Cindy Wageman was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at just 24 years old, facing a potentially daunting reality that many would find difficult to bear. However, instead of succumbing to despair, she embarked on a personal journey that would ultimately lead her to reclaim her health and happiness. Cindy's path was not an easy one. Faced with the limitations imposed by her diagnosis, she found herself at a crossroads. The medical advice she received left her feeling hopeless, and she realized that she needed to take matters into her own hands. "I decided that I needed to do my own research because the doctors just couldn't help me," she recalls. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of her transformative journey. Through extensive research and a commitment to understanding her condition, Cindy discovered the "eight laws of health" that would guide her towards recovery. These principles—nutrition, exercise, water, sunshine, balance, rest, and trust in divine power—became the foundation of her new lifestyle. She embraced a plant-based diet, incorporated daily exercise, and prioritized her mental well-being. Cindy's journey was also about emotional healing. She learned the importance of forgiveness, not just for others but for herself. "Forgiveness gives you freedom in life when you forgive the other person," she explains. This realization allowed her to let go of past grievances and focus on the present moment. Cindy shares her insights and experiences, encouraging listeners to explore their own paths to health and happiness. Whether you're struggling with a health issue or simply seeking motivation, her story is a powerful reminder that we all have the capacity to overcome life's challenges and emerge stronger on the other side.

Gone Guys explores a “quiet crisis” in our communities, hidden in plain sight: the increasing disengagement and isolation of boys and young men. Set in rural Vermont, this documentary brings national data to life highlighting the struggles faced by boys and young men and sets the stage for a meaningful conversation. Over the past fifty years, boys and young men have steadily disengaged from school, work, and broader society. They're falling behind academically, struggling with loneliness and isolation, and facing rising rates of substance abuse and suicide.This 45-minute documentary draws on the influential work of Richard V. Reeves' “Of Boys and Men”, illuminating these challenges through powerful data and compelling personal stories. Many of us have experienced these issues first-hand, but it can be difficult to talk about them. It's not an either-or choice: caring more about boys and men does not mean caring less about women and girls.The film brings national data to life with engaging animation accompanying lived experience featuring young men, educators, mentors, and trailblazing programs that are working to re-engage boys and young men in their communities and reshape their futures.Website: goneguysfilm.com Support the show

And on YouTube @BumpInTheRoadPodcast The world rewards our external achievements-titles, conforming to norms, possessions. But does our personal authenticity align with such a viewpoint?

Spencer Jakab is an award-winning Wall Street Journal investing columnist with 30 years of finance experience who transformed from emerging markets research director into a financial journalist exposing how everyday investors repeatedly get fleeced by Wall Street's latest schemes.Episode Sponsor: Fiscal AI is a modern data terminal that gives investors instant access to twenty years of financials, earnings transcripts, and extensive segment and KPI data—use my link for a two-week free trial plus 15% off: https://fiscal.ai/talkingbillions/03:00 - Spencer's origin story: Growing up in Queens as son of Hungarian refugees, discovering investing through Peter Lynch's "One Up On Wall Street" in college, despite his late father's unsuccessful attempts to spark his interest earlier.08:00 - The accidental career path: Taking every finance class at Columbia, landing in emerging markets analysis covering post-Iron Curtain privatizations, then pivoting to Wall Street Journal journalism after a chance plane conversation led to same-day writing test and job offer.15:00 - GameStop reality check: The meme stock phenomenon wasn't the democratizing revolution portrayed on social media—it was another example of retail investors getting manipulated while believing they were "sticking it to the man."25:00 - The casino-fication of investing: How Robinhood and app-based platforms gamified trading with confetti animations and frictionless execution, making speculation feel like a mobile game rather than serious wealth-building.35:00 - Why passive beats active: Spencer explains the brutal math—only 11% of active fund managers beat the market over 30 years, and individual investors perform even worse due to fees, taxes, and behavioral mistakes.45:00 - The finfluencer trap: Social media rewards reckless investing behavior because outrageous bets generate more engagement than boring, sensible advice—creating dangerous incentive structures that harm followers.60:00 - Bots and manipulation: Modern markets face new threats from AI-generated social media campaigns pumping meme coins and stocks, making it nearly impossible to distinguish genuine sentiment from coordinated manipulation.67:00 - Defining success: Spencer's powerful reflection on career choices—turning down potential hundreds of millions to do work he loves, echoing Warren Buffett's definition of success as having people genuinely care about you when you're gone.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC. All statements and opinions expressed are based upon information considered reliable although it should not be relied upon as such.

Brute 1976 is a solid horror movie that throws us back to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes days where there are desert-dwelling psychos who kill with thrill. The campiness of the classic group further mimics the bohemian feel of characters, each of whom personifies those slasher stereotypes we know and love. I can honestly say you will be afraid of those weekend getaways where everyone is targeted. Brute 1976 left me completely full on the type of horror I love. Sarah French: the award-winning actress who has been in more independent horror movies than I can count, she is what I would call pure talent. Not only has she impressed me her ability to act in every role given, but she has also left the impression that no matter what it takes, she will get the job done. Her role in Brute 1976 as Sunshine has definitely lit up the screen with her iconic gift to grab the essence of that character and bring her to life. If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend it… If you want to travel back in time to revisit your love for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, then you have to see this spot-on replica of the imaginative storylines. Brute 1976 is now on Digital: Tubi, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango, Apple Tv and many more platforms. If you're a fan of 70s horror, then you have to see this! Make sure to stop by Sarah's Facebook and Instagram pages to show her some “Brute” love and support.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at what every new student should know before stepping onto campus for the first time. Ford reflects on how it's perfectly normal to feel nervous or unsure on that first day — especially for first-generation students or adults returning to school. He reminds listeners that there are no bad questions and encourages everyone to reach out, ask for help, and take advantage of the many resources available at Northeast. Ford also shares valuable advice for managing the pace of college life, emphasizing that education isn't a race. Instead, students should take time to adjust, choose a manageable course load, and focus on progress rather than perfection. By slowing down, connecting with faculty and staff, and using available support services, students can build a strong foundation for long-term success at Northeast and beyond. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

Late last year, the winners of the 2025 Prime Minister's Prizes for Excellence in Science Teaching were announced. Each year, the 2 prizes – one for a primary school educator and one for a secondary school educator – recognise achievements in STEM teaching. For 2025, the winner for primary school teaching is Paula Taylor, Executive Teacher in STEM at the Academy of Future Skills within the ACT Education Directorate. The secondary school educator recognised is Matt Dodds, Biology and Physics Teacher at Glen Innes High School in New South Wales. We sat down with both of them at the beginning of the 2026 school year to hear all about the work they were recognised for. It was such a delight to hear about the teachers that had an impact on them when they were younger, the lesson activities that are a hit in their science classrooms, and how they're sharing their knowledge with other educators.

What if grit isn't about pushing harder but about knowing when to pivot, pause, and play the long game? In this episode, I sit down with Joel Goldberg, longtime Kansas City Royals announcer, speaker, and author, to pull back the curtain on what high-performing athletes can teach us about resilience, failure, and sustained success in business and life. Drawing from decades inside professional sports, Joel shares the real, behind-the-scenes moments you never see in post-game interviews… the slumps, the setbacks, and the quiet decisions that separate those who burn out from those who endure. We dig into what it actually means to "manage failure," why baseball might be the ultimate teacher of resilience, and how grit shows up in unexpected ways. Along the way, Joel shares unforgettable stories of players who refused to quit, leaders who stayed disciplined when no one was watching, and the mindset shifts that allow people to keep moving forward when the outcome feels uncertain. Topics We Cover in This Episode:  Why failure isn't the problem, but how you process it might be The hidden habits elite performers rely on long before success shows up How to tell the difference between working harder and working smarter What "grit" really looks like behind the scenes of professional sports Why rest, recovery, and off-seasons are strategic, not lazy The subtle ways resilience shows up in relationships and trust-building How staying open to new approaches can change your entire trajectory If this conversation sparked something in you, don't let it end here. Take a moment to reflect on where you might be chasing the same result the same way and what your next move could be instead.

As a biographer, Judy has dedicated her work to uncovering the stories of women who have made significant contributions to history, particularly in the realm of health activism. Her latest book, "Radical Sisters," highlights the lives of influential figures such as Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder, showcasing how their personal battles with breast cancer helped to ignite a movement that demanded attention and respect for women's health issues. One of the most striking aspects of our discussion is Judy's insight into the emotional courage that women exhibit. She argues that while traditional definitions of courage often lean towards physical bravery, the emotional strength displayed by women in their fight against illness and societal norms is equally significant. This theme resonates throughout her work, as she emphasizes the need for women to speak up and share their stories, transforming their experiences into powerful narratives that inspire others. This episode is not just a testimony to one woman's journey; it's a celebration of the strength and courage found in the collective experiences of women throughout history. Tune in to hear Judy's insights and to be inspired to share your own story, because every narrative matters. It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!

A riotious comic novel of ideas, Seven tells the story of an unnamed philosopher plunged into the strange world of Theodoros Apostalakis: dentist, poet, pursuer of lost things, and obsessive player of 'Seven', a revered board game whose champions struggle to hold onto what is most valuable in human life in the face of Artificial Intelligence. Blending academic satire, travel writing, farce, and philosophy into a singular, intoxicating brew, Seven is a literary novel that stretches the boundaries of the form and cannot be adequately explained in a bilateral podcast interview with the author: nevertheless, we attempt to do so in this episode.

Andrew Zimmern is an Emmy-winning, James Beard Award-winning chef, television host, author, and global food advocate. Recognized from the wildly popular show Bizarre Foods, Andrew explores culture through cuisine. And yet before the success, Andrew's life was marked by addiction, homelessness, and hard-won second chances that eventually led him towards his purpose. Today, Andrew shares how curiosity saved his life, why asking for help became his turning point, and how food became the lens through which he learned to see people, cultures, and himself more clearly. He opens up about childhood trauma, addiction and recovery, forgiveness, and how choosing "and" instead of "but" can change the way we hold both pain and hope at the same time. My friends, if you've ever felt stuck in your past, ashamed of your mistakes, or unsure how to begin again, this conversation is for you. You'll leave this episode reminded that you are not your worst chapter, that curiosity can reopen closed doors, and that second chances are not rare… they're available to anyone brave enough to ask for help and keep going.

If you haven't seen the Apple TV Series "Drops of God", you must change that quickly. This is, in my opinion, the single best wine show/movie ever done. It's not hokey, it shows wine in a realistic and good light, and it's a cool story.   The show, whose first season dropped in 2023, won the International Emmy Awards for Best Drama Series and has been praised for its beautiful cinematography, skilled acting, and accurate portrayal of certain elements of the wine world. It's actually based on a Japanese manga series of the same name that was wildly popular.    Season one was so successful that Drops of God was renewed for a second season, which is currently unfolding week after week on Apple TV. Season one is still available for you to watch if you missed it.  In this show, I sit down with Sebastien "Seb" Pradal, who was the man behind all the wine knowledge in this show. He worked with the writers and actors to get all the facts and details of the wines right.    Although he won the very prestigious Best Young Sommelier of France in 1997, Seb took the entrepreneurial route instead of working as a somm. He leads a wine distribution and consulting agency, owns the fine dining restaurant La Petite Régalade in Paris, where he showcases French gastronomy and highlights independent producers and cool wines, and he imports French wines into Mexico and Colombia.   He was selected by the writers working on "Drops of God" to help them make the series true to the wine world in a non-snobby way. He was charged with making all wine-related activities authentic, and we worked closely with the actors to teach them about wine, wine tasting, and the wine world (he told me offline that the actors now order and drink wine regularly and know their way around a list!).   This podcast will give you a rare glimpse into why this show is so successful in portraying the wine world when many others have fallen short. And that glimpse really is all about Seb Pradal and his contributions to the show. He is a delightful person and shares some fun insider information about the inner workings of how a production of this caliber gets made.    As promised, here are the links we mention in the show: Seb's Paris restaurant:  La Petite Régalade Georgian wine Seb calls his "Grail": Marani Ruispiri, Giorgi Aladashvini Information on Lignage grape: Lignage and Clos du Tue-Boeuf     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   This show is brought to you by my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access – THE place to discover your next favorite bottle.

Andrea Beaty is an award-winning children's author. Before she became known for her curious and clever characters in Rosie Revere, Engineer, and Ada Twist, Scientist, she was on track for a career in STEM. In college, Beaty studied biology and computer science, and then went on to work at a software company. Her start in writing came when she volunteered to write a tech support newsletter for a customer audience. The job helped Beaty hone her skills as a writer and copy editor years before she decided to try her hand at fiction. She started by writing stories inspired by the books she read to her kids before getting published in the 2000s. Since then, Beaty's work has landed her on the New York Times Best Sellers list multiple times and has even been adapted into an award-winning Netflix animated series. She often credits her time as a technical writer as what gave her the skills to break down big concepts and life lessons for kids. Now, more than 20 years after her first book was written, Beaty shows no signs of slowing down with more stories on the way this year.
