this lively episode of "The Yard Sign," Florida's original political podcast, hosts Johnny Torres and Anibal Cabrera dive into a mix of humor, personal anecdotes, and political commentary. The duo kicks off with lighthearted banter about Anibal's recovery from illness, joking about his "little blue pills" and pharmacy mishaps, before sharing stories of their co-hosts' absences and a funny encounter with another host's girlfriend. They discuss a scandal in the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office involving plagiarism and cheating on FBI courses, sparked by a scorned wife's email, praising Sheriff Chad Chronister's handling while noting the systemic issues. The conversation shifts to generational differences, with Gen Alpha emerging as surprisingly conservative, and the decline of nightlife as younger crowds prefer daytime raves. They lament aging politicians like Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi clinging to power, advocating for term limits and retirement. The hosts also touch on pop culture, from binge-watching "The Newsroom" to JK Rowling's triumphs, and express excitement over Trump's second term, joking dreaming up White House additions like a putting green. The episode wraps with a mockery of the "No Kings" protests, celebrating America's rejection of monarchy, and a fast-food debate crowning Burger King's superiority. Anibal shares his wife's a cappella competition in Ohio, and the hosts tease upcoming political events and guest appearances, including potential county commission candidates. Packed with laughs, local insights, and unfiltered takes, this episode is a rollercoaster of Tampa flair and political spice.   **Topic Chapters with Timestamps:**   - 00:00:22 - Intro and Anibal's Health Banter   - 00:02:06 - Co-Host Absences and Girlfriend Stories   - 00:05:25 - Hillsborough Sheriff Plagiarism Scandal   - 00:09:15 - TikTok, Gen Alpha, and Nightlife Decline   - 00:16:12 - Aging Politicians and Term Limits   - 00:21:40 - Pop Culture: Newsroom, West Wing, JK Rowling   - 00:46:01 - Trump's Second Term and White House Ideas   - 01:04:17 - "No Kings" Protests and Fast Food Debate   - 01:17:20 - Parking Woes and Tampa Food Scene   - 01:19:15 - A Cappella, Political Events, and Closing     **YouTube Tags:**   The Yard Sign, Florida politics, Tampa podcast, Hillsborough Sheriff scandal, Chad Chronister, Gen Alpha conservative, term limits, Trump second term, No Kings protests, Burger King vs McDonalds, Tampa nightlife, JK Rowling, a cappella competition, political podcast, Johnny Torres, Anibal Cabrera

Anthony Scaramucci joins the Beast's Joanna Coles for a no-holds-barred look inside Trump's turbulent second term. Trump's former first-term Communications Director and longtime Trump confidant-turned-critic calls Trump “the wicked witch of the West Wing” and predicts the moment he finally melts. Scaramucci revisits his infamous 11 days in the White House, missing his son's birth, and the cost of blind loyalty. He tears into the GOP's pretenders to Trump's throne from J.D. Vance's obsequiousness to Marco Rubio's shape-shifting. Coles keeps the chaos sharp, pulling out Scaramucci's rawest insights on power, ego, and redemption. And it all builds to one cutting question: if Trump's the wicked witch of the West Wing, who's bold enough to throw the water? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
