Jordan B Peterson. South Africa: What the West Needs to Learn Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with South African filmmaker, author, and activist Dr. Ernst Roets. They discuss the genetic and cultural hyper-diversity of Africa, the early settlement patterns of South Africa, the origin story of the Boers, how forgotten history breeds rhyming conflicts in the present, and the complex needle that must be threaded for shared prosperity. Dr. Ernst Roets is an Afrikaner activist, author and filmmaker from South Africa. He serves as Executive Director of the newly established Pioneer Initiative, which seeks to promote a more sustainable political dispensation for South Africa, based on the principles of decentralization and self-governance. Dr Roets is the leading expert on the topic of farm murders in South Africa. His book, Kill the Boer: Government Complicity in South Africa's Brutal Farm Murders is an international bestseller on Amazon. He is also the producer of several documentary films. He regularly appears in the media - both in South Africa and the international media - about issues relating to South Africa and he regularly speaks at international conferences, including CPAC and NatCon. He is a leading advocate for the protection of free speech and property rights in South Africa, and for farm murders to be regarded as a priority crime. This episode was filmed on March, 14th, 2025.

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, I had the honor of interviewing Nick Huber about his new book and his entrepreneurial philosophy. We discuss why speed matters more than over-preparation early in a career, the danger of chasing status over real opportunity, and how decision-making and sales are critical muscles to build for long-term success. About Nick:Nick Huber is an entrepreneur and real estate investor who resides in Athens, Georgia with his wife and three children. He started his first business, Storage Squad in 2011 and grew it to 25 major college towns before he sold the business in 2021 for $1.7M. While running the service business, Nick built his first self storage facility in Ithaca NY from the ground up for $2.4M. That facility is worth over $10M+ today. After Storage Squad, Nick started a real estate private equity and self storage operations firm called Bolt Storage. With his business partner Dan Hagberg, Bolt Storage now owns 2M square feet of self storage across 68 locations in 11 states. There is no mark to market in real-estate but the portfolio is worth well over $100M dollars today. More recently, Nick acquired a controlling stake with a group of investors in Somewhere.com for $52 million dollars in May of 2024. Somewhere has helped over 3500 businesses hire more than 6000 remote workers for 80% less than US equivalents. The business has 200 employees located worldwide across 9 countries including the US, Latin America, South Africa, the Philippines and more. In total, Nick's businesses do more than $30 million in annual revenue and employ over 325 people. Alongside his portfolio of businesses, Nick is a content creator and has more than 780,000 followers across channels. Nick's content has received more than 2 billion views online across platforms in the last few years.

Learn how to land billion dollar clients using revenue based sales strategies In this episode, Stephen Roche shares his proven approach for landing enterprise clients in the competitive financial industry. He reveals why tying products to new revenue generation, rather than just cost savings is the secret to winning major clients like BlackRock and JP Morgan. Stephen explains how building trust through thought leadership, leveraging strategic PR, and using authentic LinkedIn engagement creates a powerful sales ecosystem that makes you the safer choice for potential clients. Stephen Roche is the Co-Founder and President of Saphyre, a patented AI-powered platform that streamlines pre- and post-trade processes for financial institutions. Founded in 2017 with his identical twin brother Gabino, Saphyre has revolutionized the industry by enabling T+1 and even T-Zero trade settlements, helping financial institutions meet new SEC mandates while eliminating the traditional web of manual tasks. The company raised $18.7M in Series A funding in 2022 and boasts an impressive client roster including BlackRock, JP Morgan, and Citigroup. Key Takeaways: Tie your product to new revenue generation rather than just cost savings to make it irresistible to potential clients. Create a "safer option" by building market validation through visible client partnerships and thought leadership. Be authentic on LinkedIn by balancing industry insights with personal content instead of just corporate messaging. Use event sponsorships strategically to gain speaking opportunities that establish thought leadership in your industry. Leverage PR by negotiating press releases with clients and repurposing that content across multiple channels. Document your journey authentically rather than relying on corporate-approved marketing materials that feel impersonal. Use "social proof" from major clients to create FOMO among their competitors who aren't using your solution yet. Consider offering warrant structures tied to performance metrics for strategic partnerships instead of giving away equity upfront. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Send us a text"Dancing for the Devil—Episode 1 Part 1 - Die to Yourself" recounts the harrowing journey of the Wilking sisters, Melanie and Miranda, through their involvement with Shekinah Church, founded by Robert Shinn, and its associated group, 7M. The episode begins with the Wilking family's desperate attempt to reconnect with Miranda, who has been isolated from them since joining the church. Despite their efforts, including visits to the church gate and numerous calls, Miranda remains out of reach, even missing her grandfather's funeral under dubious claims of having COVID-19. This separation is indicative of the church's control over its members, compelling them to cut ties with their families.Miranda's entanglement with the church began after moving to Los Angeles post-high school and forming relationships with key members of the dance community, including James (B-Dash), who introduced her to Robert Shinn's circle. The narrative reveals how Melanie also got involved, initially invited to Shinn's house where she experienced unsettling religious practices and coercive tactics. Financial exploitation is highlighted, with members being subjected to steep fees and controlled bank accounts, leaving Miranda financially drained and dependent on the church.As the story unfolds, Melanie distances herself from the church after a series of controlling demands, while Miranda remains entrenched, further alienating her family. The church's manipulation becomes evident through practices such as signing non-disclosure agreements during services and enforcing strict separation of new members from long-term devotees. Former member Melanie Lee's experiences corroborate these accounts, revealing systemic control and abuse within the church over decades.The episode sheds light on the psychological and financial manipulation within Shekinah Church. Members are forced to surrender large portions of their income and subjected to public shaming for non-compliance. The church's control extends to personal relationships, with members reporting all thoughts and actions to a mentor, creating a pervasive atmosphere of surveillance and obedience. Financial records reveal that church leaders, particularly Shinn's wife Hannah, exploit members for labor and monetary gain, maintaining strict control over their finances.A turning point occurs when Melanie Lee recalls the sexual abuse scandal involving Robert Shinn, which initially led to a loss of church workers but eventually saw Shinn manipulating and retaining control over remaining members like Melanie and her sister Priscylla. This abuse and manipulation culminate in Priscylla's eventual escape, although she continues to struggle with the psychological aftermath. The episode underscores the enduring impact of Shinn's control, with former members grappling with the trauma and attempting to reclaim their lives.The episode concludes with a glimpse into the ongoing legal battle against Robert Shinn, initiated by Melanie and Priscylla. Their decision to sue is driven by a desire for justice and to expose the church's exploitation. The involvement of the dancers in the lawsuit highlights the shared experiences of manipulation and control, emphasizing the collective struggle against Shinn's oppressive regime. Despite the legal actions, key members like Miranda, James, and Nick remain loyal to 7M, illustrating the deep-rooted influence of the church on its followers.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Send us a textToday's Ones Ready Daily Drop is basically a masterclass in budget cuts, broken jets, bureaucratic gridlock, and spicy Space Force drama—with a splash of congressional nonsense and some suspicious real estate investments for good measure. Jared breaks it all down like a tactical briefing crossed with a roast.We've got $15 billion drone programs under review, a B-2 flying over Iran “just to say hi,” and service members getting offered their jobs back after being kicked out over a vaccine—because yeah, that's how leadership works now. Oh, and Space Force might finally get to move to Huntsville, so go buy some land before another general does.From Air Force “Frankenjets” stitched together in a garage like military Frankenstein, to “mil-spec” gear that barely meets minimum standards, to ISR flights over the U.S.-Mexico border triggering cartel drone wars—this drop is full of “wait, what?” energy.

With all that is going in Teresa's life with her new normal of being married to someone who has a $2.7M tax debt and $1.25M personal loan, we find today the perfect day to offer some divorce advice to Ms. Giudice and share a financial, romantic and career plan for the future. Albeit unsolicited, we suggest she listen.  In other RHONJ news, we address all the stories that have come out over the past few weeks regarding Jennifer Aydin - she let Tre borrow $500K - her and Bill have declared bankruptcy - breaking down the true origins of the stories, separating truth from fiction and reveal the details behind Ms. Aydin's recent dinner with the TreHugger's Queen.  Finally, Erika Jayne seems to be up to her old tricks, no pun intended, as she faces new legal troubles and, as the RHOBH season closes out, prepares for what may be a rough Season 15 when production begins later this year.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.
