Frederik Andersen's 33 saves carried the Carolina Hurricanes to a 3-1 win as they grabbed the opening game of their best-of-7 Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the New York Islanders.  Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the opening goal within the first two minutes to give Carolina the 1-0 lead.  His power play goal snapped a 14-game goal drought.  He would add an assist on Stefan Noesen's 3rd period goal that put the Canes in front to stay.  Noesen, too, ended a long goal drought having not scored in the last 20 games of the regular season.  As it turns out, the last time Noesen scored was against Montreal on the night that Andersen made his return to the lineup on March 7.  Coincidentally, that goal was also the eventual game-winner.  Martin Necas added an empty net goal to close out the scoring.  Game 2 is Monday night at PNC Arena

In this video, I'm going to share one of the biggest regrets I had in practice. I used to recommend 1200 mg of calcium, especially to post-menopausal women for bone health and people with osteoporosis or osteopenia. People with osteoporosis lack calcium in their bones, but every osteoporotic person has excess calcium outside of the bone. Fifteen independent clinical trials found that people taking an extra 500 mg of calcium per day had a 30% increased risk for heart attacks and 20% for strokes. One study that followed 61,000 people over 19 years showed that people taking over 1400 mg of calcium per day had a 114% increased risk of heart attack. The average multivitamin is packed full of calcium carbonate. Coincidentally, ⅓ of all adults in America have calcification in their arteries. Consuming excess calcium doesn't mean it will go straight to your bones! Calcium has a vital role in cellular communication. There is 1000 to 10,000 times more calcium outside the cell than inside the cell. Too much intracellular calcium leads to cell death. In fact, calcium accumulation is an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality. Instead of taking large amounts of calcium for bone loss, vitamin C could help. At least 6000 mg of vitamin C daily, broken up into 2 to 4 doses, may help improve bone health. Adequate vitamin C may help suppress osteoclasts—the cells that break down your bone. It can also help the absorption of calcium into the bone.

"Grenada is  very traditional" says my guest, Moksha, who was born and raised on the island and now lives in the US. "A large portion of  Grenadians still believe that 'little girls should be seen and not heard' and girls should concentrate on domestics and house keeping," continues my guest. Coincidentally, that 'saying' about little girls is an English proverb.   Grenada was colonized by the English from 1763 to 1974 and then by the French from 1979 to 1983 so they still have a residual effect of these different ruling cultures.  "House, car, land," those were the presupposed priorities for a young married woman.I love that Moksha say "mothers are the culture keepers," and it's so very true. What would we do without our mom's telling us stories about the generations before us. There was definitely some conflict between Moksha and her mom because my guest often questioned things from a very young age. In particular, she had questions about spirituality and religion which she explained was way too complicated to cover in one episode of SHLTMM.An overprotective mother believes she's doing what's best for her daughter, but not so in Moksha's case. It created more conflict around the house and that wasn't beneficial to anyone.  What seemed to be the hardest part was her lack of freedom.  She was never a daughter to sneak out at night, instead she just told her parents that she was going out.  She just knew who she was and what she needed out of life from a young age. And when it came to Moksha dating or meeting new male friends, that was definitely NOT going to happen based on her parents beliefs.Cecelia's mom  always believed in the benefits of higher education, so she continues to study to learn and improve  her  opportunities with her own business, "Celebration Cakes." With a high school education she began different jobs but keep in mind "girls were supposed to stay home with domestic work,"Moksha says. It was the boys, who continued with school and were able to take jobs.Moksha is dialed into nutrition/diet and wellbeing and it all began with her mother's knowledge and love for native foods in Grenada. Food is an important part of the culture and family in Grenada and traditions are handed down generation to generation.  Moksha's business "Sovereign Eats,"  is  all about food and it's healing properties. It's unfortunate, but Moksha feels that so much of the cultural ideas of her home land have been left behind.  She's hoping to keep those traditions alive by sharing her knowledge through Sovereign Eats.When asked if Moksha thought her mom had regrets about her limitations as a young girl, she said "yes, absolutely, most likely based on her mom's past and boundaries put on her when she was a young girl."Check out Moksha's Sovereign Eats website at 'sovereigneats.com.'  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, 'are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother'? You'll be amazed at what the responses are."Should Have Listened To My Mother" would not be possible without the generosity, sincerity and insight from my guests. In getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal relationships with their mother.Some of my guests include Baritone Singer Christopheren Nomura, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Tim Wacker, Activist Kim Miller, Freighter Sea Captain Terry Viscount, Film Production Manager Peg Robinson, Professor of Writing Montclair State University Dr. Bridget Brown, Tammy Steckler, attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter Mark Heingartner, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Maryellen Valyo Cole and Roger Evens, Property Manager in New Jersey and so many more talented and insightful women and men.I've worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. I've interviewed so many fascinating people including musicians, celebrities, authors, activists, entrepreneurs, politicians and more.A big thank you goes to Ricky Soto, NYC based Graphic Designer, who created my logo for "Should Have Listened To My Mother".Check out my website for more background information: https://www.jackietantillo.com/Or more demos of what's to come at https://soundcloud.com/jackie-tantilloFind audio versions of the podcast here: https://shltmm.simplecast.com/Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/show/60j14qCcks4AP3JUrWrc2MLink to website and show notes: https://shltmm.simplecast.com/ Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/show/60j14qCcks4AP3JUrWrc2M Apple Podcasts Facebook:Should have listened to my motherJackie TantilloInstagram:Should have listened to my motherJackietantillo7LinkedIn:Jackie TantilloYOUTUBE:Should have listened to my mother

President Donald Trump, presently on the campaign trail, insisted this week that National Public Radio's (NPR) funding should be revised following a claim of alleged liberal bias made by an NPR editor. Trump made his views known via a post on Truth Social. Coincidentally, The Free Press released an op-ed where NPR's Senior Business Editor Uri Berliner conveyed his belief that NPR had compromised the trust of Americans through its perceived liberal sway. Interestingly, Berliner didn't see a funding cut as the perfect panacea to the outlined 'missteps.' Furthermore, it is worth recalling that Trump has had a history of declaring intentions to scale back funding for public media during his tenure as president, an ambition that didn't materialize as Congress decided against his proposals. However, if Trump secures a second presidential term this year, the whole landscape could be redrafted. As evidenced during Trump's opposition against a FISA bill, which the House eventually obstructed, a POLITICO report suggested that Trump is gradually imposing his influence on the GOP's policy agenda in Congress. Last year, when NPR decided to part ways with Twitter (now X), following labeling ties to the U.S. government, it stated that less than 1% of its annual $300 million budget is generated by the federal funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Despite this, NPR maintains on its website that the federal funding is 'essential.' Cutting off such a source of income would potentially lead to a diluted variety of programs, a reduction in quality journalism, and possibly the closure of public radio stations, particularly in rural and economically challenged communities. In the op-ed, Berliner reflects on the rise of advocacy in the wake of Trump's election as president in 2016, an event which saw him defeat Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Reinforcing his claim about bias at NPR, Berliner mentioned the multiple instances when Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a recurring guest, claimed evidence of Trump's collusion with Russia during his live interviews. However, when the Robert Mueller report, released in 2019, found no substantial proof of such collusion, the news network provided only minimal coverage, and it subsequently ceased to follow the Russiagate narrative on its programming. Berliner stated that, while it is not uncommon for a news outlet to misread the potential impact of a story, it's a serious misstep when false leads are pursued or when information from unreliable sources is capitalized upon. As part of his critique, Berliner recalled an incident related to the Hunter Biden laptop story that arose before the 2020 election. According to Berliner, this story was indeed newsworthy, yet the usual journalistic fervor to pursue a heated scoop appeared to be suppressed. He recounted a conversation with NPR colleagues, during which one journalist highlighted satisfaction with the news station's decision not to follow the story due to concerns about aiding Trump's campaign. Diving further into the potential bias, Berliner claimed to have discovered a surprising disparity in the political affiliations of NPR's editorial team based in Washington D.C., the network's headquarters. In a staff meeting, he revealed data showing that 87 Democrats and zero Republicans were in editorial positions, suggesting a diversity deficit within the team. Yet, when he raised this concern hoping to address the issue, he was met with what he described as profound indifference. There was no argument or hostility. Rather, the response was characterized by total apathy, which Berliner viewed as even more disconcerting. In response to the allegations, NPR's Editor-in-Chief, Edith Chapin, made a public statement, offering a differing perspective. She, along with various NPR leadership team members, expressed a total disagreement with Berliner's evaluation of their editorial integrity and the quality of their journalism. Chapin didn't shy away from defending and appreciating the work done by NPR desks and shows in narrating an array of challenging stories. Holding the stand that the organization maintains high standards, she expressed complete confidence in the professionalism displayed by the NPR team despite accusations of bias. To sum up, the dynamic between state-funded public media and political entities continues to be a topic of intense discussion. The effectiveness and unbiased operation of these media outlets are vital to ensuring informed and balanced discourse among the public equation, but only time will tell how these events impact future policy and media sentiment. Nonetheless, the episode presents another case study on the delicate balance between media integrity, political influence, and journalistic independence.

According to Clayton Neville, the co-host of our sister station's morning show, DFW Morning News, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is serious in his desire to bring a second NFL team to the area. Coincidentally, the Chiefs brass are unhappy about Kansas City voting against using tax dollars to fund renovations to Arrowhead Stadium. Will the Hunt family bring the Chiefs back home to Dallas?

Last year saw the release of Oppenheimer, a dramatic depiction of J. Robert Oppenheimer‘s development of the atomic bomb and the witch hunt that almost ruined him. One of the key criticisms of the film is that it didn’t depict any of the direct and disastrous repercussions of Oppenheimer’s invention. Coincidentally, last year was also […]

Coincidentally, long-time friends Aoife O'Donovan and Dawn Landes both have new albums with strong feminist themes, so I (Cindy) wanted to interview them together and talk about WOMEN. Aoife's album, All My Friends, is specifically centered around Carrie Chapman Catt, a prominent leader in the Suffragist Movement, and her work in the fight for the 19th Amendment. Inspired by speeches and letters, one song, War Measure, is even based on a letter of support from Woodrow Wilson to Chapman Catt. This album also marks the biggest project Aoife worked on with her husband Eric Jacobsen, who conducts the Orlando Philharmonic and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. It's also the first record she's released since becoming a mother. Of her Daughters song she says she sings "as a modern woman, not wanting to leave the fight to the daughters of our daughters."Dawn Landes, also a mother, has a more broad focus with her new album The Liberated Woman's Songbook. The album features songs from the 1971 songbook of the same title to inspire second wave feminists' women's liberation movement and modern feminism of the 1970's. The songs on Dawn's album span from 1830 (Hard is the Fortune of All Womankind) to 1970 (There Was a Young Woman Who Swallowed a Lie as well as Liberation, Now!) showcasing how women of the past expressed political activism in the struggle for gender equality.Both Aoife and Dawn released their albums during Women's History Month, which leads to a discussion of what that means to each of them. We also talk about what is on their protest signs at the march, the Taylor Swift movie, gender stereotypes and, of course, all the waves of feminism. When thinking about the 19th amendment, we acknowledge that this only allowed WHITE women to vote. That leads to talk of how suffragists and feminist protest songwriters, like Meredith Tax, contributed to and gleaned inspiration from the civil rights movement. Aoife and Dawn are legends! We start with what their internal dialogue was like at first when undertaking these ambitious and important projects and end with Aoife putting Barbie on blast. All and all, this one's a winner. Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/ Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

This week Andrew brings a very interesting word to the show!  Ben is up for the challenge, but first he has a review of Trombone Champ!  Then the hosts dive right into the discussion starting with literature… Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, Macbeth by William Shakespeare, and Star Wars by George Lucas.  Coincidentally, Ben gets to talk about his biggest “Jedi: Fallen Order,” pet peeves, but then they chat briefly about constitutional law. In the “official” video games segment, Ben shares the strange development story of “The Day Before” and the numerous equivocations therein.  In closing, Andrew talks about a cola marketing scam, and Ben unintentionally alienates the 2VP audience and possibly Andrew.  00:00:21 - Video GAMES, a cliffhanger, dream feeding, and the lamest form of time traveling 00:04:55 - Ben's Trombone Champ review start, complicated math, and Dan's trombone idea 00:09:38 - The narrative of Trombone Champ, “Funiculì, Funiculà,” and amazing audiovisuals 00:13:02 - Time to toot, gilding and “turd-ing,” secrets, inner 9 year olds, and a review closing 00:19:19 - Not equivocating, the definition, in Swedish, and affordable furniture solutions 00:21:38 - Spirit of exploration, Oedipus' road rage, and Andrew's Magic 8 Ball equivocation 00:24:49 - Prophecy details, the swollen foot baby, full of irony, and a bit of a cougar 00:29:09 - The Porter, “nose-painting, sleep, and urine,” 3 witches, and Macbeth vs Macduff 00:33:06 - Obi-Wan equivocates about Vader, retroactive continuity, and Luke and Leia kiss 00:36:17 - Ben talks about “Jedi: Fallen Order,” Cal Kestis, and a plethora of ponchos  00:41:48 - Ewan McGregor noises, acting with tennis balls, and a different century's president 00:45:17 - Paying for a wall with hurt feelings, on a spectrum, and Ben's playful equivocation  00:48:41 - The legal profession, for justice or money, and Ben's looking at you Congress! 00:50:30 - Stuart, brief entomology, the Establishment Clause of the 1st, and Pueblo Colorado 00:55:46 - Line crossing, the story of “The Day Before,” and the Steam page is actually gone 01:02:01 - Andrew recounts the “New Coke” marketing scheme and resulting equivocations 01:05:42 - Not the “Classic, Classic Coke,” lawyers and politicians, and equivocating felines Ben's Trombone Champ Review Highlights   Story / Narrative - SN - (8) - You are on a quest to become the Trombone Champ by tooting your trombone, learning about and pledging allegiance to baboons, collecting and trading Trombone Champ cards, meeting strange characters, and laughing a bunch. Audiovisuals - AV - (10) - From the character models, to the song selection, the UI which looks like something you would see on a “Dance, Dance Revolution” arcade machine, to the amazing song recording quality, to the background animations while you are “tooting”, to the satirical poke a EA Sports Games micro-transaction card collection graphics… Trombone Champ is perfectly executed in this area. Game Mechanics - GM - (9) - Nothing new here, BUT the game mechanics are finely tuned and nostalgically fun.  Choose your trombone style, sound scheme, and “tomboner,” your song, and then it's time to TOOT! You play notes by pressing a key on the keyboard, and you use the pad to control the target reticle vertically on a line on the left side of the screen. You follow the note prompts as they scroll in from the right with key presses and mousepad movements and are rated on accuracy with “Perfectos,” “OKs,” “Nices,” “Mehs,” and “Nasties.” As you string your successes together your “CHAMP” meter fills and your multiplier builds. Once you have the meter filled completely, a celebratory airhorn sounds off; the longer you keep the “CHAMP” active, the more points you score for notes and combos. Based on your score at the end of each song, you earn “toot coins” which you can use to buy sacks of 4 cards to gather for your collection. If you have an excess of cards you can exchange them for turds, which you can use to buy the cards you are missing. Collect 10 of single card and you can “engoldenate” it so all future versions of that card you receive from a sack will be the gold version (worth more toot coins and turds). There are hidden secrets to unlock: avatars, trombones, and sound schemes (including a fart one), AND the “true ending…” becoming the fabled Trombone Champ of legend! Ben's FINAL VERDICT (aka the MATH) for Holy Wow Studios' “Trombone Champ!” (10 * .20) + (9 * .35) + (8 * .45) = 8.75 out of 10… things! UP  A near perfect parody AND celebration of rhythm games  Incredibly customizable settings let you play the way you want An amazingly diverse selection of incredibly well done songs DOWN There are a couple annoying mechanics, specifically the 100 clicks later in the game when searching for the “hidden boss.” DO BUY AND PLAY…  If you or your family enjoys rhythm or music games, or if you just want to laugh     Follow Andrew / Partly Robot Industries on… His website: https://partlyrobot.com/ On Instagram: https://instagram.com/partlyrobot On TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@partlyrobot On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/partlyrobot Follow Two Vague on… Our website: https://www.twovaguepodcast.com On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/two_vague_podcast On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twovaguepodcast On X-Twitter: https://twitter.com/TwoVaguePodcast For show appearance and other inquiries, contact us at: twovaguepodcast@gmail.com References and Hashtags: Trombone Champ links -  https://www.vecchitto.design/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1059990/Trombone_Champ/ https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/trombone-champ-switch/ #Podbean #DIYPodcast #ApplePodcast #VideoGames #Trivia #Comedy #Talkshow #Kickstarter #Partlyrobot #2VP #TwoVaguePodcast #HolyWowStudios #TromboneChamp #TheDeadMilkmen #Stuart

In this episode Shawna and LaLa navigate School Violence and Apocalyptic Anxiety. The girls dive into the alarming rise of violence in schools. From a shocking incident where a 13-year-old boy brutally assaulted his classmate to another student's online threat to bring a gun to school, Shawna and LaLa fearlessly dissect the troubling trends plaguing local educational schools. But amidst the chaos, there's a celestial event on the horizon: the solar eclipse scheduled for April 8th. While most are eagerly anticipating this rare phenomenon, LaLa's anxieties are once again stirred as she contemplates the possibility of an impending apocalypse or societal shutdown. Coincidentally, schools are also planning early dismissals on the day of the eclipse. Is this mere happenstance, or could it be a sign of something more sinister? Tune in as Shawna and LaLa navigate through the complexities of modern-day life, from societal issues to celestial wonders, with their signature blend of wit, insight, and a dash of skepticism. #shawnaandlala #solareclips #solareclipse2024 #april8th #schoolviolence #endoftheworld #apocalypse #apocalypse2024

The rigorous voter identification law instituted in Ohio has been upheld as constitutional by a federal judge. A Democrat-affiliated legal firm brought a lawsuit against the law, objecting to its various aspects including the requirement for photo ID, constraints on 'ballot drop boxes', and firm timelines connected with absentee and provisional ballots. U.S. District Judge Donald Nugent, appointed by President Clinton, deemed Ohio's photo ID stipulation to carry little-to-no significant burden for a large majority of voters in the ruling. Moreover, Judge Nugent dismissed all other claims raised by the Elias Law Group, who last year sued on behalf of a consortium of constituents, such as retired military veterans, educators, retired persons, and the homeless. The lawsuit asserted that the aforementioned law was prejudiced and unnecessarily obstructive towards the right to vote. Coincidentally, the lawsuit was filed at the same time as when Governor Mike DeWine, a Republican, endorsed the legislation, which was greatly challenged by multiple voting rights, labor, environmental, and civil rights organizations urging a veto. The judge clearly voiced that there are no constitutional guarantees for voters to have access to mail-in or early voting facilities. He added that in comparison to 30 other states, Ohio's new schedule for obtaining and submitting absentee ballots still offers more flexibility. His counterpoint to the argument that restricting ballot drop boxes to a single location was detrimental to voters was that the law of 2023 initially introduced these boxes in the state.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guest today, Kim Rahir, suggests we look at health on a continuum. If on one side, you can picture yourself laying on a couch eating chips and binging Netflix and on the other side, getting up at 5am, working out for 2 hours and then drinking a broccoli + Kale smoothie, now...find yourself on this continuum and then picture yourself taking just one step toward that positive (more healthy) end of the spectrum, But, be specific about what you'll do. Coincidentally, Trinity just got some bloodwork back...all you ladies out there run your bloodwork. That will light a fire under your booty to take more than just ONE healthy step towards that broccoli kale smoothie, baby. We are both putting a foot forward towards a healthier life and are about to cut out the processed foods, nix the sugar and LIFT WEIGHTS!! We are all IN! Thank goodness for our girl, Kim Rahir, who uses her own personal experiences to put into perspective the importance of fitness! Kim had a fire inside of her too when she was diagnosed with not ONE, but TWO debilitating diseases that are crippling. However, Kim took this as a sign and an opportunity to GET STRONG and went from a wheelchair to winning a European Masters title in Weightlifting this year. Kim's story is enough to inspire ALL of our ladies in the middle to start building muscle...because doing just THIS was Kim's "health elixir" and her road to salvation. Girls, becoming strong is NOT just a pursuit that is exclusive to men AND Kim proves that it is never too late to get started and she didn't let physical or environmental limitations stand in her way of building a better life. Now Kim, who is a former journalist turned health coach and MS survivor, is on a mission to help middle-aged women embrace muscle and strength as the one-stop-solution for most health problems from age 30 onwards. Her approach is to turn scientific knowledge about human health in to actionable tool kits for everyday life! In this episode, Kim teaches us: Building muscle can help resolve a lot of health and medical problems. If you've never lifted weights and or if you haven't lifted for a long time, be gentle with your body as you get started and start where you are at. If necessary find a trainer who has worked with women in midlife Building muscle not only supports your metabolic rate, but improves your bone health, joints, and increases your functional independence. Muscles support blood sugar management. Muscles require more energy to maintain so they enable you to eat more and burn more fat. Muscles are also a place for your body to store excess sugar. If you don't have enough muscles and you don't use them, your body converts this excess glycogen (or sugar) straight into fat. Stop TRYING to eat healthy and DO. It takes just one step in the right direction. If WE can do it, so can you! Find more of Kim: Website | kimrahir.com Facebook | Kim.Rahir Instagram | @Kim.rahir And girl!

Nick looks back at the only time that Ron Howard hosted "Saturday Night Live," it was on October 9, 1982, and it featured some purposely edgy material, including Ron's monologue in which he downs a beer on stage, and a controversial sketch called "Opie's Back!" In the sketch, Howard returns to his classic role of Opie Taylor, only this time Opie is a tough cop who comes back to find that his dad is dead, and that Maberry has turned into a dark, corrupt cesspool of sex, drugs and violence. You will hear the sketch, learn about the background and who wrote it, and how it was received. You will also hear about Howard's career up until that night, and what followed, plus stories about Season 8 (in which the sketch appeared), Eddie Murphy, and some behind-the-scenes tales. Coincidentally, Mayberry would turn violent and dark 16 years later on the SNL rival comedy show "Mad TV," the results were not nearly as funny....and you will hear that as well. Opie is a badass, and here's the proof. [Ep60]

EP394: Today's guest is Delia Lloyd, a multifaceted professional with a rich and diverse background spanning higher education, media, policy, and the nonprofit sector. My desire to have a conversation with Delia sprouted from an article she wrote about a conversation she had with a group of college friends at her 30th reunion that started with an impromptu question posed by a classmate about long term goals. What she found unusual wasn't the goal itself that each person shared - you'd expect different goals from a group of people who had pursued different paths in life - but the epiphany she had later, upon further reflection, about the way in which each person responded to the question.  As I was reading her words, I realized I had a kindred spirit in Delia. Her goal setting style, common with go-getters and Type A personalities, wasn't setting her up for success. And her reunion provided her with a shake-up. It created an opportunity for deep reflection that led to massive changes. Coincidentally, my 30th high school reunion did the same for me. I love it when a conversation steers someone to a new way of thinking and potentially an internal shift that comes, not instantaneously but after thoughtful contemplation. And that is what happened to Delia as a result of this conversation with old classmates. Then she took this new perspective to her computer screen and shared it openly with the world giving others, like me, helpful insights into the challenges some of us may have with goal setting. In this episode, we talk about: Her goal-setting style and realization that HOW we set goals is as important as WHAT goals are set. The concept of “Maker” vs “Manager” and how the roles we play in life impact the way we do everything, including how we set goals. Her diverse career journey, with insights into the pivotal moments that led her to shift into something new while continuing to hone her writing skills which has been a lifelong passion. How following a passion and staying committed to it will lead you to a career that truly sparks you. Listen in to gain valuable insights into Delia's experiences, discovering actionable tips to ignite your own passions and a life that aligns with your authentic self. Join me and Delia as we explore the intricacies of goal-setting, staying true to your passions, and the delicate dance between the roles of a Maker and Manager in the pursuit of a sparked second half.

Welcome to episode 148 of Activist #MMT. Today I talk with post-Keynesian economist Steve Keen about his decades-long fight against mainstream economics, what MMT convinced him of, and the couple parts of MMT he still disagrees with. This first part is a half-hour long audio interview, which will be followed next month by an hour-and-a-half-long video interview, where Steve walks me through the basics of his Minsky modeling software, and why he believes it's an important tool for MMTers. (Here's a link to PART TWO. A list of the audio chapters in this episode can be found right below.) MMT and Steve are in complete agreement with how banks spend (lend money into existence). After reading in 2020, Steve realized that government spending also creates money. National governments don't tax in order to spend, they spend in order to tax. Steve quickly created a Minsky model convincing himself that MMT is indeed correct regarding this. This insight is also completely compatible with his understanding of bank spending. As far as Steve's disagreements with MMT, they are important, and Steve lays them out in detail in the last ten-or-so minutes of this episode. But let it be known that they are far from core issues. In other words, the amount of agreement is far greater. It's good to understand what these disagreements are, but as Steve says, we have much bigger fish to fry. This is the first main episode of Activist #MMT since August. Although I've released three chapters from John Harvey's readings of his book Contending Perspectives (with lots more to come!), the past six months have been all consuming, starting with my third Torrens course – which was coincidentally taught by John on that very book. It was both incredibly enlightening and unbelievably exhausting. I've also become a full-time musician. I now sing several times each week at retirement communities and related facilities (independent living, assisted-living, nursing homes, etc.). Coincidentally, back in July, I met Steve in person for dinner in Princeton, New Jersey, which is about an hour north of my home. After dinner and conversation, Steve gave me an initial walk-through of Minsky. We ended the night with me singing a few songs on the sidewalk – just me, my phone, and a little Bluetooth speaker. At the very end of today's episode, after the closing theme music, you'll hear a small highlight from that experience. You can check out my singing website at . And now, onto my conversation with Steve Keen. Enjoy. Audio chapters 4:24 - Hellos, and the plan 5:53 - His journey fighting mainstream, and, in 2020, to MMT 8:19 - Marx's view of money, Steve's PhD, Minsky's financial instability hypothesis, double entry bookkeeping, thinking of government spending differently 9:43 - Modeling money properly with double entry bookkeeping 10:49 - Discovering MMT in 2020, which changed his view on government spending 12:56 - Mild criticism of MMT's consolidated view 14:29 - Money creation is the expansion of balance sheets.

The gang took it to the DANGER ZONE! We reference the time Thor and Laurence discussed movies in which the theme songs are better than the movies they were written for. Coincidentally they both picked Val Kilmer movies, and the conversation can be found at Tequila Sunrise, episodes 25-27. The last topic in VALentines coverage will be The Super (2017).

In this video, we're going to talk about preventing muscle loss due to aging. At around age 50, women go through menopause which causes hormonal changes. Men experience hormonal changes around age 60. As you age and your hormones change, you can become deficient in skeletal muscle. This is known as sarcopenia. Around 40% of your metabolism is related to your muscles, so this can have detrimental effects. In women, estrogen decreases with age, but progesterone drops even lower. Without progesterone, you end up with a lot of problems from estrogen. Cholesterol is a building block for steroid hormones, like testosterone and estrogen, which directly affect your muscles. This is why low-cholesterol and low-fat diets can cause muscle loss. Coincidentally, this is why you see muscle damage and diseases associated with statin drugs. Here are 6 ways to protect and support your hormones to help prevent muscle loss as you age: 1. Infrared light can increase melatonin. Sunlight, fire, and candles all provide infrared light. 2. Regular, consistent, resistance exercise is the most potent stimulator of muscle building. 3. Ensure adequate intake of high-quality animal protein. Aim for .8 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. 4. Consume plenty of cholesterol from meat and dairy. 5. Try pregnenolone supplements. Start out with 30 mg per day for women and 100 mg for men. Pregnenolone is a precursor for important hormones related to muscle building. 6. DHEA is a precursor for hormones that help build muscle. Try 25 mg for women and 100 mg for men. DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6122168/ https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/...

Rick Diamond spent most of his career working as an accountant but, like so many others, decided he wanted to be his own boss after Covid hit and started thinking about franchising. Coincidentally, Emily was visiting family in Utah, which gave her the opportunity to visit Crumbl's very first store – a log cabin-like location that opened in Logan, Utah, in 2017.She loved everything about the concept – the smell, the look, the product. Stores are closed on Sundays, which aligned with their values. They checked out an open location closer to home, in Louisville, Kentucky, and realized it was exactly what they wanted to pursue.They set up a call with corporate and were approved for a store and, just this week, opened their third Crumbl location in their home market. Their experience with the concept has been “really positive, which is why we went for a third.” Notably, their experience also coincides with the company's meteoric growth trajectory. Crumbl more than doubled its unit count from 2021 to 2022 and now counts nearly 1,000 shops, while its sales jumped more than 2.5 times to $985 million during that same timeframe.

Deep into the 2024 campaign, any one of Trump's trials could actually be he a break glass in case of emergency kind of moment and could change the course of this election. Donald Trump's strategy on the case of immunity is claiming that a months-long trial will make it harder for him to campaign. The fight over Trump's immunity, or frankly, lack thereof, has already prompted District Judge Tanya Chutkan to postpone a trial date that was previously set for March 4th.

Oh Craig Kelly you hornbag. Emerald and Tom catch up on three big stories from the week. First up, the LNP has agreed to pass the updated Labor stage 3 tax changes, while meanwhile Wayne Swann is a tory c**t. Next, the senate has rejected a Greens push for a climate trigger mechanism into environmental laws. Coincidentally up in Queensland, Steven “Giggles” Miles approved a new megamine. Then in a strange moment of positivity, Greens have secured Right To Disconnect provisions in the new IR bill.

Jon flies solo in the week's third outing, as Fintan responds to Chairman emergencies around the globe in his role as some kind of chair-superhero. I guess his name would be simply, Chair Man. That works. Anyway, first guest on Thursday was the lovely Chief Vision Officer from Xprizo, Richard Mifsud, with their genius product which not only helps businesses wanting to enter potentially difficult markets with transaction handling, it also helps people without access to traditional banking. It's proper genius [0:00 - 17:25]. Second up, the excellent and virile Kyle Wiltshire, CEO of Testa. It's a brilliant business idea and honestly, I have no idea why it's not been done before. Also, Terry Fox gets mentioned again because any excuse for Jon and he's right there [17:26 - 39:39]. And finally, drum roll please… Optimove CEO Pini Yakuel chats to Jon about how the business started, why Israel is so good at tech innovation, and more. We will be having Pini on again for sure, as this just scratches the surface [39:41 – 1:05:38].

Mariana Franco talks with Jason Barnard about coping with marketing. Mariana Franco is an SEO expert and strategist with 12 years of experience in the digital world. For the past five years, she has focused exclusively on SEO. Mariana's journey began as a content writer, but her in-depth knowledge allowed her to quickly rise to Head of SEO. In this role, she oversaw a multilingual website with thousands of pages in 12 languages and managed content writers from five different countries. Her career progression continued upwards when she took on the position of Marketing Coordinator, but she eventually experienced burnout. Mariana emphasizes the importance of regularly reviewing your career path to make sure it aligns with your personal goals and passions. When she thought about it, she realized that while she loved her job, she did not love her work environment. Coincidentally, she already had several clients waiting for her services, so she was able to quit her job and start her own business. Successful marketing requires the marketing department as a whole to work with marketing teams and other departments to develop strategies and maximize impact. This cohesion is essential to deliver a consistent brand message across different channels, be it SEO, PPC or social media, and to create an environment where creativity thrives better than the competition. Building such a network of teams enables a unified approach to branding and marketing. In this episode, the delightfully insightful Mariana Franco discusses various aspects of coping with marketing. Mariana emphasizes the value of teamwork and collaboration within marketing departments and between different teams. She gives delightful suggestions on the structure of meetings in marketing departments and the need for a more productive and creative approach. The conversation also covers how teams align their efforts with the larger goals of the organization, as well as the challenges of setting KPIs for different marketing teams and strategies. As always, the show ends with passing the baton… Mariana passes the virtual baton to next week's incredibly fantastic guest, Katrina McKinnon.

For a full transcript of this episode, click here. This show today is for physicians or other clinicians or providers who are still taking insurance—those who are going about their day being pretty normal ... but at the same time, they're noticing one and/or two things potentially going on. Here's thing one: They may be seeing patients struggling to afford care, especially patients with commercial insurance and huge deductibles. And/Or thing two: They may have patients actually coming in and asking to pay cash. It's definitely becoming known in some circles that about half the time the cash price for something is actually cheaper than the “negotiated” rate with an insurance carrier. And this has really become an actionable insight for patients who haven't yet met their deductible, and some high percentage of patients—maybe upwards of 90% of patients—won't meet their deductible in any given plan year. So, all of this is probably some pretty obvious foreshadowing, but let's run through two maybe quick reasons why a practice might want to contemplate ways to make it easier for patients to pay cash when it is, in fact, cheaper for that patient to pay cash than it is for them to go through their insurance. Now, a clarifying point here: We are not talking here about that patient always paying cash heretofore … like, never using their insurance ever again, even if they get hit by a bus. No. We're talking about the patient coming in for some office visit or service, and today, they want to pay with a wad of money they take out of their wallet and hand you. That is the end of the transaction that we're talking about here. So, here's the first of let's just say two reasons that a practice might want to entertain taking cash from insured (technically, at least) patients. First reason: We have a situation in this country where 48% of insured commercial patients say that they are delaying or forgoing care due to cost or fear of cost. Sometimes I say this 48% number to a clinician, and they will reply, “Well, that's not in my practice or in my hospital; our patients show up.” To which I reply, “Yeah, because the patients abandoning care are not the patients that are coming in. They are abandoning care.” Now, the second reason a “normie” practice might want to be thinking about how to help patients get the best possible price here is maybe less intuitive, but it's a financial motivation for the practice. I just saw Eric Vanderhoef. He wrote on a Listserv recently, and this is what he wrote: Patient no-shows and cancellations cost healthcare providers as much as $7500 per month. That's a loss of $375 per patient. Hmmm … okay. Keep this in mind: The whole cancellations costing providers upwards of $7500 a month would help reduce this. Coincidentally, I was talking to Paula Muto, MD (she's the founder of UBERDOC) about this exact same topic the other day—just the crazy no-show rates that many practices experience—and she made some really good points, which are exactly in line with the Tebra report Eric Vanderhoef referenced above. She said that if a patient knows exactly how much a physician visit is going to cost—because they're paying cash and the price is set between the doctor and the patient, so the price is the price, the end—no-shows will go down, and this is especially true when the appointment is tomorrow and not six months from now when appointments are booking these days. It's kind of not normal for anybody to know what's gonna be happening in lives six months from now, so no wonder patients fail to show. Dr. Muto is recommending maybe having a couple of slots open every day for patients who want to pay cash. Doing this could help improve some—not all, for sure, but some—practice cash flow issues which are caused by the no-show thing or the getting paid by the insurance carrier net whatever months later after a billing fight kind of thing. And it's also a win-win for patients with high-deductible plans, especially those patients who are coming in asking to pay cash. In the conversation today, Marshall Allen, my guest, explains how to, in a simple enough way, operationalize the ability of a practice to take cash. There's a form that you'll need for insured patients. You'll actually need a cash price. It's also a marketing opportunity. For example, you can get listed with entities that connect consumers to practices that take cash, like UBERDOC, but there's also a growing movement of employers, especially in some parts of the country, who are looking around for providers who will do direct contracting or cash prices. In fact, I just saw a study the other day: “New polling conducted by Marist … found that 94 percent of adults agreed that hospitals, insurance companies and doctors should ‘be legally required to disclose all of their prices, including discounted prices, cash prices, and insurance negotiated rates across hospitals and across plans in an easily accessible place online.'” Alright, if I know you, you are thinking right now about all of the reasons why this won't work. So, let me head you off at the pass. My guest today, Marshall Allen, solves for the most common issues that everybody brings up, including the big kahuna issue, the “I am contractually forbidden by a health plan to allow patients to pay cash.” You will need to listen to this podcast for the answer. Now, there are, of course, other hairballs to untangle that we do not address today. As Marshall Allen says, there are layers of dysfunction here. One bit of weirdness is something that David Schreiner, PhD, told me about the other day. David is CEO of Katherine Shaw Bethea Hospital in Dixon, Illinois; and he's also the author of a new book entitled Be the Best Part of Their Day: Supercharging Communications With Values-driven Leadership. David said that sometimes hospital payer contracts have the payer reimbursing the hospital for a percentage of overall charges. Yes, you heard that right. The hospital totes up, using their charge master rates, the total amount of billings for the entire year; and the carriers pay a percentage of that total. So, the hospital has a big incentive to keep charge master rates as high as possible. If some patients pay lower cash amounts, then their carrier reimbursement (the hospital's carrier reimbursement) will drop. Probably some math there, I guess, because if it's determined that patients aren't actually showing up for services due to cost, then they might be getting paid a percentage of zero by the carriers; but point taken still. There are, for sure, considerations to be thought through; and, for sure, having contracts like this is one of them. I was talking to Lauren McAteer the other day, and she told me when she worked for a hospital and went to meetings, sometimes she'd bring in a hospital gown and hang it over a chair in the conference room to make it harder to not consider the patient perspective and think about how decisions impacted patients. Good idea, because where there's a will, there's often a way. My guest today, Marshall Allen, probably needs no introduction. But I ask Marshall for the skinny on how he started Allen Health Academy, and you will hear him introduce himself. So, in the interest of eschewing redundancy, let's do this thing.

Welcome back to the Lord Petty Podcast! It's been a month, but we're back with a vengeance. Why the name change, you ask? Well, dangerous misinformation just didn't quite feel right, and who cares about politics anyway? We've got a lot to catch up on, and I almost thought about quitting this podcast because, let's face it, I hate podcasts. But here I am, and I hope you missed me too. I've been busy exploring other things, like reactions on my YouTube channel, which has really grown since I started breaking down music videos. It's time to step away from the exhausting world of politics and focus on more exciting topics like big booty Latinas and hundred-thousand-dollar checks. In this episode, we dive into the phenomenon worse than blackface – white people discovering swag surfing. Taylor Swift, the leader of the normies, joined the Chiefs' celebration, and we explore the cringe-worthy article covering it. Is swag surfing the revenge for a black Little Mermaid? Let's find out. Please leave a rating, subscribe, like the video, and check it out on YouTube to see my pasty face and this dope sweatshirt. Now, let's get into the juicy topics – from Taylor Swift's swag surfing to the most embarrassing moments of the celebration. And of course, don't miss the hilarious journey through the full lyrics of the swag surfing anthem. But before we get into that, let's talk about a controversial joke I made about air travel danger. Coincidentally, a similar joke surfaced on Instagram, and I'll let you decide if it's a strange coincidence or something more. Stay tuned for the laughter, insights, and unexpected moments on this episode of Lord Petty. Thanks for being here, and let's keep moving forward together.

On New Year's Day, Ken opened his email to find a long letter of gratitude for the podcast. It came from a person he'd never met. An emerging leader and Bible teacher, her world was shaken when many of the women in her organization's Bible study group and church became Trump supporters. Kristyn shares her faith journey from her early years raised by a single mother. After years of fertility treatment, she delivered the first of two children. At that time, she became a devoted Jesus-follower and serious Bible student. She emerged as a discussion leader for six years and then another seven years as a certified teaching leader (the weekly lecturer) in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) in the Detroit area. BSF is a global organization drawing folks around the world into intense, in-depth study of the Bible. (Coincidentally, Ken's mother was also a Teaching Leader for BSF in the 70s and 80s.) Kristyn came to connect the strict rules and fundamentalist doctrine with a religious conservatism that fuels a toxic form of Trumpism, despite the clear contradictions. She felt alone and disconnected until she found resources (including books and podcasts) that helped her understand - there are many of us recovering fundamentalists out there. It's a sweet conversation that affirms faith, life, and genuine friendship.SHOW NOTES | Contact Kristyn Secory | Become a PatronSupport the show

By 1968, Glen Campbell had moved from session musician to a star in his own right. His single "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," written by Jimmy Webb, was a huge hit for him. So when Campbell decided he needed another song, he turned back to Webb and asked him for another song. For whatever reason, he asked Webb to make it a song about a specific location. Webb, at that time, was in the business of writing as many songs as possible about his ex, a woman named Susan Horton. (Coincidentally, Jim Holvay was also spending a lot of time writing songs about a woman named Susan, go figure.) Susan Horton was at the heart of "Phoenix" and "MacArthur Park, which had just been released when Campbell came calling again. So he cranked out yet another song ostensibly about Susan. That song was "Wichita Lineman." Now, Webb wasn't as obvious about Susan as Holvay was, but in all of these songs you can hear some sense of loss and longing, so it's pretty clear that he had it bad for her. And between Webb's nearly-finished work and the production values that Campbell and producer/arranger Al De Lory, before long they had a genuine masterpiece on their hands. And honest to god, why haven't I covered this song back when the show was still in single digits? What else haven't I covered that really needs some attention?

Today on Welcome to Cloudlandia, we explore the effectiveness of small gatherings and the meaningful conversations that can be had through them. We talk about how small workshops help establish a richer exchange where each voice can fully engage. We examine the nuanced difference between self-promotion and truly understanding clients, inspired by Walter Payton's philosophy of emphasizing outcomes over features. Entrepreneurs rethink their approach after test-driving innovative thinking tools highlighting benefits. Later, we unpack exercises that optimize communication and outcomes. The 'who, not how' focus and 'self-milking cow' concept streamline processes.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Dean explores the influence of group size on workshop conversation quality and how smaller groups encourage more unified discussions. A new thinking tool inspired by Walter Payton is discussed, which prompts entrepreneurs to emphasize outcomes and benefits in their market presentation. We touch on the importance of 'field reports' over 'book reports' for showcasing tangible, real-world business success stories. Personal testimonials from entrepreneurs highlight the Strategic Coach program's transformative effects on both their personal lives and businesses. Dean shares insights on achieving "dream come true" outcomes for clients, stressing the importance of being genuinely interested in clients' experiences. A health practitioner's journey is spotlighted, from selling a low-cost ebook to offering a comprehensive service for reversing type 2 diabetes. The concept of the 'self-milking cow' and the 'who, not how' approach is examined for improving efficiency in lead generation and client relationship management. Initial success stories from the real estate division's accelerator program demonstrate the practical results of innovative business models. Dan shares his personal health journey with stem cell therapy and neurofeedback, noting improvements in cognitive function and overall wellness. We discuss the role of blockchain and smart contracts in protecting intellectual property, with a nod to Dean's experiences after returning from Argentina.

Ah, mr Jackson, welcome back to. Dan: Cloudlandia. The world is still going on as it was before. Dean: It was the best times it was. Mr Times, welcome back. You've been expanding your footprint on the planet. Dan: I have. I have yeah, I've got to do something about that. I'm maybe a new pair of shoes or something like that. Yeah, we were at Genius in Scottsdale and then we were in Chicago for a week and we did the smaller free zone workshop, which is different because you know, it was about 20. We had about 20 and it's very interesting. I've never really quite figured out what is the optimal size group where you get the best conversation but it's just different. You get different kinds of conversations. I agree, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dean: I find out with my breakthrough. Blueprint events same thing, Like. what I find is 12 is the maximum size If you want to have one conversation. We're around one boardroom table, everybody could see the whites of everybody's eyes and keeping the conversation all front and center. When you get even to 14 people, you get into a situation where you end up having fractured conversations. You got a conversation over at this end of the table and it's less. Yeah, it's harder to have a breakout conversation in a small group of 10 or 12 than it is in 14 or 16 or 20. Dan: Yeah, very interesting. Yeah, we push for the 40 to 50, and then we have individual breakout groups throughout the day and make sure it depends on what your objective is. I think with your case it's very important that they get a unified sort of understanding of the eight profit maximizers. Dean: Activators. Dan: Yeah, activators, yeah, I think you should make a maximum, since you're going for profit anyway, I think you that's right. Dean: Yeah, that's exactly right. Dan: You're putting in the work. You're putting in the work anyway. Dean: That's the advanced program. Dan: We'll start out with the activators yeah, yeah, first they learn the activators where they're again. We just gave you 50 more years of future, just in a single conversation. Yeah, I tried out two new tools and the thinking tools in the free zone workshop and one of them really had a big impact and it's from a quote from Walter Payton, who is a very famous, running back in the national football league Hall of Fame, chicago Bears and he had and I heard this about seven, eight months ago Reddit and it has just kept bouncing around in my head and usually when that happens over a period of months, I'm supposed to do something with the thought and the thought is when you're good, you tell everybody. When you're great, everybody tells you. Dean: Right, that's very good, and so I like that yeah. Dan: And I came up with a one page layout structure where they can put in certain experiences, and but you know, I had them do. One was when you're good, what do you tell them? And then the other column was when you're great, what do they tell you? And then we had a brainstorm for two minutes each for each column and they wrote down about five things on one and five things down on the other and the statements were starkly different. They were for me. I did the sample copy and they were starkly different. Yeah, and I wonder what you think about that, because I haven't really put names to what's happening there. But, it seems to me that, first of all, we're using our experience on the left hand side, which is the good side, as a contrast to the great side, and we're saying this is what we do and this is how we present it, and this is the steps that you'll go through, and this is this. These are the names of the tools that you're going to be using. Dean: But on the other side. Dan: They're completely different and they the comments they come back or how they've taken the tools and used them and what they've done to their life. Dean: That's my initial thought, that I think that on the left side the good side I think that people would tend to focus on features of what they and on the right side would be reporting of benefit. I think that's a good. That's probably accurate, that they're talking in terms of results and the left side would be talking about the process and result, ideas and outcomes. I think you could have a whole vocabulary of left and right. Dan: Very interesting, because what I did then is pick the three best from both sides, so there's a little lower column and they pick the three best. I says you can rewrite them based on your first draft, your first draft and now you do a second draft. And then I say I'd like you to go to the triple play sheet and see if you can combine left and right in three of the arrows. That starts the triple play. And they did. And then they go through the pink boxes and then they go through the green boxes and then they go into breakout groups and they talk about. They came back and to a person when we got back they said I've got to completely rethink how we're presenting ourselves in the marketplace. Dean: Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? The whole when you start looking at it's a difficult thing for people to think about presenting outcomes or the benefits of promised land, the destination, and especially if you are at the hypothesis stage that you're projecting what the results, the intended results, are, compared to reporting on the documented, actual results. That's whether it's a theory or a real thing. I think that's probably part of when you're good, when you think you've got an idea that some outcome is going to be and you think that this process is what's going to get the outcome, and you have to, you know, hype that up a little bit to get people excited or in intellectually involved in the idea that this outcome is possible, which is very different than a field report. I call it often difference. We use the term of book reports versus field reports and yeah, but he's got, a field report is an actual, documented, here's what happened on the outcome kind of thing as opposed to. I think if we go this way, we'll get the results in theory. My calculations tell me. Dan: Yeah, what was interesting was people zeroed in on your statement and it was mentioned two or three times that the left hand side, where you're telling your good story, it's a convincing argument. The right hand side, it's a compelling offer. Dean: Yes, that's the. That's exactly it. That was my thought. Yeah, that's why I say that is that a compelling offer is 10 times more powerful than a convincing argument, and that's when you're at the level when you're at the level where you can make a compelling offer is because you have certainty around it. Right, that's what's compelling. I think I was thinking about that a lot like the guessing and betting is that when you're what you're trying to, if you're focused on the left side, the good side you're trying to present enough convincing arguments to get people to place a bet on there but they're the one you're trying to get them to place the bet, and that's the whole purchase order versus receiving doc. analogy of that you're going to the purchasing department trying to get them to write and fund a purchase order to get a future delivery of a result or an outcome, whereas if you were able to go to the delivery, you're able to go to the receiving doc with the results that you're met with open arms. It's interesting, right? That's a yeah. Chris Rock, the comedian, once said about crack nobody sells crack, crack sells itself. You got some crack in your mouth. People will be knocking on your door at three in the morning. Dan: You don't have to go out in the cell. Yeah, oh man yeah, the sample does the selling. Dean: That's exactly right. That is exactly right yeah. Yeah, and I think that's really the thing when you look at the. What was the? What was some of the highlights of the great side? Dan: What were some of the highlights that stood out, or even yeah, I was just thinking because I was a genius network last when in not this past Friday and Saturday, but the week before and. I didn't have any presentation during the during the two and a half days. Yeah, that was I was streaming, by the way, yeah and. But I was running in the hallway when we were out on breaks. I was running into strategic coach clients who've been in the program for 20, 25 years, but this is the first time I've met them because, they've had other coach. They've had other coaches and at least three of them came up to me and they almost had tears in their eyes. I said I just want to tell you this has transformed every part of my life. Dean: Wow. Dan: Just being in the coach Wow. And I talked to them where they were before they came in the coach and what the difference was as a result of going to the workshops and and it was pretty, pretty steady throughout the two days when I was just out wandering, when there was, someone else would be with them and they'd say things like this saved my life and everything like that. And I was just noticing but I really didn't tell the other person what strategic coach was, except that it had a transformative effect. And I think the there's another thing. We I talked about convincing argument and compelling offer, but I think the other thing is that on the left, you're aiming for a transaction. On the right, you're hearing about a transformation. Yes, agreed, yeah, yeah, that's. And I told people that if you don't, if you don't have anything that you can think of, that you would write down. On the right hand side, on the great side, I said marketing isn't your problem. Dean: Yeah, that's exactly right. You've got to be able to. You've got to, and once you're able to document the outcome, that's what. That's funny, because that's exercise number one that we do. I have a breakthrough blueprint starting tomorrow at celebration, and one of the way the first thing we start out is with the dream come true on both ends. We define the equation as what would be the dream come true for you. First off, what is it that you're looking to build? What do you really want from your business here? Let's start with that, and what are you really good at? I get to get people to strip away the goggles that they've been looking through of their existing business. This is what typically they get caught in. That left side of this is what we do, but I say I was trying to get them to think we're talking about new. Now. We're talking about business, new business that you haven't already done. So what are you capable of right now? That's why I say that people like what is it? What's the best thing that you could do for somebody? If they would just get out of the way and let you do it for them Without not what you can convince them to pay for or not what you can constrain through the current delivery system that you have in place, just what is what's the best outcome that you could create for somebody would be a dream come true for them and then who? would that person have to be? And that's where we then segue that into profit activated number one, which is select a single target market. Dan: It's really interesting that and that's another distinction. Taking what you just said and going back and looking at the when you're great, when are you great tool, if you died and people showed up at your funeral, which side would they talk about? Yeah, I went through Jesus. I went. He told me about all sorts of profit act. It was really great. I'm not sure it did him any good. We're at his funeral so. I don't know if it did take any good, yeah, but I just think that one thing that it requires for you to fill in the right hand side, the great side is that you, first of all, you have to be interested in what people's outcomes are. You have to be interested in what their actual experience is there and you have to take them seriously. You're getting real market research? Dean: Yes, yeah, that's why I say this is. It's amazing to see what people talk about when they imagine the best thing they could do for somebody. What they're capable of is far more than what they're currently offering to people, and it's so funny because that's the way that their business is set up is to. Their delivery pipes are calibrated for what they think they can convince people to pay for. It's not anything to do with what the outcome is. It's very interesting to me to see this play out again and again, because people light up when they get into describing the outcomes, because that question demands an outcome. It's not about what's your best, what's your process, it's about. That's why I say what's the best thing that you could deliver for somebody? The dream come true experience for them. That would be that you're capable of what's the best result you could deliver, and it's amazing to see that people are often there. We went from had one conversation with a Health practitioner who was doing they had a real protocol for reversing type 2 diabetes and they were selling a $17 Eba about it right, like trying to get people, and I was saying how could you? What would be the best thing that you could do for somebody if you could Charge $17,000 for it, what would be? What it's not knowing the protocol, it's complying with the protocol, is the issue right? And if you could deliver the result, if you could reverse their diabetes in spite of them? That's where the real Thing would you know. And where I got that was I had read at that time, I had finished reading, I think it's Alan Dyke world had a great book called change or die. And Did you ever read that book? Dan: doesn't rain. A bell no. Dean: Oh, it was very interesting. I give you the short kind of summary version of it that the premise of the book is if your life depended on you changing, do you think that you could make a change? And and yeah, the evidence says no. The evidence says no where you can't and the evidence that they used. They took different scenarios, one of which was heart patients, cardiac patients, people who have just had bypassed surgeries, and you would think like that's a life or death situation, that People you've had it and I'm sure the doctor says you listen, you need to Straighten up here and fly right. You need to change your ways or you're gonna die and they go back and some crazy number like 80 plus percent of people who have had bypass surgeries One year later have made no significant changes in their lifestyle. And it's it was very interesting. So Dean Ornish created a protocol where he convinced mutual of Omaha to Divert cohort of people who were eligible for bypass surgery that the insurance would pay for, which at the time was Over a hundred thousand dollars for per patient to have that. So he diverted them into an intervention program where they sequestered them for 30 days and controlled every ounce of food that went in there in their body. They had access to counseling and group work and Meditation and stress management and yoga and physical therapy all of these things. Starting stripping back to just really addressing the why, the issue of why are they doing? The behaviors that led to this, this issue and the average after the 30 days result was an average weight loss of 28 pounds, of reduction in the angina by 96%. People who couldn't climb a flight of stairs were walking Two miles. This whole complete turnaround of Things in 30 days. And then at 30 days, they sent them home with access to a chef and a personal trainer and counseling and group you know, group counseling as well for a year and then they were on their own after the year and At the end of three years, 77% of the people had Maintained the changes that they made in the in the program because they built the change from the inside out and Also from the outside in. At the same time, it was they were removed from the environment that made their bad decisions and took their Took willpower out of the equation, took the other things, that just totally immersion for 30 days where they saw the benefit of the things without having the white knuckle the. Willpower to comply with the protocols. I thought, man, that's very interesting, because that's the same thing that happens in any type of Change. Right, that was just a really good, that was just a really good example of it. Can you see the same thing? Dan: my approach. Yeah yeah, my approach would be different. They won't make a change if they don't have a new future. That's bigger than what the life that they've been leading. So that must happen. That must happen in the test that they In the vision. They envision themselves almost acquiring a new capability by making the change that creates a bigger future. It's really interesting in the political campaign. I'm just looking at it and it's driving the Striving. The journalist is driving the pollsters, is driving one side of the political spectrum. Absolutely crazy that With Trump you have at least four indictments which the Prosecutors are hoping him to put him in jail there by making them in there eligible for the election next year. But actually there's nothing in the Constitution that says that's true, doesn't say you can't be under indictment and get elected president of the United States. But the other thing is that his numbers keep going up with each new indictment and they can't comprehend that and because on their side of the party and indictment would be the end of your career. And they're trying to figure out why an indictment on his side the other thing is, as far as I can tell, the president Biden right now is Trying to get us to believe that things are really good. Things are really good and that Biden economics has Really been a breakthrough for the United States. It's just that when people don't go to the grocery store, they don't feel that way when they go to the gas station. They don't feel that way. And and that their line seems to be. Who you gonna believe? Are you gonna believe us or you gonna believe your own line? I the nearest. Are you gonna believe here? And but what Trump says is mega, make America great again. Let's make a great again yeah, and it just seems to be to me a more compelling offer. Then, yeah, things are better than you've ever had them before. It just seems to be a better offer. Yeah, one seems to be a tempt at a convincing argument and the other one is a compelling offer and part is a lot of American yeah, I think his whole thing that if you stack it up, it is all. Dean: Let's talk it out. Think about that. Is that what's happening on the left side and the right side? No no correlation between left and right politically. Dan: Yeah. Dean: I just. Coincidentally, it turns out that Trump's Big things are all compelling offers. Make America great yeah. Build the wall America first him. Drain the swamp yeah. Those are all outcomes that are Compelling in themselves. Dan: Let's prevent China from cheating us and soft the way we've been yeah let's stop the endless wars, the endless wars and Everything. And he's just picking up and I think he's operating on the right side of the First of all is he's operating on the great side because he's got to work great and there's as compelling offer make make America and just you. Dean: I was gonna say you talk about great. I saw an interview where he was. They were pressure him into picking a side between Ukraine and Russia, like who's in the wrong? This was prior to Israel and I'm not same kind of thing and his answer was I want people to stop dying. That what a great like Car right it's. I want people to stop dying. They're killing themselves, they're killing each other. That's yeah. Dan: Yeah yeah, and it just struck me that they are making up stories on the left-hand side About, about he's a dictator and he's appealing to the worst instincts of the American people and everything like that. But my real sense is he's speaking a completely different language that people on the left don't understand. They, they, they talk, and it's the difference between Talking about efficiency and talking about effective. You know they'll say, well, we're doing things more efficiently than we were before. Yeah, it's just that you're doing things more efficiently that we don't really want. Dean: Right. Dan: Yeah that's. I'm glad you're making yourself feel good about what you're doing, but nothing that you're doing really makes us feel good. And anyway, I just find it find it interesting that one of them has a greater grasp of what people's experience. Dean: Actually, is yes, yeah, that's, yeah. That's a pretty, it's a compelling exercise actually. Get a great have a great, a great outcome. So what, then, is the action from that? What? What's the? Yeah, when you presented that as an exercise, to what end? What's the next? What's the? Dan: the I made it like got my results in the go-around when we were wrapping up the exercise because every person in the room said I've got some redesign To do in terms of our message and what we're actually doing to generate great site commenter. Are we doing the things that would generate that, the same thing as I think one side is doing and the other side is being on the one side, you're describing what you're going to be doing with them and on the other side. You're going to describe how you're going to experience as Result of going through the protocol as we are going to know what would be an example of people having completed the Profit activator, so you're later. What would be some of the things that they would say a year later? Dean: Yeah, so certainly my, I have. I have an engine that delivers leads for a. I've generated a thousand new prospects from a book that I wrote and as a download, and then on the lead conversion Process that they're they've, they're collaborating with people at a higher level in terms of the delivering the outcomes for people, opening up a whole new who now, I'm excuse me, who, not how opportunity up like a perfect example that we're going through right now in our real estate division is I have, excuse me, all of the things that that people can do to get certain outcomes. Everything that we talk about is tied to a, a key metric, a deliverable outcome for people, and so I went through and looked at each of the outcomes that we're delivering, meaning, let's say, for getting referrals and repeat business. Our key metric for that is that we manage their relationship portfolio for a 20% annual yield. So our thing is that they have a hundred and fifty people that know them, like them, trust them, and that they should be able to generate 30 transactions from that outcome now I went through and looked at all the things on the left side that you have to do to get that and I started looking at it from the self milking cow a the who, not how, way of what. If we were responsible for helping them, that kind of the Jordan Peterson model, right adapted for this Situation. What would we do if we were responsible for helping them? And I started realizing there's very little that requires them. I could do Under with our team. We could do do almost everything for them and the things that we can't do could be done in 130 minute phone call a week with a coach. And so we could, from that 30 minute milking session, get all the milk that we need to pasteurize and turn into the products. We could Identify who their top 150 are. We could get them set up in there in their go agent CRM. We could we have the world's most interesting postcard that we could print and mail To all of their people. We can create a Google map that drops a pin when all of their top 150 are and then each week we could have a conversation with them and say, dan, who are you showing houses to this week? Who are you going to see about selling their house this week and we could look on the map and See if you're showing houses in the beaches. You could look and see okay, I've got four people in my top 150 that live in the beaches in the certain neighborhoods where I'm going. If there's a townhouse complex, say Riverrun, we could send an Email or a text to those four people and say hey, dan, I'm showing houses in Riverrun this week and there's only a couple for sale right now. Have you heard anybody Talking about selling? Maybe we can match them up with this couple for a job bro or whatever it is, just do market making activities. So, those things alone, we could do all of the work and I went through for all of the outcomes getting referrals, multiplying your listings, converting leads, finding buyers and getting listings. Those are the, the bankable results that we, that we focus on and I identified that we can literally do every piece of it, and since I've started describing that to people, we just launched our accelerator program in November and I've been positioning it as a personal trainer. Like working with a personal trainer, where you will meet with you once a week, except, unlike working with a personal trainer, we're gonna do the sit-ups and you're gonna get the six pack. That's really, that's a compelling offer, right? Yeah we'll do the sit-ups you get. The six pack is as compelling an offer as we can make. And so we're now six weeks. Six weeks into that proof Certainly proof that life's not fair, exactly. So we're six weeks in and it's very, but it's really. We're positioning it as a combination of Really super skilled virtual assistant who's actually gonna do the work, compared to a coach who just tells you what to do but it's not gonna do it for you. So it's really all that sweet spot. But even then, dan, it's still getting everything set up and going through things I said so much of it is just about Getting things into orbit. Like once the systems are set up and once the things are in place, it's much easier. But you have to go through this, the van Allen belt, where you're getting pummeled with meteorites and space junk and Fear, and there's all these thoughts that that people have because it's new to them and they're good, everything they've got to make sure everything fits with their brand, and there there's a lot of questions and then what's gonna happen and all of that, that stuff. But very already people are getting Results. We'd send some may, sent out their first world's most interesting postcard, got a eight hundred thousand dollar listing and as a referral and then sold that person another house. I'll all and closed it all in this first six weeks. Somebody else did. Some of the listing multipliers had an open house. Mm-hmm found a buyer for that house and so it all works. It's just the getting understanding what those the bankable results are, what the outcomes are. Dan: Yeah, the interesting thing I did another tool in addition to the when are you great, and it's called crucial ABC questions and what you do as you have people brainstorm, growth problems. In other words, there they have a real opportunity for growth, but there's a problem and and you have them do that for a couple minutes and they can do it in their personal life, they can do it in their business life, whatever suits them. And Then you ask them take each of the growth problems and you ask them three questions, abc. And a is there any way I can solve this problem by doing nothing? And the answer is usually no, they have to. They have to communicate something. They have to. They have to communicate. Maybe it's a decision they have to make and and, but that clarifies them that it's a lot simpler than them, because when you hear about problem, this is gonna is gonna require a lot of time. There's gonna require a lot of effort and I'm already doing a lot of things and now I got a selfless problem. But if you ask the first question, is there any way that the problem can solve itself? All of a sudden, it clarifies your thinking down to a very simple level and then the question be, as what's the least that I will have to do to solve this problem? Dean: Okay, and again. Dan: It refines what you came up with. Question a and. I have to communicate, what's the fastest way I communicate and to whom? And in such a way, that's it for me, then I don't have to do anything, I just have to communicate. I just have to communicate one thing. And then the third question, which I think I'm gonna see what your response to it is who's the? Who can do my least? Dean: I Agree with that a hundred percent. That fits now neatly with a tool. I've been working on that's. I've been calling three L's and Whenever we're not getting something done, it usually falls into three Categories. It's either a logic problem, meaning we don't know what to do. That's so we got to figure out. Do you know what to do about this Situation? And then, if you do know what to do, the next thing is a logistics Problem. Do you know how to do this or what actually needs to be done, what are the sequential steps? And I like that idea of what's the least that you can do logistically to get this handle and if you know what to do, and and you know what needs to be done and how it needs to be done. The third is Olympic problem that there's some emotional block, something that you're not taking action because your thinking is off on this, and that is watered down From I heard somewhat Andrew Tate. Actually, I heard a thing he talked about. There's only three reasons that he was using Broke, the only. There's only three reasons you're broke it's either lazy, arrogant, or You're lazy, stupid or arrogant and I thought those are like down the emotional words all the way up to 11. But I started looking at it that if you take stupid as the dialing the thing is Yours. Dan: As much easier to take your three else as much easier to take and the reason is you can be a perfectly good person, intelligent person, a creative person, but you don't understand the logic of the situation. That's perfectly acceptable and you don't know the logistics yeah you don't know what the logistics and the limbic one is. You hadn't thought about it, but now that you bring up the topic, yeah, there is an issue. Yeah, I'll give you a really great example of that. We had a Prezone client about three or four years ago and he came up with a great technological breakthrough in the medical industry that allowed, using virtual reality, allows students and medical colleges to experience every organ and his case it was the face and the head because he was. He was a cosmetic surgeon and he and he and instead of seeing that as a two-dimensional illustration in Textbook, they put gone goggles and they actually walked into a room. That was the inside of the organ and then it had 17 different elements to it that spoke to you when you put a laser beam on. So he had laser beam, he was at his oculus you know oculus flies around and then he had a laser beam and when he talked to it would explain itself and then it would say how it was connected to another thing in the organ and he could just go in 360 degrees and the whole the organ would announce itself to us. It would describe itself to him and the. He showed it to medical schools and they went Gaga. He showed it to technological companies and they went Gaga and. Anyways, that's where he was when he demonstrated it to us in free zone. And then, 90 days later, I came back and I said how's it going? You got, have you launched with anything? He says nah, there's, there's some, some issues. I haven't started out yet and Anyway, and I couldn't see how any of the issues would relate to being successful in the marketplace. All you have to do is walk somebody through it. It's crack, right, show them, show it to them right, have them just go through and it sells itself. So then 90 day, another 90 days, so we're a half a year down the road and we're talking you still. I said I had to chat to you about this and he said I said yeah, I said let me take a, let me take a, you know, let me guess what I think your problem is here. And yeah, he says okay. I said it's okay for you to split half of what you've earned up until now, but it's not okay to split 50% of the future. And he said yeah, that's exactly it. And I said how long have you known that this day was coming? And he said 17 years. And I said okay, that's good, you're practiced at it. And I said so if it's three years from now and nothing's changed, is that okay for you? And he says no, it's not. I said two years, no. I said one year, no. I said next 90 days and he said no. I got him down to two weeks and he started everything in motion the first week after the program. And that's a. That's a that might be all three. Three packed into one. Dean: It's the progression right, like it's usually. It is the way you just described, that's it's Olympic thing and that clarity, once you really understand that, that's the big and it gets you. That's more like you can walk through then what the action is. Dan: But you realize that yeah, yeah, but I don't like that notion of stupidity and lazy. There's lots of reasons people are broke. They're not Exactly. Dean: And that's what I said in. The noble thing of the lazy is really that it could fall down into that they don't know the logistics of what to do or they're busy is a very noble thing that they would go into, that they're too busy, and then that's what I did is that's how I dialed them down to logic. Dan: Yeah, I try making a. I find moral insults never work. Dean: Absolutely. That's exactly right and that's where, when you break it down clinically like that, the logic, logistics and limbic, those are the. Dan: Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, I think you got a winner. Dean: We'll put that up there with VCR formula. That's good. Dan: You got a winner. Have you gotten a smart contract on the two of them yet? Dean: No. Dan: I have not. Yeah, you should give Kerry Oberbrunner a call. He can have them date stamped today. Call him. Call him and he'll, just within 24 hours, he'll give you a black chain smart contract, both of them. Dean: I like it. Dan: Yeah, I like it. That way nobody will be able to steal break into the season's Valhalla and steal your latest ideas. Dean: It's all happening right here. Yeah, the idea lab at the four seasons, valhalla. Dan: They'll probably just take off over the golf course and you wouldn't be able to track them down. Dean: That's right, exactly so funny. Are you in Toronto for a while now, or what's your First a? Dan: week, and then we're back to Buenos Aires next Saturday. Dean: We go back to Buenos Aires another week. How's your new knees? Dan: The knee, we were told takes six months for the missing cartilage to regrow. So they said you won't really feel a difference for three months after we did it, so we're a month away, but I will tell you the IV that we did for RAIN, where they put stem cells into our brain is noticeable progress. I really will notice the difference and it shows up in another sort of therapy that I'm doing, which is neuro potential, and I think I've described this to you and I do it once a week when I'm here, and I've done it three times since I came back from Argentina, and what it is that they put sensors on my hip 19 sensors, and it's like a net. We're, we're, you have to go to do that again Right at Alan Expressway in Shepherd. It's just above and I had to check whether I needed a passport or I need right extra oxygen with me or shot, yeah, yeah. Dean: And they told me. Dan: No, yeah, they told me they probably advanced, and they. You can just Come from the beaches to that area now without any worry, you can actually do it without worry now. And but what it is? It's 40 minutes I've done. I had done 30 in the last year and showed noticeable progress. And I'll tell you what the progress is that I've been diagnosed with a backward brain OK, and I've been doing a backward being that in the middle of the night I'm doing creative, productive work that I should be doing in the middle of the day, yeah, and in the middle of the day I am attempting to dose and and that would probably be one of the reasons why Adderall was a very attractive drug for me, because it woke me up Over a long period of time has negative effects on your nervous system. So anyway, I came back and here's how it goes, dean, when you go through the 40 minutes, probably five, six times, the screen will go black and the sound goes out, even though the movie keeps going on. So you're watching a favorite movie. I chose Foils War really whopping good British production from 15 years ago, about a homicide detective who is solving murders during the Second World War. So that's called Foils War, and he's getting resistance from higher officials because there's dodgy dealing going on with higher officials in the British government that are wealthy people who are trying to protect themselves. So anyway, it's very grossing, and usually five, six times during the 40 minute period the screen will go black and then what happens is you don't have to do anything, your brain just notices that things have gone dark, the sound's gone off, it was correct, it was the input back. So it's a constant feedback. And then you get better at it. And then the technician you have a technician sitting with you and she, they're all she's. She will increase the difficulty for next time and that's gone out now for about 30, 30 sessions. Before I went to Argentina and, and really noticeable results, when I do intelligence test, mental test, you can see the difference. That's actually done it and now mostly so. Anyway, I come back a week after we got back I went to my first session and I go 40 minutes and no blackouts and no, no loss of sound, and I get to the end of the session. Now these technicians are very rigorously connected that they give human feedback for what's going on. They're just, they're just adjusting the sensors or whatever they're making notes, but they're making notes, but they're not telling you what the notes are. Dean: No reinforcement or stimulus. Dan: I get to the end of the first session and she looks at me with a big smile and she said that was fantastic. She said I've never seen that before. Yes, she said, I've never seen anyone go through all 40 minutes without this being going out. Now it did blur a little bit, but it never, went black and the sound didn't go up. Okay, that was three weeks ago. And then two weeks ago I did it again and it just edged into the black once, even though she had increased the difficulty. She had increased the difficulty just a little bit, went in half a second and then it came back and that was it. And yesterday I went in 40 minutes and no black, no sundown, even though she had increased the difficulty again. She said this is quite exceptional. She said I have not seen this kind of progress being made. I think it's because of the stem cells to my brain, which I will get again the week after next month? Dean: Wow, are you still going to osteosteostrong, or is that the place? Dan: Yeah, I was in osteostrong yesterday. Yeah, Interesting. I haven't been doing much other work exercise so I've maintained basically where I am with osteostrong and really good. I mean they have a thing called double standard. When I do double standard, I'm strong enough my legs, my arms and everything else. So it means that I haven't lost any strength over the last 14 months. I haven't lost it, which is good, which is very good, and actually I've actually gained strength. I've showed plenty of progress. Dean: But so far. I had a nice Zoom with our osteopath friend from London who was in the three years on Intra. Dan: Tehira, tehira, tehira, yes. Dean: He's very passionate about osteo. Dan: Very passionate, yeah, very passionate, yeah. He just needs to do one little mindset change. Is mindset change? Do you want to know what it is? I do, of course. He wants to save the world. Dean: Yes, I got that great tune. He wants to save them from something that doesn't present as an imminent danger. It's a chronic long. You don't have any evidence that there's anything wrong, until you fall and break your hip. Dan: He's got a limbic obstacle, you hit it on the head. Dean: You hit it exactly there. It's so funny that you said he wants to save the world. My advice to him I said we've got to prove evidence. It's so funny because I hadn't heard you go through that exercise. But all the things that he was talking about are left side things. That are the things I was showing. I said to him it's very interesting, but what could you do that would make let's call it that liver puddleans. How could we make headline news that liver puddleans have the strongest bones in the world or that there's eliminated? The downside of this that was something that, if you're going to save the world, you've certainly got to start. I heard that one time Bono from U2. There was a movie called Killing Bono, but for years they would be dubbed as the second best band in Dublin. If your goal is to be the biggest band in the world, you've certainly got to be the biggest band in Dublin. If we're going to save all the world from the negative impact of osteo health. How could we start with liver pool and make liver puddleans that help with bones in the world. Dan: My attitude is can you do it with one person? Dean: First question can you do it with? Dan: one person. I said, if you can do it with one person, I think you know 50% of what's needed to do it with 10 people. Dean: Then you get to 10. Dan: Now you know 50% of what it takes to get 100 people. Just work up your capability and confidence. That way it's a lot easier. Dean: That's the scale-ready algorithm. Once you figure out how to do it, once you've got some evidence. But until you do it a second time or for 10, you're so right on. That's how we approach marketing problems. Dan: I called the Singapore model. Singapore was a lawless Southeast Asia primed all the criminals within the 1,000 miles of Singapore. This is where they went. They had their warehouses there, they did their deals there, they recruited people. Singapore became independent of Great Britain in 1965. It was mainly the work of one family, the Lee family. They're still in charge. It's 60 years down the road and they're still in charge. It's a big harbor, it's one of the better harbors in Southeast Asia. They said let's get together some muscle People who know how to give hard knocks to hard people. They went in and they said in the first six months we cleared the entire block that surrounds on land, the block of houses and buildings that surround the harbor. At the end of six months they're crime-free. They did it Not without pushback but they overcame the pushback. Then they said over the next six months, let's clear two blocks in from what we've already achieved. Dean: They did Now they had three blocks. Dan: This was the most important real estate from a commercial standpoint in Singapore. Then they said now we're going to go four more blocks in. By the end of the next six months we'll have seven blocks. The criminals all got the message and left the city. Dean: Wow, that's pretty amazing. Yeah, that's the wisdom right Is getting it into the thing of one. Dan: Get a foothold that you can learn from. Dean: Yes, I agree. Dan: Yeah, I think that saving the world First of all, I don't even know what the world is. I don't know what saving. That means I wouldn't know where to start. I wouldn't know how to keep score. When do I actually get to be happy? Dean: Yes, so amazing. I love it. I can't believe it's been an hour, but this was fantastic yeah. Dan: I'll be just arriving Next week. I'll just be arriving and playing this series. It'll be the wheel. I'll just see Becca, because we're time difference, two hour time difference. Let's see if we can sneak one in during the week. Dean: Okay, I'll never no no. Dan: Dean and Dan, don't do sneaking. No, that's exactly right. Dean: I'll leave it in tension. Dan: Becca will be with us. We take Becca with us, so Becca will do it. I just do it right at the Four Seasons Hotel and playing this series. Okay, no, anyway great to chat. Dean: Okay, dan, I'll talk to you soon. Bye.

The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the first basketball-only podcast to be a part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down an undefeated week for the USC men's and women's basketball teams. USC men's assistant coach Jay Morris joins the show to discuss what has led to the Trojans' recent surge and what they will have to do to continue playing well. He also discusses his path to becoming an assistant at USC and how his Southern California roots are used on the recruiting trail. The Women of Troy remain ranked No. 9 after a pair of wins over the Oregon schools last week. They were able to hold off three last-second attempts from Oregon State to win 56-54, handing the Beavers their first loss of the season, and then USC was able to finish on an 18-5 run against Oregon to pull away for a 14-point win. The men's team has its first winning streak since November after defeating both of the Bay Area schools last week at the Galen Center. The Trojans played some of their best offensive basketball of their season, sharing the basketball for high assist totals whilst rarely turning the ball over. Coincidentally, Kobe Johnson and Isaiah Collier seemed to break out of some winter malaise that had struck both guards. Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including looking closely at former No. 1 overall recruits JuJu Watkins and Isaiah Collier, focusing the spotlight on Bronny James and looking at exactly where the Trojans stand statistically and in the standings. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the recent USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead. For the men, they complete their three-game home swing on Wednesday against Washington State before taking off on a potentially make-or-break road trip to Colorado and the Arizona schools while the Women of Troy prepare for their Sunday rematch with the No. 2 UCLA two weeks after falling to the Bruins at Pauley Pavilion.

Longtime riding buddies Chris Gardner and Dom O'Mahoney share a harrowing tale from a Baja ADV ride gone wrong. "When it's time to shut it down --when you are on your last redundant backup plan --it's not time to keep carrying on and bombing down these roads. Our ride was over, but we were just overwhelmed with fun, and we lost sight of that." -Chris Gardner on an ADV Ride For The Ages. Strap in as these two highly experienced riders talk about how they were having too much fun to shut it down when everything went wrong. Dom was lucky that the fire he experienced on the first night --that burned almost everything he had with him --spared his Garmin In-Reach and waterproof tent cover. Those two items probably saved his life. He used the tent cover for warmth and shelter as he weathered the cold and rain on the night he spent exposed to the elements. Coincidentally, he had just gotten his Garmin In-Reach charged the day he broke down. He chose his out-of-country communications contact wisely, as that fellow (Matt) a former Navy Seal --remained very calm, all things considered. Ultimately, we were lucky that we only had a modest story of endurance while exposed to the elements in Dom's case --and a harrowing tale of devotion to one's mission in the face of extreme adversity in Chris' case. Happy New Year, and thank you to all who tuned in in 2023 and are still listening today. Please watch this conversation on YouTube. And as always, subscribe, post, tag, and r--emember to enjoy the ride.

Here's Jen's story from her website: https://turtleshelterproject.org/jensstory "My addiction led me to being homeless on several occasions throughout my life, and during that time I personally knew seven people who froze to death. When I first learned about this lifesaving technology, my mind flooded with ideas on how many people's lives this could save. I'd recently been homeless during an extreme winter. It had been one of the coldest winters Utah had suffered in a long time, so the misery of surviving the bitter cold was still very fresh in my mind. While I was homeless I remember feeling the chill all the way to my bones. I couldn't even think or function. It completely zapped me of my energy so much that I was losing my will to live. Everything felt beyond overwhelming. Simple tasks, like finding a bathroom, seemed to feel like huge obstacles. The crazy thing about it was: I had a car I was living in; I had a storage unit I could hang out in during the day and at night; and I had an income that was sufficient for my needs. But being homeless completely broke me - even with all of the resources I had available to me.

I began thinking that if homelessness crushed me, even with all that I had, then what would it do to someone who had much less, or even nothing?  I wanted to do something to help people with this burden. When I learned about foam clothing, I knew without a doubt that God was telling me -"THIS IS HOW YOU CAN HELP!"

After a lot of prayer and asking God to put the right people in my path, I started talking to everyone about my desire to make foam clothing for the homeless. Eventually I told the right person and that is how I met Marian Edmonds-Allen. At the time Marian, an ordained minister, was the executive director for the Utah Pride Center. Prior to that she had served as the Executive Director of OUTreach Resource Centers and in 2015 was named a Petra Fellow for her work with LGBTQ homeless youth.   Marian was particularly interested in my idea for getting foam clothing into the hands of the homeless and arranged a meeting to hear more. But it was still just an idea.  The truth is I had no idea how to make the project happen, and at the time I had only been clean and sober for 7 months.  Things were put on hold for a while because Marian took a new job at Parity in New York and resigned from the Pride Center.  I had been in drug rehab, but I needed to finish getting clean, sober, and stable.  My recovery sponsor kept telling me that this was God's project, not mine, and I needed to let go and let God make this happen in HIS time.   

After about 2 years, in January 2017, God led me to Angela Roth.  Angela is someone who not only knows how to create a pattern but can sew like a rock star! Coincidentally, when I met her she had been praying for an opportunity to use her sewing and patterning talents to do something truly meaningful for people with a genuine need.  We teamed up and started the Turtle Shelter Project! We decided to make vests because we thought a simple vest would be able to keep a person's core warm.  If your core is warm, the rest of you stays warm longer.  We came up with a vest pattern that would be fairly easy for volunteers to make and keep production cost down.  After purchasing materials for 50 vests, we had only spent $30 for each one. The goal was to use labor donated by volunteers. This would give people the opportunity to serve in any capacity, whether it be time or money, and to truly do something meaningful that can help save lives. 

Between September 2017 and January of 2018, with the help of many volunteers, we produced 50 TSP vests.  We handed some out to people experiencing homelessness to do some field testing for us and let us know how they worked.  The response has been excellent!  As a result of their feedback, we have made improvements to the vests.  We have added hoods, pockets, and a sturdy belt to help them fit better. We have also used some of the vests to do field testing by ourselves and friends and family who were willing. The results have been very encouraging!!! We want these vests to go to people living outdoors or who don't have access to shelters, because they are the ones who need this technology the most.  The vests are called "Turtle Shelters" because they are a portable shelter - just like a turtle taking its shelter with it.  Wearing a Turtle Shelter Vest makes having a source of heat a nicety, but not a necessity because the foam insulation in the vest will harness the body's heat and conserve it.  The vests are very well made to provide durability, wind resistance, insulation, and comfort.  They are a very effective way to help provide life-saving warmth."  

Zo is joined by Chris Smith from Podtastic Audio and The Kris and Kristine Show. Coincidentally, Zo and Chris where invited to the same Christmas Eve party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Las Angeles. Like everyone else the two guys just wanted to hang out with friends, co-workers and have a good time, but their plans where foiled when terrorists crash the party. Glass is crashing, guns are blasting, it's a whole thing. There's one guest, though, who, unbeknownst to the bad guys, remained unaccounted for. It's a guy who plans to crash the party-crashers. A man named John McClane. Segments:00:29:07 . . .  Opening Credits01:12:51 . . . . .

Episode 2414 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Nina Teicholz about the price of propaganda at Harvard, in the food industry, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/11/price-propoganda-with-nina-teicholz-episode-2414 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - The Price of Propaganda Harvard is consistently putting out incorrect studies led by Walter Willet. (2:00) Nina has done an extensive deep dive on why this is happening. The big question is, why are Harvard and Walter Willet so anti-meat? She gives a great example of why correlation is not causation. (3:45) She elaborates on her deep dive into Walter Willet. (7:15) He keeps trying to assert that the science is settled on the topic of red meat to avoid debate. (14:30) Vinnie asks Nina a pointed question—What's in it for Willet? (16:45) There are a lot of parallels between him and Ancel Keys. Nina gives more details about the research she has done for her book. (19:30) There are many conflicts of interest regarding funding; there is a price for propaganda. She has written about this topic several times and revealed such conflicts. Actual clinical trials do not support Willet's claims. He always makes hypotheses but never completes clinical trials. There are so many data points that he ignores. Follow the Money There are plenty of fake food companies that are expanding their business interests. (31:00) They are the ones creating the narrative that meat is bad for the planet so they can claim they are saving the planet. Coincidentally, the claim of cow burps affecting the climate didn't arise until after the low-carb movement became popular. (34:45) The Barilla pasta company came up with a $40 million campaign to get meat off the plate, so you could replace it with pasta. (44:50) Ruminants are essential for soil sustainability and health, so why the attack on cows? (38:30) They chat a bit more about recent funding behind Harvard; it includes a donation of $350 million. (40:00) Even the Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper, called out the $350 million donation as disingenuous. (43:00) Nina ends on a positive note that there are plenty of people who conduct N=1 experiments who find their health improving when going low-carb and eating meat. (46:15) You can find Nina's article at her Substack here: You can find her book Big Fat Surprise . She can also be found on X/Twitter @bigfatsurprise.
