In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss a CEO roundtable focused on Trump Accounts, contributions pledged by business leaders including Michael Dell and Gwynne Shotwell, the role of investing education for children, and efforts to broaden nationwide participation. They also pivot to comments previously made by James Talarico, examining his remarks about capitalism, climate policy, and economic systems as Cruz contrasts those views with his own defense of free-market principles. The debate over ownership, investing, and economic opportunity takes center stage as Ted Cruz highlights growing support for Trump Accounts from major business leaders and companies. According to Cruz, the program is designed to expand investing opportunities for children, encourage long-term savings, and create a new generation of investors through tax-advantaged accounts.The episode also examines announcements from corporate leaders and philanthropists who have pledged contributions to Trump Accounts, along with efforts to expand participation through employer matching programs and automatic enrollment initiatives. Cruz argues that the program could have long-term effects on how families think about saving, investing, and financial literacy. Topics Covered: CEO support and employer participation in Trump Accounts Contributions announced by Michael Dell, Susan Dell, and Gwynne Shotwell Auto-enrollment plans and nationwide account access Financial literacy, investing, and ownership for children Brad Gerstner's role in developing the original Invest America concept James Talarico's comments on capitalism, climate policy, and economic systems Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In the year 1734 three miners were taken aback when they discovered a male body inside Hallstatt salt mine. The body was very well preserved, having been mummified by salt. Accounts of the time say that the dead body, completely embedded into the rock salt deposits, was discovered following a collapse in the Kilbwerk. His shoes and traces of his clothes had been preserved: 'One can even see a bit of cloth on his dress, and the remains of the shoes on his feet'. The mine workers assumed that it was the long-dead body of a miner who had lived before the first official records, that is, more than 400 years earlier, but after thorough analysis and investigation, today's assumption is that this man was the victim of a mining accident approximately 1000 BCE. The heyday of prehistoric mining was in the late Iron Age between 800 and ca. 400 BCE. At that time, miners would penetrate as much as 200 metres into the mountain, in the Austrian Alps, extracting not gold or precious metals but copious amounts of salt, about half a tonne a day with hand tools, supplying salt to half of Europe 2000 years ago!Hello!Today we are busting all the old myths about the salt!What and how the Romans used it?What did the Greeks say about it?Humans, like other mammals, relied on the small amounts of salt naturally present in food to regulate the amount of fluid in the body. Very powerful mechanisms for conserving salt within the body were developed. For 5 million years, our ancestors added no salt to their diet. The addition of salt to food began relatively recently, about 5000 years ago. As people became increasingly addicted to it, salt became the most important object of trade and the economic foundation of several empires. It was used by authoritarian governments to control their people and as the main source of tax revenue.Join me on another archaeogastronomical adventure!The Delicious Legacy PodcastSupport the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes!https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

Mary welcomes new guest Marziyeh Amirizadeh to talk about the 8 months she spent in a brutal Iranian prison for her faith in Jesus. Born just before the overthrow of the Shah in 1979, the Iran of her parents and grandparents transformed virtually overnight with the rise of the clerics – and strict Sharia law. We learn her story of being arrested for sharing the love of Christ to her fellow Persians and what took place behind the walls of Evin prison, one of the most brutal in the world. Accounts of fellow inmates and the lack of basic amenities paints a picture of a sort of bleak hopelessness that many of us in the West would find intolerable and beyond. But God. And there lies the immensity of her story – the presence of the Lord, the opportunities to bind up the wounds of women living lives of degrading sin and fear. Being a bright light in the darkest of places. The worldwide outrage. The steadfast faith of Marzi and her friend Maryam will leave you breathless. We talk about the process of getting into such a place, enduring it, and getting out. Then we follow up with her current ministry, New Persia. Find her books here – you will be changed.

In June of 2024, 31-year-old Wade Hack traveled from North Carolina to Baltimore, Maryland, to spend time with a man he had met online. What was supposed to be about a week-long visit stretched into several months. By late October, Wade was making plans to return home. But just days before his family was expecting him back in North Carolina, Wade disappeared.The initial account of Wade's disappearance centered on a note he was said to have left behind, suggesting he intended to be gone only briefly. But as his family and friends began retracing his final days, even the most basic details became difficult to pin down. Accounts of when and where Wade was last seen shifted, key stretches of time remained unexplained, and his loved ones were left trying to reconstruct his movements in a city where he had spent only a few months and had very few connections of his own.In Part One of Wade's story, we will examine how he ended up in Baltimore, his final days before he disappeared, and why the timeline his loved ones were initially given became increasingly difficult to verify.If you have any information about the disappearance of Wade Hack, please contact the Baltimore County Police Department at (410) 887-2214.Wade's loved ones have also created an email address for anyone who may have information related to his disappearance: FindWadeAlan@gmail.com.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brad Wooten, CPA, joins Steven Jarvis, CPA, to share his firsthand experience opening Trump Accounts for his three children and why he views them as long-term retirement savings. They discuss how the accounts work, what happens when children turn 18, and why future Roth conversions and kiddie tax considerations matter. The conversation then shifts to the relationship between financial advisors and CPAs and how advisors can be appropriately tax-aware without overstepping. Brad shares real-world examples of clients facing unexpected tax bills because financial decisions were made without enough communication about their tax consequences. Steven and Brad emphasize that advisors do not need to become tax experts to improve collaboration with CPAs. Instead, proactive communication and simply recognizing that financial decisions can have tax implications can go a long way. https://zurl.co/R9rb7
In this episode, we discuss what Trump Accounts are, how the tax treatment works, and the strategy that could turn them into a very significant nest egg.
"Retirement investing and general investing are not the same thing, even though most of us use the words interchangeably. A Roth IRA and a 401k get you started, but they only cover one branch of a much bigger system — the money you'll need for health expenses, your kids' future, and the goals that hit before retirement, like a house down payment, a sabbatical, or supporting your parents.This episode breaks down the four branches of investing: retirement, health (HSA), kids (529s, custodial accounts), and general/midterm investing through a brokerage account — plus why the taxes on a brokerage account are actually working in your favor, not against you.✅ Why retirement investing doesn't have to feel until your 40s or 50s✅ How a brokerage account funds midterm goals (house down payment, sabbaticals, supporting your parents) without touching your retirement accounts✅ The tax hack that comes with investing in a brokerage accountLet's stay connected: Website: www.buildinggenwealth.com Instagram: @building.gen.wealth Learn more about 1:1 Money Coaching: www.buildinggenwealth.com/moneycoaching
Episode SummaryOto sits down with Dr. Ben Tapper — chiropractor, father of five, and one of the twelve people the Biden administration publicly named as the "Disinformation Dozen" — for a conversation about what it actually costs to speak against a narrative. Ben traces his path from a free-range Nebraska childhood to the moment a video of him addressing the Omaha City Council on mask mandates pulled three million views in a day.From there they get into the machinery of censorship: the shadowbanning he screen-recorded, five Instagram accounts deleted one after another, a permanent TikTok ban off a single video, and the financial de-platforming almost nobody talks about — PayPal and Venmo seizing his funds mid-fundraise for a documentary he'd already contractually committed to deliver.They also cover his "why," his read on Bitcoin and the moment the Canadian truckers convinced him, homeschooling, health insurance as an oxymoron — before closing on the lawsuits he's now part of against the Trusted News Initiative and the CCDH.CHAPTERS (Shifted +0:45 to account for the intro)0:00 – Intro0:45 – Meet Dr. Ben Tapper2:15 – A Free-Range Kid in a Household That Didn't Vaccinate3:35 – The Chiropractor Who Called Him a Quack6:45 – What's Your Why?8:30 – "My Children Are My Why"9:25 – Dinner With Bobby Kennedy at Defeat the Mandates11:15 – Passivity, Complacency & the Attack on Men14:15 – Censorship: Where Do We Even Begin15:25 – Shadowbanning & the Zero-Zero-Zero Test17:15 – The Disinformation Dozen: Psaki, Then Biden18:25 – Deleted: Five Accounts & a TikTok Magic Trick21:00 – Financial Censorship: PayPal & Venmo21:45 – Raising Money for "The Time Is Now"22:50 – Day 60, and the Exact Number23:45 – How the Documentary Did25:15 – Bitcoin, Lottery Miners & His Son26:35 – The Canadian Truckers: The Moment It Clicked28:40 – Good Crypto, Bad Crypto & CBDCs29:45 – Water as the Next Commodity31:05 – Oto Explains Real-World Asset Tokenization34:00 – PMAs, Trusts & Structuring Into the Private35:55 – Basel III & In-Ground Assets37:30 – What He's Seeing Five Years On43:15 – Homeschooling: How to Think, Not What to Think45:15 – Project Artichoke & the Precursor to MKUltra47:05 – Supplements, Movement & What He Tells Patients48:45 – Fascia, Myofascial Release & Why Movement Is a Nutrient52:00 – Health Insurance Is an Oxymoron54:25 – Why Cash Pay Changes Everything56:25 – Suing the Trusted News Initiative59:45 – What He's Doing Now1:01:35 – Waves of Tyranny: What Comes Next1:03:25 – Two Minutes in Front of a Million PeopleKEY TAKEAWAYSBen was named by Jen Psaki from the White House podium in 2021, then by President Biden three days later. He found out standing in a grocery store parking lot, put his produce down, and opened Instagram to check whether his account still existed.The deletions weren't one event but a sequence: five accounts in a row, the largest at 79,000 followers pulling three to four million impressions a month, plus Twitter and a permanent TikTok ban off a single video with no political content in it.The financial de-platforming gets the least attention — PayPal and Venmo both seized his accounts, and the $46,000 he'd raised for his documentary went to zero mid-campaign, against a signed contract for $59,000 due in sixty days.The Canadian truckers convoy was his turning point on Bitcoin: funds frozen through the conventional system, and the Bitcoin donations couldn't be touched. He's clear he doesn't fully understand the technology and is fine saying so.He's now a plaintiff in litigation against the Trusted News Initiative and the CCDH, with roughly $200,000–$300,000 in accrued legal fees.LEARN MORE / CONNECTWebsite: http://Drbentapper.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.b.e.n__t.a.p.p.e.r Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/14rUuiSH39u/?mibextid=wwXIfr Substack: https://substack.com/@drtapper X: @Drbentapper1Documentary — The Time Is Now Legal fund — DOJ v.

During the long months of the 2020 shutdown, I spent a surprising amount of time watching the History Channel series Ancient Aliens. I began as a skeptic, but the sheer variety of evidence presented gradually challenged my assumptions. Many years earlier I had read Erich von Däniken’s Chariots of the Gods?, so I was already familiar with the basic outline of ancient alien theory. I had also read Whitley Strieber’s Communion when it was first published, giving me a passing familiarity with the subject of alien abductions. But the evidence presented on Ancient Aliens goes far beyond those early books. At this point, only the most dedicated naysayer could remain completely unmoved by the questions the series raises. For those unfamiliar with the theory, the basic claim is that various extraterrestrial civilizations have been visiting Earth for thousands, perhaps even millions, of years. The stories told around the world of gods descending from the sky and living among ancient peoples are interpreted not as myths, but as historical accounts. According to the theory, these visitors shared knowledge with humanity, particularly technological knowledge, helping advance civilization. Some theorists go even further. They propose that extraterrestrials may have altered human DNA, contributing to the emergence of modern humanity, and that they may continue to influence our evolution through the phenomenon of alien abduction. Others suggest that Earth’s entire ecosystem was seeded from elsewhere (panspermia), including the possibility that our moon was deliberately positioned to stabilize Earth’s axis and create the tides necessary for life. I eventually persuaded my brother Bill to watch the series with me. Over the past several years we have viewed and discussed virtually every episode in its fifteen-season run, some more than once. Yes, many of the stories overlap. The same evidence often appears repeatedly, accompanied by familiar commentary. Yet we found the repetition useful. It allowed us to compare claims, identify recurring themes, and test the internal consistency of the arguments being made. Bill and I pride ourselves on being open-minded, but we also anchor that openness in logic and critical thinking. As you know, we are both PhDs, with backgrounds in philosophy and rhetoric, and we have both taught critical thinking at the university level. So don’t come away with the notion that we accepted every claim hook, line, and sinker. One question in particular has occupied much of our attention. Were the gods of antiquity really gods? Were the fallen angels described in the Book of Enoch truly angels sent from God? Or were these figures actually advanced extraterrestrials whose technology was interpreted as divine power? The Book of Enoch tells of heavenly beings who descended to Earth, mingled with humanity, and even took human wives. Their offspring became known as the Nephilim. The biblical flood is said to have been sent to eradicate these hybrids. But what exactly were the Nephilim? What sort of God would destroy nearly all life on Earth to remove them? And why do angelic beings appear throughout the story warning certain humans to prepare for what was coming? As the theorists on Ancient Aliens frequently point out, such stories can be viewed either as myths or as history. If they are history, however, who are the actors involved? Are we truly dealing with God, angels, and the deities of ancient cultures? Or are these accounts describing advanced off-world intelligences engaged in competing visions of humanity’s destiny, sometimes with catastrophic consequences? These questions have fueled countless discussions between Bill and me. Interestingly, they have unfolded alongside our ongoing exploration of Gnostic theology. As we’ve continued untangling the distinctions between Aeons, Archons, angels, fallen angels, the God Above All Gods, and the god of this world, we’ve gradually arrived at a framework that makes surprising sense of many of these ancient mysteries. Today I’d like to share that framework with you. Where Ancient Alien Theory and Gnosticism Agree After spending several years examining the claims of Ancient Aliens through a Gnostic lens, I’ve found that I agree with more of the theory than I ever expected.Ancient alien theorists question the sufficiency of purely random Darwinian evolution. They argue that the extraordinary complexity of life, consciousness, and civilization suggests purposeful intervention. On this point, I find myself in substantial agreement. As I’ve discussed elsewhere in episodes such as Evolution and Conscious Aeonic Design, I regard evolution not as a blind and accidental process but as a directed unfolding of consciousness through time. Where ancient alien theorists identify extraterrestrial visitors as the guiding intelligence behind this development, I identify the guiding intelligence as the Aeons of the Fullness. I'm putting the link to one of my evolution episodes here in today's transcript. The difference is significant. For many ancient alien theorists, purposeful design implies advanced extraterrestrial engineers. For Gnosticism, purposeful design originates from the Fullness of God itself. The First Category: Aeons To understand the distinction, we must begin with the Aeons.In Valentinian Gnostic cosmology, the Aeons dwell within the Pleroma, or Fullness of God. They are not physical beings in the ordinary sense. Rather, they are divine intelligences, principles, powers, personalities, and attributes through which the intentions of the Father become manifest. If ancient alien theorists are correct that evolution has been guided, then I would attribute that guidance not to flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials but to Aeonic design.The Aeons represent order, purpose, meaning, and realization. Through them, the material cosmos unfolds toward increasingly complex expressions of consciousness. Merely replacing God with extraterrestrials does not solve the fundamental problem of origins. The question remains: where did the order come from in the first place?Randomness cannot account for persistent increase in complexity and meaning. Throwing the components of life into the air an infinite number of times does not explain why they repeatedly organize themselves into functioning systems. The question of purpose remains. The Aeons of the Fullness dream as one of Paradise. All creation is prefigured in the dreams of the Fullness. We 2nd Order Powers manifest aeonic design. Gnosticism answers that purpose precedes manifestation. The Aeons are that purpose. They are manifesting the will of God the Father. The Transpersonal Field Ancient alien theorists frequently point to the phenomenon of simultaneous invention. Again and again throughout history, important discoveries have emerged independently in multiple locations at nearly the same time. Language, architecture, metallurgy, medicine, radio technology, relativity theory, and numerous other innovations seem to appear almost as if humanity accesses a common reservoir of knowledge. The theorists often describe this reservoir as the Akashic Record or as a form of extraterrestrial guidance. I agree that such a field exists. However, I understand it differently. I regard the transpersonal field as an aspect of the Metaversal Unit of Consciousness itself: a repository of all that was, is, and will be. Human beings access this field continuously, though usually unconsciously. Inventors, artists, philosophers, and visionaries often reach into it through contemplation, dreaming, intuition, and insight. In my view, we do not need extraterrestrial programmers to explain this phenomenon. Consciousness itself provides the explanation. The Second Category: Archons Now we come to a category frequently overlooked in ancient alien discussions.The Archons. According to Gnostic cosmology, Archons are not Aeons, and they are not angels.They are the inverted shadows of divine order. Where the Aeons move toward realization, Archons move toward distortion. Where Aeons foster truth, Archons foster confusion. They are entropic forces generated through the deficiency associated with the Demiurge. Unlike living creatures, Archons possess no souls. They have no consciousness, no personal identity. They are demiurgic puppets. They are not products of the Fullness. They are products of separation from the Fullness. This distinction becomes particularly useful when discussing technology. Many ancient alien theorists interpret technological advancement as evidence of benevolent extraterrestrial influence. Yet technology itself is neutral. It can illuminate or enslave. It can connect humanity or divide it. The internet provides a perfect example. One of humanity’s greatest achievements has simultaneously become one of its greatest engines of distraction, manipulation, and division. When technological innovation amplifies vanity, domination, deception, and dependency, I suspect Archonic influence rather than Aeonic influence. The Archons thrive through confusion, distraction, fragmentation, and conflict.That is their signature. The Third Category: Angels Throughout scripture angels appear as beings capable of moving between dimensions of existence. Sometimes they appear fully physical. Sometimes they appear as luminous forms. They interact directly with humanity while simultaneously transcending ordinary physical limitations. In Gnostic thought, angels appear to function as allies of humanity in our ongoing struggle against Archonic forces. Where the Archons seek bondage, angels seek liberation. Where Archons cultivate deception, angels encourage truth. This distinction becomes particularly interesting when considering reports of mysterious interventions involving advanced technology. Ancient alien researchers often cite accounts of unexplained interference with nuclear weapons systems. Some reports describe luminous objects disabling missiles without causing harm. If such accounts are accurate, I would not automatically classify the intervention as extraterrestrial. Such actions are equally consistent with angelic activity: protective interventions intended to prevent catastrophe. Not every luminous being belongs in the extraterrestrial category. The Fourth Category: Aliens And now we arrive at the category that fascinates most viewers of Ancient Aliens.Actual extraterrestrials. Do they exist? I believe their existence is as likely as not. Yet I do not believe every unusual phenomenon should automatically be attributed to them. Carving on sarcophagus lid of Mayan ruler Pascal, 683 AD, bears striking resemblance to a man piloting a rocketship. Or is it simply a king riding his throne downward into the land of the dead? When all other categories have been properly separated, a remarkable amount of evidence still appears to point toward genuine non-human civilizations. Accounts from around the world describe beings descending from the heavens, sharing knowledge, establishing settlements, constructing monumental architecture, and sometimes interacting intimately with human populations. The Book of Enoch preserves one such tradition. It describes non-human beings who descended to Earth, taught forbidden arts, and produced offspring with human women. Whether one interprets these stories literally or symbolically, they differ significantly from descriptions of angels and differ even more from descriptions of Archons.These beings behave like a civilization. They arrive. They teach. They build. They intervene. They pursue agendas. In other words, they behave much like humans would behave if we possessed interstellar technology. From a Gnostic perspective, extraterrestrials would simply be another form of what the Tripartite Tractate calls Second Order Powers: living creatures participating in creation. They would possess souls just as we do. They would struggle with ego, ambition, cooperation, conflict, wisdom, and folly just as we do. Their civilizations may be older than ours. Their technology may surpass ours. But they remain participants in the same cosmic drama. The Ultimate Extraterrestrial Which finally brings us to the question of God. Who is the ultimate extraterrestrial? The answer depends upon which God we are discussing. The Father described in Gnostic cosmology is not a being among beings. The Father is not an old man seated upon a throne somewhere beyond the stars.The Father is the Infinite Consciousness underlying all reality. The Father does not belong to creation. Creation belongs to the Father. The Demiurge, by contrast, is much closer to the deity portrayed throughout much of the Old Testament. The Demiurge speaks. Commands. Negotiates. Punishes. Rewards. Chooses sides. The Demiurge is the angry god depicted in classical art This distinction remains one of the most controversial teachings within Gnosticism.Yet it provides a powerful framework for interpreting stories that otherwise seem contradictory. The God who sends floods, plagues, and catastrophic judgments appears very different from the Father proclaimed by Jesus. For Gnostics, that difference is not accidental. It is foundational. Conclusion So where have Bill and I landed after years of discussing these questions? We have concluded that ancient alien theorists correctly identify many genuine mysteries. Where I differ is in the tendency to place every non-human intelligence into a single category. Gnosticism offers a richer vocabulary. Some encounters may involve Aeons. Some may involve Archons. Some may involve angels. Some may involve extraterrestrials. And above them all stands the Father, the Infinite Consciousness from which all reality ultimately emerges—what we Gnostics call the God Above All Gods. The challenge is not deciding whether non-human intelligences exist. The challenge is learning how to tell them apart. That, perhaps, is the most important question of all. Where do you stand on these distinctions? What is your opinion? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Until next week, onward and upward. And God Bless Us All.

After Bryan Kohberger was arrested and transferred to Idaho, reports about his life behind bars painted a picture of an intensely controlled and isolated existence as he waited for a trial that ultimately never happened. He was housed at the Latah County Jail under heightened security, separated from much of the general inmate population and closely monitored because of the extraordinary attention surrounding the case. Accounts from people familiar with the jail described Kohberger as largely quiet, disciplined and routine-oriented, spending much of his time meeting with attorneys, reading, reviewing case material and navigating the restrictions that came with being one of the most notorious pretrial detainees in the country. There were also periodic reports and rumors about his behavior, interactions with staff, food preferences and conditions of confinement, but much of that information came through unnamed sources or secondhand accounts and had to be treated cautiously. What was clear was that his life had become extremely regimented, with virtually every movement controlled as his defense team prepared for what was expected to be one of the most closely watched murder trials in recent memory.That waiting period stretched on for more than two and a half years as Kohberger's attorneys fought over evidence, expert testimony, the death penalty, venue, discovery, genetic genealogy, cellphone records and numerous other issues that would have shaped the eventual trial. During that time, Kohberger remained incarcerated while the case grew increasingly complex and expensive, and the public continued to speculate about how he was handling confinement and whether the pressure of jail was affecting him. The trial, however, never arrived. In July 2025, Kohberger pleaded guilty to murdering Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in exchange for prosecutors taking the death penalty off the table, bringing the long pretrial period to an abrupt end. What had been years of preparation for a courtroom showdown instead became a transition from pretrial detention to a life sentence, leaving those years in jail as the strange middle chapter between Kohberger's arrest and a trial the public had spent years expecting but would never see.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Service accounts are one of the easiest paths to domain admin on an internalpen test, and one of the most neglected accounts in Active Directory.In this episode, Spencer and Tyler break down why service accounts keepfalling: Kerberoasting every service account (not just the privileged ones),cracking the hashes offline, and spraying what cracks across the environment.Tyler shares a recent engagement where a non-administrative service accountshared its password with a domain admin. Same password, one "SVC_" prefixapart. That spray handed over the domain. He's also seen the built-in RID 500administrator account used as a service account on three separate engagementsthis year.They also get into where these credentials actually live: web.config files onopen file shares, plaintext password files (present on roughly 90% of theirpen tests), and one .eml attachment with the credentials sitting inside ascreenshot.Then the fix list, in the order they'd actually do it:- Inventory the accounts and document where each one is used, before you touch a password- Delete the service accounts that don't need to exist- Strip privileges and restrict interactive logon rights- Get a password vault or PAM solution, and make every password long and unique- Alert on service accounts logging on interactively- Move to group managed service accounts (gMSA) where you can- Enforce 20-25 character minimums in the meantime. They've cracked 20+ character passphrases with a gaming rig, a 180 GB wordlist, and mutation rules producing roughly four quadrillion permutationsPlus the three cleanup mistakes that cause the most damage, including the storyof a $70 billion enterprise where one undocumented password reset turned into a10-hour troubleshooting call.Blog: https://offsec.blog/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@cyberthreatpovTwitter: https://x.com/cyberthreatpovFollow Spencer on social ⬇Spencer's Links: https://spenceralessi.comWork with Us: https://securit360.com | Find vulnerabilities that matter, learn about how we do internal pentesting here.

Joe Trades shares how he went from 5 years of blowing expensive prop challenges to pulling consistent payouts by limiting himself to 2 trades a day and trading 15m/30m ranges on Gold and Nasdaq. Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/joe-trades/ Key moments - [04:14] The only thing stopping me from being a losing trader to break even to a winner was over-trading, revenge trading, and exposing myself to more trades. - [05:48] It's not the valid loss that blows the account; it's what you do after the valid loss that matters. - [06:56] Limit yourself to 1 to 2 valid trades a day to protect your psychology and prevent account blowups. - [12:40] Back in the day, prop challenges forced you to make 16% in a month. Today's cheap futures prop firms are the best opportunity ever to scale slowly. - [15:38] Start small with a single 25K or 50K account. Don't link 5, 10, or 15 accounts until you've proven consistency on one. - [18:09] Avoid trading rounded retail retests because you will often get liquidated or faked out before the real move happens. - [22:39] Keep before and after screenshots of every trade. The 'before' shows why you entered; the 'after' reveals if you managed it out of fear. - [25:21] Instead of moving your stop straight to entry, take partials (e.g., $100) and adjust your stop to a matching negative value (e.g., -$100) to give the trade breathing room.

John and Kathy are 59 years old, one month away fromretirement, and have accumulated $4 million in retirement accounts. Their home is paid off, they have strong Social Security benefits coming in the future, and on paper, they appear to be in excellent shape.But having enough money to retire is only the beginning.In this episode, I walk through John and Kathy'sretirement plan and tackle some of the bigger decisions they'll face over the next 30 years:How much can they comfortably spend while still preserving wealth for their children and grandchildren?Should they stick with the traditional 60/40 portfolio in retirement, or increase their equities exposure?When should each spouse claim Social Security, especially when they have different life expectancies?Should they implement Roth conversions when virtually all $4 million is in tax-deferred retirement accounts?How should the Go-Go, Slow-Go, and No-Go years change their spending plan?How could Roth conversions affect lifetime taxes, Medicare IRMAA premiums, and the eventual inheritance their children receive?What happens if one spouse dies much earlier than expected?Then, we put the plan through a much tougher test.Using my Retirement Backtesting Simulator, I take theirexact retirement strategy back to 1966—one of the most challenging retirement start dates in modern U.S. history—and see whether their $4 million portfolio could have survived 30 years of inflation, bear markets, and sequence-of-returns risk.The results might surprise you.If you're approaching retirement with $1 million, $2million, $4 million or more saved, these are the types of questions worth answering before you retire—not five or ten years afterward.Are you interested in working with me 1 on 1?

A brand new federal savings account for kids just opened, with a free $1,000 attached for a lot of families. Most parents have heard the headline and none of the fine print.In this episode, Nathan Croxford and Taylor Stone break down what a Trump Account actually is (hint: it's not a 529, it's closer to a retirement account), who qualifies for the free seed money, and how it stacks up against Utah's my529 and a UTMA account. They walk through what happens the moment a child turns 18, when the account converts and the IRS starts treating withdrawals like income, and make the case for why most Utah families shouldn't choose just one of these accounts.Key Takeaways:Not a 529: A Trump Account is legally treated like a traditional IRA for a minor. There's no tax-free withdrawal bucket for education the way a 529 offers.The Free Money: Kids born 2025 through 2028 get a one-time $1,000 federal deposit, no strings attached beyond filing the election. Every other child under 18 can still open an account and contribute.What Happens at 18: The account converts to a standard IRA the child controls. Early withdrawals get hit with ordinary income tax plus a 10% penalty, with the same exceptions as any IRA (education, a first home, certain medical costs).Why My529 Still Wins for College: Utah's 529 offers a 4.5% state tax credit and fully tax-free withdrawals for education. A Trump Account can be used for school too, but every dollar of growth still gets taxed as income.Nathan Croxford and Taylor Stone are practicing attorneys at Voyant Legal in Utah.

Thirteen years in business. Nearly 700 wholesale accounts. And the biggest shift Rachel O'Neill of Loftipop made this year was admitting her wholesale business was being run like a D2C channel.If you started in direct-to-consumer and layered wholesale on top, this episode will feel familiar. Rachel came into Paper Camp with a thriving business at Loftipop and left with major enhancements: separate pricing logic, a leaner product line, and a strategy built around the retailers she already has.In this episode, you'll learn:Why wholesale is not an extension of your D2C business — it's a separate model with its own pricing, margins, and rulesHow Loftipop added 60 accounts in the 6 months after Paper Camp, growing from 690 to about 750Why Rachel discontinued SKUs that were still selling — and why she felt "so much lighter" afterwardHow to run channel-by-channel margin math before keeping a product in your wholesale catalogWhat it looks like to nurture current retailers — email outreach, direct mail, and consistent touchpoints — instead of only chasing new accountsHow staying open to change, 13 years in, became the shift that moved her whole business forwardFrom the episode:"The biggest takeaway is that your wholesale business is not D2C. We came into wholesale thinking it was just an extension of our D2C... it's actually a whole separate business model and strategy." — Rachel O'Neill"If you're serious about wholesale, it's 100% worth the investment. In terms of numbers, we've already made our money back and more." — Rachel O'NeillPaper Camp is currently open for enrollment, which only happens twice a year!SIGN UP FOR PAPER CAMP NOWYou can view full show notes and more at http://prooftoproduct.com/456Quick Links:Free Wholesale Audio SeriesFree Resources LibraryFree Email Marketing for Product MakersPTP LABSPaper CampMentioned in this episode:Paper Camp is now open for enrollment!Enroll now in our next round of Paper Camp: http://prooftoproduct.com/papercamp
When someone dies, leaving everything untouched can feel easier than dealing with the legal process right away. In this episode, Nick explains why that decision can quietly create much bigger problems years later. What seems harmless today may become a major obstacle when a family eventually needs to sell, transfer, or access property. The longer these loose ends remain, the harder they can be to untangle. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:
Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with two chilling sibling-reported encounters from remote Alaska, and both stories escalate far beyond a simple glimpse in the woods.The first account comes from Gabe and Rhonda, lifelong berry pickers in their 60s who were gathering berries in Alaska's interior when Gabe dozed off while keeping watch for bears. He woke to something far more unsettling—a large, dark, hairy figure moving along the treeline. What began as a distant sighting quickly turned into a tense retreat as the group raced back on four-wheelers and became convinced the figure was shadowing them, circling through the surrounding woods and staying just out of clear view.Near the parking area, Rhonda fired a pistol shot as the encounter intensified. Then came one of the strangest moments of the night: from the nearby trees, something appeared to mimic a grunt Gabe had made earlier. An older relative with the group offered advice that was simple, eerie, and deeply rooted in experience—ignore it, stay calm, and “sing happy songs.”Fred's second story comes from Tatiana and Nikolai near Yakutat, where the activity was even more aggressive. It began with marble-sized rocks seemingly thrown from the woods, striking Robert and Nikolai. Soon afterward came a shrill sound, a dark figure appearing at a window, and the inexplicable disappearance of a generator. When the generator suddenly came flying back toward Nikolai, the situation took a much more dangerous turn.The encounters continued with a close sighting from the deck of a wrinkled, broad-nosed, hair-covered face staring back at them. Their dog, Roscoe, briefly disappeared. Their skiff was later found overturned. Even after leaving the property, the strange activity wasn't finished. When they eventually returned with a friend, he too was struck by a thrown rock.That was enough. They ultimately sold the property, making sure the new owner knew exactly what had happened there.wo remote locations. Two families. And a series of encounters involving stalking behavior, vocal mimicry, thrown objects, close-range sightings, and something in the Alaskan wilderness that seemed determined to make its presence known.SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

"My business is too young for this." If you've ever said that about wholesale, this episode is for you. Sherry Lam joined Paper Camp with fewer than 20 SKUs, a handful of inconsistent accounts, a full-time day job, and a brand-new baby — and decided that was exactly the right moment to build her wholesale foundation. She went from 3 shaky accounts to more than 50. This is her story, in her own words.In this episode, you'll learn:Why Sherry started wholesale with fewer than 20 SKUs — and how starting early with the right foundation paid offHow she grew from 3 inconsistent accounts to more than 50 while working a day job and raising a babyHow doing wholesale correctly early on turned a "maybe this is a hobby" question into a real revenue streamHow to vet whether Paper Camp is right for you: free resources, the podcast archive, and talking to alumni before you investWhy she came back and took Paper Camp a second time — and what had changed, from Faire's growing role to new outreach normsWhat the alumni community looks like after the course ends, especially for solo foundersAbout Sherry:Sherry Lam is the founder of Sherry's Palette, where she designs greeting cards, enamel pins, art prints, and more.
