Former State Department employees whose roles were eliminated as part of a reduction-in-force still received information about whether they would be needed during the government shutdown — including some workers who were told their positions were “excepted.” While the full extent of the issue wasn't immediately clear, three such employees shared those notifications with FedScoop on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. Others were also aware of the problem even if they didn't receive the messages themselves. In response to a FedScoop request for comment, a State spokesperson indicated the department was aware of the issue and had taken steps to address it, confirming there were “minor” discrepancies with data, saying that the department immediately worked to resolve any outstanding issues. Of the three State Department notices reviewed by FedScoop, one informed the RIF'd employee that their position was “excepted” and explained that those roles are defined as those needed for emergencies that threaten life and property or are essential for national security. It then ordered that worker to “report to work on your next regularly scheduled workday.” The other two already RIF'd employees were told that they would be furloughed during the shutdown but that it was “in no way a value judgement on the work you do for the Department.” Those employees were also instructed to review their department emails for updates despite not being able to access that information. Of the three RIF'd employees, only one — a foreign service officer — is still on the department's payroll. As employees at the Education Department prepared for a looming government shutdown this week, several set an automatic email reply to inform others of their furloughed status. But by Thursday morning, some furloughed workers discovered that their automatic email replies had been altered, without their knowledge, to include a message blaming Democratic senators for the ongoing government shutdown. According to two furloughed Education Department employees, the agency sent workers suggested language to use for their out-of-office messages earlier this week, but the language was “neutral” regarding the shutdown. One of the employees, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told FedScoop they and other furloughed staff mostly cut and paste from the suggested language with little to no changes when setting their automatic replies. But when they checked their automatic email replies Thursday morning, the message changed and included partisan language mentioning Democrats, the employee said. The other furloughed worker said they set the generic text for their OOO email Wednesday morning and the message was changed by Wednesday night.

What does it mean to be a woman today? Our culture has turned this into a debate, but for many young women—especially in Christian homes and schools—the real struggle comes in sorting through competing voices, conflicting priorities, and a lack of clear role models.In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies sits down with his daughter, Hannah Owens, founder of The Swish Magazine. Drawing from her own classical Christian upbringing, Hannah shares how she came face-to-face with the confusion around womanhood in her Gen Z college years and why she's now committed to recovering a vision of classical femininity—the preservation and reflection of truth, goodness, and beauty in womanhood.Together they discuss:Why Gen Z women often prioritize career over marriage and family—and what that reveals about cultural messaging.The gap between “pioneer bonnets” and modern feminism—and why girls need something more rooted and hopeful in between.How role models, from Princess Catherine to contemporary Christian entrepreneurs, can embody duty, beauty, and service.Practical ways parents and schools can guide daughters toward confident, Christ-centered womanhood.From family photo walls to auditing media habits, Hannah offers tangible steps to help reframe femininity not as performance, but as calling. This is a conversation for parents, educators, and young women alike who long to celebrate the true, good, and beautiful in a culture that has lost its way.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupZipCastWilson Hill AcademyLife Architects Coaching Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

The Wine Guys return to Germany for their first German red on the show, the 2023 Gerd Anselmann Pfalz Dornfelder. What starts with jammy blackberries, blueberries, and plum on the nose quickly turns into one of the most unusual tasting experiences they have had all season. Freshness, juiciness, bitterness, and earth all fight for attention in a wine that feels like two different bottles in one sip.The crew dives into Dornfelder's backstory too. Bred in 1955, this crossing has already climbed to become Germany's second most planted red grape. They talk through the two styles you're most likely to run into and where this Pfalz bottle falls. The chat drifts into serving temp, what foods it begs for like lamb or a charcuterie board, and how the wine's unexpected weight and flavor keep throwing them curveballs To close things out, the Wine Vibes game makes another appearance, distilling Dornfelder into pure vibes instead of tasting notes. Weird, surprising, but enjoyable, this wine sparks one of the most curious conversations yet.Connect with the show.

When most people first hear about Infinite Banking, one of the first questions that comes up is: “But what are the risks of Infinite Banking?” It's a fair question. We live in a financial world where we've been conditioned to look for the fine print, the hidden traps, and the potential downsides of anything that sounds “too good to be true.” https://www.youtube.com/live/7JHmm5jEfQ0 I get it. When you first hear the concept of becoming your own banker through whole life insurance, the mind immediately goes to skepticism: Are the premiums too high? Is whole life a bad investment? What if I can't afford it later? Here's the truth: most of what people call the risks of Infinite Banking aren't really risks at all. They're misconceptions, misunderstandings, or simply the result of looking at Infinite Banking through the wrong lens. In this blog, we'll pull back the curtain and unpack the myths, expose the real risks, and help you see why Infinite Banking—when understood and implemented correctly—is not risky, but rather one of the most powerful financial strategies you can use to take control of your wealth. Common Misconceptions About Infinite BankingMyth #1: Whole Life Insurance is a Bad InvestmentMyth #2: The Premiums are Too HighMyth #3: Infinite Banking = Life InsuranceThe Real Risks of Infinite BankingRisk #1: Not Understanding the Problem You're SolvingRisk #2: Poorly Designed PoliciesRisk #3: Dipping Your Toe InRisk #4: Wrong Perspective (Consumer vs. Owner)Why Infinite Banking Works When Done RightControl vs. DependencyRecapturing Opportunity CostMutual Companies Align With OwnersShould You Be Worried About the Risks?The Bottom Line on Infinite Banking RisksBook A Strategy CallFAQ: What Are the Risks of Infinite Banking?Is Infinite Banking risky?What are the downsides of Infinite Banking?Is Infinite Banking a scam?Can I lose money with Infinite Banking? Common Misconceptions About Infinite Banking Myth #1: Whole Life Insurance is a Bad Investment This is the first thing most people say when they hear about Infinite Banking. They've been told for years by financial gurus that whole life insurance has a low rate of return and is therefore “a bad investment.” But here's the problem: Infinite Banking is not an investment. It's a system. It's about controlling the flow of your money, not chasing the next hot stock. Whole life insurance is simply the tool that makes Infinite Banking possible—it provides the guarantees, safety, and contractual structure you need to run your own banking system. So when someone says Infinite Banking is risky because life insurance is a “bad investment,” they're comparing apples to oranges. Myth #2: The Premiums are Too High Another common objection: “What if I can't afford the premiums long term?” Here's what most people miss. Premiums are not a bill—they are a way of paying yourself first. Every premium dollar you pay is a contribution to your own financial system. Unlike money you pay to a bank, that premium isn't lost—it builds guaranteed cash value that you can use for opportunities, emergencies, or expenses. The real risk isn't paying premiums. The real risk is not valuing your own capital and continuing to let someone else profit from your money. Myth #3: Infinite Banking = Life Insurance This is one of the biggest misconceptions. People hear Infinite Banking and immediately equate it with whole life insurance. But Infinite Banking is bigger. It's about a process—the flow of money, storing it, using it, replenishing it. Life insurance is just the storage tank that makes the process efficient. Confusing the two is like saying “banking equals a vault.” The vault is just the tool. The banking process is much bigger. The Real Risks of Infinite Banking Now let's get into the real question: What are the actual risks of Infinite Banking? Risk #1: Not Understanding the Problem You're Solving
If your messaging isn't making you money, it's not working. Period. This week on The Influence Economy, I'm joined by strategic marketing expert and certified StoryBrand guide Amber Gaige to dissect one of the most overlooked reasons your offers aren't selling, your DMs are dry, and your content is falling flat: your messaging isn't converting. Amber brings 20+ years of hands-on marketing experience (plus a legacy of entrepreneurship) to this tactical conversation where we cut through the fluff and get to the heart of what makes messaging actually sell. If you've been leaning too hard into clever copy, brand jargon, or “cute” positioning—this is your wake-up call. In this episode, you'll learn how to shift from confusing to clear, how to make your messaging hit harder with the exact words your clients are actually using, and how to create content that breaks through 11 million daily messages and still gets noticed. This isn't about branding fluff. This is about revenue-driving clarity, connection, and conversions. Let's fix that. What You'll Learn: The difference between messaging and marketing (and why most get it wrong) The #1 reason your message isn't converting (hint: it's not about you) How to shift from cute to clear without sounding boring The “grunt test” your website must pass in 4 seconds or less A 3-part messaging framework to boost conversions instantly Why every story needs a point (and every point needs a story) The right way to use storytelling that sells (without centering yourself) How to stand out in a noisy market with clarity, not content volume Mentioned Resources: Amber Gaige, Far Beyond Marketing: https://www.farbeyondmarketing.com StoryBrand Framework: https://storybrand.com Your Next Steps: Access the Deal-Attracting Makeover to upgrade your messaging, authority signals, and brand presence so it speaks to the decision-makers who cut the checks. https://dealreadyplatform.com Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/shaynarattlerdavis Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/shaynarattlerdavis

Most coaches and entrepreneurs think pouring more time into their business or relationship is devotion. It's not, it's self abandonment. In this episode, Chad calls out the habits that destroy your standards and strip you of the respect you need to lead: Skipping meals and calling it “productivity” Wearing the grind like a badge while hiding the body it's built you Using your relationship as an excuse to get soft Confusing sacrifice with avoidance You can't scale a business or lead a community while neglecting your own body, health, and identity. That's not leadership it's burnout dressed in hustle culture. This is your wake up call to stop playing small, stop modeling mediocrity, and start building the capacity to lead by example. Because when you raise your standards, everyone around you rises too.

"Good entrepreneurs fall in love with their solution and their platform, but great entrepreneurs fall in love with the problem." - Matt ScovilMatt Scovil and Nathan Gilchrist of Medefy Health, have fallen in love with one of the biggest problems in benefits: nobody wants to engage with them. They joined the show to discuss their journey of building a platform designed to solve the engagement crisis and simplify the healthcare experience for everyone.Matt and Nathan break down their "bottoms-up" approach to this problem, which focuses on engaging members when they need help through a high-touch, live support model delivered via mobile app. We discuss how they use the psychology of "loss aversion" and constant communication to drive engagement rates over 90%.We also explore how Medefy acts as the "quarterback" for a health plan, removing friction by navigating members to the right solutions. This is all part of their vision for the future of healthcare, where the experience is "heavily, heavily individualized" for each person.Chapters:(00:00:00) Why Employees Would Rather Clean a Toilet Than Use Their Benefits (00:04:18) Cleaning a Toilet vs. Learning Your Benefits (00:08:46) Falling in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution (00:14:23) The Power of Live, Human Support (00:19:08) Using "Loss Aversion" to Drive Engagement (00:34:54) The Quarterback for Your Health Plan (00:47:57) How AI is Augmenting the Human Touch (01:00:01) The Future of Healthcare is "Individualized"Key Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/

Just as coronavirus infections are on the rise, federal authorities are throwing confusing recommendations about vaccinations into the mix. Many people are wondering whether they are eligible for a COVID shot, where to get one, and whether it's covered by insurance. The answer, at least partly, depends on whether your state or tribe is filling in gaps opening up following the federal Food and Drug Administration abruptly changing its view of who should get the shot, drawing criticism and even defiance by established medial groups.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a much loved and adored Prime Minister. As a politician who was also a poet and a great orator, he is often seen as a moderate or even liberal leader. But his legacy is more complicated than meets the eye. He often straddled uncomfortably between secular India and its sectarian polity. Today, Vajpayee's biographer Abhishek Choudhary joins us on Puliyabaazi to discuss the many facets of his life and his politics.अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी एक लोकप्रिय राजनेता होने के साथ-साथ एक कवि और बेहतरीन वक्ता भी थे, और उन्हें अक्सर एक उदारवादी प्रधानमंत्री के रूप में देखा जाता है। लेकिन उनकी विरासत जितनी दिखती है, उससे कहीं ज़्यादा जटिल है। वे अक्सर धर्मनिरपेक्ष भारत और उसकी संकीर्ण राजनीति के बीच असहजता से जूझते रहे। आज, पुलियाबाज़ी में हमारे साथ जुड़ रहे हैं वाजपेयी के जीवनीकार अभिषेक चौधरी जिन्होंने उनके जीवन और उनकी राजनीति का बारीकी से अध्यन किया है। तो आइये, आप भी शामिल हो जाइये इस ज़बरदस्त चर्चा में।We discuss:* The Legacy of Vajpayee* Approach for the Biography* Researching for the book* The Confusing 80s* Evolution or Doublespeak?* Prime Ministership* Parallels between Vajpayee and Modi* Policies during Vajpayee years* Personal LifeAlso, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.Related Links:Book1: Vajpayee: The Ascent of the Hindu Right, 1924–1977Book2: Believer's Dilemma: Vajpayee and the Hindu Right's Path to Power, 1977–2018If you have enjoyed this podcast, please help is spread the word.

In this segment, Pat offers both praise and criticism for Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow, who's running in the Democratic Primary for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat in 2026. McMorrow's focusing on the working class issue of affordability, which is smart considering how the Trump Regime is tanking the economy. But McMorrow's not offering real solutions to help make things more affordable. Even more, McMorrow is trying to take a "centrist" position on Gaza, and she won't back universal health care plans to combat our worsening health care system in the country. What and Who is Mallory McMorrow fighting for? 41:49-45:54: MI Fake Electors Escape Justice In the "Last Call," we highlight how a judge dismissed all of the charges against those 15 MAGA Michigan fake elector defendants who tried to help the Trump campaign steal the 2020 election. 45:01-48:05: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Privately Drafted “Outstanding” AIPAC Position Paper, Supporter Claims."

From Engineering to Empathy: Chris Silvestri on Conversion Copy That ConnectsIn this episode, I sit down with Chris Silvestri — founder of Conversion Alchemy, conversion copywriter, and message–market fit specialist — to explore the psychology behind conversion and how B2B SaaS companies can craft customer journeys that actually drive decisions. With a background in industrial automation engineering and a decade in copywriting, Chris blends technical logic with user-centered creativity to produce copy that truly resonates.We cover:Why copywriting is more about research than writing (70% research, 30% execution)The “Motivation → Value → Anxiety → CTA” framework and how it beats rigid formulas like AIDAWhy founders must articulate a strategic narrative before even thinking about copyHow AI (like GPT and Claude) can be used as a research co-pilot without compromising human insightNavigating mega menus, product naming, and UX friction in SaaS websitesHow to craft messaging that speaks directly to your audience's inner monologueWhy B2B sales aren't siloed decisions, but committee-driven choices — and how to write for all stakeholders
"You cannot fully love yourself while quietly betraying yourself." In this episode of Soul Talk I dive into a hard truth that most of us are not ready to hear: not all betrayal comes from others. Some of the deepest wounds and pain you carry, you did to yourself. If you've been feeling stuck, hitting the same wall of self-doubt, fear, or sabotage on repeat, or exhausted from pretending, this episode is for you. You are going to dive into the five ways you may have been unconsciously betraying yourself and you will be offered a powerful formula to help you identify, confront, and heal these self-betrayals. Prepare to align your mind, energy, and actions with your authentic self, reclaim your power, and start living a life of freedom and possibility that you are meant for.

When you substitute understanding with gimmicks, you hamper your score now and in the long term. Tips like “10 questions in 10 minutes” or “If you don't understand an answer, it's probably correct” excuse poor reading and rushed test-taking. When you accept that the LSAT is easy and every question is solvable, you're more likely to commit to a problem until you solve it. No shortcuts needed. Study with our Free planDownload our iOS appWatch Episode 522 on YouTube0:40 – Structuring StudyMila started with a 150 and plans to study two to three hours a day while in school. Ben and Nathan suggest limiting LSAT time to one focused hour and prioritizing perfect grades. After she's secured perfect grades for the semester, she can switch to LSAT prep. Mila and other candidates looking to boost their GPA could also consider enrolling in a few community college courses that offer A+ grades. 5:21 – Undergrad Involvement in Pre-Law ClubsKyle wonders whether joining pre-law clubs is necessary. The guys explain that clubs and extracurriculars are negligible compared to GPA and LSAT. A 4.0 GPA paired with a great LSAT score will always outweigh résumé fluff. Schools may pretend otherwise, but admissions officers prioritize numbers.15:17 – Graduate School ConundrumCarson asks if finishing grad school before law school makes sense. Ben and Nathan point out that lawyers learn what they need on the job—grad degrees won't add value. Universities push unnecessary certificates and programs because they profit from them. Don't pair bad LSAT prep with wasted tuition. Learn freely, but don't pay for credentials you don't need.26:53 – Pearls vs. TurdsDemon team member Beatriz shares a questionable piece of advice that one of her students heard from another prep company: “If you don't understand what the answer is saying, it's probably correct.” Turd. This advice is antithetical to the Demon approach. Wrong answers don't need to make sense, but right answers do. If you understand the passage, you should be able to understand why the right answer is right. The LSAT is easy if you approach it correctly.32:57 – UC Law San Francisco Welcome EmailNate reads a verbose welcome email from his alma mater, UC Law San Francisco (formerly Hastings). It's a wall of text showing what students pay thousands for—law school administrators framing business interests as justice. The email is more about promoting the school's image than welcoming students.39:50 – Choosing the Right Law SchoolSean wants advice on picking the right school. Step one: get your best LSAT. Step two: apply broadly and early. Step three: compare offers. Rule of thumb: rank schools by cost, not prestige. If a more expensive school is ranked higher, double its rank and see whether cheaper options fall within that range. Going cheaper often means graduating at the top of your class, with better job prospects and stronger networks.59:57 – Question TypesMcKenna asks whether she should study question types. The guys explain that focusing on question types is a distraction. Meaning is in the words on the page, not labels. Most struggling students overemphasize question types instead of careful reading. 1:07:53 – Personal Statement Gong ShowCelebrity contestant and Demon teacher Kaley shares a lived-experience essay. 1:19:05 - Word of the Week - InexorableAmong them was a rigid belief in the inexorable power of logic to change the opinions of others.Get caught up with our Word of the Week library.

This week we're introducing Raven to Sydney Sweeney and we learn about the dangers of "slut-shaming"; Bi-Weekly apparently has two different definitions; Americans are drinking at record-low levels, or are they? French streamer Jean Pormanove dies during a nearly 12-day streaming challenge, and the details are insane; Is jacking off in an airplane bathroom illegal? If you missed Raven's documentary screening in Boston, you'll have future opportunities to attend other screenings; We hear stories where fans ask for strange things, and learn that kink-shaming is apparently a bad thing, unless it's Feeney's kink; What are the tag teams Power Company and High Voltage at today? Fanmail, and of course, all the usual perversions.
