Today an evil assassin robbed America and the world of a visionary founder, a fearless patriot, and the most articulate voice of his generation. In murdering Charlie Kirk, the killer also robbed a wife of her husband, and two children of their father -- and robbed the powerhouse organization Charlie built in Turning Point of its guiding light.
Being a successful entrepreneur takes more than strategy and execution, but draws on the deep, inner forces of intention, resilience, grit, and creativity. How to unleash these qualities is a question Pete Worrell explores in his latest book, INTENTION: Unlocking The Lifeforce Inside High-Performing Entrepreneurs. And it’s a topic that Worrell has had decades studying, having helped countless Entrepreneur Owner-Managers to build and ultimately capture the Enterprise Value they’ve tirelessly built, in his capacity as Managing Director of Bigelow LLC.
Why has trust in the “expert” class cratered? What explains the rise of populism around the world? Why do people view the once-vaunted Fourth Estate as little more than “Fake News”? Turns out author Martin Gurri anticipated these questions in his prophetic 2014 book, The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium, which tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. Joining Atlas Society CEO Jennifer Grossman on July 24, 2025, Gurri discusses the updated version of his book, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump’s improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit.

In an era where entrepreneurship is often romanticized with promises of quick wins and “work smarter, not harder” clichés, Jack Miller’s Simply Success: How to Start, Build, and Grow a Multimillion-Dollar Business the Old-Fashioned Way stands as a refreshing, no-nonsense antidote.
With the Australian federal election (declared for May 3, 2025), now in campaign mode, let’s look at a crucial aspect of Australia, which just about never gets a mention from the major parties.
The majority of Americans may indeed believe that government schooling is “the foundation of this country” -- and if they do, it’s yet another example of how badly the education system has failed them, because government schooling in the United States is a relatively modern phenomenon in the history of this country.
A counter-revolution is sweeping Western civilization—it is philosophical at root, cultural in transmission, and political in impact. It has unfolded over centuries, but only now reveals dramatic and unmistakable consequences. Most of us may not recognize it for what it is--erosion of the modernist worldview and ascendance of a postmodernist one. We speak of endless senseless shooting sprees, politically correct reporting, “woke” indoctrination in schools, loss of trust in reason, and noxious scientific fads. We debate the new varieties of collectivism, the politics of “identity,” racial and other quotas in hiring and admissions, cancel culture, rioting and looting as political protest, and the degradation of the university. These are symptoms. The malaise is philosophical: Our civilization of modernism is being sacked; we live in the twilight of its ideals.
