Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: "Latter Day Missionaries": A Mental Health Resource for LDS Missionaries & their Families [Part I of II]Do you know anyone who experienced issues with anxiety, depression, homesickness, getting along with that annoying companion, or struggles with shame and perfectionism on their LDS mission? Was that you? Your child? If you have been touched in any way with the LDS mission experience and would like a resource that is worth its weight in gold, this series is for you. In today's episode you will meet Dr. Bryson Ensign, a former LDS missionary and psychiatrist in training who has dedicated countless hours creating a resource that he wishes he had on his own mission. As a devoted listener to the Latter Day Struggles podcast, Bryson shares a passion with Valerie to help those in and around the LDS faith with issues of mental well being that are often not understood (and therefore not addressed ) at the institutional level. This episode shares his vision, sense of call, and an overview of his program.

Don takes listeners on a journey through nearly four decades of investment advice, explaining how his thinking evolved from recommending active mutual funds in the 1980s to embracing index funds, factor investing, and eventually ETFs.

Discover why hormones are off and what's really driving the imbalance. In this episode, we break down five root causes — from gut dysfunction and disrupted sleep to chronic stress, appetite dysregulation, and omega-3 deficiency — and walk through what you can actually do to fix it. FEATURED PRODUCT Berberine is a powerful botanical compound that acts as a natural GLP-1 supporter — the same metabolic pathway targeted by medications like Ozempic — helping regulate blood sugar, reduce insulin resistance, and restore appetite signaling from the gut. Since metabolic hormones like insulin and leptin are the first to derail your entire hormone cascade, Berberine directly addresses one of the deepest root causes discussed in this episode. It also supports gut microbiome diversity, making it a foundational tool for anyone working to reclaim hormonal balance naturally.

In "Where Spirituality & Love Meet Life", Pastor Richard Caldwell explains the biblical process of restoring a fallen brother in Christ. Walking in step with the Holy Spirit is tested by how we live toward people in the real world. We can sing about the love of Christ, but our daily lives reveal the true source of our behavior. True spirituality is not found in emotional highs but in yielding to the Spirit during concrete situations. The Apostle Paul addresses the specific challenge of dealing with sin within the church. Legalism breeds pride and burdens others, but the law of Christ operates through humble love. A spiritual believer does not ignore sin or abandon people in their daily struggles. Instead, the goal of Christian fellowship is always biblical restoration. Addressing sin requires deep prayerfulness, carefulness, and absolute truthfulness. We must approach those overtaken by sin with gentleness, keeping a watchful eye on our own proneness to temptation. Key Biblical Takeaways: - True spiritual maturity is proven not by theological knowledge alone, but by how we practically interact with fellow believers who stumble. - Believers must actively care enough about their brethren to gently restore them to a place of biblical obedience. - Legalism approaches sin with pride and condemnation, while the Spirit of God produces humble restoration and genuine healing. - Confronting sin requires a gentle spirit born out of a profound awareness of our own weakness and susceptibility to temptation.

ontext: Exposing the "Buttercup" Church, False Teachers, and the Truth About Biblical LoveEver notice how modern Christianity has fabricated a version of "love" where no one ever gets corrected, disciplined, or told they're out of line?In this video, Coach Shelby sits down—just four weeks out from his shoulder surgery and wearing his protective weight-room strap—to deliver a hard-hitting message on spiritual authority and biblical boundaries. Digging into the scrolls of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John, Coach tackles how the modern church has grown lazy because we rely too heavily on chapter and verse numbers instead of reading the Bible in its true, raw context.John wasn't writing a generic letter; he was dealing with an aggressive group of false teachers who were splitting the early church by claiming Jesus never actually came in a real "dirt suit." Coach exposes the danger of these ancient doctrines and shows how they've manifested today in a "syrupy sweet" theology that refuses to protect the flock. Just like a good coach has to be tough on his athletes because he loves them, leadership in the body of Christ demands clear correction. We are commanded to guard our pulpits, our small groups, and even our homes from those who reject sound doctrine. It's time to stop letting the world dictate our standards, test the fruit of those who claim to lead, and step up to our spiritual responsibilities.Classroom Highlights:The Post-Surgery Reality: Why Coach is wearing his protective gear in the gym and the aggressive handshake that forced him to keep it on.Lazy Reading Habits: How relying on chapters and verses has caused believers to miss the original flow and intent of the authors.The Dirt-Suit Heresy: Breaking down the specific false teachers John was fighting who denied that Jesus came in a real human body.The Fabricated Love Trap: Why a theology with zero discipline, correction, or pain is a completely false representation of God's heart.Guarding the Teaching Circle: Why pastors, supervisors, and CEOs have an obligation to keep unvetted, fruit-free novices out of leadership roles.Scriptures Studied:2 John 1:10 – If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him.1 Corinthians 5:5 – Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved.Proverbs 12:1 – Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.#WordTime #CoachShelby #1John #BiblicalContext #TestingTheSpirits #SoundDoctrine #FalseTeachers #ChurchLeadership #ToughLoveChapters0:00 - Intro: Tying 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John Together0:21 - The Lazy Reader Trap: Missing the Original Intent of the Scrolls0:52 - The Flesh-Suit Heresy: Exposing the Ancient Deception1:15 - Once Saved, Always Saved?

What happens when one of the world's most legendary tropical fruit hunters, permaculture pioneers, and community builders sits down to talk about plants, purpose, spirituality, and the future of humanity? In this deeply inspiring conversation, Darin Olien welcomes longtime friend, ethnobotanist, permaculture educator, and visionary community creator Stephen Brooks for a wide-ranging exploration of regenerative living, plant intelligence, community building, food systems, and humanity's forgotten relationship with nature.

The more we align ourselves with the principles that forests, ecosystems, and living systems have been demonstrating for millions of years, the more abundance, connection, resilience, and purpose we create in our own lives. The future may not require inventing something entirely new—it may simply require remembering what nature has been trying to teach us all along."

Are you ready for the next grizzly bear?—not the animal, but a major market downturn. He discusses the history of market corrections, bear markets, and the rare but devastating grizzly bear markets, illustrating why it's crucial to evaluate your portfolio's risk level during strong market conditions—not during times of crisis. Whether you're approaching retirement or still in your wealth-building years, this episode will prompt you to reconsider your risk tolerance, portfolio diversification, and readiness for inevitable market storms.Outline of This Episode[03:34] Importance of communicating about conflict before it arises [06:27] Discussing market downturns and returns[10:16] Understanding Market Corrections[11:31] S&P 500 correction frequency[16:51] Assessing portfolio risk levels[18:01] Understanding risk and portfolio deviations[24:03] Preparing for market downturns[25:11] Preparing for market downturnsThe Importance of Talking About Risk—Before the DownturnMuch like in relationships, it's best to address potential conflicts before they arise; investors address risk before markets turn volatile. Re-evaluating your comfort with risk and your portfolio's construction when things are calm puts you in the driver's seat. Waiting until a downturn hits can leave you reactionary and vulnerable to poor decisions—like panic selling when it hurts the most.Understanding Corrections, Bear Markets, and Grizzly Bear MarketsI break market volatility into three categories:1. Corrections – The Baby BearA correction is a market drop of at least 10% from its recent high. While the news can make a big fuss about corrections, they are common and, historically, have historically recovered relatively quickly. The S&P 500 has seen 28 corrections since 1969—that's about one every two years. The best move during a correction is strategic rebalancing, not panic.2. Bear Markets – The BearBear markets are drops of 20% or more. Since 1969, they've happened eight times—about once every seven years. Bear markets are more serious than corrections and can be emotionally challenging, but they're still a normal part of the investing cycle. If you're lying awake at night during a bear market, it probably means your portfolio risk wasn't suited to your comfort level before the downturn.3. Grizzly Bear Markets – The Real ThreatA grizzly bear market is a severe drop of 30% or more, and these are rare but devastating. Since 1969, only three have occurred: during the oil and stagflation crisis of the ‘70s, the dot-com bubble in the early 2000s, and the 2008 financial crisis. These markets can take years to recover—some up to 91 months for a portfolio invested solely in the S&P 500.Diversification and RebalancingWhat separates those who weather grizzly bear markets from those who don't? Preparation and portfolio construction. A diversified 60% stocks/40% bonds portfolio has historically fared much better during grizzly bear markets—experiencing smaller drawdowns and much faster recovery times than a pure stock portfolio. By owning more than one asset class and maintaining an “airbag” of bonds and cash, retirees can draw on their safer reserves during downturns, giving stocks time to recover.The Questions Every Investor Should Be AskingIf you're living off your investments, in or near retirement, now is the time to ask:Is my plan set up for the next grizzly bear?Can I withstand a major downturn?Do I have the right mix of stocks, bonds, and cash?Has my advisor “back-tested” my plan against worst-case scenarios?Grizzly bear markets, though rare, are inevitable over a long investing life. The pain is real—but so are the solutions. Assess your risk now, diversify, prepare your cash and bond airbags, and ensure your plan has been rigorously tested for rough times. Addressing risk in your portfolio now leaves you sleeping soundly—no matter what the market throws your way.Connect With Scott WellensSchedule a discovery call with ScottSend a message to ScottVisit Fortress Planning GroupConnect with Scott on LinkedInFollow Scott on TwitterFortress Planning Group on FacebookSubscribe to Best In WealthAudio Production and Show Notes byPODCAST FAST TRACKhttps://www.podcastfasttrack.comPodcast Disclaimer:The Best In Wealth Podcast is hosted by Scott Wellens.

On this week's episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast, Donna J. Adams, EdD, discusses the noticeable rise in learner concerns over the past five years. Now that we are more than half a decade removed from the peak of the pandemic, managing these issues has become a top priority. With UTMB in Galveston, Texas, Dr. Adams serves as Program Director, Translational Research Education, in the Institute for Translational Sciences Office of Educational Programs. We're excited to welcome Dr. Adams for her first appearance on the show as we explore how faculty leadership can actively step in and help address these challenges. "I always tell students you need to look long term. You need to think about what skills can I pick up now that could be transferable to a postdoc to get into where I really want to go? Sometimes you have to play the long game instead of the short game," Dr. Adams said. Learning about unexpected career paths, opening new doors, and playing the "long game" (since some of the skills you gain will stay with you throughout your career) are all explored in this episode through the lens of Dr. Adams's robust experience. Transferable skills, a sense of curiosity, and relationship building are also covered. As the discussion wraps up, Dr. Adams also addresses getting comfortable with change, one of the few constants in academia, and why providing psychological safety is essential.

In this conversation, Dr. Marc Smith shares his journey from hedge fund trading in New York's financial district to building an integrated ketamine psychiatry practice in California. After three years in finance doing trading and sales, Dr. Smith made the bold decision to completely pivot his career toward medicine, driven by a desire for purpose and meaning that his financial career couldn't provide.Dr. Smith's path took him through Columbia University for medical school, followed by psychiatry residency at USC, where he discovered his passion for interventional treatments like TMS and ketamine therapy. His unique perspective, having worked in both profit-maximizing finance and purpose-driven healthcare, provides valuable insights into the challenges of maintaining ethical medical practice in an increasingly commercialized healthcare environment.Dr. Smith's practice, Clear Ketamine + Psychiatry, represents an integrated model where he personally handles psychiatric evaluation, preparation therapy, ketamine treatment administration, and post-treatment integration sessions.What You'll Learn in This Episode· Career transition insights - How Dr. Smith navigated the complete pivot from finance to medicine, including the challenges and rewards of choosing purpose over profit in healthcare· Mental health crisis analysis - Dr. Smith's perspective on factors contributing to rising depression, anxiety, and suicide rates, including social isolation, technology impacts, and healthcare access barriers· Treatment-resistant depression understanding - Why 30% of patients don't respond to traditional antidepressants and how ketamine offers a different mechanism through NMDA receptor antagonism and neuroplasticity induction· Integrated practice model - Dr. Smith's unique approach combining psychiatric evaluation, preparation therapy, ketamine administration, and integration sessions all under one provider rather than outsourcing components· Intentions versus goals framework - How to help patients set internal emotional states they're striving for (intentions) alongside specific, measurable functional outcomes (SMART goals) for comprehensive treatment planning· Ketamine as catalyst concept - Understanding how ketamine works like "jumpstarting a car" to improve mood and motivation, while ongoing therapy and lifestyle changes provide the maintenance needed for sustained improvement· Ethical practice building - Dr. Smith's mission to combat ketamine stigma through evidence-based protocols while addressing concerns about recreational associations and inappropriate use in the field· Private practice autonomy benefits - How owning your own practice allows values-driven decisions that may conflict with profit maximization, contrasting with private equity-driven healthcare models· Business building practical advice - The importance of talking to other practice owners, understanding it's a marathon not a sprint, and knowing your limitations to outsource effectively· Biopsychosocial treatment approach - Addressing biological, psychological, and social elements of mental health through medications, therapy, exercise, sleep, nutrition, social connection, and nature exposureEpisode 58 show notes:00:00:00 - Teaser: Profit vs. Purpose in Healthcare 00:00:35 - Episode Introduction00:02:03 - Dr. Smith's Background: From East Coast to Medicine 00:02:30 - Career Transition: Three Years in Financial Industry 00:04:12 - Discovering Psychiatry Through Clinical Rotations 00:05:32 - Why Psychiatry: Deep Relationships and Human Connection00:08:50 - Tools in the Toolbox: TMS, Ketamine, and Treatment Options 00:09:30 - The Leap: Stepping Away from Finance Success 00:11:17 - The Marble Metaphor: Chiseling Away What We Aren't 00:12:46 - Self-Actualization and Gratitude in Medicine 00:14:01 - USC Residency and Academic Reception of Ketamine 00:16:54 - Evidence-Based Medicine and the Slow Pace of Change 00:19:17 - Mental Health Crisis: Social Isolation and Technology 00:22:50 - The Invisible Nature of Mental Health Challenges 00:25:28 - Private Equity vs. Patient Care: The Business Tension 00:30:18 - Private Practice Autonomy and Values-Based Decisions 00:32:15 - Clear Ketamine + Psychiatry: The Integrated Model 00:36:11 - Treatment Protocol: Six Sessions with Therapy Integration 00:37:56 - Ketamine as Jumpstart: The Car Analogy 00:42:00 - Intentions vs. Goals: Internal States and SMART Outcomes 00:46:30 - Ethical Standards and Combating Ketamine Stigma 00:50:15 - Practice Building Advice: Talk to Other Providers 00:52:55 - Rapid Fire Questions: Book Recommendation 00:54:52 - Last Meal 00:55:52 - Pickleball Obsession and the Philosophy of the Game 00:56:50 - Time Travel00:58:46 - Alternative Career01:00:04 - Advice to 20-Year-Old Self01:01:53 - Contact Information and Practice Details 01:03:03 - Final Thoughts: Gratitude and Evidence-Based Care 01:04:20 - Ending and ResourcesThanks for listeningConnect with Dr. Marc Smith at:Website: https://www.clearketapsych.comInstagram: @clearketapsych, @marcsmithmdLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/marcsmithmdGoogle Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GCHVy8q183c7WvfLA

For most readers, the first time they hear the phrase "air-gapped network," they assume it is the ultimate protection for federal networks. Today we hear from three federal experts who will challenge that assumption and make unexpected observations about air-gapped environments. First, it can give one a false sense of security. For example, an air-gapped system can still rely on a supply chain that may contain malicious code. Second, patches and upgrades are necessary for all software systems. The Internet allows systems managers to patch speedily. A disconnected network may have to rely on a more manual system for updates. Third, air-gap systems can rely on manual data transfer. This means a user plugs in a USB or an external hard drive for data transfer. These are security practices frowned upon by today's security-aware systems administrators. All three will ask questions like what information must be included. What are the levels of Controlled Unclassified Information that should be considered? They even go further, considering measures like allowing only approved software to run and blocking unknown executables. An air gap system can provide security if managed properly.

In the second message of Unmasked, Pastor Derek Anglin explores Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18, revealing how easily self-righteousness can hide beneath religious activity. Addressing those who trusted in their own righteousness and looked down on others, Jesus contrasts two very different approaches to God—one rooted in pride and comparison, the other in humility and dependence. This message examines the nature of unrighteousness, the deceptive notions of self-righteousness, and the ongoing need for God's righteousness in every believer's life. Through the example of the tax collector, we are reminded that spiritual health begins with recognizing our sin and our need for God's mercy. The sermon challenges listeners to remain brokenhearted for broken people rather than becoming judgmental or prideful. Ultimately, the message points to the truth that we cannot make ourselves right with God—only Jesus can. As the series continues, believers are encouraged to invite God to search their hearts, expose hidden pride, and help them live with humility, gratitude, and a deeper awareness of their need for His grace.

Interview with Peter Akerley, President & CEO of Erdene Resource Development Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/erdene-resource-development-tsxerd-first-gold-flows-as-multi-mine-district-strategy-unfolds-8931Recording date: 6th June 2026Erdene Resource Development has entered a new phase as a gold producer with the successful commissioning of its Bayan Khundii mine in southwestern Mongolia. The operation reached commercial production in early 2026 and is already generating strong financial results, including roughly C$100 million in revenue and EBITDA margins մոտ 50%. However, the company's immediate priority is improving ore grades, which are currently around 2.5 g/t compared to the 3.8 g/t reserve target. Addressing dilution and optimizing processing are expected to significantly lower costs and boost cash flow.The mine was developed through a 50/50 joint venture with Mongolian Mining Corporation (MMC), whose local expertise and workforce enabled construction to be completed in just 22 months at a cost of $120 million. This partnership remains central to operations, while Erdene retains long-term upside through a royalty structure that increases its economic share after certain production thresholds are reached.Looking ahead, Erdene is focused on expanding production within the Khundii Minerals District. Near-term opportunities include integrating the high-grade Dark Horse satellite deposit and evaluating a heap leach facility to process lower-grade material, potentially adding up to 35,000 ounces annually. Exploration success to the west of the current pit could also extend mine life and increase output.Beyond Bayan Khundii, the company holds additional assets that are not fully reflected in its valuation. These include the Altan Nar gold-polymetallic project and the large Zuun Mod molybdenum-copper deposit, with a preliminary economic assessment expected in late 2026. Financially, Erdene is in a solid position with no corporate debt and plans to fully repay project-level debt by 2027, after which it may prioritize expansion, dividends, or share buybacks.View Erdene Resource Development's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/erdene-resource-developmentSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
