Sending FBI Director Kash Patel to Moscow right before the Midterms is like sending a coked-up frat boy into a whorehouse in hell, and the FSB will eat him alive. As Trump pushes the SAVE Act to disenfranchise millions, is he calling in Russian reinforcements to steal Congress?  Can we overcome a gutted Voting Rights Act, MAGA poll taxes, and Russian cyber warfare and disinformation brainrotting? Yes. By treating our vote as sacred and doing the unglamorous, powerful grassroots work that wins elections–and ensured Zohran Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo not once, but twice. We deserve nice things–but we must work for them. That's how progress gets made. Our heroes who came before us felt demoralized and tired, too. Andrea's new book, A Reasonable Guide for Unreasonable Women: 20 Steps to Find Your Purpose and Power in a World on Fire, shares some of their stories and insights. We can put an end to Trump and Putin's dreams of turning America into a Russian-style oligarchy by remembering our power.  On this week's show, we're joined by comedian and activist Pete Dominick of the Stand Up with Pete Dominick podcast. We break down the Epstein files, media intimidation, and the growing resistance to authoritarianism. In our bonus show, available exclusively for our Patreon and Substack supporters, we name names of who in the media enabled Trump's rise, and Pete shares what it was like trolling Trump to his face on The Apprentice.  We refuse to let them steal our future and our children's futures. Come discuss this and more at the Gaslit Nation Salon this Monday at 4pm ET. We could not produce this independent journalism or build this resilience community without you.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Primm, a St. Louis investor, entrepreneur, and best-selling author of Own Your Freedom. Sam made a serious jump from a W-2 corporate job into real estate, and he did not play small. Over the last 12 years he has closed more than 2,000 deals and built a rental portfolio worth around $50 million, all without using his own money. What I appreciated most about this conversation is how candid Sam was. He walked me through the early days of buying one rental at a time on the side, the moment he realized he could keep scaling with other people's money, and the systemized way he finally left his job rather than jumping in blind. We also got real about the last couple of years, where higher interest rates and a tougher market forced him to lean into personal development and grind through a genuine mental test. We spent a good chunk of time on mentorship and mindset, because that is where Sam and I are cut from the same cloth. He makes the case for why even the best in the world hire coaches, why poor people look at the cost of something while wealthy people look at the return, and why the fear of failure quietly guarantees that people never succeed. He is also refreshingly blunt about the guru problem in this space and what separates people actually doing deals from those just selling courses. Toward the end, Sam shares what he is focused on now: repositioning a portfolio that got a little too heavy in multifamily during the 2021 and 2022 run-up, and re-honing in on simple single family rentals, which he believes are the best starting point for 90% of newer investors. If you have been on the fence about getting a coach, scared of debt, or afraid to fail, this one will light a fire under you.   Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:00  Introduction and the three paydays philosophy 00:22  Meet Sam Primm: 2,000+ deals and a $50 million portfolio using none of his own money 01:51  Sam's path from an engineer's son to full-time investor 02:07  Reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and starting to invest on the side 04:12  The original goal of one rental a year for ten years 04:46  Seeing the power of scaling with other people's money and leaving the job 05:33  Whether Sam leaned on mentors and coaches early on 06:10  Merging with a local investor who taught him to build a real company 07:09  The mental game of going from solo operator to running a company 07:48  Why the last two or three years have been a mental grind 09:41  Why mentorship still matters at every stage 10:14  The Tom Brady example: the best in the world still hire coaches 10:55  Poor people look at cost, wealthy people look at return 11:46  A look inside the Apprentice program and In the Trenches Bootcamp 14:44  Context and perspective: a $10,000 dinner versus a $10,000 wealth tool 16:08  Sam's take on gurus who have never done a deal 17:08  Why coaches who stop doing deals lose touch with the market 18:47  What Sam is focused on today and repositioning the portfolio 19:38  The Branson hotel lesson and roughly $20,000 a month in losses 20:13  Why single family rentals are his calling card 22:24  Two closing nuggets: don't fear debt and expect failure 24:08  Why the first deal going sideways is the best thing that can happen   Quotables "Nobody creates wealth with their own money, or they're already wealthy."

Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is a professor of management and senior associate dean for leadership studies at the Yale School of Management. He is also the author, co-author, and editor of a number of books. His works include The Hero's Farewell: What Happens When CEOs Retire, Firing Back: How Great Leaders Rebound After Career Disasters, and, most recently, Trump's Ten Commandments: Strategic Lessons from the Trump Leadership Toolbox with Steven Tian. Greg and Jeff discuss why Jeff thinks leadership scholars and journalists misread Donald Trump. He argues the goal should be not to normalize or judge Trump but to understand Trump's predictable, strategic patterns—often mistaken as impulsive—so they can be countered, and he criticizes the labeling Trump as “stupid” or “crazy” for helping create widespread complacency.  Jeff recounts a contentious 30-year relationship with Donald Trump that began with his Wall Street Journal critiques of “The Apprentice,” and then continued through Trump's attempts to win him over (including with a position at Trump University), and Trump's use of tactics like divide-and-conquer, distraction, the “sleeper effect,” and “wall of sound.” The discussion contrasts personal power versus institutional success,and  stresses collective action as an effective counter. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The danger of underestimating your opponent 04:11: My take on this, in short, is the most dangerous element of American society, after perhaps Donald Trump and some of his acolytes, are many of his critics because his critics give us a false sense of confidence by, for over 10 years now, calling him stupid and calling him crazy. More recently, he's had a break with reality, a sudden cognitive decline with age, and chortling to themselves in their articles to one another like love letters in Atlantic Magazine or giggling on show after show on MS Now. It's about as dangerous, almost, as what Trump and his immediate followers are doing themselves because it's giving the American public, their viewers and readers, a false sense of security that this is a guy who is veering off the edge of the cliff and about to implode, that we don't need to worry. Don't mistake emotion for impulse 05:14: What Trump does sometimes comes with a lot of emotion-laden packaging, but these aren't impulsive, accidental decisions he's making. These are strategic, decisive, definitive moves that he's making, and that he has a whole arsenal of them. How to counter divide and conquer 50:18: How do you prepare for false information? Be ready to counter it very quickly and to make sure you're not divided by one another and all these other kinds of things. How do you counter false information? How do you avoid divide and conquer? You know, those are the lessons from the book rather than to follow these tactics.

People keep asking me about The Apprentice. And I get it.But a moment is not a mission.I am built from Frederick Douglass, James Baldwin, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, and Martin Luther King, Jr., men who didn't show up for cameras. Men who showed up because silence was not an option.People paid in blood for the right to speak. To waste that right would be a disgrace.That is the lineage I carry.That is the obligation I operate under.So when you find this channel, know what you're looking at.Not a contestant.Not a personality.Not a platform chasing relevance.A movement with a memory.Folkes Unfettered — Commentary That Cuts.

Aaron details the intensive safety training, helicoptertravel, harsh offshore conditions, complex U.S. logistics requiring open-water transfers, prototype equipment, multi-trade and multicultural teamwork, shift rotations, and the need for resilience, adaptability, and new procedures tocomplete first-of-its-kind work safely.Host Email: brianb@buildcs.net Host LinkedIn: Brian Brogen, PMP

This week on Epic Realms, Nick sits down with three-time Eisner Award nominated cartoonist, writer, and illustrator Chris Schweizer for a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, storytelling, and building a life around making comics. From his childhood in Louisiana and Kentucky to his years studying art, theater, and filmmaking, Chris reflects on the experiences that shaped his artistic voice and eventually led him into the world of graphic novels. Along the way, he shares stories about making homemade movies as a kid, discovering classic comic strips like Calvin and Hobbes and Pogo, and finding his place within the evolving comics industry. The discussion explores the craft behind visual storytelling, the unique language of comics, and the creative choices that separate newspaper strips, graphic novels, and superhero books. Chris also looks back on the creation of Crogan's Adventures, the project that helped launch his professional career, and discusses how his approach to writing and illustration has evolved over the years. The second half of the conversation focuses on The Outlaw's Apprentice, Chris's upcoming fantasy graphic novel launching on Kickstarter. Drawing inspiration from Appalachian culture, classic adventure fiction, and a lifelong love of immersive worldbuilding, the series follows a young apprentice and his unlikely mentor as they navigate a dangerous world while staying one step ahead of the law. Filled with insights on art, storytelling, history, comics, and creativity, this is a fascinating look inside the mind of one of the most distinctive voices working in graphic novels today.

On today's episode, the crew checks in with Dwayne live from a chocolate farm on Roatán, jokes about getting “stranded” on a cacao-covered island, and then pivots back to politics with an “Apprentice update” on whether J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio is now the inside favorite to be Trump's running mate based on their roles in the Iran memorandum of understanding. They unpack reports of internal turmoil within Iran's IRGC as Israel hammers Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, discuss SpaceX's “Starfall” demo for point‑to‑point orbital return capsules, and talk about using micro‑nuclear plants to power massive AI data centers while tiptoeing around anti‑nuke activists. Other topics include the collapse of Democratic fundraising after USAID money spigots were reportedly shut, the DNC's debt versus the RNC's cash pile, Tulsi Gabbard's exit and her parting shots tying Fauci and “the scarf lady” to gain‑of‑function work, and Bill Pulte's rumored role as a “weed whacker” for deep‑state employees inside the intelligence community. The conversation closes with a wide‑ranging critique of Sharia enclaves, Dearborn‑style local takeovers, the incompatibility of Islamic law with American women's rights, and the historical lesson of “cooping” in Edgar Allan Poe's day—used here as a metaphor for how modern voting changes in places like California dismantle hard‑won election safeguards. Don't miss it!

Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey are back with a merch-packed episode that starts at Target, swings through Walt Disney World, and lands deep in Mickey Mouse history. Lauren shares what she spotted on her latest Florida trip, from Muppets merch and Uncle Deadly deep cuts to Disney's colorful new Logo Mania collections. Then Jim looks back at Disney's repeated attempts to give Mickey Mouse a milestone birthday celebration big enough for the big screen, and why those plans often arrived late, changed shape, or became something else entirely. NEWS • Golden Girls returns to the bookstore with Death on the Lanai, the second mystery novel in Disney's sitcom-inspired series. • Target's Disney Fan Snacks line brings character-shaped chips to the aisle, including Darth Vader corn chips and Grogu-inspired flavors. • Toy Story 5 merch arrives early with Ginormous, a truly oversized plush pig that may require its own shopping cart. • Lauren checks out Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets merch, including Kermit keychains, Miss Piggy gear, and Animal-focused designs. • Walt Disney World's Logo Mania collections lean into color-coded Disney fan moments, from Last Day of Trip Blues to Popcorn on Main Street. FEATURE • Jim revisits how The Sorcerer's Apprentice began as a Mickey birthday short before growing into Fantasia. • Disney's planned Jack and the Beanstalk feature for Mickey's 15th birthday was derailed by World War II and eventually reshaped into Fun and Fancy Free. • Mickey's 60th birthday brought a star-studded NBC special and the temporary Magic Kingdom land that became surprisingly permanent. • The abandoned Search for Mickey Mouse would have sent Disney characters across the animated canon before evolving into Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers.

Stephen's latest musical, Goin' Hollywood, had its world premiere at WaterTower Theatre in Texas.His published books include That Book About That Girl, I Could Have Sung All Night, and MARY & ETHEL…and Mikey Who? which we talked about during Stephen's last appearance on this show.  His current theatrical memoir, Camelton, also doubles as his one-man show, which played to sold-out crowds in New York.I've read Camelton, and can tell you it's a terrifically entertaining account of Stephen's extraordinarily challenging time writing a musical celebration for the Emir of Qatar. His reminiscence captures all the crazy sturm und drang of creating a massive musical under commission in a foreign land.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles mark Donald Trump entering his ninth decade with a special episode revealing new details about private discussions inside Trump's circle over his age, health, legacy, and the future of his presidency, culminating in a striking prediction about what may lie ahead during the next two and a half years of the Trump era. On the eve of Trump turning 80, Wolff also traces the astonishing rise of a man who went from a Queens real-estate promoter to perhaps the most famous person on earth. Along the way, they unpack the pivotal moments that built the Trump myth: the excess of 1980s New York, The Art of the Deal, the bankruptcies that never seemed to matter, the reinvention of Trump through The Apprentice, and the presidential campaign that began as a branding exercise before transforming American politics. Drawing on Wolff's decades of reporting and personal encounters with Trump, including a revealing conversation in which Trump declared his goal was simply “to be the most famous man in the world,” the episode explores the relentless pursuit of attention that has defined his life.

Transmission incoming from the insane world of Ratner's Star, DeLillo's fourth novel, a major change in his fiction and his most difficult text, underappreciated as precedent for his later turns on encyclopedic form in Libra and Underworld. Ratner's also has, though, tons of connections to earlier works like Americana and End Zone. In this episode DDSWTNP celebrate Ratner's fiftieth anniversary with a wholly new re-reading of a book that remains for us hilarious, pleasurable, and a huge reading challenge. We consider how Ratner's Star, like any masterpiece, teaches us how to read its fabulations from its first page on. We examine its relentless juxtaposition of minds and bodies, as well as its dissection of the impulses toward pattern, order, and other “convenient fictions.” We ask what kinds of narrative experimentation with time and perspective DeLillo carries out, especially in the quest for an ultra-logical metalanguage in Part 2. We wonder about how science and math as fields of knowledge and uncertainty relate to DeLillo's later turns to examining history. We do our best to try to understand the relationships of DeLillo's “mohole” physics to Einstein's relativity, and we offer a reading of a Jesuit's interrogation of “red ant metaphysics” and “premature genuflection” that marks a new turn in DeLillo's satires of his Catholic education. We close by disagreeing with a 1976 panning review of the novel as a pale imitation of Pynchon. As we say in the episode, Ratner's fiftieth makes for a great transition into our Summer of Underworld – look for a string of episodes on that big novel from us in the next few months! Enjoy the Ratnerama rendition of our intro music, too. And the rats and the bats and the stars.

On this episode of Escaping the Drift, we sit down with Dr. Robb Kelly: former Abbey Road session musician, PhD in psychology from Oxford, and the man often called the Gordon Ramsay of the addiction world.Before becoming one of the most sought after addiction specialists in the country, Robb played bass alongside Bowie, Queen, and Elton John, then watched it all disappear into a two bottle a day vodka habit that cost him his children, his homes, and twice cost him his life on the streets of Manchester.In this episode, Robb opens up about the rain soaked night that changed everything, the stranger named Derek who appeared 30 seconds after a desperate prayer, and the mentor named John who taught him the framework he still uses to heal patients today.We dive into why alcoholics are born and addicts are made, the three parts of the brain that operate differently in true alcoholism, and why he believes depression, PTSD, and addiction can be cured rather than just managed. He also breaks down the phone and dopamine epidemic destroying connection in homes everywhere and how to claw it back with simple boundaries.If you have ever felt like the world has written your story for you, this conversation will rewrite the page.

A teenager hurtles from the balcony of a luxury apartment complex into the Thames. That unexplained death animates the newest book from one of America's great nonfiction writers, Patrick Radden Keefe. Patrick joins Harry to unspool the story's web of shady characters, complacent police, and desperate parents. The two delve into the transformation of London into a playground for the extremely and unscrupulously wealthy—like Russian oligarchs—that made the fatal fall possible and draw out the way Trump is overseeing a similar shift in the United States. And Harry digs into Patrick's approach to writing, including how his law degree informs his precise, almost prosecutorial reporting.

What does it actually take to become a good powerline apprentice in 2026, and why are so many young apprentices feeling behind before they've even really started?Ryan sits down with Shayla Gaffney, a final-year powerline apprentice and content creator, sharing a more honest look at what apprenticeship actually feels like for the next generation entering the trade. From line school and storm work to learning under pressure and finding the right crew, Shayla speaks openly about the reality of becoming good at something that takes years to master.They dig into why apprentices can't rush the process, the pressure of constantly feeling behind, the importance of crew culture and mentorship, and how the right foreman can completely change an apprentice's confidence and future in the trade. Shayla also shares lessons from storm work, learning by watching experienced linemen, and why good apprentices focus less on chasing the title and more on earning trust over time.Topics covered:Why so many apprentices feel behind in today's trade cultureThe reality of learning under pressure on a crewWhy becoming good at line work takes years, not monthsThe difference the right crew and foreman can makeLearning by watching experienced linemen workWhy rushing the process hurts more than it helpsThe mental side of apprenticeship nobody talks aboutStorm work, confidence, embarrassment, and growthCrew culture, mentorship, and earning trust over timeWhat young apprentices actually need to hear entering the trade✌️SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE ✌️

20 years ago, automation was a pipe dream for industrial workers, 10 years ago it existed in research and development labs. Now it's fully operational in warehouses, production facilities and even mines.The companies driving robotics forwards are going one step further than developing smarter AI. They're figuring out how to apply that advanced engineering to ‘gritty' manufacturing – and there are few places that understand that world better than the Steel City.Pittsburgh has become an important ecosystem for developing autonomous technologies, the combination of engineering talent and thriving industrial background has turned it into somewhat of a testing ground for physical AI.Recorded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this was a special live show in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Robotics Network. Chris is joined by three industry leaders to talk about adopting autonomy in critical industries. Brett Phillips is Chief Revenue Officer and General Council at Hellbender, specializing in on-edge AI hardware development. David Griffin is Chief Sales Officer at Seegrid, manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots. Mike Smocer is CEO of Mine Vision Systems, a mining technology company building real-time digital mapping systems for GPS denied environments.They dig into how autonomy is moving beyond one-off projects, and into fully integrated systems. Brett breaks down how the incorporation of sensors and models are shrinking development timelines for autonomous systems and why Pittsburgh's willingness to ‘get their hands dirty' is key. David explains how advances in perception and control systems have pushed AMRs beyond basic pallet moves into large, complex material moves through busy logistics environments. Mike shares how Mine Vision Systems support vital underground decision making with millions of dollars of impact by replacing manual mapping and tribal knowledge with accurate digital records.For anyone considering where robotics and AI can create value inside their operations, thinking about the intersection between advanced software and manufacturing, or curious why Pittsburgh has become so strong in robotics and autonomy, this episode is a look at how three industry leaders are managing that change today.In this episode, find out: • About the technological advances that shifted autonomy from isolated deployments to a broader ecosystem covering manufacturing, logistics, mining and warehouse operations.• How David explains the evolution of AMRs within lifting, going from limited pallet moves to an all-in-one technology capable of moving any material to any location.• Why mid-tier manufacturers are becoming a major driver of autonomy adoption due to labor constraints and the positive impact of this in regional production environments.• What mining looks like without the implementation of automated systems, Mike discusses highly intelligent operators still using coloured pencils and paper to capture critical underground data.• Mining as a tunnel building process with the constant balance of optimizing extraction with breakage vs. how much time and cost is spent processing the material caused by that breakage.• How Hellbender utilizes their expertise and capability to provide an end-to-end service inhouse, getting their customers to market in a matter of months rather than years.• The role of sensors, on-edge AI, and manufacturing capability in accelerating the production of perception systems that serve as the eyes and ears of the autonomy stack.• What the conversation reveals about Pittsburgh's current position as a robotics hub where engineering talent, institutional history and manufacturing culture are allowing them to go head-to-head with the likes of Silicon Valley.Enjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes: • “At the end of the day, we are a software company. The hardware component of our product is essentially a near commodity at this point. It's the navigation systems, the safety systems, the perception systems, the control systems.” – David Griffin • ”There is a transformation involved. There's change management involved. There are workflows that if you disrupt them just because your cool technology solved one little problem, broke 12... There's an approach to developing your technology so that it succeeds not only now, but in the future.” – Mike Smocer• “What's gonna separate us moving forward is the ability to sort of mash this really high-level, very technical engineering with real-world manufacturing. That is where, uniquely, Pittsburgh stands alone.” – Brett Phillips Do you want to connect with other leaders that are moving the needle in manufacturing everyday?Then make sure to join us in the Manufacturing Happy Hour Industry Community on LinkedIn.Apprentice has developed the first AI Agent designed specifically for manufacturing, not adapted from a general model. It connects across your full tech stack, keeps an eye on operations 24/7, and helps automate the mission-critical workflows your team is handling manually today. This isn't “set it and forget it” AI.
