Kimberly Jackson, an attorney, advocate, and mother of a daughter with autism, discusses her journey from practicing law to dedicating her career to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. She emphasizes the lifelong nature of disability support, the challenges families face in navigating healthcare, education, employment, and social service systems, and the importance of early intervention, informed advocacy, and coordinated care. Jackson shares personal experiences, including managing her daughter's autism and other medical conditions, highlighting gaps in healthcare professionals' preparedness to serve people with invisible disabilities. She advocates for greater education, empathy, and collaboration among providers and families, and stresses the value of inclusive community opportunities. Her key messages are to avoid assumptions about people with disabilities, strive to help rather than harm through thoughtful support, and encourage healthcare professionals to speak up, innovate, and improve systems that promote lifelong health equity and inclusion.

The City of Seattle is holding its inaugural Indigenous Civic Engagement Day for urban Natives Friday. As Brian Bull of Underscore Native News reports, the goal is to help the city's Native population connect with officials, services, and funding opportunities. Since 2023, Seattle has held a bi-annual Tribal Summit for members of recognized tribes within the state of Washington, but feedback from several attendees said they would appreciate an event for those Natives who are not necessarily from that group, including Native Hawaiian, Alaska Native, and tribes from other parts of the United States. So Kolbi Monasmith (Cherokee), who is with the Indigenous Advisory Council, says all day Friday, Seattle's city hall will be open for those interested in learning more. “Starting on a base level of: How does the City of Seattle work? How do you advocate for policy within that system? How do you advocate within the city budget system? How does that budget system even work? To build up the knowledge and also build those connections.” Tia Yazzie (Diné), who is also with the Indigenous Advisory Council, said Native voices often go unheard within local politics, so organizers wanted a day and space for people to participate, advocate, and learn about the processes within the Seattle system. “But also to have a fun day. We know learning about these things can be very hard and complex, but we want things to be fun for our families and for also the youth to be involved. So that was one of our big goals, was to have the native community, but also youth involved into this whole community event.” To that end, there will be bingo cards, and demonstrations on beading and making lanyards, as well as headshots taken during the event. It is also the five-year anniversary for the nine-member Indigenous Advisory Council. Yazzie says this has encouraged engagement. “Seattle’s unique in that we have a very special urban native environment and community here that wants to engage in these processes more often than not, and then also to create these programs such as the civic engagement day for or make a space for us, and I think that’s one of the reasons why the IAC was created.” Surveys will be sent to attendees of Friday's civic engagement day to see how effective the City of Seattle was at educating and connecting with its urban Natives. (Courtesy College of Menominee Nation) Tribal Colleges and Universities are a valuable resource for both Native and non-Native residents, but a new report finds the institutions are facing a growing funding squeeze, as Judith Ruiz-Branch reports. A new analysis finds TCUs in Wisconsin are producing measurable economic returns while struggling with longstanding funding disparities. Now, one is focusing its efforts on philanthropy to secure a successful future for students. Findings from the Brookings Institution and the American Indian College Fund show federal support for Tribal campuses has fallen more than 7% over the past decade, despite treaty and trust obligations. College of Menominee Nation President Chris Caldwell says despite their economic value and community impact, Tribal institutions have long needed to advocate for equitable funding and resources that mainstream institutions more readily access. “In grant programs, often times we wear a lot of hats here that mainstream institutions don’t have to wear just because of lack of staffing or resources. So being competitive in that context is always a challenge.” The report says every $1.00 invested in TCUs returns $1.60 in tax revenue and public sector savings. A separate economic impact study found CMN generated $16 million for surrounding counties in one year. Caldwell says the college is now increasing its focus on securing philanthropy contributions and demonstrating the impact on students' lives. A graduate of CMN, he says his experience as a student helped put him on the path to becoming its president. “If we were to look around before the college started to today, you would see a big change in how many Tribal members are in high leadership areas, and not just on our reservation, but in surrounding communities.” The report recommends Congress make greater use of mandatory funding when supporting Native communities, suggesting that strategy would help Tribal colleges plan ahead. American Indian College Fund President Cheryl Crazy Bull says investments in Tribal communities are once again becoming an afterthought – and warns proposed cuts could threaten schools just as they’re finding new ways to reach students. “We’re becoming very adept at online education, so the Tribal colleges are able to bring that culturally rich education that Native people want, where they see themselves and they go to school with each other, even online.” Advocates note the federal government also does not provide enough detailed information about how much money is actually reaching Tribal communities. Crazy Bull says they are pushing for improved data access so Native-serving institutions can determine where the biggest unmet needs remain. And on this day in 1790, a presidential proclamation concerning treaty violations against Native nations appeared in a U.S. newspaper. President George Washington responded to violations of treaties between the United States and the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Nations. The proclamation came during the early years of U.S. treaty-making with sovereign Native nations. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Peggy Coffeen interviews Jill Houin at Homestead Dairy in Plymouth, Indiana, where the family milks 5,000 cows across three sites, including a 2,200-cow robotic dairy with 36 robots and a semi-automatic feed system. Jill, a former New Jersey teacher and vegetarian who married into the dairy, describes learning farm life, becoming the farm's tour guide and key messenger, and using truthful, practical explanations to convert skeptics. She shares how community tours brought 1,000 visitors in three hours, and highlights sustainability stories like generating electricity from manure and Notre Dame food waste to power about 1,000 homes an hour. Jill also discusses taking on farm bookkeeping, mediating family perspectives, working with Spanish-speaking staff and interns from Mexico, and launching The Break Room Meat Market restaurant featuring the farm's beef and other local products.This episode is brought to you by Zoetis.

Most farming families have thought about wills, powers of attorney and succession. Far fewer have answered the more uncomfortable question:If you carked it tomorrow, would your family actually know what to do?Not just who gets what.Who do they call? What did you want to happen? What happens with the business? Did you want the farm kept together? And what are the hundreds of smaller decisions your family will suddenly be forced to make at one of the worst possible times?In Episode 134 of the AgriCoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, Ben sits down with Lisa Herbert, journalist, author and death literacy advocate behind The Bottom Drawer Book.Lisa has spent years finding a practical way to make a subject most of us would rather avoid a little easier to talk about.And that matters for farming families.We spend plenty of time thinking about farm succession planning, estate structures, wills, trusts and protecting assets. But as Ben and Lisa discuss, those documents don't necessarily tell your family what you wanted — or remove the emotional load of having to guess.This conversation goes beyond funeral planning.It gets into why we've become so uncomfortable talking about death, why avoiding the conversation can leave families carrying unnecessary pressure, and how seemingly small unanswered questions can become surprisingly difficult when grief and family dynamics collide.Ben also reflects on his own family's very different reactions to the subject — from a mum keen to get her wishes down on paper to a dad who would rather not discuss it at all. And, if he's honest, Ben isn't particularly comfortable with it either.There's also another side to legacy that rarely makes it into the legal documents: the stories, memories, humour and family history that disappear surprisingly quickly once someone is gone.If you're thinking about succession, ageing parents, business continuity or simply making life a little easier for the people you leave behind, this is a conversation worth having.Preferably while everyone is still around to have it.Find out more about Lisa and The Bottom Drawer Book, or order a copy at:https://thebottomdrawerbook.com.au/ If this podcast has ever added value to your farming business, we'd love for you to leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.https://pod.link/1598835360-----------------------Ben Law is a coach to some of Australia's most successful farming families. He was raised on the land — three generations of farming in his blood — and has spent almost 30 years and more than 40,000 hours alongside farming families, first as their financial adviser and now as their coach. Along the way he learned the truth nobody talks about: what makes or breaks a family legacy isn't the money — it's whether the family can communicate, get aligned, and prepare the next generation before succession arrives.That's what this podcast is about. Each fortnight Ben sits down with farming families, trusted advisers and industry experts to unpack how to build a family that thrives across generations — strong in business, strong in relationships, and set up to hand over the farm without losing each other.Disclaimer: The information contained in this podcast is general in nature and for education purposes only.

A new report by the Native American Rights Fund finds rejections increased for both ballots and voter registration forms sent by mail from places with high Native populations from 2020 to 2024. NARF's analysis also documents generations of efforts to suppress or hinder Native voters. The report comes as both Congress and the courts are turning back several President Donald Trump's most significant attempts to alter how people vote or how their votes should be counted. But Native voting advocates remain vigilant for ways the federal government may seek to interfere with the midterm elections in November. GUESTS Dr. Megan Gall, principal at Blockwell Consulting Jaynie Parrish (Diné), executive director of Arizona Native Vote Michelle Sparck (Qissunamiut Tribe of Chevak), director of Get Out The Native Vote Calvin Hedrick (Mountain Maidu), director of policy, training and tribal relations for the California Native Vote Project Break 1 Music: Buc Wild Intertribal (song) Buc Wild (artist) Oneida Powwow: 40th Anniversary (album) Break 2 Music: Everywhere On Earth I Roam (song) Courtney Yellow Fat (artist) The Lost Songs of Sitting Bull (album)

Welcome, friends!Why do we LOVE female rage when it's on a screen, hanging in a museum, or packaged into the perfect TikTok edit, yet become deeply uncomfortable when real women get angry?In this episode, we explore the aesthetics of female rage, from the pressure to remain beautiful and agreeable to the racial stereotypes and double standards that shape how women's anger is perceived. We look at what happens when women swallow their anger, what happens when they finally explode, and why female fury can become so compelling when it's transformed into art, literature and pop culture. And what if rage isn't always an explosion? Sometimes, it simply says: ENOUGH.Are. You. Ready?****************Sources & Further Reading:Brescoll, Victoria L., and Eric Luis Uhlmann.

Michael Medoro says nonprofit coalition building works when partners stay grounded in a shared mission, bring their own strengths to the work, and remain clear about what they can and cannot do. The Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff at Childhelp explains that bold advocacy is not about being the loudest voice in the room. It is about being clear, disciplined, and focused on outcomes for the people you serve.Some of the biggest challenges nonprofits address, including child abuse, trauma, and exploitation, cannot be solved by one organization working alone. Michael explains how coalitions can bring nonprofits, government agencies, corporations, and community partners together to reduce duplication, pool scarce resources, and advance systemic change.In this episode:Why coalition building is becoming a more necessary strategy for nonprofits facing systemic challengesHow mission-centered coalition work differs from partisan political advocacyWhy coalitions can help nonprofits create systemic change that would take one organization much longer to achieve aloneHow Childhelp's Children's Advocacy Center model brings law enforcement, medical professionals, child welfare agencies, prosecutors, and forensic interviewers together to reduce retraumatization and better support childrenThe common concerns nonprofits and corporate partners have about advocacy, including brand risk, loss of control, and slow decision-makingHow to keep advocacy focused on your mission instead of reacting to trends or the news cycleWhy shared values and clear roles matter more than funding and operational plans aloneHow Childhelp stays focused on its core strengths while connecting people to trusted partners and local resourcesWhy boards, legal teams, communications teams, and corporate partners should be involved early in coalition conversationsThe questions nonprofits should ask about mission alignment, governance, resources, ethics, and brand values before joining a coalitionA practical coalition-building framework: trust first, structure second, results measurement third, and ongoing communication throughoutHow to explain coalition decisions to donors, staff, corporate partners, and communities by starting with the mission-based whyYou will leave with a clearer way to evaluate coalition opportunities, establish boundaries and shared goals, build trust across sectors, and advocate for meaningful change without losing sight of your mission or your partners.Episode highlights: (0:00) Intro (1:18) Why coalition building matters for nonprofits today (3:52) How nonprofit coalition building differs from political advocacy (5:33) Why nonprofits choose coalition advocacy to strengthen mission impact (10:38) Common fears about coalition advocacy and corporate partnerships (11:55) How to keep advocacy focused on your mission (12:52) How shared values and clear roles build stronger coalitions (16:57) How boards and executive teams should approach coalition advocacy (18:26) Questions to ask before joining or launching a coalition (20:17) What effective coalition building looks like in practice (21:41) How to communicate coalition decisions with stakeholders (23:36) The future of coalition building for nonprofit impact (24:43) Closing thoughtsGuest: Michael Medoro, Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff, Childhelp ⁠⁠https://childhelp.org/⁠⁠](https://childhelp.org/⁠⁠Full transcript and show notes: https://www.anedot.com/blog/nonprofit-pulse-nonprofit-coalition-buildingMore episodes and the monthly newsletter: https://www.nonprofitpulse.com/⁠If this was useful, follow Nonprofit Pulse wherever you listen.Nonprofit Pulse is a podcast by Anedot that explores trends, insights, and resources that help nonprofits accomplish their mission.

On the sixty- seventh episode of All the Film Things, I had the pleasure of interviewing the Film Commissioner for the City of Jacksonville, Todd Roobin! As Jacksonville's Film Commissioner, Todd Roobin, has been the leading charge behind Jacksonville film industry and overseen the many productions that have filmed in and around the city for 40 years. Todd, who was born and raised in the Bold City, began working in the Jacksonville's film and television office in 1986, which was established just five years prior. He has been integral in bringing production rooms big and small to the region including Hollywood productions, The Devil's Advocate and Lonely Hearts, ever since. He was previously chairman of the Florida Film and Entertainment advisory board and a founding member of Film Florida, even serving as president from 2001 to 2005, and is still an active member and co- chair of their legislative committee. This past March, Todd was honored by the City of Jacksonville with a career service pin to celebrate his four decades of facilitating all kinds of productions and highlighting the local workforce. Previous guest Art Smith jr. has largely credited Todd for making Jacksonville's film and television office amongst the very best he's ever seen.The Jacksonville Film and Television Office, whose motto is “a world of locations in one city”, is to act as a liaison between the local government, the production company, and local film community as well as facilitate permits and create jobs.

After hearing about him through the years, we only got connected this Spring after getting a random phone call from him one afternoon. The next month, we finally met in person when he led a fantastic event for Women and Film and Television (WIFT) Jacksonville alongside previous ATFT guest and the Film Production Coordinator for the city Adam Madrid about filming in Jacksonville. I asked him a few weeks later if I could interview him for my podcast sometime soon and he immediately said yes. I had seen him give interviews on the news before so I assumed this would be one of the many interviews he's given but, when I started preparing for it, I realized Todd hasn't really given an in- depth interview. This episode was recorded on August 20, 2026. In this episode, Todd reflects on his road to becoming Jacksonville's Film Commissioner while looking back on his 40 years in office by sharing star- studded stories like dining with Burt Reynolds and spending the day with Charlize Theron. He also shares important information about Jacksonville's growing film scene, why filmmakers from around the world should bring their productions to the city, and if he hopes to reach 50 years as Jacksonville's Film Commissioner. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

Advocates say incoming changes to the jobseeker benefit could trap young New Zealanders in violent households. From November, some 18 and 19-year-olds will need to prove their parents are abusive before qualifying for the benefit. Felix Walton reports.

September 12, 2026. Steve Adubato sits down with John Feal, 9/11 First Responder and Advocate and Author of I Will Follow You Anywhere, to discuss his decades-long commitment, together with Jon Stewart, fighting for those impacted by September 11th-related injuries and illnesses. Show #818

I'm excited to share this powerful and gut-punching conversation with Jonathan Mooney, a self-described “do-gooder,” speaker, and writer who didn't learn to read until he was 12-years-old. Growing up with Dyslexia, Jonathan faced a number of low expectations: he was told he would be a high-school dropout and likely end up in jail. Instead, he earned a degree in English Literature, started his first non-profit organization in his college dorm, and has gone on to write a number of books, including his latest title Normal Sucks (which, side note: should be required reading for everyone). He's been a champion for neurological and physical diversity for more than two decades, and his award-winning advocacy projects have been featured in major media outlets across the US.  THINGS YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: The powerful messages, both positive and negative, Jonathan heard from the adults in his life as a child with dyslexia What it means to pathologize difference, and how even well-meaning organizations participate in this The difficult and disturbing historical outcomes for differently-abled people, including the ideas and legacy of the Eugenics movement.  How the idea of “normal” has evolved since Jonathan started his advocacy work Why Jonathan believes that learning differences are a gift and why this is such an important concept What parents and teachers can do to help children to see their differences as strengths Protect your loved ones without spying on them.

Michael Barasch, Barasch & McGarry's chief advocate for first responders and others harmed by toxic dust in Lower Manhattan caused by the September 11 attacks, joins Sid to discuss the newly released 9/11 air-quality records that the Mamdani administration says raise serious questions about what government officials knew regarding toxic conditions at Ground Zero.

Stay Connected: The Vine, the Branches & the Purpose of Pruning – John 15:1–12In Episode 151 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into one of Jesus' most powerful pictures of our relationship with Him: “I am the vine; you are the branches.”In John 15:1–12, Jesus teaches that a fruitful life doesn't come from striving harder—it comes from abiding deeper. But He also introduces something most of us would rather avoid: pruning.Together, Jamie and Jane explore why God prunes even the branches that are already producing fruit, how seasons of cutting back can actually prepare us for greater growth, and what it practically looks like to remain connected to Jesus when life feels uncomfortable or uncertain.What if the thing God is removing isn't punishment? What if it's preparation?Jesus' invitation is simple: Remain in Me. Because apart from Him we can do nothing, but connected to the Vine, our lives can produce the kind of lasting fruit God created us to bear.And at the center of it all is love—remaining in His love and learning to love others as He has loved us.Reflection Question: What if the thing I've been asking God to restore is actually something He's pruning so I can grow?____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

— Today's conversation explores a powerful question: What if the most difficult moment of your life became the beginning of your most meaningful work? At the heart of this episode is From Patient to Advocate: Turning Survivorship into Impact, a book about what can happen after the shock of a life-changing diagnosis—when fear, uncertainty, and survival begin to transform into purpose, service, and hope. This is not simply a cancer story. It is a roadmap for anyone who has ever wondered what to do with the wisdom gained through adversity. We'll explore how lived experience can become a form of expertise, why our stories matter, and how people can move from feeling powerless to becoming active participants in their own healing and in the systems that shape their lives. We'll also talk about the emotional realities of serious illness, the role of mindfulness, therapy, community, and resilience, and the surprising ways advocacy itself can become part of the healing process. Ultimately, this is a conversation about turning pain into purpose, finding meaning in what we never would have chosen, and discovering that even our hardest chapters can become a source of contribution, connection, and hope. Valeria sits with Tim McDonald  — He is the author of  "From Patient to Advocate: Turning Survivorship into Impact: A Healthcare Advocate's Guide." Tim is also a healthcare advocate, speaker, and community builder who turned his stage IV colorectal cancer diagnosis into a mission for change. He translates patient experience into meaningful action for researchers, policymakers, and healthcare organizations through leadership roles with Fight Colorectal Cancer, Man Up To Cancer, HOPA, and the PAN Foundation. Now host of Advocacy at Work, Tim uses storytelling and advocacy to raise awareness and drive impact. He is the author of the brand-new book, From Patient to Advocate.

In today's podcast episode, Dr. Kemi Doll, a 43-year-old double board-certified gynecologic oncologist and OBGYN, uterine cancer scientist at the University of Washington, coach for women of color in academic medicine, nonprofit founder supporting Black women with womb cancers, and author of A Terrible Strength, discusses Black womb health and the "terrible strength" that leads Black women to normalize heavy bleeding and pain, endure gynecologic disease, and delay care. She shares her personal history of lifelong painful, heavy periods, infertility labeled "unexplained," and a first endometriosis diagnosis during a C-section despite being a board-certified OBGYN, linking endurance to cognitive load and worsened outcomes. She addresses gynecology's history of experimentation on enslaved Black women and ongoing pain dismissal, and offers steps for healing and advocacy: making space for grief, learning family "womb stories," clarifying medical and physical goals, and bringing a "womb sister" to appointments, plus defining medically and spiritually safe support.    Steps for Healing & Medical Advocacy Dr. Doll outlines actionable strategies for Black women to navigate the healthcare system safely and advocate for their reproductive well-being: Strategy Actionable Step Make Space for Grief Allow yourself to grieve the time, fertility, or bodily peace lost to undiagnosed or dismissed pain. Learn "Womb Stories" Talk to maternal relatives to uncover family histories of fibroids, heavy bleeding, infertility, or gynecologic cancers. Clarify Your Goals Determine both your medical goals (e.g., pain management, fertility preservation) and your physical goals (e.g., daily energy, comfort). Bring a "Womb Sister" Never go to critical appointments alone. Bring a trusted friend, family member, or doula to act as your advocate and take notes. Define Safe Support Actively seek out healthcare providers who offer both medically safe clinical care and spiritually safe emotional support.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jasmine Young. Founder and President of the Financial Literacy Institute, joins Rushion McDonald to discuss her journey from a small rural town in Alabama to becoming a financial literacy advocate, entrepreneur, and community leader. The conversation focuses on education, financial empowerment, HBCUs, generational wealth, entrepreneurship, and the role economic power plays in creating social change. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Share Jasmine Young's personal story and professional journey. Highlight the importance of financial literacy and financial education. Promote entrepreneurship and wealth-building within underserved communities. Discuss the value and impact of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Raise awareness about the Black Wall Street Black Business Expo and its mission. Encourage individuals and families to build financial independence and generational wealth. Key Takeaways 1. Education Was Her Path to Opportunity Young grew up in rural Alabama and saw education as her pathway to a different future. She earned a full scholarship to Alabama A&M University and knew as early as high school that she wanted to become a CPA. Quote: "I knew that I was getting out, and I was going to use financial literacy as a way to do it." Her story demonstrates how education can create opportunities regardless of where someone begins. 2. HBCUs Build Confidence and Leadership Young credits Alabama A&M University with shaping her personally and professionally. She explains that being surrounded by Black excellence helped develop her confidence and prepared her for challenges she would face in the broader workforce. Quote: "Going to an HBCU was the best thing I ever did." She argues that HBCUs provide not only academic preparation but also practical life and leadership skills. 3. Financial Literacy Starts at Home One of the most compelling parts of the interview is Young's description of how her parents taught financial responsibility. Although her family lived in a rural area and did not appear wealthy by traditional standards, they taught budgeting, discipline, accountability, and long-term thinking. Examples included: Managing a weekly allowance. Paying for personal expenses. Learning to budget before adulthood. Understanding the value of money early. She believes these lessons created the foundation for her success. 4. Wealth Is More Than Appearances As a child, Young was embarrassed by her rural upbringing. Later, she realized her family possessed something far more valuable than appearances: land ownership, self-sufficiency, and financial wisdom. Her family owned more than 78 acres of land and lived off resources available on their property. She learned that true wealth is often found in assets, knowledge, and long-term planning rather than outward displays of success. 5. Financial Literacy Is Her Purpose Young explains that her passion for numbers eventually became her life mission. Through the Financial Literacy Institute, she works to increase financial knowledge and help families improve their economic outcomes. Quote: "My passion for financial literacy was actually my purpose." Her goal is to spread financial literacy one family at a time. 6. Economic Power Creates Social Change A major theme of the interview is that financial empowerment and social justice are closely connected. Young argues that communities gain influence when they build wealth, support businesses strategically, and leverage their spending power. She believes economic participation is one of the most effective ways to create meaningful change. Quote: "The way for us to move the needle economically is we have to be civically engaged." 7. The Legacy of Black Wall Street Matters Today Young created the Black Wall Street Black Business Expo to honor the entrepreneurs and wealth-builders of Tulsa's Greenwood District while encouraging modern business owners to continue that legacy. She views the event as both a celebration of Black excellence and a call to action. Key goals include: Supporting Black-owned businesses. Building generational wealth. Strengthening communities through entrepreneurship. Encouraging civic and economic engagement. 8. Your Environment Does Not Define Your Potential Throughout the interview, Young challenges stereotypes about people from rural communities. She demonstrates that success is not determined by geography, background, or circumstances but by education, discipline, opportunity, and persistence. Her story serves as an example that individuals can achieve significant success regardless of where they start. Notable Quotes On education and opportunity "I knew that I was getting out, and I was going to use financial literacy as a way to do it." On HBCUs "Going to an HBCU was the best thing I ever did." On financial literacy "My passion for financial literacy was actually my purpose." On her upbringing "My parents gave my brother and me a basic foundation of how to be a responsible financial adult." On economic empowerment "The way for us to move the needle economically is we have to be civically engaged." On wealth-building "We've done it before, and Black Wall Street is an example of it." On leveraging economic power "The answer to all our social injustice issues is recirculating the Black dollar in our community." Overall Assessment The interview is a powerful discussion about financial literacy, education, entrepreneurship, generational wealth, and community advancement. Jasmine Young presents a compelling example of how discipline, education, and financial knowledge can transform lives. Her message is that true empowerment begins with understanding money, building assets, supporting community businesses, and using economic influence to create lasting social and financial change. The central theme is that financial literacy is not just about money. It is a tool for freedom, opportunity, and generational impact. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

If you've ever thought, "What is happening to my body, and why don't I feel like myself anymore?" this episode is for you. Maybe you're gaining weight even though you haven't changed what you're doing. You're exhausted but can't sleep. Your anxiety feels different. Your brain feels foggy. And maybe you've gone to the doctor looking for answers only to hear, "Your labs are normal." Today, I'm sitting down with Dr. Tabatha Barber, The Gutsy Gynecologist, for the conversation I wish more Christian women were having about perimenopause, menopause, hormones, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), GLP-1s, sleep, weight gain, and advocating for your health. We're also talking about how to seek answers and wise medical care while continuing to trust God with our bodies and our lives. In This Episode: ✦ Why hormonal changes can affect mood, sleep, brain fog, weight, and energy ✦ What women should understand about HRT and different treatment options ✦ Why "normal" labs may not tell the whole story ✦ How to find a knowledgeable provider and advocate for yourself ✦ What to know about compounded medications and GLP-1 safety ✦ Why sleep and nervous-system regulation matter in midlife ✦ How to take your thoughts captive and renew your mind ✦ Why trusting God and seeking wise medical care belong together One of the things I hope you take away from this conversation is to be proactive about your health. We can trust God and ask questions. We can pray and get the labs. We can have faith and seek wise medical care. We can care for our bodies without making our bodies our idols. Go to God first. Get wisdom. Ask questions. Advocate for yourself. And take the next right step. About Dr. Tabatha Barber Dr. Tabatha Barber is a triple board-certified physician in obstetrics and gynecology, menopause, and functional medicine. Known as The Gutsy Gynecologist, she helps women better understand their hormones, gut, and metabolism through a whole-body approach.

Although her family lived in a rural area and did not appear wealthy by traditional standards, they taught budgeting, discipline, accountability, and long-term thinking. Examples included: Managing a weekly allowance. Paying for personal expenses. Learning to budget before adulthood. Understanding the value of money early. She believes these lessons created the foundation for her success. 4. Wealth Is More Than Appearances As a child, Young was embarrassed by her rural upbringing. Later, she realized her family possessed something far more valuable than appearances: land ownership, self-sufficiency, and financial wisdom. Her family owned more than 78 acres of land and lived off resources available on their property. She learned that true wealth is often found in assets, knowledge, and long-term planning rather than outward displays of success. 5. Financial Literacy Is Her Purpose Young explains that her passion for numbers eventually became her life mission. Through the Financial Literacy Institute, she works to increase financial knowledge and help families improve their economic outcomes. Quote: "My passion for financial literacy was actually my purpose." Her goal is to spread financial literacy one family at a time. 6. Economic Power Creates Social Change A major theme of the interview is that financial empowerment and social justice are closely connected. Young argues that communities gain influence when they build wealth, support businesses strategically, and leverage their spending power. She believes economic participation is one of the most effective ways to create meaningful change. Quote: "The way for us to move the needle economically is we have to be civically engaged." 7. The Legacy of Black Wall Street Matters Today Young created the Black Wall Street Black Business Expo to honor the entrepreneurs and wealth-builders of Tulsa's Greenwood District while encouraging modern business owners to continue that legacy. She views the event as both a celebration of Black excellence and a call to action. Key goals include: Supporting Black-owned businesses. Building generational wealth. Strengthening communities through entrepreneurship. Encouraging civic and economic engagement. 8. Your Environment Does Not Define Your Potential Throughout the interview, Young challenges stereotypes about people from rural communities. She demonstrates that success is not determined by geography, background, or circumstances but by education, discipline, opportunity, and persistence. Her story serves as an example that individuals can achieve significant success regardless of where they start. Notable Quotes On education and opportunity "I knew that I was getting out, and I was going to use financial literacy as a way to do it." On HBCUs "Going to an HBCU was the best thing I ever did." On financial literacy "My passion for financial literacy was actually my purpose." On her upbringing "My parents gave my brother and me a basic foundation of how to be a responsible financial adult." On economic empowerment "The way for us to move the needle economically is we have to be civically engaged." On wealth-building "We've done it before, and Black Wall Street is an example of it." On leveraging economic power "The answer to all our social injustice issues is recirculating the Black dollar in our community." Overall Assessment The interview is a powerful discussion about financial literacy, education, entrepreneurship, generational wealth, and community advancement. Jasmine Young presents a compelling example of how discipline, education, and financial knowledge can transform lives. Her message is that true empowerment begins with understanding money, building assets, supporting community businesses, and using economic influence to create lasting social and financial change. The central theme is that financial literacy is not just about money. It is a tool for freedom, opportunity, and generational impact. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Most leaders pour all their energy into managing the people who report to them and forget the other two-thirds of the job: managing up to their boss and across to the peers who can make or break a project.

Jeff sides with the devil for a little bit when it comes to talking about the Browns. Dan Menningen goes over the biggest headlines from around the sports world today.

Chris Klimek convenes a battle of the bands between two of the most acclaimed concert films ever made: Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense and Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz. One is a lean, propulsive document of Talking Heads at the height of their powers, transforming a live performance into something theatrical and strangely transcendent. The other is a star-studded farewell to The Band that expands beyond a single concert into a sweeping elegy for an era of rock and roll itself. Arguing for The Last Waltz is Steven Hyden (Is This It: The Never-Ending Rise and Fall of The Strokes and Rock and Roll), who contends that Scorsese's film is more than a concert movie: it's the definitive cinematic statement on rock music and its mythology. Representing Stop Making Sense is Elizabeth Cantwell (Bright Wall/Dark Room), who makes the case that Demme's film remains the more immersive, inventive, and enduring work of cinema. Is the greatest concert film about a band, or about rock and roll itself? Which movie best captures the power of live music on screen? Choose your winner at moviedeathmatch.com.

Episode OverviewOn this episode of The Articulate Fly, Trout Unlimited President and CEO Chris Wood returns to discuss the fight to save the Roadless Rule, the 25-year-old policy now facing a full rescission by the U.S. Forest Service. With a public comment period closing September 21st, host Marvin Cash and Chris cover why this fight matters well beyond hunters and anglers. Chris, who helped write the original 2001 Roadless Rule as a Forest Service policy staffer under Chief Mike Dombeck, walks through its origins, the parallel legislative attack led by Senator Mike Lee and why the rescission would open 44 million acres of backcountry to new road construction. The conversation ranges from Idaho and Utah's grazing and oil and gas leasing inside roadless areas to the outsized role these lands play as cold, clean water sources for the Tongass National Forest, Colorado's greenback cutthroat trout habitat and Idaho's bull trout and Chinook and steelhead runs. Chris also details recent Trout Unlimited conservation wins, including record coho returns from the North Coast Coho Project and a deal to acquire four dams on Maine's Kennebec River to open habitat for Atlantic salmon. The episode closes with concrete advice on how anglers can make their voices heard before the comment deadline.Key TakeawaysWhy the Roadless Rule's rescission would strip protections from 44 million acres of backcountry that provide the coldest, cleanest water for downstream trout and salmon fisheries.How to submit an effective public comment before the September 21st deadline, including personalizing it with a specific roadless area or species that matters to you.Why the "de facto wilderness" argument against roadless areas doesn't hold up, since these lands already permit off-road vehicle use, grazing, oil and gas leasing and mining.When a more deliberate, iterative rulemaking process (like the state-specific rules Idaho and Colorado developed under the Bush administration) makes more sense than a blanket rescission.Why building a broader coalition beyond traditional hunters and anglers is becoming essential to winning public lands fights in the current political environment.Locations & SpeciesThe episode centers on the 58.5 million acres of national forest backcountry protected by the 2001 Roadless Rule, with particular attention to Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Alaska's Tongass National Forest. These roadless areas supply drinking water for more than 40 million Americans and serve as critical, contiguous habitat: 70% of Colorado's greenback cutthroat trout, 68% of Idaho's bull trout and 70-75% of the Tongass' and Idaho's Pacific salmon and steelhead populations depend on habitat found within roadless areas.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat is the Roadless Rule, and why is it being challenged right now?The 2001 Roadless Rule bars new road construction across 58.5 million acres of national forest. On August 18th, the U.S. Forest Service proposed rescinding it entirely, with a public comment period ending September 21st. A parallel legislative effort led by Senator Mike Lee also seeks to eliminate the rule and bar any future administration from reinstating it.Why do roadless areas matter for trout and salmon fishing specifically?Roadless areas are the source of the coldest, cleanest water for the larger rivers downstream that support wild trout and salmon. They protect outsized shares of at-risk populations, including most of Colorado's greenback cutthroat trout, Idaho's bull trout and the Tongass National Forest's Pacific salmon and steelhead runs.Isn't a roadless area basically the same as a designated wilderness area?No. Unlike wilderness, roadless areas already permit off-road vehicle use (33% of all motorized trails in the 12 Western states are in roadless areas), oil and gas leasing, grazing and mining, so the argument that they're "de facto wilderness" locked away from any use doesn't hold up.How can anglers make their comments count before the September 21st deadline?Personalizing a comment with a specific roadless area, species or memory that matters to you is more effective than a generic form submission. Comments can be submitted through Trout Unlimited, and the goal is to exceed the 1.6 million comments the original rule drew 25 years ago.What happens if the rescission goes through anyway?Advocates expect the rescission to face extensive litigation. Continued advocacy and public pressure are seen as important groundwork for reversing the rescission under a future administration if needed.Submit Your Comment Before the DeadlineSponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.
