While the news cycle is consumed with Donald Trump and the latest happenings in the presidential race, there is another story surfacing in headlines.  Men, prominent and accomplished men, are having extra-marital affairs in increasing numbers. They are destroying their families, their careers, and, often, the noble causes they have devoted themselves to through the years.

Last year, Stephen recorded a podcast entitled “Men and Affairs.” It was widely discussed and helped a great many men avoid the trap of[read more]

Karl Marx once said something to the extent that we largely understand the world, but the challenge now is to change it.

Whether we like it or not, politics is about more than policies and laws. It is also about appearance. In a video age, there is no escaping the fact that a political candidate’s manner often communicates more loudly than his or her words.

In this unique podcast, Stephen draws from his years as a communications consultant to explain how the dynamic of “tele” is hurting some presidential candidates and helping others. He explains how “bad tele” can be overcome and why it[read more]

The New Hampshire Primary on February 9th, 2016 was historic. Though its results are not likely to be repeated as the campaigns move south and west, they still indicate permanent shifts in the American political landscape.

After describing the numbers and the firsts of New Hampshire, Stephen also explains the leveling process that is happening in American culture and politics. He then urges caution. New Hampshire is “quirky” and results will likely normalize in the coming weeks. Still, Stephen joins[read more]

In Part 2 of The Simple Math of the 2016 Election, Stephen continues to argue that the electoral math has changed in recent years and not in the favor of Republicans. The Democratic Party is 5% larger than the Republican party now. This means that a Republican presidential candidate must win a significant portion of independents in order to take the White House.
Stephen argues that if Republicans want to win in 2016, they cannot do so from the[read more]

Politics is about many things and math is one of them. Sometimes, the numbers tell the tale. Though Stephen admits he isn’t good at math, some of the numbers that tell the story of the 2016 election are remarkably stark and simple.

Only 62% of Americans have life insurance and 40% of all Americans suspect they don’t have enough life insurance. These statistics confirm Stephen’s experience in recent years. He’s witnessed dozens of situations in which death nearly impoverished entire families, in which little preparation was made for the most certain of all eventualities—the end of life.

In this podcast, Stephen argues forcefully for the virtue of life insurance, wills, estate planning, and other means of preparation for death—particularly in the case[read more]

Time and again in American history, a misunderstanding of the world’s religions has led to disastrous policies. The lesson is that what our national leaders know about religion does impact our nation’s role in the world. What light does this shine upon our current slate of presidential candidates? Do they know what they need to know? Are any of them ready for the roiling religious conflicts that dot the globe? Or will these candidates merely repeat the errors of[read more]

A new year is upon us. In this last podcast of 2015, Stephen offers a guide for storming the new year prepared for all it might bring.
