John welcomes longtime Democratic strategist, former White House adviser and U.S. Ambassador to South Africa for Barack Obama, and current Zohran Mamdani political sherpa Patrick Gaspard back to the show for a special two-part episode. In this installment, Gaspard assesses the first year of Donald Trump's second term; how Democrats are faring in their efforts to counter and cope with a pathological president; and what the national party can learn from Mamdani's refusal to tamp down the loftiness of his rhetoric or the scale of his policy ambitions.

The list of one year accomplishments under the Trump administration is a long one, the White House touted 365 days and 365 wins. Things move so rapidly that we tend to forget how many things have gotten done during President Trump's first year in office. From securing the border to foreign policy, today our panel shares what they think are the greatest accomplishments of year one. With a cabinet full of rockstars, who stands out the most? President Trump secured framework for a deal in Greenland, which includes pockets of land, mineral rights and sovereign U.S. bases. Michelle Obama exposed herself as fashionably racist, stating she makes not of the skin color of the designer and her inclination to support black and minority companies. Meanwhile, in her photoshoot appearances she wears Prada, Michael Kors and a $4000 pair of Balenciaga boots. Newly elected Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger had a field day implementing new Democratic policies, which mainly included raising taxes on Virginians.

Welcome back to The Soul Star Podcast for the first episode of 2026! Mandy and Alli come together to explore the collective themes shaping the year ahead, diving into transformation, endings, and powerful new beginnings—both personally and globally.✨ In This Episode: Starting Fresh in 2026: Mandy reflects on returning to the podcast after a break and honoring slower, seasonal energy on the West Coast rather than pushing through it.Seasonal Wellness & the Body: Alli shares insights from meditation and acupuncture, including guidance around anti-inflammatory foods like celery, turmeric, and ginger, and how seasonal eating supports metabolism and energy.Anchoring Energy During a Pause: Mandy opens up about feeling “in between” and realizing her current soul role is to anchor intense incoming energies for her close circle while in a purposeful pause.The Spiritual In-Between: A powerful conversation around trust, veiling, and the discomfort of waiting—why not knowing what's next is often part of the lesson.The Collective Energy of 2026: Mandy and Alli discuss 2026 as a pivotal year where old systems (financial, governmental, educational) begin to truly crumble, making space for new solutions, technologies, and ways of living.Chaos as a Catalyst: Using metaphors like storms and purging, they explore how what feels like chaos is actually corruption and dysfunction surfacing so it can be cleared.Community & Self-Reliance: Mandy shares an inspired idea for a local canning and trading circle—each person grows and preserves one item to exchange and stock pantries collectively.Creative Contribution: Alli agrees to participate by offering handmade wellness products, honoring that contribution doesn't have to look one specific way.Akashic Records & Timelines: Alli shares a vivid meditation experience visiting her Akashic records, witnessing timelines dissolve until one golden, highest-aligned path remained.Free Will & Destiny: Mandy reflects on seeing her life book being written in real time, emphasizing that choice creates new timelines instantly.Music as Healing: Alli opens up about her calling to sing as a form of healing, working through fears of being seen or “showing off,” and reclaiming music as a universal language meant to be shared.2026 as a Year of “Death”: Not physical death, but the death of identities, careers, relationships, and directions—making room for rebirth and new beginnings.Souls, Choice & Transition: A compassionate discussion about souls choosing when to leave, the waves of passing in recent years, and the idea of souls returning as “children of the new Earth.”Numerology & Reset Energy: Mandy shares that 2026 carries “Year One” energy—fresh starts, deep resets, and easier unhooking from old patterns, supported by a strong forward-moving wave.What's Coming Next: Mandy and Alli commit to more episodes in 2026, including topics like telepathy, telekinesis, and a deeper series on death and transition. Alli confirms her Year Ahead Readings are still available, with digital and interactive options (closing at the end of January).

Movie of the Year: Best of the Year 2025The MixtapeThe 2025 Mixtape as a Time CapsuleEvery year leaves behind more than movies — it leaves a sound.In this episode of Movie of the Year, the Taste Buds come together to create the 2025 Mixtape, a curated playlist designed to capture what the year felt like through music. Rather than ranking songs or chasing chart placement, the panel builds a living soundtrack that reflects the moods, moments, and cultural undercurrents of 2025.The goal of the 2025 Mixtape isn't consensus.It's memory.What the 2025 Mixtape Is (and Is Not)The 2025 Mixtape isn't about declaring “the best songs of the year” in isolation. It's about sequencing, contrast, and flow — how songs interact when placed side by side, how energy builds or collapses, and how a playlist can tell a story.This episode explores questions like:What song opens the year?Where does the emotional peak land?When does the mixtape need to slow down?And what track closes the door on 2025?The playlist is treated as a narrative, not a ranking.Choosing Songs That Define 2025As selections are made, the panel debates what qualifies a song for inclusion on the 2025 Mixtape. Is it cultural impact? Longevity? Personal obsession? Or the ability to instantly transport listeners back to a specific moment in the year?The conversation weighs:singles versus deep cutsmainstream hits versus discoveriessongs that grew over time versus immediate standoutsTogether, the picks form a portrait of how music functioned in daily life throughout 2025.Genre, Mood, and the Shape of the YearOne of the episode's central tensions is the extent to which the musical landscape of 2025 is truly diverse. The 2025 Mixtape moves across genres, tones, and emotional registers, reflecting a year that resisted easy categorization.The discussion touches on:pop's evolving extremeship-hop's shifting centerIndie music's changing rolegenre-blurring experimentationand songs that moved from background noise to personal anthemsThe result is a playlist that mirrors the year's complexity rather than flattening it.Flow Matters: Sequencing the 2025 MixtapeMore than any single song, sequencing becomes the battleground. A great track can still feel wrong if it breaks momentum or disrupts the mood. The panel debates transitions, tonal shifts, and the extent to which a listener can handle emotional whiplash.This is where the episode gets deeply nerdy — and deeply satisfying.The 2025 Mixtape isn't just assembled.It's designed.Why the 2025 Mixtape MattersYears blur together.Playlists don't.The 2025 Mixtape

Welcome back to the WhitetailDNA Podcast! On today's episode, we recap year one on the River Farm that Jeremy purchased in June of 2025. It was a full sprint to get the property ready for the 2025 hunting season.

The guys talk over reality when it comes to your first hunting season on a new property, and what expectations should be like. Looking ahead, Jeremy explains what worked, what failed, and what is planned for 2026 on the River Farm.

Jordan Harper built an eight-figure skincare brand in its first year by maxing out five credit cards while already $500,000 in debt — and never raised a single dollar from investors. In this interview, the founder of Barefaced breaks down how years of treating patients as a nurse practitioner revealed a massive gap in the skincare market, why simplifying routines unlocked explosive demand, and how a password-protected pre-order generated over 1,000 sales in 48 hours with no email list. What you'll learn in this interview: • How Jordan funded her business using credit cards instead of investors • Why simplifying to four SKUs drove eight-figure revenue • The exact pre-order strategy that validated demand before launch • How to build trust and repeat purchases without paid marketing • Why destroying inventory protected long-term brand value • How Barefaced reached a 90% repeat customer rate • The real risks of manufacturing and supplier contracts • How to hire senior talent without giving up equity • Jordan's time-blocking system for running a business and family • Why serving customers beats selling at every stage of growth By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to validate a product, fund a launch creatively, and scale a physical ecommerce brand without venture capital — while protecting margins, reputation, and personal bandwidth.

She unpacks why 2025's universal Year Nine felt like an emotional purge, marked by closures and identity shifts, and why the transition into early 2026 can feel so disorienting. She then explores the core themes of 2026 as a Year One: the shift from release to initiation, the slow return of motivation after burnout, and how to plant seeds with intention—choosing direction over certainty as you begin the next chapter.

Zac reflects on his first full year in office — a year that included becoming a father for the second time on inauguration night — and breaks down the major issues shaping South Baltimore and Downtown Baltimore today.   The conversation covers everything from the explosion of smoke shops, to the city's sweeping housing package, to the future of Downtown, to the day‑to‑day realities of representing one of Baltimore's most active districts.   Episode Highlights A wild first month: Zac's son was born the same night he was sworn in, kicking off a year of balancing newborn life with the demands of public office.

Parking minimums clarified: He addresses concerns from South Baltimore residents and explains what actually changes (and what doesn't).

Batman needed a new beginning — and in 2005, he got one.On this episode of Moving Panels, Laramy is joined by Tim Williams and Blake Fowler to break down Batman Begins, the film that redefined what a Batman movie — and a superhero origin — could be.We talk about the deliberate decision to delay Bruce Wayne becoming Batman, the influence of Year One and The Man Who Falls, and why fear is the central theme holding the entire movie together. From the League of Shadows and the Ra's al Ghul misdirection, to Scarecrow as a psychological weapon rather than a final boss, to the importance of characters like Carmine Falcone and Lucius Fox, this episode explores how Batman Begins earns its mythology instead of rushing it.We also discuss Thomas Wayne, Rachel Dawes' view of Bruce's true identity, the destruction of Wayne Manor, and why Gotham itself feels like a system that needs confronting — not just a city that needs saving.Is Batman Begins still the gold standard for superhero origin stories?There's only one way to find out.

In this episode of The Art of Building a Brand, Lara shares a candid “wins + mistakes” review from her first year building Black Castle Homes. What actually moved the needle, what felt misaligned, and the decisions she'd make differently if she started again.If you loved what you heard, don't forget to give the pod a review.Follow along with LaraInstagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/laradollkennedy/⁠Pinterest: ⁠https://www.pinterest.com/laradollkennedy/Other mentions:Brand Design: https://www.instagram.com/hellotayloramy/SEO/Blogging/Pinterest: https://www.instagram.com/oliveandvinesocials/

Michael Green: How he made $700K in year one (after not billing for 6 years)Michael Green spent six years running teams of 100+ recruiters.Building offices. Managing people. Zero placements.When he launched Unico in April 2024, he had to go back to basics."I had to do role plays to myself. I hadn't qualified a candidate in six years."Day one was brutal. Just him, his house and a dog.But Michael had something most recruiters don't: a genuine answer to "what makes you different?"While everyone else competed on job boards chasing $30K fees, Michael went the opposite direction.Senior positions only. Architect level and above.New York Location onlyHis average fee jumped from $30K to $60K overnight.His biggest placement? $170,000.12 months later: $700K gross profit. Solo.Year two: $1.5M with just four people.But here's what makes Michael different.He's not scaling headcount - he's scaling quality.Ultra-niche: ServiceNow and bleeding-edge SaaS. One technology. Total focus.Last week, a major partner messaged him: "I've seen your posts. I've heard your reputation. We want to use you exclusively."He'd never spoken to them before..He's now targeting growth15 profitable recruiters and $3M in 2026.This week on The RAG Podcast, Michael tells the full story.We cover:- Why he walked away from running 200 people to start from scratch- How he made $700K in year one after six years out of recruitment- The "top 3%" model that clients can't say no to- Why he pivoted from $30K to $100K+ fees overnight- The AI screening tool that's changing his close rate- His LinkedIn strategy that generates 70% conversion ratesThis isn't about scaling fast.It's about a man who had to relearn his own trade, doubted himself daily, and built a $1.5M business in 20 months that doesn't require 100 heads to hit seven figures.No venture capital. No growth-at-all-costs.Just profitable headcount over vanity metrics.If you've ever wondered whether you can start your own agency after years of management - or if there's a smarter way to scale than just adding bodies – this episode has the blueprint.__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time.

The start of a new year can feel surprisingly heavy—especially for working moms. Even with the best intentions, January often brings pressure to move quickly, get organized, and figure everything out right away. Before long, peace is replaced by urgency, and hope gives way to overwhelm. In this episode, we slow things down. Instead of rushing into plans, goals, or productivity, you're invited to begin the year from a different place—staying close to God rather than striving for clarity. Drawing from Scripture and the example of Jesus, this conversation reminds you that a peaceful start doesn't come from having everything decided. It comes from abiding, listening, and letting God set the pace. You'll hear encouragement for releasing pressure, embracing stillness, and approaching the new year with trust instead of urgency. This episode centers on one simple, Spirit-led question that can help you experience peace when life feels full and the road ahead feels uncertain. If you're a working Christian mom who already feels behind—or who wants to start the year faithfully without burning out—this episode will meet you right where you are.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why the beginning of the year often feels rushed and overwhelming What the Bible teaches about peace, stillness, and staying rooted in Christ How Jesus modeled beginning from intimacy, not urgency One question that helps replace striving with peace A gentler, faith-filled way to start the year as a working mom   A Question to Carry With You This Week: Where in your life is God inviting you to stay close instead of striving? You don't need to answer this all at once. Return to it in quiet moments—during your commute, in prayer, or when you feel pressure to rush ahead. Peace often comes not from clarity, but from closeness.   Helpful Resources: Faithfully Balanced Course If this episode encouraged you and you want a deeper, guided way to build these rhythms into your daily life, don't miss the holiday sale on my Faithfully Balanced Course. This is the lowest price of the year, and it's designed to help working Christian moms move from overwhelmed to peacefully present in just four weeks.

Regenerative practices lead to higher quality and much higher prices in year one and, over time, to lower costs, which makes the regenerative business case in certain cash crops that are exported (spices, tea, coffee, etc.) so strong that it almost spreads on its own. Nothing is easy, but this is really hopeful. In this conversation with Thekla Teunis and Gijs Boers, founders of Grounded, Grounded Ingredients and Grounded Investment Company, we discuss why quality is intimately linked to regenerative practices.We talk about why we don't need transition finance in many cases, but we do need philanthropic capital to figure out what regenerative looks like in specific circumstances. When that research and development (in other sectors we would call that R&D ) is done, it can be rolled out profitably and relatively easily with more commercially focused, return- driven capital.We talk about why it's easier to act regeneratively in many places in the Global South (easier, not easy). And we talk about the why of super hands-on investing. Knock knock- there are regenerative barbarians at the gate. What if we do private equity right and use it as a tool for good?More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

In Episode 53 of The Narrative, Burning Bright and Alpha Warrior continue their discussion of “The Golden Age,” returning for part two with a deeper examination of power, perception, and long-term narrative management. The episode moves through ongoing geopolitical developments, media framing, and public expectations, focusing on how belief, optimism, and patience are tested during periods of transition. Burning Bright and Alpha revisit recent events and reactions, questioning assumptions about timing, accountability, and outcomes while emphasizing the importance of restraint and discipline in both analysis and action. The conversation touches on psychological pressure, information overload, and the danger of premature conclusions, particularly when narratives are still unfolding. Throughout the episode, the hosts stress pattern recognition, historical context, and the need to remain grounded rather than emotionally reactive. The discussion closes with reflections on endurance, perspective, and why the early stages of any “golden age” are often the most uncomfortable and misunderstood.

2026 - Bliain Úr faoi Mhaise DaoibhseA very happy New Year to all readers of this column, to the staff of the Belfast Media Group and The Irish Echo. And to you good readers who have stayed with me over the years.None of us know what 2026 will bring but we can be sure it will be interesting. May it also be good to you all and to your families. Beirigí bua. Eyes On The Prize. 2025 was a good year for Irish Unity. All of those advocating for a new Ireland, including Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland, worked hard and effectively promoting the message that Irish Unity will be good for the people of the island of Ireland. Crucially, both houses of the Oireachtas, the Dáil and the Seanad, passed motions calling on the Irish government to begin the process of planning and preparing for Unity referendums. These include The Oireachtas Good Friday Agreement Committee. This is the only all-Ireland committee in Leinster House. It is unique in that Members of Parliament from the north join TDs and Senators to work on issues relating to the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.The Good Friday Agreement remains the basis for relations on the island of Ireland and between the islands of Ireland and Britain. However, its implementation has been challenged, principally by indifference from London and a lack of consistent and positive leadership from Dublin.‘I'm so scared, please come'For as long as I have been a republican activist I have been reading and writing about the impact of British colonialism on peoples around the world. As the largest empire in human history Britain's conquests and exploitation of other places resulted in untold misery, death and hardship for those living under British rule - not least here in Ireland. To maintain its domination, the British Empire used violence and dehumanised the peoples it sought to exploit. Behind its claim of being a guardian of the ‘rule of law' Britain stole land and property, exploited mineral resources and reduced native peoples to little more than slaves.Among those many locations was Palestine. British policy is largely responsible for the decades of war that have plighted that land for a hundred years. Current British government policy is facilitating the genocide of the Palestinian people by the Israeli apartheid regime.I have visited Palestine and Israel on at least four occasions, including the Gaza Strip in 2009. I walked along the ‘separation wall' – a monstrous perversion designed to imprison Palestinians into smaller and smaller ghettoes.

In Episode 52 of The Narrative, Burning Bright and Alpha Warrior examine how perception is shaped, controlled, and weaponized through media framing, psychological conditioning, and managed opposition. The conversation walks through how narratives are constructed to limit public choices while presenting the illusion of freedom, focusing on emotional manipulation, fear cycles, and engineered consensus. The hosts break down how competing storylines are often designed to lead audiences to the same predetermined outcomes, regardless of which “side” appears to win. Throughout the episode, they stress the importance of pattern recognition, historical awareness, and resisting reactive thinking. The discussion also touches on personal responsibility, discernment, and the necessity of stepping outside manufactured narratives to regain agency. Rather than offering predictions, the episode emphasizes understanding the mechanisms behind narrative control and why recognizing those mechanisms is the first step toward breaking their hold.

The show then examines major policy wins, including vaccine schedule reforms, SNAP food changes, microbiome science, FDA and HHS actions, and challenges to Big Pharma and Big Food. The episode closes by connecting food systems, agriculture, environmental health, and personal responsibility into a unified framework for building long-term resilience heading into 2026.

After a full year of conversations, shared experiences, and hard-earned lessons, the first season of Grade 1 View has reached the finish line. In this final wrap-up episode with our first four hosts, we're reflecting on what it truly takes to survive and grow through nurse anesthesia school, clinicals, graduation, and the transition into practice. Today's show is honest, personal, and often humorous, covering everything from the emotional toll of clinical rotations to the shock of becoming a “real” CRNA overnight. Find out what surprised us the most, the moments that nearly broke us, and the experiences that ultimately shaped our confidence, resilience, and identity as anesthesia providers. Thank you for being a part of the journey, but stay tuned for the next iteration of the show. We'll have four more SRNAs or RRNAs taking the reins for year two, and that announcement will be coming soon! Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

BT dives into the Jets' recent "no-shows" and the firing of Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks. While acknowledging that Aaron Glenn deserves a pass for year one due to wretched quarterback play, injuries, and a lack of talent, BT warns that Glenn's grace period is quickly expiring. The conversation pivots to the alarming trend of Glenn's poor in-game assessment and his failure to make adjustments, particularly during the Justin Fields catastrophe. BT stresses that the Buck must stop with Glenn for bad hires and personnel decisions, and his ability to survive future mistakes is rapidly decreasing, emphasizing that protecting modern players only goes so far when the team is getting "smoked.
