This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 13th of May and here are the headlines.Asserting that no place in Pakistan remained safe for terrorists, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday told soldiers at the Adampur air base in Punjab that India's drones, and missiles gave sleepless nights to Pakistan. His speech came a day after his first public address since India launched Operation Sindoor. PM Modi also reiterated the new 3-point doctrine he had unveiled a day earlier, including that New Delhi will no longer tolerate nuclear blackmail. During his early morning visit to Adampur, the Prime Minister hailed the Indian Air Force personnel, saying that they made every Indian proud, and had created history. Modi got briefed by the Air Force personnel on the situation, and also interacted with jawans. Meanwhile, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a key briefing with military chiefs on Tuesday, with the CDS, Army Chief, Navy Chief, Vice Air Chief and Defence Secretary in attendance.At least three militants have been killed in the ongoing encounter in the upper reaches of Shopian in South Kashmir. Gunshots were heard Tuesday morning after which senior police officials confirmed the presence of militants in the area. In the contact, there was an exchange of fire between security forces and militants. However, with the operation ongoing, officials have refrained from divulging further details at this point.In a verdict six years in the making, the Mahila Court in Coimbatore on Tuesday convicted all nine accused in the 2019 Pollachi sexual assault case and awarded them life imprisonment. The nine men were found guilty of multiple charges, including criminal conspiracy, sexual harassment, rape, gangrape, and extortion. The incident, which came out just weeks before the 2019 general elections, led to Tamil Nadu's then ruling AIADMK getting politically cornered with allegations of inaction and links to the accused. Judge R Nandhini Devi pronounced the sentence Tuesday afternoon, following arguments from both the prosecution and the defence.The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared the Class 12 results 2025 today (May 13).

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS, has greeted Trump upon arrival in Riyadh. US President Donald Trump was greeted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the sounds of a 21-gun salute and trumpets. The two leaders then headed to the Royal Court where a lengthy procession of dignitaries, officials, business figures waited their turn to shake hands with them. The Saudi-US Investment Forum has also begun, with the two leaders expected to take part later today. Saudi Arabia is the first leg of Trump's regional tour that also includes stops in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Send us a textYou've asked. We've avoided. But today? We answer. In this no-holds-barred, caffeine-fueled episode, Aaron and Trent finally break down what Special Reconnaissance (SR) actually does—why it exists, why it's not just “Air Force Marine Recon,” and why anyone trying to say “but SEALs can do that” needs to go touch grass.Trent—who literally helped write the playbook for SR—lays out why the Air Force had to level up from SOWT, why SR isn't a clone of other recon units, and how SR brings a capability-based solution to Air Force-specific problems in the next-gen fight. Oh, and if you think it's just “guys sneaking around in ghillie suits,” strap in. We're talking intel, electronic warfare, environmental sensing, sniper school, free fall, and (hopefully) dive recovery missions… all while bridging the gap between air assets and ground teams.Also: Why the Air Force finally realized being “just an enabler” wasn't cutting it anymore, how SOCOM called their bluff, and why SR isn't meant to just “loan guys out” to other services. This is your crash course on why SR isn't weather anymore—and why it's a critical wedge in the special warfare team.

The ‘Dirty Triple White' Nike Air Force 1 is the most viral sneaker this year. It's a shoe from Nike's Dot Swoosh division that's made to look like it's been worn-in right out of the box.

On this episode, co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss the sacred status of the white-on-white Air Force 1s, the less-talked-about black pair, and the real thing you should be mad about when it comes to Uptowns.

Send us a textIn today's Daily Drop, Peaches wades through 20+ pages of Pentagon memos so you don't have to—and the headlines are as wild as you'd expect. From the DoD accelerating AI and electronic warfare for SOF teams (because robot war is here), to the Pentagon trying to fire every transgender troop in 30 days (seriously), it's another day in America's defense soap opera.Also: the Space Force is debating whether orbital refueling is even worth it, even though it sounds like the coolest sci-fi thing ever; the B-52 radar upgrade blows past budget (shocker); and the Air Force finally admits the CV-22 Osprey might never hit full capability again (gasp). And yes, the crew debates which generation would actually win in an all-out war cage match—Gen X or the Greatest Generation?

Episode Summary:In today's episode, Russ and Mike unpack their insightful five-pillars framework for Social Security optimization and reveal strategies that could help maximize retirement benefits. With pensions disappearing and Social Security representing 30-50% of retirement income for many Americans, making the right claiming decision is crucial. The authors highlight a startling reality: 80% of men die married while 80% of women die single, yet most claiming strategies overlook this fact. Their approach moves beyond simple break-even analysis to consider timing, taxation, coordination, longevity, and legacy planning. They also discuss the hidden danger of "dollar cost ravaging" and share their "Solve for Zero" strategy to potentially eliminate federal taxes in retirement.About the Guests:Mike Hoeflich is a career changer who worked as a systems analyst, then in human resources and trust plans administration before becoming a teacher. He's now in his 10th year as a certified Social Security claiming strategies specialist helping people with retirement income planning.Russ Gaiser spent nearly nine years on active duty in the Air Force as a surgical tech, then seven years as a healthcare administrator before transitioning to financial planning during COVID. He's in his fourth year specializing in retirement planning and social security optimization.The Five Pillars of Social Security Optimization:1. Timing: Considers survivor benefits, inflation protection, and integration with other retirement assets2. Taxation: Examines how benefits are taxed federally and by state, and strategies to manage tax brackets 3. Coordination: Addresses spousal benefits and healthcare cost planning 4. Longevity: Mitigates inflation risk and market risk for long-term income security 5. Legacy: Focuses on increasing excess capital for charitable giving and passing wealth to heirsKey Concepts Explained:Dollar Cost Ravaging: Unlike dollar cost averaging during the accumulation phase, retirees face "sequence of returns risk" when they start withdrawing money. The order in which market returns occur matters significantly during retirement, and can ravage portfolios if withdrawals continue during market downturns.Solve for Zero Strategy: A method to determine how much additional income (from part-time work, IRA distributions, dividends, etc.) you can have alongside Social Security benefits while still maintaining zero federal tax liability.Client Success Story:Russ shared a story about a 67-year-old client who discovered she was eligible for survivor benefits from her ex-spouse who had passed away. This revelation resulted in approximately $61,000 in benefits that she could pass on to her children as a legacy from their father.Get the Book:Readers can download a free ebook and audio version of "Beyond Break Even" at beyondbreakevenbook.comConnect with the Authors:For a complimentary retirement income stress test, call 1-888-280-PLAN.Support the show

Send us a textWelcome to the May 8th Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down another round of Pentagon chaos with his signature sarcasm. On today's menu: the DoD admits it probably won't pass an audit… for at least another 3 years (LOL), military daycares struggle with child abuse reporting (yikes), and the Pentagon's cyber warriors are apparently fighting cartels with keyboards at the border (sure, why not?).Meanwhile, the KC-46 Pegasus finally clears its cracked ribs, the F-15EX basing drama gets messier, and SOCOM's new aircraft is already asking for upgrades—less than a year in. Over in Space Force? They're making a planetarium movie to convince you they're not just a meme, while also quietly building a new orbital warfare “product line.” Oh, and North Korea? Still launching missiles. No big deal.

Dr. David Hamilton, retired surgeon and award-winning historian joins us to to discuss his upcoming book The Enigmatic Aviator: Charles Lindbergh Revisited (out May 21, 2025—on the 98th anniversary of Lindbergh's legendary flight to Paris). Dr. Hamilton unveils the lesser-known side of Lindbergh—his pivotal contributions to medical science, organ perfusion technology, and even the design of early centrifuges. We explore Lindbergh's engineering brilliance, his secretive private life, and how his scientific legacy was buried beneath decades of political smears and tabloid noise. From barnstorming to building perfusion pumps, from fighting with the Luftwaffe to shaping the future U.S. Air Force, Lindbergh's life was more complex than the myths suggest. This deep dive is both revelatory and respectful, with stories you've never heard—because until now, no one had dug this deep. Dr. Hamilton at the Smithsonian - Unusual, in that the Spirit of St. Louis was down for cleaning - NOT hanging from the ceiling as it usually is!

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Christian Espinosa, founder and CEO of Blue Goat Cyber.Christian shares his experience of growing up in poverty with an unstable home life, seeking structure in the Air Force, and eventually transitioning from a successful freelancing career to launching his first company, Alpine Security. Christian explains that boredom and the desire for growth pushed him to scale his business, which involved convincing long-time clients to trust his growing team. Despite early challenges, he successfully built and sold Alpine to Cerberus Sentinel during the pandemic—a decision driven by burnout and what he felt were signs from the universe.After the sale, a serious health scare prompted Christian to reassess his path. Recovering from blood clots and reflecting on how a medical device saved his life, he founded Blue Goat Cyber with a mission to secure medical technologies. Drawing on earlier industry experience, he strategically niched the company to focus on medical device cybersecurity, guided by FDA mandates and a clear understanding of the market's pain points. Christian talks about reactivating old contacts, leveraging past partnerships, and using tools like StoryBrand to refine messaging and positioning.

Today's Story: Super Squadron Test

Casualties as India attacks Pakistan and Islamabad 'downs Indian jets' in retaliation Pakistan says India has launched strikes at six different sites, killing at least 26 people and injuring 46 more. In response, Islamabad claims its Air Force has shot down five Indian warplanes and some drones, calling the Indian attack ""cowardly and shameful" At a pre-dawn news conference in Rawalpindi, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said India used a variety of weapons to hit six targets, resulting in 24 impact sites. He added that the strikes hit locations inside Pakistan and in Pakistan-administered Kashmir—including a mosque. It's a shame, Trump says as India launches attack on Pakistan Over in Washington, US President Donald Trump reacted to the India-Pakistan escalation by calling it ""a shame"", and said he hoped the situation would cool off quickly. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said they'd just gotten word of the strikes as they were walking into the Oval Office. He noted that many people expected something like this might happen, given the long and tense history between the two countries. Israeli strikes on school shelter kill 31 Palestinians In Gaza, another tragedy: Israeli strikes on a school being used as a shelter for displaced families have killed at least 31 people and wounded dozens more. According to Palestinian civil defence, the air strikes hit a school in the Bureij refugee camp, located in central Gaza. A spokesperson said it was sheltering many who had already been forced to flee their homes due to ongoing Israeli war. Germany's Merz elected chancellor in second round Friedrich Merz has been elected Germany's new chancellor after a dramatic second round of voting in parliament. The 69-year-old leader of the conservative CDU/CSU alliance secured three hundred and twenty five votes, just enough for an absolute majority, after falling short in the first round. He now heads a coalition government alongside the centre-left Social Democrats, taking over from outgoing chancellor Olaf Scholz. Turkish intelligence foils another pager bomb plot in Lebanon Turkish intelligence has reportedly foiled yet another plot involving explosive devices disguised as everyday items—this time, pagers and chargers. According to details shared by the *Sabah* newspaper, Türkiye's National Intelligence Organization, or MIT, uncovered the plot at Istanbul Airport in 2024, though the news has only just come to light. The intercepted shipment had come from Hong Kong and was headed to Lebanon. Inside were 1,300 pagers and over 700 chargers, all cleverly hidden in boxes labelled as food choppers.

(Alien Captured By Air Force) *** Dale Earnhardt Jr. says he was pulled from a flaming car by a paranormal entity. Did a ghostly specter save this NASCAR driver's life? (The Race Car Angel) *** William Dunham was ill-tempered, ready to fight at all times – especially when drunk. He owned two less-than-reputable establishments. So it shouldn't be a surprise people would want him dead. But when one has so many enemies, it's not easy for police to find out who the person was that murdered you. (The Dunham Murder) *** I'll share an account of something very disturbing seen in Michigan – a strange creature… a grayish-colored entity more man than beast, but more paranormal than normal. (Michigan Humanoid) *** Visiting haunted houses, cursed lands, driving on ghostly roads… they all can be scary. Stepping into a hospital at night is incredibly spooky. But image what kind of stories you'd have to tell if you were a night-shift employee at a cemetery. (Creepy Stories of Cemetery Workers) *** 
In all of their different incarnations, the Men in Black usually have one main purpose: to muzzle witnesses of strange, paranormal phenomena. That's exactly what happened to one UFO hunter while researching what is now known as the Rendlesham Forest incident.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textIn this members-only deep cut, Aaron and Trent pull no punches (and no show prep) as they ramble, rant, and roast their way through moving mishaps, military stupidity, and the myth of “cool deployments.” If you thought Ones Ready was structured… buckle up. This episode is pure stream-of-consciousness chaos, blending gym talk, Air Force drama, and political hot takes that'll make the Pentagon's PR team sweat.Aaron goes full “crunchy dad” about unvaccinated kids and Montessori beds (seriously), Trent breaks down how moving wrecks your soul, and together they demolish the fantasy of operator life. Spoiler: it's mostly paperwork, puke, and pretending to like mandatory fun runs.Also: freefall sounds awesome until you realize it's 12 hours of hurry-up-and-wait for 30 seconds of “cool.” And yes, they absolutely clown on commanders too fat to meet their own fitness standards. If you've ever wondered what the Ones Ready crew really talks about when the cameras are off… this is it.

Send us a textIn today's Daily Drop, Jared serves up the Pentagon's latest budget clowns and bureaucratic “wins” with his usual spicy commentary. First up: the Defense Secretary is finally chopping some four-star generals—because apparently you don't need that many bosses to lose wars. Meanwhile, the Air Force is overhauling basic training again (spoiler: it might actually get hard), Space Force is still figuring out who's supposed to do what, and DoD firefighters are overworked and underpaid (but hey, thanks for showing up!).Also on deck: the U.S. tests a reusable hypersonic missile (finally catching up to China), Tricare's paperwork hell drags on, and Congress realizes that refurbishing 60-year-old missile silos is maybe not the best idea. Oh—and Space Force might just give up on satellite refueling before it even starts because… math?

Cindy Beier is the founder of Emerald Peak Holdings and CNS Management, with over 30 years of experience in real estate—from new construction sales to live-in flips to multifamily investing. After starting as a real estate agent and property manager, Cindy transitioned into syndications where she now raises capital, manages assets, and helps others enter the world of passive investing. She's also passionate about educating women in real estate and runs local investor meetups to foster community and mentorship.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Cindy transitioned from hands-on property management to passive multifamily investing after experiencing the stress of managing single-family rentals. She began investing as an LP and quickly became a GP by bringing in capital and leveraging her network. Multifamily syndications offered her better returns and fewer headaches than her actively managed single-family portfolio. She encourages other agents and non-investors to explore passive investing through syndications. Mastermind communities played a major role in accelerating her education and confidence as an investor.     Topics From Realtor to Real Estate Investor Cindy's journey started after serving in the Air Force and discovering real estate through answering phones at a brokerage. Became a licensed agent, ran a brokerage, and eventually got inspired by an investor who built wealth one property at a time. Bought several single-family homes, including a short-term rental, before shifting her focus to multifamily. Why Multifamily and Syndications Made Sense Tired of managing repairs, maintenance calls, and vendors herself. Compared her modest cash flow from a condo with the stronger returns from a $25K LP investment in a syndication. Multifamily provided better returns, scalability, and less day-to-day involvement. How She Became a General Partner Joined a mastermind group and realized she could raise capital and contribute to larger deals. Currently an LP and GP in two multifamily properties totaling over 100 units. Enjoys the freedom and passive income that come with being part of a larger team. Tips for Passive Investors Vet the operator: make sure they've gone full-cycle and have a conservative track record. Ask the right questions: returns, loan structure, operator investment, and risk mitigation strategies. Analyze the market: consider economic drivers, employer base, and long-term potential. The Power of Masterminds and Community Joined multiple groups to learn, network, and grow faster. Finds value in sharing stories and learning from the mistakes and successes of others. Believes education, connection, and execution are keys to building wealth in real estate.

What if the key to transforming your team's performance wasn't hiding in another leadership book—but came straight from the lessons learned in the cockpit of a fighter jet?In this episode, I'm joined by Robert “Cujo” Teschner—former Air Force fighter pilot, leadership expert, and author of Debrief to Win. Cujo brings the heat (and the heart) in a conversation that challenges how we think about accountability, feedback, and real team growth.We dig into why debriefing—the military kind—isn't just a boring recap or a dreaded feedback session. It's a high-impact, deeply human leadership practice that creates clarity, builds trust, and drives performance. The best part? It's practical, repeatable, and doesn't take hours to implement. In fact, the average military debrief lasts just 18 minutes—and can boost performance by up to 25%.Cujo also shares how his journey from fighter pilot to leadership consultant (and cancer survivor) reshaped how he shows up—not just at work, but in life. His story is a powerful reminder that leadership isn't just about checklists or standards—it's about how we support the people around us when it matters most.Whether you lead a team, manage projects, or just want to give better feedback, this episode will leave you with a powerful framework and a fresh perspective on what great leadership looks like—under pressure and beyond.Let's keep the conversation going—connect with me on Instagram and LinkedIn, subscribe to my Sunday newsletter, or reach out at sara@leadintoitco. Excited to be back with you!

Emergency Prevention and Response Director Luke Watko joins host Dee Saini to talk about how S&T gathers and prioritizes first responders' technology needs and drives innovation to help them safely answer every call. You'll hear about tech that helps firefighters find their way out of complete darkness, another that allows colleagues to pinpoint their location to within a centimeter if they are in trouble, and how artificial intelligence and virtual reality can support agency operations. Watko also shares how his journey from an Arizona mining town to the Air Force landed him at S&T and how responders on the front lines during the pandemic influenced the trajectory of his career.

Today's Story: Tactical Edge Testing

Send us a textThe Pentagon is embroiled in a crisis of credibility as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth finds himself caught in a web of contradictions over information security practices. What began as a seemingly straightforward disciplinary action against alleged leakers has evolved into a revealing portrait of double standards at the highest levels of military leadership.When three senior Pentagon advisors—Dan Caldwell, Colin Carroll, and Darren Selnick—were unceremoniously escorted from the building and subsequently fired, they raised a troubling claim: they were never told what specific information they allegedly leaked, nor were they given any opportunity to defend themselves. "We have not been told what we're being investigated for," Caldwell stated bluntly in a follow-up interview, questioning whether a legitimate investigation ever took place.The situation took a dramatic turn when reports emerged that Secretary Hegseth himself had been sharing sensitive operational details about military strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen—not through secure government channels, but in Signal chat groups that included family members. This followed an earlier incident where Hegseth participated in another Signal group that accidentally included a journalist from The Atlantic. Security experts and congressional representatives have expressed alarm, with Rep. Jim Himes highlighting that "preparations for an attack... are to be classified top secret."This controversy strikes at fundamental questions about accountability and equal application of rules. While Hegseth publicly decried leakers and anonymous sources as "hoaxsters," his own information-sharing practices appear to violate the very standards he's enforcing among his staff. Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican and retired Air Force general, described Hegseth's actions as "amateur hour," noting that "Russia and China are all over his phone and for him to be putting secret stuff on his phone is not right."What makes this pattern particularly concerning is how it mirrors broader issues of due process throughout government enforcement. As similar stories emerge from immigration enforcement and other sectors, we're confronted with critical questions about the consistent application of rules and the protections afforded to those accused of wrongdoing.Has our rush to address perceived security threats led us to abandon core principles of fairness? Does the digital age require new frameworks for handling sensitive information?

Gen. (Ret.) Anthony '76 and Priscilla Pzybyslawski. She spent her childhood counting the number of states she lived in as a military brat. While at the Academy, she loved living in Cadet Squadron 19 and eventually led the Wolverines as Squadron Commander to Outstanding Squadron of the Year. Upon graduation, Emma was commissioned as a special operations intelligence officer and spent her Air Force career either overseas supporting counterdrug efforts or counterterrorism operations in the Middle East; she was awarded a Bronze Star during her last deployment for her combat efforts in Iraq. She decided to separate from the Air Force in 2016 and started her civilian career in the high-tech industry. Emma has since founded Strike Solutions, a defense company focused on bringing advanced technology solutions to various DoD operational mission sets. In her free time, she has a passion for traveling, food, spending time with family and friends, and sports – but all of those things are best enjoyed with her husband and Air Force pilot Chris Spach and their Bernese Mountain Dogs, Gunner and Harley.   CONNECT WITH EMMA LINKEDIN  |  STRIKE SOLUTIONS     ALL PAST LBL EPISODES  |  ALL LBLPN PRODUCTIONS AVAILABLE ON ALL MAJOR PODCAST PLATFORMS     TRANSCRIPT OUR SPEAKERS GUEST:  Emma Przybyslawski '10  |  HOST:  Lt.

Greg thought he was just going on a spooky late-night adventure with friends to an abandoned school in rural Tennessee—burnt feathers, pentagrams, and all. But something far darker tagged along for the ride. What started as a casual ghost hunt with his Air Force buddy turned into a horrifying encounter weeks later… when his old-school flip phone somehow made a call through its locked keyguard. The number? 666. The feeling? Like being mugged by a demon with anxiety issues. Did something follow him from that cursed school? Was it trying to make contact, or calling collect?

Send us a textToday's Ones Ready Daily Drop is packed tighter than the Pentagon's missing budget. Jared breaks down how the DoD is basically playing Jenga with defense funding, while the Air Force quietly raids the Boneyard for junkyard F-16s to prop up Ukraine's air force. Meanwhile, the Space Force is out here casually “dogfighting” Chinese satellites in orbit and looking for AI to figure out where their satellites even are.Oh, and we've got a guy in a literal jetpack doing an untethered spacewalk (because apparently the 80s were WILD), the Army making a Space Ops MOS (because soldiers apparently needed another badge), and the Pentagon's latest brainstorm: drone-killing tech that's safe for civilians. Sure, buddy.Also: Israel's airport just got smoked by a Houthi missile despite US and Israeli missile defenses. And Russia? Yeah, Russia's dusting off its NATO war plans. Totally chill.

Matt Walker MA, is a dedicated men's psychologist and international mountain guide based in Washington, USA. With a mission to help men navigate mid-life challenges, Matt empowers his clients to define success, align their values with actions, and live unapologetically. Through 1:1 coaching, group programs, immersive retreats, and transformative climbing expeditions, Matt creates opportunities for growth, adventure, and community. His work is rooted in fostering clarity, boldness, and a life lived in alignment with personal values. Matt lives in a mountain town in Washington State with his two children and balances parenting with a full workload which includes coaching individual and groups, leading climbing expeditions both professionally and personally Matt Walker Vroom Vroom Veer Show Summary Matt's Balancing Act and Life Shifts Matt discusses his work as both a mountain guide and a psychologist, supporting men through major life transitions. He is excited about the balance in his calendar between traditional coaching and field work in the mountains. Matt mentions he has a new book coming out after a 10-year publishing hiatus. He also reflects on how his values and priorities have shifted with age, emphasizing the importance of embracing these changes rather than judging oneself based on past expectations. Skepticism and the Shaping of Belief Matt and Jeffery discuss their approaches to knowledge and belief. Jeffery describes himself as highly skeptical, avoiding absolute certainty and viewing most things on a spectrum of probability. Matt agrees with this perspective, sharing an example from a memoir that acknowledged multiple viewpoints of the same experience. They discuss the unreliability of memory and the impact of mentors and teachers in shaping their worldviews. Matt reflects on how early influences expanded his understanding of career possibilities beyond his suburban upbringing. Mountain Climbing and Post-Military Life Matt shares his experience of moving from Northern New Jersey to Washington State after high school, motivated by his desire to be in the mountains following an Outward Bound course. He became involved in the climbing community, joining a group of experienced climbers and participating in significant expeditions. Matt later pursued a degree in philosophy but ultimately worked as a full-time mountain guide, leading international expeditions including the Seven Summits. Jeffery, in contrast, completed a bachelor's degree in psychology using his GI Bill after retiring from the Air Force, but chose not to pursue a career in that field. Matt's Approach to Existential Crises Matt discusses his approach to helping clients who are experiencing existential crises. He explains that he combines his background in psychology with outdoor experiences, particularly mountain climbing, to create a more effective therapeutic environment. Matt emphasizes the importance of having a guide during these experiences, comparing it to psychedelic journeys with proper set and setting. He notes that the most powerful moments for clarity and transformation occur during the descent from a summit, before transitioning back to everyday life. Matt sees his role as a supportive guide rather than actively doing the work for his clients. Challenging Experiences and Personal Growth Matt and Jeffery discuss the transformative power of challenging experiences, particularly in the context of personal growth and self-awareness. They explore how these experiences can lead to clarity, alignment between values and actions, and a sense of awakening. Jeffery shares his recent experience with a meditation app called "Way App," which he finds more effective than typical meditation apps due to its foundation in authentic Zen practices. They both agree that consistent, thoughtful practice can lead to gradual but meaningful increases in awareness and personal growth.

This episode's a rollercoaster through military bureaucracy, geopolitical chaos, and some straight-up “wait… what?” moments.We're talking about 8,000 troops at the southern border, the Air Force testing robo-wingmen, Japan mad about a B-1 bomber blocking their runway, and Guam getting overrun by 25,000 stray dogs (no, seriously). Also, shoutout to the Air Force for helping control said dogs… because readiness, I guess?Throw in canceled Iran nuclear talks, a new missile shield with a suspiciously biblical name (“Golden Dome”), and a nominee for Undersecretary getting roasted for telling the truth—and you've got an episode that proves the Pentagon never sleeps… but maybe should.

RFK Jr. has recently confirmed the use of chemtrails over America. But Sara's guest Kristen Meghan, an Air Force whistleblower and exposure scientist, has made claims about a secret government chemtrail program for over a decade. Who's covering it up and why?    President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with ABC News and completely destroyed their immigration narrative.    Today's Sponsors:   Relief Factor: Get their three-week QuickStart for only $19.95.
