In episode 272, Carl and Josh crack open The Aranthian Succession - Cinderak Burning, the opening salvo in a multi-episode series exploring how Necromunda's story is being pulled forward and woven more tightly into the modern Warhammer 40,000 timeline. This book doesn't just advance the plot—it reshapes the balance of power in the underhive, and sets the stage for a sector-wide reckoning that longtime lore fans will immediately feel. In the first half of the show, we focus squarely on the narrative: the political upheaval of the Aranthian Succession, the rising tensions within Hive Primus, and what the burning of Cinderak means for the future of Necromunda, and its place in the wider Imperium. This is classic Necromunda storytelling, but told with a sharper eye toward the present 40K era, bridging gaps and modernizing the setting. The back half of the episode shifts gears into the tabletop, breaking down the rules updates, campaign systems, and new tools this book brings to Necromunda players. Whether you're running a long-form campaign or just curious how these changes impact the game going forward, we've got you covered. And while Adan wasn't available for this episode, don't panic! His return is imminent. The Succession has only just begun, and there's a lot more to come.   Time Stamps: 0:00:00 - Show Intro, Elite Choice, Hobby Progress, and Games Played 0:24:30 - Cinderak Burning: Part 1 1:02:15 - Cinderak Burning: Part 2 1:33:40 - Final Discussion and Show Closing Relevant Links: The Independent Characters Patreon Tablewar! - SPONSOR Herrick Games & Hobbies - SPONSOR Goonhammer Media Network Adepticon Games Workshop The Black Library

What if scaling your business didn't require hiring, hustling harder, or stacking endless clients?In this episode, Brett sits down with Pia Silva (No BS Mastery) to break down a simple model for building a highly profitable solo (or two-person) business — built around intensives, clear boundaries, and pricing for outcomes (not hours).Pia shares how she and her husband went from $40K in debt to $500K in revenue by shifting from long, drawn-out projects to a focused, high-value intensive model.

Warhammer Podcast Dan will be appearing on - at least for the foreseeable.DAN'S GOODBYE MESSAGEI won't lie; this is an odd message/statement to write. For the longest while, I honestly thought I'd be doing this till either Phil or I was dead. And though I'm grateful that both Phil and I aren't dead (at least not at the time of writing), concluding my time on the Look Out, Sir! Warhammer Podcast is a tough, but necessary, thing to do. As much as I've genuinely loved being part of something that (I hope) entertained and informed you for the past (nearly) eight years, I need to give myself the space and time to focus on other things.I'm grateful to every one of you who listened to, and by extension supported, this podcast. You honestly helped make it what it became through your enthusiasm and encouragement. Thank you; you've been awesome!Obviously, I can't do a goodbye message/statement without acknowledging the efforts of Phil. At its core, the Look Out, Sir! Warhammer Podcast is a product of people's shared enthusiasm for small toy soldiers, but it wouldn't be anything without the friendship element (and the many hours of accompanying work). Luckily for me, Phil is a great friend and a great doer of things, so it all worked out. Thank you, mate.Thank you also to all my other friends and contributors to Look Out, Sir! over the years: Quizmaster Richie and contestant Tim; former co-host Joe; one-time scorekeeper Adam; DKK emphasises Toke; the RFW Boyz Tom, Tom, Ross, and Phil; Skyserpent Paulie; and others.In conclusion, you've been great, and it's been great. Selfishly, I'm looking forward to listening back to all 230 of these episodes 30 years from now, when I'm an even older, most likely broken man living in a nursing home, dragging around an oxygen tank. It'll be nice to reflect on how I spent a considerable amount of my thirties from that vantage point, assuming I make it that far… damn microplastics.Thank you for the time, the trust, and the many memories.

I used to work 70 hours a week. Grinding to make 30-40K/ month. I used to wonder how I'd ever have a family AND the life that I wanted. In the 3-4 years before having my son… I figured it out. I was able to scale from 40K to 140K/month and I went from working 70 hours a week in that business to 4 hours a week in that business. Delegation and leadership played a part but the BIGGEST difference was learning how to increase LTV of every single client that came into my coaching (so I could work with LESS clients and make MORE money) and that's what I want to talk to you about today.  We'll talk about what LTV actually looks like, what you need before you start running ads, how to not make the same mistake I made that costs me 6 figures, and more!   Time Stamps:   (0:45) 70 Hours A Week When I First Started (2:07) Increasing LTV (5:25) Upcoming January 4th Workshop (5:50) The Mistake That Costed Me Multiple 6 Figures (10:57) The Backend Offer (12:05) LTV and Ads (12:50) Your Offer (13:59) My Maturity Leave ----------

In this episode, Tu and Lei dive into a week dominated by autonomy, AI, and a widening gap between China's EV ecosystem and the rest of the world.  The episode opens with a deep reaction to Rivian's Autonomy AI Day—why it felt like déjà vu for anyone following China's smart-EV space, and how Rivian's announcements mirror what Chinese players like XPeng, NIO, and Li Auto have already been deploying. The hosts debate whether Rivian's approach represents real leadership or simply entry into the top tier.From there, the conversation expands to L4 autonomy momentum: WeRide launching passenger rides with Uber in Dubai, Mercedes partnering with Momenta in Abu Dhabi, and Waymo accelerating multi-city deployments while publishing safety data others still keep opaque.Tu and Lei also tackle the LiDAR vs. vision debate, Volkswagen's unusual dual bet on Rivian (US) and XPeng (China), and why silicon strategy—not just batteries—will decide winners. The discussion closes with affordability: why 300-mile EVs under $40K are existential for Western OEMs, and why China's cost structure makes that challenge unavoidable heading into 2026.Candid, comparative, and forward-looking, this episode explains why autonomy and AI—not just electrification—will define the next phase of the global auto industry.___

Brian breaks down the most misunderstood aspect of Infinite Banking: loan repayments. Why do we pay ourselves back at market rates? What does EVA actually mean? And what happens when you pay yourself more than the insurance company charges?Most people think being their own banker means they can be loose with repayment—skip payments, pay whenever, charge themselves whatever rate feels right. You can, per the contract. But should you? This episode reveals why maintaining market-rate discipline for the full loan duration is what separates wealth builders from people who just talk about IBC. Brian explains where that "extra interest" actually goes, how to decide how much to pay against your loan, and how Parkinson's Law can destroy generational wealth before it ever gets started.Discipline is what builds legacy wealth. Without it, you're just the worst kind of bank: one with no standards, no discipline, and ultimately no capital.00:00 - Opening segment00:40 - Introduction: Why loan repayments trip people up01:30 - Policy loan mechanics: you're not withdrawing, you're borrowing02:10 - Economic Value Added (EVA): the fundamental principle03:05 - Why people go sideways: thinking interest doesn't matter03:30 - Nelson Nash's recommendation: pay market rates for full duration04:40 - What "market rates" actually means05:20 - Maintaining discipline that creates wealth06:30 - The $30K car loan example at 5% over 5 years07:25 - Where does the extra interest go when you pay yourself more?08:30 - The insurance company doesn't care what rate you calculate09:30 - Should you keep paying after the loan is satisfied early?11:00 - Where most people sabotage themselves: the early payoff trap11:30 - Parkinson's Law: expenses rise to meet income12:50 - What to do when your PUAs are maxed out14:00 - Capital deployment vs. consumption: know the difference14:20 - Parkinson's Law destroys generational wealth16:00 - The temptation to "save on interest" (you're paying yourself)17:00 - "But I can make more investing elsewhere" - the speculation trap18:10 - IBC isn't about loopholes, it's about discipline19:10 - Practical implementation: set up auto-pay, treat it like any loan19:40 - The $40K truck example: paying 7% when insurance charges 5%22:30 - Decision tree when your policy is truly maxed26:15 - Income doesn't equal wealth: the $500K pilot who's broke27:00 - The $80K family building dynastic wealth28:40 - Final recap: market rates, full duration, have a plan30:00 - EVA: every loan should create value, every payment should build30:45 - If your practitioner says rates don't matter, run31:20 - The Moody Family Creed and how it applies here31:50 - Closing thoughtsEconomic Value Added (EVA): The fundamental question: did the thing you financed produce more value than the loan cost you? Borrow at 5%, asset returns 8% = positive EVA. Borrow at 5%, thing depreciates = negative EVA.Pay Yourself Market Rates: Nelson Nash recommended paying loans back at market rates or higher— at least what you'd pay elsewhere for similar financing. This maintains the discipline that creates wealth.The Full Duration Principle: Even if you pay a loan off early by using higher interest rates, keep making those payments for the full original term. A 5-year loan means 5 years of payments to your system. The Early Payoff Trap: This is where most people sabotage themselves.

Big tax law changes always bring big rumors. But before you assume Social Security is now tax-free or that you're getting a $40K deduction just for breathing, let's set the record straight on what this new bill didn't actually do.   Helpful Information: PFG Website: https://www.pfgprivatewealth.com/ Contact: 813-286-7776 Email: info@pfgprivatewealth.com   Disclaimer: PFG Private Wealth Management, LLC is an SEC Registered Investment Advisor.

Insurance products and services are offered and sold through individually licensed and appointed insurance agents.   Speaker 1: The big tax law changes always bring rumors, so before you get too hyped up or worried about anything, we thought we'd have a little fun and debunk some of the Big Beautiful Bill myths this week on the podcast. Let's get into it.   Hey everybody, welcome into Retirement Planning - Redefined with John and Nick from PFG Private Wealth. And one more time, we thought we would revisit the Big Beautiful Bill, the OBBBA conversation. I like saying OBBBA, it's just fun. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Guys, just kind of hopefully maybe dispel some of these things, continue to have questions all throughout the year as we're closing out the year we're just trying to knock down some of those worries or some of those fears that people still have. So let's set the record straight a little bit. We'll have some fun with this. You guys can be myth busters on this episode, if you will. John, what's going on my friend? How are you?   John Teixeira: Not too much. Just wondering if Nick gave my phone number to a list because all of a sudden today I'm getting bombarded with, "Do you need a driveway cleaned?" And some random stuff. So I think I'm getting punked.   Speaker 1: Oh man, it's that time of the year. It seems like spam calls have gone just through the roof for the last couple of months, so I don't know.   Nick  McDevitt: My hypothesis on that is I feel like businesses are slowing down and they're kind of going back to their-   Speaker 1: They're getting creative too.   Nick  McDevitt: Yeah, they're going back to their list client lists or different marketing tools. I feel like I've gotten re-added or added to a hundred new email lists in the last three weeks. So it's interesting.   Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a weird thing. And the text thing and the email, it's like they have so much access to you. Constantly getting stuff and of course the phones are always listening, so you just get all this weird stuff. But I'm with you, John, same thing. Would you like to sell your house?   John Teixeira: No. Nick complained about it a couple of weeks ago and I was like, "I'm not getting too much." And all of a sudden I think he's like, "Well, if I got to deal with it, John's got it too." So.   Speaker 1: Either that or your phone was listening and said, "Oh, you're not getting it? We'll get one, then. Here it goes."   John Teixeira: It could be that one too.   Speaker 1: All right, let's jump into a few myths. We'll have some fun here. Myth number one, Nick, Social Security is no longer taxed.   Nick  McDevitt: Kind of for some. So just like most things, there's nuance to it. If your income falls within the threshold of where single or married filing jointly and singles, I think the 75,000 married filing jointly is the 150, then you actually get a $6,000 tax credit to help offset taxes that you may owe on your social security income. But it's not something that line item wise is gone. So for most people, up to 85% of their social security income is includeable in their overall taxable income. So this is a way that that amount can get reduced dependent upon the overall situation.   Speaker 1: So technically no, they did not remove social security tax, but they're for certain brackets in certain age groups for a couple of years, you can definitely reap a benefit. So do that. But yeah, it didn't go away unfortunately. Myth number two, John, the new tax law means tax cuts for everybody.   John Teixeira: Unfortunately not for everybody. Like we talked about in the last episode, the senior citizen tax deduction above the age of 65 is those single will get six, joint will get 12, but that's not even for everyone above 65. Well, because if you income level's too high, you also don't qualify. So not for everybody. And then even the SALT deduction, which Nick went into last episode as well, if your state doesn't have income tax, certain situations work for you, certain situations, and everyone's a case-by-case scenario here. So not for everybody. Some people might not see any tax benefits from this, but some people might see quite a bit.   Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Nick, myth number three, the tax brackets are permanent, so I'm groovy. We're going to stay in this low tax bracket forever.   Nick  McDevitt: Yeah, it'd be nice if things work that way, but as we know when it comes to taxes or really anything involving government or legislation, we can count on there being change at some point in the future. So although if people read through documents and they see, hey, this adjustment in brackets is now permanent, that's just kind of referring back to when they were originally reduced. There was a sunset provision that it had to get renewed at a period of time in the future. And so that's what happened is it was essentially renewed and locked into place, but a new president or a new Congress can adjust that and change that in the future. And based upon debt and all that kind of stuff, were of the opinion that at a certain point in time there will definitely be some changes. And the reality is that most likely they will be higher taxes.   Speaker 1: Yeah, they changed their mind as the wind blows and what they do with it. Right? So, all right, myth number four, John, we didn't really talk about the estate tax too much on that prior episode where we talked about some things, but they actually raised it up a tick, made it a nice even number. So it's a $15 million estate tax exemption, which means estate planning doesn't much matter anymore because most people aren't going to get to that level. What's your thoughts?   John Teixeira: Yeah, so it's nice they made it a nice even number, just like when they changed the RMDH from a 70 and a half to a nice even number there. So we like simplicity here. But yeah, it doesn't mean estate tax planning doesn't matter anymore because certain states do have their own estate tax themselves. We live in Florida here.   Speaker 1: Good point.   John Teixeira: So we don't have to worry about that. But depending on the state you live in, important to understand what those estate taxes are.   Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a federal estate. Yeah, that's a great point. Yep.   John Teixeira: Yep. So that's the federal level there, 15 million. So yeah, just make sure you understand where it is. And just because the exemption went up doesn't mean you don't need estate planning because we've come across some people that definitely needed to structure their assets correctly to make sure that Uncle Sam doesn't get all of it and also it goes to the right places. So.   Speaker 1: Yeah, it's much more than just the tax is a good estate plan, so definitely you want to have the other pieces covered as well. So just because the number's high doesn't mean you don't need an estate plan. And you don't have to be a Rockefeller to need estate plan. A lot of people kind of surprised by the fact of what an estate plan can do for them. Just average everyday folks, it can still be very beneficial. So something to certainly consider.   Nick, we talked a little bit about the car loan interest on that prior one, but so I googled basically just common misconceptions about this, and that's how I'm wording these based on how some of these questions came up. So it's like, "Car loan interest is now fully deductible," and that's how with the internet and everything, that's how things get run amok. People think, "Oh, no, no, I totally saw that. Car loan interest is fully deductible. So great, I'm going to go out and buy a car and be able to write off the interest." But that's not the whole story.   Nick  McDevitt: For sure. There are definitely... So there's a cap as far as the amount that can be deducted, it's about $10,000. From a deductibility standpoint, it is a temporary thing and there are certain thresholds from the perspective of income can't exceed a hundred thousand. And then the rules about the final assembly being the US for the vehicle. So it's not a blanket something that, just like anything else when it comes to rules and laws, especially on taxes, the devil's in the details and you want to make sure you have a full understanding of what it looks like. And on top of that, the reality is that a tax deduction is not usually a reason to spend money if you don't need something. So that's kind of like the famous last words of, "Yeah, but there's a tax deduction." But also if there's a cash flow issue, then it may not make sense. So just like anything else, you want to be smart about the decision.   Speaker 1: Yeah. And I'll take this last one, John for a little bit. Myth number six, it was really around the itemizing. "I can skip itemizing and still get deductions for charity giving." And I think people confuse the itemization and QCDs. And so I think there's a little bit different disinformation there and there is some above-the-line stuff. So just hit me with that one real quick.   John Teixeira: So you can make the deductions with charitable gifting. And it's just recapping last episode, it's capped at 1,000 for single in 2,000 for couples. So you can get the standard deduction and go ahead and get these additional deductions for giving to charity without itemizing.   Speaker 1: And I think for a lot of people, especially if you're making good money, they think, "Hey, I don't need the RMDs," especially for a lot of your client base. "I got to pull this RMD. I don't want to, but I have to. The government's making me. How can I maybe be charitably inclined but also be effective from a tax standpoint?" And that's where the confusion with the QCD comes in. Because you can satisfy that RMD by doing a QCD.   John Teixeira: Yeah, these are... Yeah, thanks for clarifying.   Speaker 1: Yeah.   John Teixeira: Yeah. These are two separate things here. The QCD is its own strategy and definitely take advantage of that if you are not, it's a great way to do it. And just let's kind of recap that strategy, Although it's not part of the bill here, but what you want to do is have your... Once you're above the age of 70, you can take advantage of it and you want the check or distribution that's coming out of the retirement plan to go pre-tax, let's emphasize that pre-tax, go directly from the retirement account to the charitable institution. So it has to be check made payable to that institution. They don't need to get it directly. I have some clients that will get it mailed to their house as long as it's written out to that institution. And the example, they go to church and they feel good about actually handing the check in.   And full disclosure, when you're doing your taxes, I don't want to say all, but most financial institutions aren't basically telling the IRS what you did. When you do your taxes, you actually need to say, this is what you did. So the 1099 will kind of reflect a little bit of that, but you have to actually tell your CPA, "I did this." Because if you do not, you will not get that tax deduction.   Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure. And that's why I wanted to ask you that because it does get confusion around what the tax law changes were with the above line charitable deductions or gift giving and the QCDs, so there was definitely some confusion there. So thanks for clearing that up. And again, that's the whole point, right? Anytime there's legislation, it always brings confusion. So having a good strategy, a good plan, and a good team in place to help you deal with this stuff because dealing with it every day is a lot easier than us who just only see the headlines and whatnot. So if you need some help, reach out to John and Nick, get onto the calendar at PFGPrivateWealth.com, that's PFGPrivateWealth.com and schedule some time for yourself today.

This week on Reality Right After, Welington Gomez is joined by TRR correspondent Sojourner Elleby and viral Twitter favorite @EchoDoesRadio to break down everything popping off in the Bravo universe. The panel weighs in on Jen Shah's release from prison and why her “freedom” still comes with fine print, debates whether Monique Samuels has ever truly taken accountability with Candiace Dillard Bassett, and unpacks the rumors surrounding Bronwyn Newport and Todd Bradley's very public separation.Plus, we dive deep into Married to Medicine Season 12, Episode 3, from Contessa's $40K birthday party drama to Quad's emotional IVF journey and the growing tension in her relationship with King. As always, the takes are honest, the opinions are loud, and the tea is piping hot.

In this episode, David and Ryan sit down with Robinson Bautista, a one-man wholesaler pulling 2–3 deals per month at $40K+ each—all while closing 90% of his deals through text message alone. Robinson breaks down how he finds sellers, why SMS is the only marketing channel he uses, and the simple system that lets him run a tiny operation while still landing massive spreads. If you want a leaner, higher-profit wholesaling model, this is the blueprint. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:34 - Robinson Bautista's Business & His First Deal2:27 - What He Did Next6:17 - Working As An Acquisitions Manager8:57 - Tough Deals That Didn't Work Out10:50 - Transitioning To Work For Himself12:56 - Using DealMachine's Data17:18 - Feedback For DealMachine & Our Comps20:27 - Where To Find Robinson21:07 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Robinson Bautistahttps://www.instagram.com/robinson.bautistaa/ Website: Robinson Bautistahttps://sellrobhouses.com/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

This is the time of year when the studio hopefully gets a little quieter, inboxes slow down, and we start to take stock. For many artists, that pause comes with a mix of reflection and panic. The question that hangs in the air is: what will next year look like? How will I make it work — not just creatively, but financially? If that thought makes your stomach tighten, you're not alone. Most artists were never taught how to plan income. We were taught to plan projects. But the truth is, when you take charge of your numbers, you take charge of your freedom. So, today I want to walk you through a simple way to design your own £40K year — not as a fantasy figure, but as a structure you can actually build towards. It's not about making 40K exactly, if you need to earn more or less; it's about giving yourself a clear base to make informed choices and stop relying on luck or last-minute opportunities. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can design your own £40K year by mapping your current income streams, sketching your "ideal" income wheel, and using the gap between them as your roadmap for the year ahead. Ceri shares exactly how to do this. Clarity beats hustle. When you identify and break your goals into quarterly, monthly, and even daily targets, and choose one 90-day focus with specific actions, you create momentum without burning out. When Ceri's student Jenny stopped trying to do everything and instead doubled down on two key levers—direct collector sales and small group workshops—she didn't double her workload, she doubled her clarity, and that's what took her from £22K to £40K in a year. BEST MOMENTS “We're working on compounding your actions over time, not going all in, then having to lie down for a month because you've exhausted yourself.” “This isn't just an exercise. It's an act of self-leadership, because the truth is, no one is coming to plan your career for you.” “£40k might sound big, but when you break it into four quarters or 10 collectors or 15 commissions, it's suddenly human sized.” For support with creating and delivering your own £40k+ year, get on the waitlist for Ceri Hand´s Artist Mastermind Circle.

What happens when you're overworked, underpaid, and about to settle for even less money just to survive? In this Success Spotlight episode, I sit down with my client Jessica, an ecologist who was dangerously close to applying for jobs paying $20-30K less than her previous salary until she decided to invest in herself instead.Jessica shares her raw journey from accepting "that's just how it is" in conservation work to landing a $40K raise and moving to her dream state. We unpack the exact moment she almost said yes to a job offering significantly less money, why her brain kept telling her to "just take anything," and the specific mindset shifts that changed everything. From hating networking to landing her role through an authentic July conversation that manifested months later, Jessica's story proves what's possible when you stop fighting for your limitations.Hear how she used the cocktail party method, managed her anxiety about the future, and why she says coaching gave her more results than years of therapy. If you're exhausted from the "numbers game" and wondering if you should just settle, this episode will show you there's another way.Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.asknataliefisher.com/episode-261

If you've ever hit major milestones yet still felt trapped, anxious, or disconnected from your own life, this conversation will change the way you think about success and what it actually means to be free. We talk about the moment when achievement stops feeling like fulfillment, and why so many people find themselves “successful” on paper but exhausted in spirit. A lot of high performers believe the next level comes from working harder, grinding longer, or forcing their way forward. But what if the real breakthrough begins the moment you slow down? What if freedom, not hustle, is the real measure of success? In this episode, I sit down with business consultant and Winner's Circle host Jay Adewole to explore the mindset shift that took him from a $250K job to a year of making only $40K, and then to building a million-dollar business. Jay shares the story of leaving the safety of a high-paying role, hitting a wall, and the bold month-long pause that helped him rebuild his entire life and business from a new level of clarity. His transformation didn't start with another strategy. It started with stillness, honesty, and a decision to build a life where freedom leads the way. Together we explore: • Why “busyness” is the biggest obstacle to real success • How stepping back can grow your business faster than pushing forward • The difference between security and freedom • What happens when you stop surviving and start leading • Why redefining success can open doors you didn't know existed • How entrepreneurship becomes a path of self-liberation I also share how Jay's story mirrors my own path in MetaBusiness — where the real work begins the moment you release the pressure to “perform” success and finally choose to live it on your terms. Because when your purpose, energy, and leadership align, success becomes a reflection of your freedom instead of the price you pay for it. This conversation is for every woman and man who is ready to step out of the grind, reclaim their power, and build a life where freedom is the real flex.

Imagine spending $75,000 on Amazon ads and selling… just one $40K tiny home. That's exactly where our guest Caroline found herself after leaving her CFO job and investing $750K into luxury prefab homes. In this episode, she jumps on an onboarding call with Michael from Ad Badger to figure out how to fix a broken PPC strategy, stop wasting money on ridiculous keywords like “IKEA hats,” and actually scale her business. Listen in as they break down long sales cycles, high-ticket ad spend, and the exact steps to go from losing $10K per month to dominating the tiny home market on Amazon.

Ever wonder how a legal buffer can shave nearly a minute off a 40K time trial? We sit down with freshly minted PhD Eli Shannon to unpack the science and the tactics behind sodium bicarbonate, from the lab to the start line. Eli explains why an hour-long ride is anything but steady state and how surges, climbs, and late-race kicks amplify the value of buffering hydrogen ions when it matters most.We dig into the numbers: an average 1.4% improvement for trained male cyclists, translating to about 54 seconds saved. Eli breaks down practical dosing that busy athletes can use—why 0.3 g/kg remains the benchmark, when 0.2 g/kg might suffice, and how to convert that to simple grams for a 70 kg rider. Delivery is everything, so we drill into hydrogel systems designed to reduce GI distress, and we set a clear timing window of 90–120 minutes before the gun. You'll hear how blood bicarbonate rises, dips early with fast pacing, then stays elevated enough to support decisive efforts in the final kilometers.Race-day logistics matter. We walk through smart top-up strategies between heats or double events without overdoing sodium. We talk heat, hydration, and why you should practice your plan before it counts. And we set the record straight on “lactic acid,” highlighting how lactate is fuel while hydrogen ions drive acidosis. We also touch on beta-alanine's intracellular buffering and how it pairs with bicarbonate in sports defined by repeated 30–240-second surges.BIO:  Eli Shannon recently successfully defended his PhD at his viva voce in Exercise Physiology, Metabolism and Nutrition at Edge Hill University, Ormskirk, UK. Eli's research focused on the effects of sodium bicarbonate ingestion on prolonged high-intensity exercise performance and metabolism in both normoxia and acute normobaric hypoxia. Prior to this, Eli completed his bachelor's degree (BSc, Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science and master's degree (MSc) in Exercise Physiology at York St. John University, York, UK. During his time in York, Eli also spent four years playing full-time soccer against professional academies at the i2i International Soccer Academy. Eli's research interests primarily focus on enhancing exercise performance through nutritional and physiological interventions.

Episode 269 of The Independent Characters strides onto the battlefield with a thunderous step as we begin a two-part exploration of the greatest war machines ever to walk the galaxy - the Titans. In this first installment, we turn our gaze to the Imperial God-Engines of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Collegia Titanica, delving deep into their origins, traditions, and the awe-inspiring lore that surrounds them. From the Titan Legions of the Great Crusade to the battles of the 41st Millennium, we trace how these towering avatars of the Omnissiah came to symbolize the Imperium's divine right to rule through fire and steel. We discuss the classes and hierarchy of Imperial Titans - from the swift Warhound Scout Titans to the legendary Warlord and the near-mythic Imperator - and examine the sacred bond between the Princeps, Moderati, and their god-machine. These are not mere machines, but walking cathedrals of destruction, powered by faith and fury in equal measure. On the tabletop, Imperial Titans have taken many forms across Games Workshop's systems, and we look at how these behemoths are represented in Warhammer 40,000, Horus Heresy, Adeptus Titanicus, and Legions Imperialis. Whether you command a Titan Maniple in Adeptus Titanicus or field a Warlord in an Apocalypse-scale 40K battle, these engines of war have remained a constant source of fascination and terror. We also discuss the stunning models that bring them to life; each one a feat of design that captures the impossible scale and grandeur of the Imperium's god-machines. This episode marks the beginning of our most monumental topic yet, and it's only the first half of the story. In Episode 270, we'll turn our auspex toward the Xenos counterparts; the alien god-engines of the Orks, Aeldari, and beyond to see how other races of the galaxy answer the thunderous challenge of the Imperium's Titans!
