War Room Hundreds of Anti-ICE Activists Attend Training in California on ‘Concrete Tactics' to ‘Resist Trump,' as Dems Claim ‘Civil War' Unfolding

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit! Today, we are tackling those big fall projects, including protecting your home from the tough winter ahead and figuring out how to reclaim those spaces that feel like a lost cause. Let's take a look at the main topics we are tackling this hour, plus home improvement questions from callers: - Weekend Concrete Repair: Winter is super tough on concrete, so with a few simple steps right now, you can save yourself from big repair bills later. We will show you how to seal cracks and protect your concrete surfaces with help from Quikrete, making this an easy and inexpensive weekend project. - Perfect Painting Tips: If you are ready to give your space a fresh look before the holidays, fall is actually the perfect time to pick up a paintbrush due to the cooler, drier weather. We will share seasonal tricks to help you choose the right color, prep your walls, and ensure your paint job is smooth and long-lasting. - Reclaiming Unusable Space: We know more than half of Americans say at least one room in their house is unsalvageable, but we are sharing simple, stress-free ways to declutter and reclaim that space. - Home Lighting: As the days get shorter and darker earlier, lighting becomes everything, so we are sharing simple ways to bring in light and give your home an autumnal glow.   Q & A: - Ladonna in Alaska called us with a snow management question about her log cabin, wondering if placing tarps over her roof would prevent buildup. We advise her that tarps won't provide the relief she wants and suggest sticking with her snow rake, - Bill in Maryland has small cracks in his chimney crown and was told by a chimney sweep to cover them with plastic roof cement. We confirm that removing the crown is unnecessary, but strongly advise against the plastic roof cement because it traps moisture; instead, Bill should use a good-quality silicone caulk to seal the cracks. - Marilyn reached out because her daughter can hear her condo neighbors talking through thin walls. We suggest soundproofing solutions like adhering a second layer of drywall or implementing decorative solutions like long drapes or acoustical wall panels. - Shen in New Hampshire wants to tile a poured concrete wall in her garage staircase and asked about prepping the surface. We recommend first ensuring her gutters are directing water away from the wall to reduce moisture, then using an uncoupling membrane, such as Dietra, to prevent the tiles from cracking from differential movement. - Keith in Georgia has a very low crawl space and needs suggestions to seal the dirt floor to prevent moisture evaporation. The simple solution we suggest is laying polyethylene sheeting across the entire crawl space floor and up the walls to keep the space drier and prevent mold and mildew.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Most makers want their work to look authentic, but too often GFRC ends up looking like plastic instead of stone. That disconnect leaves artisans frustrated and searching for answers. In this episode of The Concrete Podcast, we unpack why that happens, how to avoid it, and what it takes to get your concrete to look and feel the way it should. We'll also walk through the bigger question every DIYer and pro faces - how do you choose the right mix for countertops, sinks, furniture, and tile? Not all mixes are created equal, and the wrong one can cost you time, money, and the quality of your work. By the end, you'll understand what to look for, what to stay away from, and how to make confident choices that elevate your craft. If you've been struggling with “plasticky” finishes or just wondering what makes a truly great concrete mix, this conversation will give you the clarity you need. Because when your materials rise to the level of your vision, you stop fighting against concrete and start creating with it. #ConcretePodcast #MakerMindset #concretecountertops #GFRCConcrete #CraftAndGrowth #ArtisanJourney #SelfDevelopmentForMakers #concretefurniture #KodiakPro

The youth mental health crisis is one of the most urgent challenges facing families today — but what can be done at a policy level to create lasting change? In this episode, former Ohio Governor John Kasich joins host Gabe Howard to share his work with the Bipartisan Policy Center and their recommendations for addressing this national emergency. Governor Kasich explains why integrating mental health into primary care could be a game-changer for kids and adults alike. He highlights the small but critical legislative victories that are moving the needle and offers practical advice for advocates and parents: how to approach elected officials, how to use your personal story effectively, and how to channel passion into real influence without giving up in frustration. Three key takeaways for listeners: Why bipartisan cooperation is essential for mental health reform How integration of behavioral health into primary care can transform outcomes Concrete steps anyone can take to make their voices heard in government If you've ever felt powerless to change the system, this episode will inspire you to keep pushing, stay hopeful, and take action for the next generation. “And it's hard to build a relationship with a therapist to begin with. And then when they tell you you can't have it anymore and you got to go find another one. I think it's a lot easier to just say, I'll just try to make my way through this, even when it's really difficult. And that was another one we keep working on.” ~Former Ohio Governor, John Kasich Our guest, John Kasich, is a national leader who has spent a lifetime bringing people together to solve big problems and leaving the world around them just a little bit better than they found it.  As the 69th Governor of Ohio (2011-2019), John Kasich led the Ohio Comeback. In his time as governor, he established JobsOhio, a first of its kind economic-development entity, and helped Ohio diversify its economy and create approximately 500,000 private-sector jobs. He went on to cut a record $5 billion in taxes, cut wasteful spending, reduce red tape and build Ohio's rainy-day fund to more than $2 billion. Gov. Kasich ran for President in 2016. He was the last candidate to leave the GOP primary and finished third in the total delegate count. His message focused on unifying Americans rather than dividing them, championing the great potential of our citizens to make positive impacts in their own communities, a strong national defense and the importance of our international alliances. Today, he runs the Kasich Company strategic consulting firm and serves as a television commentator for NBC and MSNBC. He is also a fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and the Meadows Mental Health Policy Health Institute. He is married to Karen Kasich and is the proud father of twin daughters. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

Most of what you see online right now isn't designed to help you grow. It's designed to keep you nodding, scrolling, and agreeing.    Viral soundbites, 30-second reels, celebrities chasing trends—it's all part of a system that rewards superficiality over substance. And if you're someone putting real effort into your work, it can feel like you're shouting into the void while the BS racks up likes and followers.   In this episode, I'm breaking down: •Why the landscape feels so hollow right now (and no, it's not just you imagining it). •What the human psyche actually craves in times of overload—and how platforms exploit it. •How to filter out the junk so you don't waste energy on fast-food advice. •Concrete ways to adapt so you can stand out without selling out.   If you've ever thought, “Why bother? Real work doesn't break through anymore,” this one's for you.

In this interview episode, I'm joined by Anton Sullivan, a retired police inspector with over 32 years of operational experience.We briefly discuss Anton's career before moving on to the murder of French national Christophe Borgye in 2009 and the challenges investigators, including Anton, faced during the case. Due to his fluency in French, Anton was able to act as the family liaison officer and help with translations, and the case went on to become a huge part of his career.Anton shares the emotional reality of contacting the victim's family, the turning point marked by the discovery of human remains, and how police worked to confirm Christophe's identity. We also explore the wider societal and procedural differences between investigations in France and the UK.The story has recently been covered in a two-part documentary called 'Murder in Concrete' which is available to watch now on Prime Video:Watch MURDER IN CONCRETE | Prime Video***This interview was recorded on September 16, 2025.Join my Patreon community at patreon.com/britishmurders for exclusive perks, including early access to ad-free episodes, exclusive episodes and content, exciting giveaways, and welcome goodies!

Send us a textThe FBI is shifting focus toward charging juveniles—especially poor and minority kids—with federal crimes that can ruin their future. At the same time, America glamorizes crime for entertainment while criminalizing poverty.In this episode of the Concrete Genius Podcast, Sauce Mackenzie breaks down:Why federal juvenile charges are a trap for Black youthHow the system profits off our pain and cultureThe hypocrisy of celebrating outsiders who cosplay Black culture while Black women are punished for lessWhy foreign influence in American politics has twisted our focus away from protecting our communitiesWhy it's time for Black people to unite with self-respect, discipline, and compassionThis is more than commentary—it's a call for accountability, unity, and protection of our kids.

This week, IAQradio will interview Dr. Jake Avila, Associate Professor at Middle Tennessee State University, to discuss his work at MTSU's School of Concrete and Construction Management. The question for the restoration industry is, will its chance at a 2nd Act with higher education advance the practice and trade of restoration and damage repair, to be recognized by government and general industry as a profession? Tune in this week for an engaging interview with Dr Jake as he discusses a plan the restoration industry can embrace and build off the lessons learned from its first act with Purdue to advance the business of restoration to become a recognized profession! LEARN MORE this week on IAQ Radio+.   Dr. Avila's industry experience spans over seventeen years in the construction industry where he worked primarily in general management. Prior to his transition to academia, he served as executive vice president and general manager of CA Construction, a family-owned construction firm specializing in disaster restoration and government contracting. As general manager he oversaw the business operations as well as construction and consulting services to government agencies, homeowners, property managers, law firms, AEC firms, third-party administrators, and major insurance carriers. He is a scholar-practitioner and is committed to enhancing the work of restoration industry professionals through applied research. The underlying goal in all his work is to help disaster restoration firms build capacity by systematically advancing the understanding of industry dynamics, improving the design and application of best practices, and strengthening connections between scholarly and professional activities. His research recently examined family business dynamics in the restoration industry and, in collaboration with faculty at Purdue University; he is currently the principal investigator of a study that is examining employee burnout and engagement in the restoration industry. Since 2008 Dr. Avila has taught in business, engineering, and construction programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Prior to coming to MTSU he served two other institutions as an associate professor, business department chair, MBA program director, and program director in a college of engineering. Dr. Avila holds a bachelor's degree in industrial/organizational psychology from Pepperdine University, a master of business administration from California Baptist University, and a doctorate from the University of Southern California. As an undergraduate he studied at ITESM in Guadalajara, Mexico, and while pursuing his master's degree he studied at Regent's Park College of the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. He and his wife, Becca, have been married since 2004 and they have three children: Jackson, Liv, and Jeremiah. They live in Franklin, Tennessee and love to travel, explore, hike, fish, hunt, and do many other things outdoors.

On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with the blistering Irish rock quartet Inhaler! The band fronted by Elijah Hewson most recently released its junior album, 'Open Wide,' in February. They kick off the conversation talking about touring, including life on the road, playing festivals like Sea. Hear. Now., and gigs in South America. The guys get into how they met and formed in Ireland, and the Irish music scene they grew up in, with bands like Fontaines DC. They discuss loads about the influence of UK and Irish music and their own experiences shaping today's generation – what it was like opening up for Noel Gallagher, the current Oasis comeback stadium tour, and the new Spinal Tap 2 movie. They talk about the new album and the stories behind some of its hit songs like “Concrete.” The band also gets into the plights of musicians today, giving their thoughts on AI, starting young in the industry, band fights, and band democracy. Inhaler spills so much during this interview, hinting at what's to come, so this chat is not to be missed.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Lindsay Stadel  —wife, mom, entrepreneur, and award-winning author—who speaks plainly about depression, alcohol misuse, suicide ideation, and the work of recovery. Lindsay recounts the night everything changed, the decision to seek therapy, tapering off medication under care, and how she now runs four businesses while protecting her mental health. This episode is a direct, stigma-breaking conversation about warning signs, creating safe dialogue, and practical coping mechanisms. If you or someone you love is struggling, this talk models how to ask better questions and get help—without glamorizing harm.   About the Guest  : Lindsay Stadel   is an entrepreneur (four businesses, 13+ employees), award-winning author, and mental-health advocate. After a suicide attempt and years of therapy, she uses lived experience to help others recognize warning signs, seek support, and rebuild with honest conversations and daily choices.   Key Takeaways : Suicide ideation often hides behind outward success; watch for contradictions between public image and private behavior. Concrete warning signs can include giving away possessions, social withdrawal, and increased alcohol consumption. Naming suicide directly does not “plant ideas”; silence increases risk—ask specific, compassionate questions about mental state. “What if = fear; Even if = faith”: reframe catastrophic thinking into resilient problem-solving. Recovery is incremental: therapy, the right medication (when needed), tapering under care, and daily coping practices. Family transparency builds early detection; agree on signs to watch for and how to bring them up. Choose your circle: surround yourself with people who support healthy routines and accountability. Success does not erase pain; it requires boundaries, routines, and honest self-check-ins to stay well.   If you or someone you know is struggling or thinking about suicide, please know you are not alone.In the U.S., dial or text 988 to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support, available 24/7.    If you're outside the U.S., please look up the local hotlines in your country or visit https://findahelpline.com/ for international crisis resources.     Connect with the Guest   Website: https://lindsaystadel.com/ Facebook: Search “Lindsay Stadel   Book: https://www.borntorisk.com/ She's active on major platforms under her name.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Mass timber is often promoted as faster, cheaper, and greener—but does it really hold up against concrete? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, we examine where timber actually competes, where it falls short, and what owners and engineers need to know before choosing it over concrete. From speed and aesthetics to fire ratings, insurance, and durability, this conversation exposes the tradeoffs that get lost in the marketing.What You'll Learn- What exactly qualifies as mass timber, and why is CLT the dominant product?- Can timber's speed of construction outweigh prefabrication challenges?- Why do acoustics and fire safety force timber to rely on concrete toppings?- How do insurance and durability concerns stack up against concrete?- Are sustainability claims for timber real—or just another sales pitch?- Where does concrete still deliver advantages timber can't match?Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Mass Timber and Concrete04:38 – Understanding Mass Timber Products09:00 – Advantages of Mass Timber in Construction13:40 – Design Considerations and Aesthetics18:22 – Durability, Maintenance, and Sustainability22:48 – Cost, Insurance, and Market TrendsGuest InfoName: Garrett BraunEmail: gbraun@blueneststructural.comWebsite: https://www.blueneststructural.com/Company: Blue Nest StructuralConcrete Logic AcademyEarn PDHs the easy way.

In this Nonprofit Power Week conversation, we sit down with Jen Blasy, Manager at Your Part-Time Controller, to confront a topic many organizations would rather avoid: fraud in the nonprofit sector. Jen is unequivocal about the stakes: “Fraud has been a constant. It may look different, but it's still happening.” She explains why the sector's empathy, trust, and lean staffing models can unintentionally create exposure—especially in a remote and hybrid world where e-mail, text, and chat now mediate so many approvals and financial transactions.Jen moves past labels to show how fraud actually occurs. She refreshes the classic “triangle” of pressure, rationalization, and opportunity by adding capability and personal ethics, then wraps it all in culture. Tone at the top matters, she notes, because expectations, zero tolerance, and open conversation are often the only real deterrents. “We need to normalize the discussion of it so that it becomes more normal to talk about,” Jen adds, urging leaders to speak plainly with staff, boards, auditors, and yes—donors—about risks and responsibilities.Concrete scenarios make the message land. From stolen cards being “tested” on donation pages to refund requests designed to route money out through alternate channels, Jen shows how seemingly donor-friendly instincts can be weaponized. She pushes organizations to map their most common money-in and money-out pathways, document updated controls that fit remote workflows, and rehearse a response plan before a crisis. Who do you call first? Legal counsel, your insurer, your auditor, a board champion? Decide now, not mid-incident.The throughline is sector solidarity. Because incidents are underreported and under-prosecuted, offenders can quietly move from one organization to another. Jen challenges leaders to think beyond their own walls and treat transparency as community protection. Make fraud risk a standing board agenda item, ensure auditors' annual fraud conversations are substantive, and appoint an internal champion to coordinate policies, training, and continuous improvement.Fraud will not be eliminated, but its impact can be contained by stronger culture, modernized controls, and candid conversation. This episode equips executives, finance teams, and fundraisers alike to recognize where they're vulnerable and to act. As Jen frames it, progress starts when we stop whispering about fraud and start planning together. #TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFinance #FraudPreventionFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

On today's episode we talk about one of the most ubiquitous human creations in the modern world: Concrete. What would the modern world look like without this grey material we all take for granted?

In this warm conversation Tembi and Albiona cover:How From Scratch began — writing personal grief into a story that reaches others, and how that book later became a Netflix limited series. (Simon & Schuster)What “re-nesting” means (replacing the idea of an “empty nest” with a more generative, whole concept) and practical ways parents can prepare emotionally for children leaving home. (People.com)The creative process Tembi uses: listening, journaling, & exploring different art forms; writing as a practice to slow down and make meaning. (tembilocke.com)Concrete ideas listeners can use right away: short daily rituals (15–45 min), journaling prompts, scheduling “pre-planned joy,” somatic self-care, and negotiating new family rhythms like weekly check-ins.A deep look at Someday, Now — why Tembi created an immersive audio experience (ambient Sicily soundscapes plus narration), and what she hopes listeners will feel after they finish it: that there is possibility, love, and room for transformation even in endings.

What if sunlight alone—not heat—was silently destroying your concrete? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Seth Tandett and Bob Higgins uncover a groundbreaking MIT study that reveals evaporation can be driven by light, not just temperature. This discovery doesn't just change climate models—it could explain why concrete in the field fails in ways labs never predict. From sublimation and surface chemistry to curing practices and accountability, this episode forces the industry to face a missing piece of science hiding in plain sight. What You'll Learn - Can light alone drive evaporation—and what does that mean for concrete curing? - Why does cold-weather curing produce more durable concrete? - Is sublimation the hidden culprit behind freeze–thaw damage? - How does surface relative humidity affect cement formation efficiency? - Why do laboratory tests keep producing results that don't match the field? - Could pigmented curing compounds or internal curing be the next solution? - Are installers being unfairly blamed for failures tied to ignored science?

What if injecting CO2 into concrete could actually make it stronger while fighting climate change?Kristal Kaye, interim CEO of CarbonCure Technologies, discusses her transition from traditional energy finance to leading a company revolutionizing concrete production. With over 30 years in finance across energy, mining, and retail, Kaye now heads a firm that injects captured CO2 directly into concrete, permanently storing it while improving economics for producers. "The concrete industry runs on very lean, tight margin profitability, and we can't ask them to adopt technology that would hinder their livelihood," she explains. CarbonCure has deployed 700+ systems across 35 countries, serving major clients like Amazon while targeting the massive opportunity ahead—over 100,000 concrete plants globally remain untapped. How does economics drive adoption in traditionally conservative industries?Kristal Kaye is the interim CEO of CarbonCure Technologies, a leading carbon utilization company transforming concrete production through innovative CO2 injection technology.

In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins, and guest Nora Fiffer discuss… The personal impetus behind Another Happy Day—how motherhood inspired the story and production values Creating a collaborative, theater-informed mindset that fueled preparation and efficiency Concrete strategies for implementing eight‑hour shooting days and on‑set childcare as non-negotiables in budget and schedule How fewer setups, lean shot lists, and actor preparation maximized time and morale Using fixed creative constraints as generative tools—not limitations Securing talent like Lauren Lapkus, Carrie Coon, and Marilyn Dodds Frank through personalized writing and deep connections Pitching the film to investors with equity and inclusion baked into its DNA (childcare prominently featured, even in opening credits) The importance of making such practices visible to normalize them across the industry Lessons learned in post-production—how the same efficiency and clarity from production didn't automatically carry over How Fiffer plans to carry this ethos forward in future projects Memorable Quotes “What the priority was emerging to shoot eight‑hour days, in addition to providing childcare, this now impacted how we were going to shoot it even before we got to production.” “By prioritizing childcare and the eight‑hour days in the budget… that was untouched.” “Everyone came with fresh ideas.” “I planned every moment, every beat… I knew the script, the story, the characters and the edit in my head so well.” Guests: Nora Fiffer — Writer, director, producer, actor of Another Happy Day Resources: Nora Fiffer, Another Happy Day I Really Love My Husband Instagram Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School (https://nofilmschool.com/) Facebook: No Film School on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/nofilmschool) Twitter: No Film School on Twitter (https://twitter.com/nofilmschool) YouTube: No Film School on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/nofilmschool) Instagram: No Film School on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/nofilmschool)

Every man needs a rule of life—a clear, concrete framework that keeps prayer, family, work, and virtue in order. Without it, we risk wasting time, neglecting our duties, and drifting through life. With it, we gain clarity, perseverance, and a spiritual roadmap toward sanctity.In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, we explore:Natural benefits of a rule: better use of time, decisiveness, consistency, and efficiency.Supernatural benefits: transforming daily actions into prayer, combating disorder, and conforming life to God's will.For your neighbor: how your fidelity inspires others, balances prayer and apostolic works, and sanctifies your community.The right balance: flexibility without laxity, firmness without scrupulosity.Concrete considerations: prayer, family life, work, personal discipline, community, and apostolic action.A rule of life isn't about rigidity—it's about freedom: God first, then your soul, your family, and your apostolate.“He who lives by rule, lives unto God.”
