We all have the instinct to distract ourselves from present-moment discomfort, whether we consider ourselves an addict or not. That insight is a powerful starting point for today's conversation on the role yoga can play in addiction recovery.  Host Rachel is joined by returning guest Caroline Wybar—yoga teacher and trainer, and 1000hr Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist. Drawing from both lived experience and extensive research, Caroline shares a compassionate and evidence-informed perspective on addiction and recovery. She explores the many factors that contribute to addiction and shares how yoga can support recovery by helping practitioners develop self-awareness, resilience, distress tolerance, and a healthier relationship with the present moment.

When Juan Pablo Culasso spends time outside, he often encounters people thinking he doesn't belong out there as a blind person – despite the fact that he's a renowned nature recordist. He helped design nature trails in Colombia with features that make them more accessible for people who are visually impaired, including guide ropes with textures that signal points of interest and QR codes that provide info. But Juan Pablo says these are not simply trails solely for blind people to enjoy — “we need to share the same places in society,” he says. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

This episode is a wild ride around the world with one of the travel industry's most respected and well-travelled voices. Glenn Johnston has lived across continents, shaped how people explore the world and collected a lifetime of extraordinary travel experiences along the way.   Episode Highlights & Destination Gems: 1. Australia's Northern Territory - A Journey Back in Time Most people think of Australia and picture its cities. Glen takes us somewhere far more profound. • Home to the world's longest continuing culture, stretching back 40,000 years • Ancient rock art sitting open in nature, unchanged and accessible to anyone willing to make the journey • Landscapes that look exactly as they would have millennia ago, with no manmade developments as far as the eye can see • Katherine Gorge, Kakadu National Park and extraordinary wildlife including saltwater crocodiles in their natural habitat 2. California - The One Destination Everyone Must Visit Glen's pick for the single place every traveller must experience at least once in their lifetime. • Something for every kind of traveller, whether you seek luxury, adventure, food or nature • San Francisco's culinary scene and the extraordinary experience of riding through the city in a driverless car • Napa Valley for world class wineries and Michelin starred dining • The iconic Pacific Coast Highway drive from Half Moon Bay down through Monterey, Big Sur and Santa Barbara • Post Ranch Inn at Big Sur for breathtaking ocean views and a stay you will never forget - https://www.instagram.com/postranchinn/ • Newport Beach and Montecito for relaxed luxury   3. AlUla, Saudi Arabia - Where History Lives and Breathes • Breathtaking rock formations surrounding a lush oasis of date farms and greenery • Hegra, one of the most remarkable ancient sites in the world • A destination that is new and exciting even for many Saudis themselves • Accessible directly from Dubai and outstanding value, particularly during Ramadan and the summer months 4. The Faroe Islands - Where the World Feels Untouched Glen's personal bucket list destination and perhaps the most surprising gem of the entire episode. • Located between Scotland and Iceland, accessible via Copenhagen • Landscapes and nature that are genuinely out of this world • The most charming and characterful townships you will ever encounter • Weather that changes in moments, adding to the raw and dramatic atmosphere • Restaurant Raest, a wonderful culinary surprise in the heart of the tiny capital - https://www.instagram.com/raestrestaurant/ • A place that offers something rare in today's connected world, true isolation and the chance to be completely present 5. Malta - The Destination That Can Surprise You • A place layered with history • Maltese language rooted in Arabic • Centuries of influence from the Arabs, the French, the British and the Knights of Malta all layered one on top of the other • History built on layer upon layer that makes every corner of Malta feel significant 6. Trnava Region, Slovakia - Europe's Best Kept Wellness Secret Glen's most transformational wellness experience and a destination almost no one is talking about. • A town with roots going back to Roman times, drawn there by its natural healing waters • Piešťany, a small town within the region entirely dedicated to wellness • Natural mud treatments with a remarkable purification process that takes months and returns the mud to the river when its work is done • Outstanding value and a genuinely immersive wellness experience that goes far beyond a spa day 7. Kyrgyzstan - Nomadic, Raw and Completely Unforgettable One of the most underrated destinations on earth and one that can be surprising at every turn. • Soviet mosaics and brutalist architecture in the capital Bishkek for architecture lovers • A culinary scene that exceeded all expectations • Staying in a yurt in the mountains during summer with no electricity, no running water and no distractions • Horse and jeep trails through landscapes that have never seen a single manmade structure • A way of travelling that is inherently sustainable and deeply connected to the natural world 8. Japan - The Number One Foodie Destination in the World • Tokyo has more Michelin starred restaurants than any other city on earth • Japanese cuisine goes far beyond sushi and sashimi and rewards every curious eater • Exceptional value right now thanks to the yen and decades of stagflation keeping prices low • The Izu Peninsula seafood shacks south of Tokyo where you can taste fresh shellfish cooked over open fires for free • Quality that holds whether you are in a Michelin starred restaurant or a tiny ramen shop at a train station 9. Slovenia - Hidden Gem A small country with an enormous amount to offer and one that not nearly enough people have discovered. Ljubljana, a beautiful university city with a wonderful energy and a thriving café and restaurant scene Mountain landscapes sitting alongside a city that is small enough to cover completely in just a few days Slovenian wine that deserves far more recognition than it currently receives The extraordinary Postojna Cave where a little train takes you deep into one of the most spectacular natural wonders in Europe 10.

In September 2025, Oregon became the first state in the nation to be verified for its accessibility for travelers with disabilities by the travel website Wheel the World. The company worked with Travel Oregon to assess hundreds of hotels, restaurants, tourism providers and state parks in seven regions across the state for their accessibility. That includes features like step-free entrances at museums or specialized wheelchairs available to venture onto a beach on the Oregon Coast.    But the state’s efforts to promote its accessibility doesn’t mean that barriers don’t still exist for travelers with physical or neurocognitive disabilities. Small hotel owners and tourism operators may also lack awareness about best practices to engage with these travelers or struggle with how to become more accessible online and in person.    To address these gaps, researchers at Southern Oregon University received a grant from Travel Oregon to develop and roll out training workshops at 12 locations across the state for travel industry professionals and other stakeholders. The training includes guidance on best practices and role-playing exercises where participants can experience, for example, what it’s like to navigate a carpeted hotel lobby in a wheelchair or to receive information during an emergency as a person who is hard of hearing.    Pavlina McGrady, an associate professor in the school of business at Southern Oregon University and Rebecca Williams, an assistant professor in the school of business at SOU, joined us on Oct. 2, 2025, to discuss the project. We also heard from Ulysses McCready, a junior at SOU who is blind and assisted with this effort.  

Tyler Foreman, the Vice President of AI at Rocket Lawyer, joins the show to discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence and the legal industry. Foreman shares his untraditional legal tech career path, spanning engineering at Intel, drone data analytics, and ultimately making the move to legal via contract lifecycle management (CLM) at DocuSign, before diving into his current work at Rocket Lawyer helping to provide legal resources for small-to-medium businesses and individuals. The conversation focuses on how modern generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) act as a legal operating system to simplify contract reviews, document drafting, and client intake, while maintaining essential connections to human attorneys.

What if colour work could be approached less like guesswork and more like investigation? In this episode I'm joined by Samantha Blues, founder of Colour Science Investigation, who explains her crime-scene-style framework for helping stylists move from guessing to predicting in colour. Samantha discusses why many stylists are taught to focus on the finished look rather than what is happening inside the hair, and why hair reading, residue, underlying pigment and consultation questions are essential. She also covers toners, colour correction and the limits of relying on formulas alone, saying the goal is to build confidence, structure and better client communication.

At just 16, Ellyse Perry was the youngest person to ever debut for the Australian International Cricket team. 13 days later, Ellyse debuted for the Matildas.

Dr. Stroope is an Assistant Professor in the School of Kinesiology at Louisiana State University. Stroope's research includes three overlapping areas: co-benefits of active transportation, public health approaches to increasing rural physical activity, and access to nature, with an overarching interest in how physical activity contributes to community thriving. Stroope is on the leadership team for the Physical Activity Policy, Research, and Evaluation Network (PAPREN) Rural Hub and serves on the Dissemination and Translation Board for the U Mass Prevention Research Center. Before joining the LSU School of Kinesiology, she spent ten years working for Cooperative Extension, with most of those years serving as the LSU AgCenter's physical activity specialist. In that role, she partnered with Extension agents, small towns, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, rural librarians, schools and other community partners to increase access to physical activity, with a particular focus on helping communities pursue funding for active transportation infrastructure. Description In this episode of the Elevate Yourself podcast, Rob sits down with Dr. Jessica Stroope to discuss how communities can be designed to support healthier, more active lives. Drawing from her experiences in public health, Cooperative Extension, and community-based research, Jessica explores the powerful role that active transportation, access to nature, and the built environment play in shaping physical activity behaviors. She shares lessons learned from working with rural communities, transportation departments, schools, libraries, and local leaders to create environments where movement is a natural part of everyday life. The conversation highlights how seemingly small environmental changes can have a meaningful impact on health outcomes, why partnerships across sectors are essential, and how community design influences far more than physical activity alone. Whether you're interested in public health, community development, or simply creating places where people can thrive, this episode offers practical insights into building more accessible and active communities.

From cigarette butts to juice pouches, TerraCycle tackles items that are difficult or impossible to recycle through traditional systems. The company partners with leading brands, retailers, and individuals to make recycling these materials not only possible but impactful for the planet.“There are so many things that are not recyclable, not because they can't be, but because it costs more to collect and process them than the results are worth,” explained Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle, during an interview. “This is where TerraCycle comes in. We work with stakeholders to fund the cost of recycling these hard-to-recycle waste streams.”Tom revealed that the company has been operating successfully for 25 years and serves over 20 countries worldwide. This success is driven by a commitment not only to environmental impact but also to business fundamentals. TerraCycle has been profitable for over a decade, has issued regular dividends since 2018, and recently raised $5 million in under 60 days through a regulated investment crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign. The capital is being deployed to fuel growth, primarily through acquisitions that strengthen operational capabilities.“The Reg CF allowed us to raise from everyday people—non-accredited investors—who believe in our mission and the future of TerraCycle,” Tom said. The company is currently expanding further with a Reg A offering, giving more individuals the opportunity to invest and share in TerraCycle's vision of a trash-free world.Tom's perspective on waste is inspiring. He explained that garbage is a modern problem, created about 75 years ago. Yet, within this challenge lies opportunity. Instead of viewing waste as merely an environmental issue, TerraCycle repositions garbage as a valuable resource—a mindset integral to the company's mission.This is more than profit-driven entrepreneurship; TerraCycle exemplifies the power of purpose to drive innovation and change. Investing in the planet's future through waste recycling isn't just good business—it's essential.By making recycling accessible and actionable, TerraCycle empowers companies and individuals alike to play a role in reducing waste and building a sustainable future.tl;dr:TerraCycle tackles hard-to-recycle waste, partnering with brands and individuals to eliminate garbage.Tom Szaky revealed how the company's services span 20 countries and 25 years of innovation.TerraCycle raised $5 million via a Reg CF campaign to accelerate growth and acquisitions.The current Reg A offering allows anyone, not just accredited investors, to invest in TerraCycle.Tom shared his superpower: inspiring belief in ideas through purpose and passion-driven leadership.How to Develop Inspiring Belief in Big Ideas As a SuperpowerTom describes his ability to inspire belief in his ideas as his superpower. Reflecting on his lifelong talent for gaining support, Tom explained, “I've been able to get people to believe in my ideas and help make them a reality.” At TerraCycle, this ability manifests in attracting customers, investors, and volunteers who all rally to support the company's mission. He added, “You make what you're working on so interesting, so exciting, and you have to really believe in that yourself…people are magnetized to it.”Tom's superpower first revealed itself in second grade through an origami project. He began folding cranes, inspired to create a beautiful curtain for his room. As his enthusiasm grew, it captured the attention of his classmates; first, his table joined in, then the entire class. Without asking for help, Tom's passion made others eager to participate. This dynamic has followed him to TerraCycle, where hundreds of thousands of volunteers now help run recycling programs around the world.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Choose an idea you deeply believe in—passion is contagious and magnetizes others.Focus on how your idea contributes beauty, value, or purpose to the world.Avoid asking for help directly; instead, lead by example and draw people in with your actions.Develop purposeful ideas that inspire others to contribute willingly.By following Tom's example and advice, you can make inspiring belief in big ideas a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Will Jarvis, Founder and CEO of Gertrude, a contemporary art platform and mobile app that directly connects emerging and independent artists with art buyers, and co-founder of the London gallery The Sunday Painter. Will discusses how Gertrude works, why he believes the current art world landscape has created opportunities for new models, and how the platform aims to support artists who may not have traditional gallery representation. He also shares his perspective on the challenges facing younger galleries, smaller galleries, and rising artists, as well as the barriers that can prevent new collectors from entering the art market. Together, Adam and Will explore what it would take for the art world to become more open and accessible, and how platforms like Gertrude can provide collectors with access, context, and confidence while helping artists build visibility and sustainable careers.

On today's show we look at an article published at Slashgear.comthe scientifically proves that expensive cables are a waste of money. We also look at five Google TV features that you are probably not using. And of course we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Yamaha Introduces Two New AV Receivers Apple TV to broadcast first major professional live sporting event shot entirely on iPhone 17 Pro Price of lifetime Plex Pass jumping by $500 Other: Costco's Cheap Acoustic Panels Are Amazing Netflix is sharing your watch history — take 60 seconds to stop it Scientific Proof That Expensive Cables Are a Waste of Money Long time listener Scott sent us an email pointing us to an article at Slashgear.com titled WE NOW HAVE SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT EXPENSIVE AUDIO CABLES ARE A WASTE OF MONEY. Today we share three key takeaways from that article. The entire article is linked and you can check it out for the full details. Here are the three key takeaways from the article: Expensive audio cables perform no better than cheap ones In rigorous scientific testing by Audio Science Review, $7 Amazon Basics RCA cables performed identically to $4,000+ Kimber Kable premium cables across key metrics like frequency response, total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N), and signal-to-noise ratio. The expensive cables even showed slightly more interference in some tests. Claims about premium cables are mostly marketing hype. High-end cables often boast exotic materials (solid silver, special dielectrics, etc.), but these make no measurable or audible difference in real-world performance for human hearing. The article highlights that this is a common area where audiophiles get overcharged. Spend your money on what actually matters. Instead of expensive cables, invest in better speakers, amplifiers, DACs, source quality, or room acoustic treatment. These components make a far bigger difference in sound quality than cables ever will. Bottom line: The article concludes that for most people (even serious audiophiles), cheap, well-made cables are perfectly fine. 5 Google TV features you're probably not using but definitely should Today's show is completely fueled by our listeners. Mark fromFloriday sent us a link to Tom's Guide that lists 5 Google TV features you're probably not using but definitely should. We will go through those bow but the full details can be found at the linked article.  Here's a summary of the five Google TV features: Apps-Only Mode: Turn your cluttered home screen into a simple app launcher by enabling Apps Only mode. This removes most recommendations and shows just your installed apps (with one banner ad remaining). Personalize Recommendations: Customize your home screen suggestions by selecting which streaming services you want included. This reduces unwanted content while keeping helpful recommendations from your preferred apps. Ambient Mode: Transform your TV into a digital picture frame or art gallery. You can display beautiful artwork or your own personal photos when the TV is not in use. Find My Remote: Quickly locate a lost Google TV remote by making it play a loud sound. Accessible through Settings > Remotes & Accessories > Find my remote. Basic Mode: Strip Google TV down to a "dumb TV" experience. It disables apps and ads, showing only live TV and connected external devices (requires a factory reset to activate).

Priscille Béguin, experte en risques climatiques et ceci est un moment, c'est à dire un extrait d'un épisode plus long dont je vous mets le lien un peu plus bas.Dans ce "moment", je parle avec Priscille de quelque chose qui me préoccupe vraiment depuis que j'ai choisi de m'installer au Portugal : est-ce qu'on prend encore les bonnes décisions quand on choisit où vivre? Parce qu'on raisonne encore avec les données météo d'aujourd'hui, voire d'hier, alors que le sol se dérobe sous nos pieds. Nice à 40 degrés vingt jours par an dans dix ans. Paris avec les températures de Montréal si le Gulf Stream s'arrête. Ce ne sont pas des scénarios de science-fiction, ce sont des modèles sérieux. Et pourtant, les gens continuent d'acheter en bord de Méditerranée comme si rien n'allait changer.J'ai questionné Priscille sur les mécanismes concrets qui expliquent ces bouleversements, sur ce qu'on sait vraiment du Gulf Stream et ce qu'on ne sait pas encore, et sur les outils pratiques pour prendre des décisions immobilières un peu moins aveugles. Elle m'a parlé du portail GeoRisques, un site gouvernemental que presque personne ne consulte avant d'acheter, et de ce que la température extérieure fait concrètement à la qualité de vie et de sommeil.C'est un moment qui donne envie de relire le contrat d'achat de sa maison.Citations marquantes"Dans 10 ans, à Nice, il fera 40 degrés 20 jours par an. Donc on va vivre enfermé deux, trois mois dans l'année.""Paris est à la même latitude que Montréal. Donc s'il n'y a pas cet effet de tirage de l'eau chaude des Caraïbes, on se retrouve avec exactement la même température qu'à Montréal.""On sait pas déterminer réellement la limite qui fait que ça bascule et que ça s'arrête.""C'est pas juste dans 25 ans. Même ne serait-ce que demain, dans 5 ans, dans 10 ans, ce sera déjà pas comme aujourd'hui.""S'il fait 42 degrés 10 jours par an, ces 10 jours par an seront extrêmement pénibles, surtout si la nuit il fait 35."Idées principales1. Le choix de vie est un choix climatique (00:20 à 01:47) On choisit où l'on vit pour le travail, la famille, les amis, la météo. Mais ces critères sont désormais instables : ce qui rendait Nice agréable en 2024 peut en faire un endroit difficile à vivre en 2035. L'idée que le cadre de vie est fixe est une illusion. Anticiper, même à 5 ou 10 ans, devient une nécessité.2. Le Gulf Stream : une bascule possible, pas encore datée (02:24 à 06:46) Le Gulf Stream, ce courant qui pompe l'eau chaude des Caraïbes vers l'Europe de l'Ouest, ralentit sous l'effet de la fonte des glaces. Une interruption brutale est possible, car ça s'est déjà produit dans l'histoire de la Terre. Résultat potentiel pour la France : les températures de Montréal. On ne sait ni si ça arrivera ni quand, mais les conditions se solidifient.3. Chaleur globale + refroidissement local : les deux à la fois (06:20 à 07:44) Le paradoxe : la Terre se réchauffe, mais certaines régions d'Europe pourraient se refroidir drastiquement si le Gulf Stream s'arrête. Ce n'est pas contradictoire, c'est la nature d'un climat multifactoriel. On peut avoir des hivers canadiens et des étés à 40 degrés dans la même décennie.4. L'immobilier est aveugle aux risques climatiques (07:49 à 10:01) Les gens qui "descendent dans le sud" font un pari risqué. Le portail GeoRisques (georisques.gouv.fr) permet de voir les risques à chaque adresse, mais ses données sont partiellement anciennes et ne projettent pas encore le futur climatique. C'est une première lecture, conservatrice, mais déjà révélatrice.5. La température comme facteur de santé, pas juste de confort (10:42 à 11:28) La chaleur n'est pas qu'une question d'agrément. Elle affecte la qualité du sommeil, la santé, et l'habitabilité des grandes villes du sud qui souffrent d'îlots de chaleur. C'est un critère de qualité de vie primordial, sous-estimé dans les décisions résidentielles.Sujets abordésEn quoi le changement climatique remet-il en question les endroits où on a choisi de vivre?Le Gulf Stream : c'est une théorie ou une réalité scientifique établie?Comment fonctionne concrètement ce courant marin et pourquoi est-il menacé?Peut-on vraiment savoir quand ou si le Gulf Stream va s'arrêter?Si le Gulf Stream s'arrête, qu'est-ce que ça change concrètement pour la France?Est-ce qu'on pourrait avoir à la fois des étés très chauds et des hivers très froids en France?En tant qu'investisseur immobilier, quels critères climatiques faut-il regarder aujourd'hui?C'est quoi le portail GeoRisques et comment on l'utilise concrètement?Les données du portail GeoRisques reflètent-elles le futur climatique ou seulement le passé?La chaleur en ville, c'est vraiment un problème de santé, pas juste de confort?Références citéesPortails / outilsGeoRisques (georisques.gouv.fr) : portail gouvernemental listant tous les risques environnementaux par adresse (inondation, tremblement de terre, risques chimiques, sites Seveso...). Cité à 08:42. Limites : données partiellement anciennes, pas encore intégration des projections climatiques futures.Phénomènes scientifiques évoquésLe Gulf Stream (courant AMOC) : système de circulation thermohaline reliant les Caraïbes à l'Europe du Nord-Ouest. Expliqué à 02:24. Aucun auteur ni étude précise cités, mais Priscille parle de "plusieurs modèles" et de "données".Îlots de chaleur urbains : phénomène cité à 11:28, pas de source spécifique mentionnée.Timestamps clés 00:00 Introduction Présentation de l'extrait comme "un moment" marquant d'un épisode plus long.00:20 Nice dans 10 ans : 40 degrés 20 jours par an Priscille ouvre sur un exemple concret : les critères qui guident nos choix résidentiels sont basés sur un climat qui n'existera plus. Nice, symbole du doux, deviendra difficile à habiter. Les crues violentes vont se multiplier. Acheter là-bas, est-ce encore un bon plan?00:54 On choisit où vivre avec les mauvaises données Les humains choisissent leur lieu de vie en fonction de leur entourage, de leur travail, et de la météo. Mais la météo change. Gregory vit au Portugal pour la météo. Ce qui était une bonne raison hier peut être invalidé demain. Le changement climatique rend ces choix précaires, même à 5 ou 10 ans.01:37 Des risques qui peuvent tuer des gens Priscille nomme clairement ce dont on parle : pas juste de l'inconfort, mais des risques mortels. La capacité à faire des choix éclairés est une question de survie, pas de confort.02:24 Le Gulf Stream expliqué simplement Description complète du mécanisme : eau froide arctique, réchauffement dans les Caraïbes, remontée vers l'Europe. C'est ce courant qui donne à l'Europe de l'Ouest son climat clément. Sans lui, Paris = Montréal.03:28 La fonte des glaces enraye la pompe La fonte déverse des quantités massives d'eau douce et froide qui perturbent la salinité nécessaire au fonctionnement du Gulf Stream. Ce mécanisme s'est déjà arrêté dans l'histoire de la Terre. Il peut le refaire, et vite.04:26 Paris à la même latitude que Montréal Le chiffre qui fait réfléchir : sans le Gulf Stream, la France connaîtrait les températures de Montréal. Priscille l'énonce avec une pointe d'humour : "J'ai très hâte de voir ça dans les rues, ça va être très drôle."05:03 On ne sait pas quand, mais les conditions se solidifient Honnêteté scientifique de Priscille : les données sont contradictoires, on ne peut pas dater la bascule. Mais plus on avance, plus les conditions pour un arrêt total semblent réunies.07:49 Marseille et l'investissement immobilier Gregory pose la question pratique : tous ces gens qui "descendent dans le sud", est-ce vraiment un bon investissement? Méditerranée en surchauffe, risques d'inondation, accès à l'eau. On revient sur les critères concrets.08:42 GeoRisques : le portail que tout acheteur devrait consulter Priscille présente georisques.gouv.fr comme premier réflexe avant tout achat immobilier. Adresse par adresse, tous les risques disponibles. Accessible à tous, pas réservé aux experts. Limite : données conservatrices, pas projetées sur le futur climatique.10:42 La température, facteur numéro un de qualité de vie Au-delà de l'immobilier : c'est quoi vivre dans un endroit trop chaud? La chaleur impacte le sommeil, la santé, l'habitabilité. Les grandes villes du sud, avec leurs îlots de chaleur, cumulent les désavantages.

Samuel Hartlib doesn’t exactly spring to mind when thinking about influential figures of the 17th century.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviews Bruce Marks. CEO of NACA – America's Best Mortgage Program. The incredible NACA mortgage allows NACA Members to purchase their homes with the following: Below is a structured summary of the Bruce Marks interview with Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass, based entirely on the interview transcript you provided. All points and quotes are drawn from that source. Interview Summary Bruce Marks, founder and CEO of NACA (Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America), joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his four-decade mission to make affordable homeownership accessible to working families, particularly those historically excluded from the housing market. Marks explains how NACA fights predatory lending while simultaneously offering what he calls “the best mortgage in America”—characterized by no down payment, no closing costs, no fees, low fixed interest rates, and no reliance on credit scores. The conversation highlights NACA’s innovative programs, including converting Section 8 housing vouchers into mortgage payments, the $1 Homeownership Program for vacant properties, and large-scale, community-based homebuying events that process thousands of families in days rather than months. Marks frames homeownership as a tool for wealth-building, community stability, crime reduction, and racial equity. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is threefold: Educate listeners about alternative paths to homeownership that defy traditional mortgage industry norms. Challenge myths about credit scores, Section 8 recipients, and affordability. Promote NACA’s model as a scalable, nationwide solution to the housing affordability crisis and racial wealth gap. Key Takeaways 1. NACA’s Mortgage Model Is Radically Different No down payment No closing costs or fees Below-market, fixed interest rates Credit scores are not used; lending is based on payment history and financial behavior. 2. Predatory Lending Targets Vulnerable Communities Marks defines predatory lending as mortgages “structured to fail”, citing the 2008 housing crisis as a direct result of unaffordable loan structures that later doubled or tripled payments. 3. Section 8 as a Pathway to Ownership and Wealth NACA enables families to apply their Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers toward mortgage payments, allowing renters to build equity instead of enriching landlords. Over a 20‑year term, this can result in $200,000–$300,000 in personal wealth. 4. The $1 Homeownership Program Is a Game Changer Cities sell vacant homes or lots to buyers for $1, while NACA finances renovation or new modular construction—cutting costs by eliminating developers and enabling homes to be built for roughly $120,000 total. 5. Scale and Impact Matter NACA operates in all 50 states Newark event drew 25,000+ people over five days Over 75,000 homeowners served Foreclosure rate: 0.00012. Notable Quotes from Bruce Marks “We have the best mortgage in the country.”. “Predatory lending is a mortgage that is structured to fail.”. “What you’re doing is the wealth is now going to the person with a Section 8, not to the landlord.”. “We do character-based lending, never looking at someone’s credit score.”. “Homeownership is a safety issue, it’s an anti-crime issue.” Bottom Line The interview positions Bruce Marks and NACA as disruptors of the traditional mortgage industry, proving that affordability, scale, and advocacy can coexist. The message is clear: homeownership should be a right earned through responsibility and support—not a privilege restricted by wealth, credit scores, or predatory systems.. #BEST #STRAW #SHMS Steve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
