CannCon and Ashe in America take apart a Deseret News profile that positions Steven Richer, the former Maricopa County recorder behind the infamous "Drawer 3" ballot scandal, as the trusted Republican voice on why California's elections are secure. They walk through his claims about audits, fraud detection, and mail-in deadlines, pointing out that the very system he defends prioritizes ballot access over ballot accuracy. A philosophy clip on the structural impossibility of proving election fraud sparks a deeper conversation about why the design of the system, not any single data point, is the real evidence of intent. The bulk of the episode is dedicated to a detailed reaction to an interview with Nathan Taylor, cofounder of the Election Truth Alliance, where CannCon and Ashe scrutinize his heat map methodology comparing US elections to Russian vote-rigging patterns, question his claimed cybersecurity credentials, and point out that the interviewer never asked a single hard question. They close by noting that despite years of public invitations, groups like ETA still refuse to appear on the show, a pattern they argue reveals selective, partisan motives rather than genuine election truth seeking.
There's a version of success that looks great on a highlight reel and completely hollows you out from the inside. I've seen it. I've felt it. And in this episode, I sat down with a man who lived it hard, nearly paid for it with his life, and came out the other side with a completely different playbook. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I get to rock the mic with Cameron Herold, one of the most legendary operators in the entrepreneurial world. Cameron is the founder of the COO Alliance and the man known globally as the CEO Whisperer. He's the former COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK, where he helped engineer the company's growth from 2 million dollars to 106 million dollars in revenue in just six years. He's a six-time bestselling author, an international speaker, and a guy who's been to 80 countries across all seven continents with his wife, living out their bucket list in real time. Cameron is the real deal, and this conversation goes deep. If you're a CEO, founder, or entrepreneur who's ever felt like you're the bottleneck in your own business, this episode is for you. If you've been grinding yourself into the ground and wondering why the life you're building doesn't feel as good as it looks from the outside, this one's for you too. Cameron doesn't sugarcoat a thing. He shares his burnout story with raw honesty, walks through the systems that have helped hundreds of companies scale with soul, and drops frameworks that you can use right now to grow your people, protect your time, and build a company that actually supports the life you want. One of the biggest things Cameron and I dig into is the COO relationship and why getting it wrong can absolutely derail your company. He breaks it down like a marriage. You have to understand yourself first, know what you're great at, know what drains you, and then find someone who fills in the gaps without trying to compete with your strengths. The COO is meant to be the brakes to your gas, not the parking brake. They're the leash on the dragon, not the choke chain. And finding that person starts with clarity about who you are and what you're actually building. That leads directly into Cameron's concept called the Vivid Vision, and this one is a game changer. Most entrepreneurs think they have a vision. Cameron would tell you most of them have a sentence, not a vision. A true Vivid Vision is a four or five page document that describes every area of your company, your culture, your team, your sales, your operations, as if it's already come true three years from now. It's not about the how. It's about painting the picture so clearly that your entire leadership team can reverse engineer the path to get there. Think of it like building a home. You know what you want it to look like. You describe it in enough detail. The right people build it for you. Cameron also goes hard on why most companies are starving their people of real leadership training, and what that actually costs you. Not conference trips. Not SOPs. Real skills. Interviewing, hiring, running meetings, managing conflict, coaching your team, goal setting. These are the core executive skills that almost nobody ever gets formally trained in, and it's why so many smart people in business are struggling with things that should be simple. As Cameron puts it, business is really easy if you have the core skills to get results through people. If you don't, it's a grind that never ends. And then there's the stuff that got personal. Cameron was 35 years old when his body and mind were clinically redlining. He was drinking daily, smoking, carrying extra weight, buried under a crushing amount of life stress, and he had no idea how bad it was until a doctor put a number on it. He scored 435 points on a stress assessment where 250 meant a 95 percent chance of a heart attack. He was written up in the Wall Street Journal as one of four entrepreneurs whose careers flamed out from burnout. He walked out the other side of that with a hard reset, no alcohol for three years now, daily weigh-ins, consistent movement, and a bucket list lifestyle that he and his wife have been living for five years straight. The lesson? The lie of just catching up this weekend is not about catching up. It's about avoiding your life. If you're ready to build a real second in command, stop running terrible meetings, train your people like you mean it, and finally step into the freedom you actually started this thing for, go listen to the full episode right now at https://caryjack.com/podcastin/.

Matty Dalrymple talks with Kristen Tate about INTERIORITY: THE SECRET SAUCE OF GOOD FICTION, including how to calibrate the depth of interiority across multiple point-of-view characters; the difference between overt and subtle interiority, and why the "she thought" tag is usually unnecessary; how interiority functions as the glue that connects plot events and reveals character motivation; how to use it strategically in action scenes to control pacing; and how it shapes reader experience in unreliable narrator stories and mysteries.

The Baltic states are stalwart NATO members today, but their membership was not assured from the moment they restored their independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union. They fought to overcome the reticence of other allies, then proved themselves as devoted partners on battlefields in Afghanistan and Iraq. Today, this alliance is once again in question. What does it mean to the Baltic states, and what does the future hold? Ben Gardner-Gill chats with Dr. Andris Banka about his research and cautiously optimistic view about what comes next.Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

To what extent is leadership success contingent on specific industry expertise? Marcia Medrano began her career in buildings, not transit. Yet, her experience developing and guiding teams, budgets, and procurement projects is proof that people management is not bound by sector—as long as you're willing to make the most of the experts around you.In this episode of Master Builder, Riccardo and Shormila sit down with the Executive Vice President of Capital Projects at Metrolinx to explore what it takes to rise to leadership without pretending you're an expert in everything. Marcia traces her path from architecture and vertical infrastructure to transit delivery and the core lesson that's shaped her career: big infrastructure delivery is fundamentally about people—building trust, aligning teams, and getting things done. Marcia doesn't hesitate to push back against conventions and assumptions. Choosing to leverage her parallel expertise rather than be daunted by a new sector, she often asks, “Why not?” Over and over, she sees the question unlock progress in new and exciting approaches for the infrastructure industry.The three experts hold a candid discussion about impostor syndrome and women in leadership, the superiority of alliance projects, and the importance of transparency on all sides of a major programme. They call out the danger of blindly following rigid structures and the shifting of the status quo as the Canadian infrastructure industry dives into ever larger and more ambitious projects. Throughout it all, Marcia champions a new understanding of steering the ship, and all the assets that come along with “leading like a woman.”Key takeawaysThe relationship-building and human connection that underpin infrastructure delivery success;How transparency drives success, however varied a team's expertise and experience; Why incentivizing on-the-ground solutions and cooperation outweighs claims that stall progress at every turn;The importance of updated governance and project-wide empowerment on the owner side of collaborative contracts;What's poised to change for women in infrastructure leadership.Quote“Challenging our own biases of the things that we know and the things that we don't know is part of challenging the status quo.” - Marcia MedranoThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Navigating Major Programmes, Season 2 Episode 6 with Lawrence Rowland: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s2/23 Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.comFollow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Follow Marcia Medrano: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcia-medrano-34a2962a/

Australia has endured nearly a decade of weak productivity growth, and living standards are under pressure. In this episode, Gene Tunny and John Humphreys explore the common thread connecting several major economic debates: investment and incentives. They discuss Australia's productivity slump, the Federal Government's proposed capital gains tax changes, Brisbane's Olympics infrastructure plans, and the challenges facing the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Along the way, they explain why economists place so much emphasis on incentives and what current policy settings could mean for Australia's future prosperity. Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can email him via contact@economicsexplored.com. What You'll Learn from This Episode Why productivity growth is the ultimate driver of long-run living standards. How savings, investment and innovation contribute to economic prosperity. The economic arguments for taxing capital gains differently from labour income. Whether Brisbane's Olympic infrastructure spending is likely to address existing bottlenecks.

Your neighborhood pool may be short-staffed this summer — and the reason probably isn't what you think. Lauren Clarke sits down with Mark Overmann, Executive Director of the Alliance for International Exchange, to unpack the quiet crisis hitting seasonal businesses from the Jersey Shore to the Ozarks. The J1 Summer Work Travel program has been filling the gap in America's seasonal workforce for more than 50 years — but this summer, a State Department deprioritization order and a 6x slowdown in visa interview processing times have left up to 19,000 vetted, job-ready students stranded without an interview slot. Mark explains how a cultural exchange program became the backbone of seasonal staffing, why this is a policy and a capacity problem at the same time, what a bipartisan group of House members is doing about it, and what needs to change before summer 2027. Plus, Rob Taylor with the immigration news: Federal Court Kills Trump's $100K H-1B Fee, a new proposed rule raising the bar on EAD eligibility, and updated USCIS guidance on adjustment of status for dual-intent visa holders.

Dylan Livingston on Longevity Policy, Right to Try, and Scaling the Longevity Dividend Jason Wright interviews Dylan Livingston, founder of the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), about advancing longevity through policy rather than products. Livingston traces his interest from discovering Aubrey de Grey as a teen to COVID-era experiences with his grandfather, which renewed his focus and led him to launch A4LI in 2022 as a coalition of longevity biotech companies. He describes passing a California resolution prioritizing longevity and healthy aging, framing the goal as achieving a “longevity dividend” worth trillions through reduced healthcare costs and increased productivity, and argues therapeutics can democratize longevity more than intensive lifestyle protocols. They discuss Right to Try, its limits under terminal-only access and liability concerns, and A4LI's work expanding access in Montana and New Hampshire for Phase 1-safe therapies. Livingston highlights AI-driven acceleration in biotech, cellular reprogramming with Yamanaka factors, and previews A4LI's Georgetown DC summit featuring major companies, researchers, policymakers, and a Capitol Hill briefing on US-China biotech competition. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 01:05 Why Longevity Policy 02:17 Dylan Origin Story 05:39 Launching The Alliance 08:24 Sponsor Message 09:18 California Policy Playbook 10:49 Longevity Dividend Explained 12:39 Therapeutics As Equalizer 13:44 Moral Case For Healthspan 17:48 Right To Try Primer 21:17 Fixing Right To Try 22:23 Biotech Valley Of Death 25:22 AI And Medical Gatekeeping 26:01 AI Health Coach Teaser 26:35 Plan Aware Health Coaching 27:31 Longevity Goals And Motivation 29:38 AI Accelerating Biotech 32:10 Cell Reprogramming Breakthroughs 34:32 Aging As Root Cause Policy 37:10 Wellness Mindset And Agency 40:15 Prevention Limits And Lifelong Care 44:33 DC Summit Agenda Preview 46:24 Hill Briefing And Biotech Race 49:20 Wrap Up And Medical Disclaimer
The very beginning of Together Alliance's march against the right wing. This protest took place in central London in March 2026. I was located in the centre of Piccadilly near the Ritz hotel. The recording consists of chanting, drumming and many voices passing by as they made their way down Piccadilly towards Trafalgar Square. The rig I used to catch this recording was a pair of DPA 4060s into a Zoom H6 Essential. The mic configuration was spaced Omnis, approximately 20cm apart and set at a 45° angle. The only processing has been some compression at a 3:1 ratio and lifted by +10dB.Recorded in London by Ian Rattray.

In this episode, I explore the one thing I believe quietly blocks most men from reaching their potential - not a lack of ambition, but the refusal to confront what's beneath the surface. Using the alchemical principle of “as below, so above,” I talk about why growth requires periods of descent, discomfort, and honest self-examination. I break down the concept of Nigredo and how avoiding fear, pain, and difficult truths can lead to stagnation.

In this special roundtable episode of Restorative Works!, host Claire de Mezerville López brings together a powerful group of restorative justice practitioners, educators, and leaders to explore the creation and impact of the Restorative Rainbow Alliance's Facilitator Code of Conduct. Guests Ames Stenson and Rami El Gharib, co-founders of the Restorative Rainbow Alliance, join Lindsey Pointer and Kathleen McGoey, co-authors of The Little Book of Restorative Teaching Tools, to share the story behind this groundbreaking initiative. Together, they reflect on the urgent need for LGBTQ+ affirming practices within restorative justice, drawing from lived experiences, community dialogue, and the gaps that led to harm when identity and power were not fully considered in restorative conferences. The conversation explores how the Alliance's Code of Conduct, now adopted as a foundational document in Colorado, offers both guidance and a call to reflection for practitioners seeking to move beyond cis-heteronormative frameworks and toward truly inclusive, equitable practice. The group also highlights a collaborative effort to bring the code to life through an engaging, experiential learning activity: Inclusive Facilitation: Increasing LGBTQ+ Awareness in Restorative Justice. Designed as a companion tool, this resource supports practitioners in navigating discomfort, building empathy, and applying inclusive principles to real-life scenarios through dialogue, play, and reflection. Throughout the episode, listeners are invited into a rich and honest conversation about harm, accountability, identity, and growth. The guests emphasize the importance of curiosity, compassion, and the willingness to sit with complexity as essential elements of restorative practices, especially when working toward belonging for LGBTQ+ communities. This episode offers both inspiration and practical pathways for anyone committed to deepening fostering spaces where all identities are affirmed and valued. Tune in to learn from these wonderful guests, and we invite you to explore the Restorative Teaching Tool activity for the Facilitator Code of Conduct here.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Gentlemen, we're two weeks out from Father's Day and this Q&A hit me right in the chest. We've got Joe the Legend joining me today, a father of five who brings that earned wisdom — the kind that only comes from years of being in the trenches, making mistakes, and choosing to grow through them. This conversation is real, raw, and exactly what this community is built on. We tackle two questions from the Alliance today. The first one is about a 12-year-old daughter who's been lying and stealing from family members — and how to guide her toward accountability while keeping the relationship open and safe. The second one is something almost every dad I know battles: losing patience by the end of the day when the tank is completely empty. Joe drops some of the most honest perspective you'll hear anywhere on why kids lie and steal, what birth order has to do with it, and how a scarcity mindset can drive behaviors you'd never expect. And then he shares something that personally rocked me — that impatience isn't a discipline problem. It's a selfishness problem. That one landed hard, and I'll explain why. This is the kind of show that reminds you why we're here. Not to be perfect dads. But to be intentional ones who keep showing up, keep learning, and keep choosing our kids — even when we've got nothing left in the tank. Timeline Summary [1:01] Larry introduces the show and a special four-part June offer for new Dad Edge Alliance members [1:38] What's included: signed copy of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood, two courses, and a brand new PDF resource [3:39] Today's two topics: how to handle a child who is lying and stealing, and losing patience by end of day [4:00] Morgan (The Engineer) asks his question: his 12-year-old daughter is stealing from family members, often tied to jealousy [5:36] Joe shares that lying is almost always a defense mechanism and stealing is tied to either scarcity mindset or attention-seeking [6:55] Joe reflects on growing up without enough — and how that scarcity mindset made stealing feel necessary as a kid [8:10] Joe raises the birth order question: second borns can feel like second best, and attention imbalance can drive behavior [9:38] Joe's reframe: are you unintentionally reinforcing scarcity in your home, or creating uneven attention among your kids? [12:08] Larry tells the story of his son Mason getting caught shoplifting at age 11 — caught on video at a local store [15:28] Larry calls the store, finds out the owner is a retired cop, and decides not to protect Mason from the consequences [17:49] Larry takes Mason to face the store owner directly and tells his son: whatever this man asks you to do, you're going to do it [20:34] The 30-day consequence plan: daily chores, journaling gratitude and reflections, and a final trip to the police station [22:15] The Sonic parking lot conversation — where Mason finally broke down and told the truth about why he did it [23:37] Mason's real confession: he was afraid of losing another friend if he didn't go along with the theft [25:51] Calvin asks his question: how do you stay patient at the end of the day when you're completely drained? [27:40] Larry's answer: surrender before you walk in the room — pray and admit you can't do it alone [29:50] Joe's reframe on patience: it's listed as a fruit of the spirit in Galatians, and a lack of it is rooted in selfishness [31:18] Joe's inner monologue when he feels impatience rising — asking himself whether it's about him or about the person in front of him [34:29] Joe reflects on the relationship he has with his oldest son today, and why patience made it possible Five Key Takeaways Lying is almost always a defense mechanism — when your child lies, look first at what they're afraid of, not just what they did wrong. Stealing in kids is usually tied to either a scarcity mindset or an attention grab — ask yourself if you're unintentionally reinforcing either one in your home. When your kid does something wrong, connection has to come before correction — Mason's breakthrough happened in a Sonic parking lot, not in a punishment. Impatience isn't a willpower problem, it's a selfishness problem — if you're losing patience, something is encroaching on your agenda, and recognizing that shifts everything. You cannot white-knuckle sustainable patience on your own — whether through faith, community, or both, the fathers who show up consistently are the ones who know they need help.

It happens in Sonic parking lots, in honest conversations after long days, and in the moments when we finally stop trying to do it alone. Joe's story about his oldest son hit me differently today — knowing how far they've come, knowing there's no reason they should be close, and hearing him say that patience is what made the difference. That's the work, gentlemen. That's exactly the work. If today's conversation meant something to you, pass it to a dad who needs it, leave us a five-star review, and keep showing up for your family every single day. Go out and live legendary.
About this episode: Two health policy experts could not disagree more about the Affordable Care Act. Yet they're working together to tackle what they see as a root cause of unaffordability. In this episode: A 1954 change to federal tax code made employer-provided health benefits tax-free, incentivizing employers to cover workers' health insurance—but this policy is one explanation for high healthcare costs for Americans today. Guests: Michael F. Cannon, JM, MA, is the director of health policy studies at the Cato Institute. Elizabeth Fowler, PhD, JD, is a distinguished scholar in Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Host: Dr. Josh Sharfstein is distinguished professor of the practice in Health Policy and Management, a pediatrician, and former secretary of Maryland's Health Department.

Make a Logo on Fiverr Cloner Alliance Steps Up the UHD Pro 4K The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is a standalone video capture and recording box built for creators, gamers, and anyone who needs a simple way to record HDMI video without turning the setup into a complicated production rig. After looking at the previous Cloner Alliance Pro 4K model, this newer UHD Pro 4K brings some useful upgrades, including USB-C, microSD support, USB 3.0, and more flexible recording options. This is designed for pro video workflows, game capture, screenshots, camera recording, and even scheduled recording. It can capture in 4K, supports HDMI pass-through, and records to external storage including flash drives, microSD cards, and larger hard drives. What's in the Box? Inside the box, Cloner Alliance keeps things straightforward. You get the UHD Pro 4K unit, instruction materials, a remote control, HDMI cable, power adapter, and a USB-C to USB-A cable. A Welcome USB-C Upgrade One of the first noticeable changes is the move from micro USB to USB-C. That makes the UHD Pro 4K feel more modern and more useful in current creator setups. The device also includes USB 3.0 support, which matters when you are recording larger video files at higher bitrates. Ports and Controls On the top of the unit, you get physical controls for pause, snapshot, record, and stop. There are also audio inputs, including mic, aux, and line-in options. On the side, the unit includes microSD/TF card support, USB-C, and USB-A connectivity. On the back, you get the power button, 12V power input, HDMI input, and HDMI output for pass-through monitoring. Recording Options for Video Capture The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K can record in MP4 or TS file formats. Resolution options include 4K, 1080p, or auto mode. For many users, auto mode will probably be the easiest choice, but having manual resolution control is useful when you need to lock the output to a specific format. H.264 and H.265 Recording The UHD Pro 4K supports both H.264 AVC and H.265 HEVC recording. That gives users some flexibility depending on whether they want broader compatibility or more efficient compression. The video bitrate can go up to 50 Mbps, which is a nice option for higher-quality captures. Just remember that a higher bitrate also means larger files, and your storage device needs to be fast enough to keep up. Audio Settings Audio options include HDMI audio, mic input, and aux input. You can adjust mic volume, aux volume, and HDMI output volume. The audio bitrate can be set up to 320 Kbps for better sound quality. That said, this is not a multitrack audio recorder. If you combine audio sources into the unit, they are recorded together. For serious productions, it is still better to manage audio separately when possible. Storage: Flash Drive, microSD, or Hard Drive The UHD Pro 4K supports recording to multiple storage types. You can use microSD/TF cards, USB flash drives, and larger external hard drives. The device can also test writing speed, which is useful before recording at higher bitrates. File Size and Loop Recording Recording file size options include unlimited, 4GB, 16GB, or two-hour segments. This lets you decide how the device breaks up long recordings. There is also loop recording, which makes the UHD Pro 4K useful beyond gaming and creator content. You could use it with a camera for basic security-style recording, where older files are overwritten once storage fills up. HDMI Pass-Through and Latency One of the biggest questions with any video capture device is latency. The UHD Pro 4K includes HDMI pass-through so you can send video to a monitor while recording. Better Than the Previous Model Compared with the earlier Cloner Alliance Pro 4K, the latency on the UHD Pro 4K appears improved. The older model had more noticeable delay, while this new version feels closer to the 50 to 100 millisecond range during pass-through testing. That is still not zero latency. For casual gameplay, recording, screenshots, or camera capture, it may be fine. For competitive gaming, you may still want to put a splitter before the Cloner Alliance box and monitor directly from the source. On-Screen Menus and Remote Control The UHD Pro 4K includes a remote for navigating system settings, recording settings, audio settings, scheduling, playback, and storage options. Settings You Can Adjust The system menu includes time settings, time zone, HDMI output resolution, HDMI output scale, screensaver, language, factory reset, and firmware information. The recording menu lets you choose format, resolution, file size, codec, bitrate, audio bitrate, loop recording, and watermark options. Remote Control Experience The remote works without needing to be aimed perfectly at the unit, which is a plus. However, it can be a little touch-and-go at times, occasionally needing more than one button press. Scheduling and Standalone Recording A big advantage of the Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is that it does not always need a computer to record. You can connect your source, attach storage, and record directly from the unit. Scheduled Recording The device also includes scheduled recording options. That could be useful for capturing a camera feed, recording a recurring video source, or setting up a simple unattended recording station. Using the UHD Pro 4K With a Computer The UHD Pro 4K can also connect to a PC using the Cloner Alliance helper software. Once connected, you can preview the video feed, record to the computer, schedule recordings, choose capture devices, and configure folders for video and photo storage. Live Video and Virtual Camera Use The software also includes options for live broadcasting and virtual camera use. That means you can bring the Cloner Alliance feed into apps such as OBS, vMix, or other streaming software. The computer preview does introduce more latency than the HDMI pass-through monitor, so it is best used for setup, checking framing, or recording control — not as your main real-time display. Video Screenshots and Pro Video Uses The UHD Pro 4K is not just for recording full videos. The snapshot button makes it useful for grabbing video screenshots, especially from gameplay, cameras, or HDMI-based devices. Good for Creators and Reviewers For content creators, this can be a useful box to keep nearby. It can capture from a camera, record a gameplay feed, document a device's HDMI output, or act as a simple single-source recorder when you need something fast. Pros and Cons Pros The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is easy to set up, works as a standalone recorder, supports 4K capture, includes HDMI pass-through, offers USB-C and USB 3.0, supports higher bitrate recording, and works with the same Cloner Alliance software ecosystem. Cons There is still some latency, especially when using the computer preview. The remote can occasionally require extra button presses. Also, while the audio input options are useful, this is not a replacement for a dedicated multitrack audio workflow. Final Thoughts on the Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is a solid upgrade over the previous model. The move to USB-C, the addition of microSD support, better storage flexibility, and improved latency make it a more capable video capture device for creators, gamers, and anyone working with HDMI video. It is easy to set up, flexible enough for standalone recording or computer-based capture, and useful for everything from pro video workflows to video screenshots. If you need a simple HDMI video capture and recording box that can work without a full computer setup, the UHD Pro 4K is worth a look.

Jess Chan is the Founder and Executive Chair of Longplay Brands, a full-service retention and lifecycle marketing agency for DTC e-commerce brands. She is also the Founder and CEO of Backbone, an email strategy automation tool. As a former CMO of a multimillion-dollar DTC e-commerce company, Jess bootstrapped Longplay to seven figures in revenue within the first 18 months. She is a sought-after speaker, podcast guest, product developer, and consultant on topics like retention, lifecycle marketing, and progressive agency business modeling. Rachyl Neidecker is the CEO and Partner at Longplay Brands. She specializes in turning complex or broken business operations into scalable systems. Previously, Rachyl served as the COO and interim CEO of an eight-figure e-commerce brand, the Director of Operations at COO Alliance, and has consulted for companies with $10M–$100M+ in revenue. In this episode… E-commerce brands often chase stronger channels, faster tactics, or higher revenue goals without identifying whether the company's foundation can support the growth. When trust, profitability, and operations are misaligned, even strong marketing can amplify the wrong problems. So how can founders diagnose what's holding their business back? With expertise in lifecycle marketing and operational leadership, Jess Chan and Rachyl Neidecker point to a more disciplined way to scale. They recommend looking beyond surface metrics to identify root causes, such as brand inconsistency, product-market fit issues, over-discounting, weak customer education, bloated org structures, and hidden logistics costs. Instead of moving fast on foundational decisions, brands should slow down, inspect the full customer journey, build trust at every touchpoint, and optimize for profit and enterprise value — not just revenue. Sustainable growth comes from diagnosing the system before prescribing the tactic. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris sits down with Jess Chan and Rachyl Neidecker of Longplay Brands to discuss diagnosing e-commerce growth problems. They cover DTC brands' costly misdiagnoses, lifecycle metrics that reveal root causes, and the difference between scaling revenue, profit, and enterprise value.

On January 3, 2006, 56-year-old Yoshie Sato left her home in Yokosuka, Japan, and headed to work just as she had countless times before. However, she never arrived. What began as a violent robbery quickly became one of the most high-profile crimes involving a U.S. servicemember stationed overseas. The man responsible was William Oliver Reese, a 21-year-old sailor assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk. In this episode, Margot examines the life of Yoshie Sato, the investigation that led authorities to her killer, the courtroom battle that followed, and the lasting impact one senseless act of violence had on a grieving family and two allied nations. ⸻
In this episode of the Man Talk Show, I am joined by the legendary author David Deida to explore his profound new book, The Man of Zero. We dive deep into the concept of "zero"—a unique phase of emptiness, purposelessness, and outgrowing standard adulthood that many successful men eventually encounter.Together, we unpack how to view depression as a powerful gateway, navigate relationship dynamics with strong partners, and shift from a life driven by constant doing into the effortless strength of pure presence. Whether you are currently feeling completely unmotivated or are looking to cultivate a deeper devotional polarity in your intimacy, this conversation offers a paradigm-shifting roadmap for the modern man.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00:08 - Introduction to David Deida and The Man of Zero00:02:32 - Defining the "Zero" Phase of Emptiness and Purposelessness00:06:57 - Exploring Depression as a Gateway00:11:12 - The Power of Pure Being and Universal Alignment00:14:40 - The Three Phases of Masculinity: Basic Man, Superior Man, and the Man of Zero00:23:10 - Connecting with Universal Awareness in Ourselves and Others00:30:34 - Shifting From the Experience of Numbness to the Space of the Perceiver00:36:40 - Navigating Relationship Conflict and the Clinging to Peace00:43:56 - Cultivating Sexual Attraction and Devotional Polarity from Zero00:51:38 - Processing Inherited Patterns of Shame and Guilt00:57:00 - Finding Freedom and Deep Presence with Strong Partners01:02:29 - Closing Thoughts and Where to Find Free Resources***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Josh opens the show by breaking down Israel's latest strikes against Iran, what they mean for the region, and how the United States should respond moving forward. He examines the growing tensions surrounding the conflict, the potential for disagreements between the U.S. and Israel, and why he believes the current approach falls short of what is needed to address the Iranian threat. Josh also explains why he opposed the ceasefire backed by President Trump, arguing that a more decisive conclusion was necessary rather than pausing the conflict before its objectives were fully achieved. Later, Josh turns his attention to the ongoing election chaos in California, questioning why voters are still waiting for results in major races, including the Los Angeles mayoral contest and the governor's race. He outlines what he sees as the biggest problems with the state's election system and shares his key principles for restoring confidence and integrity in American elections.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The US-Iran-Israel war is reshaping the Middle East in real time — and most people have no idea what's actually happening. Jillian Michaels sits down with military historian and geopolitical strategist Victor Davis Hanson for an unfiltered breakdown of the crisis. Iran is threatening the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices are spiking. Hezbollah is escalating. And Donald Trump is under fire from Congress, the media, and fractures inside his own coalition. The window to prevent a wider regional war is closing fast. Is Iran capable of backing down — or is regime collapse inevitable? Has Trump strengthened or undermined American deterrence? And are we watching the beginning of World War 3 — or the final chapter of the Iranian regime? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down: Trump's Iran strategy — is it working? Iran's nuclear program and the enrichment red line Why Gulf States are quietly aligning with Israel The Israel-Hezbollah escalation timeline The conservative foreign policy civil war — Tucker vs. the hawks China and Russia's role in the crisis Campus radicalization and the mainstreaming of anti-Semitism Whether America can avoid another endless war This isn't punditry. This is the history, the military calculus, and the geopolitical architecture that will define the next decade. #VictorDavisHanson #IranWar #Trump #IsraelIran #MiddleEast #WorldWar3 #IranNuclear #Hezbollah #Netanyahu #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #Trump2026 #OilPrices #China #Russia #TuckerCarlson #MegynKelly #AntiSemitism #Israel #MilitaryHistory CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 02:45 War Powers Act Showdown 04:50 Iran's Economy in Freefall 07:45 How Modern Warfare Actually Works 11:11 Will the Iranian Regime Survive? 15:55 The Trump-Netanyahu Leaked Call 19:45 Drone Warfare Is Rewriting the Rules 22:20 Gulf States Quietly Pick a Side 26:00 Europe's Deterrence Is Already Dead 29:00 Anti-Semitism's New Home 33:15 China and Russia: Opportunity or Alliance? 42:50 The Right Is Fracturing on Foreign Policy 50:15 How the Middle East Captured American Academia 54:40 The Progressive Media Bubble 59:21 What "Neocon" Actually Means 01:03:40 The Human Rights Hypocrisy Nobody Talks About 01:07:35 Why Trump's Political Comeback Is Bulletproof Learn more about your ad choices.
