A charitable trust is commending tougher sentences for people throwing coward punches. The Government's new specific offence for striking a distracted victim could carry a sentence of life imprisonment if fatal. Walk Without Fear has been pushing for changes after MMA fighter Liufau Vake was killed by a single coward punch in 2021. Board Member Mike Angove told Mike Hosking the charges need to be in conjunction with education that starts at a school level. He says that no one argues against the lethality of attacking someone with a knife or a gun, but people are unaware that hitting someone who's unaware can result in permanent damage or a lethal outcome.

The Board Member Who Planned Their Murder Boelter's 7-Year Deception Description: Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis provides explosive legal analysis of how Vance Boelter weaponized his position on Minnesota's Workforce Development Board to plan the murder of fellow board member Senator John Hoffman. This expert examination reveals the calculated nature of Boelter's seven-year deception and what it means for prosecuting premeditated political violence. Faddis breaks down how this prolonged professional relationship destroys any potential insanity defense and demonstrates a level of premeditation rarely seen in political violence cases. The conversation explores the legal implications of Boelter's dual life: respected board member by day, political assassin by night. Faddis explains how prosecutors will use the seven-year timeline to prove deliberation, while examining potential defense strategies in a case with overwhelming evidence. The analysis includes discussion of how Boelter's security company, Praetorian Guard Security Services, telegraphed his intentions through its reference to Roman imperial assassins. Most disturbing is Faddis's warning about precedent: if someone can serve alongside their victim for seven years while planning murder, what does this mean for trust in democratic institutions? This essential legal perspective examines how political extremism can corrupt professional relationships and why the Boelter case represents a new evolution in domestic terrorism. Learn why this case could redefine how we prosecute political violence and protect public servants. #EricFaddis #VanceBoelterTrial #LegalAnalysis #BoardMemberMurder #SevenYearPlan #PoliticalAssassination #DefenseAttorney #MinnesotaCase #Premeditation #WorkforceBoard #DomesticTerrorism #TrueCrimeLegal #ProsecutorInsights #PoliticalViolence #LegalStrategy Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

The platform, led by CEO Paul Allen, uses AI to create a personalized, nonpartisan newsfeed that makes it easier than ever to monitor public officials and engage in civic issues.Paul explained, “We redesigned the site to literally use AI to detect every important topic discussed in every government meeting.” By analyzing over 1.3 million hours of public meetings, Citizen Portal generates bite-sized articles on key issues, giving users a consumable, easy-to-navigate interface resembling a news site.This shift has been a game-changer. Paul shared that the platform has attracted nearly a million users this year alone. The tool addresses a growing demand for transparency and accountability in government while filling a void created by the decline of local newspapers.Unlike platforms driven by ad revenue or partisan agendas, Citizen Portal operates on a subscription model designed to empower its users. “There's no spin, no partisan bias, and no kind of echo chamber,” Paul said. Instead, the platform's algorithm, called BRAIN, tailors content to users' locations and interests, ensuring relevance.Citizen Portal's mission is ambitious yet essential. Paul envisions a world where “it'll be a thousand times easier to become an informed and engaged citizen.” The platform not only provides insights into local schools, city councils, and state legislatures, but also offers actionable steps for users to make their voices heard.For those interested in supporting this social impact initiative, Citizen Portal is raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign. This funding will allow the company to expand its reach and enhance its technology.Paul's vision is clear: to strengthen democracy by making civic engagement easier and more effective. With Citizen Portal, we can all stay informed, get involved, and make a difference in our communities.tl;dr:Citizen Portal uses AI to transform 1.3 million hours of government meetings into actionable news.The platform fills the gap left by declining local newspapers with nonpartisan, customizable newsfeeds.Paul's vision is to empower citizens and policymakers with tools for informed engagement.Citizen Portal is raising capital through regulated crowdfunding to expand its impact and technology.Paul's superpower, insatiable curiosity, drives his passion for creating tools that make information accessible.How to Develop Insatiable Curiosity As a SuperpowerPaul described his superpower as a deep passion for learning and gathering information. “I just have an insatiable curiosity for finding content in libraries, researching archives, [and] finding hidden gems,” he explained. This natural drive to consume and organize information has fueled his success, from co-founding Ancestry.com to leading Citizen Portal. He combines his love of learning with a knack for turning chaotic data into meaningful tools that empower others.Paul shared how his superpower helped him build Citizen Portal. He and his team analyzed millions of hours of government meeting records, transforming vast, fragmented data into actionable, AI-generated newsfeeds. His love for gathering information and creating order enabled him to design a platform that empowers citizens to monitor local governance and engage more effectively.Tips for Developing CuriosityIdentify and lean into your natural strengths using tools like the Clifton Strengths Assessment.Focus on areas that energize and excite you rather than trying to emulate others' strengths.Gather and organize information in ways that help others, amplifying the impact of your efforts.Pursue learning as a lifelong habit by reading, researching, and staying curious about the world.By following Paul's example and advice, you can make insatiable curiosity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfilePaul Allen (he/him):CEO & Board Member, Citizen PortalAbout Citizen Portal: Citizen Portal is a non-partisan, AI-powered platform, with $426,200 in pre-seed funding and a seasoned leadership team, aiming to revolutionize civic engagement, revive government transparency, and transform American democracy. Citizen Portal is on a mission to transform democracy with an AI-powered approach. We are reshaping civic engagement and education by providing Americans with up-to-date, accurate, newsworthy information straight from the source. Citizen Portal utilizes AI to index, transcribe, and summarize meetings and hearings at all levels of government. By providing access to video recordings of school boards, local, state, and federal meetings, Citizen Portal helps to empower citizens, journalists, and advocates to know what is being said by their elected officials and done in their government.Website: citizenportal.aiCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093227401453Other URL: startengine.com/citizenportalBiographical Information: Paul Allen is a visionary tech entrepreneur and evangelist driven by a desire to help individuals live their best lives.Paul has founded eight companies. He calls himself a “platform entrepreneur” since his products are usually built on top of the latest tech platform or wave, such as CD ROM, the World Wide Web, mp3 audio, or Facebook. For the past several years, Paul's focus has been using machine learning and artificial intelligence to help individuals and organizations reach their full potential.In 1990, Paul founded Infobases, whose mission was to digitize and publish the world's most important books on CD ROM with a full-text search engine. This endeavor led directly to Ancestry.com—Paul's best known company—which sought to gather and publish the world's genealogy records, family trees, and memories on the internet to enable everyone to discover their heritage. Over 100 million people have learned about their family history at Ancestry.com.Paul's teams have a history of building viral products. MyFamily.com (1998) attracted millions of users, and for a time, was the fastest growing online community on the web as well as the top photo sharing site in 2000 and 2001. Paul's We're Related app on Facebook (2007-2010) gained more than 120 million users in two and a half years. From 2012 to 2017, Paul worked with Gallup to promote the StrengthsFinder assessment (now called CliftonStrengths) from the Washington, DC headquarters. As the “Global Strengths Evangelist,” Paul helped increase online purchases of the assessment and supported a global community of strengths coaches. Today, more than 30 million people have taken the CliftonStrengths assessment. Paul's most recent creation is Soar.com, a company whose mission—once again—is to uplift humanity. Paul is a strong advocate for using AI in positive ways, specifically to enable individuals to become the best version of themselves. When excellent training is paired with AI generated feedback on actual performance, leaders, managers, founders, and individual contributors can achieve excellence faster than ever before. Soar is an AI Studio that will form more than fifteen separate corporations to bring PURE AI (Personalized Uplifting Responsible Ethical AI) to many fields, including education, faith, government, health, finance, medicine, law, family history, and the workplace. Eventually, Soar will enable people to build and customize their own AI assistant (think of Jarvis from Iron Man or Janet from The Good Place) to help them learn, grow, make better decisions, and maximize their time on Earth. Paul's influence extends beyond entrepreneurship. He's a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, teaching the importance of family stories and personal strengths in shaping one's identity. A lifelong learner, Paul has amassed a vast library of thousands of books. In fact, Paul's dedication to learning extends to his teaching roles in Internet Marketing and Entrepreneurship at Utah Valley University and Brigham Young University. He's received numerous accolades, including Ernst & Young Utah Entrepreneur of the Year in 2000 and MarketingSherpa National Entrepreneur of the Year in 2008. Paul is a fellow of the Utah Genealogical Association and was named a Cyber Pioneer in 2010 by the Cyber Law Section of the Utah State Bar. In 2016, he was the honored alumnus of the BYU Humanities College, having graduated in 1990 with a BA in Russian. Most recently, Paul has been featured on The Pulse of AI, The Briefing with Steve Scully, The Business of Learning, and The Adventures in Machine Learning podcasts.Paul and his wife, Christy, reside in Missouri. They have 8 adult children and 5 grandchildren.X/Twitter Handle: @paulballenPersonal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/paulallenLinkedin: linkedin.com/in/paulballenInstagram Handle: @paulallendcSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Alas; New sode of #GlitterLedger Buona Sera from my suite in Sardegna Italy where stablecoin slash wedding summer season has been thrust upon us like an ETF wrapped blunt no one asked for.I am unclear whether stables or matrimony make me want to induce my bulimia more violently but what about when combined into a nonsensical party without booze or pretentious intellectuals.Alas, I am here and high for a stablecoin themed wedding of two pathetic founders who found love at Fyre Festival. They each attended #Vassar Suma Cum F me, graduating 15 years part each worth half a bill in fiat and had the audacity to have a cash bar with no hard liquor. Sweating my spray tan and botox over fear of having to socialize with my contemporaries with more asbergers than I.   More gauche than #hemorrhoids. Crypto fixes this. Kay Bella. How does crypto fix a cash bar? Each themed table is a different stable token including both English and Italian translations; which made cocktail hour less boring but more awkward.  My lover and I were placed at Terra Luna alongside #AyatollahKhomeni and Amy Coney Barret and arbitrary low tier Blackrock analysts.   I know the bride well as I funded her last scam company liposuction in the metaverse. Her claim two fame was she was Ms Teen Runner up of Beverly Hills, but Like Saylor says there is no second best. We have a long love hate somewhat  lesbionic but glamorous history as during the #Obama years she tried to poison me with Ethereum wrapped sufuric Acid on chain after I slept with her father. But that was only because he was dying and I was trying to get a board seat at lululemon or a chic footnote in the will for the #MarkRothko in their living room. I digress, my guest today is one of my best friends Jesuit Julian M Sevillano Sevillano fellow Board Member at PayPal Digital, CEO of Wen Acquisition Corp. Wen Token. He was kind enough to stop by Glitter Ledger Headquarters just as I was coming down from my Lithium Johnny Walker Buzz. We met on a First Class #RedEye From #Burning Man to #Teterboro back when he was at McKinsey and I was at OnlyFans. We bonded over love for rare filet mignon and mutual friends in Argentinian and Wyoming Government. We unfortunately for my sponsors @Casa, Swan Bitcoin, LVMH, and GEICO had to discuss the most boring topics ever like crypto regulation but luckily Julian drops important wisdom like traditional custody is a zero money making business and read good books like  what Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith; another friend of the show. Thats all for now and see you in Cannes but not for EthCC because ETH is for poor people and I am afraid of getting poisoned for the second time. #GlitterLedgerSupport the show

Professor Yasir Suleiman-Malley speaks about the complexities of Arabic tracing his personal journey with the language, from early struggles with grammar to a deep appreciation for its richness. We explore the historical and pedagogical challenges of teaching Arabic, especially given its sacred status connected to the Quranic text and the socio-cultural resistance to modernizing its grammatical teaching methods.

2/3 of Massachusetts voters support expanding access to abortion later in pregnancy, according to recent polling. Massachusetts still has on the books a 24-week abortion ban, with additional exceptions later added. Jeanette Kincaid, Associate Director of Care Coordination at DuPont Clinic and Kate Dineen, abortion later in pregnancy patient and advocate and Board Member of Reproductive Equity Now, sit down to talk with us about Massachusetts' abortion access status and the reality of exceptions.When Kate, located at the time in Massachusetts, had a personal experience needing access to an abortion later in pregnancy, she was told travel would be necessary to obtain care. Kate then traveled to the Washington, D.C. area to receive the care she needed. Currently in the Massachusetts, Kate and other advocates are working to pass the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, which would expand access to abortion care after 24 weeks of pregnancy based on the best professional judgement of a licensed physician. Getting rid of the state's gestational ban would increase access to care and equity not only for Massachusetts, but for the Northeast region. For more information, check out Boom!

I would say just, think about your story a lot. You have a story. Don't underestimate your story. Your story is a collective story of your parents, your neighborhood, your neighbors, your books. It's all part of your story, so don't underestimate your story. Please tell your story, talk about yourself, talk about, the environment you grew up in, things that bothers you. Talk about it. It matters a lot when we talk about our personal things. A lot of people, a lot of time people shy away, they avoid talking about themselves because they think it's showing off.  I don't think it's showing off. You are at your most authentic self when you just talk about your story as your story. So please don't underestimate your stories. We might pick up one of your stories and make a movie out of it.

How do you build a high-performance culture without turning your company into the Hunger Games? Reed Hastings, co-founder and former CEO of Netflix, shares lessons from a career spent rewriting the rules—from severance as a management tool to “big-hearted champions who pick up the trash.” In this episode, he reveals how Netflix scaled trust, made bold bets before the data was in, and kept its edge by treating employees like adults—not assets. You'll hear how Hastings evaluates talent beyond the interview, the reason he avoids performance improvement plans, and what most leaders misunderstand about judgment, feedback, and innovation.  You'll also hear why he placed a $100 million bet on House of Cards with no pilot, how Drive to Survive changed an entire sport, and why Squid Game caught even Netflix by surprise.  Now focused on a new chapter—owning a ski mountain, reshaping education through AI tutors, and supporting charter schools—Hastings is still doing what he does best: building systems that scale culture, not just product.  If you care about performance without politics—or culture without the clichés—this is a blueprint from one of the clearest thinkers in modern business.  Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: (3:09) Powder Mountain, Skiing Industry, & Buying a Mountain (6:36) Setting Culture in an Organization (9:21) Hiring Process and Evaluating Candidates (14:24) Netflix's 2009 Slide Deck Release (16:26) Talent Density and Performance Culture (17:59) Loyalty and Team Building (19:56) Severance Packages (22:17) Process Vs.

Your board. In this episode, we dive into the challenges small nonprofits face when trying to activate their boards around fundraising.

“There's work guilt because you worry that you're not delivering 100%. There's guilt that you're not being the best mum possible. So, it really is guilt on all fronts if you're not careful.”   In this Best of Series episode, we replay a chat we had in 2019 with Nicolette Rubinsztein AM, Professional Board member and author, on removing guilt, building female confidence, and overcoming busy-ness.  

Whole-person health starts with whole-family care—and that begins with a provider who sees you, hears you, and truly walks beside you. Dr. Marion Pierson brings decades of heart-led pediatric experience to the conversation, showing how health is more than check-ups and prescriptions—it's about relationships, rest, and raising kids in rhythm with both structure and freedom. Her passion for serving her Kansas City community is palpable, and her insight into direct primary care reminds us that when families are empowered with knowledge, time, and trust, they don't just survive—they thrive. Key Takeaways: Community-based care thrives when families feel seen, supported, and invited into the healthcare process. Simple habits like sleep, hydration, and nutrition can dramatically shift a child's mood, focus, and overall well-being. Transitions, like summer break, can be both freeing and disruptive—maintaining flexible routines helps children stay grounded. Parents' self-care directly impacts how children experience structure, safety, and emotional regulation. The right healthcare fit is like a good relationship—it's built on trust, time, and open communication.   Resource Mentioned: Sherrie Ortiz is the owner of Just One Day Travel Tours and a passionate advocate for creating memorable experiences through local travel as KC travel guide.
