Podcasts about The Bahamas

In this episode, I'm recording my intro from the Bahamas on the FemmeLand cruise, getting ready to host a live LTTA podcast on the boat, and reflecting on the season I'm walking out of — what I call blind, blissful ignorance — and the season I'm walking into: spiritual sight and awareness. I talk honestly about what it means to finally see clearly — to see myself, to see others for who they truly are, and to confront the ugly parts in my own heart instead of pretending they're not there.Then I sit down with my sister Serayah McNeill, and we go deep. From being homeless right before booking Empire, to living in hotels, to breaking survival cycles, to navigating imposter syndrome, therapy, comparison, love, motherhood, and healing inside of a relationship — this conversation is raw, layered, and honest. We talk about shedding old identities, letting go of comparison, releasing self-inflicted pressure, and choosing purpose over performance. This episode is about moving from survival to thriving — and doing the inner work that makes the thriving sustainable.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!

From a chance meeting at a White Fox event to sharing rooms in the Bahamas, this episode dives deep into the long-distance friendship between two teens navigating life, social media, and growing up in completely different states. They open up about how their bond grew on a Bahamas trip, the early communication struggles and the instant trust they felt as two of the youngest girls sharing a room. They reflect on first impressions and why having a friend who understands the social media world feels different. The girls and Kat wrap with advice for making new friends: talk to everyone, find your people, keep your circle small, and most importantly that real friendships can grow anywhere… even over Baja Blast.

In the cases we cover, there are types of relationship that frequently crop up between killer and victim, romantic partners or romantic rivals most of all. Sometimes, though, the relationship that is broken by murder is more shocking: a parent killing a child, or a child killing a parent. And sometimes that killer is still literally a child, someone you would never suspect to be capable of such brutal action. Case 1: The Murder of Jackie Bartlam. Case 2: The Murder of Gina Padilla. Tickets are on sale now for CrimeWave 2.0! Visit crimewaveatsea.com/CAMPFIRE to book your cabin, plus get $100 off and a private meet-and-greet with us!

The Supreme Court just kneecapped Trump's "tariffs by emergency" strategy, and Nate and Chuck break down why that's actually a huge win for limiting presidential power. They dig into the scary argument hiding underneath it: if "regulate" secretly means "tax," then any president can invent arbitrary taxes across the entire federal regulatory state. Not great when the next "emergency" is climate, guns, or whatever cable news is screaming about. Then the show pivots to the MAGA vs MAHA fracture over glyphosate and Roundup. An executive order, a farm bill immunity push, and the ugly Monsanto paper trail that explains why people don't trust "the experts."

Darren Clarke has caught 19 permit on a fly—a feat arguably more impressive than winning The Open Championship. Sitting down with Tom Coyne in the Bahamas at his home in The Abaco Club, Clarke happily explains his dual obsessions. He's not just a boisterous Irishman you'd like to meet at a pub, he remains driven by catching the world's most difficult fish and beating the world's best golfers. Clarke opens up about raising his boys after losing their mother and reflects on the miracle of bringing The Open to Royal Portrush following his upbringing during The Troubles. He also breaks down what went wrong at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage and offers a simple solution for Hazeltine. Along the way: the Theodore Roosevelt quote that's driven him for 37 years, the difference between European sarcasm and American heckling, and the joys of living in paradise.

This week on Screaming in the Cloud, Corey sits down with Chris Hill, CEO of Humble Pod, to talk about the messy, nuanced reality of AI in media. From secretly cloning Corey's voice for an ad using ElevenLabs (and almost getting away with it) to the growing tension between polished production and authentic content, they unpack what AI can actually do versus what it claims to do.They explore the shifting economics of podcasting, the rise of video-first formats, Netflix's entrance into the space, and why “good enough” production often beats expensive studio perfection.

California, once a powerhouse of domestic energy production, now finds itself increasingly reliant on foreign fuel sources. Driven by stringent environmental regulations and policies that have led to the closure of numerous refineries, the state is now importing fuel to meet its energy demands. This shift raises critical questions about energy independence and the true cost of California's climate initiatives. Is this a sustainable path forward, or are these policies undermining the state's energy security and driving up costs for consumers? We explore the implications of California's energy policies and their impact on the state's economy and its citizens. It's time to examine the facts and ask: Are California's green dreams turning into an energy nightmare?

Sorry for the haitus everyone! Let me explain why here in this episode description that no one reads. Firstly, baby Bennett caught a nasty cough that caused him to barf every time he coughed. THEN, I went to Bahamas where it was -40 degrees and I went on the biggest bender of my life at 34 years old. THEN I had a funeral - so needless to say, we've been STACKED with hardship!!! Especially my deluxe trip to Bahamas! Anyway, we are back, sorry about that - next time we will communicate better yada yada yada (but will we? we're abusive, and you like it). 

Aida Wang is a top-billing legal recruiter at Just Legal who specialises in private practice placements for bengoshi (Japan-qualified lawyers). With a unique background as a professional translator and interpreter between English and Mandarin Chinese, Aida brings a fresh perspective on bridging communication gaps - not just between languages, but between lawyers and law firms.Aida shares practical advice on deal sheets, career planning, and why speaking to a recruiter from day one of your legal career journey in Japan can change your career trajectory.If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway. Head over to Apple Podcasts to leave a review and we'd love it if you would leave us a message here!In this episode you'll hear:The critical importance of creating and maintaining a deal sheet from day one of your careerWhy you should speak to a recruiter early in your career, not just when you're actively lookingThe biggest misconception about Japanese bengoshi lawyers How Aida helps candidates and clients create compelling stories to help find a perfect matchAbout AidaAida Wang is a Tokyo-based legal recruiter specialising in Bengoshi (Japan-qualified lawyer) searches for private practice, with a particular focus on supporting  associates and counsels as they navigate the critical transition points in their legal careers.Currently a Principal Consultant at Just Legal, Aida works with both Japanese and international law firms, recruiting Japanese Bengoshi and foreign-qualified attorneys across a wide range of practice areas. She is known for her thoughtful, relationship-driven approach and for offering market insight that goes well beyond simply filling roles. In her first quarter at Just Legal, Aida quickly made her mark as a top biller which is a reflection of her proactive mindset, deep preparation, and ability to truly understand both candidates and clients.Before moving into legal recruitment, Aida spent over a decade working as a Chinese–English freelance translator and interpreter, including roles in media, film, and news translation. This earlier career laid the foundation for what has become a defining theme of her professional life: bridging gaps - between languages, cultures, expectations, and ultimately, legal careers. Her background in interpreting gives her a rare ability to listen carefully, read between the lines, and translate what lawyers want into what the market is really asking for.Aida holds a Bachelor's degree from National Chengchi University in Taiwan, along with a Master's degree in Interpreting and Translation from the University of Bath in the UK. She has also completed Japanese language studies at Keio University. Having lived and worked in Taiwan, the Bahamas, the United States, the UK, and Japan, she brings a genuinely global perspective to her work. She is a native speaker of Mandarin and English, with business-level Japanese, and regularly supports cross-border legal careers in the Japanese market.Through her conversations with Bengoshi across multiple practice areas, Aida frequently hears one recurring challenge: how to develop clients and bring in work before holding a partner title. This insight shapes much of her advisory work with senior associates who are thinking carefully about long-term career sustainability, visibility, and progression within private practice.Outside of work, Aida enjoys cooking and crafting with her eight-year-old son, a creative counterbalance to her professional life that reflects the same curiosity and care she brings to her career.Connect with AidaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hsinyuaidawang/ Just Legal: https://www.justsearchgroup.com/justlegal/consultants/aida-wang LinksAfternoon Tea: https://www.afternoon-tea.net/ Connect with Catherine LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/oconnellcatherine/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawyeronair

Today, we dive into Dan Hill's 1977 mega-ballad, "Sometimes When We Touch." Often labeled the ultimate "weeper," this track explores themes of masculine fragility and raw vulnerability. These concepts commonplace today but groundbreaking for the late 1970s. We discuss how a 19-year-old Hill penned these intense lyrics to compete for the affection of a polyamorous woman who was simultaneously dating a professional football player and a photographer. We also examine the song's unlikely collaboration with songwriter Barry Mann, which helped propel the track to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 during a week otherwise dominated by the Bee Gees. From death-defying encounters involving a gun in the Bahamas to a hostage-like bowling incident, we explore how Hill endured his "albatross" until he recognized it as an open door to a world of opportunities. Join us as we analyze the lyrics and determine if this polarizing hit is truly a guilt-free pleasure or simply "too effing intense" for the average listener! 1970s video 1990s video SCTV "High Q" Sketch Thank you for listening!

EP-171 Tropic Air Rescue - Tony MarinelloAre you planning a cruising trip to the Bahamas? While the islands are beautiful, medical infrastructure can be scarce. In this episode, we sit down with Tony Marinello, a retired New York State Trooper and the founder of Tropic Air Rescue, to discuss a critical safety gap for sailors and travelers in the Bahamas.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The Danger Gap: Tony explains that once you go east of the U.S., you are essentially in a "third-world country" regarding medical care. With only three hospitals across 700 islands, getting help for a stroke, heart attack, or trauma can be life-threatening.Why Helicopters Matter: Unlike fixed-wing airplanes that require airports and ambulance transfers, Tropic Air Rescue utilizes helicopters to fly directly from the scene of the injury to trauma centers in Florida. They are the only operator with medical teams standing by 24/7, ready to launch immediately.Affordable Peace of Mind: We break down the membership model. For roughly $500 a month per couple, members receive immediate evacuation services without upfront payment, as the company bills your insurance directly.Entrepreneurial Insights: Tony shares his journey of identifying a massive market gap—the complete lack of helicopter air ambulances in the Bahamas—and offers advice on validating business ideas.Whether you are sailing, boating, or vacationing in the Bahamas, this is a service you need to know about before you leave the dock.Links & Resources:Tropic Air Rescue: tropicairrescue.comKeywords: Bahamas Sailing, Tropic Air Rescue, Emergency Medical Transport, Helicopter Rescue, Bahamas Cruising, Travel Safety, Medical Evacuation, Entrepreneurship, Boating Safety.If you enjoyed this episode, please hit the like button and subscribe!Email: sailingtheeast@gmail.com Happy Sailing!Bela and Mike

Joined by Vice President of Investment Pamela Ferguson and Investment Manager Lashel White, the trio reflect on how historically when gold starts to climb, it’s a critical signal about confidence.

In this powerful episode of All Talk Oncology, Kenny Perkins (Your Cancer Guy) sits down with LaShae Rolle, a PhD researcher from The Bahamas who was diagnosed with multicentric breast cancer at just 26 years old. LaShae shares her unique perspective of being both a scientist in the field and a patient in the clinic, proving that strength comes in many forms. LaShae opens up about: Her life as a competitive powerlifter and researcher before her world was shifted by a diagnosis at age 26. How she used her knowledge of lifestyle factors—diet, protein intake, and exercise—to prepare her body for the "battle" of chemotherapy and surgery. Navigating treatment decisions, such as opting for a unilateral mastectomy and freezing her eggs, based on clinical research and long-term goals. Maintaining her powerlifting routine and squatting over 400lbs even during chemotherapy to combat fatigue and maintain bone health. How surviving cancer led her to adopt a "you only live once" mindset, focusing on advocacy and living life to the max. The importance of adolescent and young adult (AYA) support groups and using social media to connect with other survivors. This episode is a testament to the resilience of young survivors and a guide for anyone looking to take an active, empowered role in their own healing journey.

In this episode of The Unconventional Path, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman sit down with Tony Marinello, a retired New York State Trooper who turned a "retirement vacation" into a high-stakes, life-saving aviation venture. When Tony bought a small cargo airline to the Bahamas, he never expected to found the region's first-ever dedicated helicopter air ambulance service.+4While living in the United States often guarantees rapid emergency response, Tony realized that the 700 islands of the Bahamas tell a different story. After a pilot called him about a passenger potentially suffering a stroke on a remote island, Tony spent hours trying to find an air ambulance, only to discover that no such service existed for the region. Faced with the reality that medical help was days—not minutes—away, Tony decided to pivot his entire business model.+4Tony's background as a rescue helicopter pilot for 21 years gave him the expertise needed to navigate this complex industry. However, the "odyssey" to launch Tropic Air Rescue took two years of securing licenses, purchasing helicopters, and hiring a specialized medical team of doctors and paramedics. Today, the company provides emergency medical evacuation from the Bahamas back to top-tier trauma centers in Florida, including Fort Lauderdale and Miami.+4Because traditional air ambulance flights can cost tens of thousands of dollars out-of-pocket, Tony designed a membership-based system. For a yearly fee, members (including boaters, second-home owners, and tourists) gain access to:+124/7 Emergency Response: A dedicated team ready to launch at a moment's notice.Direct Transport: Evacuation from remote islands or vessels directly to specialized U.S. hospitals.+1Specialized Care: Transport to facilities with experts in everything from shark injuries to stroke and cardiac care.+1Tony's story is a powerful example of identifying a desperate need and fulfilling it. He shares insights into the challenges of starting a service-oriented business later in life and the importance of having a clear mission. Whether you are an entrepreneur looking for a new niche or a traveler heading to the Caribbean, Tony's "unconventional path" offers vital lessons on grit and preparation.+3Learn more about Tropic Air Rescue: tropicrescue.comOur podcast is now available on YouTube.

Once you reach a certain level, there is no ‘better'…it's different.”   Released on August 19, 1983, FLICK OF THE SWITCH (the 9th studio album by AC/DC and the 3rd featuring Brian Johnson on the mic) is what some fans might call their “White Album” (arriving after their “Black Album” and “Bronze Album”, respectively), showing a black and white grayscale drawing of a lone Angus pulling down some massive power, so to speak.   “That's literally ‘Bad To The Bone' and ‘In My Time Of Dying'…”   While self-produced by the band and containing a much rawer production and drier mix than the ultra-produced Mutt Lange masterpieces which came before it, FLICK OF THE SWITCH is a back-to-basics approach showing the band embracing more of their earlier blues based sound while still remaining faithful to the signature, high-energy, up-tempo jams which have become their calling card. It's loud, straight ahead, and powerful, and while perhaps not as uber popular as the 3 albums that preceded it, FLICK is still very much an important album in the AC/DC catalog and one that would serve as a “connector” between where they had been and where they were headed.   “We could have a rated R show…it doesn't have to be X…”   We're finally back on track after getting derailed by the weather. Always remember to “wait ‘til it has some viscosity to it…” and then JOIN US for a “night time” dive into the album that would serve as the bridge into the next era of AC/DC with “The White Album” known as FLICK OF THE SWITCH.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast More ACDC Episodes: https://www.metalnerdery.com/acdc   Show Notes: (00:01): #selfconsciousness / “Hold on…you don't know what you're asking for…”/ #darkcomedy / “It's kinda like…being in a cover band and having you guys show up when we play #POISON…”/ #carriesunderwear / “I need a rage truck…”/ “I like doing it…it's fun…”/ “A little bit…only if you push back…”/ ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised ***/  “Synching up…locking in…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST (NIGHT TIME EDITION) ***/ #coveryourmouth / “I'm building up my immunity system…”/ “It could have been me…”/ #AIDSFlu / “It takes a flu nap is what you're saying…”/ #homemadelube / “Wait til it has some viscosity to it…” (05:55): EMAIL US at metalnerdery@gmail.com & PATREON US at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast / #HailToTheBenton / “Dude, the Hog Story is worth the price of admission…”/ “Oh yeah…when we get done…I need to show you guys something…”/ “It's like zazz and zhuzh…”/ #NWOOSTM / “Here's what I hate about Marshalls…”/ #Traitor REACTOR IV (Venomizer – 2016) / #1986 / #incomplete /  “You know what dude, that's the best #BackstreetBoys song…”/ #Enmy – LEDGE / #melody / “It's the hard stop…and then super soft…”/ #markthetime / “I wasn't expecting to like that…”/ “No Slayer of the Episode?”/ #anush #penish / #SlayerOfTheEpisode / #Slayer HALLOWED POINT (Seasons In The Abyss – 1990) / “And just like that…all is right in the world…”/ “It's all 7's…” (22:47): #TheDocket METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS:  AC/DC – FLICK OF THE SWITCH / #ACDC #TheWhiteAlbum / “I don't remember being 10 and listening to AC/DC…” “It's black and white in grayscale…”/ Released August 19, 1983 / “Doing AC/DC always takes me back to childhood…”/ “In the For…Flick…Fly category, Flick is in the middle there…” / “It's 3-D and you can feel the texture…”/ Recorded in Nassau, The Bahamas with Robert John “Mutt” Lange / “He's the Bob Rock of the 80's…”/ “Their sound is menopause…”/ RISING POWER / “I feel like it was a little slow to start…”/ “#Pyromania btw was January 20 (1983)…”/ “I don't know what that is: a desert vagina kinda…”/ THIS HOUSE IS ON FIRE / “They should have swapped those two…”/ “Mega ultra mother fucking super stardom…” (33:23): FLICK OF THE SWITCH / “I think every band has a ‘connector' album…”/ “That's a good episode…3 albums in a row…”/ “Use penal clean…”/ NERVOUS SHAKEDOWN “Two words…slower and sleazier…”/ “You know what the leading cause of death is for nymphomaniacs is?”/ “We could have a Rated R show…it doesn't have to be X…”/ #killercloser / LANDSLIDE / “What a great closer for Side 1…”/ “That riff…reminded me of this…”/ PLAYING WITH GIRLS (Fly On The Wall – 1985) / “I try to hold this thing together…” (38:38): GUNS FOR HIRE / “Turn this up to loud…” / “Once you reach a certain level, there is no ‘better'…it's just different.”/ DEEP IN THE HOLE / “I'm over A.I…”/  “I cup the balls, I go all the way…”   (45:34): BEDLAM IN BELGIUM / “Side 2 better than Side 1…” / “It's really close to ‘Fly On The Wall'…” / BADLANDS / “That's literally ‘Bad To The Bone' and ‘In My Time Of Dying'…”/ “I feel like he does that in the studio…”/ SG vs Les Paul / #markthetime / BRAINSHAKE / #killercloser / “That sounds like an AC/DC closer…”/ “It's only 8 minutes longer than Reign In Blood…”/ “It sounds like a good bridge to ‘Fly On The Wall'…”/ “It's the bridge between the old and the next…”/ Bands with great 3-album runs / THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!!!/ #untilthenext #outroreel

Jeff Gross sits down with long-time friend and poker powerhouse Gabriel Andrade following his monumental $5 million score at the WSOP Paradise in the Atlantis. Gabriel opens up about the emotional weight of his recent success, transitioning from a "cash game undercover" player to a tournament specialist, and the financial struggles he overcame to reach this peak. He shares incredible stories from his past—from delivering pizzas and surviving a robbery in Oklahoma to the "angels" like Bill Perkins who supported him during his lowest points. The two also discuss Gabriel's unique "no-solver" approach to the game, his studies in hypnotherapy, and his goal of giving back through pro-bono mental health work.

Top Stories for January 31st Publish Date: January 31st PRE-ROLL: KIA Mall Of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 31st and Happy Birthday to Jackie Robinson I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Lanier Islands Resort—where love stories seem to write themselves. With over a dozen dreamy indoor and outdoor wedding venues, it’s no wonder this lakeside gem has been the backdrop for countless “I do’s.” And this year? Valentine’s Day lands on a Saturday, making it the perfect excuse for a romantic escape. For couples looking to make a weekend of it, the resort’s Valentine’s Romantic Getaway has all the swoon-worthy details: champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, cozy accommodations, a multi-course dinner at Sidney’s overlooking the lake, and breakfast the next morning. Want more? There’s spa treatments, snow fun at Margaritaville, or even a game day at Game Changer. Planning to pop the question? The resort’s wedding consultants can help you nail the moment, from finding the perfect spot to booking a photographer. Love is definitely in the air at Lanier Islands. STORY 2: Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Students across Gwinnett County are walking out of class, protesting immigration enforcement and the fear it’s brought into their schools. The district is trying to balance it all—supporting students’ voices while keeping things safe and orderly. The protests come as frustration grows nationwide over ICE’s actions, including the deaths of two U.S. citizens. Some students say they’re scared to even show up to school. The district reiterated its policy: ICE can’t enter non-public areas of schools without a judge-signed warrant. But fear lingers. Enrollment has dropped by thousands since ICE activity ramped up in 2025, according to the Gwinnett County Association of Educators. For now, GCPS is working with students to keep protests peaceful and on-campus. STORY 3: Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville When Scott McCray first set his sights on expanding his restaurant footprint, downtown Lawrenceville wasn’t exactly buzzing. “It was quiet—really quiet,” he said. “Not much going on, but I saw potential.” That was back in the early 2000s, when the corner spot he wanted—a beat-up old drugstore—wasn’t even available. So, he waited. By 2006, McCray’s Tavern opened on Perry Street, and two decades later, it’s a cornerstone of Lawrenceville’s now-vibrant Square. Today, McCray owns nine restaurants, including Perry Street Chophouse and several McCray’s Taverns across metro Atlanta. But he’s not done yet. “We’ve got another building on the Square,” he teased. “Still figuring out what to do with it, but we’re working on something.” And then there’s St. Patrick’s Day—his annual “Perry Street festival” that shuts down the street, packs the rooftop deck, and unofficially kicks off spring. Reflecting on 20 years in the business, McCray still seems a little surprised. “I didn’t grow up dreaming about restaurants,” he said. “But once I opened my first place, I knew. It’s hard work, but I still love it. Every day.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - GCPS STORY 4: GIVE East's Candice Richardson named GCPS Teacher of the Year Dr. Candice Richardson didn’t take the usual path to teaching. In fact, her journey started far from a classroom—in a doctor’s office in Nassau, Bahamas, where she worked as a physician. But life has a funny way of rerouting us. Fifteen years ago, she moved to the U.S. with her husband and began the long, grueling process of earning her medical license here. To make ends meet, she started substitute teaching. “I thought it’d just be temporary,” she said. “But when I walked into GIVE Center East, something clicked. I knew—this is where I’m supposed to be.” Fast forward to now: Richardson, who’s been teaching biology at GIVE for four years, was just named Gwinnett County Public Schools’ 2027 Teacher of the Year. It’s a rare honor for a teacher at an alternative school, and Richardson doesn’t take it lightly. At GIVE, Richardson works with students who’ve been written off by others. “These kids have been told they’re failures, that one mistake defines them,” she said. “But I believe in second chances. I want them to see they’re worth more than their worst moment.” Richardson’s passion for her students shines through in everything she does, from creating hands-on biology lessons to building relationships that show her students they’re valued. STORY 5: Republican state House leaders unveil plan to abolish homeowner property taxes Georgia Republicans are making a bold promise: no more property taxes for homeowners by 2032. Sounds great, right? But the details? Well, they’re complicated. House Speaker Jon Burns unveiled the plan Wednesday, calling it “historic tax relief” aimed at easing the financial strain on homeowners. Rising home values, he said, have made the current system “unsustainable.” The idea is to gradually phase out property taxes on primary residences, but here’s the catch—local governments rely on that money. A lot of it. Property taxes fund schools, police, fire departments—you name it. So, what happens when that revenue disappears? Burns’ plan would let cities and counties make up the difference by raising sales taxes or adding fees for specific services. But sales taxes are unpredictable, especially during economic downturns, and some areas might struggle to generate enough revenue. And then there’s the political hurdle. To make this happen, lawmakers need a constitutional amendment, which requires two-thirds approval in both chambers and a public vote. Oh, and the Senate? They’re focused on slashing income taxes instead. For now, the House hasn’t released all the details, but one thing’s clear: this proposal is ambitious—and it’s going to spark a lot of debate. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: TenMed Wound Care opening Lawrenceville office TenMed Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine is bringing its expertise to Lawrenceville, opening a new clinic at 696 Grayson Highway. For patients in Gwinnett County dealing with stubborn wounds—diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, or other complex injuries—this is big news. The Lawrenceville location joins TenMed’s existing offices in Atlanta and Johns Creek, expanding access to advanced treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Dr. Joshua Behlmann, the clinic’s medical director, said he’s excited to serve the community. “Our goal is simple: to provide life-changing care for those who need it most.” From personalized wound care plans to cutting-edge therapies, the clinic is ready to help. For more info, visit tenmedhealth.com or call 470-508-0696. STORY 7: Test-run of outdoor classrooms in Georgia schools clears General Assembly Georgia students might soon trade desks for fresh air, thanks to a new outdoor learning pilot program. On Wednesday, the state Senate gave unanimous approval to a bill that would create outdoor classrooms at select K-8 schools. Next stop? Governor Kemp’s desk. State Sen. Bo Hatchett shared his own experience: “I had an outdoor classroom at North Habersham Middle, and it made a huge difference. Every kid should have that chance.” Sen. Sheikh Rahman added, “Kids are glued to screens. Getting them outside? It’s good for their bodies, their minds—everything.” The program will run for three years before lawmakers decide what’s next. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Ron Butler who has narrated hundreds of audiobooks including the current bestseller Baldwin: A Love Story by Nicholas Boggs, which is about the life and loves of the iconic queer writer James Baldwin. Ron talks about how the project came to him, how he approached doing Baldwin's voice and getting so emotional at the end of the process that he cried. He also talks about how the business of audiobook narrating works, from how he gets paid to the prep work that happens before to the sexy little home booth he bought for himself right before the pandemic. Other topics include: the Heated Rivalry-esque gay romances he's narrated Illegal Contact (football studs) and Dirty Steal (baseball studs), making the move to Palm Springs, growing up in the Bahamas as the son of Bahamanian musician and club owner Ron Butler Sr, leaving his post-college corporate job to pursue acting, playing a breakdancing Barack Obama on Jimmy Kimmel in 2007 and the queer coming of age book that brought him to tears in the recording booth.  https://www.ronniebutler.com/

When it comes to money, status, and stuff, the line between “progress” and “pointless flex” can get blurry fast. In this episode, Travis and Eric break down the psychology behind big purchases, status signaling, and those subtle (and not-so-subtle) money games people play at dinners, events, and in their DMs. From buying a truck that literally lost a wheel to splitting a $400-per-head Vegas dinner he barely ate, Travis shares the real lessons behind spending, signaling, and staying sane around wealthy people. On this episode we talk about: The truck purchase that felt like “making it” but really wasn't Why some “level-up” buys are actually just expensive distractions Chasing status in high school with phones, Beats, and gadgets How rich dinners, bottle service, and bill-splitting mess with your head What Travis would actually hate to sell if he had to clear out his life Top 3 Takeaways The feeling from a flashy purchase is temporary; the money you spent is gone forever. It's better to pursue the ability to buy anything you want than to obsess over specific status items. Generosity at the table (picking up the bill, being fair about splitting) builds real social capital that outlasts any flex. Notable Quotes “That feeling was fleeting, but the money was gone forever.” “I stopped caring about the thing and started caring about my ability to go buy the thing.” “If I have the money, I don't need the company to bless me with a trip to The Bahamas—I can just go to The Bahamas.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: @travischappell Website: travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey girl,In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mikhail Higgins for an essential and eye-opening conversation about fibroids and why they show up so frequently in the lives of Black women. We talk about what fibroids are, how they often develop quietly over time, and why so many women normalize symptoms that should never be ignored.This conversation centers on awareness, self-advocacy, and understanding your body beyond what you have been told is “normal.” Dr. Higgins brings medical clarity while also naming the lived reality of Black women navigating reproductive health. This episode is an invitation to stop minimizing your symptoms, ask better questions, and take your health seriously without fear or shame.BIO:Dr. Mikhail Higgins is a Nassau, Bahamas native and the country's first U.S. board-certified, fellowship-trained interventional radiologist. He is the founder and Medical Director of the Bahamas Fibroid and Interventional Clinic, providing minimally invasive, nonsurgical fibroid treatment across the Caribbean. Formerly a Boston University faculty member, he now holds national leadership roles in interventional radiology and is recognized for advancing fibroid care regionally and globally.Resources Mentioned:Instagram | TikTok | Bahamas Fibroid & Interventional ClinicWhenever You Are ReadyHere are 3 ways I can help you:​Book A Call With Me - Book a time with me here!Join the Get Your Guy Club- Wanna have Dating Support for a year to help you get your guy, but at your own pace.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Isaiah and Jessica thanks for tuning in.  Taiwan, Ireland, Bahamas,    Matthew 7The Tree and Its Fruit 15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. True Disciples 21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.' Building on a Solid Foundation 24 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn't obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”   So what is it? Actions? Or not actions? What makes the difference? Well what about the house built on sand…. The key is obedience to teaching… to the acts of the teaching. Its not if you can produce the acts of Jesus but rather if you are doing it for Jesus. In todays world there are so many pastors, teachers, evangelists, Spiritual Christian influencers that have lots of “fruit” / actions… but that is not the key the key is your motive. Are you simply out to build your brand, your influence, your ministry, your face, your public persona…. Obedience is greater than sacrifice right? But obedience is also greater than works…  Matthew 7:22 you did the acts… but you never knew me. I do not know you!  These guys built the same thing… a house. Its not like one built a house and the other a liquor store and God said… Liquor store has got to go. They built the same thing… but one built his house on what he wanted… the other built a house on what God wanted.  People always want to ask… what are you building. God asks why are you building!
