The Rest Is History
656. The Ku Klux Klan: Birth of a Nation (Part 3)
How did the second incarnation of the clan, born in Georgia in 1915, grow into a seemingly indomitable nation-wide fraternal organisation, numbering millions? Who were its new targets? And, with the Klan’s momentum seemingly unstoppable and an election on the horizon, would their appalling violence be publicly condemned?
Join Tom and Dominic as they chart the second rise of the violent, tyrannical, Ku Klux Klan….

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Building Emotional Calluses
If one bad client, refund, or comment can ruin your day…
You’re not ready for scale yet.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the importance of building emotional calluses—the ability to handle pressure, criticism, and client friction without losing focus or momentum.
As your business grows, so does the volume of problems. More clients means more feedback, more complaints, and more situations that test your patience and emotional control.
The key isn’t avoiding problems…
It’s learning how to handle them without letting them control you.
Paul explains how elite entrepreneurs detach emotion from outcomes, enforce strong boundaries, and operate from logic instead of reacting to every situation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why friction with clients is normal and expected at scale
How taking things personally can hurt your performance and decision-making
Why enforcing boundaries protects your time, energy, and margins
How developing emotional resilience helps you stay consistent under pressure
You can’t control how people act…
But you can control how you respond.
Because when you build emotional strength and stay grounded, nothing in the market can shake your focus—and that’s what separates average entrepreneurs from elite operators.

The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Surviving the Dip With Extreme Consistency
The dip is where most people quit.
And it is also where real entrepreneurs are made.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why extreme consistency is required when the excitement fades, the results slow down, and the grind gets boring.
Let’s be real…
The launch is exciting.
The final win looks glamorous.
But the middle?
That part is hard.
That part is slow.
That part is where most people disappear.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why every major business journey has a brutal middle phase
How boredom and friction cause weak competitors to quit
Why systems matter more than motivation during hard seasons
How surviving the dip helps you inherit market share
The truth is simple:
You will not always feel motivated.
You will not always see instant results.
You will not always get rewarded right away.
But the daily work still has to get done.
The calls.
The emails.
The follow-ups.
The boring inputs.
The repetitions nobody sees.
High-level operators do not quit when the dopamine wears off.
They rely on systems.
They trust the math.
They keep moving when the results are delayed.
Because the people who survive the dip usually win the market.
Put your head down.
Do the work.
Outlast the hard phase.
And keep leveling up.

Pod Save America
LIVE(ish) from the Obama Presidential Center
Jon, Lovett, Tommy, and Dan record from Chicago after the dedication ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center, reacting to Barack and Michelle Obama's speeches, what it felt like to walk through the museum for the first time, and what lessons Democrats in the Trump era can take from Obama. Then, they react to the emerging details of Donald Trump's MOU with Iran, which he signed at the Palace of Versailles, JD Vance's efforts to seem like a normal person during his book tour, and why the algae in the Reflecting Pool is such an apt metaphor for Trump's presidency.

The Ezra Klein Show
I Keep Telling People We’re Living in This Dystopian Novel
A hypervisual, looks-obsessed, wellness-crazed, postliterate society where we’re constantly staring at screens and evaluating one another based on metrics, as the country around us feels like it’s falling apart: That sounds like the world we live in. It’s also the world Gary Shteyngart created in his 2010 novel, “Super Sad True Love Story.”
I’ve been thinking about the book a lot recently, especially with the rise of the “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular and the longevity guru Bryan Johnson, and this feeling that people are upset and agitated but grabbing at the wrong things to fix it. It feels uncannily like the experience of living inside Shteyngart’s novel.
But Shteyngart isn’t just a dystopian prophet, he’s also an expert at living well amid the world’s darkness. His forthcoming book, “The Sensualist: Adventures in Pure Pleasure,” is an essay collection about his efforts to do exactly that. So I wanted to have Shteyngart on the show to understand how he predicted so many of the grimmer aspects of our present, but also how we might delight in the world’s “endless buffet of pleasure” in spite of them.
This episode contains strong language.
