Jamie O'Brien, Pipeline, Pipe Masters, core surfing, Catch Surf, soft-top surfboards, surf culture, YouTube surfing, Red Bull, North Shore Hawaii, Backdoor, Ben Gravy, Jack Johnson, Rob Machado, Kelly Slater and the future of the surf industry — this episode of Pinch My Salt goes straight into one of the biggest debates in modern surfing: what does it actually mean to be a “core surfer” anymore?Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan react to Jamie O'Brien's comments about sponsored surfers, being core, chasing swells, making money in surfing and the evolution of his career from Pipeline legend and self-produced surf movies to YouTube, vlogging and the Catch Surf soft-top era. They debate whether surf YouTube and soft tops helped grow surfing or changed surf culture for the worse, how JOB influenced the next generation of surf creators, why traditional surfboard design still matters, and whether the surf industry has traded progression, style and craftsmanship for clicks, viral videos and easy money.The boys also get into Jack Johnson trying to connect them with Jason Momoa, Rob Machado's legendary hair, Kelly Slater, surf-industry sycophants, Instagram surfer culture, old-school surf fights at Lowers and Trestles, surfboard design, environmental concerns around foam and soft-top surfboards, and why surfing still needs to protect the magic that made everyone fall in love with it in the first place.Jamie O'Brien has been one of the most influential surfers of his generation — from Pipeline and Backdoor to his early self-produced surf films, DVDs, viral surfing videos and massive YouTube career. But has the rise of surf influencers, vlogging, soft tops and viral content changed what being a professional surfer means?Sterling also tells the story of surfing Backdoor with Jamie years ago and trying to convince him that the future was the internet — while Jamie was still making money selling surf DVDs.Plus: hardboards vs soft tops, Catch Surf, Ben Gravy, Blair Conklin, surfboard progression, old-school surf culture, North Shore stories, surfing fights, growing up in surf shops, the future of surfing, keeping surfing core and the eternal question:Can you make money in surfing without selling out?Welcome to Pinch My Salt.

Can nature help us to feel less alone?

Weather caused studio power issues. It happens! On this explosive edition of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters connects the dots between a heroic armed citizen who helped stop a mass killer in Idaho, New York’s aggressive prosecution of a law-abiding gun owner facing more than a dozen felony charges, and what may be the emerging roadmap anti-gun politicians are preparing as they continue losing major Second Amendment battles in the courts. Mark opens the broadcast with a detailed analysis of the tragic shooting at the newly opened In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho, where an armed citizen and an off-duty Idaho State Police trooper reportedly returned fire after a rifle-wielding attacker murdered innocent victims. While national media predictably focuses on the killer, Mark asks the question many refuse to ask: How many additional lives were saved because a responsible citizen was carrying a firearm? The discussion explores why armed self-defense remains the last line of defense when evil appears without warning, why “gun-free zones” failed yet again, and why defensive gun use continues to dismantle the gun-control narrative every time it occurs. Joined by Breitbart News Second Amendment columnist AWR Hawkins, the program examines how this incident demonstrates the reality that law-abiding citizens are overwhelmingly part of the solution—not the problem. The conversation then shifts toward what Mark describes as the next phase of the anti-gun movement. With the U.S. Supreme Court preparing to hear major challenges to so-called “assault weapon” bans and anti-gun organizations suffering repeated defeats under the Bruen standard, are gun-control advocates changing tactics? Mark analyzes New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s efforts to replace repealed federal ATF regulations with even more restrictive state laws while discussing similar legislative strategies appearing across blue states. The broadcast examines why many gun-rights advocates believe politicians are pivoting from broad firearm bans toward criminalizing technical violations, administrative paperwork, and regulatory compliance as a new avenue to discourage firearm ownership. The centerpiece of the program is one of the most compelling interviews ever aired on Armed American Radio. Firearms trainer Rob Pincus joins Mark to introduce the extraordinary case of Demetrio Daga, a New York gun owner who now faces more than a dozen felony charges after investigators allegedly used online purchase records to launch an extensive firearms investigation. Appearing publicly alongside his attorney, Kevin O’Brien, Demetrio tells listeners what it was like to be surrounded by heavily armed officers after dropping his children off at school, watching dozens of law enforcement officers search his home, and seeing his life instantly transformed into a criminal prosecution despite having no violent criminal history. Attorney Kevin O’Brien explains why he believes the case represents something much larger than one individual prosecution, arguing that responsible gun owners throughout restrictive states should pay close attention to how aggressively firearm laws are now being enforced against citizens who have harmed no one. Rob Pincus expands the discussion by explaining why similar investigations are becoming increasingly common and what these prosecutions may signal for the future of Second Amendment rights in America. Throughout the three-hour national broadcast, Mark repeatedly asks listeners to step back and look beyond each individual headline. Whether discussing heroic defensive gun use, expanding state-level firearm restrictions, or criminal prosecutions based on complex regulatory requirements, he argues that each story reveals another piece of what he calls “The Anti-Gun Blueprint.” If constitutional challenges continue eliminating sweeping firearm bans, what strategies will anti-gun lawmakers pursue next? This episode explores that question in depth while examining the legal, constitutional, and cultural battles shaping the future of the Second Amendment. If you care about the right to keep and bear arms, concealed carry, constitutional freedoms, self-defense, Supreme Court litigation, or the rapidly changing landscape of American gun laws, this is one of the most important Armed American Radio broadcasts of the year.

In this conversation, Irish author and speaker Donal O'Brien joins us to explore how you can find your passion and purpose after a narcissistic relationship — and why this process matters for anyone rebuilding their sense of self, regardless of what brought them to this point. Losing touch with your own identity is one of the most disorienting parts of being with a narcissist. You second-guess your instincts, your interests, even your sense of who you are. This interview is designed as a healing tool: a guide back to the parts of yourself that got buried, silenced, or dismissed along the way. Donal shares his perspective on purpose, passion, and reconnecting with what makes you feel alive again — drawing on his own work and experience as an author and speaker. Whether you're recovering from a narcissistic relationship or simply feel disconnected from your own direction in life, this conversation offers practical wisdom and a spiritual perspective on rebuilding from the inside out. If you're ready to move from surviving to rediscovering who you really are, this episode will help you take that next step.

In the fall and early winter of 1982, two young women were abducted and brutally murdered within weeks of each other in Morris County, New Jersey. Eighteen-year-old Amie Hoffman disappeared on November 23 after leaving her job at the Morris County Mall. Two days later, her body was discovered in a secluded water-retention tank. On December 5, twenty-five-year-old Deirdre O'Brien was run off the road, abducted, sexually assaulted, and repeatedly stabbed. Although she was found alive, she died before she could identify her attacker. With fear spreading across the community and few solid leads, investigators consulted Nancy Weber, a local psychic who claimed she could see the killer, his vehicle, his criminal history, and even injuries he would inflict upon himself. Her alleged insights would later become one of the most controversial elements of the investigation. Then James Koedatich—a recently paroled murderer—reported that he had been stabbed by a mysterious woman while driving alone at night. Detectives quickly realized that Koedatich's story was unraveling. His wounds appeared to be self-inflicted, his vehicle matched witness descriptions, and evidence found inside his car connected him to both victims. Join us as we examine the murders of Amie Hoffman and Deirdre O'Brien, the violent history of James Koedatich, the evidence that brought him to justice, and the enduring question surrounding Nancy Weber: Did a psychic truly see through the eyes of a killer—or did time and television turn investigative coincidence into something supernatural? This is a story of two young lives stolen, a killer betrayed by his own desperate scheme, and a criminal investigation where fact and the unexplained remain tangled together more than forty years later.

On a hot July night in 1995, Janet Downing was stabbed 98 times inside her Somerville, Massachusetts, home. Within hours, police identified 15-year-old Eddie O'Brien, the best friend of one of her sons, as the suspect.Eddie had no criminal history, no clear motive, and no apparent opportunity. Yet his case emerged during a national panic over juvenile "superpredators," when Massachusetts officials were pushing to prosecute more children as adults. His highly publicized trial helped change the state's juvenile laws.Attorney Margo Nash, appointed as Eddie's guardian ad litem, attended every court session and later gained access to the case files, forensic reports, and trial transcripts. Her conclusion was disturbing: Eddie could not have committed the murder.In this expanded second edition of THE POLITICS OF MURDER, Nash goes deeper into newly unearthed evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, withheld exculpatory material, and manipulated forensic findings.Was Eddie O'Brien used to advance a political agenda?What will it take to overturn his wrongful conviction?MARGO NASH has been a litigator of both civil and criminal cases in Massachusetts for the past 43 years. Since 2016, her practice has been limited to working with Eddie O'Brien and his lawyers to overturn his wrongful conviction.https://wildbluepress.com/politics-of-murder-2nd-edition-margo-nash-true-crime/

Lux Radio Theatre || Alias Jimmy Valentine (Pat O'Brien, Madge Evans) || Conversation Piece (Lily Pons, Adolphe Menjou) || November 9, 1936; November 11, 1936 //01:11 ... Alias Jimmy Valentine -- A good story about a safe-cracker trying to go straight. Pat O'Brien sings "The Charlady's Ball." Guest Melvyn Purvis ("The Greatest G-Man In History") recalls a real safe cracker he met while tracking down John Dillinger. The script was used on "Lux" previously on September 30, 1935. + The story begins behind the grey walls of the state penitentiary. Valentine, played by Pat O'Brien, is called into the warden's office to be told he is to be freed the next day. He promises to go straight and on his release he desperately tries to find a job. Nobody wants to employ an ex jailbird and Valentine finds it hard work surviving. He is constantly being pursued by a cop called Doyle who framed him in the first place and is hell bent on seeing Valentine back behind bars. // 58:46 ... Conversation Piece -- A Frenchman tries to pass off a nightclub singer as nobility. + A flippant period piece of entertainment> The sort that operettas of that time were made of. It begins in a Paris café in 1809. A well dressed gentleman stands by an open window. He is approached by a pretty young lady. The conversation is all about forming a business partnership between the two of them. Their intention is of course to swindle some rich gentleman whom they have yet to find. // : : : : :You can donate to show your support for my podcast and the time I put into creating and posting every week.

Every clinic owner feels the financial squeeze at some point. The ones who get through it fastest are the ones who know exactly where to look - and what to do about it.In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch and Jack O'Brien unpack the patterns they see play out every year around end of financial year - the cash flow crunches, the freak-out meetings with accountants, the decisions that snowball.

The Strange Case of Rob, Michele and Nick Reiner Episode 393 – It came as a shock when Rob and Michele Reiner were murdered late last year. Now, their son Nick, accused of the murders, is trying to fund his defense using money in a trust fund provided by his parents. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 393 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: the strange case of Rob, Michele & Nick Reiner. World-famous movie director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were both stabbed to death in their home in the early hours of December 14, 2025. Their son, Nick, was arrested soon afterward and charged with first-degree murder. No conviction has occurred, and Nick Reiner is entitled to the presumption of innocence while proceedings occur. Nick had gotten into a heated argument with his parents the previous evening, during a party at the home of Conan O’Brien, a well-known television talk show host.[1] Upon his arrest, Nick hired a well-known defense attorney named Alan Jackson, who had previously represented Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, but Jackson eventually withdrew from the case. Jackson at first refused to specifically state why he withdrew, but it is believed that money was a main issue.[2] Reiner is currently represented by Los Angeles County Public Defender Kimberly Greene, but according to a petition filed on his behalf, Jackson is willing to come back to assist with the case. Reiner would like to rehire Jackson, but he needs to find a way to pay him.[3] Nick apparently has no current source of income, but he does have a trust fund, set up by his parents, which is estimated to be at least $1.5 million. Through his attorney, Nick is petitioning the court for access to the trust fund to help finance his defense.[4] In other words, he would like to use some of the money his parents gave him to help defend himself against the murder charges. The terms of the trust are specific: half of the funds were supposed to be distributed when he reached age 30 in 2023, with the other half to be distributed when he turns 35. The 2023 distribution apparently did not happen.[5] As for the second payment, due in 2028, the outcome is in doubt. If convicted, Nick would likely be prohibited from collecting it due to California's “slayer statute.”[6] Most U.S. states have a slayer statute. This type of law first gained attention in 1989 when the Menendez brothers were accused of killing their parents in Beverly Hills, CA. The brothers were convicted of murder and prohibited from collecting their inheritance from their parents' estate. In California, the statute states that someone who murders someone else cannot inherit assets or gain any financial profit as a result. The burden of proof varies, with some states requiring a criminal conviction to void a disposition, and other states requiring only civil liability.[7] In Nick's case, if the statute is ruled applicable, it would result in Nick being treated as if he had predeceased his parents.[8] A big part of the issue is the unmade trust distribution from 2023, which was scheduled before the crime was committed. The trustee apparently denied the payment due to Nick's history of substance abuse, and his alleged inability to manage the trust assets on his own.[9] [10] For his part, Nick's attorney classifies this as a subjective opinion, which, in his view, is not a valid reason to hold back the money.[11] But things get even more complicated from there. Nick's side has also argued that the assets in question are not assets of his deceased parents' estate, but assets of a trust that had already been funded before the crimes occurred. The argument is that once the assets went into the trust, they were no longer part of Rob and Michele Reiner's estates. [12] Then there's the issue of legal competence. The counterargument offered by Nick's lawyer is that the trustee has the authorization to make payments to a fiduciary, so competency shouldn't be relevant.[13] Reiner asserted in a court filing that his two siblings, Jake and Romy Reiner, had agreed at first to pay legal fees to retain Alan Jackson, but later changed their minds.[14] Their role in any future trial or litigation remains to be seen. Of course, Nick Reiner is presumed innocent until proven guilty. For now, his trust attorneys claim that by blocking access to what they characterize as his own funds, the trustee is effectively punishing him before he is convicted.[15] There’s still a lot to be determined here.

In this episode of the Building PA Podcast, co-hosts Jon O'Brien and Chris Martin delve into a critical and timely topic: mental health in the construction industry. Joined by two esteemed guests from Minnesota, Tim Worke from AGC Minnesota and Cheri Quinn from Mercury Creative Group, the discussion centers around the innovative Minnesota Construction Mental Health Alliance.We kick off the episode by acknowledging the growing importance of mental health awareness within the construction sector, a topic that has gained traction across the country. Tim and Cheri introduce the concept of the Minnesota Construction Mental Health Alliance, emphasizing that this initiative is not just another program but a collaborative effort aimed at systemic change. The term "alliance" is pivotal, as it signifies a partnership among industry leaders to address mental health challenges from a leadership perspective, rather than merely providing resources or awareness.Tim elaborates on the unique three-legged stool approach of the alliance, which includes project owners, contractors, and labor representatives. This model seeks to engage project owners—often overlooked in discussions about mental health—by highlighting their role in creating project conditions that can lead to stress and mental health issues among workers. The conversation reveals a stark reality: individuals entering the construction workforce today are five times more likely to die by suicide than from job site accidents, underscoring the urgent need for cultural change within the industry.As the discussion unfolds, we explore the challenges of bringing diverse stakeholders to the table and fostering a shared vision. Tim and Cheri share insights on the initial hurdles of overcoming blame and finger-pointing among different parties, ultimately leading to a collective commitment to change. They highlight the importance of creating a culture where mental health is valued equally alongside physical safety, drawing parallels to the evolution of safety standards in the industry.The episode also touches on the practical steps being taken to fund and support this initiative, including the establishment of a 501c6 organization to manage resources and a recent grant that will help implement mental health training programs. Tim and Cheri express their hope that this model can serve as a blueprint for other states and organizations looking to address similar issues.As we wrap up, Jon and Chris reflect on the inspiring work being done in Minnesota and the potential for broader impact across the construction industry. They invite listeners to engage with Tim and Cheri for further discussion and collaboration, emphasizing the importance of collective action in tackling mental health challenges.

In this episode, Larry O'Brien speaks with Schneider Electric cybersecurity leaders Zakarya Drias and Nasir Mundh about the critical role of cybersecurity in enabling successful industrial digital transformation initiatives. The conversation explores Schneider Electric's approach to helping industrial organizations assess cyber risk, develop cybersecurity roadmaps, implement governance and security controls, and operate resilient OT environments through managed security services. Cybersecurity must be designed into digital transformation programs from the beginning rather than treated as an afterthought, particularly as cloud computing, IT/OT convergence, artificial intelligence, and connected operations expand the industrial attack surface. The discussion also addresses the challenges of protecting legacy industrial assets while modernizing operations, the importance of lifecycle management and compensating controls, and how AI can augment cybersecurity capabilities while still requiring human oversight and risk management.Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?Do you have an intriguing or thought provoking topic you'd like to discuss on our podcast?

#1010 What if the excuses you've been telling yourself are actually the exact roadmap to your breakthrough? In part 2 of this two-part conversation, Cliff Ravenscraft returns to hand over the practical playbook for identifying and dismantling limiting beliefs — starting with a journaling exercise he uses with his own coaching clients to expose the excuses hiding behind stalled goals. Cliff and Brien dig into why insight alone is addictive but useless without committed, calendared action, and why protecting your focus for even a couple of hours can feel like the hardest fight of your week. They also explore the real value of masterminds and accountability groups, how to start taking action even when fear is loud, and why the person you become on the way to your goals matters more than the goals themselves. If show notes to sit down and finally identify your own limiting beliefs! What we discuss with Cliff: + The journaling exercise to uncover limiting beliefs + Why self-diagnosis alone isn't enough + The "why haven't I done this yet" question + Insight addiction vs. real action + The momentum framework: outcome, clarity, calendared action + Protecting your focus for two hours + Treating failure as feedback + How to choose a mastermind group + Starting small and building momentum + Facing fear before taking action Thank you, Cliff!

Most leaders spot rudeness or a toxic workplace and rush to shut the behavior down. But incivility is often a symptom of stress, burnout, and something deeper nobody names.Dr. Mira Brancu sat down as a guest on Dr. John O'Brien's show, Civility Matters, and this is the full conversation. They get into why punishing rude behavior usually backfires, and how to tell the difference between the symptom you can see and the root cause you cannot. Mira breaks down organizational grief, the quiet loss people carry after layoffs and reorgs that shows up as disengagement, quiet quitting, and cynicism instead of tears.You will also hear her simple two by two office politics matrix that reveals whether your influence at work has turned self-serving, whether ambition and civility can actually coexist, and real advice for anyone stuck in a toxic job right now. The point they both keep coming back to is this: Leaders have to deal with their own stress first, because you cannot steady anyone else while you are running on empty.Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, burnout, and workplace mental health.Connect with Dr. John O'Brien : www.activatesuccess.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnmobrienphd/Host: Civility Matters Podcast: https://civilitymatters.buzzsprout.comRudeness Rehab Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1957651911?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RudenessRehab Subscribe to my free newsletter at: mailchi.mp/2079c04f4d44/subscribeWork with me one-on-one: calendly.com/mira-brancu/30-minute-initial-consultationConnect with me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/MiraBrancuLearn more about my services: www.gotowerscope.comGet practical workplace politics tips from my books: gotowerscope.com/booksGet my free Strategic Clarity and Leadership Resilience assessment: https://mailchi.mp/e1ebf8505764/slr-assessment Get my Free Burnout Root Cause Assessment: https://mailchi.mp/29d7d18fae4a/burnout-root-cause-assessmentGet my Workplace Grief Guide: https://mailchi.mp/46873b910380/workplace-grief-field-guide Find other free resources to support your leadership growth: https://gotowerscope.com/other-free-stuff Join the next Towerscope leadership workshop or fellowship: https://gotowerscope.com/fellowship

In this college football podcast episode, we finish our three-part preview of the ACC by turning our attention to the defending conference champions and several of the league’s most difficult teams to project. Can Duke keep finding ways to win after another major quarterback change? Does Clemson have a real plan for getting back into the College Football Playoff conversation? And can Louisville once again rebuild its offense around a new transfer quarterback without losing ground near the top of the conference? We also dig into James Franklin’s full-scale reboot at Virginia Tech, Ty’s increasingly dangerous belief in NC State, and a pivotal season for Brent Key at Georgia Tech. With new quarterbacks, rebuilt offensive lines, coordinator changes and transfer portal additions everywhere, how much confidence should we place in recognizable coaches and favorable schedules? Plus, we examine why Cal could become one of the most entertaining teams in college football, whether Syracuse can recover with Steve Angeli back under center, and what Bill O’Brien can realistically build at Boston College. Elsewhere, Dan experiments with performance-enhancing inhalers, Ty launches Bros for Brohm, the Calgorithm gains strength, and we issue another annual warning about hiring Ted Roof.
