Prepare Don't Repair

from Act ASAP · host Daniel Kilburn

Uncertainty is everywhere right now. From global instability to personal and financial stress, many people are being told the answer is to simply “learn to tolerate the unknown.”I disagree.In this episode of the Act ASAP Podcast, I explore a different approach—one shaped by decades of military leadership, disaster response, and lived experience. The truth is, uncertainty itself isn’t the real problem. The real problem is failing to prepare for what we already know.In this conversation, we break down why preparedness creates calm, how structure reduces anxiety, and why confidence under pressure isn’t accidental—it’s trained. I share personal stories from my time as a U.S. Army Senior Infantry Drill Sergeant, lessons learned from the Loma Prieta earthquake, and practical insights you can apply immediately in your family, business, or community.This isn’t about fear.It’s about leadership.Because it is always better to prepare than to repair.🎧 Listen now, reflect honestly, and decide where preparation could bring more calm into your life.Learn more at: eapready.com

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.

Mark Shaffer Philosopher Kings empowers next-gen professionals to think, speak, and act with knowledge, wisdom, and virtue.  Lum and Abner Old Time guoshibing The series was created by co-stars Chester Lauck (who played Columbus "Lum" Edwards) and Norris Goff (Abner Peabody). Lum always pronounced his own name as Ed'erds and was very annoyed if Abner or anyone brought up his full first name. The two characters performed as a double act, with Lum generally playing the straight man to Abner's attempts to break free from Lum's influence. As co-owners of the Jot 'em Down Store in the fictional town of Pine Ridge, Arkansas, the pair are constantly stumbling upon moneymaking ideas only to find themselves fleeced by nemesis Squire Skimp, before finally finding a way to redeem themselves. Lum and Abner played the hillbilly theme with deceptive cleverness.In addition to the title characters, Lauck also played Grandpappy Spears and Cedric Weehunt while Goff played Abner, Squire Skimp, Llewelyn "Mousey" Grey, Dick Huddleston, and most of the other characters.Lum and Abner, like most sitcoms of the era, had a live house band, in
