Miesha Tate spent her whole life chasing a UFC world title, and when she won it, it broke her. Miesha is a former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, one of the fighters who cracked women's MMA open at the highest level, and someone who has now spent almost as much time deconstructing what that pursuit cost her as she did chasing it. We sat down in Malibu and got into the parts of the story you don't usually hear. The moment she realised the gold belt didn't solve a single one of her problems. The years of eating disorders, distilled water weight cuts, and amenorrhea she was privately navigating while headlining pay-per-views. The pregnancy loss earlier this year that forced her to look at what her fighting career had done to her hormones. And the coach whose death became the reason she started her podcast. Miesha is direct about what she got wrong: the war she waged with her own body, the intuition she overrode because she'd signed on the dotted line, and the mental health cost of being the "strong woman" everyone pointed to. She's also honest about what actually helped her rebuild, from cognitive behavioural therapy to prayer to learning, for the first time in her life, how to be present. If you've ever confused discipline with self-punishment, this one will resonate. You'll learn: [0:00] Introduction [9:53] 99% of a cage fight happens inside your own head before the walk out [15:20] How winning the belt became the biggest breaking point of Miesha's life [24:15] The eating disorder, the weight cuts, and drinking distilled water for 72 hours [40:09] Women need 100 to 300 more calories in the luteal phase, and no diet accounts for it [52:36] The pregnancy loss she believes was tied to years of under-fueling her body [1:04:19] How prayer, reconnection, and a cognitive behavioral therapist pulled her out of the darkness [1:14:40] The balloon exercise that taught her presence for the first time in her life [1:25:57] Why Miesha believes public school was designed to divide the nuclear family Resources Mentioned: ROAR (Women Are Not Small Men) by Stacy T.

“The United States and America are not the same thing. The United States is a government, an administration. America is an idea — and that idea is still there, even when the government is not.” — Konstanty Gebert What is the best thing about America? At least when viewed from Warsaw. For Konstanty Gebert — Polish-Jewish journalist, Solidarity activist, co-founder of Gazeta Wyborcza, and one of his country's most celebrated public intellectuals — the answer is the interlibrary loan system. The ability to order any book from any library in the United States and have it delivered to your local branch within days, for free. To Gebert, it represents something irreducibly American: access to knowledge as a public good. What the internet once was. What America once represented to freedom-loving Poles like Gebert. And the worst? Yalta. Gebert's narrative is damning. In February 1945, FDR and Churchill caved into Stalin's demands and agreed to Soviet colonisation of Eastern Europe in exchange for Russia's entry into the Pacific War. Poland was once again bartered by the great powers. “We were sold,” Gebert describes a perfidy that resulted in a forty-year Soviet occupation of Poland. Between the interlibrary loan and Yalta lies a more complex Polish-American history: Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points enabling an independent Poland; Herbert Hoover feeding a starving Europe after WW1; Reagan's support for Solidarity. Now, however, Konstanty Gebert warns, Trump's America isn't just failing Poland, but all of Europe in its disdain for freedom, especially in Ukraine. That's the view from Warsaw. And it's closer to Yalta than the interlibrary loan system. Five Takeaways • The Interlibrary Loan System: The Peak of American Civilisation: Gebert's opening answer to Andrew's question about what the United States means to him: the interlibrary loan system. The ability to order any book from any library in the country and have it delivered to your local branch within days, for free. It represents something specific about the American idea: that access to knowledge is a public good, that no individual library can hold everything, and that the solution is to share rather than compete. It is, he says, the most civilised thing any country has ever done. He is not entirely joking. • The United States and America Are Not the Same Thing: Gebert's structural distinction: the United States is a government, a foreign policy, a set of institutions that can be well or badly run. America is an idea — a myth of liberty, opportunity, and democratic self-governance — that has shaped the world's imagination since 1776. When the United States fails, as it has under Trump, that is serious and damaging. But it does not destroy America. The idea persists independently of what any administration does to it. Poland's relationship is with America, not just the United States. That is what survived Yalta. That is what survived Trump's first term. He is less sure it will survive the second. • Wilson Square, Hoover, and Yalta: America's Polish History: The arc of American-Polish relations is extraordinary. Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points gave Poland its independence after 123 years of partition — which is why Wilson Square in Warsaw exists. Herbert Hoover fed Europe after the First World War — a gesture of generosity that Poles still remember. But at Yalta in 1945, Franklin Roosevelt traded Eastern Europe to Stalin in exchange for Soviet entry into the Pacific War — or so the Polish reading goes. “We were sold,” Gebert says flatly. Reagan's support for Solidarity rehabilitated the American image. Trump's presidency has damaged it again. The cycle is long but the memory is longer. • Solidarity and America: Personal History: Gebert was a Solidarity activist and underground journalist — writing under the pseudonym Dawid Warszawski — during the 1980s. The movement was sustained, in part, by American moral and material support: the Reagan administration, the CIA, Western unions, the Catholic Church in America. For Gebert's generation, America meant: someone in the world cares about us. Someone knows what is happening in Warsaw. We are not alone. That is the emotional core of the Poland-America relationship. Trump's abandonment of Ukraine — not just Ukraine but the principle that democracies defend each other — tears at that core. • Gaza, Genocide, and the Precision of Language: The conversation's most unexpected and bravest section. Gebert — as a prominent Polish Jew, Solidarity activist, and scholar of comparative genocide — refuses the word “genocide” for Gaza, and explains why. The legal and historical definition, established at Srebrenica and Nuremberg, requires evidence of systematic intent to destroy a people as such. What is happening in Gaza is, he says, horrifying, criminal, and a moral catastrophe for Israel. But the precision of the word “genocide” is what gives it its power to prevent future atrocities. Diluting it into a synonym for mass killing weakens the concept at the moment we most need it. The Nazis' General Plan Ost would have turned to Slavs next. That is the context in which the word was forged. About the Guest Konstanty Gebert (also known as Dawid Warszawski) is a journalist, author, and Jewish activist, and one of Poland's most celebrated public intellectuals. He was a democratic opposition activist in the 1970s, an underground journalist during martial law in the 1980s, a co-founder of Gazeta Wyborcza in 1989, a war correspondent in Yugoslavia in the 1990s, and co-founder of Midrasz, Poland's leading Jewish intellectual monthly. He is an Associate Fellow of the European Council on Foreign Relations and has taught at Hebrew University, UC Berkeley, and Grinnell College. He is the author of more than a dozen books in Polish, covering Poland's Round Table negotiations of 1989, the Yugoslav wars, Israeli history, comparative genocide, and commentaries on the Torah. References: • Wilson Square, Warsaw — named for President Woodrow Wilson, whose 14 Points included Polish independence; renamed Paris Commune Square under communism, restored in 1989. • Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points (1918) — Point 13 called for an independent Poland with access to the sea. • Herbert Hoover's post-WWI European relief programme — referenced as an act of American generosity Poles still remember. • The Yalta Conference (1945) — where Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to Soviet influence over Eastern Europe, which Poles describe as a betrayal. • Srebrenica — referenced as the legal touchstone for the definition of genocide in international law. • Andrew Keen's forthcoming book: Where Have You Gone, Bobby Kennedy? My Search for a Lost America — the conversation is part of Andrew's European research trip for the book. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer a...
“The most vulnerable are almost always children, because they don't have any ability to change their circumstance. They don't start these wars. They are powerless to stop them, but they suffer so much in these situations.”Nada Tawfik speaks to Catherine Russell, executive director of UNICEF, the United Nations agency responsible for protecting and supporting children.Before taking up the role in 2022, she spent decades in government and diplomacy, including as assistant to President Joe Biden as well as serving in senior roles at the US State Department focused on global women's issues and international development. Now leading UNICEF at a time of unprecedented conflict, displacement and humanitarian need, she talks about the impact of aid cuts and the challenges facing children around the world.

Guest: Allison Dunn, Executive Business Coach, Founder of Deliberate Directions, Host of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast, Author of Think First: Stop Being the Bottleneck. Start Building Thinkers.Episode summaryAllison Dunn has spent thirty years coaching entrepreneurs and executives — over a thousand of them — and has just written her first book. But this conversation is about so much more than a business framework.Allison's premise: the most capable, most driven leaders eventually become the very bottleneck holding their organizations back. Not because they're failing — because they're succeeding in exactly the way that made them successful in the first place. They keep having the answers. And in doing so, they unintentionally teach everyone around them to stop thinking.Laurie and Allison dig into the five strategic thinking methods in Think First — and why the book reads less like a typical business book and more like a practical manual you'll actually use. But the conversation goes much deeper than the framework. Allison opens up about writing the book in the wake of losing her husband Mark and, shortly after, her mother — and what that loss taught her about legacy, about outgrowing an old version of herself, and about finally clarifying what actually matters now.This one is for anyone leading a team, a family, a household, or just their own life — and tired of being the only one solving every problem.What we cover in this episodeAllison's origin story: getting into a New England prep school at 16, being told no by her parents, and the single question her future father-in-law asked that changed the trajectory of her lifeThe unlikely, full-circle story of how Allison ended up relaunching Deliberate Directions, the same company originally founded by her late husband's fatherWhy Allison wrote Think First now, and the personal loss that made the timing undeniableThe core premise: why becoming "the answer person" is the most common — and most dangerous — habit of successful leadersMethod One: Clarify What Matters — why most of us are achieving goals without ever stepping back to ask if they're still the right goalsThe difference between addition and multiplication, and why most leaders (and most of us, in life) keep adding instead of finding leverageThe Post-it note on Allison's computer: "Is this urgent or is this important?" and how that single question changes daily decision-makingWhy having all the answers is, in Allison's words, "the worst thing you could possibly have" as a leaderA generational shift in how leaders approach balance, autonomy, and contribution ...and what Gen X is learning from the generation coming up behind themThe identity piece: why letting go of "I have to have all the answers" is so difficult, and what it actually requiresAllison's reflection on outgrowing the version of herself who had a five-year plan with Mark, and what it looks like to rebuild clarity after profound lossWhat Mark would say about Think First being out in the worldQuotable moments"Could you give it the possibility that you could earn the tuition without your parents?" — the question that changed Allison's life at 16"Having all the answers is the worst thing you could possibly have" as a leader."Is this adding or is this multiplying?""I've outgrown the old version of myself.""Too many people hold onto the version of themselves that someone else expected them to be... as things change, letting those old versions go and getting back on track to clarify what matters.""It's not my job" — on no longer carrying the weight of what other people think."It's about the journey. And when you have the time, take it."Resources + links mentioned→ Think First: Stop Being the Bottleneck.

Genesis 34 is one of the darker passages in Scripture. In this chapter, Dinah, Jacob's daughter, is defiled by Shechem. When Jacob's sons find out, they respond with deceit and violence, destroying Shechem and his people. So how does a passage like this apply to our lives today?
