How do you know when it's worth optimizing your retirement plan and when it's better to keep things simple? This week, Roger answers a listener question by exploring Aristotle's concept of the "golden mean," arguing that the best retirement decisions are rarely found at either extreme. He explains why financial optimization should be measured by the life it enables rather than the dollars it saves and introduces the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) as a practical framework for evaluating trade-offs. Roger also answers listener questions about stepped-up cost basis after the death of a spouse, whether dividends can be used to fund an income floor, and when bonds versus CDs make sense in today's interest rate environment.OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE RETIREMENT ANSWER MAN(00:00) Roger introduces today's discussion on balancing financial optimization with simplicity, previews upcoming episodes, and shares updates on the August replay schedule and September Social Security series.RETIREMENT TOOLKIT(02:31) Finding your "golden mean" between optimizing your retirement plan and keeping it simpleWhy retirement planning often overemphasizes financial optimizationThe difference between optimizing for money and optimizing for lifeHow Aristotle's concept of the golden mean applies to retirement decisionsUsing the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) to make better decisionsRecognizing personal biases before making financial decisionsEvaluating trade-offs and second-order consequences before pursuing tax strategies, Roth conversions, and other optimization opportunitiesLISTENER QUESTIONS(36:35) Roger answers a listener's question about home cost basis. (41:02) Can dividend income be used to fill the gap in my retirement income floor?(44:55) Are bonds still a good conservative investment, or should I use CDs instead?SMART SPRINT(49:55) Practice using the OODA framework on a small, everyday decision this week to determine whether optimizing is truly worth the extra time and effort.CLOSING THOUGHTS(51:24) Roger reflects on how building a resilient retirement plan isn't just about protecting against uncertainty—it also gives you the confidence to lean into life and enjoy retirement more fullyREFERENCESSubmit a Question for RogerSign up for The NoodleNote: The opinions expressed are for informational purposes only and should not replace personalized advice from licensed professionals.

Poe Dameron is a big dang hero and has been since he was about 18 months old. That's all.In this week's episode, “Station Theta Black” and “Bipo” (Resistance Season 1, Episodes 11–12), we dig into Poe Dameron's past as a swashbuckling Rebel-style hero of old, and how he represents the Rebellion within the Resistance.We also sing the praises of General Leia Organa and parse the nefarious thorniness of the First Order's weapons manufacturing scheme. Finally, we nail down why “Bipo” isn't just a filler episode—and how we can all lean into our own personal revolution.Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

Why do morally good people often hesitate to change other people's minds, viewing persuasion as presumptuous, obnoxious, or downright creepy? The University of Washington's professor of philosophy, Dr. Colin Marshall, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss how to successfully bridge deep divides in our highly polarized climate.Dr. Marshall explores the ethics and psychology of civil persuasion in his book, Just Hear Me Out: How to Change Minds Without Lies, Bullshit, or Moral Compromise. They examine how genuine persuasion isn't about manipulation or aggressive takedowns , but rather requires a delicate balance of respect, compassion, and the right environment.In this conversation they explore: Why the fallout of the 2016 US presidential election pushed Dr. Marshall from pure theoretical philosophy into finding practical tools for civil engagement. The crucial difference between manipulative persuasion—where people are treated as obstacles to maneuver—and civil persuasion that honors a person's complete humanity. How combining Immanuel Kant's emphasis on rational respect with Arthur Schopenhauer's focus on deep compassion creates a coherent framework for changing minds. Why attempting to persuade someone at the Thanksgiving table almost always fails, and the importance of establishing an "attention-friendly context" like grabbing a coffee or a beer. Incredible real-world examples of successful persuasion, including Daryl Davis persuading extremists to leave the KKK and Megan Phelps-Roper leaving the Westboro Baptist Church after patient, charitable interactions on Twitter. The concept of "moral myopia"—the deeply human tendency to become so hyper-focused on one moral issue or our own self-respect that we lose sight of the other person's bandwidth and feelings. The psychology of building trust, and why establishing warmth and shared humanity must always come before proving your intellectual competence. This is a conversation for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, and healthy communication who wants to understand how to sincerely navigate our modern disagreements without sacrificing their own moral integrity.Make sure to check out Dr. Marshall's book: Just Hear Me Out: How to Change Minds without Lies, Bullshit, or Moral Compromise

In this episode of Connected FM, host Dean Stanberry, former Chair on IFMA's Global Board of Directors, welcomes Gabe Phillips, CEO of Catalyst Power, for a practical conversation about energy management in an increasingly disrupted market. Gabe explains how facility managers can move beyond treating energy as a fixed operating expense and instead take a more strategic approach to procurement, efficiency and resilience planning. The discussion covers energy contracts, market volatility, demand management, on-site generation and how organizations can evaluate opportunities such as solar, combined heat and power and battery storage. The conversation also highlights the importance of understanding energy baselines, gathering operational data and conducting energy audits before making major investments. Gabe shares why facility managers should focus on building a strong data foundation, leveraging expert advice and carefully evaluating the financial realities behind emerging energy technologies.

America's top-selling economics textbook defines communism as "the most benevolent form of economic system." That single sentence sums up why Texas State Board of Education members Julie Pickren and Brandon Hall asked PJTN president Laurie Cardoza-Moore to testify as they fought a terror-linked campaign to reshape how children learn about Israel, Judaism, and American history. In this webinar, Laurie sits down with Pickren, Hall, and PJTN senior academic fellow Dr. Sandra Alfonsi to unpack what the board won, what's still ahead when high school standards return to a vote in September, and why what happens in Texas doesn't stay in Texas — it shapes curriculum for 25 other states and over 30 million schoolchildren. The conversation also turns to New York's new mayor, with Dr. Alfonsi making the case that "Commie Mamdani" undersells the real ideology at work. This is a conversation about truth in the classroom, the return of the Bible to instructional materials, and the biblical responsibility to make sure the next generation is taught to stand with Israel, not against it.Follow, share, and support PJTN's mission at PJTN.org.0:00 They Renamed Communism in Textbooks0:42 Meet PJTN and Laurie Cardoza-Moore3:20 Inside the Texas TEKS Standards Hearing7:47 Julie Pickren on Defeating CAIR's Amendments11:57 Why High School Standards Got Delayed17:59 Brandon Hall on Putting the Bible Back in Schools25:12 Communism 101: Who Controls Your Child30:20 Q&A: Banning CAIR From Testifying36:11 Free Bluebonnet Curriculum for Every State40:57 How the New Standards Will Be Enforced45:48 Rising Antisemitism and "Commie Mamdani"52:12 Dr. Alfonsi: Communism as a Vehicle for Islamism55:28 Erasing Jewish History From Textbooks1:07:01 Closing Thoughts and How to Get InvolvedDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism.✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨

In this episode of Digi-Tools in a Cruel World, host Indi is joined by global accounting-tech heavyweights Heather Smith (dialling in from a beautiful corner of the UK Cotswolds) and Kendrick Hair (live from the US). Together, the team tears down the massive wave of announcements out of Xerocon London and digs into the platform's aggressive structural shift under CEO Sukinder Singh Cassidy. We dive deep into Xero Ultra, the brand-new plan aimed at the "messy middle"—scaling businesses with 20-200 employees who need multi-entity reporting and predictive cash flows without the massive price tag of a traditional enterprise ERP move. The team also breaks down Xero's massive leap into "Accountable Intelligence." With Xero crossing the 5-million customer milestone, we look at JAX (automated document capture replacing decade-old OCR technology), real-time automatic bank reconciliation, and Xero Force—a game-changing, no-code environment for accountants to build custom AI agents using natural language. Finally, we discuss the ripple effects across the ecosystem, from Dext CEO Sabby Gill's viral LinkedIn post on why they skipped sponsoring the event, to the realities of implementing Silicon Valley-style performance cultures in the accounting tech space.

A lot of people feel like they know who they're supposed to be, how they're supposed to show up, and what they're supposed to value, and they assume those things come from themselves instead of external influences. But we all have internalized beliefs and expectations from others, our culture, and the systems we live in. It takes a beat, sometimes a long one, to get clear on who you actually are and what is actually important to you. It requires building the kind of deep self-trust that allows you to act from your values even when the world is suggesting otherwise.And if you carry relational wounds or other interpersonal or socio-cultural burdens, those experiences can slow down or block your capacity to deepen self-trust, trust in others, grow in courage, and fully inhabit your whole story. That is not a character flaw. It is a developmental reality.My guest today models what becomes possible when you stop performing the version of yourself the world approved of and start trusting yourself and leading from that space. She is building a career and a creative practice rooted in self-trust and values alignment, and she is far from done.MILCK, born Connie K.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! We have argued for a number of months now that A Clash of Kings was written in thematic couplets, and that has never been more true than it is in this discussion, which juxtaposes Jon and Catelyn to reveal their striking similarities. GRRM also uses the repeated structure of these two chapters to draw out some shocking implications: equating Stannis with the White Walkers and interrogating Catelyn's treatment of Jon. Maggie investigates the endless blame game that stretches across these pages alongside a worryingly widespread trend of deferred responsibility. Cam revisits our "living ghosts" theory to figure out why all of our would-be kings feel like they've already lost the war.

From sponsoring the US women's water polo team (yes, he got in the pool) to throwing this weekend's three-day "She Got Game" celebration in Vegas for female Olympians and Paralympians the White House snubbed, Flav explains why he's become one of the loudest voices for female athletes who rarely get their flowers. He also opens up about cutting class to teach himself piano, chasing a real Grammy after his Lifetime Achievement win, bowling at the White House with Dr. Jill Biden, and why, nearly 40 years into his career, he still doesn't think he's made it to the top.

In this popular re-aired episode, Alison talks with Cathy Christen about self-care through the lens of energy, health, and intentional living and their conversation focuses on how nourishing ourselves can come from more than just sleep, food, and exercise.Cathy shares her background in entrepreneurship and explains that after years of pushing hard, she became burnt out and realized that success was not sustainable if she ignored her own wellbeing.They discuss the idea that energy has several parts: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Cathy describes how joy, meaningful relationships, mindfulness, and prayer all contribute to how she feels each day, along with practical habits like time blocking and choosing what matters most.She also explains how her approach changed after having children. Instead of following a rigid routine, she adapted her mornings to include meditation, affirmations, shared family time, and trade-offs with her husband so both of them can care for themselves.They close with practical guidance for listeners who feel overwhelmed. Cathy encourages starting with a clear reason for wanting better health, making a dreams list, finding support through a mentor or community, and being honest about what is draining versus what is life-giving.HIGHLIGHTS:0:06 Energy and Self-Care Reset3:39 Beyond Physical Energy6:04 New Mom, New Routine7:27 Four Kinds of Energy10:01 Fueling What Matters12:48 Finding Your Why15:03 Dream Big, Live Intentionally17:53 Life on Purpose19:22 Delegate the Drain22:04 Forgiveness and Healing25:01 Start With a Mentor27:25 Make Time by Choice29:30 Closing Thoughts on Prioritiesconnect with Cathywebsite: https://cathychristen.comLife As A Masterpiece book: https://a.co/d/06uMkQOWSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

How far will you go to forgive someone? What if they're family? What if they're also your former enemy?In "The Platform Classic" and "Secrets and Holograms” (Resistance Season 1, Episodes 9–10), we talk about the limits of love and loyalty when it comes to family: for Jarek Yeager and his brother, Marcus Speedstar, but also for Captain Doza and his daughter, Ace pilot Torra.We discuss the downsizing of the New Republic military after it deemed the Imperial threat to be over, and Doza's overtures to the First Order. We also wonder whether Yeager (or Doza!) could be a First Order spy…or maybe even a sleeper agent of the Resistance. Come for the thrilling flying sequences and stay for the drama. Seeing Yeager fly for the first time is just as delightful as being completely charmed by Torra Doza.Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

Today, we end our 12-week study of the Odyssey with a discussion on Books 23-24 with Dr. Justin Jackson and Dr. Benedict Whalen of Hillsdale College alongside host, Dcn. Harrison Garlick.There is yelling, laughter, cursing, and general chaos--but more of Homer's truth is unearthed in the process.Check out our ONLINE LIBRARY for resources on the great books.Check out Dr. Justin Jackson's Substack working through the Bible.Check out Dr. Justin Whalen at Hillsdale College.The long-awaited homecoming unfolds with Odysseus and Penelope's emotional reunion, the famous test of the immovable olive-tree bed, and the climactic confrontation with the suitors' vengeful families. The conversation crackles with insight as the guests unpack Penelope's cunning, Odysseus' complex character, parallels to Achilles and Heracles, and the poem's meditation on fidelity, mortality, justice, and the costs of homecoming.Dr. Jackson brings contrarian fire—challenging heroic ideals, celebrating the domestic, and wrestling openly with whether Odysseus' reckoning is justice or raw revenge—while Dr. Whalen offers sharp textual observations on themes of rootedness, temptation, and the poem's unresolved tensions.Expect yelling, laughter, heartfelt disagreement, and the kind of raw intellectual energy that makes great books come alive.Whether you've followed the whole series or are just dipping in, this capstone will leave you rethinking everything you thought you knew about the Odyssey.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Evil Dead Burn is one of the best directed horror movies of the year. It's gnarly, it's fast, and it feels like it has something to prove. In this episode, we're exploring every aspect of the gloriously mean-spirited hunger at the heart of this movie, as well as some problems with runtime, fear factor, and creature design. We also work through some unorthodox comparisons, ranging all the way from Krampus to Succession, before forming some theories about "half deadites" and then zooming out to consider the past and future of this beloved franchise.

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Dr. Dave Rabin | Visit Website In Today's Episode Joining Melody on this episode is Dr. Dave Rabin, a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and co-founder of Apollo Neuro, to explore how chronic stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation affect nearly every aspect of our health. Dr. Rabin shares the science behind the body's stress response, the role of the vagus nerve, and how creating a greater sense of safety can improve sleep, focus, resilience, and recovery. Together, they discuss why stress isn't something we can eliminate, but something we can learn to regulate. From breathwork and mindfulness to wearable technology like Apollo Neuro, this conversation offers practical strategies for improving nervous system health and building long-term resilience. Key Take Aways Chronic stress and unresolved trauma can disrupt the nervous system, contributing to poor sleep, anxiety, inflammation, and chronic disease. The vagus nerve plays a key role in helping the body shift from a stress response into a state of recovery and healing. Nervous system regulation can be supported through simple daily practices such as breathwork, mindfulness, movement, social connection, and wearable technologies. Feeling safe is a biological need that directly influences our ability to heal, learn, perform, and build resilience. Healing isn't about avoiding stress—it's about training the body to recover from stress more effectively. Topics Discussed 00:00 – Welcome to Table Talk Introduction to today's conversation on stress, the nervous system, and resilience. 01:11 – Dr. Dave Rabin's Journey & Apollo Neuro How his work with PTSD patients led to the creation of Apollo Neuro. 04:00 – Understanding the Stress Response The science behind the vagus nerve, safety, and nervous system regulation. 07:00 – How Apollo Neuro Works How wearable touch therapy differs from traditional vagus nerve stimulation. 11:38 – Trauma, Chronic Stress & Health How unresolved stress impacts sleep, immunity, focus, and long-term wellness. 12:30 – Supporting Children & Neurodiversity Using nervous system regulation for ADHD, autism, anxiety, and emotional resilience. 17:00 – You Can't Eliminate Stress Why learning to recover from stress matters more than avoiding it. 20:27 – The Biology of Healing & the Placebo Effect How mindset, safety, and expectation influence healing outcomes. 22:20 – Stress, Blood Pressure & Chronic Disease The connection between stress regulation and long-term physical health. 23:00 – Building Daily Resilience Dr. Rabin shares his favorite Apollo Neuro settings and daily practices. 26:41 – Community, Connection & Safety Why meaningful relationships are essential for nervous system health. 27:34 – Closing Thoughts & Resources Final advice and where to learn more about Apollo Neuro.

In this episode, Dennis sits down with Brock, a civilian critical care flight paramedic who flies Medevac in the States, to break down what it actually takes to move a sick patient from point A to point B — and why drone evacuations are nowhere near as simple as the headlines suggest.They cover the real decision matrix behind scene calls versus interfacility transports, why time-sensitive patients (STEMI, stroke, major trauma) get priority, and the constant safety calculus of weather, maintenance, and crew fatigue. Brock reveals the shocking frequency of “stable” hospital patients who decompensate the moment transport begins — and why the dynamic environment of movement, vibration, and altitude changes everything.They also tackle the hard questions around drone evac: What kind of patient is actually stable enough to fly without a provider? What technology gaps (remote vent/pump titration, redundant IV access, real-time monitoring) must be solved before drones can handle true critical care? And why drone resupply might be the capability we should be training on right now.If you're a medic, planner, or leader betting on unmanned systems to solve evacuation problems in austere or contested environments, this conversation is your reality check.Key Takeaways:Scene crews decide destination based on capability; interfacility decisions are physician-driven.Over-triage happens — CCT assets sometimes get used for patients who could go ground.The “3 to go, 1 to say no” rule keeps aircraft missions safe (weather, maintenance, fatigue).Patients stable in the static hospital environment frequently decompensate once transport starts.True ICU-level patients on vents and drips currently require human titration that drones can't provide.Drone resupply is already viable and should be trained aggressively now.Realistic logistics training prevents dangerous “training scars” in younger medics.Chapters00:00 – Welcome & Why Drone Evacs Are the New Hotness (But Not That Simple)00:27 – Guest Intro: Brock, Civilian Critical Care Flight Paramedic01:59 – Scene Calls vs Interfacility Transports: Who Actually Decides?03:45 – Over-Triage Problem: Using CCT Assets on Patients Who Could Go Ground04:46 – Key Decision Factors: Time-Sensitive Patients (STEMI, Stroke, Trauma, Burns)06:56 – Aircraft Safety Culture: Weather, Maintenance Packages & Crew Fatigue (“3 to Go, 1 to Say No”)09:31 – Ground Critical Care Trucks as Backup When Weather Grounds Flights11:12 – Drone Evacs: What Kind of Patient Is Stable Enough for Unmanned Transport?13:32 – The Core Problem: Static Hospital vs Dynamic Transport Environment15:57 – Why Patients Decompensate in Transport (Real Examples from the Street)18:48 – What Drone Critical Care Would Actually Require (Remote Titration, Redundancy, Monitoring)21:44 – When It's Safer to Leave the Patient Where They Are22:48 – Drone Resupply: Already Working and Why We Need to Train It Now27:03 – Logistics Nightmares in Critical Care Transport28:50 – Training Scars: Why Realistic Logistics Training Matters for Medics29:58 – Closing Thoughts & Where to Find More PFC ContentFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

It's a lighter Friday edition of the Shootaround, and Robert Horry and Rob Jenners are catching up on everything they didn't get to during the July 4th break. First up: the NBA's new one-free-throw rule getting tested at Summer League, and why Horry thinks turning two free throws into one is a solution looking for a problem.   From there it's a quick hit on the Jaguars' reported talks to relocate to London, a look at which current NBA stars have stuck with their teams the longest (Steph Curry leads the pack, with Draymond Green and Devin Booker not far behind), and a debate over whether any of them actually retire where they are.   Then things get silly: a listener sends in a Pacman Jones clip claiming South Carolina had a McDonald's inside the football locker room, which sends Horry and Jenners down a rabbit hole on mispronounced words, a viral video of a five-year-old Mets fan begging to switch to the Yankees, and the fan bases everybody loves to hate on but never actually leaves.   They close things out on a genuinely good note, answering a listener question about the coolest thing Horry's ever done for someone else — a story about giving up hospital privileges for other families with sick kids.   00:00  Cold Open & Intro 00:30  Should the NBA Test a One-Free-Throw Rule? 04:00  Should the Jaguars Move to London? 06:00  Giannis Leaves Milwaukee: Who's Been There Longest? 08:00  Will Any of These NBA Stars Retire Elsewhere? 10:00  The Great McDonald's-in-the-Locker-Room Debate 12:00  Words We All Mispronounce (Pecan, Caribbean & More) 13:00  A Viral Mets Kid Breaks Everyone's Heart 15:00  Fanbases We Love to Hate On 17:30  Listener Question: The Coolest Thing You've Ever Done 19:00  Closing Thoughts & Sign-Off

In this episode, host Bill Thompson sits down with Dr. Pius Kamau, a surgeon, author, and human rights advocate, to discuss his powerful new memoir, *Running with Lions*. Growing up in Kenya under the shadow of British colonialism and the violent Mau Mau uprising, Dr. Kamau's future was entirely uncertain. Yet, fueled by his father's unwavering belief that education was his "northern star," he once walked hundreds of miles to pursue school. Dr. Kamau shares stories of overcoming systemic racism, surviving a horrific car crash that killed two of his professors and scarred his hand, and building a 38-year career as a surgeon. They also discuss his return to post-independence Kenya, the complex realities of its newfound freedom, and his current mission combating human cruelty as a board member of the Coalition Against Global Genocide.Get your copy of Running With Lions by Pius KamauAs an Amazon Associate, Now I've Heard Everything may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Pius Kamau and His Memoir 03:01 The Journey of Education and Overcoming Adversity 05:54 Racism and Its Impact on Life Experiences 08:51 Resilience and the Will to Succeed 12:06 The Aftermath of a Life-Changing Accident 15:08 Parental Influence and the Value of Education 18:04 Reflections on Post-Independence Kenya 20:49 Advocacy Against Global Genocide 24:10 Closing Thoughts and Future AspirationsGuest InformationDr. Pius KamauSocial:Facebook InstagramCoalitoin Against Global Geocide 1991 interview with Hank AaronFor more intriguing and engaging interviews each week, subscribe now on:Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Live service games are finicky and inconsistent, almost by definition. Unfortunately, this fourteenth season of Diablo IV is a major disappointment that feels consistently underbaked. In this episode, we're doing our full "State of the Game" check-in covering everything from fun factor to the reliquary system, discussing the Helltide-heavy and narrative-light seasonal campaign, revisiting the Barbarian and Spiritborn classes, and then spitballing some ways that Diablo 4 could improve its topsy turvy seasonal model.

Rob on Love Island Endgame The countdown to the Love Island finale is underway as Rob, Kirsten MacInnis, and Brian Scally dig into all the drama from this season's penultimate episode of Love Island USA. With only days left, family visits, shifting loyalties, and a surprise Chili's Margarita tasting take center stage. As the race narrows to the core couples, the hosts debate who deserves to win, while sampling snacks and sharing hot takes on both the Islanders and show's endgame strategies. From questioning the slowing pace leading into the finale to dissecting “situationships” and bets on the most shocking winners, the conversation covers every corner of the villa. The crew gives special attention to Sincere's controversial relationship path, the spectacle and awkwardness of villa karaoke, and theories about suspicious voting and betting schemes possibly skewing results. Reliving the highs and lows, Rob, Kirsten, and Scally deliver a blend of food, fun, and passionate Love Island debate, with a guest appearance from Peyton representing Chili's, ready to shake things up with margaritas and deep fried delights. Highlights from this lively episode include: The hosts’ takes on Sincere and Melanie's reunion, with suspicion over whether Sincere's “new leaf” truly signals change or just limited temptation The “team” dynamic of voting—debating who should make the final four and whether strategic voting or outside betting influence the outcome The breakdown of iconic (and not-so-iconic) karaoke performances, especially Kenzie and Dylan's rise and Parmida and Corbin's challenges on stage The running joke about “situationships” and the villa's tendency toward judgment and mess, even as couples lock in and the drama slows Reactions to AfterSun eliminations, calls for a shakeup in the final days, and speculation over long-distance couples like Carl and Aniya With the season's end in sight, which couple stands out as genuine contenders and which storylines are set to close on a flat note? Could surprise alliances or a sudden influx of new bombshells turn the tide in these final moments? Dive into the episode to find out who the hosts believe is coasting toward the win, who's been unfairly judged, and how this season's unique blend of strategy, romance, and karaoke debacles may shape the last days in the villa. 00:00 Introductions and Pre-Finale Energy 06:18 Sincere and Melanie Critiqued 12:14 KC and Aniya's Redemption Arc 16:41 Zach and Kayda “Closed Off” 20:51 Love Island Karaoke Breakdown 26:13 Corbin and Parmida Analyzed 32:01 Reunion Hopes and After Sun Drama 38:02 Season's Endgame Critiqued 44:12 Social Media Misinformation Exposed 50:00 Jen and Caleb's Exit Discussed 55:00 Predictions: Who Will Win? 60:00 Closing Thoughts and Next Steps LISTEN: Subscribe to the We Know Love Island podcast feed!

What does fitness look like when life gets chaotic?In this conversation on the G-Spodcast, Coach Alex VanHouten joins the host for an honest, practical, and sometimes funny conversation about fatherhood, fitness, chronic pain, nutrition, faith, and what it means to steward the body God has given you.The episode begins with a real question from a brand-new father:How do you train, eat well, and stay grounded when your life is suddenly sleep-deprived, stressful, and disorganized?From there, Alex shares how becoming a dad changed his own fitness rhythms, why even a 12-minute workout can matter, and how exercise becomes part of the identity of a faithful father—not just another task on the to-do list.Together, they discuss:How new dads can train in small windows of timeWhy exercise helps support mental health, anxiety, OCD, and cognitionThe difference between real exercise science and fitness marketingWhy the fitness industry often sells what is profitable instead of what worksThe truth about creatine, fasting products, and supplement hypeWhy calories matter—but nutrients matter tooHow bodybuilding culture shaped modern nutrition confusionWhether having a six-pack is actually healthyWhy bio-individuality matters for training, nutrition, and long-term healthAlex's experience with Ehlers-Danlos SyndromeThe difference between training elite operators and everyday peopleHow motivation changes when fitness becomes part of your identityWhy Christianity does not separate the body from the soulThe difference between vanity and stewardship in fitnessThis episode is for new fathers, busy men, Christians trying to understand the body, and anyone who is tired of fitness advice that sounds good online but does not actually work in real life.Your body is not just a machine.It is not just a shell.It is a gift to steward.And even in the chaos of life, fatherhood, pain, and responsibility, you can take the next faithful step.Timestamps01:12 – Welcome to the G-Spodcast01:26 – The Host Shares About Becoming a New Father02:01 – How Fatherhood Changes Fitness and Routine02:30 – Coach Alex's First Fitness Struggle as a Dad03:00 – Why a 12-Minute Workout Still Matters04:00 – Building an Active Fatherhood Lifestyle05:04 – Training While Sleep-Deprived and Overwhelmed06:13 – Exercise and Mental Health: OCD, ADHD, Anxiety, and More07:01 – Fitness Science vs. Fitness Marketing08:18 – Creatine Monohydrate: What Actually Works09:30 – Why Supplement Companies Add Unnecessary Bells and Whistles10:16 – Fasting, Fasting Shakes, and Fitness Industry Confusion11:24 – The Religious Nature of Nutrition Arguments12:30 – Why Calories Became the Center of Fitness Culture13:47 – Why Your Body Is Not a Car14:30 – Calories, Nutrients, Genetics, and Food Quality15:08 – Bodybuilding, Modern Fitness Ideals, and Changing Body Standards17:11 – Is Having a Six-Pack Healthy?19:43 – What Gladiators Teach Us About Body Composition20:19 – Bio-Individuality Explained21:36 – Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers and Genetic Differences23:24 – Olympic Lifters, Muscle Fiber Types, and Genetic Potential24:30 – Amylase, Carbohydrates, and Why People Process Food Differently26:05 – Are We All Equal Genetically?26:42 – Alex's Experience With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome29:44 – Learning to Treat Yourself Like an Outlier30:29 – Training Elite Operators vs. Everyday People31:43 – Mission Mindset vs. General Population Mindset32:31 – Why Motivation Is Hard to Sustain33:43 – Would You Train If Today Were Your Last Day?34:42 – Fitness as Identity, Not Just Motivation35:30 – Fatherhood as a Model for Discipline37:31 – Faith, Fitness, and the Christian Body38:05 – Why Christianity Does Not Separate Body and Soul39:08 – Gnosticism, the Body, and Christian Theology41:43 – The Sins of Fitness: Gluttony, Sloth, Pride, and Envy43:30 – Stewardship as the Narrow Way44:37 – Closing Thoughts and Invitation for Round TwoNew Workout Music By Faithful Fitness

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, we're going deep on something a lot of high-achieving entrepreneurs try to skip: REST. If you've been working hard and you're starting to feel the drain, this one is for you. I get personal in this episode. I take you back to 2011 when I hit a wall that changed everything I thought I knew about capacity, output, and what it actually means to be well.  This year, the Lord pressed on me to take a sabbatical from one-on-one coaching through June and July. Honestly? My first reaction was not peace. It was resistance. But I said yes, and what has happened on the other side of that obedience is exactly what this episode is about. I also walk you through a four-part framework I've been using to rest in a way that actually fills you back up. I'm calling it Release, Enter, Satisfy, and Together. This isn't about checking out. It's about checking in, with God, with yourself, with what your soul is actually asking for. Rest isn't a reward for finishing. It's part of the work. Want to learn how to build differently?

There's one guest Emily brings back every single season: her sister, Carolyn Tisch Blodgett. Carolyn's had one heck of a year: she's Governor of Gotham FC (who won the championship again this year!), and she represents the family's ownership stake in the New York Giants. In this episode of She Pivots, Carolyn dives into what it's actually like to build something as it's happening in real time, the bets that could've gone either way, and all the unglamorous stuff nobody posts about. The sisters get into the night Gotham flew to Kansas City as total underdogs, why the new locker room design has an L-shaped entrance, and what's coming this summer as Gotham takes on the Washington Spirit at Citi Field in front of what could be the biggest crowd in NYC women's sports history.

This week Roger explores the idea of "digging where your feet are" and how focusing on what you can do today can reduce anxiety about the future and regret about the past. In the Retirement Toolkit, he explains the basics of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), including when they begin, which accounts they affect, how they're calculated, and strategies for managing them through retirement.
