Podcasts about Ashcroft

Today's guest is someone you may remember from one of our most listened-to episodes of last year—Sarah Ashcroft. Sarah is one of the original fashion creators in the UK, and in our last episode, she took us through her journey turning her online presence into the fashion powerhouse that was SLA The Label.But since then, a lot has changed.In Feburary this year, Sarah announced that SLA was closing. This episode is the first time she's speaking on a podcast about that situation—what led to it, how it felt to walk away from something she built from the ground up, and what she's learned in the months since.This is a conversation about identity, pressure, clarity, and the harsh reality of running a business in public. It's raw, it's reflective, and it's going to resonate with anyone who's ever had to make a difficult decision or gone through a huge life change.I'm so grateful to Sarah for trusting us with this conversation. +SARAH ASHCROFTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahhashcroft/?hl=enYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@sarahhashcroft +MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is obviously monetarily endorsed.

Since at least 2019 the United Nations has tried to justify banning anime and manga due to what they consider to be potentially obscene depictions of sexual material related to children. This has failed miserably in the US, Japan, and Australia. In Texas a new bill seeks to do the same, though Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition will likely rule it to be unconstitutional regardless. It's strange that a product like anime or manga, admittedly open for interpretation - the characters are often part cat or animal, are hyper exaggerated, or are based on kawaii culture - would be targeted instead of actual pornography or actual sex trafficking operations. At least in terms of the publicity and priority. Perhaps the priority is based on something else, like certain groups claiming that such content, including game versions, promotes racial homogeneity and marriage norms. And there it is! While the United States admits it has the ability to “manipulate time and space,” the country still can't seem to pick up trash, clean subways, build high speed transportation, or fix infrastructure, let alone create anything new. In fact, the implication of scientific-fiction technology from the White House Science adviser might explain where the trillions of missing US dollars go. The thing is the United States maintains its power in the world through fear of war and economics, and by banning and censoring the outside, like China does. The country has lost any moral high ground and certainly any real essence of culture. Perhaps that's why anime and manga are growing so rapidly in the United States. It's something unique, different, fresh, and certainly not politically correct. Once again, priorities, because instead of building better cars, trains, infrastructure or even good entertainment, the country sabotages all of that and wastes its money on weapons and war. Even the Internet and GPS, two major contributions from the USA to the world, were invented by DARPA and the DOD - for killing and control. This power, and the power of politics, like Oregon cancelling math and reading requirements for graduation, also keeps the citizens in the dark of an antiquated reality. Much of the technology the country does have doesn't come from American minds anyways, it comes from Asia and largely from Israel. The county that gives us anime and manga, which is one of the least politically correct in the world, and one of the most conservative, also gives us QR codes, emojis, plastic that dissolves with no microplastics, tornado prediction software that is accurate, super advanced solar panels, bullet trains since 1964, hybrid cars since 1997, laptops, portable music, the novel, navigation systems, and most discs like DVD and CD. It is also a country that when there is widespread technological failure, citizens still voluntarily pay there toll fees because the money actually goes into infrastructure, and because it is a culture of honor and respect. On the other hand, the US state of California has blown through $15.7-billion and failed at constructing a high-speed rail in 2025. The original Shinkansen took only $3-billion US in the 1960s. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

One moment, 66 year old Raymond Ashcroft was walking through the legendary ruins of Tikal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site deep in the Guatemalan rainforest.  The next? He was gone.  No struggle. No witnesses. Just… silence. Authorities launched a desperate search within a half hour of his disappearance.  But Raymond? He had disappeared into the shadows of history, just like the ancient Maya who once ruled these lands. Was it an accident? Did he wander off and couldn't find his way back? Was it foul play? Or something far stranger? Listen as we dive into Guatemala, the case of Raymond Ashcroft, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton concerns Texas Law H.B. 1181, and what precedent should apply in considering its impact on free speech.Passed in 2023, the law requires commercial entities, including social media platforms, "that knowingly and intentionally publish or distribute material on an Internet website... more than one-third of which is sexual material harmful to minors" to age-gate their content, and to verify the age of their users, ensuring they are 18 years of age or older.Soon after the law passed, plaintiffs, including the Free Speech Coalition, "a trade association for the adult industry", sued, claiming the law violated their right to free speech. Drawing on a line of cases including Ashcroft v. ACLU (2004), the plaintiffs argued that since the law impacted constitutionally protected speech, strict scrutiny should be applied and the TX law failed that test. In reviewing the case, the Fifth Circuit denied that argument, instead applying a rational basis test, drawing from the precedent of Ginsburg v. New York (1968).Thus, the Supreme Court is set to consider a relatively narrow question: whether the court of appeals erred as a matter of law in applying rational-basis review, instead of strict scrutiny, to a law burdening adults’ access to protected speech.Join us for a Courthouse Steps program following oral argument on January 15, 2025, where we break down and analyze how arguments went before the Court.Featuring:Erik S.

You know me—I'm all about breaking things down and finding the best ways to get stuff done. But this time? We're going way beyond theory. In this episode, my good friend and collaborator, Kevin Ashcroft, jumped in and showed me how to actually build TWO apps—live. Step by step, no fluff, just straight-up action. Watching it happen blew my mind, and trust me, you're gonna want to see this for yourself. It's a total game-changer for anyone who's ever thought about creating their tools.You might know Kevin from previous episodes, but if this is your first time listening to Beyond 8 Figures, let me catch you up. Kevin, CEO of WP Support Specialists and author of Outsourcing for Success, is the kind of entrepreneur who takes ideas and runs with them fast. Using tools like Claude AI and Replit, he's built custom apps, like a meal and exercise tracker tailored to his specific health needs, in just 45 minutes. Yep, you read that right—45 minutes. And in this episode, he's showing us exactly how it's done.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Kevin built a functional personal app to manage his health using AI tools in under an hour.The benefits and challenges of creating tailored solutions versus using off-the-shelf apps.Insights into Kevin's process for launching the "Content Refresh Manager" WordPress plugin.Why personal software is the next frontier for entrepreneurs.How AI can democratize app development, empowering non-technical founders.Key Takeaways:AI is Your Brainstorming Buddy: Watching Kevin work with AI tools felt like seeing someone brainstorm with the ultimate creative partner. Sure, there were a few frustrating moments, but the payoff? Totally worth it.Keep It Simple: Kevin's approach to app-building is a great reminder that you don't need flashy features to make a big impact. Sometimes, the cleanest, simplest solutions are the ones that truly deliver.Make It Work for You: One thing that stood out was how customizable Kevin's tools were. It's a great example of how entrepreneurs can align their productivity tools with their specific goals instead of settling for one-size-fits-all solutions.From Idea to Marketplace: Kevin didn't just stop at personal apps—he showed us how to take that same energy and use it to create a WordPress plugin that's already live and making waves.Building exactly what you need is more accessible and game-changing than ever. Watching Kevin create tailored apps in real time was a powerful reminder that innovation doesn't have to be expensive, flashy, or overly complex—it's about solving real problems with simple, practical tools that work for you.Why This Matters Running a business is hard enough without wasting time on tools that don't fit or waiting for someone else to solve your problems. I've been in those moments where nothing quite fits—whether it's a process that feels clunky or a tool that almost does the job but leaves you frustrated. What I love about what we dive into here is the idea that you don't have to wait around or settle anymore. You can actually build something that fits your needs, and it's not as complicated as it sounds.For me, it was a reminder that we don't have to play by the old rules. We can create what we need, when we need it. If you're trying to get over a bottleneck or just make your business run smoother, trust me, this episode is worth your time. It's one of those conversations that sticks with you and makes you rethink what's possible.Let's Work Together If you're ready to stop relying on cookie-cutter solutions and start building tools that work for your business, let's talk. Whether refining your strategy, streamlining your operations, or scaling smarter, I can help you create a roadmap that fits your goals—and makes the most of your time and resources.

Let's get real—hiring shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. We've all been there. You've got a role to fill, and suddenly, you're staring at a pile of resumes that all look the same or scrolling through job platforms, wondering how to separate the rockstars from the rest. It feels like a gamble—like you're rolling the dice and hoping the chosen person can deliver.But what if hiring wasn't a game of chance? What if you could approach it with the same clarity and confidence you bring to other areas of your business? In this follow-up episode with my great friend and mentor, Kevin Ashcroft, CEO of WP Support Specialists and author of Outsourcing for Success, we'll answer these questions and more. If you didn't listen to the first half of this episode, “What is Global Talent and How Can You Hire Them for Your Business?” check it out.Kevin's been in the hiring trenches for over 15 years, refining a system that takes the guesswork out of finding the right talent. It's not just about skills (though those matter, of course)—it's about identifying the why behind the role, aligning it with your company's goals, and ensuring the person you bring on shares your values.Because here's the thing: hiring is one of the most critical investments you'll make as a business owner. And when you approach it strategically, the payoff isn't just a good hire—it's a stronger, more cohesive team that helps your business thrive.Kevin's Results Speak for ThemselvesFrom a single hire to a global team: Kevin scaled WP Support Specialists by outsourcing everything from admin to advanced development, proving that global talent isn't just cost-effective—it's transformative.Efficiency that pays off: His approach slashes hiring time while improving the quality of hires, giving entrepreneurs more time to focus on growth.Navigating AI-driven changes: Kevin's insights on sifting through AI-generated job applications are necessary for anyone hiring in today's tech-saturated landscape.Key Insights from the Episode:Hiring Starts with the “Why”Too many of us rush into hiring because we feel the pressure of an empty seat. Kevin's process begins with asking: Do we really need this role? If you don't know the answer, you're setting yourself up for a mismatch.Cultural Fit Is a Game-ChangerSkills can be trained, but shared values can't. Kevin's emphasis on cultural alignment as a non-negotiable for hiring resonated deeply with me. It's saved me from making some big mistakes in the past.Think Beyond BordersKevin and I geeked out about the beauty of global talent. It's not just a cost-saving move—it's about finding the right person, no matter where they're based. Forget the stereotypes; talent is talent.AI Is Changing the GamePlatforms are flooded with AI-generated responses that make sorting through candidates more challenging. Kevin shared some tricks to separate the real deal from the fluff. (Hint: Generic job posts don't cut it anymore.)Why This MattersHere's the deal—Kevin's approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about creating systems that work for your business, not just today but as you grow. I know firsthand how tempting it is to just “fill the gap,” but every hire should bring you closer to your long-term vision.This episode is for you if:You're tired of wasting time on the wrong candidates.You want to build a team that shares your values and drives results.You're ready to stop putting out fires and start hiring strategically.Whether you're just starting or scaling your team globally, Kevin's insights are a masterclass in strategic hiring.

You'll be casting ballots in Missouri in November on Constitutional Amendment 7, which has several provisions. The biggest one would make Missouri's Constitution consistent with state law by only allowing citizens of the United States to vote. The measure changes one word, from "all" to "only" citizens. The other provisions of 7 pertain to ranked voting and plurality winners. Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, who unsuccessfully sought the GOP gubernatorial nomination in August, appeared this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Gary Nolan show." Secretary Ashcroft says Missouri needs a law that requires individuals to show proof of citizenship before they register and before they vote. Democrats like former State Rep. Chris Kelly (D-Columbia) say the law already prohibits this. Former Representative Kelly says the Missouri Constitution says voters must be citizens. But State Rep. Adam Schwadron (R-St. Charles) and other Republicans say it reads that all citizens are eligible to vote. That's why they want the one-word change. Gary Nolan and Secretary Ashcroft also discussed Amendment 2, which involves sports wagering, and Amendment, and Amendment 5, which would allow a riverboat casino at the Lake of the Ozarks:

They placed a constitutional amendment on this fall's ballot to preemptively block municipalities from giving such novel systems a try. (St. Louis City, which switched to approval voting in 2020, would be grandfathered in.) But Dave Roland, director of litigation at the Freedom Center of Missouri, couldn't help but notice something in Tuesday's election results: Conservative Republicans would almost certainly have fared much better under a ranked-choice system. After all, the more centrist Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe likely won the gubernatorial primary because the flame-throwing conservatives Jay Ashcroft and Bill Eigel cut into each other's support. (Kehoe won 40 percent to their combined 56 percent.) “It seems clear from yesterday's result that a significant majority of Republican voters wanted a conservative candidate to be the party's nominee,” Roland says. “They just couldn't agree on which one!” As practiced by Utah Republicans (among others), ranked choice would have allowed right-leaning voters to rank their favorite candidate first and the next second. When the third-place candidate was eliminated (in this case, likely Ashcroft), his votes could have instead gone to Eigel, putting him over the edge. Why It Matters: As Roland observes, lots of data suggests that Missouri voters like pugnacious pols in the mold of Donald Trump. But after six years of the folksy Mike Parson as governor—who was appointed to the job after Eric Greitens flamed out in a pyre of scandal—they're looking at either Kehoe or Democrat Crystal Quade, both of whom would have likely struggled to make the runoff under a ranked-choice or approval-based system. What's Next: This November, voters will consider the Republican-supported ban on alternative voting systems.

Welcome back to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This series was created and peer-reviewed by national leaders in acute care PNP education collaborating with one another to meet the needs of our current and future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.  This episode explores wellness for the pediatric nurse practitioner. We first discuss burnout in terms of its physical and mental impact on the provider as well as poorer patient outcomes and healthcare systems burdens. After we identify symptoms of burnout and compassion fatigue, we'll discuss what wellness looks like in various systems at work from organizational culture of wellness to ease of daily work and finally personal resilience. We end with a discussion on self-compassion and introduce the evidence in support of meditation as a strategy to promote mind-body wellness. For some, this concept is new, so the technical aspects of meditation are unpacked to facilitate your own path to daily wellness. This episode pairs well with the 5-minute meditation for pediatric providers.    References: Berwick, D. M., Nolan, T. W., & Whittington, J. (2008). The triple aim: care, health, and cost.

Podcast Description: Jay Ashcroft has been on an electoral winning streak since he rolled to victory in a contentious primary for Missouri secretary of state in 2016 and now he's hoping to extend it in the GOP primary for governor. The statewide official faces stiff competition from Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe and state Sen. Bill Eigel. On the latest episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, Ashcroft said neither of his opponents could bring about the type of policy change Republicans want. STLPR statehouse and politics reporter Sarah Kellogg also joins the show for analysis.

Former MO Sen John Lamping talks with Marc & Kim about Bill Eigel's new ad, Eigel's campaign plan and what it will take for Eigel to win.
