In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño sat down with Sam Dickson—attorney, lifelong White advocate, and longtime American Renaissance speaker—for a provocative discussion on the collapse of the American Republic and the hard work of building what comes next.We break down why America's experiment in individualism failed, how the ruling class severed the nation from its European roots, and why today's population looks more like a biomass than a real people. Dickson draws lessons from Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, weighs the genetic and cultural costs of the Civil War and mass immigration, and explains why both capitalism and communism dissolve community. Most importantly, we explore what a post-American nation would require: cohesion, continuity, and leadership by a worthy elite.Follow Sam Dickson's work: https://www.amren.com/author/sam-dickson/Are you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

José Niño sat down with Jordan B for a blunt autopsy of the American Right and why the Republican establishment keeps turning outrage into obedience, and how the base is nudged from righteous anger back into “vote GOP or else” every single cycle.They start with the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination and the flood of instant fundraising—texts, emails, and moral blackmail—to channel shock into straight-ticket voting. From there, we dissect how MAGA's energy was domesticated, producing headlines instead of deliverables, and why “owning the libs” became a sedative that keeps the Right compliant.Follow Jordan B's work:Twitter: https://x.com/JordanBVide0sYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JordanBVideos/videosAre you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

We continue our lease accounting podcast miniseries with an episode focused on embedded leases. Some arrangements to provide services or purchase inventory rely on the use of a specific asset to fulfill the contract. Even if the word “lease” doesn't appear, the rights conveyed to the customer may still meet the definition of a lease—shifting the transaction from simply purchasing services or goods to leasing an asset. We explain why identifying an embedded lease is critical and how it can significantly impact the accounting and financial reporting for both customers and suppliers.In this episode, we discuss:1:40 – An overview of embedded leases and common arrangements6:50 – Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease24:07 – Allocating contract consideration to lease and nonlease components34:19 – Available practical expedients39:01 – Accounting and reporting implicationsFor more information, see chapter 2 of our Leases guide and chapter 4 and 5 of our Revenue from contracts with customers guide.

Ron Unz joins José Niño for a deep dive into the forgotten history behind America's anti-Communist crusade. Far from being a mindless witch hunt, Unz argues that McCarthyism was a chaotic but justified reaction to earlier left-wing purges—many led by Jewish activists and institutions—during the Roosevelt era.Unz explains how McCarthy's rise was driven by ethnic resentment, particularly among Irish-Catholics, and how Jewish involvement in both Communism and anti-Communism has shaped the historical narrative we've inherited. Unz challenges sanitized accounts of the Red Scare and exposes the power dynamics that still define elite discourse today.Follow Ron Unz' work here:Article: https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-mccarthyism-part-iii-the-jewish-angle/ Website: https://www.unz.com/X/Twitter: https://x.com/UnzReview Are you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

Latin American affairs commentator Antonio Miranda believes most Americans don't get Hispanic voters. In this wide-ranging conversation, Miranda and Niño dismantle the lazy narratives pushed by both Left and Right about “Hispanic” voters. Miranda explains why the term itself is a Cold War-era relic that pigeonholes dozens of cultures, national histories, and identities into one meaningless label.We also explore the political diversity within America's so-called “Hispanic” population, and why assumptions about their voting behavior often miss the mark entirely.Tune in for a thought-provoking episode about one of America's largest minority groups.

Are you still chasing a “low overhead” badge of honor? Gregg Indictor, Director at Your Part-Time Controller, confronts one of the nonprofit sector's most persistent misinterpretations: the overhead myth. With cohosts Julia Patrick and Meico Marquette Whitlock, the conversation unpacks what "overhead" actually represents, why it's often misunderstood, and how nonprofits can more accurately reflect their financial stewardship.Gregg begins by demystifying overhead as merely the administrative costs necessary to support any organization's operations—nonprofit or for-profit, saying, “There is no correct overhead ratio for any organization,” noting that effectiveness should be measured by mission impact, not accounting percentages.This fast episode fully explores cost allocation, the process of categorizing and reporting expenses across functions—such as program services, management, and fundraising. Gregg walks through the Schedule of Functional Expenses found in audits and IRS Form 990, and explains how misallocating indirect costs can produce distorted financial portraits. His emphasis on methodology—such as time and effort tracking for personnel, or square footage for facility expenses—underscores the importance of reasonable and consistent cost assignment.Gregg highlights a powerful metric: for most nonprofits, 80–85% of expenses stem from personnel and facilities. Yet not all of those costs are necessarily “overhead”—they could very well contribute directly to mission delivery, depending on how they are allocated.One of the key moments involves Gregg's perspective on restricted vs. unrestricted funds. He cautions against well-meaning development practices that inadvertently solicit restricted gifts, reducing an organization's flexibility to cover essential functions. A simple shift in donor language—from “choose your program” to “support our mission”—can dramatically improve financial resilience.As the trio discuss transparency and internal communication, Gregg advocates for cross-departmental access to financial information, encouraging organizations to present timely reports not just to leadership, but also to program and fundraising teams. This transparency supports better decision-making and breaks down operational silos.00:00:00 Welcome and guest introduction 00:03:08 What is nonprofit overhead and why it matters 00:05:29 The problem with restricted funding 00:07:36 Understanding cost allocation 00:11:02 How overhead ratios are calculated 00:13:44 80–85% of expenses: what that really means 00:16:21 Allocating costs accurately and fairly 00:18:38 Why everyone in a nonprofit should understand finance 00:20:17 Internal transparency and financial reporting 00:22:06 Overhead myths vs. operational reality 00:24:20 Contributed vs. earned revenue 00:27:02 Changing the donor messaging to support sustainabilityFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Has foreign policy realism made a comeback?Mark Weber returns to the show to discuss the resurgence of realism in international affairs. While the foreign policy establishment often pushes utopian visions of spreading democracy (neoconservatism), global market integration (neoliberalism), or international institutions and “rules-based orders” (liberalism), realism offers a stark contrast. Realism sees the world for what it is — a competitive arena where power, security, and national interest drive events, not ideological fixations.Don't miss this insightful conversation.

Did you hear about the guy who owned last year's top-performing funds? Yeah, it's too bad he bought them this year, though.There's a lot of evidence to suggest that buying and holding index funds will pay off in the long run. Benji Bailey joins us today to make the case with some impressive numbers.Benji Bailey is Vice President of Investments and Senior Fixed Income Manager at Praxis Mutual Funds, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.The Importance of Indexes in InvestingTo understand index funds, we can view them like guideposts in a national park. Just as signs direct visitors to scenic views and help them stay on the right path, indexes serve as essential benchmarks for investors. These benchmarks, such as the S&P 500 for large-cap stocks or the Bloomberg Aggregate for bonds, allow investors to measure their progress toward financial goals.Without these guideposts, investors risk straying off course, possibly realizing too late that their portfolio has been heading in the wrong direction. Publicly available indexes provide a crucial check-in, ensuring investments align with long-term objectives.Many investors believe they can outperform the market by actively trading stocks. However, research suggests otherwise. A study published in The Journal of Finance found that individuals who frequently traded stocks underperformed compared to those who traded less.Over a six-year period:The market returned approximately 18% annually.Less active traders saw returns of around 16.4%.The most active traders only achieved 11.4%, underperforming by over 6%.This trend highlights the dangers of excessive trading. Warren Buffett summarized it well: “The stock market is designed to transfer money from the active to the patient.” The Bible echoes this wisdom in Proverbs 13:11: “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”Active vs. Passive Mutual FundsA key distinction in investing is the difference between active and passive mutual funds:Active funds: Managed by professionals who handpick a smaller set of stocks, hoping to outperform the market.Passive funds: Designed to mirror an index, holding a broad range of stocks for stable, long-term growth.According to Morningstar, over the past 15 years, only 9% of actively managed large-cap funds outperformed their passive counterparts—meaning 91% of active funds underperformed. This data suggests that passive investing can be a more reliable strategy for many investors.Aligning Investments with Faith ValuesMany faith-driven investors worry that traditional index funds may include companies whose values don't align with their beliefs. Praxis Mutual Funds addresses this concern by screening out companies involved in industries such as:AlcoholTobaccoGamblingAbortion-related businessesHowever, the more companies an investor removes from an index, the greater the potential for volatility in returns. For example, removing just one company from the S&P 500 would have little impact, but excluding half of the index's stocks would significantly increase volatility.Praxis Mutual Funds utilizes an optimized equity index strategy to balance faith-based values with financial performance. Instead of replicating an index, Praxis screens out objectionable companies and uses a software-driven approach to reallocate funds into a diversified mix that closely tracks the market's performance.This method allows faith-based investors to remain aligned with their values without sacrificing reasonable returns.The Role of Patience in InvestingMarket volatility can make investing an emotional challenge. Many investors instinctively buy when the market is high and sell when it's low—precisely the opposite of what leads to long-term success.Historical data shows that the S&P 500 has had an average annual return of around 10% over the past 97 years, but actual yearly returns rarely fall near that average. Investors who stay the course and focus on long-term gains are more likely to benefit from market growth.The Bible encourages this patient approach in Ecclesiastes 11:2: “Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.” Diversification and patience are essential principles for wise investing.Making a Positive Impact Through InvestingBeyond screening out specific companies, Praxis Mutual Funds takes an active role in making a positive impact through:Proxy voting: Ensuring shareholder influence aligns with faith values.Shareholder engagement: Advocating for ethical corporate practices.Community development investing: Allocating 1% of funds to microfinance and social impact projects.Faith-based investing is about more than avoiding harmful industries; it's also about using investment dollars to create meaningful, Christ-centered change in the world. Whether through index funds or faith-based investment strategies, the goal is to align financial decisions with biblical principles.As Proverbs 21:5 reminds us: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” A well-planned investment strategy, guided by faith and patience, can lead to lasting financial fruitfulness.For those interested in learning more about faith-based investing, Praxis Mutual Funds provides a wealth of information at PraxisInvests.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:As the executor of my deceased relative's estate, do I need to report my role to FinCEN, similar to reporting the controlling party of a company?I'm 85, and I draw Social Security.

Welcome to "Retreats with a Purpose: How to Make a Difference While Making a Profit," where we delve into the compelling ways retreat leaders can weave social responsibility into their business models. This episode is dedicated to those who see the potential for retreats to serve not just as gateways to personal growth but as platforms for meaningful societal contributions. Partnering with Non-Profits First up, we explore the strategic partnerships between retreats and non-profits. Learn how aligning with a cause that resonates with your retreat's theme can amplify the impact on both your attendees and the non-profit's goals. For instance, a mindfulness retreat could partner with a mental health organization to deepen the impact through combined efforts in wellness promotion. These partnerships not only enrich the retreat experience but also extend the reach and effectiveness of the non-profit's mission. We'll share success stories, like a retreat that included conservation efforts, enhancing participant engagement and helping the local environment. Implementing Scholarship Programs Next, we discuss the transformational power of scholarship programs. Offering scholarships makes retreats accessible to those who might otherwise miss out on such life-changing opportunities. We'll cover how to set up a scholarship fund, including eligibility criteria and funding strategies. Success stories from scholarship recipients will highlight the profound impact these opportunities can have on individuals and their communities, showcasing the ripple effect of generosity. Sourcing Locally and Ethically Our third segment focuses on the importance of local and ethical sourcing. This practice not only supports local economies but also ensures that retreats offer authentic and sustainable experiences. We'll talk about how to choose local vendors and ethical suppliers that align with your retreat's values, and share case studies that demonstrate the positive effects of these choices on both the retreat experience and local communities. Community Service Activities Integrating community service into retreat programs can profoundly enrich the retreat experience, turning a simple getaway into a deeply fulfilling journey. We'll explore different types of service activities that fit various retreat themes, such as environmental initiatives or educational programs. Feedback from both participants and local communities will highlight the mutual benefits of these integrations. Financial Donations Lastly, we'll tackle the role of financial donations in enhancing retreat appeal and impact. Allocating a portion of profits to charitable causes not only supports community projects but also positions your retreat as a socially responsible choice for potential attendees. We'll discuss effective strategies for marketing this aspect and share examples of how these donations have made lasting impacts. This episode is packed with insights from fellow retreat leaders who have successfully integrated these socially responsible practices into their operations, proving that it's possible to make a profit while making a difference.
