We wanna thank God for giving us the grace to give him a little glory in this building tonight, rapper-slash-country hit-generator Jelly Roll said onstage in May at the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards. The speech came during an exultant performance of his collab with Shaboozey, Amen, which features the chorus, Somebody say a prayer for me / Cause the pills ran out and I still can't sleep. The song details a religious devotion earned through a struggle with darker forces. Even a crooked road can still get you home, Jelly Roll concluded.

Yemen's Houthi rebels attack ship Eternity C in Red Sea
Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea, raising fears of renewed conflict in the vital shipping corridor. On Tuesday, authorities reported an ongoing assault on the Liberian-flagged ship Eternity C. A European Union naval force later said three mariners were killed and two injured. On Sunday, the rebels attacked another vessel, Magic Seas, forcing its crew to abandon ship. It later sank. These incidents mark a return to Houthi aggression against shipping after a pause since March. The attacks threaten trade routes and could escalate tensions involving U.S. and Western forces in the region.

Why Senior Leaders Should Stop Having So Many One-on-Ones
A client of mine, Melissa, the CEO of a tech company in the healthcare sector, vented to me about a conversation shed had with her CHRO, Ben. He came to her and said, Im hearing frustrations on the team about how decisions are getting made. Having prided herself on being a transparent, inclusive leader (which she is), she was perplexed. Ben went on to share several stories of team members whod learned about critical decisions that affected them from their peers, not from Melissa. For example, the VP of engineering learned about a deprioritized product feature from the VP of marketing. The VP of quality learned about a new project to accelerate product delivery from the VP of operations. The VP of sales learned about a new budget shift from the CFO.
