Michael Flatley is the most famous Irish dancer in the world, rising to stardom for his leading roles in Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. Colm Flynn travels to meet Flatley at home, where he reflects on the highs of his remarkable career and the personal experiences that shaped his outlook on life and faith. Born in Chicago to Irish parents, Flatley grew up surrounded by music, dance, and the values of hard work and perseverance. His groundbreaking performance in Riverdance at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 brought Irish dance to a global audience, and his later productions redefined what Irish traditional dance could be. In recent years, Michael Flatley's life was upended when he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. He describes the diagnosis as a moment that forced him to re-examine what truly matters: family, love, and belief in God. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world.

Christmas isn't just about the crib or even the cross—it's also about the crown. The prophet Isaiah predicted a coming king from the line of Jesse. In this message, Pastor Lutzer walks us through this prophecy and shows us how Jesus fulfilled it.

The people of Jesus' day were ruled by the Roman Empire. Some saw in Jesus the political deliverer that had been foretold. In this message from Isaiah 61, Pastor Lutzer celebrates why Jesus had come to deliver those who needed it most—including the Gentiles. His deliverance is from the very power of sin.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the breaking news regarding the Pentagon's official agreement with xAI at the Department Of War, utilizing AI for militarism worldwide. This agreement comes months after President Trump signed an AI militarism deal with Saudi Arabia and Qatar alongside Palantir's Alex Karp and Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, Larry Fink of BlackRock, Elon Musk and many other technocrats. As we've warned for decades, social media was always meant to be the surveillance Trojan Horse to bring in social credit. Where people voluntarily give up their private information for a large database which is then used to determine via machine learning what kind of person you are. China did this with Sesame Credit years ago via WeChat. Now, it's being done for the Great Reset agenda which is rapidly being put into place both by the left and the right. XMoney which claims to be anti-establishment works in collaboration with Visa. X is being registered as a bank. Its algorithm is based in social credit. Elon Musk wants to put chips in your brain attaches to a Pentagon funded mesh network. He says AI will destroy humanity, yet he's the main person developing it. He says AI will take over most jobs, but don't worry, you can have UBI (Universal Basic Income) which is exactly what the WEF is pushing. He's creating a hive mind with Starlink. Now he's integrating xAI with the Pentagon. Do you understand what's happening yet? This all happens the same week that the US puts forward plans to demand 5 years of social media history to enter the US alongside 10 years of emails, biometrics and photo metadata? The same month that the US government announces it is putting facial recognition and license reading cameras on all highways and within all cities to track all drivers all the time to "track suspicious activity?" The same month that multiple states mandate a digital ID for internet usage? All the while, the government is attesting to demand age verification checks for VPN usage. This isn't a coincidence. With RealID among digital IDs mandated worldwide to fix problems the state created in the first place as well as Basel 3 bail in policies at 63 central banks, the digital prison is becoming more inescapable. On top of this, Chicago and New York City are pushing government run grocery stores and want to push food rations based on your digital fingerprint. Don't live in fear, reject this and prepare yourselves accordingly so you aren't dependent on banks and grocery stores or you will quickly be left behind. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

That’s not a typo – 5 degrees Celsius of potential error. Only 19 pristine Class 1 sites remain capable of measuring actual ambient air temperature accurately. The rest? Located on airport runways, walled gardens, next to main roads, and inside solar farms. Places where concrete, engines, and infrastructure create artificial heat islands that have nothing to do with atmospheric temperature changes. The Met Office database also contains data from over 100 stations that don’t exist. They’re using “estimated” temperatures from unidentified neighboring stations and presenting it as real data. When journalist Ray Sanders started asking questions through Freedom of Information requests, the Met Office dismissed them as “vexatious” and “not in the public interest.” After media inquiries, the Met Office quietly removed estimated data from 3 non-existent stations. Of 17 new sites opened since April 2024, nearly 65% were immediately placed in the worst quality categories. UK Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance is calling scrutiny of this mess “misinformation” that weakens trust in science. Perhaps what actually weakens trust in science is using temperature readings from imaginary thermometers next to jet engines to justify trillion-pound Net Zero policies that reshape the entire economy. The data might be fine for tomorrow’s weather forecast. Using it to revolutionize Britain’s energy infrastructure? That requires stations that actually exist. https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/2003537920624677163?s=20 https://twitter.com/JeffPasquino/status/2003667251426197766?s=20   dollars” already – language and words are important – but this time the difference will be to the benefit of stablecoin holders. “But if it is pegged to the dollar, why will it matter?” you might wonder. That's a great question. The difference will be that today's bank accounts are in Federal Reserve “dollars”, which are debt-based, inflationary and losing value at a rapid pace. The new digital dollar stablecoins will be backed by gold or other assets (yet to be defined, but it's clearly how they're heading) and the purchasing power will go up. This is the first step out of the debt-based system enslaving most Americans – and by extension of the world reserve currency, most everyone in the Western world. People will eventually see that the asset-backed “digital dollar” is far superior to the Federal Reserve dollar. Once noticed, stablecoin dollars will be hoarded while Fed dollars will flood the market (Gresham's Law). No one will want the dying dollar -or any debt denominated in it – and much like the rise of gold and silver now against the Fed dollar, the digital dollar will also rise in value. Then everyone will transition, by choice, to an asset-backed currency without even knowing why they want those new dollars – they will just know that they hold value better. In other words, the “digital dollar” will actually be a store of value – evidence that it is actual money, not just a currency. Fix the money, fix the world.

For his long association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is facing a long list of repercussions that seem to have no end.

Imran Ahmed of the Center for Countering Digital Hate is also on the list. He had a very specific mission. Want to know what his organization’s annual priorities were? Internal documents show “Kill Musk’s Twitter” at the top of the list. Not “reduce hate speech” or “improve online safety.” Kill Twitter. Destroy the platform entirely because Elon wouldn’t play ball with their censorship demands. These groups operated by labeling anything they disagreed with as “misinformation” or “hate speech,” then lobbying governments to force platforms to remove it. Clare Melford’s Global Disinformation Index used U.S. taxpayer money to create scoring systems that effectively blacklisted conservative American news outlets, steering advertisers away from them to financially strangle speech they opposed. Breton personally sent threatening letters to Elon warning of consequences under EU law right before his live interview with Trump during the campaign. Now the banned activists are claiming this is an “authoritarian attack on free speech” and calling it “immoral, unlawful, and un-American.” These are the same people who built entire careers pressuring tech platforms to silence voices they found problematic. Suddenly they care deeply about censorship when it affects them. Free speech isn’t negotiable.

The Somalians have nice cars like BMWs and Mercedes @Brookerteejones “Here in Minnesota, a local realtor reached out to me to tell me about another way that Somalians are scamming Minnesotans out of their taxpayer dollars. In her community alone, Somalians have bought up over 455 homes. They buy these homes claiming they’re turning these homes into home health care centers. She says the way we know Somalians have bought these homes is because all of a sudden extremely nice cars start showing up. Mercedes, BMWs, the nicest cars are parked in the driveway. She said, by law, the state will not come out and inspect these homes and make sure these homes even have clients living in these homes. — Somalians have bought that home and they’re using that as a home health care center. She said these homes can even take people in who’ve just been released from jail and the neighborhood does not need to know about this. But she says, many of these homes do not even have clients in them. But the state is writing them checks every month for the clients that the Somalians say are in these homes. These Somalians are making millions of dollars off of these homes every year.” “The Somalians have figured out exactly the perfect plan as to how to scam Minnesota taxpayers out of their money. They are banking on this making millions of dollars and the government here in Minnesota is too lazy to go and check it out and to see if there’s even clients living in these homes. The fraud in Minnesota is so deep” https://twitter.com/C_3C_3/status/2003104576766140813?s=20 Democrats from Minnesota, Ohio, Maine, and Boston Embrace Somalians Democrats across the country are praising and supporting Somali migrants, despite growing evidence of massive anti-social fraud by the foreign arrivals. As millions of dollars in more fraud and theft of state and federal welfare funding are uncovered in Ohio, Minnesota, and other places committed at the hands of Somali migrants, democrats are falling all over themselves to show their unmitigated support for the fraudsters.

Recall that Mark Zaid represented Eric Ciaramella, the Trump-Ukraine impeachment ‘whistleblower.' Zaid also represents intelligence officials and other Deep State actors. Earlier this year, President Trump stripped the security clearances of at least eight corrupt ‘antagonists' who worked for Biden or targeted him for ruin over the last several years: Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken Former NatSec Advisor Jake Sullivan New York Attorney General Letitia James Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Biden's Deputy AG Lisa Monaco Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann Deep State lawyer Mark Zaid Norm Eisen – the man behind all the lawfare against Trump Source: thegatewaypundit.com Jamie Raskin Reintroduces Radical “Ranked-Choice Voting” Scheme Ahead of Midterms in Latest Bid to Rig Future Elections Radical left-wing Jamie Raskin is once again pushing a sweeping overhaul of America's voting system, this time by reintroducing a federal mandate for so-called “ranked-choice voting” (RCV) just as the country barrels toward another high-stakes midterm election cycle. Raskin posted a video on X on Monday, pitching ranked-choice voting as a cure-all for American politics. The video was released after he reintroduced H.R. 6589, a bill that would mandate ranked-choice voting in elections for the U.S. House and Senate nationwide. Under the system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and ballots are “redistributed” to remaining candidates until someone crosses the 50 percent threshold. Raskin even praised races where candidates who finished second in the first round ultimately “catapulted ahead” after vote redistribution. In Alaska, where RCV flipped a Republican seat to Democrat Mary Peltola despite 60% of voters backing GOP candidates, the system exhausted ballots and ignored second choices for top vote-getters. In New York, socialist Zohran Mamdani led on election night with 43.5% of first-choice votes, but after several rounds of eliminations and redistributions, he was declared the winner with 56%, while Andrew Cuomo finished with 44%. A study of Maine elections found that, of 98 recent ranked choice elections, 60 percent of the victors did not win by a majority of the total votes cast. RCV opens doors to fraud and manipulation. The multi-round tabulation delays create gaps ripe for accusations of tampering, while exhausted ballots mean winners often lack true majority support. Sites like RCVScam.com expose how it lets initial also-rans steal victories, undermining “one person, one vote.” In 2025 alone, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and South Carolina prohibited ranked-choice voting, joining 11 other states for a total of 17 bans. It is a scam, and Americans should push back hard. Source: thegatewaypundit.com  Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid To Deploy National Guard In Chicago The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Trump’s emergency request to allow National Guard troops to be deployed in Chicago, dealing a setback to the admin’s attempts to curtail high crime rates in major cities. The 6-3 decision left in force a judge's ruling that has blocked the deployment since Oct. 9. “At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the majority said. The government hadn't shown the president could legally “federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.”   Justice Samuel Alito dissented from the high court's ruling Tuesday, saying he had “serious doubts” about the majority's reasoning. “The Court fails to explain why the President's inherent constitutional authority to protect federal officers and property is not sufficient to justify the use of National Guard members in the relevant area for precisely that purpose,” Alito wrote, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a separate dissent, contending that the challengers to the National Guard deployment – the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago – had forfeited the argument about the meaning of “regular forces” by failing to present that issue in the lower courts. Trump contends military force is needed to protect federal immigration agents from what he claims are violent protests.   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2003592327244447867?s=20   cause the President to use the US military more than the National Guard”. The Supreme Court just admitted that Trump has the authority to invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass Posse Comitatus and send the troops to Chicago, and any other city he wants. Trump tried to exhaust every legal avenue possible before resulting to the Insurrection Act, but the Dems resisted and refused to cooperate. Sounds to me like Trump just got the green light. INVOKE THE INSURRECTION ACT! https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2003681206148251711?s=20  THAT'S the hard part. Especially when the MSM are compromised and telling the public that Trump is literally Hitler and is going to unleash a military dictatorship. This had to be done delicately, as not to cause panic. The public must be psychologically prepared. That's why Trump has been giving us soft disclosure about the Insurrection Act for a long time. They have been mentally preparing us for what they knew had to be done, by showing us why it needed to be done. Here he is back in September addressing all his Generals, and reminded them how Washington and Lincoln used the military to keep the peace.

Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon break down the biggest NFL and College Football Week reactions, playoff implications, and CFP first-round results as the postseason picture comes into focus. We start with the Chicago Bears’ stunning comeback win over the Green Bay Packers, what it says about Chicago’s resilience, and why the Packers are suddenly fighting for their playoff lives with injuries piling up and uncertainty around Jordan Love. We also dive into the Jacksonville Jaguars’ dominant road win over the Denver Broncos, Trevor Lawrence playing the best football of his career, and whether the Jags are being overlooked as a real AFC playoff threat. Plus — the Pittsburgh Steelers vs Detroit Lions wild finish, what Detroit’s loss means for their playoff hopes, and why Pittsburgh may be headed for another early postseason exit despite winning three straight. We break down Rams vs Seahawks with major NFC playoff implications, Puka Nacua’s historic stretch, and which team can actually be trusted in January. Brock Purdy earns the NFL Game Ball as the San Francisco 49ers stay red-hot and the Indianapolis Colts continue to slide. In College Football, we react to the College Football Playoff first round, including Alabama vs Oklahoma, how in-game adjustments flipped the game, and why coaching made the difference. We also break down Miami vs Texas A&M, the Aggies’ offensive struggles, and Mark Fletcher’s takeover performance earning this week’s CFB Helmet Sticker. Ole Miss and Oregon handle business as expected in lopsided CFP matchups.

The Packers controlled every aspect of Sunday's game against the Bears—until they didn't. In this raw, emotional episode, we break down the gut-wrenching late-game collapse that left every Packer fan feeling that sickening 2014 NFC Championship déjà vu the moment Chicago recovered that onside kick. A retired Marine Corps officer calls in with a powerful message about warrior spirit and mental toughness that completely shifted our perspective on what this team is missing. We dive deep into why the NFLPA's practice restrictions have created a league of talented athletes who can't handle adversity, exploring how elite performers in every other field—from bodybuilders to MMA fighters to Navy SEALs—are broken down and rebuilt to handle exactly these moments. The conversation gets heated about Matt LaFleur's ability to motivate, Rich Bisacchia's special teams disasters, and whether Bears fans have any right to gloat after barely beating our decimated roster. With two winnable games remaining against the Ravens and Vikings, this team has a choice: find their heart or go home. We also address the Keyshawn Nixon situation, the corner position moving forward, and why talent alone will never win championships. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

HERE WE GO! Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals. The Bears may no longer be in Chicago, and OU sucks. Are Christmas PJ's overrated or underrated? Is the Pizza Pizza better than the Magic bullet? Enjoy another episode and keep on laughing!

Christmas Eve Stakes and a Narrow Path The Detroit Lions fly to Minneapolis with a slim, real path. Win at the Vikings on Christmas. Win at the Bears in Chicago. Hope the Packers lose out. That is the math. It is not pretty, but it exists. The other motivator is pride. Going from the best record in the NFC last year to the basement in the NFC North will not sit well with Dan Campbell or his locker room. The Lions are favored. They should play like a team with playoff vitality. Context matters in December in the NFL. Detroit needs urgency and clean execution. The margin is small. The opponent is wounded, not harmless. Vikings Quarterback Shuffle: Max Brosmer Time Minnesota ruled out JJ McCarthy on Tuesday afternoon. A hairline fracture in his hand ends his season. In comes Max Brosmer. He is an undrafted rookie with one start and mop-up reps. He has an arm and workable accuracy. He lost to the Seahawks, which happens to many. He is not Aaron Rodgers or Matthew Stafford. He is not even a fully healthy Jordan Love. That is a reprieve for a Detroit defense that has seen a run of top quarterbacks. The Vikings are battered elsewhere. Christian Darrisaw, their left tackle, is out. They have shut players down after elimination, similar to how the Lions just shut down Kirby Joseph. The depth chart is thin, but the skill talent around Brosmer still gives structure. Detroit must turn those absences into pressure and turnovers. A Defense That Hasn't Allowed a Passing TD in Six Games Here is the problem for the Lions offense. The Vikings have not allowed a passing touchdown in six straight games. That is the first time a team has done it since the 1989 Browns. This is a legit unit. They blitzed the Lions to great effect in the first meeting. They hammered the A gap. They made life hard for Jared Goff. Detroit's passing game has been inconsistent. Goff has been pretty good, but the interior pass protection must be better. Answers versus the A-gap pressure are non-negotiable. Quick decisions. Firm guards and center. Defined hot routes. Detroit Lions Podcast coverage this week centers on interior protection, blitz answers, and a battered Vikings offense. If the Lions cannot block inside, points will be scarce again. What It Means in Minneapolis and Beyond This sets up a grind. Expect Detroit to lean on pass rush against a backup left tackle and an inexperienced quarterback. Expect Minnesota to heat up Goff and test Detroit's A-gap integrity. Field position matters. So do red zone calls when passing touchdowns are hard to find. Win, and the Lions keep the playoff thread intact and roll into Chicago with purpose. Lose, and last place looms. The formula is simple. Protect the pocket inside. Tackle after the catch. Finish drives with touchdowns. It is Christmas in the NFL. Style points can wait. The Lions need a road win to keep the season alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7n9Z9vYgPU #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #a-gappressure #interiorpassprotection #jaredgoff #maxbrosmer #jjmccarthy #christiandarrisaw #backuplefttackle #undraftedrookie #sixstraightgames #passingtouchdown Learn more about your ad choices.

Back-to-Back Gut Punch Sets Up Christmas Stakes The Detroit Lions let a win slip in Week 16. Pittsburgh beat them 29-24. Detroit fell to 8-7 and took its first back-to-back loss since 2022. The Lions had first and goal at the 1 with seconds left and still walked off with a defeat. This was not a no-show. The Steelers looked like an AFC playoff team and strung together a suffocating, clock-chewing drive. Yet the chance was there. The miss stings. Now the NFL calendar points to Christmas Day. Vikings on Netflix. Detroit must win out. Green Bay must lose out. The Packers draw the Ravens next and finish with the Vikings. The Lions close with Minnesota and Chicago. The path exists, but it is narrow. The latest Detroit Lions Podcast lays out why the margin keeps shrinking. Third-Quarter Vanish, Red-Zone Regret The same issue keeps surfacing. The third quarter turns into a freezer. Negative yards. Empty possessions. Rhythm gone. Then a desperate rally follows and the game tightens late. That script played out again. The offense disappeared for long stretches, then reached the doorstep and failed to finish. First and goal at the 1. No points. That sequence defines the afternoon as much as any explosive play. Situational football hurt. Short-yardage execution hurt. The Lions have been one of the league's best at bouncing back after losses. Fifteen straight wins after a defeat had been the NFL's top mark. That streak and the margin for error evaporated in Pittsburgh. Run-Game Mechanics Under the Microscope The podcast dug into the run fits and assignments. Too often Detroit left the backside end unaccounted for after motion. An H-back would be aligned to help and then move away at the snap. The edge stayed naked and got knifed. Early on, Anthony Firkser aligned in the backfield to the left with Alex Highsmith outside. Motion pulled Firkser away, and Highsmith charged straight through. On other calls, guards were asked to pull across the formation and reach Highsmith. That is a tough ask against that burst and angle. There was a bright spot up front. Kingsley Accucon made his first career start and graded as the Lions' top run blocker. He showed promise. The contrast with earlier rotations that leaned on Tristan Colon at left guard and center raises timing questions. The unit needs continuity and cleaner answers on the edge. Defense Bent, Then Broke; Christmas in Minneapolis Pittsburgh's marathon march felt like ten minutes of scrimmage control. The defense gave up chunk runs late. Tackling and edge integrity sagged in the fourth quarter. Detroit never flipped the script in real time and paid for it. Next up is Minnesota on Christmas Day. Does it matter? It does if the Detroit Lions want the hunt to mean anything. Start fast. Fix the third-quarter lull. Secure the backside against the Vikings' rush looks. In the red zone, pick a hat on a hat and punch. All of it is on tape, as the Detroit Lions Podcast laid out. The job now is to make it look different in Minneapolis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujTq6e7WSVA #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #third-quartervanish #red-zoneregret #firstandgoalatthe1 #clock-chewingdrive #runfitsandassignments #backsideendunaccounted #h-backmotion #alexhighsmith #anthonyfirkserinthebackfield #pullingguardreach Learn more about your ad choices.

In this raw, emotional episode, we break down the gut-wrenching late-game collapse that left every Packer fan feeling that sickening 2014 NFC Championship déjà vu the moment Chicago recovered that onside kick. A retired Marine Corps officer calls in with a powerful message about warrior spirit and mental toughness that completely shifted our perspective on what this team is missing. We dive deep into why the NFLPA's practice restrictions have created a league of talented athletes who can't handle adversity, exploring how elite performers in every other field—from bodybuilders to MMA fighters to Navy SEALs—are broken down and rebuilt to handle exactly these moments. The conversation gets heated about Matt LaFleur's ability to motivate, Rich Bisacchia's special teams disasters, and whether Bears fans have any right to gloat after barely beating our decimated roster. With two winnable games remaining against the Ravens and Vikings, this team has a choice: find their heart or go home. We also address the Keyshawn Nixon situation, the corner position moving forward, and why talent alone will never win championships. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training What do you do when a business partnership fails? Do you try to engineer the perfect agreement so the exit is clean, or focus on alignment long before anyone signs anything? The truth is, most agency partnerships fail because owners rush into them without slowing down to see the cracks. Preparing for the worst is not pessimistic. It is how you protect the business you are trying to build. Today's featured guest has gone through failed starts, broken agency partnerships, and overcommitting his time as the owner for fear of losing opportunities. He'll unpack 25 years of wins, mistakes, and hard earned clarity, from building his agency and how the biggest breakthroughs came from leadership shifts rather than marketing tactics. Andy Crestodina is the co founder of Orbit Media, a Chicago based web development and optimization agency approaching its 25th year in business. Orbit has grown to a team of fifty five and more than eight million in annual revenue. Andy is also one of the most respected voices in content marketing, with millions of readers, hundreds of speaking engagements each year, and a reputation for teaching real strategy instead of recycled tactics. In this episode, we'll discuss: Slow, organic for consistent agency growth. What a failed agency partnership can cost you. The hire that gives an agency founder their time back. Learning when "yes" becomes the problem.

How Slow, Organic Growth Built a 25-Year Agency Andy was working as an IT recruiter in the nineties and found himself bored at his day job. He didn't get to build anything in that position and he had a lot of ideation urging him to do something else. Luckily, the internet offered him that chance. He could build a website and channel his creative energy through that side project. But could he do it full time? He had no resume and no portfolio to present to a potential employer. He realized it was easier to get a client to take a chance on him than it was to convince an employer to hire him. So he and a high school friend started building sites. The first partnership failed fast and then the second attempt grew slowly, quietly, and steadily for 25 years. The secret was not paid ads or cold outreach. It was content. Consistent publishing, useful insights, and a commitment to organic channels long before that became mainstream advice. When Agency Partnerships Go Wrong and What It Really Costs There are many stories of successful partnerships in the agency world, but overall the disaster stories are much more common. As Jason says, you either know the bad partner or you are the bad partner. Andy lived through one of the toughest versions of that story. He had three partners for a while. One of them ran an unprofitable department. Responsibilities were unclear. Values were not aligned. And when it came time to clean up the mess, a poorly written shareholder agreement became a bigger problem than the partner himself. Andy had to mortgage his home and personally lend the company money to buy out the partner. The agreement used the wrong valuation formula. The partner dragged his feet and what should have been a difficult but clean process turned into a long, expensive, emotionally draining separation. Looking back, Andy says something most founders never admit. A handshake would have been better than the shareholder agreement they had. The real mistakes came earlier: saying yes to a partner who did not share the same values, not slowing down long enough to evaluate the deal, and being hungry for growth and ignoring misalignment. The Leadership Hire That Gave the Founder His Time Back Around this time of misalignment between partners was when a long time client turned management consultant stepped in. He saw tension inside the partner group, so he moved to do a 360 review and surfaced the problems that no one wanted to say out loud. Andy was quick to spot that he would be a great addition to the agency, and so eventually, he became the CEO. That single hire changed everything. Andy was doing all the sales and marketing. Meetings all day. Proposals all night. Burning energy on tasks someone else should have owned years earlier. Once his new CEO came on board, he built systems, built a sales process, hired strategists to handle qualification and scoping. Suddenly Andy had 20 hours a week of his life back. He poured that time into content and went right into work. He doubled publishing frequency, launched a conference, wrote a book, held monthly live events, shot videos. The brand exploded. Their reach multiplied. The inbound engine went from effective to unstoppable. This is the founder shift so many agency owners avoid. Letting go. Delegating the work that drains you. Investing your best energy into the work that grows the company, not the work that maintains it. Saying Yes, Saying No, and Protecting Your Energy Andy admits he still overcommits. He still says yes to speaking engagements because he loves the stage and it generates leads, even though the constant travel wears him down. This is something many agency owners have to face. You may want the brand, speaking gigs and reach. But you also want to protect your energy so you do not turn into the hero who disappoints people when they finally meet you. At some point, you have to choose where your yes goes. Andy chose articles, newsletters, LinkedIn, webinars, a conference, and in person events. He let go of podcasting. He narrowed his focus so he could go deeper. That discipline, more than any tactic, is what keeps his inbound engine healthy 25 years later. The Tension Between Culture and Profit How do you balance loyalty to your team with the need for profit and EBITDA? Andy is still trying to figure this out. His team has an average tenure of eight years. Some team members have been there twenty. Andy cares deeply about them and their families. But agencies face moments when bonuses, salaries, utilization, and capacity collide. Where doing right by people and doing right for the business feel like competing priorities. There is no perfect answer. But there is a direction. Take care of your people first. Trust them to help you solve the profit problems. Fix leaks. Raise rates. Tighten scope. Operate like owners. And when the agency wins, let your team win with you. Culture breaks agencies faster than anything else. Profit can be fixed. Culture cannot be patched over.

Economists like to model people as rational creatures who make self-interested decisions. But humans don't act that way. Why do investors, politicians and ordinary people act against their best interests – and how can they be nudged into making better decisions? To find out, FT economics commentator Chris Giles speaks to Richard Thaler, the founding father of behavioural economics. Thaler is a professor at the University of Chicago who won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on how humans make (often irrational) decisions.This is a repeat of an episode published on The Economics Show, a sister podcast of Behind the Money, on November 7, 2025.

Mike Marcangelo and Dave Clarke return with a pivotal late-season episode of Missing the Point as the 2025 NFL season heads into Week 17 and the playoff picture finally comes into full focus. This show centers on two defining Week 16 victories that reshaped expectations across the league, the New England Patriots and the Chicago Bears both delivering comeback wins that solidified their status as legitimate contenders. The episode opens with a deep breakdown of the Bears’ dramatic win over the Green Bay Packers. Mike and Dave discuss Caleb Williams’ continued growth, his ability to respond in high-pressure moments, and why this performance felt like a franchise checkpoint for Chicago. They analyze the late-game execution, DJ Moore’s impact, and Ben Johnson’s offensive philosophy, while debating whether this Bears team is officially ahead of schedule or right on time. From there, the focus shifts to New England’s comeback victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Drake Maye’s performance takes center stage, from navigating early adversity to closing the game with confidence. The guys break down Maye’s decision-making, his chemistry with Stefon Diggs, and why this Patriots team looks more complete than it has at any point since the post-Brady rebuild began. They also examine lingering concerns such as turnovers, pass protection, and whether New England can consistently close out playoff-caliber opponents. Beyond the individual games, this episode zooms out to the broader NFL playoff race. Mike and Dave walk through AFC and NFC seeding scenarios, potential first-round matchups, and which teams are trending up or quietly slipping as January approaches. They debate momentum versus résumé, quarterback ceilings, coaching advantages, and why certain teams feel more dangerous than their records suggest. If you are following the Patriots’ rise, the Bears’ breakthrough season, or the evolving NFL playoff landscape entering Week 17, this episode delivers smart analysis, honest debate, and clear-eyed football conversation when it matters most.

The Cubs are building their new bullpen out of hunks of the old Rangers' one, probably because the Rangers' was better than theirs last year. Oleg and Praz are here to talk about it, and to hear and old friend recount the last seconds of the Bears' OT win over the Packers, just for the hell of it. The guys discuss the Cubs bullpen strategy, try to figure out where the offense is going to come from and how badly Kyle Tucker's market would have to collapse for Jed to give him a call. They also talk starting pitching, Mugs Halas' exhumation and autopsy (seriously), why Chicago fans reflexively focus on how things could go wrong, and more.

On this week's episode of The Juice Time Podcast, Noah Adamany and Nick Osen recapped their beloved Bears' comeback victory in overtime against the arch-rival Green Bay Packers, propelling the franchise to its first playoff berth since 2020! Noah and Nick both praised QB1 Caleb Williams for his ability to remain composed down the stretch of the football game, as Chicago's offense had been stagnant for more than three quarters. They also recognized DJ Moore's warrior mentality, as he reeled in the walk-off touchdown with a defender draped on his back in the end zone!   Be sure to download, rate, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts & Spotify.   As always, Juice Up!

Who is Gregory Bovino? For months, the Border Patrol Commander-at-Large led agents through Chicago on an aggressive immigration enforcement campaign, while making sure his noticeably uncovered face was in front of as many cameras as possible. But there's very little information online about Bovino's background, his experience, or his rise to overnight prominence. So our team went digging – to his hometown in North Carolina, and to California where his Border Patrol career got started. In “Becoming Bovino,” Sun-Times investigative reporter Lauren FitzPatrick and WBEZ investigative reporter Dan Mihalopoulos sit down with WBEZ's Patrick Smith to share what they found about Gregory Bovino – from his upbringing, to his efforts to keep himself in the limelight.

RJ Bell and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL recap for Week 16. RJ Bell and Mackenzie Rivers recapped Week 16 NFL action with a focus on separating true performance from misleading final scores by comparing three metrics, the scoreboard result, a box score based recalculation, and two noise reduced efficiency models. They emphasized how sequencing and non repeatable events like turnovers can distort outcomes, using the Rams Seahawks game as a prime example where identical efficiency could have produced wildly different final scores. Bell discussed how betting markets have changed with legalization, syndicates, and model driven bettors, arguing that incentives often force action even without confidence, leading to distorted line moves. He noted that public analysts frequently echo trends without understanding them, creating opportunities for disciplined bettors. Rivers highlighted Bell's recent betting run and the importance of closing line value. They reviewed teams whose recent performance diverged most from season long metrics, including Jacksonville, the Rams, Chicago, and Baltimore, and discussed how midseason improvements or collapses often lag public perception. Bell argued that some teams appear to be tanking while others remain highly motivated despite poor records, which matters late in the season. Looking ahead to Christmas Day games, they expressed skepticism toward large spreads driven by must win narratives, particularly Denver laying a huge number against Kansas City, favoring the underdog due to rarity and historical performance of large home dogs. They concluded that motivation, pressure, referee tendencies, and market psychology become increasingly important late in the season, and that disciplined bettors should resist narratives, manage risk, and focus on structural edges rather than reacting to surface level results.

These are difficult times for the college football bowl games that aren't part of the Playoff system. Player opt-outs were already a thing, and now entire teams don't want to take part. At best, the games are internet memes featuring some enjoyable football on the side. At worst, nobody cares. How many of these problems are truly new, and how many of them feel worse than they are because we have a distorted picture of being young in the 1990s and 2000s? Alex and Rodger challenge their priors on how much bowl season has changed and how much of bowls' decline comes down to nostalgia. Want much more?
