First, we speak to The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy about the deaths of three Indian sailors aboard MT Settebello after a US strike near the Strait of Hormuz, and what the incident means for India as a close strategic partner of the United States with thousands of citizens working in the region.Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Sukalp Sharma about the Centre's Rs 10,000 crore support package for oil marketing companies, how it is intended to stabilise jet fuel prices, and whether it can offer meaningful relief to Indian airlines grappling with rising costs and disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict. (11:00)And in the end, we look at the latest escalation in the US-Iran conflict, after President Donald Trump threatened fresh strikes on Tehran and announced plans to take over Iran's key oil export hub at Kharg Island, before later signalling that a broader peace deal may be close.

A ceasefire broken. The U.S.launched “self-defense strikes” on Iranian air defense and radar sites last evening after a U.S. Apache helicopter was downed Monday near the Strait of Hormuz. The two pilots were rescued. This came after President Trump said the U.S. response “should be very strong, very powerful,” and earlier said talks with Iran were in their “final throes,” possibly concluding in “two or three days” though the status of those negotiations is now unclear.  Sources say U.S. targets included Iranian air defenses and radar installations as part of the retaliation. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran will not leave any attack "unanswered."Mo Kelly speaks with political analyst John Rothmann about what this escalation means for any potential deal to end Trump's Iran War. Mark welcomes the authors of ‘Notes of Deception.' Drs. Merryl Goldberg and Vince Houghton tell the story of a quartet of American musicians that outwitted the KGB. We also consider how much we as consumers really need and how we can benefit our own communities.

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar Engines of Growth in Fragile Contexts: Launching the IFPRI–UNU-WIDER research partnership Organized by IFPRI and United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) June 10, 2026 Fragile and conflict-affected settings account for a growing share of global poverty. Roughly 2 billion people live in these areas, accounting for 25% of the world's population but 72% of the world's extreme poor. At the national level, many fragile economies struggle to sustain growth, create jobs, and recover from repeated shocks. Yet even amid conflict, climate stress, and political instability, some communities continue to adapt, work, trade, and invest. For these “islands of resilience,” local livelihoods, skills, trust, and collective action support local economic activity that connects to broader growth trajectories. Understanding these dynamics can help identify how strategic support can strengthen resilience, recovery, and livelihoods in at-risk economies. Join us for this event marking the launch of the IFPRI–UNU-WIDER research partnership, which will work with local partners to generate evidence on the engines of growth that sustain economic activity amid fragility. This seminar will bring together researchers, donors, policy stakeholders, and implementation partners to discuss why some local economies remain resilient under stress, what evidence is needed to guide investment and programming, and how policy can support locally grounded pathways to economic recovery. This event was supported by the CGIAR Food Frontiers and Security Program. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided by CGIAR funders through the CGIAR Trust Fund.

Jonathan Plucker, a research professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Education, and Fordham's own Alicia Anderson, policy and editorial associate, join The Education Gadfly Show to discuss new research on how little states and the federal government invest in advanced education. How much funding goes toward gifted education, AP, IB, and other advanced learning opportunities, and why is it so hard to track where those dollars go?Then, on the Research Minute, Brian Fitzpatrick examines new research on Algebra I achievement gaps and finds that many are rooted as early as third grade and grew worse during the pandemic.Recommended content:Broad support, barely funded: The paradox of advanced education in America —Jonathan Plucker, Alicia Anderson, Matthew Makel, and Shaun Dougherty for AdvanceThe Leaky Pipeline: Assessing the college outcomes of Ohio's high-achieving low-income students —Stéphane Lavertu, Thomas B.

Genevieve Barnett spends their nights caring for one of the world's most misunderstood animals. From Night Flight Rehabilitation, the bat rehab NGO they founded in Colorado, they nurse little brown bats through white-nose syndrome and gently untangle myotis caught in fishing line, one patient at a time.But Genevieve is also asking bigger questions. Through the lens of queer ecology, they explore what we miss when we view the natural world through one narrow perspective: whose knowledge counts, whose stories get told. From butterflies that are half male and half female to lizard species with no males at all, they reveal a natural world far stranger and more diverse than mainstream science tends to admit, and they make the case that inclusion isn't a side note to One Health. It's central to it.LinkFollow Genevieve on Instagram and learn more about their amazing bat rehab work: @night_flight_rehabilitationWe'd love to hear from you ... share your thoughts, feedback and ideas.

Der Druck, unter dem die UN seit einigen Jahren stehen, ist auch im sensiblen Bereich der humanitären Hilfe spürbar. Zwischen geopolitischen Spannungen, einer steigenden Zahl an internationaler Krisen und Konflikten sowie immer häufiger werdenden Angriffen auf UN-Personal können die UN häufig nur noch eingeschränkt Hilfe leisten. Hinzu kommt die massive Kritik an den UN als Organisation, die insbesondere durch US-Präsident Donald Trump am sichtbarsten vorgetragen wird sowie die erheblichen finanziellen Ausfälle, die sich nicht nur auf die Arbeit der UN auswirken, sondern auch grundsätzliche Umstrukturierungen beispielsweise im Zuge der 'UN80'-Reform nach sich ziehen. Dies nehmen Patrick und Steve zum Anlass, um mit Ralf Südhoff vom Centre for Humanitarian Action (CHA) in Berlin über aktuelle Entwicklungen und Herausforderungen der UN im Feld der humanitären Hilfe zu sprechen.  InhaltHumanitäre Hilfe der UN im Überblick (03:37)Good News zur humanitären Hilfe (08:48)Grundsätzliche Probleme und Herausforderungen (15:07)Der 'Humanitäre Neustart' und die 'UN80'-Reform (36:43)Deutschlands Rolle in der humanitären Hilfe (47:03) Shownotes (52:32)Weiterführende InformationenRalf Südhoff, Das Versanden des Humanitarian Reset: Wie Geberregierungen und Fair-Share-Ansätze Reformen retten können: https://www.chaberlin.org/publications/das-versanden-des-humanitarian-reset/Zeitschrift VEREINTE NATIONEN, Heft 2/2023, Wider die Hilflosigkeit: https://dgvn.de/veroeffentlichungen/publikation/einzel/humanitaere-hilfe-der-vereinten-nationen.Ralf Südhoff und Berit Reich, Krise ohne Krieg, in: VEREINTE NATIONEN, Heft 2/2023: https://zeitschrift-vereinte-nationen.de/suche/zvn/artikel/krise-ohne-krieg.UN-BASIS-INFORMATIONEN 64, Humanitäre Hilfe der Vereinten Nationen: https://dgvn.de/publications/PDFs/Basis_Informationen/BI_64_Humanitaere-Hilfe.pdf. DGVN-Aktivitäten, Recherchereise zu WFP-Projekten nach Niger: https://dgvn.de/aktivitaeten/recherchereisen/recherchereise-2022-nigerUNhörbar #33, Recherchereise nach Niger und das WFP: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5ee9aEgYwvG49cl1pA3qFK.Redaktion & Moderation: Steve Biedermann, Vorstandsmitglied des DGVN-Landesverbands Sachsen, Sachsen Anhalt und Thüringen & Dr. Patrick Rosenow, Leitender Redakteur der Zeitschrift VEREINTE NATIONENPostproduktion: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mucks audio: Die Audio und Podcast Agentur

My good friend Matt Cline is here with me today to talk through the cultural epidemic of pornography. We are diving into the deeper roots behind sexual sin, temptation, and transformation. Matt discusses why behavior modification alone isn't enough, how our view of sex shapes the way we lead and relate to others, and why isolation keeps people stuck. Explore how true freedom comes through renewing the mind, pursuing Christlikeness, and allowing God to transform us from the inside out.    Episode Highlights: Surface-level behavior change isn't enough—you have to deal with the root issue. The way we follow Christ should shape the way we think about sex and intimacy. Hidden sexual sin doesn't stay isolated—it affects every relationship around us. Sexual immorality pulls us toward selfishness instead of self-giving love. God invites you to live in His grace and the freedom He offers. Quotes from this Conversation: Matt: Love, living in love and engaging in sexual immorality cannot happen at the same time.  The purpose for our sexual desire is a training ground for Christlikeness. For dying to self and stewarding our urges. Accountability should not be focused simply on not sinning. Temptation is simply an opportunity for transformation.  I tried to quit the sin for so long without ever learning how to renew my mind. Never learning how to think like Jesus in the sexual area of my life.  The amount of perversion in our faces all the time, lends to us justifying "lesser sins." You can get rid of the behavior but what about the worldview or the view on sex that has been established in you that you have not yet had renewed?   Dr. Kim: Isolation does nothing good for us at all. Isolation when we're dealing with something negative should not be something that we do. We give people hope because not in us and not our ministries, but in this God who created us. I want to know Nancy loves me even with everything out on the table.  Time to Talk About It: Are there areas in my life where I've focused more on behavior management than true heart transformation? How has my worldview around sex, intimacy, or temptation been shaped more by culture than by Christ? When I struggle, do I tend to isolate myself or invite trusted people into honesty, accountability, and healing?   Mentioned in This Episode: Check out what Matt is doing at Restored Ministries If your marriage is struggling with betrayal, check out our course: Marriage Undefiled

Irish activists who set out to challenge Israel's blockade of Gaza are now on their way home, after a mission that sparked strong reaction both here and internationally. But, what exactly happened, and what are the wider political and humanitarian implications? Pat gets the latest from Maureen Almai, Flotilla Activist and Retired Doctor; Fianna Fáil MEP, Barry Andrews & Euronews Europe Correspondent, Shona Murray.

Applications are now open for the September 2026 cohort of the Digital4Business Joint Professional Master's Degree in Advanced Digital Technologies for Business. For this intake, successful applicants will pay no tuition or registration fees, thanks to co-funding from the European Union and the Digital4Business consortium. The programme gives learners the opportunity to complete a fully online, internationally accredited Master's designed around the digital skills businesses need most, including artificial intelligence, data science, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and digital transformation. Digital4Business has a strong Irish connection. National College of Ireland is one of the four higher education institutions delivering the programme, alongside Linköping University in Sweden, NOVA IMS in Portugal, and the University of Bologna in Italy. NCI is also overseeing the validation and accreditation of programmes, while Professor Horacio González-Vélez of NCI is the overall Digital4Business coordinator. Irish organisations Skillnet Ireland and Digital Technology Skills are also members of the consortium. Apply now for Digital4Business online master's The project was originally launched at National College of Ireland, with Irish Government representatives welcoming the initiative and its role in developing advanced digital skills for Europe's workforce. At the launch, then Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris, addressed the event by video message, welcoming the collaboration of higher education institutions, research centres, training providers and industry partners. "We are always stronger together, especially when we harness pan-European cooperation," he said. Dara Calleary, then Minister of State for Trade Promotion and Digital Transformation, also attended the launch at NCI and highlighted the importance of digital technologies for Ireland's economic progress and talent development. Study built around real life Digital4Business has been designed for recent graduates, managers, and ambitious professionals who want to build advanced digital skills without stepping away from work. While the programme follows a full-time structure, classes take place in the evening, making it a realistic option for people balancing full-time jobs, family life, and other commitments. Learners complete a 60 ECTS Master's over two semesters in one academic year, fully online. Career support built into the programme Alongside academic delivery, Digital4Business places a strong focus on community, career progression, and practical support. Students have access to employability webinars, one-to-one coaching, mentoring, peer exchange, and career-focused sessions covering CV development, networking, interview performance, communication, and leading through digital change. Wider support also includes industry engagement, work-based learning, and networking opportunities, helping students feel connected to both peers and the professional world. Student experience Current student Grace Rubinger said: "Balancing the programme with work and family life takes structure and consistency. I usually watch lectures twice a week and set aside additional time for readings and assignments. That steady rhythm helps me stay engaged without becoming overwhelmed." Current student Luis Pereira said: "Between the introductions and discussions, you quickly realise everyone comes from different backgrounds but is dealing with the same challenge of balancing work, life, and study. That shared experience makes it feel more like a group than studying alone." Supporting strategic digital careers The combination of academic learning, practical application, and career support is central to Digital4Business. The programme was developed to help learners build technical knowledge, confidence, and the strategic perspective needed to apply digital technologies in real business contexts. For graduates, professionals, and managers lo...

Dr Olivia Cheung and Lyle Morris join Philip Shetler-Jones to assess President Trump's Beijing visit and the future of US-China relations.

This episode explores: - The historical and geopolitical context behind President Trump's visit to China. - China's priorities and how Xi Jinping may be approaching relations with the United States. - What each side achieved politically, economically and strategically during the visit. - The implications for Taiwan and US allies in the Indo-Pacific region. - What the meetings reveal about the future direction of US-China relations. - Wider implications for global security, international order, and partners such as the United Kingdom.

Lora Copley never thought she'd be editor of The Banner. When her name first came up, she sent back a crying-laughing emoji. She was a campus minister in Iowa, not a journalist. But on a Saturday afternoon — the day before the application deadline, while her daughter was napping — the thought wouldn't leave her alone. She put in her résumé fully expecting to be politely declined, and instead found herself in Florida, at the Multiply 222 conference, receiving a call she hadn't seen coming. In part one of our conversation, Lora tells the story of how God redirected her into the Banner, and what she's learned about the publication, the denomination, and the work in front of her. This episode is for anyone who has thrown the Banner in the recycling and assumed nothing was going to change. Lora walks us behind the curtain — how feature articles get planned a year in advance, how unsolicited columns come in, how the Our Shared Ministry pages work, and why submissions have nearly tripled since December. She's not asking the CRCNA to manage decline. She's reading Hebrews 11 and the COD report side by side and refusing to pretend the gospel has shrunk. She wants to know what God is doing in Houston and Pease, Minnesota, and Acton, Ontario — and she wants The Banner to be the place where we hear about it. The payoff is the moment Jason calls out in real time: he's been one of the Banner's most vocal critics for six years, and he's genuinely encouraged. Lora's vision — a publication that speaks with and within the denomination, that helps the CRCNA know both God and itself, that holds Calvin's twin pillars of wisdom together — is exactly the kind of cross-pollination a denomination in reformation requires. Part two picks up with Lora's dreams for the next five years, the Banner's confessional turn, and her nerves heading into Synod.

Mark Dolan reacts as Andy Burnham faced accusations of political contortion after retreating on EU rejoining and endorsing Rachel Reeves's borrowing rules. Labour polling showed Burnham preferred over Starmer, while Wes Streeting's leadership hopes suffered sharp rejection from party members. Wider favourability data suggest that Burnham could unite Labour's fractured base, though Brexit-sensitive Makerfield remains a crucial test.Wake up with Talk Breakfast in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Freeview 280, Fire TV, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

When I started getting serious about e-commerce, I genuinely believed the more products you had, the more successful you'd be. More SKUs meant scaling. I was completely wrong. Here's the problem: most founders launch a hero product, get early traction, and then the anxiety kicks in. What if it runs out of steam? What if a competitor copies me? So they launch a second product, then a third — and suddenly they're mediocre at five things instead of exceptional at one. In this episode, I share how I built and sold a seven-figure brand off a single water bottle, and break down how IM8 — co-founded by David Beckham — hit $120 million in annualised revenue in under a year on essentially one product, and what both stories mean for how you should be thinking about your brand right now. Here's what you'll take away: Why the urge to launch a second product is almost always driven by fear — and how to reframe it The three questions to ask yourself before you add a single new SKU How AG1, Liquid IV, and IM8 all built empires off one hero product — and what that blueprint looks like for a smaller brand Why going deeper on your hero product is a stronger competitive defence than launching more products The rule of thumb for knowing when you're actually ready to expand — and the mistake I made with Healthish that I'd do differently How simplicity in your product lineup directly improves your margins, your ops, and your mental bandwidth If you're thinking about launching a second product line before your first one is fully optimised, this episode will show you exactly what to focus on instead — and what's possible when you commit to doing one thing at the highest level possible.

Modern life makes it easy to assume that access to nature is simply about proximity. A nearby park. A trail down the road. A place to go. But what if access is more complicated than that? In this conversation, I sit down with public health researcher Jen Roberts to explore the intersection of nature, equity, and belonging. Together, we look at how our environments—both built and natural—shape not only our ability to be outside, but whether we feel like those spaces are actually for us. Jen shares how her work in active living and public health led her into the nature space, and how that work expanded to include a deeper question: who has access to nature, and who feels welcome once they get there? We also explore the story of Buffalo's historic parkways—once designed for connection and movement—and how their removal reshaped both land and community. This conversation invites a wider lens. Because access to nature isn't always as simple as it seems—and sometimes, the deeper question is whether we feel like we belong there at all. Walk with us.  This conversation is part of Rooted: A Podcast About Nature & Wellbeing — an exploration of how connecting with nature helps us feel more whole in the lives we're actually living.

The Rebbe responds regarding the difficulty of a Torah article's style, suggesting that even deep concepts can and should be conveyed simply, especially when the goal is broad dissemination.

Israeli actions stall Gaza talks and drive wider tensions | 4 May 2026 by Radio Islam

In this episode, Dr. Kim talks with author and pastor Heath Hardesty about his new book, All Things Together. Heath shares how his time apprenticing under his earthly father became a living picture of what it means to be an apprentice of our Heavenly Father. They discuss what it looks like to live as image bearers in a fragmented world, why discipleship is more than "extra credit," and how God redeems, not erases, our humanity. Together, they unpack how to see with wonder again, order our imagination around Christ, and live a whole, beautiful life that reflects Him.   Episode Takeaways: Wholeness comes from staying connected, not from doing more. Slowing down is often the most spiritual thing we can do. God loves us and desires to dwell with us. Our focus and intention shape the way we experience life and who we become. Life feels scattered because we're often living disconnected from what truly grounds us. Our actions are connected to our faith. We ache and long for relationship with our Creator. He is a good Father. Quotes from this Episode: How we imagine the world really affects how we inhabit it. Technology can connect, but the digital world often pulls us apart—scattering our presence across time and place until we forget what it means to truly be together. When we take things out of context and mix the sacred with the trivial, our souls are shaped by confusion and chaos. God weaves beauty from even the most ordinary or unwanted chapters of our stories—if we let Him, nothing is wasted. We are made to be apprentices of the Master—union, abiding, obeying, and becoming like Him is the heart of how we truly change. Faith isn't just belief in our heads—it's trust that spills out through our hands, our words, our feet, our relationships. It's embodied and lived. Serving others, especially those closest to us, by following Christ's example, transforms both them and us. True love is found in humble service. Faith has everything to do with our hands, our feet, our mouth, and our relationships. It's an embodied thing.   Reflect on This: Where does life feel most rushed right now? How can you invite Jesus into this space instead of just trying harder? What small daily habit or rhythm is shaping you the most right now, for better or for worse? If following Jesus is more about apprenticeship than perfection, what is one simple practice you could lean into this week to stay more connected to Him?   Mentioned in this Episode: Never miss a Wider Lens episode.

Elon Musk-led xAI is pursuing a FedRAMP High Authorization as part of the company's efforts to expand adoption of its tool Grok across federal agencies and their workflows. The company's authorization pursuit is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a partnership first reported Monday by Fast Company and confirmed by FedScoop through a source familiar with the matter. Typically, the metaphorical rubber stamp indicates a high level of rigor and shows that a tool is ripe for the federal government's most sensitive workloads. To meet the FedRAMP High requirements, xAI will need to adhere to more than 400 security controls, a third-party assessment and documentation reviews for its Grok Enterprise for Government tool. All in all, the process could last a couple of years, according to estimates from accounting firm Schellman. Despite the lengthy road ahead, xAI's pursuit of the authorization is already sending signals to federal agencies that the company is serious about courting them. For some, however, Grok's infamous reputation could precede any security standards badge it may earn. Funding has emerged as a key factor in determining whether the Department of Energy can keep pace with its ambitious Genesis Mission timeline, according to Carl Coe, the agency's chief of staff. Speaking at AITalks on Tuesday, Coe called Genesis a massive project that needs funding to reflect that. The Genesis Mission is framed by the Trump administration as a national effort to stand up supercomputers, double the productivity of the country's research-and-development budget and launch a platform that combines quantum, high-performance computing and AI advancements. The effort kicked off in November via an executive order. Coe, who previously served as DOE's Department of Government Efficiency lead, said that even though the White House allocated a good amount [of funding], Energy needs a lot more. Budget season is underway with the release of the White House's agency-level funding proposals earlier this month, offering a peek behind the curtain at what could potentially be coming DOE's way.

On the second hour of Nuanez Now, Colter Nuanez is joined by Brooks Nuanez to preview the upcoming spring football game kicking off at 6 p.m., diving into key storylines to watch and how both sides of the ball are shaping up. The two focus heavily on the defensive side, breaking down the shift away from the 3-3-5 scheme that's been a staple for nearly a decade and into a new four-man front, discussing what prompted the change, how it impacts personnel, and what it could mean for the overall identity of the defense moving forward. They also provide a quick update from the Montana State Spring Rodeo, highlighting early results and notable performances from the weekend before shifting into a deeper discussion on Montana State Bobcats football spring football, evaluating the talent the Bobcats need to replace from last year's championship team despite returning the bulk of their roster with only eight seniors departing.To wrap up the hour, Geoff Safford sits down with Alex Wider, a senior defenseman for Montana Grizzlies lacrosse, ahead of the team's senior game and final home matchup of the season at Washington-Grizzly Stadium this weekend.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Shica. Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to highlight entrepreneurial reinvention, faith‑driven resilience, and product‑based business building, using Dr. Shica’s journey from educator to founder of Dr. Shica’s Bakery as a powerful example of how unexpected setbacks can unlock hidden purpose. The conversation demonstrates that entrepreneurship does not always begin as a plan—it often begins as a response to disruption. Dr. Shica’s story shows how education, discipline, creativity, and belief can transform a side passion into a scalable, nationally relevant brand. Major Themes & Key Takeaways 1. Entrepreneurship Can Be Born From Adversity Dr. Shica did not set out to build a baking business. After losing her job during the COVID‑19 pandemic, she was forced to reassess her future. What began as weekend baking quickly evolved into a business opportunity when encouragement from others met growing demand. Key takeaway: Unexpected endings often reveal opportunities you didn’t know you were prepared for. 2. Education Is Transferable—Even Outside the Classroom With three degrees in education, including a doctorate, Dr. Shica reframes her career transition not as a departure from teaching, but as an extension of it. Through her bakery, she continues to educate consumers about better‑for‑you, plant‑based foods. Key takeaway: Education is not limited to institutions—it can live inside entrepreneurship. 3. Why Vegan Was the Strategic Choice Dr. Shica intentionally built a vegan, plant‑based cookie brand to serve a wider audience, including those with dietary restrictions, health considerations, and evolving food preferences. The goal was inclusivity without sacrificing flavor. Key takeaway: Building products for “everyone” means being intentional about accessibility. 4. Talent Is Sometimes Hidden Until Circumstances Force Discovery Although she came from a family of bakers, Dr. Shica did not recognize her full talent until she had no choice but to act. Customer feedback, pop‑up success, and celebrity validation confirmed what she hadn’t previously claimed for herself. Key takeaway: You may not discover your strongest gift until you are pushed to use it. 5. Pop‑Ups as Proof of Concept Dr. Shica used pop‑ups and kiosks as testing grounds—refining recipes, gathering feedback, and maintaining product standards. Consistency, premium ingredients, and refusing to sell anything less than excellent became core principles. Key takeaway: Small tests create big confidence when done intentionally. 6. Scaling Through Innovation: Cookie Mixes The creation of her cookie dough mix solved multiple challenges: consistency, scalability, and nationwide shipping. What began as an internal solution became a product line customers could take home and recreate. Key takeaway: Scaling often comes from solving an internal problem creatively. 7. Brand Integrity and Consistency Matter Dr. Shica emphasizes that every product carries her heart, soul, and reputation. If something didn’t meet her standards, it was remade—no exceptions. That commitment built trust and repeat business. Key takeaway: Quality is the quiet engine behind brand longevity. 8. Faith + Work Ethic = Sustainability When asked about her secret to success, Dr. Shica centered her answer on faith first, hard work always. She acknowledges the added challenges faced as a minority woman founder and the need for spiritual grounding to navigate buyers, retailers, and scaling pressure. Key takeaway: Faith can fuel consistency when entrepreneurship gets heavy. 9. Vision Beyond the Present Moment Dr. Shica’s long‑term goal is to build a legacy brand—comparable to household names—while ensuring her face, story, and values remain part of the company’s identity for future generations. Key takeaway: Legacy branding connects today’s hustle to tomorrow’s impact. Notable Quotes “I didn’t even know I had this talent until I was laid off.” “I wanted to create something delicious that everyone could enjoy.” “If it wasn’t perfect, I made it again.” “I’m still educating—just through cookies.” “Consistency is everything.” “Jesus, take the wheel.” “Stay prayed up, and then put in the work.” Overall Message Dr. Shica’s interview is a testimony of faith, adaptability, and disciplined creativity. Her journey reinforces that success is not always about following the original plan—it’s about recognizing opportunity, honoring your standards, and trusting the path as it unfolds. Her story shows that when passion meets preparation and belief, even a kitchen dream can become a national brand with purpose and legacy. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you caught in a maze and don't even know it? Today, Dr. Kim is joined by Ryan Wekenman to talk about the maze of self-centeredness we all have to navigate. When we begin living for applause, appreciation, or validation, we can easily drift out of sync with the Lord and into a life focused on serving ourselves—the exact opposite of what God calls us to. In this powerful conversation, Ryan and Dr. Kim challenge us to recognize the pull toward self-focus and invite us to shift our attention back where it belongs: fully on Jesus. We pray this episode encourages you to take the focus off yourself and go all in on Him. Episode Takeaways: Self-centeredness is a spiritual issue that affects everyone. Control is often at the root of self-centeredness. We need to be intentional about serving others. Self-improvement should not come at the expense of God-centered living. The Lord is our shepherd; we lack nothing when we trust Him. Finding freedom comes from letting go of the need for validation. Quotes from this Episode: If Satan can't get you to not worship, he'll try to get you to make worship about you. You don't need self-help. First and foremost, you need God's help. The problem isn't self-help. The problem is thinking that self-help will save. The way towards abundant life is serving and it's humbling yourself. There's so much freedom on the other side of letting that performer in you die. I think we have to be intentional about that because it's easy to absorb the culture and let that just become part of, well, everybody's doing it.- Dr. Kim I think one thing that God has taught me and I still struggle with at times is learning to celebrate others. - Dr. Kim I think what God is teaching me now, as old as I am, is that just do what I want you to do. - Dr. Kim   Time to Reflect: Where in my life am I most tempted to seek applause, appreciation, or validation instead of simply seeking the Lord? How might my focus on myself be affecting the way I love and serve my spouse and the people around me? What is one practical way I can shift my focus from myself to Jesus in my daily decisions and interactions this week?   Connect with Ryan: Website: ryanwekenman.com; redrocksaustin.com Podcast: Afterthoughts Podcast; Stories in Scripture      Instagram: instagram.com/ryanwekenman      YouTube: YouTube.com/@ryanwekenman
