Ever feel like you're grinding hard but not moving the needle on what truly matters? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, we're resharing an epic Guest Guru training from our Happy Hustle Club featuring Craig Ballantyne — the “World's Most Disciplined Man,” author of The Perfect Day Formula and the Wall Street Journal bestseller Unstoppable. Craig's built a reputation for helping high-performers cut through the noise, prioritize like a boss, and focus on what actually matters for long-term success and happiness. And in this conversation, he drops some serious wisdom on what he calls “Level 10 Problems” — those make-or-break issues in your life and business that demand your full attention and best effort.Craig shares how most people unknowingly put “Level 10 Effort” into “Level 1 Problems” — spending massive amounts of energy on the wrong things while giving minimal effort to the big, critical challenges that could truly transform their lives. He breaks down how to spot these high-impact problems, why we often avoid them, and the practical, actionable steps to address them head-on. From business bottlenecks and tough conversations with underperforming team members to rekindling connection in a marriage that's gone cold, Craig doesn't just point out the problem — he gives you the roadmap to solve it.Here are a few gold nuggets you'll take away from this episode: tackle your most important problems first, even if they're uncomfortable. Understand that discipline isn't about doing more; it's about doing the right things consistently. Build and protect your relationships, because they're the foundation of both personal fulfillment and professional success. Make intentional time for the people and activities that matter most. And remember, avoiding the tough stuff only delays the growth and breakthroughs you're capable of achieving.This is one of those conversations that can flip a switch for you — where you start looking at your to-do list and your calendar differently, prioritizing with clarity, and putting your best energy where it counts. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start solving your true Level 10 Problems, you won't want to miss this one.

A Perimenopause bodybuilder shares her story on how to take up space and the history of women being strong before skinny. Book author, Anne Marie Chaker, will surprise you about women's empowerment and when skinny reared its ugly head. Stay ‘til the end and listen to a very subtle challenge we'll give you about messages to women. Strong does things Skinny Never Even Dreams About. - Debra Atkinson My Guest: Anne Marie Chaker is a veteran journalist and professional bodybuilder. During her career at The Wall Street Journal, from the Journal's regional editions to the Spot News Desk during the September 11 attack. She covered everything from politics, news events, consumer trends, education, workplace, and the major sociological shifts of our time. Her article “I Never Thought I'd Write This: I Am a Female Bodybuilder” generated more than 500k views since it was published in 2020. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:03:49] How did you start bodybuilding when you were recovering from postpartum depression and other life events? [00:08:30] How has training changed now that you're in perimenopause? [00:13:47] What is it like being a perimenopause bodybuilder? [00:16:24] What are the roots of the obsession with “skinny”? [00:18:32] Is it true that the early woman was strong – women were hunters and not gatherers? [00:22:36] What is the difference between bodybuilding and figure competition? [00:25:24] How do you keep yourself from slipping down the body dysmorphia trail? [00:33:03] What is the future of body building for women? [00:37:05] In your book, ‘Lift', how do you propose women make the necessary mindset shift to own this and reclaim their physical power? Advice From A Perimenopause Body Builder Connect with a bodybuilder coach. Proper Nutrition: Eat more, track macros, and focus on protein. Shifted from cardio to heavy lifting. Be prepared for the commitment — training, nutrition tracking, and competition prep are demanding but rewarding. Life Transformation Better nutrition and training improved work performance and confidence. Feels like an athlete again after years away from sports. Difference Between Bodybuilding And Figure Competition Bikini Division: Athletic, lean, and muscular but not extreme. Figure Division: More muscle than bikini; slightly different posing style. Women's Bodybuilding: Most muscular category with distinct posing; fewer women compete in this today. Key Takeaways Strength over skinny – Building muscle and eating enough transforms health, confidence, and outlook. Nutrition is foundational – Tracking macros, especially protein, is key to physical and mental turnaround. Cultural pressures run deep – The obsession with thinness is relatively modern and a backlash to women's empowerment. Perimenopause isn't a limitation – With training and hormone therapy, women can thrive and compete at elite levels. Role modeling matters – Showing strength training and positive food talk can influence the next generation's mindset.

Leadership development can take two distinct types: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal growth targets on adding new skills, knowledge, and competencies broadening what a leader can do. Vertical development, on the other hand, alters how a leader thinks, perceives, and responds. This enables leaders to handle complexity, stress, and uncertainty by increasing maturity, emotional regulation, and perspective. While horizontal development can make a leader more capable in the short term, vertical growth boosts their ability to inspire and create lasting value. However, to achieve sustainable leadership impact, understanding both is the key. Ryan Gottfredson is a leadership expert, author, and researcher specializing in vertical development and organizational psychology. He is the founder and owner of Ryan Gottfredson LLC. He helps organizations vertically develop their leaders primarily through focusing on mindsets. He is also a leadership professor at the College of Business and Economics at California State University-Fullerton. Ryan is the author of the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller ‘Success Mindsets: The Key to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work, & Leadership'. He joined us today to talk about vertical development, which transforms leaders at their core. HIGHLIGHTS [02:25] Vertical development vs. horizontal development. [05:00] Maturity in vertical development. [07:19] Self-protection vs. value creation. [11:26] Developing metacognitive skills. [15:30] Jim Collins' Level 5 Leadership Framework. [23:12] Challenges of level 5 leadership. [27:13] The window of tolerance. [32:00] Managing stress at the moment. [35:50] Practical strategies to manage stress. KEY TAKEAWAYS Notice if your instinct under pressure is to protect yourself or create value. Resist the emotional comfort that can come at the expense of long-term innovation and growth. Even transformational leaders have flaws, accept imperfection. Prioritize value creation over self-protection. Recognize your current ‘window of tolerance' and notice what triggers you out of it. Manage stress proactively and avoid slipping into the self-protection mode.

Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order slapping India with a 25 percent special tariff due to its purchases of Russian oil. This surprise measure raised the total tariff on Indian exports to the United States to 50 percent—among the highest rates imposed by the United States on any country in the world.But India is not just “any country.” Over the last quarter-century, it has emerged as one of America's most valuable strategic partners. Trump's tariff move has plunged the bilateral relationship into crisis, raising difficult questions about the future of both U.S. and Indian foreign policy.Grand Tamasha emerged from its summer hiatus for an emergency episode to make sense of these developments and their global ramifications. For this special episode, Milan is joined by Grand Tamasha regulars, Sadanand Dhume of the American Enterprise Institute and the Wall Street Journal and Tanvi Madan of the Brookings Institution.The trio discuss the drivers behind Trump's decision, India's response to the crisis, and the future of India's policy of “multi-alignment.” Plus, the two discuss the U.S. government's 180-degree turn on Pakistan and the prospects for an amicable resolution of the U.S.-India trade spat by summer's end.Episode notes:1.

Terry Rice, a former Facebook executive turned keynote speaker and performance coach, shares his powerful transformation story from corporate alcoholic to successful entrepreneur after losing everything. He reveals his R3 framework (Reclaim, Realign, Rebuild) for personal and business transformation while emphasizing the importance of authentic personal branding over perfectionism. Terry demonstrates how being vulnerable about his struggles - including addiction, job loss, and family tragedies - has actually opened doors to bigger opportunities, including speaking at Google and having a documentary made about his life. Key Takeaways Character branding beats personal branding - Show your real self, including failures and struggles, rather than a polished façade that people can't relate to Own your flaws as fuel - Use your mistakes, challenges, and pain as branding material rather than trying to hide them - it creates deeper connections with your audience Authenticity opens unexpected doors - Being vulnerable about personal struggles can lead to major opportunities, as Terry's experience shows from one LinkedIn comment to a documentary deal Identity-first transformation works - Get crystal clear on who you are and what you represent before focusing on tactics, systems, or external business elements About Terry Rice Terry Rice is a keynote speaker, performance coach, and author who helps professionals align who they are with where they're going—then act accordingly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dQszSMliVA Alan Skorski had the opportunity to interview the foremost expert on Islamism and the Arab world, Dr. Mordechai Kedar. Dr. Kedar also served for 25 years in the IDF Military Intelligence Unit specializing in Syria, Arab political discourse, Arab mass media, Islamic groups, and Israeli Arabs. As someone who is fluent in Arabic, Dr. Kedar is often invited onto Arab and Muslim news programs to give his perspective on the news of the day, especially during times of war and conflict. 30 years ago, Dr. Kedar proposed the “8-state” solution to address the Israeli conflict with those Arabs identifying as Palestinian, having recognized what most of the world refused to, that there can never be and will never be a “2 -State solution” with any faction or offshoot of the PLO or Fatah. In the interview, Skorski reminded the audience that we are coming up on 700 days since the Hamas Muslim Brotherhood slaughtered over 1200 Israeli citizens and kidnapped over 250 innocent hostages on October 7, 2023. Since then, the IDF has surgically crushed the infrastructures in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. The media and so-called “humanitarian groups,” have focused all their attention on Gaza, accusing Israel of war crimes and genocide for allegedly withholding food from Gaza's civilians. In response, the morally bankrupt leaders in Europe, led by France and Britain, and followed by Canada, have threatened to recognize “Palestine” as some sort of punishment against Israel. These leaders claim that only a “2-state” solution will lead to peace and security. Never mind that the Palestinian Authority has rejected every offer made to them, and that Gaza was an independent state, NO PALESTINIAN leader is even calling for “2 states.” From the River to the Sea, opposes 2 states. There is only solution, intifada Revolution rejects 2 states. YET, Europe, western media, and many Democrats in America are calling for a “Palestine” that Palestinians don't want. In early July, the Wall Street Journal reported that Sheikh Wadee' al-Jaabari and four other prominent clan leaders from Hebron had signed a letter pledging peace and full recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. Their plan: Hebron would secede from the Palestinian Authority, establish an independent emirate, and join the Abraham Accords. With this news report, Dr. Kedar's 30 year-old prophecy resurfaced with renewed interest for his “8-state” solution, which would cut out the Palestinian terrorist leadership, and replace them with Arab tribal leaders to rule over themselves in designated Arab-run territories. Dr. Kedar cited Countries where clans have their own separate autonomy are more successful. We see this in countries such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, that have economic stability, safety, law, and order. These countries, by no coincidence, are run by clans: al-Sabah (Kuwait), al-Thani (Qatar), al-Nahayan (Abu Dhabi), al-Saud (Saudi Arabia), al-Hashem (Jordan), and so on. Compare these to the Arab countries where the clans are in disarray, such as Syria, Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. Dr. Kedar is the Vice President of a recently launched App, News-Rael that gives up to the minute accurate news items about Israel and the Middle East. Alan Skorski Reports 11AUG2025 - PODCAST

C dans l'air du 11 août 2025 - Sommet sur l'Ukraine : et si Trump réussissait ?Emission présentée par Salhia BrakhliaUne rencontre pour sceller l'issue de la guerre en Ukraine ? Trois ans et demi après le début de l'invasion russe, le président américain Donald Trump a annoncé, sur son réseau Truth Social, qu'il allait rencontrer en personne son homologue russe Vladimir Poutine, ce vendredi, en Alaska. Ce sommet fait grincer les dents des Ukrainiens car, pour l'heure, Volodymyr Zelensky n'a pas été convié aux discussions. D'autant que les déclarations de l'hôte de la Maison blanche sur de possibles "échanges de territoires" n'ont pas rassuré. Des déclarations qui laissent entrevoir que Donald Trump serait tenté de vouloir régler la guerre en Ukraine "comme un conflit entre magnats de l'immobilier", selon les mots du journal allemand Der Spiegel. Moscou convoite et revendique en effet la souveraineté sur la totalité de plusieurs oblasts, dont certains ne sont aujourd'hui qu'en partie sous le contrôle de ses armées, en échange de la paix. Selon le Wall Street Journal, les régions de Donetsk et de Lougansk, en plus de la Crimée, sont concernées.Inquiétudes chez les Ukrainiens donc, mais aussi chez les Européens. De nombreux dirigeants se sont appelés tout le week-end, souhaitant organiser une contre-attaque. Ils ont rappelé hier la nécessité de maintenir la pression sur le Kremlin. S'ils ont conservé un ton diplomatique et salué "le travail du président Trump pour arrêter le massacre en Ukraine", les dirigeants français, italien, allemand, polonais, britannique et finlandais, ainsi que la présidente de la Commission européenne se sont dit convaincus dans un communiqué commun que "seule une approche combinant une diplomatie active, un soutien à l'Ukraine et une pression sur la Fédération de Russie" pouvait réussir.Relégués au rang de simples observateurs, c'est sans eux qu'une nouvelle page de l'histoire va donc peut-être s'écrire vendredi entre deux présidents qui ne se sont pas rencontrés depuis 2019.Très loin de ces négociations, la guerre continue de faire rage sur le sol ukrainien. Une équipe de C dans l'air s'est rendue autour d'un point de stabilisation, situé très proche de la ligne de front. Les sodats blessés y sont évacués pour être ensuite répartis dans les centres de soins. Ils peuvent s'y reposer avant de repartir sur le front. Sur place, les combattants épuisés après trois années de guerre confient rester déterminés à ne rien lâcher. Ils continueront de se battre, car il est pour eux absolument hors de quetions de renoncer à des parties de territoire. Il leur est impossible d'envisager une telle issue pour leur pays.Mais auront-ils le choix s'ils se revrouvent abandonnés par Donald Trump au terme de ces néociations ? Ce dernier se rêve en effet en faiseur de paix. L'obtention du prix de Nobel de la Paix semble même devenue pour lui une véritable obsession. Elle est née d'une rancœur et d'une jalousie tenace vis-à-vis de Barack Obama, que Donald Trump jalouse et déteste. L'ancien président américain avait obtenu ce prix en 2009, neuf mois à peine après son arrivée à la Maison-Blanche. Trump n'a jamais digéré cette distinction. Il a récemment déclaré qu'il aurait déjà dû l'avoir quatre ou cinq fois. Il n'a pas ménagé sa peine en ce sens.N'est-ce pas à son initiative qu'après des années de conflit territorial, l'Azerbaizjan et l'Arménie, se sont engagées vendredi dernier à instaurer une paix permanente ? Mais pour l'heure, en dépit de ses efforts et de ses espoirs, ses écheccs restent patents. Le conflit en Ukraine, qu'il avait promis de régler en 24 heures ne semble pas sur le point de cesser et la bande de Gaza est toujours soumise à la très brutale invasion israélienne.LES EXPERTS :- Bruno TERTRAIS - Directeur adjoint de la Fondation pour la recherche stratégique - Conseiller géopolitique à l'Institut Montaigne- James ANDRÉ - Grand reporter - France 24- Marie JÉGO - Journaliste spécialiste de la Russie – « Le Monde » - Ancienne correspondante à Moscou- Oksana MELNYCHUK - Politologue ukrainienne - Présidente de Unis pour l'Ukraine

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Samuel Wilkinson from Yale for a truly fascinating and thought-provoking conversation about the intersection of science, faith, and evolution. Dr. Wilkinson shares the journey that inspired his book, Purpose: What Evolution and Human Nature Imply About the Meaning of Our Existence, and together we dig into some of life's deepest questions: Can science and spirituality really go hand in hand? How do evolution and faith both help shape our understanding of human purpose? We unpack everything from the “dual potential” within human nature, our capacities for both selfishness and sacrificial love, to the mysteries of free will, consciousness, and whether our brains are actually wired to tune into higher frequencies like love, positivity, and connection. We also challenge some big assumptions about the origins of humanity, what really drives our instinct to help others (even at great personal cost), and why strong family bonds are central to both our biology and our society. If you've ever wondered how science and spirituality might fit together, or questioned whether there's purpose woven into the process of evolution, this conversation is going to open your mind and encourage your spirit. Don't miss it! About Dr. Samuel Wilkinson, Samuel T. Wilkinson is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University, where he also serves as Associate Director of the Yale Depression Research Program. He received his MD from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. His articles have been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. He has been the recipient of many awards, including Top Advancements & Breakthroughs from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation; Top Ten Psychiatry Papers by the New England Journal of Medicine, the Samuel Novey Writing Prize in Psychological Medicine ( Johns Hopkins); the Thomas Detre Award (Yale University); and the Seymour Lustman Award (Yale University).

It's Friday, August 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus ISIS soldiers behead Christians in Mozambique, burning churches International observers are reporting that ISIS-aligned soldiers are beheading Christians and burning churches and homes in central and southern Africa – with some of the most brutal attacks happening in the nation of Mozambique, reports Fox News. The Middle East Media Research Institute – a counter-terrorism nonprofit based in Washington, D.C. – is sounding the alarm about what it describes as a "silent genocide" taking place by Muslim terrorists against Christians. Alberto Fernandez, their Vice President, spoke to Fox News. FERNANDEZ: “What we see in Africa today is a kind of silent genocide or silent brutal, savage war that is occurring in the shadows and all too often ignored by the international community. We see rampaging jihadist groups from West Africa and even in the south in Mozambique. “The fact, for example, is that jihadist groups are in a position to take over, not one, not two, but several countries in Africa. It is very dangerous for the national security of the United States, let alone the security of the poor people who are there.” Fernandez spoke bluntly about the goal of these Muslim terrorist groups in Africa. FERNANDEZ: “The goal is eliminating Christian communities completely. These jihadist groups want to eliminate all the Christians in that area, take that area over, and keep pushing.” And he's grateful for President Trump's willingness to become involved. FERNANDEZ: “The President's initiative in stopping the growing war between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, its neighbor, is very significant, because this could have become a terrible war. We know that jihadists like to take advantage of vacuums, security vacuums, ungoverned spaces.” The migration agency said Monday that attacks by Muslim insurgents in Mozambique's northern Cabo Delgado province displaced more than 46,000 people in the span of eight days just last month. Sixty percent of those forced from their homes were children. The Muslim jihadists of Africa would do well to follow the advice of Gamaliel, the Pharisee from the time of Christ. In Acts 5:38-39, he said, “Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” Amazon Web Services gives the Trump admin $1 billion coupon In the United States, Amazon Web Services is giving the Trump administration a $1 billion coupon to use their services for the federal government's digital transformation and artificial intelligence capacity, reports Politico.com. On Thursday, the General Services Administration announced a sweeping “OneGov” agreement with Amazon Web Services that would yield up to $1 billion in cost savings for federal agencies shifting to cloud services. But the Amazon deal is not exclusive. Similar OneGov agreements are in the works with other major cloud providers, including Microsoft and Google.

Trump cancels half billion dollars of federal funding for UCLA over anti-Semitism The Trump administration has canceled $584 million in grants for the University of California in Los Angeles, claiming they did not take a strong enough stance against on-campus anti-Semitism, reports One America News. UCLA recently reached a $6 million settlement with three Jewish students and a Jewish professor who sued the school in a civil rights dispute, claiming pro-Palestinian protesters were permitted to block them from accessing certain areas on campus in 2024. President Donald Trump's office announced that the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division found UCLA in violation of the Equal Rights Act of 1964 “by acting with deliberate indifference in creating a hostile educational environment for Jewish and Israeli students.” Catholic priest met homosexual prostitute in church parking lot Clemente Guerrero-Olvera, a Catholic parochial vicar at St. Ann Church in Clayton, North Carolina, was arrested and charged with soliciting prostitution with a 20-year-old man he allegedly met on the homosexual app named Grindr in the church's parking lot, reports LifeSiteNews.com. During an unrelated search for a missing person around 1:00 a.m. on August 4th, a police deputy spotted the young man, identified as Ja'Quavis Brinson, inside a vehicle in St. Ann's parking lot and another man, later identified as Guerrero-Olvera, who ran away, according to the Johnston County Report. The 47-year-old Catholic priest was promptly arrested and charged with felony solicitation of prostitution after an investigation revealed that he had arranged to meet the 20-year-old via Grindr, allegedly for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity. Guerrero-Olvera was booked at the Johnston County Detention Center and later released on a $2,500 secured bond. Brinson of Benson, North Carolina was charged with misdemeanor prostitution. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 says, “Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” Two weeks after cancellation, Colbert doubles down on liberal jokes And finally, it's been over two weeks since CBS announced on July 17th that it was cancelling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as of May 2026. In the first show after the cancellation was announced, the leftist comedian addressed the news. COLBERT: “On Friday, Donald Trump posted, ‘I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings.” (audience boos) “Over the weekend, it sunk in that they're killing off our show, but they made one mistake. They left me alive!” (audience laughs) However, Colbert has responded by doubling down on the same liberal jokes and liberal guests that made viewers (and advertising dollars) turn away in the first place, reports Newsbusters.org. According to a new Media Research Center study, Colbert's political jokes targeted conservatives and Republicans 95% of the time, and 100% of his political guests, in the two weeks since his cancellation, were liberals. In the eight episodes from July 21 through July 31, Colbert told 129 jokes about right-leaning individuals or groups compared to only seven about left-leaning people or groups. That 95% disparity is considerably higher than his 2023 number of 86% or 2024 number of 82%. The Late Show has been losing a whopping $40-50 million a year because Colbert has used his network platform to belittle half the country, reports the New York Post. COLBERT: “They pulled the plug on our show because of losses pegged between $40 million and $50 million a year. $40 million is a big number. I could see us losing $24 million, but where would Paramount have possibly spent the other 16 million? Oh, yeah.” (audience laughs) That was a dig, referencing the $16 million settlement CBS' parent company reached with President Trump just weeks ago regarding the deceptive editing of a 60 Minutes interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris to aid her candidacy. Here's the edited version which aired on 60 Minutes in a segment with CBS reporter Bill Whitaker. WHITAKER: “But it seems that Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu is not listening.” HARRIS: “We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.” And here is the unedited version, featuring Kamala's signature “word salad” which did not air on 60 Minutes. WHITAKER: “But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening. The Wall Street Journal said that he, that your administration has repeatedly been blindsided by Netanyahu. And in fact, he has rebuffed just about all of your administration's entreaties.” HARRIS: “Well, Bill, [long pause] the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. And we're not going to stop doing that. We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.” Exodus 20:16 records the ninth commandment that God gave Moses on Mt. Sinai. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 8th, in the year of our Lord 2025.
