Luke 15:1-2 Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." (NIV) 5 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES AND LOVING FATHER CHURCHES 1A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES ARE CONSUMED WITH THEMSELVES Luke 15:29 But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I'VE been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave ME even a young goat so I could celebrate with MY friends. (NIV) 1B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES ARE CONSUMED WITH WHO’S MISSING 2A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES ARE COUNTING RIGHTS AND WRONGS Luke 15:29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. (NIV) Luke 15:30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ (NIV) 2B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES ARE COUNTING SOULS Luke 15:32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ” (NIV) 3A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES FOCUS ON RULES Luke 15:30 But when THIS SON OF YOURS who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ (NIV) 3B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES FOCUS ON RELATONSHIP Luke 15:27 ‘Your BROTHER has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ (NIV) Luke 15:32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother OF YOURS was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ” (NIV) Luke 15:24 For this son OF MINE was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. (NIV) 4A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES RESENT GRACE Luke 15:28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. (NIV) 4B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES REJOICE IN GRACE Luke 15:32 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ” (NIV) Ephesians 2:8–9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—9 not by works, so that no one can boast. (NIV) 5A. OLDER BROTHER CHURCHES STAND OUTSIDE THE PARTY Luke 15:28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. (NIV) 5B. LOVING FATHER CHURCHES PLEAD WITH OLDER BROTHERS TO JOIN THE PARTY Luke 15:28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and PLEADED with him.

Bushy Martin helps you reset your stance for success - by switching your focus from what might change to what never changes. Markets are messy, media is manic, and fads are fickle. Yet amid all the noise, the investors who win are those anchored to the fundamentals that always hold true. Bushy unpacks how to build a property plan that compounds over time, regardless of market moods or media cycles. With over four decades and $4B+ in property finance experience, Bushy explains why people don’t change—and how smart investors can out-structure their emotions, leverage finance as the true market mover, and buy before the crowd turns fundamentals into “hot spots.” Whether you’re an aspiring or seasoned investor, this episode will help you stop reacting to headlines and start compounding the principles that always deliver. Key Takeaways Stop reacting to headlines; start compounding fundamentals. People don’t change—so design your plan to out-structure your emotions.

Synopsis: Jim Tananbaum, Founder & CEO of Foresite Capital, joins Rahul Chaturvedi to dissect the patterns driving biotech innovation, the role of macroeconomic cycles in venture performance, and how disciplined science fuels enduring investment success. Drawing from three decades across entrepreneurship and venture leadership, Jim reflects on his path from co-founding drug discovery startups with Harvard collaborators to building one of the most respected investment firms in life sciences. He unpacks how interest rate environments shape fund vintages, why AI is emerging as the next transformative platform, and how investors can identify enduring opportunities amid volatility. Their discussion spans valuation compression, AI-driven discovery, CNS and Alzheimer's innovation, and the geopolitical forces influencing biotech globally. Jim's perspective offers a masterclass in balancing scientific rigor with strategic foresight — and in positioning capital where breakthrough innovation meets sustainable impact. “Lean into areas where there's likely to be immense change,” Jim advises — a principle as relevant to biotech investing as it is to shaping the future of healthcare itself. Biography: Jim is the founder and CEO of Foresite Capital, a healthcare investment firm founded in 2011 that has approximately $3.5B in assets under management. Jim assembles the people, ideas, and money needed to launch products that save lives and improve healthcare. During the last three decades, Jim has been a thought partner for some of the fastest-growing companies of their generation, including 10x Genomics (Nasdaq: TXG), Amerigroup (Nasdaq: ANTM), and Jazz Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: JAZZ). Jim's entrepreneurial experience began at Harvard Business School when he co-founded GelTex Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:GENZ). With less than $80M in funding, GelTex brought two drugs to market, and the company was acquired in 1999 for $1.4B. Jim was also the founding chief executive of Theravance, Inc. Under his tenure, he raised over $350M. Theravance has since split into two parts, one of which is now part of GSK's respiratory franchise through a joint venture, Innoviva (Nasdaq: INVA), and the other was spun out into Theravance Biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: TBPH). Together, they achieved a market capitalization that exceeded $4B. Jim's investment experience includes co-founding Prospect Ventures and, earlier in his career, being a partner of Sierra Ventures, where he established its healthcare services investment practice. Jim graduated from Yale with a BS and BSEE in Applied Math and Electrical Engineering/Computer Science. He then earned an MD from Harvard, graduating from the Harvard/MIT HST Program. He also earned an MBA from Harvard while playing rugby.

Quand des femmes refusent en bloc le mariage, les enfants, les relations amoureuses et le sexe avec les hommes, que se passe-t-il ? Est-ce un choix radical ou une réponse logique à des violences systémiques ?Dans cet épisode, Marine-Pétroline décrypte le mouvement 4B, né en Corée du Sud en 2015. Tout commence avec une épidémie de MERS-CoV et des accusations misogynes qui poussent des femmes à créer la communauté Megalia. Leur réponse : quatre refus catégoriques qui remettent en question les fondements du patriarcat.Mais le 4B n'est pas sans controverses. Entre exclusion des femmes trans, reproduction de l'individualisme néolibéral et transformation d'une contrainte économique en choix politique, ce mouvement interroge : quand des femmes rejettent tout ce qui est censé les rendre heureuses, c'est peut-être que le problème vient du système, pas d'elles.Les Chroniques du sexisme ordinaire sont un podcast de Marine-Pétroline Soichot qui débusque le sexisme avec pédagogie, humour et zéro culpabilité.Pour aller plus loin :

 In this episode, John Wilson sits down with Jamie from Modernize to unpack how a consumer-obsessed mindset is reshaping home services—from the first inquiry to the final install. They dig into why “experience always wins,” how answer engine optimization (AE/O) is changing search, and what a true platform approach looks like when lead gen, reputation, financing, and programmatic all work together. You'll hear how Modernize is building for the full funnel, why smaller, fast-moving operators can out-execute well-funded incumbents, and how to prioritize innovation without getting whiplash from weekly tech shifts.

SNAP Fraud Exposed: Illegal Aliens Received Billions — Trump Responds, 60 Minutes Clash & Climate Panic Fades | Corsi NationIn this episode of Corsi Nation, Dr. Jerome Corsi leads with the unfolding scandal around widespread SNAP/EBT abuse — including billions in taxpayer funds reportedly provided to illegal aliens in multiple states.USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announces sweeping reforms to stop benefits abuse, ensure aid goes only to qualified recipients, and hold accountable the state agencies that enabled unlawful payouts.These reforms could reshape federal assistance and dramatically curb waste, fraud, and non-citizen enrollments.Reports now show that five states improperly distributed over $1.4B in Medicaid funding to non-citizens — with further investigations underway.

 Shops are buying parts online every day through the TraxCollision platform. We invited Bryan Holzinger from OEConnection to walk through how the new URG and TraxCollision direct integration gets recycled parts in front of 15,000 buyers daily, right at the decision point: online. If you have ever lost a sale due to a slow quoting process, missed emails, or uncertain vehicle fitment, this integration offers a clear path forward with live inventory, parts quoting based on OEM part numbers, and integrated reporting inside your URG portal. We break down the real problems recyclers face: visibility gaps, manual workflows, and margin pressure, and show how to overcome them with a system shops already trust.   The data tells a compelling story: $4B annually in parts orders flow through TraxCollision. In the first three weeks of October alone, the URG direct integration resulted in $1.7M in sales with members maintaining a 100% quote response rate.  In this episode, you will hear how integrated orders, trim and color details, photos, and reliable delivery ETAs help make shops more confident buying recycled parts and make the order fulfilling process for suppliers faster, without adding busy work. Small yards get a big lift from URG's tiering system. When your stock is out, the integration automatically sources from your trusted network using your rules for pricing, markups, and delivery days, so you keep the customer relationship and the revenue while offering a much larger virtual inventory.   We also share practical steps for how to get connected: provide your customer list for bulk matching, adjust your tier settings quarterly, and use the URG dashboard to track quotes, orders, and trends. Plus, look for upcoming webinars and meet us at the URG Conference in Denver to see the integration workflow live and learn from peers already winning on the platform.  Ready to turn demand into dependable revenue?

Paul Shannon sits down with lender-turned-operator Ryan Duff to unpack how lenders really size risk and how LPs can use the same lens. Ryan financed ~$4B+ across cycles before launching Seaport, and he explains why trailing 3–6 month economic occupancy (physical vacancy + concessions + loss-to-lease) tells you more than any glossy OM. Join us to dive into debt yield, DSCR reality vs. pitch decks, the broker-driven “falsified inputs” fiasco and subsequent lender cleanup, and why he prioritizes local, vertically integrated operators with disciplined leverage and cash buffers. Key Takeaways: Underwrite like a lender: focus on economic occupancy (vacancy, concessions, loss-to-lease), not just IRR/EM multiples Expenses are mostly knowable; deals are won/lost on the top-line and honest reporting of rent integrity Debt terms follow the inputs: DSCR, debt yield, and recent trailing performance drive survivability Protect yourself: vet the GP first (local, cycled deals, vertical ops, conservative leverage, transparency) Industry shift: tighter lender verification post-froth (less room for “massaged” rent rolls), more equity skin-in-the-game Bridge debt isn't evil, operator fit + execution speed must match the capital structure Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Depuis quelques semaines, "l'homme performatif" est devenu un véritable mème sur TikTok, où les vidéos à son sujet cumulent des millions de vues. Un matcha à la main, un tote bag sur l'épaule, du vernis noir, une coupe mulet et une moustache taillés au millimètre… Voilà son attirail complet ! En théorie, il adopte des codes perçus comme féminins et se veut incollable sur les sujets féministes. Le problème, c'est qu'il s'agit souvent d'une façade. En fait, il ne cherche pas à être déconstruit, mais à paraître déconstruit.  Ce n'est pas censé être positif d'être un "homme performatif" ? Et comment on fait la différence entre un homme performatif et quelqu'un de sincère ? Alors, comment être un bon allié, sans tomber dans la performance ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Joanne Bourdin.

John sits down with Micah Findley (HomeField) to talk about building a national brand in one of the most overlooked trades: The Septic Pumping Business. From pricing thousand-gallon pumps to dump fees, grease traps, and service agreements, this is the real playbook for scaling a modern Septic Pumping operation.They unpack the entire stack—how a Septic Truck Business goes beyond “just pumping” into repairs, installs, commercial work, and recurring maintenance—plus route density, transfer (frac) tanks, land application vs treatment plants, AR policies, and the software/marketing engines (LSA, PPC, ServiceTitan/Housecall Pro) that drive profitable Septic Pumping growth.

A rocky first email thread turned into a decade of building rooms where creators actually want to linger. I sit down with Mark; producer, engineer, and self‑styled conversational architect to unpack how Podcast Atlanta grew from a reluctant meetup with free pizza into a reliable hub that puts our city on the podcasting map.We dig into craft before hype: how a director's ear shapes a better interview, the edit notes that protect story flow, and the quiet logistics that keep events sustainable month after month. Mark lays out his early growth levers (bribes, proximity, repeatable formats) and the bigger unlock designing for stages. Launching a show, growing an audience, re-branding, or pivoting a business each needs its own doorway. That programming lens, paired with genuine place identity, is how a community endures beyond a single host or season.We talk re-brands without cringe by inviting member votes and shipping shy, then iterating. We trace the industry's surge from $75M to a projected $2.4B in ad spend and what that means for differentiation now that “everyone has a podcast.” We also go deep on openness: why RSS still matters, how YouTube fits the funnel, and how to meet listeners where they watch without ceding control. Along the way, we share personal stakes... retirement plans, post‑COVID social batteries, and the odd Budweiser in an editor lounge because community is built by humans with limits and preferences, not just metrics and logos.To listen to Mark's new Podcast - https://podcastatlanta.com/habitat/Pod-Tour RSVP - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/atlanta-podcasters-meetup-tickets-1736086564649?aff=ebdssbdestsearchPodcast Atlanta Meetup - https://www.facebook.com/groups/PODATL/Join The Newsletter - https://podcastatlanta.com/Talk yo sh!t… Sh!t-Talker!!Support the showFOLLOW US ON;Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkshitwithpTwitter: https://twitter.com/TalkshitwithpFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TalkwhitwIthpTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@TalkshitwithpShop IG: https://www.instagram.com/Talkshitwithp.shopLEAVE US A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-shit-with-p/id1509470001AND SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/@TalkshitwithpSupport The Show (whatever you can)Cashapp: https://cash.app/$TSWP20Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TswpBuymecoffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/talkshitwithpAmazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2M9Q4HNKRO2WA?ref_=wl_shareTo Learn more on my story;https://flow.page/tal...

In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with his good friend and fellow operator, Rich Jordan, to unpack how he scaled from $700K to over $30M in just five years — across three branches and two states.Rich shares the unfiltered lessons from going multi-location, from the chaos of centralizing call centers too early, to re-decentralizing and finally recentralizing with the right infrastructure. He and John dive into the cultural challenges of acquisitions, how to win buy-in with frontline techs, why leadership development is the true bottleneck, and how “force of will” integrations differ from slow-play rollouts.Rich also reveals how his team pushed margins up 10 points in just 60 days, why he cut a top producer to save culture, and what it takes to prepare for a Greenfield launch while still buying and integrating new branches.Together, they unpack:The jump from $700K → $30M in five years through multi-location growthCentralize vs. decentralize — when to share services and when to splitDriving culture post-acquisition with rapid feedback loops and frontline winsLeadership pipelines from the trades and the militaryIntegration style: high-touch, high-speed, “bear hug” takeoversPreparing for Greenfielding — recruiting, training, and marketing from scratch

On today show, we are talking about the impact of the newly announced $100,000 fee associated with the H1B visa to the United States. According to my research, historically the United States had admitted 65,000 H1 B visas per year with an additional 20,000 visa for those holding advanced US degrees.Anytime there is a major policy shift. The marketplace will adapt and find a new way to optimize the allocation of talent. Silicon Valley was cited as one of the Main reasons for the policy change.The tech industry has seen significant layoffs over the past year. Companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook have all released tens of thousands over the past year.The policy change will probably see some of those laid off workers getting rehired and those international workers covered by a visa, now a very expensive visa, being sent home to their country of origin.The largest user of H1B visas is Amazon with over 14,600 visa holders. At $100,000 a year each, this would cost an additional $1.4B in fees to the US government. I personally would be surprise if any company would just roll over and pay for an additional $1.4B in fees. The top users are Amazon, TCS from India with about 5500, Microsoft with a little over 5100, Meta with about 5100.Even Walmart has about 2400. I would bet that Walmart would move those positions to their software design center in Toronto or Ottawa and save $239M dollars with zero loss of productivity. When I ran an engineering organization, we did not use the H1B Visa program to import labour per se. We used the program to bring a few people from some of the remote design centres and immerse them in the culture in our Sunnyvale office so that they could in turn cross pollinate the culture across the organization. It gave that individual a foreign expat assignment and at the same time improved the cohesiveness between the different design centres around the world. They would later return to their remote design centre. I personally believe that the use of the H1B Visa will drop to nearly zero with the imposition of this new policy. That means another 100,000 people in high paying jobs will likely leave the US. These people will probably continue to work for the same company from their country of origin, if they are an individual contributor. If they are in a managerial role, then the relationship gets more complicated. I truly can't think of too many companies that will be willing to pay that $100,000 fee for the visa. This year 2025 was the first year in which US population has shrunk in almost 100 years. Shrinking population means a shrinking economy, especially when you consider that 70% of the GDP is based on consumption. ----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

The girlies share their own celibacy journeys, revisit iconic historical figures who opted out of sex and marriage, and discuss the radical 4B movement gaining attention in South Korea, where women are walking away from men entirely. Digressions include the karmic power of The Melting Pot, graduating from Men Are Trash discourse, and dating after grief and loss.  This episode was produced and researched by Julia Hava and edited by Livi Burdette.  Find Michaela Okland (@michaelaokland) on Twitter and IG!

Today's Headlines: RFK Jr., still clinging to his shaky Health & Human Services title, melted down for three hours in front of the Senate yesterday over the CDC chaos and vaccine access. He accused the CDC director of lying about being fired, insisted he's not restricting vaccines (while restricting them), and somehow wandered into diabetes and Nobel Prizes for Trump. Massachusetts, meanwhile, became the first state to require insurers to cover vaccines regardless of federal policy. Jobs data isn't great: just 54,000 private-sector jobs added in August, layoffs up nearly 40%, and hiring plans at their lowest since 2009. The official BLS report lands today—Trump's first with his handpicked Heritage economist in charge. The Trump family's wealth ballooned by $5 billion this week thanks to their crypto empire—even as their shiny new WLFI token lost half its value. They also launched a bitcoin miner on Nasdaq and unveiled a $6.4B crypto treasury firm. Elsewhere, a federal court cleared the way for the Everglades-based “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center, and Macron announced a 26-country “coalition of the willing” to back Ukraine postwar, with US support still fuzzy.
