Brixton Metals (TSX-V: BBB) has announced a significant copper-gold porphyry discovery at the Catalyst target within its Thorn Project in northwestern British Columbia. Chair and CEO Gary Thompson discussed the breakthrough with Mining Stock Daily. The first-ever drill holes at Catalyst intersected broad zones of copper-gold mineralization from surface, including hole THN25-343, which returned 424 metres of 0.30% CuEq, with higher-grade intervals of 98.5 metres at 0.50% CuEq and 16.5 metres at 1.05% CuEq. Thompson said the mineralization from surface, coupled with a large geochemical and geophysical footprint and Maricunga-style veins, points to “a fertile multi-phase porphyry system at Catalyst.”The company believes the new discovery underscores the potential of the emerging 8–10 kilometre Camp Creek Corridor. Brixton plans additional drilling next season to test the full extent of mineralization at Catalyst and nearby targets. Thompson also provided an update on the Trapper gold target, where earlier this month Brixton intersected 22.15 metres of 4.44 g/t gold, including 1.50 metres of 57.20 g/t gold.

Humanity has long misunderstood fertility. Part 76 of The Story of Creation is a profound exploration where Michelle reveals that fertility energy is not merely physical—it is the universal mechanism of creation itself. Every idea, curiosity, and intention you hold carries the potential to shape reality. From a universal creation perspective, matter is the final 1–2% of a much larger energetic equation. Everything begins with vibration. When you understand energy before matter, you begin to see that your life, your fulfillment, and even your purpose unfold through curiosity and intention. Michelle uncovers how the human brain has been conditioned to seek satisfaction in the physical, mistaking fleeting pleasure for creation. Yet, true fertility—the energy of existence—comes from your soul's vibration expanding beyond limitation. Through this revelation, you'll understand how human potential is born from freedom, curiosity, and the courage to explore who you are without fear. This episode dismantles the illusion that fertility is limited to reproduction. Instead, it reveals that every aspect of your life—your passions, projects, relationships, and ideas—exists as a reflection of your spiritual evolution. Fertility is the process by which you, as a Creator, bring your inner world to life. Learn how to transform shame into wisdom, rediscover fulfillment through energetic awareness, and understand that all information in existence—past, present, and future—is available through vibration. The history of humanity and existence is not lost; it is written in energy, encoded in your DNA, waiting to be remembered. Watch this exploration to reconnect with the universal truth of who you are: a living manifestation of the Creator's original intention, here to evolve consciousness and restore balance to existence through your participation in creation itself. 0:00 – The Foundation of Universal Creation 2:05 – Understanding Fertility Energy Beyond the Physical 3:50 – How Beliefs Shape Reality and Creation 6:01 – Fertility as the Mechanism of Manifestation 7:33 – The Energy That Creates Matter 10:08 – Misunderstanding Sex and the True Nature of Fertility: The Vortex of Creation Explained 12:10 – Freedom, Curiosity, and Fulfillment 13:28 – Reconnecting to Your Creative Power 14:16 – Why Depression and Anxiety Disconnect You from Creation 15:01 – Curiosity as the Catalyst of Evolution 19:19 – Shame, Secrets, and Hidden Wisdom 20:43 – Energy Holds All Information in Existence 26:33 – Creating Your Legacy 31:46 – Human Potential and the Future of Evolution ✨ Join Michelle and the Universal Council to explore the profound truth of existence, your role in evolution, and the power within your soul.

Last Thursday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright directed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to consider rulemaking to fast-track interconnection for large loads — as long as they agree to be curtailable or colocate with dispatchable generation. So what does this proposal actually mean for interconnection?  In this episode, Shayle talks with Allison Clements, former FERC commissioner and current partner with digital infrastructure advisory firm ASG. Allison is also principal of 804 Advisory. Shayle also talks with Tyler Norris, doctoral student at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. Allison, Tyler, and Shayle cover topics like: How the proposal would standardize interconnection procedures for certain large loads, with study periods no longer than 60 days  The jurisdictional shift: asserting federal authority over a process traditionally under state purview   The types of eligible loads, including traditional data centers as well as ones that colocate with generation, also known as “hybrid facilities” The duration of flexibility and whether 2-hour, 4-hour, or longer durations are needed for curtailment Whether flexibility resources should be behind-the-meter or front-of-meter The potential disadvantages for bring-your-own-supply or bring-your-own-VPP Resources: Latitude Media: Wright directs FERC to fast track large load interconnection   Latitude Media: How the world's first flexible AI factory will work in tandem with the grid   Latitude Media: OpenAI pushes the White House to invest in the grid to compete with China   E3: Demand Response as a Capacity Resource in SPP's Era of Data Center Growth  Canary Media: In a first, a data center is using a big battery to get online faster  Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am honored to welcome a special guest, Richard Fain, Chairman and former CEO of Royal Caribbean Group (RCG). Mr. Fain's new book, Delivering the WOW: Culture as Catalyst for Lasting Success (October 21, 2025; Fast Company Press), reveals actionable lessons from Royal Caribbean's rapid growth: a culture that motivated employees to deliver WOWs to customers, transforming the customer and employee experience all at once with electrifying energy. RCG's trademark culture and dedication to delivering wows also catalyzed innovations including the world's first and biggest megaships, beginning with Sovereign of the Seas in 1988—Cheryl and my first cruise, also in 1988—peerless onboard experiences, including soaring atriums and unexpected ice-skating rinks at sea; and unforgettable offboard experiences including Perfect Day at CocoCay, a private island resort owned by RCG.  Proceeds from proceeds from Delivering the WOW will be donated to the Fain Scholarship Fund, a scholarship program Richard Fain established in 1999 to support the education of Royal Caribbean Group employees and their children, which he has been contributing to at an average of $200,000 in annual support. Richard Fain served as chairman and CEO from 1988 to 2022 when he transitioned to his current role as chairman. Under his leadership, the company grew from a small cruise line to its current place as one of the world's most valuable vacation companies. Recognized for his “visionary leadership”, Mr. Fain was named one of the 30 World's Best CEOs by Barron's for three years running and received the Ultimate CEO Award from the South Florida Business Journal. His international awards include the rank of Officier in the Légion d'Honneur of France and Commander, First Class, of the Order of the Lion of Finland. He and his wife of 56 years have four children and eight extraordinary grandchildren.Do you have a dream car?Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

Bad Bunny has dominated headlines this week after a run of major career milestones and headline-grabbing announcements. Bad Bunny—whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—made waves by announcing his sixth studio album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” (I Should Have Taken More Photos), set for release on January 5, 2026. According to NME and coverage across music outlets, the announcement came in a creatively reflective video teaser featuring Puerto Rican filmmaker Jacobo Morales. The video explores nostalgia and the fleeting nature of life, themes that listeners can expect to run through the new album. He also surprised fans with a holiday single, “Pitorro de Coco,” which touches on heartbreak during the festive period while nodding to Puerto Rican tradition as it's named after a classic rum beverage. This introspective angle suggests a more personal evolution in his music style, which has continued to attract both critical and popular acclaim.Last Thursday, Bad Bunny was the centerpiece of the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami, appearing in person after much speculation. He won an impressive eleven awards, including Top Latin Artist of the 21st Century—a distinction presented by the legendary Rita Moreno. His album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” took home the Top Latin Album of the Year, solidifying its status as a streaming juggernaut and confirming that “DtMF,” one of its singles, was also the streaming song of the year. During the ceremony, Bad Bunny took time to thank his peers and acknowledged the collective achievements within Latin music, emphasizing its growing global reach and the collaborative nature of its modern movement.The buzz around Bad Bunny isn't limited to music. On the global stage, he set social media alight with the announcement that he will be the halftime headliner at Super Bowl LIX in February 2026. This will mark the first time that the performance features an exclusively non-English-language artist. According to reporting in The Catalyst and Embrace Boston, this announcement sparked both widespread celebration and a notable backlash, particularly from conservative circles. Critics—including former President Donald Trump—have voiced resistance online, questioning the NFL's choice. But NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has stood firm, noting Bad Bunny's massive popularity and commercial impact. This selection highlights ongoing debates about who gets to represent American culture and signals a push toward a broader, more inclusive national stage. Since the announcement, Bad Bunny's streaming numbers have spiked, and conversations about Puerto Rican identity, cultural representation, and the politics of American football are trending on both traditional news and social media channels.Bad Bunny's win streak continues beyond music and sports. He's appearing in a newly released teaser for “Happy Gilmore 2” with Adam Sandler and maintains a significant presence with younger audiences as one of the most followed and influential artists online. ChartMetrics and Kworb report record streaming stats for his albums, especially for “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” and “Baile Inolvidable.” The Most Wanted Tour, which wrapped earlier this year, closed 2024 as one of the top grossing tours, bringing in over $210 million in revenue.This week, listeners are witnessing Bad Bunny not just cement his legacy in music, but also challenge, provoke, and expand cultural boundaries across the mainstream—whether that's on the Billboard stage, at the upcoming Super Bowl, or in Hollywood. His fearless self-expression and advocacy for Puerto Rican identity are reshaping the conversation about music, fame, and representation on a global scale.Thank you for tuning in and be sure to come back next week for more insights and updates.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. In our first segment of Catalyst this week, Madison Charbonneau sits, down with Jaiden Reilly, Marketing Coordinator at Makeup Eraser. They discuss how Jaiden began her journey as an intern at Makeup Eraser while attending Loyola Marymount University, later turning that opportunity into a full-time position after graduation. Now, as Marketing Coordinator, she manages content creation across Instagram, TikTok, and the company's website while collaborating with teams throughout the brand to bring its vision to life. Madison and Jaiden also dive deep into the creative process behind brand-aligned content, the importance of collaboration, and the realities of working in marketing and social media. Finally, Jaiden reflects on how she landed her dream job and what her day-to-day work looks like in the fast-paced beauty world, and offers practical tips for students and recent graduates about how to stand out, build a personal brand, and translate passion into a career. We conclude Catalyst this week learning about what it is like to be an Associate Producer at NBC Universal, when Ella Deiner brings us an interview with Caylen Greenberg. Caylen talks about her path into the film industry—from her first experience behind a camera to her current role at one of the world's leading media companies. Caylen shares how her early curiosity for filmmaking evolved into a professional pursuit, beginning with her decision to attend film school. She reflects on the internships that gave her hands-on experience and opened doors in the industry, as well as the professors and projects that helped her grow as a storyteller and creative. They also discuss Caylen's current work as an Associate Producer, where every day brings new challenges and opportunities. They wrap up with a look at the variety of projects Caylen manages, the skills that have helped her succeed, and the thrill of seeing her work out in the world, including lessons learned, obstacles overcome, and her long-term goals in the film industry.

True clarity doesn't always feel easy. It doesn't always arrive tied up with a bow. Sometimes it's the current that pulls you forward — momentum that moves through your body before your mind can catch up. And sometimes it's the clean, sharp edge that cuts away everything that's no longer aligned. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what clarity has been asking of me lately — from stepping back to listen, to making hard, necessary decisions that changed the trajectory of my business. This is the heart of The Conscious Business Edge — a three-part private podcast series for high-level women who are ready to lead from deeper consciousness, clearer power, and simple, intentional strategy. Launching next week.

Sometimes, the most powerful stories aren't the ones told with perfect polish — they're the ones told as is. In this episode of Communication Queens, host Kimberly Spencer dives deep with Emmy-nominated filmmaker, producer, and motivational speaker Tricia Creason-Valencia to explore the transformational art of storytelling through chaos. From motherhood to mental health, adoption to artistry, Tricia unpacks the raw truth of what it means to show up when life falls apart — and how those cracks let the light (and connection) in. This isn't your average “five-step-to-success” chat. This is a full-bodied, tear-streaked, truth-soaked conversation about creativity, resilience, and the radical act of gentle acceptance. You'll hear how Tricia turned crisis into creative fuel, motherhood into mentorship, and pain into purpose — all while redefining what it means to be a “multi-hyphenate” in a world obsessed with labels. If you've ever found yourself in the messy middle, wondering what's next — this episode will remind you that just showing up is enough.

We've covered AI's massive power appetite in depth over the past year – with good reason. It's the driving force behind much of the change and uncertainty in the energy world right now, from the error bars around our demand for electricity to the lineup of technologies vying to meet that demand.  In this episode Shayle talks to his colleague Andy Lubershane, head of research and partner at Energy Impact Partners, about five big questions arising in this uncertain load-growth environment. They cover topics like: The underappreciated factors that could flip the supply crunch to oversupply, like algorithmic efficiency gains, on-device inference, and off-grid data centers The winners of the AI-drive power boom, including utilities and grid equipment suppliers, and the potential losers like industry that relies on cheap power Whether there will be a “Cambrian explosion” or consolidation of nuclear reactors designs The prospects for enhanced geothermal after Fervo's Cape Station comes online The future of grid-enhancing technologies like advanced conductors and dynamic line ratings, and whether they will make it out of “utility pilot hell” Resources: Steel for Fuel: Why does nobody know how much energy AI will consume? Open Circuit: How do we know if we're in an AI bubble?   Catalyst: The US nuclear groundswell   Catalyst: How geothermal gets built   Latitude Media: In Georgia, stakeholders still can't agree on data center load growth numbers   Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Today's headlines point to a massive potential turning point for crypto markets. Mike Novogratz of Galaxy Digital says macro forces like Fed policy and global liquidity will drive Bitcoin's next major move — just as analysts eye $7.5 trillion in sidelined capital that could flood into risk assets. Meanwhile, Polymarket is seeking funding at a $15 billion valuation, showing surging demand for on-chain prediction markets, and U.S. senators have introduced a bill to ease Bank Secrecy Act reporting limits, potentially reducing regulatory pressure on crypto users. With Bitcoin hovering near $120K, traders are watching closely for the next breakout — could this be the spark that propels BTC into its next leg higher?

Are you a driven mom who wants to be present—but you're drowning in overwhelm and “control mode”?This conversation shows you how to get crystal-clear on your family vision, build secure attachment/connection, and set firm, kind boundaries so kids become self-directed—without you turning into the “mean, controlling parent.”In this candid episode, Greg and Rachel break down the yin–yang of parenting—high standards + healthy surrender—so you can lead your family without micromanaging. You'll learn time-chunking, strategic disengagement, and simple charts & systems (starting with the morning routine) that create calm, predictable days. We also unpack why quality and quantity time (especially in key developmental years) is the foundation of trust, attachment, and influence.If you've ever thought, “I've tried everything,” this is your roadmap to clarity, consistency, and connection—without burnout.Key Takeaways✅ Vision first: You can't hit a target you don't have—define your family vision and align daily “micro-visions.”✅ Attachment over control: Connection creates cooperation; control breeds rebellion or resentment.✅ Quality and quantity time: Presence (especially ages 0–6, and up to 25) builds trust and influence.✅ Boundaries you honor: Time-chunking + strategic disengagement protect work and family time.✅ Systems over stress: Start with a morning routine chart; train, then let kids choose how within clear boundaries.✅ Lead without micromanaging: Be playful + firm on non-negotiables; give freedom on details.✅ The obstacle is the way: Overwhelm signals where to build skills and systems next.Memorable Quotes

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. Sophia Hall begins this week's episode of Catalyst with her interview of Maia Nantais, an Event Director at The Perfect Event, a premiere event production and planning company operating in Southern California and Arizona. Maia discusses her start as an intern and working her way up to director where she oversees more than 200 events a year—from university galas to private weddings and everything in between. As the pair discuss Maia's career Maia reflects on her professional growth, the creativity and organization required in event planning, and the challenges of transitioning from student to professional life. As they wind down the conversation Maia offers valuable advice for students and recent graduates about persistence, adaptability, and taking initiative when pursuing opportunities. In this week's second segment Emily Murden sits down with Will Buie Jr., a talented young actor best known for his role as Finn on Disney Channel's BUNK'D, his performance in Netflix's thriller In the Tall Grass, and guest appearances on Modern Family and Daytime Divas. Will opens up about getting his start in acting at a young age, the challenges of growing up in a professional environment, and the lessons he's learned along the way. The conversation balances personal reflection with humor and honesty, as Will shares fun stories from set, friendships with co-stars, and insights into the realities of the entertainment industry. He discusses how his early experiences have shaped his outlook on both work and life, and what he envisions for his future in the creative world.

Marc Ost, Co-Owner of Eric's RX Shoppe in Horsham, PA, is here to make it happen.

For six years, The Catalyst brought you conversations with IT leaders solving hard problems. But we kept hearing stories that couldn't fit into a single interview—stories that needed multiple voices, conflicting perspectives, the messy truth of what it's really like out there.Season 7 changes everything.

Each episode weaves together real experiences: the burnout nobody admits to, the worst tech job market ever, AI projects burning millions because someone asked the wrong question.This is what happens when you stop treating IT stories like case studies and start treating them like what they are: human stories about navigating impossible choices.Small Teams, Big Dreams.

Proverbs 23:4-7 NLTDon't wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle. Don't eat with people who are stingy; don't desire their delicacies. They are always thinking about how much it costs. “Eat and drink,” they say, but they don't mean it.The Bible never says that wealth is a sin, but rather the results of focusing on wealth through greed and being a miser is. While the last two sentences in today's passage may feel disconnected from the first three, the correlation is the character of a person shows when it comes to money.Think about this…could you tell a great deal about the habits, focus, and lifestyle of a person by looking at their bank and credit card statements? Absolutely. Our money and its management does not make our character, but rather reflects our character.Is there something we would be proud for people to find out about you if they saw our accounts or looked at our spending? Something we might want to hide?Listen again to Proverbs 23:4-7, but this time in The Message Bible: Don't wear yourself out trying to get rich; restrain yourself! Riches disappear in the blink of an eye; wealth sprouts wings and flies off into the wild blue yonder. Don't accept a meal from a tightwad; don't expect anything special. He'll be as stingy with you as he is with himself.He'll be as stingy with you as he is with himself. … Wow. None of us want these words to ever describe us. Generosity of heart and resources are foundational to a life following Jesus.What area of your life could you be more generous with? Is there someone, or a mission in need, that your contribution might serve right now? Or a person that needs you to give more of yourself to?Let's pray together: “Father, What I have is yours. Money, time, focus. No matter what You ever allow me to have, help me to keep You as the Center and Catalyst of my character. Help me to live as though You are always in control of everything, my finances, what I receive, what I spend, and what I give. As above, so below.”

What does it take to build a culture so strong that it powers 68 ships, 100,000 employees, and 12 million ecstatic guests each year? In this episode, Richard Fain, former CEO and current Chairman of Royal Caribbean Group, shares how he led the company's evolution from a small cruise line into a $16 billion global powerhouse by anchoring performance in purpose and people.

Ever wondered what happens when you take high-achieving entrepreneurs away from their screens and put them on a fishing boat in British Columbia? In this conversation with Sam Vandervalk, founder of ARC Trips, Cam and Otis explore how adventure-based experiences can transform leadership and purpose."I love helping other people," Sam shares, explaining his transition from running a successful fishing guide business to creating mastermind retreats. "It's seeing people really come alive and attach to their mission." This genuine passion for facilitating transformation is evident throughout the conversation as Sam describes how being in a completely new environment helps take people "outside of their normal thought pattern" and opens up creativity.What makes this episode particularly compelling is Sam's insight into the competitive edge of successful guides: "There's a competitive edge, but that competitive edge rests in helping others succeed." This philosophy extends beyond fishing into his approach to leadership development, where he helps entrepreneurs align with their core mission.Whether you're feeling stuck in your business, searching for deeper purpose, or simply curious about how nature-based experiences can spark transformation, Sam's invitation to "bring you to a magical place and set something inside of you that will change the course of your life" offers an intriguing alternative to traditional business development.More About Sam:Sam Vandervalk is the founder of ARC Trips, a premier mastermind retreat experience for high-achieving entrepreneurs and leaders seeking purpose beyond success.

His retreats attract purpose-driven individuals ready to shift from chasing more to living fully.

Bringing empathy and authenticity into leadership and branding builds connection, trust, and sustainable growth.Bridging the Gaps in AgricultureAs an outsider turned advocate for the ag industry, Sarah reveals how misunderstood agriculture is by the average consumer. Her work at Noble West focuses on connecting the value chain — from farmers to consumers — through better storytelling and education.The Power of the ‘Why'Most companies know what they do and how they do it — but few can clearly articulate why they do it. Sarah explains how defining your “why” becomes your competitive edge and the key to meaningful differentiation in both B2C and B2B markets.Intentional Communication and Repetition MatterLike leaders who repeat their vision until it sticks, brands must communicate consistently. Clarity isn't a one-time exercise — it's the result of repetition, alignment, and doing the reps until everyone on the team can clearly articulate the same message.Notable Quotes:“Intentionality is nothing if it's not having impact or getting it done.” – Sarah Tjoa“Leaders can't clarify enough — clarity is one of our greatest responsibilities.” – Sarah Tjoa“Most brands know what they do, but few know why they do it — and the margins are always in the why.” – Sarah Tjoa“As leaders, we have to be deeply flawed, intentional humans.” – Sarah Tjoa“When you build clarity and repeat it until everyone owns it, that's when organizations move with purpose.” – Mark JewellAction Steps:Audit your team's clarity: Does everyone know your company's why and where you're headed?Revisit your messaging: Can you describe what you do — and why it matters — in 20 seconds or less?Reflect on your own “slider”: Where do you need to dial up clarity, care, or urgency this week?Read Radical Candor by Kim Scott — Sarah's top book recommendation for every leader seeking to communicate with both honesty and empathy.Listen If You Are:A leader or marketer navigating change in agriculture or ag techSomeone seeking to clarify your brand's message or company missionA professional balancing creativity, leadership, and communicationPassionate about bridging the gap between farm, food, and consumer

Welcome back! This podcast is where we cut through the fluff and talk about what it actually takes to live your purpose, embody your power, and manifest from truth. Today, we're diving into a phrase that honestly drives a lot of people crazy... “Just allow it.” You've probably heard it, right? And you're like — okay, but WTF does that actually mean?  So let's break this down today — because allowing isn't about sitting back and doing nothing. Allowing is actually one of the most active, courageous, and spiritually mature things you can do. True allowing means getting out of your own way — emotionally, mentally, and energetically. It means you stop controlling how something happens, and instead focus on aligning your energy and showing up as the person who's ready for it. So let's reframe this: Allowing is not something you “do.” It's something you become. It's the vibration of openness, safety, and readiness that says to the universe: “I trust myself. I trust life. I'm open to moving forward.” Mentioned In The Episode
