Send us a messageEvery one of us is building something. We're stacking experiences, relationships, responsibilities, dreams, and goals on top of one another. Some of these pieces feel rock-solid, while others feel a little risky. And just like a Jenga tower, sometimes we don't fully recognize how much weight we're carrying until the structure starts to sway. The question isn't whether we're building, because we all are. The question is whether we're building on something strong enough to support the life we're creating.In this second episode of the summer series centered around board games, we take a look at Jenga, focusing on what it means to build a life with intention. We'll talk about the importance of strong foundations, the danger of small unchecked shifts, the daily work of balance, and how to respond when things fall apart. Whether your tower feels steady right now or a little shaky, it's my hope that this conversation will help you step back, reflect, and make sure you're building on what matters most.

Why do we focus so much on tactics and so little on strategy? In this episode, Mike and Jim tackle the divide between street-level action and big-picture thinking. Drawing on lessons from policing, the military, and community crime prevention, they explore how individual cops, community members, and leaders can influence criminal decision-making—not just react to it. Topics include resource constraints, the Broken Windows theory, and strategies for shifting offender perceptions to prevent crime before it occurs.

Les Oilers d'Edmonton affronteront les Panthers de la Floride en finale de la Coupe Stanley cette année. Le capitaine des Oilers, Connor McDavid, inscrira-t-il enfin son nom sur la Coupe Stanley? Écoutez le journaliste au LNH.com, Jean-François Chaumont, qui assistait à la journée des médias de la Coupe Stanley à Edmonton, en discuter avec Jean-François Baril. L’attaquant des Stars de Dallas, Mavrik Bourque, a connu une vraie première saison et de vraies premières séries dans la LNH. Son équipe s’est même rendue en finale de l’Ouest, mais s’est malheureusement inclinée face aux Oilers d’Edmonton. Le Québécois de 23 ans a été impressionné d’affronter les Nathan MacKinnon et Connor McDavid lors du tournoi printanier, mais c’est surtout les prouesses de son coéquipier Mikko Rantanen qui l’ont marqué! L’attaquant originaire de Plessisville se confie également sur ses objectifs à court terme : «Je peux être un joueur de centre top 9 de la prochaine saison». L’ancien joueur de la LNH et spécialiste hockey au Réseau Cogeco, Antoine Roussel, revient quant à lui sur la finale de la Coupe Stanley. Il discute notamment des forces et des faiblesses de ces deux équipes. «Une équipe qui est bien articulée, c'est la Floride. Et quand je regarde leur alignement, puis la manière dont ils ont performé cette saison en éliminatoires, ils m'impressionnent beaucoup parce que la profondeur est tout simplement écœurante à l'écran.» Le Rocket de Laval s’est incliné 3-2 mardi soir en finale de l’Est face aux Checkers de Charlotte. Les hommes de Pascal Vincent se sont donc fait blanchir 4-0 dans cette série et sont officiellement éliminés. Le descripteur du Rocket de Laval et spécialiste de hockey junior à RDS, Stéphane Leroux, a parlé de la déception mais également du futur de cette équipe : «C'est de l'expérience qu'on est allé chercher!».

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins takes listeners deep into a lesser-known corner of American mob history—Denver, Colorado. While most think of Denver as a gateway to the Rockies and a hub for skiing, few realize it also served as the long-standing stronghold of the Smaldone crime family. Gary uncovers the roots of organized crime in southern Colorado, beginning in Pueblo, where early mobster James Coletti, a one-time associate of the Bonanno crime family, helped lay the foundation. He and the infamous Carlino brothers, including Pete Carlino—dubbed the "Al Capone of Southern Colorado"—dominated bootlegging during Prohibition and attempted to expand northward. But peace efforts failed, and bloody gang wars soon erupted, culminating in drive-by shootings, betrayal, and ultimately murder. From there, the story shifts to Joe Roma, Denver's would-be peacemaker and one-time crime boss, whose 1933 assassination created a power vacuum. Into that void stepped the Smaldone brothers—Clyde (“Flip Flop”), Eugene (“Checkers”), and Clarence (“Chauncey”)—who would dominate Denver's underworld from the 1940s through the 1980s. Their North Denver restaurant, Gaetano's, became both a community staple and a notorious mob hangout. Gary details the family's criminal enterprises, from gambling, loan sharking, and bootlegging to jury tampering and racketeering, including the high-profile 1953 gambling raid that brought federal heat. But the Smaldones weren't just feared—they were admired by many locals for their generosity, community involvement, and quiet acts of charity. They donated to orphanages, covered college tuition, and ensured no one in the neighborhood went hungry, blurring the line between gangster and good neighbor. The episode also explores the Smaldones' national connections, including partnerships with mob bosses in St. Louis, Detroit, and Chicago. Gary breaks down their Las Vegas Riviera Casino skim, in collaboration with Anthony Giordano, and how FBI wiretaps and surveillance exposed their involvement in one of the Mafia's most lucrative rackets. Figures like “Fat Willie” Villano, a nephew of Checkers, handled casino marker collections, sometimes doubling as muscle for overdue debts. As always, Gary brings a thoughtful and grounded perspective, asking: Were the Smaldones cold-blooded criminals or Robin Hood-style community protectors? The truth lies somewhere in between.

Transcript In this episode, I delve deep into the intriguing world of organized crime in Denver, Colorado, a city not typically associated with mob activities. The focus of my research centers around the Small Dome family, who dominated the organized crime scene for several decades. Many listeners are surprised to learn that organized crime had roots in Denver, often overshadowed by its reputation as a skiing and outdoor paradise. But as we explore the historical timeline, we uncover how mob influence permeated this seemingly tranquil landscape. To kick off the narrative, I introduce the criminal origins in southern Colorado with figures like James Coletti, who made his reputation in Pueblo during the late 1950s. We examine Coletti's ties to the Bonanno family and his subsequent move to Pueblo, where he became embroiled in local organized crime. The podcast elaborates on key players like Pete Carlino, dubbed the "Al Capone of Southern Colorado,

Bad moms were in the news this week - one killed her 3-year-old daughter for the Lord and one sold her 6-year-old daughter for parts. A Florida man fought a gator and the law (and the law won), a women beat up a child on a plane, and a Coast Guard vet turned OnlyFans model took justice into her own hands. A Checkers employee killed a man over mayo, a FL substitute teacher punched an autistic child, and people were very unhappy with this weekend's Roots Picnic. Gen Z needs Adulting 101, Mary Lou Retton got a DUI, and a teen died from the Tackle Game. We also discuss Trump's latest round of pardons and his response to TACO.

My Life As A Landlord | Rentals, Real Estate Investing, Property Management, Tenants, Canada & US.
Every day is a difference in how you spend your time. Some people spend their time at their job, earning the wage that then gets reported on a pay check and depending on where you are, either gets reported on a W-2 in the US, a T-4 in Canada, or another instrument documenting how much money you've earned with your time spent. Limited moves and limited outcomes with a J-O-B. This is what many equate to playing checkers: limited moves and limited outcomes. Then there are chess players; chess has many pieces that have different moves, with over five million outcomes. In today's episode, I explore the game of checkers versus chess, the players in those two games: tenants, landlords and developers, and then depending on which one you are, we talk about how each one would react in rental markets and other worldly events. I also offer options for growing and getting out of whatever game you are playing or role you are fielding. That and more!
