When negative feedback shakes your confidence, it can be difficult to get back to feeling like yourself at work. In this episode, Anne and Frances help a struggling listener who has spent years toning herself down in the workplace after being told that she was too assertive — now, she feels that her modest approach is holding her back. Together, they use Anne and Frances’s “trust triangle” framework to explore how empathy, authenticity, and logic can help you rebuild confidence and trust with your colleagues, and share helpful confidence hacks for getting comfy with discomfort.

159. El Cid and the Enduring Culture Myth of the Reconquista II: El Campeador 1:15:58

6 днів тому1:15:58

1:15:58

This week we continue our look at the life and times of famed Reconquista-era knight and mercenary Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, known to posterity by the epithet El Cid. This week we will discuss the Christian response to the collapse of the Caliphate, the rise of the Almoravids, and begin to explore more deeply El Cid’s life and deeds, insofar as we know of them, and will attempt to sift apart truth from legend.

158. El Cid and the Enduring Culture Myth of the Reconquista I: al-Andalus 1:22:11

14 днів тому1:22:11

1:22:11

This week, we travel back to the Iberian Peninsula in the 11th Century CE and begin our discussion about one of the most formative events in the Western European historical tradition: The Reconquista. Traditionally, at least to Western historians, this has been a tale of the centuries long triumph of Christianity, Civilization, and Enlightened European Values over the despotic domination of the conquering Muslim hordes. This week we will introduce perhaps the most famous culture hero to emerge from this tumultuous era, El Cid, and explore the world into which he was born.

Never get involved in a trade war in Asia. This week is all about tariffs, growing international antagonism by the Trump administration with a particular focus on China, deportations to Salvadoran prisons, and attempts to force leading US Universities to capitulate to presidential demands.

This week, we discuss restaurant grease traps, the joys of Valentine's Day, Elon Musk's juvenile human shield, and we also say 'obsequious' a lot. Like during editing I realized it's kind of egregious. If you guys correctly count how many times we say it Evan won't go into the light. P.S. The music is bad on purpose in this one I swear.

Cam continues his Barbarians series by examining the first of our tribal confederacies: The Goths.
