Planning a loved one's burial or cremation is a difficult experience under the best of circumstances. When Diana's stepfather, Cactus, gets sick during the early stages of Alzheimer's and sees a billboard advertising simple cremations for $695 at Sunset Mesa Funeral Home, he requests that his family cremate him and not spend a lot of money. But when Cactus dies and his cremains go missing under mysterious circumstances, it sets off a series of events that not only exacerbates the family's grief, but also tips off a lengthy investigation by Reuters journalists that rocks a small community in western Colorado and exposes the dark, unregulated side of the body trade industry.

Cactus Club is one of Milwaukee's beloved music and arts venues. Many have walked through the doors of the Bay View spot, but not everyone could enter with ease. The nearly 140-year-old building had 4-1/2 stairs to climb before you could enter, and its design wasn't fully accessible to all. This month, that started to change. There's now a ramp alongside the building — just the first of many planned improvements to this legacy property. In this episode, host Kim Shine takes listeners on an exclusive visit to the Cactus+ ramp celebration to learn more about the years-long process and owner Kelsey Kaufmann's mission of accessibility. Later, Radio Milwaukee morning show host Dori Zori sits down for an in-depth conversation with Kate Klingbeil, the mosaic artist who brought color and texture to the project.*****Episode host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library and supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.

We also dive into a variety of royalty partner project updates, the development growth still on tap in their portfolio of royalties, and look ahead to future acquisitions.   Financial Highlights   Royalty revenue of US$9.1 million and adjusted revenue1 of US$10.5 million, up 102% on Q2 2024 Record Operating Cash Flow plus Caserones dividends of US$14.4 million, up +900% on Q2 2024 Attributable Gold Equivalent Ounces ("GEOs") of 3,184 ounces, up 73% on Q2 2024 and adjusted EBITDA of US$8.8 million, up 155% on Q2 2024 Revenue guidance increased to US$35 million to US$40 million, based on an updated US$3,000/oz gold price for 2025 US$19.7 million increase in cash in Q2 2025   Outlook   Elemental Altus remains on track to meet record guidance of 11,600 to 13,200 GEOs, translating to increased record adjusted revenue of US$35 million to US$40 million, based on a gold price of US$3,000/oz. Production is anticipated to be weighted towards the first half of the year, driven by first gold sales from the Korali-Sud royalty This guidance represents a 38% increase in GEOs and 74% year-on-year increase in adjusted revenue at the mid-point of guidance, with full exposure to higher gold prices Elemental Altus has a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") in place to purchase up to 12,288,129 common shares in the capital of the Company   Dave and I then do a rapid-fire review of a number of royalty partner updates at Karlawinda, Caserones Korali-Sud (Diba), Bonikro, Wahgnion, Laverton, Cactus, and Mactung;  each with compelling advancement and growth opportunities.     Turning to the financial strength of Elemental Altus, Dave highlights the US$27 million in cash on hand at quarter's end, the increased revenue guidance of over US$35 million this year, upwards of US$20 million in one-off payments coming in over 2025, the $50 million credit facility on hand, and the solid strategic investor and financial backing from Tether Investments.  All of these factors position the company to review making accretive future acquisition transactions this year and moving forward.     If you have any follow up questions for Dave regarding Elemental Altus Royalties, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Elemental Altus Royalties at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to view recent news on the Elemental Altus Royalties website

Show Notes:Welcome back to Turn Left at the Cactus, the podcast where we explore life, culture, and community in San Felipe, Baja, Mexico.Today's guest is someone who truly embodies the spirit of this town — Jackie Kamasho. Jackie was born just up the road in Mexicali but has lived her entire life here in San Felipe. A proud mother of three and a grandmother, Jackie has roots that run deep through this community.She's worn many hats over the years — teacher, cultural coordinator, postal worker, even a brewery employee — all while raising her family and earning a degree in communications from UABC. Her story is one of resilience, joy, and heart.What makes Jackie's story especially compelling for our expat and snowbird listeners is the perspective she offers — someone who has seen San Felipe grow from a small fishing village to a bustling blend of locals and foreigners. Jackie talks openly about the challenges of raising children with specialneeds, renovating a home downtown, and the deep gratitude she feels toward the foreign community that she says has "helped increase our quality of life."She's insightful, funny, and completely unfiltered. Whether you've just arrived in San Felipe or have been wintering here for years, Jackie's stories — from fish taco favorites to advice on blending into Mexican culture — are full of warmth and wisdom.Stick around — you don't want to miss this conversation.Thanks for listening!Cal Whedbee/Producer & Co-HostTricia Sikes/Co-Host & Thematic Music Coordinator Linda Wiggins & Marnie Ross/Research & HWN (Help Where Needed)Support this podcast with a propina: https://www.ko-fi.com/turnleftatthecactus

Go to www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Guest: Blaine Anderson is a dating coach and matchmaker. She's helped more than 3,000 happy clients attract and build long-term relationships. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and she earned a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank. Notes: Someone asked Charlie Munger… How do I get a great wife? Deserve one. The best way to find a good spouse is to deserve one, he often said. In business, this translates to working hard and behaving with integrity consistently over time. “To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want.” What is the #1 reason you don't get a second date? You talk about yourself too much.  When you go out to eat with someone, what percentage of the time are you talking? Aim to talk 30% and listen 70%. The reason we don't get the second date or the follow-up meeting with the prospect is because we are talking too much. Pull conversational threads: Avoid rapid-fire questioning by following up on answers with related questions. Share brief personal connections to create dialogue rather than interrogation. "You want to pull the conversational thread... ask a follow-up question about that same thing. That's where you can start having a conversation." Marketing your trajectory matters: People want to know you're going places. Share your goals, dreams, and aspirations authentically to demonstrate upward momentum. "You want to find the balance of sharing things about yourself that indicate you are on an upward trajectory... from a place of getting to know one another." Nice guys need boundaries: Being overly accommodating to people you barely know signals weakness. Hold boundaries and don't put others before yourself too quickly. "The general problem with the nice guy is he's putting other people before himself, including people he doesn't know very well." Confidence must be genuine: Authentic confidence comes from actually becoming confident through mastery, not just faking body language. Get genuinely good at something. "You have to become that... get really good at something... picking something in your life and getting really good at it is gonna help you build confidence." Don't rush to the close: Whether in dating or sales, focus on building connection and trust before asking for commitment. The close is the period at the end of a long sentence. "If you approach a woman or you approach a deal and you're just trying to get to the final step... you're going to rush through a lot of the important and essential steps." High-value people are in demand: Present yourself as someone others want to be around. People are naturally drawn to those who appear sought-after by others. "We want the thing that's in demand. We want the thing that other humans recognize as high value." Genuine curiosity creates connection: Being authentically interested in others' experiences is a powerful form of respect and love. Ask questions that take conversations deeper. "Your underlying emotion is important... becoming a genuinely curious person who is interested in meeting another human." Physical fitness affects confidence: Looking and feeling good about yourself impacts how you show up in every interaction. Invest in your physical health. "You gotta feel good about how you look... who wants to partner up with a slug? Nobody." "You should always be dating your partner, whether it's your first date, your 40th date, or you've been married for 40 years."' "The close is the period at the end of a very long sentence." "Deserve one." - Charlie Munger's advice on getting a great spouse Women want 3 things - social status, to be desired, flirty/fun… They want an optimist. If things aren't going well, look in the mirror. Take accountability. Her Twitter profile picture. Show the whites of your eyes. Smile. She has two tattoos. Omega is her middle name. Cactus for Tucson, AZ. How to build genuine confidence? Get good at something. Become an expert. Work really really hard. Be in great physical shape. It's hard to be confident if you don't like how you look. Sounds harsh, but it's true. Confidence comes from evidence. Create some evidence for youself by consistently working hard and getting great at something. That confidence will ooze out of you wherever you go. Shark Tank. Scary, anxious, nervous. Did a deal with Mark Cuban. Advice - If you're building a business, listen to what your customers want. What does your ideal client want? Build that.

Notas del EpisodioBienvenidos de nuevo a Turn Left at the Cactus, el podcast donde exploramos la vida, la cultura y la comunidad de San Felipe, Baja California. Hoy nos acompaña una invitada muy especial: Jackie Kamasho. Aunque nació en Mexicali —porque San Felipe no tenía instalaciones para cesáreas, y aún no las tiene— Jackie ha vivido toda su vida aquí, en este hermoso puerto. Es madre de tres hijos, abuela orgullosa, y una mujer con un fuerte arraigo en la comunidad.Con una trayectoria diversa, Jackie ha sido maestra, organizadora de eventos culturales, trabajadora postal y más — todo mientras estudiaba y criaba a su familia. Es la primera mujer de su familia materna en obtener un título universitario, lo cual logró con gran esfuerzo y dedicación. Lo que hace que su historia resuene tanto con nuestra audiencia —especialmente con expatriados y snowbirds— es su mirada local y honesta sobre los cambios en San Felipe: desde sus días tranquilos hasta los desafíos del crecimiento poblacional, el turismo, y la integración cultural. Jackie también comparte momentos personales muy profundos, como el cuidado de sus hijos con necesidades especiales y su agradecimiento sincero hacia la comunidad extranjera que ha brindado apoyo constante. Es directa, divertida y sumamente real. Si vives en San Felipe o solo vienes cada invierno, esta conversación te va a inspirar, informar… y quizás hacertereír.¡No te la pierdas!Si estas disfrutando de este podcast, por favor dale un LIKE y subscribete en Spotify, Apple, o Google.

How I Modified My Fitness Routine To Avoid Burnout and Promote Longevity

The B.rad Podcast

This show was inspired by a very thoughtful question from a college-aged listener named Justin who wanted to know what my current training regimen is like, and if I believe zone two training is really necessary, if VO two max workouts are really necessary, and if I think he should just take up a sprinting regimen (since the sprinters seem to look the best and be the healthiest)? Thanks, Justin, for teeing me up—I thought his questions would make an interesting show and update on my current fitness routine, and in this show, I explain everything I am doing and why. You will hear my number 1 recommendation (extricating yourself from that extreme exhausting endurance training program so that you have some energy to pursue fitness goals and longevity properly), why I believe aging gracefully depends far more on maintaining explosive power than grinding out long cardio sessions, and why your 400-meter time might be one of the most telling longevity markers. I explain how aging affects the anaerobic system and why preserving fast-twitch muscle fibers is critical for staying strong and functional—especially as we get older. I challenge popular ideas around zone two and VO₂ max training, and make the case for true sprinting (not HIIT or steady-state cardio) as the most efficient and powerful intervention for fitness, fat loss, and longevity. I walk through my exact training regimen, from my morning mobility routine to high jump drills, strength sessions, and sprint workouts—highlighting how I structure my week around short, explosive efforts, long rest periods, and intuitive decision-making rather than weekly mileage. Whether you’re 21 like Justin or well into your 60s, this episode offers practical insights for anyone looking to train smarter, avoid burnout, and build lifelong athleticism. TIMESTAMPS: The first step is to extricate yourself from that extreme exhausting endurance training program so that you have some energy to pursue fitness goals and longevity properly. [01:01] Looking at Brad's current training regimen, we learn the benefits of maintaining that anaerobic conditioning, that explosive power in terms of longevity and a well-balanced regimen. [05:49] The Cactus to Clouds hike is an example of Brad's performance of a 15-hour hike after he had no endurance training to prepare. [09:03] The experts are now strongly concurring that preserving functional muscle strength and power and explosiveness and muscle mass is the single key to longevity. [12:41] The fast twitch muscle fibers decline much more quickly and significantly than the type one endurance fibers. [15:01] Falling is a huge risk factor as we age. It is very important to remain strong. [18:58] Brad has switched from a lifelong endurance emphasis to recalibrating his mentality to appreciate stress and rest. [19:56] If you drift beyond the fat max heart rate, you are inviting the opposite of your desired benefits from exercise. [24:56] Kipchoge practices at about 83% of his weekly mileage in zone one. [27:15] Now that Brad has hit the 60-year-old mark, how does he train? Brad's morning exercise pattern has changed a bit over the years, since he also has to prepare for his sprint workouts. [29:13] Go barefoot as often as possible to regain the best foot functionality. [31:54] Through trial and error, Brad has discovered that a high-intensity day followed by two easy days in a row, really works for him. [40:02] It's not about burning calories through strenuous exercise, but rather fat reduction is about hormone optimization. [44:12] The sprint workout always begins with extensive warmup and preparatory drills. [46:44] Strength training is when you calculate 85% of your best time. You don't want to overdo it just to make it, you really want to feel it and feel like you're working hard. [54:52] In the high jump practice, Brad does a variety of drills. [01:01:36] After your tough workout you can bring back your parasympathetic system by lying down, resting, elevating your feet, and doing some nasal breathing. [01:03:22] In the book, Body by Science, there is listed the Big Five exercise protocol. They are the Chest Press, Overhead Press, the Lat-Pull-down, the Seated row, and the Leg Press. [01:05:16] The ways Brad uses CORDZ vary and there is little chance for muscle soreness compared to lifting weights. [01:09:38] Keep your exercise things in plain sight around to entice you and remind you to take a few minutes to use them. [01:10:32] Rest and recovery days was the third step to Brad's routine. This includes two full days after high intensity sprinting or high jumping sessions. [01:13:42] Sometimes the tendons fool you when they become inflamed. [01:17:49] Try to build a habit of blocking out a time of day for your training. [01:21:25] Brad's diet is focused on meat and fruit. [ 01:23:10] De-emphasize your devotion to steady-state cardio.

Bible Reading: Psalm 119:9-16Rylee leaned back to see the top of the huge saguaro cactus next to her. Its spiny arms reached out and up toward the sky. "With so many big arms, this thing should be holding something. Try sitting on one of its arms, Easton," Rylee said with a grin."No way!" said Easton. "I'm not sitting on those prickly things!""Those arms," said Dad, "are holding what is probably the most valuable thing in the entire region.""And I know what it is," Easton said. "Water! Cactus plants can live in the dry, hot desert by storing water inside their trunk and arms.""That can't be right," said Rylee, looking around at the sand and rocks. They extended as far as she could see. "There's no water here!""Easton is right," said Dad. "Cactus roots don't go very deep into the earth. Instead, they go down only about three feet and then spread out about a hundred feet in all directions. The spread-out roots draw in every drop of rain, sending it to a hidden storage area in the arms and trunk of the cactus. That inner water supply is what keeps this cactus alive and growing. These big fellas can soak up as much as two hundred gallons of water--enough to last them a whole year!""Yeah, that's why they're pleated like an accordion," Easton said, eager to show his knowledge. "The pleats expand as the spongy material inside absorbs water.""That's incredible!" said Rylee. "Well, Mr. Cactus, I can see you're a pretty smart guy!"Dad smiled. "One with a good lesson for us about the importance of storing things.""About storing water?" asked Easton. "I don't really mind carrying a water bottle--and I like the size of my arms the way they are!"Dad laughed. "I wasn't thinking of your arms, Easton. Let's try your heart! I hope both of you will store God's Word in your heart and mind. Then when things get difficult, you can draw from those words of hope, comfort, and guidance. Knowing God's Word helps us remember what Jesus has done for us and that He's always with us. Like water in a dry desert, it will nourish you and help you grow in your relationship with Him." –Trudy Vander VeenHow About You?Have you been growing spiritually? Are you storing God's Word in your heart by reading the Bible and memorizing verses? Storing God's Word in your heart will help you understand how much Jesus loves you and who you are in Him. Read and study it so He can use it to guide you in your life, comfort you in hard times, and remind you of His promises. Today's Key Verse:Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. (NKJV) (Psalm 119:11)Today's Key Thought:Soak up God's Word

A Rosie On The House ReplayIn this reply episode of 'Rosie on the House', Romey Romero and Farmer Greg host special guest Cactus Kelly, a master gardener and foraging educator. We explore foraging native edibles in Arizona, highlighting various plants like Palo Verde beans, mesquite, and Ironwood. Cactus Kelly shares valuable insights on how to harvest, prepare, and consume these native plants, often found in urban environments. We also delve into the uses of weeds, cacti such as prickly pear and barrel cactus, and other native flora. We dive into foraging techniques, the nutritional benefits of these plants, and how they support local ecosystems. The segment aims to educate and encourage sustainable harvesting practices while introducing traditional uses and modern applications of native desert plants. Cactus Kelly is a master gardener, a foraging educator at the Desert Botanical Garden, and the owner of Cactus Kelly Urban Foraging Institute. Her specialty is low desert plants around Phoenix, Arizona, where we only get about seven inches of rain annually. Bean trees, seasonal greens, weeds, and the cactus fruits are the primary, wild, edible foods that she has been exploring ways to harvest, store, make flour, bake, and cook with them for over 10 years.
