BB28 Tuesday Live Feed Update July 21, 2026 Watch this podcast on YouTube! Big Brother 28 is at a crossroads as houseguests navigate shifting alliances and risky deals in the wake of the latest Veto ceremony. Host Taran Armstrong delivers a detailed live feed recap, focusing on Devens' pivotal moves as HOH and the vote chaos sparked by a surprise nominee switch. This episode zeroes in on Devens' decision to use the Veto on Lyric instead of Melody, leading to Rome's nomination and an uncertain “diplomatic immunity” deal. New alliance talk spreads quickly—Yash proposes a men's group with Devens, Barrett, and Drew, while Angela, Dee, Taylor, and LaTrice discuss locking in a separate four. Meanwhile, Melody's safety is anything but certain; the house divides over whether to keep her or Jason, prompting strategic conversations, secret votes, and warnings about fractured trust. Showmance rumors, fake breakups, and playful drama only raise the stakes as houseguests scramble to protect themselves ahead of eviction. Taran Armstrong outlines Devens' Veto use, shifting the target and causing last-minute scrambling. Yash's suggestion of a four-man alliance opens new possibilities for vote flipping.

2026 is the first American election where AI is shaping every link in the chain of political power — from what campaigns put in front of voters, to how voters filter what they're told, to who tech companies are trying to elect.Matt Robison sits down with Katie Harbath — 25-year veteran of the tech-politics intersection, former Facebook elections lead, and author of the upcoming book Disrupting Politics: A Front Row Seat at the Collision of Technology and Democracy (Fall 2026) — to walk through her original survey data and what she's seeing on the ground right now.We cover:Her first-of-its-kind survey of campaign professionals: 87% use AI daily, and most campaigns still have no policy governing itWhy disclosure is more complicated than "just label it" — and the research showing labels can backfireThe voter side: only 9% say they use AI for political info, but that number is misleading once you count AI answers baked into a Google searchWhy Democratic campaign staff lean Claude and Republicans lean ChatGPT and GrokHard lessons from 2016 — and the new "flood the zone" risk Katie's most worried about heading into 2026 and 2028The most underrated vulnerability in American elections: the fog-of-war period between election day and certificationWhy state legislatures — not Congress — may be the most exposed to AI industry money and influence right nowThe forgotten story of Congress eliminating its own in-house science expertise in 1994, and what it has to do with today's AI policy gridlockKatie's own verdict on whether this is the first AI election — and possibly the last one where AI isn't the dominant issue

In this episode, I'm breaking down everything I learned about sex and relationships in my 30s… because this decade taught me lessons my 20s never could. I used to think if the chemistry faded, the relationship was over, but I discovered that real intimacy is something you build, not something you stumble into. I'm talking about why stress crushes desire more than attraction ever could, why responsive desire is normal (not broken), why boring sex doesn't mean a boring relationship, and why communication really is a lubrication. If you've ever wondered why talking about sex feels harder than having it, or worried that losing the honeymoon phase means you're with the wrong person, this episode is for you.

A customer discovered 11,000 AI agents running in their environment - and most weren't even built by developers. In this episode of 10X Growth Strategies, host Preethy Padmanabhan talks to Ankur Shah (CEO, Straiker) and Nick Shevelyov (CEO, vCSO.ai) on how AI is reshaping cybersecurity for enterprises and startups alike. In this episode, we discuss: The two sides of AI and cybersecurity: using AI to improve security, and securing the AI itself Why LLMs and AI agents can be socially engineered just like humans and why that's a fundamentally new attack surface The discovery of 11,000 "citizen agents" inside a single enterprise, built without developer oversight Why visibility, governance, and guardrails are the new foundation of AI security What "YOLO mode" is, and why human-in-the-loop approval matters for high-risk agent actions How CISOs are thinking about traceability, accountability, and blast radius when deploying agentic AI Why distribution and trust are now the hardest problems in cybersecurity How MYTHOS and AI-discovered vulnerabilities are changing patching cycles and concentration risk Founder advice on building enduring companies in a crowded, fast-moving cybersecurity market Whether you're a founder, a CISO, or an investor trying to understand where AI and cybersecurity intersect - this conversation is for you. 10X Growth Strategies is a community founded by Preethy Padmanabhan, started as a podcast five years ago and now grown into a community of over 7,500 founders, investors, and executives across Luma and LinkedIn.

Recorded live at New York Tech Week, Karl and Erum sit down with Brenton Alexander (CTO at Roebling) to unpack one of the biggest bottlenecks in scaling “biology as technology”: figuring out what it really takes to design and finance physical infrastructure. Brenton walks through how Roebling uses AI alongside deterministic engineering models (physics/thermodynamics) to accelerate early facility design, generate capex/opex estimates with uncertainty ranges (not false precision), and help teams run scenarios fast—so founders, investors, and operators can make better go/no-go decisions earlier, reduce wasteful iteration across siloed teams, and focus human expertise where it matters most.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and interview the leaders and influencers changing the world by growing everything. Biology is the oldest technology. And it can be engineered.

What the Vikings' New Assistant GM Hires Reveal About Nolan Teasley's Front Office Plan — Tyler Forness and producer Dave discuss new Vikings GM Nolan Teasley quickly reshaping the front office by hiring Andrew Healy (from the Browns, positioned as Teasley's No. 2) and longtime Seahawks personnel executive Trent Kirchner as assistant general managers, noting title mechanics may have enabled the hires. They argue Kirchner is a major scouting coup with experience across pro and draft personnel and a film-plus-data approach, and they clarify “analytics” as simply analyzing data, not just specific metrics, emphasizing it should contextualize film. They caution against assuming individual credit or blame for past drafts and apply that to Ryan Grigson, saying his exact responsibilities are unclear and his prior Colts failure can still provide valuable experience. They also stress Healy's analytics background differs from Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's, and expect Teasley may make a notable roster move while this year functions as a “free year” to stamp his vision. 00:00 Teasley Era Begins 01:11 Meet the New Assistants 04:49 Kirchner Deep Dive 06:01 What Analytics Really Means 12:43 Scouting Plus Data Philosophy 17:08 GM Job Beyond Drafting 19:12 Ryan Grigson Debate 24:29 Andrew Healy and Browns Model 36:20 Restructure and Big Moves Ahead 42:21 Audience Q&A Quarterbacks 46:02 Wrap Up and Next Shows _______________________ ⭐️ Subscribe to us here! - https://www.youtube.com/@vikings1stskol92 ⭐️ Our Twitter can be found at @Vikings1stSKOL ⭐️ Our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/493z6mQXcN ⭐️ Tyler Forness can be read at A to Z Sports - https://atozsports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings-news/ ⭐️ Submit questions: forms.gle/7LJkCAern9kdUkuD8 ⭐️ On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vikings1standskol ⭐️ Watch the live show here: https://youtu.be/y2VmXLOuXTo Fan With Us!!!

Rob Has a Podcast | Survivor / Big Brother / Amazing Race - RHAP
Survivor 50 Panel at The Tribeca Film Festival Survivor celebrates its 25th anniversary at the iconic Tribeca Festival, bringing fans and legends together to reflect on 50 thrilling seasons of blindsides, alliances, and changing gameplay. In this milestone panel, Jane Rosenthal (Academy Award-nominated producer and co-founder of Tribeca Festival) is joined by Survivor icons including Rob and a panel of recent castaways to break down just what has kept Survivor fresh, relevant, and captivating for a quarter century. The discussion dives deep into Survivor 50, with candid stories about evolving gameplay—from the old school ride-or-die alliances to today's fast-shifting strategies where betrayal might just forge your next big move. Rob sets the tone by highlighting the “tribe” at the heart of Tribeca, while Jane and others reveal how Survivor has become both an archive of human interaction and a mirror for social change. The castaways talk openly about the shortened 26-day format, what it feels like to return to “regular” life after the highs and lows of Tribal Council, and the challenge of keeping up in a world (and show) where attention spans are shorter, but the stakes feel bigger than ever. – How Survivor's social game has evolved from ruthless old-school loyalty to quick repairs and unexpected new partnerships – Rob's perspective on why being voted out still resonates so deeply with our basic human fears and desires – The impact of Survivor's increased representation—including calls for more blue-collar workers and trans women on the cast – Insights into the role of storytelling at Final Tribal: has ‘outwit, outplay, outlast' changed its meaning? – Jane Rosenthal and panelists discuss how Survivor moments—from hard-hitting social issues to unforgettable blindsides—continue shaping viewers and players alike As Survivor 50 continues to push boundaries, the panel raises questions about who will adapt and thrive in an era where gameplay, identity, and society overlap.

Survivor 50 Panel at The Tribeca Film Festival Survivor celebrates its 25th anniversary at the iconic Tribeca Festival, bringing fans and legends together to reflect on 50 thrilling seasons of blindsides, alliances, and changing gameplay. In this milestone panel, Jane Rosenthal (Academy Award-nominated producer and co-founder of Tribeca Festival) is joined by Survivor icons including Rob and a panel of recent castaways to break down just what has kept Survivor fresh, relevant, and captivating for a quarter century. The discussion dives deep into Survivor 50, with candid stories about evolving gameplay—from the old school ride-or-die alliances to today's fast-shifting strategies where betrayal might just forge your next big move. Rob sets the tone by highlighting the “tribe” at the heart of Tribeca, while Jane and others reveal how Survivor has become both an archive of human interaction and a mirror for social change. The castaways talk openly about the shortened 26-day format, what it feels like to return to “regular” life after the highs and lows of Tribal Council, and the challenge of keeping up in a world (and show) where attention spans are shorter, but the stakes feel bigger than ever. – How Survivor's social game has evolved from ruthless old-school loyalty to quick repairs and unexpected new partnerships – Rob's perspective on why being voted out still resonates so deeply with our basic human fears and desires – The impact of Survivor's increased representation—including calls for more blue-collar workers and trans women on the cast – Insights into the role of storytelling at Final Tribal: has ‘outwit, outplay, outlast' changed its meaning? – Jane Rosenthal and panelists discuss how Survivor moments—from hard-hitting social issues to unforgettable blindsides—continue shaping viewers and players alike As Survivor 50 continues to push boundaries, the panel raises questions about who will adapt and thrive in an era where gameplay, identity, and society overlap.

Two sisters from rural Appalachia wrote the playbook they wish they had.What does it actually take for a woman to lead herself forward when no one handed her a roadmap? That question sits at the heart of this conversation, and the answer is more honest, more practical, and more urgent than most career advice you have heard.Self leadership is not a title you earn or a milestone you reach. It is a daily practice, and for women navigating careers that were not designed with them in mind, it may be the most important skill no one ever taught them. This episode of The Power Lounge is for every woman who has ever felt stuck, invisible, or like she was playing by rules she was never given.Kelly Mooney is a three-time author, speaker, gender equity advocate, and founder of Equipt Women. She spent over two decades leading the nation's largest independent digital agency, became Chief Experience Officer of North America at IBM, and has served on three public company boards. Her sister and co-founder Katy Mooney is a certified leadership and performance coach whose clients include Walmart, Meta, and Lululemon. Together they are the co-authors of UP! The Playbook for Every Woman on the Rise, available June 2nd.Key TakeawaysSelf leadership has to come before everything else because when you change the way you think about yourself and what you want, every choice that follows becomes different.Women often wait for permission to pursue something bigger, ask for more, or take up space. A big part of moving forward is writing yourself that permission slip.Your career is a series of choices, and not choosing is also a choice. Recognizing that truth, even when the system is not working in your favor, is where your power starts coming back.Visibility with senior leaders is not about politics. It is strategy. Research shows that for every sponsor advocating for you behind closed doors, your chances of promotion increase by 10 percent.There is no one path and no one pace. Careers span 40 to 50 years, which means you cannot have your foot on the pedal all the time. The only shoulds that matter are the ones you decide for yourself.Kelly Mooney said, "I want her to know that she has more power within her than she realizes to create the career and life she desires."Host Amy Vaughn said, "Self leadership is not a title you earn. It is a practice that you choose."Timestamps00:00 Welcome to The Power Lounge01:12 Introducing Kelly and Katy Mooney02:43 Growing up as two of ten kids in rural Appalachia05:05 The arc of UP and why self leadership comes first07:59 What coaching reveals about women who feel stuck or invisible09:31 Owning your choices even when the system is broken15:18 Finding your fit.

In this 100th episode of Swimming with Alligators, Earnest and Alexa dive into how emerging managers and VCs can truly differentiate in a world where everyone shows the same logos and track records. They unpack why LPs increasingly care about who actually sourced and led deals, why personal differentiation matters more than over-explaining strategy, and how consumer investing is quietly coming back into favor. They explore the limits of “AI strategies” that are more theater than edge, the shifting career paths for 30–40-something VCs, and whether the popular barbell approach to venture (tiny funds + megafunds) still fits a rapidly changing market. They also discuss how diligence is evolving, why moats now look more like trust, data, and distribution than pure tech, and what a wave of large IPOs could mean for angels, new funds, and early-stage competition. Highlights from this week's conversation include: Celebrating 100 Episodes and DDQ Format (0:33) Differentiation in Fund Decks and Shared Logo Problem (2:12) Why Sourced vs Led Matters and Back-Channel Relationships (3:56) Overemphasis on Strategy vs True Differentiation and Team Cohesion (6:25) Pressure to Go Public, Headaches of Being Public, and Lawsuit Risk (10:14) OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, and Logic of If They Do It, We Have to Do It (12:26) Enterprise VCs Moving into Consumer and Founders Rethinking Moats (14:11) Distribution, Brand, Trust, and Proprietary Data as Defensible Moats (16:25) Google, Personal Data, and Unseen Costs of Using LLMs (18:15) LPs Asking About AI Strategy and Congruent Use of AI Tools (20:44) Start ,Bench, Cut, Trade, and Suspend for 30s and 40s VCs (24:46) Allocators Following a Barbell Approach and Conventional Wisdom (27:11) LPs Diligencing Firm Strategy, Hiring, and Seed Creep at Large Funds (34:56) Audience Q&A Segment Introduction and Contact Information (37:13) Tinkering, Experimenting with Workflows, and Evaluating AI Tool Impact (39:07) Durability of Business Models, Trust, Distribution, and Manufactured Momentum (41:02) Post-IPO Talent Leaving, Mafias, and Angel-Backed New Founders (44:11) Closing Reflections on 100 Episodes and Looking Ahead to the Future (46:24) Swimming with Allocators is a podcast that dives into the intriguing world of Venture Capital from an LP (Limited Partner) perspective.

"To quote my business partner, a broker makes you broker."To celebrate the 5-year and 250th-episode anniversary of the podcast, we recorded a special live panel in front of an audience featuring three of the most forward-thinking minds in the benefits space: Chris Hamilton (Hotchkiss Insurance), Taylor Rogers (CCIG), and Seth Denson (Acrisure).In this "State of the Union" episode, we tackle the existential crisis facing mid-market employers and the healthcare industry at large. The panel holds nothing back as we debate the illusion of PPO network discounts, the weaponization of AI in medical billing, and why staying fully-insured absolutely does not protect a CFO from fiduciary liability lawsuits. The guys also share their personal "Jerry Maguire" moments - the exact turning points in their careers when they decided to stop chasing commissions and start fighting for the patients and employers footing the bill.Following the main discussion, we hosted a Q&A featuring questions from the audience.If you are an employer looking to take control of your healthcare spend or an advisor wanting to stay relevant in a rapidly changing market, this live discussion is packed with actionable strategy.Thank you to all who have listened for helping us get to 5 years!Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

In this interview from the 2026 Bainbridge Community Foundation Annual Financial Education Series, Paul sits down with Bill Bernstein — neurologist, financial historian, and author of The Four Pillars of Investing and If You Can — for a wide-ranging conversation drawn from 50-plus years of investing experience.Bill explains why you're only rewarded for taking risk in well-regulated markets (and why crypto doesn't qualify), how today's market echoes the late 1990s, why the "reverse glide path" makes sense the older you get, and what the Bessembinder research really tells us about the cost of trying to pick winners. Paul and Bill also debate withdrawal strategies, the case against long bonds, and whether tilted small-value investing still works once "the bozos know about it."A masterclass in evidence-based investing from one of the most respected voices in the field.CHAPTERS00:00 Intro from Matt Longmire, Bainbridge Community Foundation02:50 Welcoming Bill Bernstein03:50 Why The Four Pillars of Investing belongs on every DIY investor's shelf05:50 Risk vs. reward — and why Bitcoin doesn't qualify08:30 How many asset classes do you really need?11:50 Where today's market resembles the late 1990s13:40 Are REITs still worth holding?15:50 The case for automating everything19:45 Why retirees need to fear sequence-of-returns risk21:30 Paul's 5% rule vs. the 4% rule25:30 The two-bucket theory and the reverse glide path27:30 Prediction markets, gambling, and "being the house"32:00 The sociological signs of a bubble35:00 Speculation vs. gambling — gold's real return40:00 The Bessembinder study: why 4% of stocks make most of the returns46:00 Why rich people plan three generations ahead49:00 Audience Q&A58:30 Tilted index funds (DFA, Avantis) — worth it?01:03:50 The future of Social Security01:07:00 Closing thoughts and book recommendationsLINKS:The Four Pillars of Investing — Bill Bernstein (2nd ed., 2023)If You Can — Free PDF from Bill BernsteinThe Bessembinder Study — "Do Stocks Outperform Treasury Bills?"Bainbridge Community FoundationBen Carlson's New Book on Risk and Reward
We are joined by guest co-host Professor Pam Karlan at the American Law Institute Annual Meeting for the last live show of season 6. We work through a busy stretch of the interim docket: the Alabama GVR in Allen v. Caster and what Callais has done to Section 2; the denied stay in the Virginia redistricting fight, Scott v. McDougle; and the mifepristone cases, Danco and GenBioPro v. Louisiana, where Thomas rides the Comstock Act alone and Alito takes it personally. Then a turn to executive power and the term's looming merits decisions—birthright citizenship, the Federal Reserve, Humphrey's Executor—before audience questions on state voting rights acts, fixing the single-member-district statute, and whether you can wish yourself more wishes.Key Topics[00:00:11] - Live show introduction at the American Law Institute with guest host Pam Karlan[00:02:30] - Fallout from Louisiana v.

This episode of Evening With A Legend features endurance driver Ricky Taylor talking about his Le Mans experiences, from attending in 2001 with his father (Wayne Taylor) to racing there from 2013 onward. Ricky describes the event's scale, the track's dusty first laps, narrow roads, tricky slow corners, night-time loneliness, and the WEC vs IMSA differences in culture, rules, and precision. He explains Le Mans' low-energy surface and long tire life, plus how top-level simulators and Michelin tire models aid preparation. Ricky also reviews Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac's recent Le Mans effort, including qualifying pace, missing Hyperpole, and an engine failure, and reflects on racing with his brother Jordan and teammate Filipe Albuquerque. He discusses Jackie Chan's LMP2 program, LMP2's competitiveness, Garage 56's Camaro impact, Cadillac's 2026 F1 plans, and goals to improve after a difficult season. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Ricky's early Le Mans Memories 03:09 First Racing Laps 2013 04:55 IMSA vs WEC Culture 06:25 Night Stints, Track Surprises and Passing 10:50 Training and Simulator Prep 14:53 2025 Cadillac Le Mans Postmortem 16:50 Family Racing Together 17:59 Jackie Chan LMP2 Story & Why LMP2 Matters 22:04 Garage 56 24:01 Filipe Albuquerque's Hybrid Knowhow 27:09 Are the Cars Too Reliable? 28:48 Audience Q&A 33:29 Thoughts on Cadillac F1 in 2026 34:40 Le Mans 2026 Plans 38:03 Why Le Mans Matters Most and Final Thanks! ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram To learn more about or to become a member of the ACO USA, look no further than www.lemans.org, Click on English in the upper right corner and then click on the ACO members tab for Club Offers.

Did Latter-day Saints get the Protestant Reformation wrong? In this eye-opening episode of Ward Radio, Luke Hansen from Doctrine & Governance joins Cardon Ellis to challenge common LDS narratives about Martin Luther and the Reformers.Using a detailed doctrinal comparison chart, they explore surprising alignments between LDS theology and Catholicism — and major disagreements with Evangelical Protestantism — on topics like the Godhead, priesthood authority, one true church, faith & works, and more.Is the Reformation a "massive leap for mankind" or a continuation of the Great Apostasy? Should we celebrate Reformation Day? This is must-watch for anyone interested in church history, apologetics, and deeper gospel understanding.Featuring humor, charts, and thought-provoking discussion as always.#WardRadio #LatterDaySaints #Reformation #MartinLuther #LDS #Catholic #Protestant #GreatApostasy #BookOfMormon #Christianity #ChurchHistoryVideo Chapters:
This week on Sinica, in a special episode recorded as a live joint webcast with NYRB/Poets and Equator Magazine, I sit down with Eleanor Goodman — poet, scholar, research associate at Harvard's Fairbank Center, and one of the most accomplished translators working between Chinese and English — to talk about the extraordinary Sichuan-born poet Zheng Xiaoqiong (郑小琼).Born in 1980 in a mountain village, trained as a nurse, Zheng joined the great tide of internal migration in her early 20s, ending up on the assembly line of a hardware factory in Dongguan in the Pearl River Delta. She picked up a pen after a workplace injury — part of her finger taken off by a lathe — and what came out across poems, essays, and reportage has made her one of the most singular voices in contemporary Chinese literature. Her trajectory from the assembly line to the editorial desk of an official literary magazine is, as far as I know, essentially without parallel.Eleanor has been translating Zheng since around 2013, and the partnership they've built has given Anglophone readers access to a body of work that defies easy categorization — at once intimate and historical, ethnographic and lyric, tender and unsparing. We talk about how they met, about Zheng's resistance to the "migrant worker poet" label, about the bodily feminism that runs through her verse, about her unmoralizing portraits of sex workers, about lost youth and the way the body keeps the ledger of factory time. Eleanor reads Zheng's poem "Woman Worker: Youth Pinned to a Workstation" (女工: 被固定在卡桌上的青春) in both Chinese and her English translation — and it is, every time, devastating.Huge thanks to Abigail Dunn at NYRB Poets and Ratik Asokan at Equator for organizing this conversation and for inviting me to host it, to Eleanor for her generosity and her brilliance, and most of all to Zheng Xiaoqiong, whose voice — even when she cannot be with us in person — comes through with absolute clarity.Eleanor's translation of Zheng Xiaoqiong's In the Roar of the Machine is available from NYRB Poets. The Equator selections, drawn from Zheng's long-form prose, are available at Equator Magazine.05:07 — How Eleanor and Zheng met in 2013, and why a book had to happen08:14 — Navigating the awkward proposition of China for the Western left10:50 — Zheng's trajectory: from a Sichuan village to the assembly line to the editor's desk16:29 — Resisting the "migrant worker poet" (打工诗人) label20:47 — Conventions of the genre: exhaustion, iron, lost identity, the screw in the machine24:58 — Who gets translated into English, and why28:34 — The translator's ethics: how do you render a factory poem honestly?32:42 — Eleanor reads "Woman Worker, Youth Pinned to a Workstation" (女工被固定在卡桌上的青春) in Chinese and English37:14 — Zheng's bodily feminism: irregular periods, a different way of caring40:37 — Lost youth and the passage of time44:36 — Sex work and women's labor: portraits without moralizing49:59 — Whose work actually counts in Chinese urban discourse?52:45 — Why Zheng Xiaoqiong wasn't able to join us, and how censorship really works54:44 — Rose Courtyard and what's next: classical allusions, ancestral homes, embroidering grandmothers57:39 — Audience Q&A: American worker poets, the WeChat communities of migrant writers, and Zheng's standing in Chinese lettersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for Part 2 of his Audience Q&A: Operational CIA MONARCH mind slave survivor, thriver and whistleblower, devoted husband and loving father, blogger and content creator, published book writer and author, beloved podcast regular, and absolute warrior, J.R SweetFor most of his life, J.R. believed he had grown up in a relatively normal family. That illusion shattered in 2017 at age 38 when long suppressed memories began to surface with devastating clarity. What emerged was the truth of systematic ritualistic abuse beginning in infancy. He was tested at 5 years old for his capacity to dissociate and from that moment forward was forced to become a CIA sponsored mind slave. As a teenager, J.R. was sold to Senator Robert Byrd who used him in blackmail operations, pornography production, and eventually cleared him for Pentagon level black operations after a sadistic test of obedience involving the murder of someone J.R. cared deeply about. He carried out assassinations, guarded satanic rituals and underground complexes, and was positioned in proximity to figures in politics, Hollywood, and the music industry. He personally encountered people whose public personas hide lives of control and compromise.Yet the most extraordinary chapter of J.R.'s life is not what was done to him, but what he has done with the pain and devastation. In 2017, when the walls of amnesia began to crack, J.R. chose the path of exposure rather than silence. He began journaling every memory that returned, no matter how painful, horrifying, or professionally risky. Those raw, meticulously processed accounts now live on his website, mormonmonarch.com, a digital lighthouse for other survivors and a public record that refuses to be erased. The writings are not sensationalized. They are sober, detailed, and relentlessly honest. They name locations, methods, abusers, and institutions, including the hidden intersection of certain religious hierarchies, government agencies, and elite bloodlines. Today, J.R. is a husband and father who protects his own children from the systems that once ensnared him. He's a writer whose incredible self-published memoir, Mormon Monarch, will preserve his testimony for all of time. Above all, he is proof that no matter the amount of programming, no depth of betrayal and no layer of dissociation can extinguish the divine spark that refuses to be enslaved.Our last episode was the first part of an audience Question and Answer session, and on today's episode, J.R. will be doing part 2 of answering all of your questions.

What if the key to better sex wasn't about technique — it was about learning to feel your own body again? Taryn Toomey, founder of The Class, joined me live at Eudaimonia to break down how 13 years of somatic movement quietly rewired her relationship with pleasure, sound, and receiving — and why the two aren't as different as you'd think. From faking orgasms in her 20s to purring her way through her "delicious" 40s, Taryn gets raw about her two-year stretch of only receiving oral sex, falling deeply in love after divorce, and what it really means to let someone in — body and soul. Don't forget to watch the full video podcast on YouTube! In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the sounds you make in a workout and the sounds you make in bed come from the exact same place — and how unlocking one unlocks the other • How Taryn's two-year "oral sex only" era taught her more about receiving, boundaries, and her own body than any relationship ever did • The one breathwork tool that works both in The Class and during sex to get out of your head and back into your body — instantly And if you want to dive deeper into Taryn's work after listening, we've got a little gift for you.

We're back in Austin for the 2026 SXSW EDU "March Madness of Learning Trends" LIVE panel. Host Mike Palmer is joined by AJ Gutierrez (CEO of Equal Opportunity Schools), Jasmine Maze (Senior Managing Director at Teach for America's Reinvention Lab), and Justin Serrano (CEO of Littera Education) to reveal a bracket of 16 trends shaping the future of education. The conversation moves past the usual AI hype to focus on human capital and accountability. Justin Serrano introduces the "outcomes economy," describing a shift in procurement where school districts move away from buying software and toward outcomes-based contracting that holds providers accountable for student results. AJ Gutierrez highlights the continued efficacy of high-impact tutoring, noting that regular personalization within the school day remains one of the most rigorously evaluated and successful approaches to K-12 recovery. Jasmine Maze provides a necessary critique of AI as a simple productivity engine. She argues for a focus on "teacher efficiency," which means using technology to remove administrative friction and "buy back" time for the relational, human work of mentoring and master design. Mike Palmer rounds out the discussion with a call for "strategic optimism" and the importance of "unplugging" to maintain internal dialogue in an age of digital distraction. Key Takeaways: The Outcomes Economy: State departments are increasingly adopting contracts where up to 40% of payment is tied to intended student outcomes. Redefining Efficiency: Efficiency in education should mean making more time for the masterwork of human connection rather than just pressuring teachers to do more with less. Productive Distrust: As "AI slop" and mediocre content become ubiquitous, learners must develop "productive distrust," a form of critical media literacy that uses skepticism to verify sources and cross-reference information. Interoperability Standards: Initiatives like Project Unicorn and the EdSafe Alliance are essential for creating ethical, secure, and evidence-based standards for AI implementation in schools. Why Listen?This episode offers a front-row seat to the debate over the purpose of K-12 education in an automated world. The panel discusses why "play" is a critical sandbox for solving complex problems and how global perspectives—from France to Ukraine—can help educators scale best practices across different contexts.

Hala Taha's mindset was pushed to its breaking point by relentless rejection, discrimination, and loss. After three years of unpaid sacrifice at Hot 97, being fired and blackballed, repeatedly passed over for promotion, and ultimately losing her father to COVID, she had every reason to quit.
