If you have an idea nudging your soul and showing up in your daydreams and journal entries, THIS is your sign that you're meant to do it. Today's episode is a full-circle moment for me: Sarah Cassidy was a Euphoric client in 2020, and not only did I help her change her relationship with alcohol, but we also planted the seeds of an even bigger purpose… to become an author. Five years later, and she's done it: Swaddled: Sage Stories to Wrap Mothers in Love is an incredibly raw and unfiltered collection of stories about motherhood, from the celebratory moments of rediscovering your identity after postpartum anxiety, to finding grace after pregnancy loss. In our conversation, Sarah reveals how this beautiful dream became a reality, from battling imposter syndrome and years of self-doubt, to silencing her inner critic and finding belonging in a writing community. When I work with a client, I root for them forever. I love to see them soar, and I am moved by these movements and messages they put out into the world. Having Sarah here to share this enormous success story gives me all the feels. IN THIS EPISODE: Sarah's lifelong dream to write a book, which had been buried deep since childhood and sparked again through alcohol-free clarity The "veil-lifting" effect of ditching alcohol, and how it unleashed Sarah's deep wish to write a book and help other mothers by sharing stories about motherhood Sarah's account of battling imposter syndrome and perfectionism, and the self-worth mantra that she carried around in her pocket How alcohol is often glossed over as a solution for mothers' struggles in "mommy juice culture" and what true support and healing look like instead LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED In this episode, we talk about Sarah's beautiful book, Swaddled: Sage Stories to Wrap Mothers in Love; check it out.

US Escalates Pressure on Maduro Following Machado's Nobel Prize. Evan Ellis discusses how, following the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to opposition leader María Corina Machado, the US escalated pressure on Venezuela. President Trump authorized CIA operations, coupled with naval deployments and B-52 overflights, to pressure the Maduro regime.

Admitted to legal practice in Australia and the United Kingdom, he has worked in the intellectual property departments of law firms in Melbourne and London.

He currently chairs the Trans-Tasman IP Attorneys Board, the regulator of the Australian and New Zealand patent attorney profession.Abstract: With more than 18 million patents for inventions in force across 140 jurisdictions, patents are a significant area of the law. However, the traditional justifications for having a patent system are incomplete, and do not take full account of developments in economic thinking that recognise the primary purpose of economics is to enhance human wellbeing. The primary purpose of patents should be likewise. There is sparse academic and policy literature on the relevance of wellbeing economics to patent policy, and what exists leaves unanswered many questions about how the patent system can be used to achieve this policy objective. This presentation answers those questions, by tracing the evolution of wellbeing economics, identifying the doctrinal levers available to implement patent policy, and providing practical examples of the application of those levers to ensure the patent system incentivises innovations that advance wellbeing.For more information see: https://www.cipil.law.cam.ac.uk/seminars-and-events/cipil-seminars

It's Thursday, October 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British Christian teacher fired for Facebook post about Islamic violence A British Christian teacher, who was unjustly  fired, shared his testimony at a Reform UK party free speech conference last week. Simon Pearson had a 20-year unblemished teaching record. However, Preston College dismissed him last year for allegedly being “Islamaphobic.” He had simply expressed concern on Facebook over violent crime and political bias. Pearson is challenging his dismissal with the help of the Christian Legal Centre.  Listen to his comments at the free speech conference. PEARSON: “Previously, I've worked as a missionary in a communist country where freedom of speech and religion are tightly controlled. I know what it means to live under a regime where truth is suppressed and conscience is punished. “I never imagined I would face similar pressures in the United Kingdom, a country built on the foundations of liberty, of justice and of Christian values. I'm fighting for justice, not just for myself, but for every teacher, for every Christian and every citizen who fears that their voice no longer matters and they are being silenced.” Young people of Northern Ireland more open to Christianity Speaking of the United Kingdom, young people in Northern Ireland are leading a revival of interest in Christianity, according to a poll by The Iona Institute. The survey found 18-24-year-olds in Northern Ireland are more likely to have a very positive attitude toward Christianity than any other age group. These findings are similar to studies of young people in Ireland, Britain, and the United States. Gen Z boys most likely to believe that Jesus is way to Heaven Here in America, the Barna Group released new research from its ongoing State of the Church initiative.  Surveys show that Gen Z is increasingly open to Christian faith. However, among young people, women are the most likely to disengage from church, prayer, and belief.  Meanwhile, young men and especially teenage boys are the least likely to identify as having no faith among young people. They are also the most likely to believe in God and that Jesus Christ is the only way to God. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Fewer young Americans identifying as “transgender” Here some more good news. Trans identification is declining among young people in America. Eric Kaufmann, a Canadian professor of politics, posted the findings on Tuesday. His analysis is based on multiple data sets, including those from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. The data shows 3.6% of undergraduates identify as a gender other than male or female. That's down from 5.2% in 2024 and 6.8% in 2022.  The data sets also showed young people are becoming less likely to identify as something other than heterosexual.  Trump posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk Presidential Medal of Freedom President Donald Trump posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday. Kirk's widow, Erika, received the nation's highest civilian medal on his behalf on what would have been his 32nd birthday.  The ceremony comes about a month after the Christian activist was fatally shot while speaking at an event for his organization, Turning Point USA.  Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “Charlie never missed an opportunity to remind us of the Judeo-Christian principles of our nation's founding or to share his deep Christian faith. In his final moments, Charlie testified to the greatness of America and to the glory of our Savior with Whom he now rests in Heaven. Anniversary of martyrdom of two English reformers And finally, today is the anniversary of the martyrdom of two English Reformers. Their names were Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley. Both were bishops in the Church of England. Ridley was born in 1502, becoming a great scholar and renouncing Roman Catholic doctrine. Latimer was born earlier in 1485. He became a great Reformation preacher, also rejecting Catholic traditions. His preaching brought Protestant teachings effectively to the middle and lower classes. However, a Catholic queen came to power in England in 1553. She was known as “Bloody Mary” for her deadly persecution of Protestants. After her ascension to power, Latimer and Ridley were tried for their beliefs and burned at the stake on October 16, 1555. As they faced death together, Latimer told his friend, “Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.” In Romans 8:36-37, the Apostle Paul wrote, “As it is written: ‘For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.' Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 16th, in the year of our Lord 2025, the 60th wedding anniversary of my parents, Mike and Harriet McManus, with whom I will celebrate this very weekend.  Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 15, 2025. 0:30 We tackle a fiery moment from the U.S. Supreme Court as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s comments ignite debate over race, equality, and the limits of government intervention. Have America’s efforts to “fix” racism through legislation—like the Voting Rights Act and redistricting—gone too far? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. A judge in San Francisco has placed another universal injunction on President Trump, this time over firing government workers during the government shutdown. The Supreme Court heard arguments today in a Louisiana redistricting case that could drastically alter the balance of power in the House of Representatives, and change how congressional districts are drawn at the state level. Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep, announced it's expanding its manufacturing base in the United States. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 The conversation turns to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s comparison between the Voting Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. We question the logic of equating race with disability and explore what equality truly means in a constitutional sense. 16:30 We ask the American Mamas about the ceremony where Charlie Kirk was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Mamas share their admiration for Erica Kirk’s extraordinary strength and grace in the face of loss — and for a president who made it a priority to honor her husband’s legacy. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 When is upholding “international law” really just targeting America’s allies? That's exactly what’s happening when New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani calls for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 25:30 We Dig Deep into a new report from the Center for Heterodox Social Science that shows that trans and queer identification among college students has nearly cut in half since 2023.

Today, the alcohol-free industry is worth $1.6 TRILLION dollars and counting, with celebrities, wellness icons, and millions of women joining the movement. Not long ago, choosing to not drink meant you were labeled, questioned, or told you'd “never have fun again.” How times have changed.  I've had the incredible honor of watching this glow-up since I took my first break from alcohol 7.5 years ago. At the time, around 10% of the population didn't drink. Now? That number has soared to 25%. This episode is all about how we got here, from what it was like to go alcohol-free when options were scarce, the fascinating data behind this global shift, and what this means for our culture moving forward. 7.5 years ago, I'd drive an hour just to find a decent AF stout, but today, there are options EVERYWHERE: restaurants, grocery stores, online, and it's only growing with endorsements from influencers like Katy Perry and Tom Holland, who have their own AF brands.  If you go alcohol-free today, you are an early adopter and an innovator. Join us inside Euphoric the Club, the premier community of successful, alcohol-free women (and the women who are becoming them), and apply for the next round of the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program, which starts in TWO DAYS.   IN THIS EPISODE: The alcohol-free movement leapt from taboo to trend and why NOT drinking is a modern status symbol, not a social stigma Jaw-dropping stats; for example, 25% of Americans haven't touched alcohol in the past year, and 50% plan to drink less The rise of alcohol-free beverages and how innovative brands and celebrities have turned not drinking into the coolest option in the room Why I think the alcohol-free movement is one of the biggest wellness trends for coming generations (plus, looking at the potential of YOUR influence on the people you know)   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED If you know you're meant to help other people change their relationship with alcohol and achieve deep healing (along with their bigger dreams), apply for the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program – and get 5x certified as a world class alcohol-free empowerment coach, mindset coach, success coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnosis practitioner.

I went VIRAL! I've been talking about entrepreneurship and the alcohol-free lifestyle on social media for years, but recently, something I said hit a deep chord: The universe hand-selected you to ditch alcohol because of how massive your purpose on this planet is.  Something in those words clicked for thousands of women — and honestly, I get it. Most women who feel called to this path are visionaries who know they're meant for something bigger. Before I quit drinking 7 years ago, I constantly battled writer's block, but the moment I took a break, it was like a creative floodgate burst open of ideas, inspiration, and energy.  In this episode, you'll discover how that decision unlocks life-changing gifts, from the obvious (like glowing health and renewed energy) to the unexpected (a deep well of confidence and razor-sharp intuition)! Gorgeous, you KNOW you were made for more. If going alcohol-free has awakened something powerful in you, it's because you're meant to guide others too. Join the next round of the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program.    IN THIS EPISODE: Why I believe the universe hand selects certain women to reevaluate alcohol (because their purpose is colossal and world-changing!)

Ordinary coaches hang out on Zoom. Trailblazers? They get in the room. I'll never stop believing this: the most life-changing transformations, wildest epiphanies, and deepest connections don't happen online. They happen face-to-face. It's why my signature Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program  incorporates an in-person retreat. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I brought together the most incredible alcohol-free leaders to this certification retreat in Palm Springs and helped them transform into 6-figure business owners. The 5X retreat is always an emotional weekend for me. It's when I finally get to hug everyone in person and create a magical, shared experience, complete with sound baths, meditation, spontaneous jumps into the pool with our clothes on, and our “Come as You'll Be” party where we embody our five-year future selves. Our retreats draw leaders from ALL over the world (UK, Germany, South Africa, even Bali!) and this special weekend becomes the anchor that fuels their mindset and soul-level conviction long after they fly home. If you want to be part of this special sisterhood and step into your own transformation, jump into the next round of the certification program. I hope to meet you at the next retreat in Dana Point.    IN THIS EPISODE: Why in-person retreats (not endless Zoom calls!) — are what I SWEAR by for transformational breakthroughs and launching 6-figure coaching businesses Behind the scenes at these retreats: exclusive pool parties, soul-anchoring rituals like the “Come As You'll Be” party, and the infamous red bracelet manifestation ritual Why an epic vision (not “safe” baby steps!) is essential if you want to become a sought-after thought leader Why alcohol-free living is only going to get bigger as time goes on, with 50% of Americans now saying they want to drink less or not at all   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED If you know you're meant to help other people change their relationship with alcohol and achieve deep healing (along with their bigger dreams), apply for the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program – and get 5x certified as a world class alcohol-free coach, mindset coach, success coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnosis practitioner.

The High Performance Incentive Program (HPIP) allows qualifying businesses to earn state income tax credits based on their expenditures on employee training and education and on qualifying capital investments. We couldn't report how much HPIP credit businesses earned and used in recent years because of reliability issues with KDOR's HPIP data. We identified inconsistencies in the data that KDOR officials told us they were trying to resolve.The Kansas Affordable Housing Tax Credit (KAHTC) is a state income tax credit that matches the federal low-income housing tax credit. Both credits help subsidize the creation of affordable rental housing. The Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) administers both credits. Since 2023, when the KAHTC was first allowed, KHRC has awarded rental housing development projects about $73 million in KAHTC credits. It may award an additional $34 million in tax credits by the time the KAHTC ends in 2028. At the time of our audit, no taxpayers had used the KAHTC to reduce their income tax liabilities. However, they will likely begin doing so soon. Over the next approximately 15 years, taxpayers' use of KAHTC credit awards may result in the state forgoing about $1 billion in income tax revenues.

Let's bust the myth that sophistication and wine are synonymous. For years, Natalie Halt was a sommelier with a deep passion and professional stake in wine. But behind the polished image came blackouts, burnout, and a deep longing for something more. Her shift to spiritual alcohol-free leader and 5X Certified Coach is proof that the answer to fulfillment isn't moderation: it's unlocking a deeper purpose, celebrating small rituals, and finding meaning beyond the glass. Natalie is a renaissance woman who has done so much in her life, and in this episode, she shares her extraordinary story as well as her enormous identity shift which inspired the launch of her program Sacred Rebellion, for women who want more than alcohol can offer. She'll also reveal how she navigates ADHD and motherhood, and why she decided to become a leader in this space. This is something I preach often: by the time you're 8 weeks alcohol-free, why not turn into the teacher and become the leader you were always meant to be? Apply now for the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program and learn how to turn your journey into a movement that changes lives.   IN THIS EPISODE: Natalie's wild ride from professional sommelier (where swirling, sniffing, and sipping was an identity), to alcohol-free revolutionary pioneering Switzerland's sober movement The myths and realities of “sophisticated” drinking and the eye-opening truth about moderation How Natalie's journey through ADHD, motherhood, athletic setbacks, and career pivots led her to embrace spirituality, ritual, and sacred rebellion The surprising power in becoming the teacher (not just the student), which can better fuel personal growth and spark change in others Inside the “witchy, alcohol-free” space Natalie's carving out with Sacred Rebellion: think full moon rituals, sacred movement, hypnosis, and storytelling as medicine   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Visit nataliehalt.com, follow her on Instagram, and join the Sacred Rebellion: The Method, a 12-week program that starts September 15.
