Guy Ritchie directed it, and it sounded like a very cool and very unique environment to be a part of... We catch Hero and Donal at the very start of the press run, but already they have their off-screen chemistry down to science as they let us all in on the process, which is one that embraces spontaneity while being fully prepared. Along with the blend of loose / tight, we also hear about the musicality of the script which includes meticulous cadence, having room to present ideas and creative input on set, the importance of careful scheduling and also how to portray the Mind Palace. Many have attempted it... What will this iteration look like?

SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this Money Making Conversations Masterclass episode, Rushion McDonald interviews Sonia Balfour‑Fears, a high‑ranking Global Sports & Entertainment Director and Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley. Sonia discusses the Black wealth gap, financial literacy, investing basics, barriers that minorities face in wealth-building, and the realities of long-term investing. She emphasizes education, discipline, and access as critical factors for closing the wealth gap. She also explains how investors of different ages—from young adults to retirees—share a common need: guidance and a financial plan. Sonia breaks down misconceptions about stock market participation, cryptocurrency, “hot stocks,” risk tolerance, dividend investing, and the best way to start investing even with small amounts of money. Throughout the interview, Sonia provides approachable frameworks for beginners—emergency funds, diversified investing, index funds—and stresses that it’s never too late to begin investing, even at age 60 or older.

A young woman from Inner Mongolian shares her cultivation path since obtaining Dafa in 2018. After an initial challenge dealing with the loss of her father-in-law, and paying his debts, she resolved to put others first and agreed to sell her apartment to settle the finances. She has carried this mentality forward in work life as well; through her selflessness she harmonizes the environment, clarifies the truth about Falun Gong, and helps to save people. This and other experience-sharing from the Minghui website.Original Articles:1. A Young Falun Dafa Practitioner's Cultivation Path2. I Finally Became a Falun Dafa Practitioner in My Old Age3.

Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia break down a chaotic weekend in American track and field headlined by a lead vehicle disaster at the USATF Half Marathon Championships and a slate of big results at the USATF Indoor Championships.Discussed:– The 2026 USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta were thrown into chaos when a lead vehicle guided the top women off course in the final mile with Jess McClain holding a big lead at the time. Molly Born, who stayed on course, won in 69:43. McClain, Emma Grace Hurley and Ednah Kurgat all filed appeals immediately after.– USATF's jury of appeals acknowledged the course was inadequately marked but said it had “no recourse within the rulebook” to alter the results, which was a ruling that drew widespread backlash. Atlanta Track Club CEO Rich Kenah took full responsibility.– Because the race served as the selection event for the 2026 World Athletics Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, the wrong turn didn't just cost the leaders prize money but also potentially cost them spots on Team USA. The selection situation is a tangled mess with no clean fix under current rules.– Cole Hocker won the men's 3,000m in a blanket finish in 7:39.25. Young missed the World Indoor team by .01 to Yared Nuguse after drifting off the rail in the home straight.– Emily Mackay won the women's 3,000m in a five-second personal best of 8:30.01, outkicking Elle St. Pierre in the final stretch for her first US title.– Hocker and Yared Nuguse then faded to 5th and 4th in Sunday's 1500m, won by former UW teammates Nathan Green and Luke Houser.– 17-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus went 5-for-5 as a professional, winning the men's 800m in 1:46.68 with a tactically sharp performance.– Nikki Hiltz extended their US title streak to eight, winning the women's 1500m in 4:11.34.– Jordan Anthony won the men's 60m in 6.45, beating Trayvon Bromell and Noah Lyles.Plus: Tokyo Marathon recap, the Louis Hinchcliffe NCAA return and the Iowa State/Seth Clevenger doping investigation.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Preet Majithia | @preet_athleticsProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: A blast from the past, Olipop's Shirley Temple combines smooth vanilla flavor with bright lemon and lime, finished with cherry juice for that nostalgic grenadine-like flavor.

Savanna finally sits down with her ride-or-die, celebrity esthetician Candice, and let's just say this Bahamas trip was NOT what the brochure promised. Rock-hard beds, zero food, no towels, bed bugs, a shark that used Savanna as a chew toy, and somehow — they still had the time of their lives.

DRAMA! Bird drama! Here are some further-reading links if you want to verify that I’m not vilifying anyone: Buff-breasted Buttonquail: An image claimed to be of this species revealed Buff-breasted Buttonquail: Smoke & Mirrors A review of specimens of Buff-breasted Button-quail Turnix olivii suggests serious concern for its conservation outlook A painted button quail: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Back in episode 136 we talked about the button quail, because that episode was about tiny animals and the button quail is really tiny. But let's revisit the button quail this month, because we have a mystery associated with a particular species of button quail. Button quails generally live in grasslands and are actually more closely related to shore and ocean birds like sandpipers and gulls than to actual quails, but it's not very closely related to any other living birds. It can fly but it mostly doesn't. Instead it depends on its coloring to hide it in the grass where it lives. It's mostly brown with darker and lighter speckled markings, relatively large feet, and a short little tail. It eats seeds and insects along with other small invertebrates. The button quail is especially interesting because the female is more brightly colored than the male, although not by much. In some species the female may have bright white markings, while in others her speckled markings are crisper than the males. The female is the one who calls to attract a male and who defends her territory from other females. The female even has a special bulb in her throat that she can inflate to make a loud booming call. The male incubates the eggs and takes care of the chicks when they hatch. Baby button quails are fuzzy and active like domestic chicken babies but they're only about the size of a bumblebee. In many species, as soon as the female has laid her eggs, she leaves them and the male and goes on to attract another male for her next clutch of eggs. The various species of button quail live in different areas, including Africa, Asia, and Australia. The species we're talking about today is the buff-breasted button quail, which is native to one small area of Queensland, Australia. It grows about 9 inches long, or 23 cm, which is big for a button quail, most of which are closer to the size of sparrows, and it's reddish-brown with darker and lighter speckles. It's critically endangered due to habitat loss and introduced animals like cats and cattle. There are only an estimated 50 individuals alive today. But that's only an estimate, because no one has actually for sure seen a buff-breasted button quail since 1922. Also, I'm going to call it the BBBQ from now on because that name is hard to say. The 1922 specimen was shot by a naturalist who was collecting specimens for a museum, which was regrettably common at the time and led to a lot of endangered species being driven to extinction. The bird was already rare in 1922 and that was the last anyone saw of it until 1985, when someone reported seeing one. People flocked to the area in hopes of spotting it, but while there were lots of sightings, no one got a good picture of a BBBQ. All the pictures, and all the recordings of its calls, turned out to be of another species of button quail, a very similar bird called the painted button quail. It's been 100 years since the bird was last seen, so while we have lots of museum specimens, we don't have any modern sightings. That means two things. Either the buff-breasted button quail is probably extinct…or it never actually existed in the first place. There are two other species of button quail that live in the same areas where the BBBQ is found, the painted button quail and the brown quail. They're smaller but otherwise look very similar, especially the painted button quail. Maybe people were mistaking larger individuals of painted button quails as a different species. In 2018, a team of scientists from the University of Queensland conducted a search for the BBBQ. All they found were painted button quails. But they discovered something surprising that had never been documented before. During the breeding season, the female painted button quail's feathers are much more reddish-brown, while the rest of the year the feathers on her back are more gray-brown. The team also studied as many BBBQ skins as they could track down from museums, where they learned something else surprising. It turns out that it's not any larger than the painted button quail, which grows up to 8 inches long, or 20 cm. So the birds are the same size and during part of the year, they have almost identical plumage. Hmm. That doesn't mean the buff-breasted button quail never existed. One very distinctive difference between the painted and the buff-breasted species is eye color, with the former having red eyes and the latter having yellow. As far as I know a genetic study hasn't been carried out on the museum specimens, but it's likely that at least some of the specimens—maybe all of them—really are BBBQs. Scientists and bird enthusiasts are still looking for the bird, and that has led to a strange controversy. In early 2022, a naturalist named John Young published a photo on Facebook of what he said was a male buff-breasted button quail on a nest, a photo taken by a camera trap in a secret location. The location had to be secret so that no one would try to find the birds and scare them away or damage a nest. Young said he had 16 other photos of BBBQs but wasn't going to share them until he was ready to publish his findings. He was also raising money to continue his studies at the site. Another naturalist thought there was something fishy about the photo. He discovered that the picture is actually a cropped and flipped photo of a painted button quail bird and nest reportedly taken at a different site—published in 2018 by John Young himself and labeled by him as a painted button quail. Young had reused one of his own photos and assumed no one would notice. But it gets worse. Back in 2013, Young got photographs of another extremely rare Australian bird, the night parrot. One day we'll have an episode about it. It was such a big deal that he was offered a job by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, or AWC, to study the night parrot and the buff-breasted button quail. He documented sightings and produced photos of both birds, but he didn't stay in that job too long. That's because some people started getting suspicious of his parrot photos. After an inquiry into the night parrot photos, the AWC concluded that the eggs in a photo of a night parrot nest were probably fake. And Young's dubious photos go back even farther. In 2006 he claimed to have discovered a new species of parrot in Queensland, but while initially the Queensland government supported learning about the new species, it withdrew its support when the photo turned out to be…suspicious. It looked like Young had altered the coloration of a bird to make it look like a new species. When an expert requested the original photographs, Young said he'd deleted them. More recently, the 2018 painted button quail photo and the supposed 2022 BBBQ photo were examined by a forensic photography expert. Young had removed the metadata from both so no one could tell where they were taken, but there's a little white stone in both pictures that's identical, along with many other identical details. The problem with fake sightings and photographs is that it's actually making things worse for the buff-breasted button quail. The AWC and other conservation groups are trying to get the bird listed as endangered, which means funding for research and conservation. Now all that is in jeopardy because it's not clear if there have actually been any sightings of the bird at all. Hopefully the buff-breasted button quail is still around and someone will get genuine photos of it soon so it can be protected and studied. That's assuming it's a real bird in the first place. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!

Struggling with impulsive behaviors and meltdowns? Discover the 5 secret micro habits that build self control in kids and how small daily shifts strengthen executive functioning and emotional regulation. With expertise in Regulation First Parenting™, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge helps families decode dysregulation and build lasting calm. Self control isn't about stronger discipline or more motivation. It's a developmental brain skill built through regulated moments—not punishment. When the nervous system and executive functioning system work together, kids develop the ability to pause, delay gratification, and respond instead of react.It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. In this episode, we unpack the 5 secret micro habits that build self control in kids and how small, daily shifts help children develop real self control—without power struggles.Why does my child lack self control even with consequences?If discipline alone worked, your child would already have self discipline.When parents describe a lack of self control, they're seeing:Impulsive behaviorsExplosive emotionsTrouble waiting or delaying gratificationAvoiding tasks that require focusSelf control depends on a regulated nervous system and strong executive functioning (including working memory, self talk, and emotional control). If either system is offline, your child simply cannot access the skill—yet.Pressure doesn't build capacity. It exposes the gap.
Send a text Ep 276 -- Barbara Adler exposes Epstein party details — the supermodel who was inside Jeffrey Epstein's parties from 2004 to 2009 tells all. Prince Andrew, Naomi Campbell, David Blaine confirmed in the Epstein files, Victoria's Secret secrets, and the unpublished Michael Wolff article connecting Epstein to Princess Diana and Bill Clinton. Barbara Adler was the face of Abercrombie & Fitch and worked the Victoria's Secret catalog — her ex-fiancé was David Blaine's producer and everything she said about Blaine has now been confirmed in the files that just dropped. She saw Prince Andrew at the parties with young models and what the girls called him behind his back is worse than I expected. She tells you what you had to do to become a VS Angel — and why she was blacklisted for refusing. She gets into physical altercations with Naomi Campbell multiple times and what she walked into at 4am at Naomi's apartment will disturb you — plus a connection between Naomi, Diddy, and someone very powerful I need to dig into more. She tells me about the night Damon Dash drugged her at a party with Diddy and Jay-Z and what would have happened if one model hadn't woken her up. Janice Dickinson shows up in this doing something at Cipriani that nobody's talking about. I share my Gene Simmons and Cuba Gooding Jr. stories. Then I finish with the gold I found in the Epstein Files the actual blue print described by Epstein's reputable friend about his relationships with everyone post Florida arrest— Epstein had his arm around Princess Diana the night of the revenge dress, he was on the Trilateral Commission, and he was recovering looted monies for someone who sounds like a world leader. Bill Clinton is all over this and it doesn't match what he said at the hearings. This is Part 1.

There are moments in radio history where legends are made.This is not one of those moments.This is the episode where we voluntarily ate jelly beans that taste like burnt rubber, liver and onions, wet dog, and — yes — actual stink bug… all in the name of giving away concert tickets.Welcome to the Rizzuto Show's most statistically impossible round of “Good or Gross.”In today's funny podcast, the gang breaks out a fresh batch of Bean Boozled beans that have been “warming in the sun” like that somehow improves the situation. We spin the wheel, let callers predict “good” or “gross,” and if they're right, they win tickets. If they're wrong? We suffer. That's the system. That's the chaos.

Because professionalism.But here's the twist: we go FIVE straight “good” beans in a row. Five. In a game designed for suffering. Either the jelly bean gods smiled upon us, or the matrix glitched.Listeners walk away with tickets to Filter, Finger Eleven, Young the Giant, and Point Fest while we walk away with lingering flavor trauma and a renewed distrust of speckled candy.This episode is pure funny podcast chaos — the kind where optimism meets gastrointestinal fear and somehow wins.

“When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.” (Romans 5:6 NLT) In the 1800s in London, a little boy wanted to hear the great American evangelist D. L. Moody, who had come to town to preach. This little street urchin made his way across the entire city of London, risking his very life, with no food or proper shoes. After a long journey, he finally came to the great church where Moody was scheduled to speak. As he made his way up to the door, an old usher scowled at him and asked, “What are you doing, young man?” The boy said, “I am going to go hear the great evangelist D. L. Moody.” “Not looking like that! You are filthy. Go away!” The little boy was crushed. He was sitting on the steps, crying, when a black carriage pulled up in front of the church. Out of it stepped a large man. He saw the sad little boy on the steps and asked, “Young man, what is wrong?” The boy answered, “I came here to hear the great preacher D. L. Moody, but they won’t let me in the church.” “Is that so?” the big man said. “You just put your hand in my hand, and I will see what I can do to help you.” The little boy put his dirty little hand into the man’s big, clean hand. The man led him right down the middle aisle, past the usher who wouldn’t let him in, to the front row. The big guy sat him in a front-row seat. Then the man stepped up to the pulpit. That man was, of course, D. L. Moody. That young boy couldn’t get in on his own, but when he held Moody’s hand, he walked through the front door. So it is with us, because of Jesus. We are filthy in sin. In Psalm 51:5, David wrote, “For I was born a sinner—yes, from the moment my mother conceived me” (NLT). Isaiah 53:6 says, “All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all” (NLT). The apostle Paul wrote, “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard” (Romans 3:23 NLT). Because of our sinfulness, we have no hope of entering Heaven on our own. Our only hope is Jesus, who takes our dirty hand in His clean one and leads us to a front-row seat in God’s presence. As Paul puts it in the next two verses of Romans 3: “Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood” (verses 24–25 NLT). The frustrating reality for many people trying to establish themselves today is also the glorious reality of salvation: It all depends on who you know.

Mindy Diamond on Independence: A Podcast for Financial Advisors Considering Change
With Jim Dickson — Founding Partner and CEO, Elevation Point Overview Louis Diamond speaks with the founder and CEO of Elevation Point about building a next-generation independent platform focused on ownership, minority capital, data strategy, and scalable, durable advisory firms.

Watch… https://youtu.be/D0-y8Q-DYvg About this episode… For decades, advisors operated under the assumption that there was a single path to success—a defined route dominated by the largest and most prominent firms. Over time, the landscape of options expanded, and the independent space matured. With it came a new set of challenges: how to turn the pursuit of freedom and control into something durable, scalable, and ultimately into a true enterprise. Jim Dickson has been thinking through that challenge for most of his career. After two decades at Merrill, Jim went on to found Sanctuary Wealth (a story we shared earlier in this series), where he played a central role in shaping what supportive independence could look like for growing advisory teams. Today, his own journey has entered a new chapter with Elevation Point—a next-generation independent platform focused on helping advisors take business ownership to a new level, with alignment, scalability, and long-term value at the core. In this episode, Jim and Louis Diamond talk about what led Jim to this new chapter, including: Elevation Point's unique value proposition—and how it fills a gap in the landscape. The value of capital—and how Elevation Point adds value along the way. Increasing enterprise value—and what advisors can do to grow without sacrificing control. Ownership and alignment—and why “how much of the pie you actually own” becomes more important as firms grow. Growth and partnership—and what it really means to build a firm intentionally over time. AI, data, and technology—and how each can support better decision-making. This is a story about yet another evolution in the landscape of options available to advisors—and why the future of independence is less about exits and more about elevation.

His growth mindset for RIAs and independence-seeking advisors prioritizes an “advisor-first” approach, tailored to an advisor's values and long-term vision. Jim co-founded Elevation Point with Mark Penske in 2024 to serve as a value-aligned growth partner to independence-focused advisors and RIAs. Jim previously founded and built nationally recognized wealth management firm Sanctuary Wealth, which he launched in 2018. He was the visionary behind Sanctuary Wealth's Partnered IndependenceSM platform, providing elite advisors with all of the tools, services, and resources needed to fully and effectively serve their clients. Under Jim's leadership, it grew rapidly into one of the industry's top RIA firms, with more than $25 billion in assets and 76 partner firms in 28 states by 2023, when he left the firm. Prior to Sanctuary Wealth, Jim spent 20 years as a senior divisional executive building and leading strategy for Merrill Lynch in Indianapolis and Chicago. He began his career as an accountant at Ernst & Young in Indianapolis. Jim received his bachelor's degree in accounting and finance from Butler University, where he later served on the Board of Trustees for six years. He has been a leadership conference judge for FFA, a national non-profit organization preparing middle and high school students for careers in agricultural science, business, and technology.
Blizzard warnings outside, sonic weather systems inside. Matt and Sam pulled together twelve new tracks that cut through the February haze, from Bruce Springsteen's lightning-fast protest release to Charli XCX's orchestral, slow-burn elegance. The throughline is momentum—how artists old and new push ideas forward, whether by turning up the amps, sharpening the story, or stripping a feeling down to its essential parts.We start with the tradition of the protest song and how the modern pipeline lets Bruce write Friday, record Saturday, and shake feeds by Sunday. That urgency echoes across the mix: Moby and Jacob Lusk descend into winter stillness with a haunting piano rework, while Metric flips the phrase “victim of luck” into a catchy meditation on fortune's fallout. Foo Fighters slam back to a vintage roar, asking heavy questions with a grin, and Joe Jackson proves legacy doesn't mean nostalgic—his bright, narrative pop still lands clean.Midway, the energy pivots. Andrew Bird and Gavin Brivick give us a short, tender plea that lingers, then Young the Giant wrestle with belonging and the quiet art of not letting go. The Black Keys deliver a bluesy reminder that losses make the wins sweeter, and J. Cole sets 'Two Six' ablaze with tight imagery and shape-shifting flow. Charli XCX steps into cinematic mode for Wuthering Heights, weaving strings and restraint to let the emotion breathe.We close with memory and maintenance: Joyce Manor's snapshot of the bar that shaped a moment, and The New Pornographers' vow to keep the small flame alive—“my hands are cupped around a match.” If you're here for thoughtful lyrics, rock that punches, indie hooks, and a few gut-punch lines you'll carry all week, queue this one up and ride the arc with us.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-february-2026-new-music/pl.u-0KJxH4oxbV1.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with Moon casually announcing he's selling HALF HIS LIFE on Reverb like it's no big deal. Guitars, pedals, touring memorabilia, signed band merch — basically, if you've ever wanted to own a piece of pop-punk history (or just something Moon once accidentally stepped on), today's your lucky day. The man partnered with Reverb for an official artist shop launch, and yes, it's legit. Chicago-based. Fancy. Organized. Unlike this show.Then we pivot — violently — into the debut of The Riz Quiz, a rapid-fire trivia showdown that proved two things:People absolutely panic when asked simple questions.Kevin might secretly be a robot programmed for suburban dad knowledge.Contestants battled it out in a 60-second gauntlet of questions covering everything from St. Louis landmarks and sports teams to pop culture chaos like Wakanda, SpongeBob, and the boiling point of water (which, by the way, is apparently controversial now). We had ties. We had confusion. We had people muting their phones with their cheeks. It was beautiful.Kevin threw down a 12-point performance that had the studio stunned. Then Matt matched it. THEN Andrew matched it. The tension was real. The chat was furious. Moon questioned science center technicalities. King Scott started auditing answers like he works for the Department of Trivia Accuracy.And when given the opportunity to risk it all and win every prize — Finger Eleven tickets, Young the Giant tickets, and Point Fest passes — Kevin… took the safe route. A bold strategy for a daily comedy show built on questionable decisions. We roasted him appropriately.You'll also hear debate about St. Louis City SC naming semantics, mild outrage over freezing points, and the realization that pressure makes even smart people forget Jupiter exists.If you love competitive chaos, local pride, pop culture trivia, and watching grown adults argue over area codes, this daily comedy show delivers. It's fast, it's sarcastic, and it's proudly unhinged in the most lovable way.Missed it live on 105.7 The Point in St. Louis? Good news. This daily comedy show travels with you.

Young women hired to paint watch dials with radium were told the glowing substance was harmless — even as their jaws crumbled and their bones slowly turned to dust from the inside out.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: During World War I, hundreds of young women went to work in clock factories, painting watch dials with luminous radium paint. But after the girls — who literally glowed in the dark after their shifts — began to experience gruesome side effects, they began a race-against-time fight for justice that would forever change US labor laws.

When you are in the thick of raising children, it can feel overwhelming to sort through expectations, opinions, and the daily logistics of family life. In this conversation, Jennifer shares what nearly three decades of motherhood have taught her about choosing peace in each season, homeschooling at your own pace, navigating special needs with a focus on progress, and letting go of unnecessary pressure. This episode offers perspective and encouragement for building a peaceful family culture that reflects your unique family. In this episode, we cover: - Introducing Jennifer's family of seven children ranging from 28 to 12 years old, life on a Wisconsin cranberry farm, and decades of homeschooling - What no one tells you about having a wide age range of children and the surprising gift of older kids becoming your “allies” in family life - How perspective shifts as children grow up, get married, and start families of their own, and why the years truly do move faster than you think - Letting go of early motherhood pressures about tidy homes, perfect routines, and outside expectations in order to create a peaceful family culture - Rethinking homeschool success through the lens of progress over grade levels, especially when navigating special needs - Practical rhythms for homeschooling multiple children with different abilities without doing everything at the same time - The freedom that comes with age and experience—why comparison loses its grip and confidence grows over time - Overthinking in modern motherhood, the pressure to “get it right” the first time, and permission to change your mind as you grow - What it's actually like to become a young grandmother while still raising children at home and how that dynamic reshapes family life - Embracing the evolving nature of family seasons instead of trying to control or predict them View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

The Ides of April — Son of the Blade The world didn't change slowly. It changed in a theater… during a celebration… with a single blade. In Episode One of The Ides of April, we begin the story of Alexander the Great at the moment everything became possible — and everything became dangerous. When Philip II of Macedon, the most powerful ruler in Greece, is assassinated in front of a crowd, the future of the Greek world hangs in the balance. His heir is just twenty years old. Young. Unproven. Surrounded by rivals. What happens next is not hesitation. It's speed. It's violence. And it's the beginning of one of the most extraordinary rises in history. In this episode, we follow Alexander as he secures his throne, eliminates threats inside his own family, crushes rebellion in Greece, and sends a message that will echo across the ancient world: the son is more dangerous than the father. From the destruction of Thebes to the crossing into Asia, the campaign moves with breathtaking momentum. Along the way, Alexander begins shaping something as important as his army — his legend. Because from the very beginning, this was never just a war. It was a performance of destiny. By his mid-twenties, Alexander will defeat the Persian Empire, march into Egypt, and push his army toward India. His soldiers will begin to call him favored by the gods. And he will begin to believe it. But as the poet Pindar warned: Creatures of a day. What is a man? Glory burns bright. And it never burns forever. In this episode: • The assassination that changed the ancient world • The brutal consolidation of power inside Macedon • The destruction of Thebes — and the warning it sent to Greece • Alexander's first victories against Persia • The moment a young king begins to step into myth Why this story matters Alexander's rise wasn't inevitable. It was built on speed, ruthlessness, and a dangerous pattern: Risk. Danger. Victory. Every gamble worked. And when the world starts rewarding every risk… The most dangerous thing a leader can believe is that he cannot fail. Coming next Victory begins to change Alexander — his court, his army, and his sense of who he really is. He will adopt the customs of kings treated like gods. He will demand loyalty that feels like worship. And before long, the distance between Alexander and the men who once called him companion will grow so wide… That one of them will die by his hand.
Dr. Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, is a professor of neurology at Stanford School of Medicine who is discovering factors present in young blood and in exercised blood that can improve brain, heart and other organ health. We discuss how different organs age at different rates and how to accurately measure biological aging. We also discuss the specific proteins found in blood when we are young and that are increased by things such as exercise, sunlight exposure, short-term fasting, specific foods and social connection that can significantly increase vitality, restore youthful functioning of the brain and body and potentially increase lifespan.
