Key Takeaways: Simplifying Financial Language: Complex financial terms often create confusion and fear. Breaking them down into simple, relatable ideas helps people understand money in a more natural and intuitive way. Money as Communities: Money isn't just a machine or a system. It can be viewed as different communities or “villages,” each with its own rules, strengths, and purpose. Different Money Villages: Each form of money offers something unique. Dollars are easy to use, real estate provides stability, gold offers security, and Bitcoin represents digital independence. Connecting Nature and Finance: Financial systems work best when they follow natural patterns instead of fighting them. Aligning money with instinct and common sense creates healthier economic behavior. Volatility Is Natural: Price movement is not a flaw—it's a feature. When understood properly, volatility becomes a useful signal rather than something to fear.

WAKE UP, AMERICA! The "Permanent Bureaucracy" didn't start with the current administration—it was born in the shadows of the 1970s. Today, we are blowing the lid off the "Can of Worms" that Richard Nixon warned us about 50 years ago. From the unsealed "Deep State" files to the death of the American paycheck, we are deconstructing the systems of control that want you compliant, broke, and silent. IN THIS EPISODE: THE NIXON REHAB [A2]: James Rosen's bombshell report in the NYT exposes the seven "Classified" pages that stayed buried for half a century. We reveal how the Joint Chiefs of Staff literally robbed Nixon's desk and why the Pentagon—not the Left—was the primary force sabotaging the 37th President. THE DEATH OF THE PAYCHECK [A3]: The WSJ reports that "Big Money" is going to Capital, not Labor. We use the Robert Kiyosaki "Rich Dad" lens to explain why your job is a liability in the age of AI and why Nvidia's 50,000% growth is a warning for the white-collar class. THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE BALLOT [B1]: Camellia Peterson joins us to break down the SAVE America Act. Why is the GOP fast-tracking proof of citizenship for voter registration, and why is the "Show-Me" state leading the charge for election integrity? THE MAFIA DON DOCTRINE [B2]: J.D. Tuccille of Reason Magazine is LIVE to discuss Trump's "Tariff Trap." We explore how the President used tactical economic nukes to force India into a $500 billion trade deal and why Europe is finally "huffily" rearming themselves. JOIN THE REVOLUTION:

Outsourcing is not the problem.Outsourcing without understanding what you're paying for is.In this episode, I'm getting honest about one of the biggest mistakes I see business owners make—handing off marketing (or any major function) without a basic understanding of how it works. Not because you should be the expert… but because not knowing anything is how people get taken for a ride.I share real-world examples of businesses that lost time, money, and momentum simply because they didn't know what questions to ask—or what metrics actually mattered. We talk through why “just outsource it” is bad advice, how to protect yourself when hiring agencies or vendors, and the key KPIs every business owner should understand before signing a contract.This episode is about ownership, integrity, and being an informed leader—not doing everything yourself, but knowing enough to make smart decisions.In this episode, we cover:Why outsourcing without education often backfiresThe difference between delegation and abdicationThe basic marketing KPIs every business owner should understandHow to ask better questions before hiring an agencyWhat integrity in partnerships actually looks likeIf you've ever felt burned by a vendor, confused by marketing reports, or unsure whether something “isn't working” or just isn't being explained well—this one's for you.------Connect with Whitney on InstagramConnect with Whitney on LinkedIn

There are some big stories to look at this week: politically, commercially and socially charged. Coming up? The uncompromising behavior of Indian cricket and the chaos that has surrounded Bangladesh's removal from the T20 World Cup asks some serious questions of the other major cricketing nations. Are English football clubs falling behind their biggest European rivals off the pitch? What does a head coach endorsing the use of TikTok amongst his players tell us about the shifting approach to how athletes as brands can still work for the performance of a team? We really got stuck into this, not much fence sitting as always. So let's get to it. Welcome to the Breakdown.
Part One- We speak with Mike DeRubis, who is with the non-partisan group Voters First Wisconsin, which is working to eliminate gerrymandering, reduce the influence of Big Money in politics, and to reform the way that certain elections are done in our state. Part Two- from 2018- historian Jon Meacham talks about his book "The Soul of America: The Battle for our Better Angels." The book examines those periods in our country's history when we have been as bitterly divided as we are today- and how our nation was able to come together again.
I've done the video "x things I'm not buying in x years" before. But it was always more of a declaration for me than a "challenge". In my mind, I've never actually done a no-buy challenge. I even researched if there was a set of rules that people tend to follow when doing this "challenge" because I didn't know! Haha. Since I'm hitting some of my top-spending categories (clothes, skincare, etc.), I'm starting with a hardcore 6-month hard-commit instead of a full year.

When water systems fail, the damage is not the same for everyone. In Flint, the deepest harm lives in children's brains. In other cities, the damage is buried in pipes, mains, and hydrants. In this episode, Arthur Busch examines what really gets damaged when public water systems fail—and why the law treats those harms very differently.The episode opens in Flint, Michigan, with the story of Lee Anne Walters and her twin sons, who lost developmental skills after drinking lead-contaminated tap water. Their experience illustrates what lead exposure looks like up close: not statistics or charts, but children who had to relearn colors, numbers, and basic coordination, and who continue to struggle years later. This is the most enduring harm of bad water—damage carried inside a child's body and brain for life.From there, the episode draws a critical distinction between human damage and infrastructure damage. In Flint, the deepest injury is neurological and developmental, raising issues of justice, lifetime support, and accountability. In other cities, such as Miramar, Florida, and Greenville, South Carolina, the primary damage has been mechanical—corroded copper plumbing, failing ductile iron pipe, clogged mains, and compromised fire flow. Those cases focus on replacing pipe, repairing systems, and preventing the next failure.The episode explores how these different kinds of harm move through the legal system. In Flint, class actions and civil rights claims seek compensation for children's injuries, medical monitoring, special education needs, and property loss. In Miramar and Greenville, lawsuits target cities, engineers, and manufacturers over defective design, testing failures, and pipe performance, aiming to shift future repair costs away from ratepayers.Along the way, the episode examines how water crises have become a litigation business model, with large contingency-fee cases driving accountability only after harm has already occurred. It also looks at how new Lead and Copper Rule requirements are reshaping evidence, documentation, and liability—often after cities have already gambled with aging infrastructure.Ultimately, this episode asks a hard policy question: Is our system designed to protect the public, or mainly to manage liability after failure? Pipes can be replaced. Children cannot. The choices judges, regulators, and lawmakers make about prevention, accountability, and funding will determine whether future crises are stopped early—or simply paid for later.This episode is part of The Mitten Channel, a Michigan-based podcast network examining law, public policy, and life in America's industrial communities.

What happens when war becomes a market and foreign policy turns into an odds board? We dive into the uneasy world of prediction platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, where traders place bets on battlefield maps, covert raids, and even the exact words politicians will say. With researcher Nick Cleveland Stout from the Quincy Institute, we unpack how a briefly altered Ukraine map preceded a major payout, why a $400,000 win hit just hours before a surprise operation in Venezuela, and how these signals can tip off adversaries long before headlines catch up. Together we explore the ethics and incentives behind “the news of tomorrow today.” If market rules hinge on a single source, a map tweak or an official statement can decide millions—inviting manipulation rather than insight. We look closely at the regulatory blind spot: the CFTC treats these venues as prediction markets, leaving no insider trading framework even when life-and-death events are on the line. That vacuum tempts those with privileged access to profit, while retail bettors absorb the risk and confusion. The conversation follows the money. Defense contractors tout hardware after high-profile raids, budgets swell, and the arms industry wins. Oil players eye Venezuela's reserves and refineries, with some majors ready to expand and others demanding ironclad guarantees after prior expropriations. We examine how talk of reimbursements, control over refining, and contested asset sales like Sitgo feed a broader strategy to exert power without boots on the ground—and how markets amplify or distort that story. If prediction markets can surface real signals, they can also nudge reality. We outline concrete guardrails: diversified resolution sources, audit trails, institutional no-trade policies, event-type limits for active conflicts, and anomaly flags when flows cluster around sensitive moments. Then we ask the core question: should anyone profit from outcomes they can influence? Listen and decide with us, and if this conversation sharpened your thinking, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it.

Lance Taylor and former Washington & NFL quarterback Brock Huard dive deep into a historic moment for Indiana football as the Hoosiers continue their remarkable run and stand one win away from a national championship. If Indiana can finish the job against Miami in the national title game, where would this team rank among the greatest in college football history? The guys break down what's made this Hoosiers team special, why their run matters nationally, and what it says about the evolving landscape of the College Football Playoff. The conversation then shifts to one of the most fascinating storylines in the sport: the future of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. With rumors swirling about massive NIL and transfer portal offers designed to keep Simpson in college for another season, Lance and Brock discuss what this means for Alabama, the NFL Draft, and the new reality of player movement and big-money decisions in college football. Is staying another year the right move, and how is this changing roster-building across the sport? From college football history and CFP implications to NFL evaluations, quarterback development, and the intersection of NIL and the transfer portal, this episode delivers thoughtful analysis you won't find anywhere else. If you're a fan of college football, Indiana football, Alabama football, the College Football Playoff, or the NFL, this episode of Unlocked is for you.

When your board lacks time, wealth, or fundraising experience, does that mean a capital campaign is out of reach?In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, host Andrea Kihlstedt is joined by fundraising trainer, author, and longtime colleague Andy Robinson to explore how capital campaigns succeed in small, grassroots, and unconventional organizations. Drawing on decades of experience and two detailed case studies, Andy challenges common assumptions about board driven fundraising and shows what really makes campaigns work when infrastructure is thin and capacity feels limited.Together, Andrea and Andy unpack what happens when organizations face urgent needs, limited systems, and boards that care deeply about the mission yet cannot carry the bulk of fundraising activity. Andy shares the story of a tiny, lay led synagogue with a modest annual budget that raised over $775,000 across a multi year capital effort, even after part of the building was condemned. The campaign relied on a handful of committed leaders, strong belief in the mission, and steady persistence rather than a large or wealthy board.The conversation then shifts to a very different setting, a member owned food cooperative that raised more than $2 million to relocate and expand. The board focused on complex business negotiations while a volunteer campaign committee led community fundraising. Through a blend of gifts, community loans, fiscal sponsorship, and impact investing, supporters gave generously and stayed deeply engaged in the future of the co op.Throughout the episode, Andrea and Andy connect these stories back to core capital campaign principles that apply across sectors and organizational structures. They discuss why people give, what truly motivates participation, and how engagement and investment reinforce one another over time. They also address why tax deductions and legal status rarely drive generosity, how urgency sharpens focus, and why campaigns can build confidence and momentum even in organizations that feel under resourced.This episode is especially relevant for nonprofit leaders, board members, consultants, and community organizers who worry their organization is too small, too new, or too informal for a capital campaign. It offers reassurance, perspective, and practical insight into what matters most when asking people to invest in something they care about.If you work with grassroots organizations, faith communities, cooperatives, or nonprofits with lean staffing and limited systems, this conversation will expand how you think about capital campaigns and what is truly possible when commitment runs deep.For more free capital campaign resources, visit https://capitalcampaignpro.com/campaign-resources.

Dare we think that the New Year holds tremendous promise for progressive change?Yes! As practically every pundit notes, Trump's White House menagerie of billionaires, grifters, haters, prima donnas, and ideological kooks has soured even many MAGA faithful. More importantly, grassroots progressives have been organizing and mobilizing across the country, and – like eager ball players looking forward to a good season – they're pumped up!So, what could go wrong?Don't look now, but the National Democratic Party's “Washington Club” of high-dollar donors, clueless consultants, corporate lobbyists, and old-line politicos are still controlling much of the Party's money, strategy, and message. Possessing all the magnetism of their go-slow leader, Chuck Schumer, their game plan is the same as always: Run a Big Money, don't-rock-the-boat, Washington-based campaign, shove-aside grassroots activists, rely on negative attack ads, and tell everyone (again) that Trump will defeat himself.As Casey Stengel wailed when he managed the comically inept 1962 New York Mets baseball team – “Can't anyone here play this game?”Luckily, though, those insider losers are no longer our real Democratic team. While they've been piddling around in Congress playing wiffle ball with the Trumpers, Bernie-style progressives have been rebuilding the Party of the People in every state with hard-hitting, slick-fielding, big-league DEMOCRATS.And voters are responding with an enthusiastic YES! From Coast to coast – already lifting Zohran Mamdani to victory in New York, Katie Wilson in Seattle, and state legislative races in Iowa, Georgia, and Mississippi.Let's keep pushing to make 2026 the year we quit moaning about the lackluster Democratic Party… and turn it into the bright new majority party.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

The high priests of Holy High Tech are in a huff, wailing that they're being bothered by you busybodies, Luddites, and commoners – ie, The People.Grandiose gabillionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos assert that they're not merely rich, but visionary pioneers! Stand back, they bark, for we're going to re-populate the world with a new species of artificially-superintelligent humanoids. Yet, to their astonishment, rather being hailed as geniuses, the oligarchs are being widely berated by us old-fashioned humans. Indeed, the level of public outrage has goaded lawmakers in all 50 states to enact some minimal protections for workers, communities… and humanity.Of course, Musk, Bezos, & Company have no tolerance for the democratic will, so they jetted to Congress, demanding passage of a 10-year ban on enforcing any state law regulating artificial intelligence. Shockingly, however the US Senate, normally a total corporate toady, rose up 99 to 1 to vote against the Silicon Valley potentates. Ninety-nine to one!So, the billionaires are now playing their trusty Trump card. Having greased the corrupt pay-to-play president with about a billion-dollars in campaign cash and personal deals, the AI profiteers got their payback this month. Quicker than you can say “quid pro quo,” Trump issued an executive order that – get this – orders himself to block our state governments from enforcing their own AI laws.This is Jim Hightower saying… And here's an extra fun fact: Trump didn't even have to write the special interest executive order himself. A Silicon Valley AI profiteer generously sent a draft for the president to sign, effectively awarding more power and wealth to the profiteer. And that's how Big Money rigs the system against you and me.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Send us a textIn this conversation, Vance Glaser discusses the financial advantages of employing children on a family farm, particularly focusing on the tax benefits that can be leveraged. He explains how parents can pay their children up to $15,750 tax-free, which not only provides financial support to the children but also offers significant tax deductions for the parents. This strategy can lead to substantial savings on both income and self-employment taxes, making it a beneficial approach for families involved in farming.Stay Connectedhttps://www.commstock.com/https://www.facebook.com/CommStockInvestments/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClP8BeFK278ZJ05NNoFk5Fghttps://www.linkedin.com/company/commstock-investments/

How do we ever know what is enough – or feel like enough – in a world that pushes us to incessantly perform, perfect, collect, and earn? The extraordinary duo Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste are here for one of the richest conversations we've had about art, love, ambition, spirituality, and what it takes to remain ourselves. Together, we explore: - The “beast” we all carry: fear, perfectionism, control, or ambition—and how facing it is the only way out; - How we can all begin to alchemize our pain into creativity; and - How to hold onto the integrity of art, beauty, and love in a world that's always searching for “more.” This conversation will help you take a deep breath and finally feel like it's all enough – including you. . And check out our prior conversations we had with Suleika, the brilliant author of The Book of Alchemy: How to Stay Human; and How to Turn a Mistake into Magic. About Jon Batiste: Jon Batiste is a seven-time Grammy and Academy Award–winning artist whose music moves between jazz, soul, classical, and pop. His ninth studio album, Big Money, was released on August 22nd, and is supported by a national headlining tour with more than 30 stops. Audiences also know Jon from his Oscar-winning score for his chart-topping album Beethoven Blues and the acclaimed documentary American Symphony, which celebrates his artistry, resilience, and love with his wife Suleika at the height of his creative powers. About Suleika Jaouad: Suleika Jaouad is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoirs The Book of Alchemy and Between Two Kingdoms. She writes The Isolation Journals, the #1 Literature newsletter on Substack, and wrote the New York Times “Life, Interrupted” column. A three-time cancer survivor and visual artist, she appears with her husband Jon Batiste in the Oscar-nominated documentary American Symphony.
The nisse is a centuries-old figure in Danish folklore, and every December these tiny, mischievous spirits take center stage. While Santa Claus makes one big appearance late in the month, the nisse are active the whole season long. With their short stature and bright red hats, nisse are often mistaken for Santa's elves, but they live very different lives. Rather than helping in a workshop, nisse belong to individual households. They slip in and out of the walls at night, hide everyday objects, turn milk strange colors, and generally make harmless trouble. On December 24 they expect a bowl of rice pudding, and if they don't get it, they're known to act out. In modern Denmark, nisse aren't just folklore—they're also big business. At the housewares shop where I work during the Christmas rush, we stock more than 450 nisse-related products. There are soft dolls, tree ornaments, and hand-painted figurines with names like Asbjørn, Thorkild, Elvin, Liam, and Olivia. And then there are the accessories: tiny doors for the nisse to "enter" the home, miniature doormats, wooden shoes, rocking chairs, honey cakes, buckets, sleds, toolboxes, and of course the classic bowl of rice pudding. Many families—especially those with small children, and a surprising number of older women living alone—create small nisse worlds inside their homes. Some families also hang kravlenisser, the little paper nisse that "crawl" up walls and windows. They're not as popular as they once were, mostly because they're inexpensive and don't fuel the booming nisse economy. Nisse season extends into the workplace, too. Danes might be assigned a nisseven, or "nisse friend," for secret gift-giving at the office. And at holiday parties, even managers may don the pointed red nisse hat—a cheerful symbol of community and self-irony that sometimes surprises international colleagues. From home traditions to office fun, the nisse remain an essential part of Christmas in Denmark: tiny spirits with big personalities, and an even bigger cultural footprint. This is the final episode in our 12-part series, The Danish Year. Read more at howtoliveindenmark.com, or buy our books at books.howtoliveindenmark.com.

This special Thanksgiving edition brings you part two of a dynamic Independent Veterans of America Winners Circle Town Hall featuring IVA 2026 Senate candidates Ty Pinkins of Mississippi and Dan Osborn of Nebraska—two independent veterans who are taking on entrenched incumbents, big money, and a broken two-party system. From New York City on Thanksgiving Day, Paul sets the table with gratitude for servicemembers, military families, cops, firefighters, and first responders who are working while the rest of America is watching parades and football. Then the conversation turns to the future: what it really looks like to run as an independent veteran in deeply red states, how to talk to voters across race and party lines in rural communities, and why so many Americans are fed up with being forced to choose between Trump on the right and Mamdani-style extremes on the left. Ty Pinkins shares what it means to campaign as an independent veteran in Mississippi—knocking doors in rural counties, bridging racial and political divides, and showing people that common sense, decency, and service still have a place in American politics. Dan Osborn, the former Navy veteran and mechanic who shook the establishment with a close U.S. Senate race in Nebraska, talks about why he is running again in 2026, how his grassroots movement has grown, and what it takes to challenge a billionaire-backed incumbent with nothing but grit, community, and a mission to put country first. Paul ties it all together with a Thanksgiving message about why veteran leadership matters as crises continue in places like Ukraine and Venezuela and as National Guard deployments ramp up at home, and why this independent veteran wave is just getting started. If you are an independent—or independent-curious—American who is tired of being politically homeless, or if you have ever thought about running for office yourself, this episode is a must-listen and a call to action. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
