    Networking doesn't have to feel awkward, transactional, or forced. In this episode of The Millionaire Woman Show, Debra Kasowski reframes networking as something far more powerful—building genuine connections within your community. True connection isn't about collecting business cards or pitching yourself. It's about curiosity, presence, and caring about what matters to people. When we shift from asking “What can I get?” to “How can I support?”, we create relationships that lead to meaningful growth—in business, family, and life. In this episode, Debra shares five practical strategies you can implement right away to: Build authentic, trust-based relationships Move from competition to collaboration Create stronger, more connected communities Support others while expanding your own opportunities Because each of us has goals and dreams—and when we support one another, success becomes a shared experience. Success isn't built alone—it's built together, one meaningful connection at a time. www.debrakasowski.com

    Even without Al Pacino's name in its cast list, the new Dead Man's Wire would invite comparisons to Dog Day Afternoon in its dramatization of a real-life 1970s hostage situation turned public spectacle. Whether it benefits from comparisons to Sidney Lumet's 1975 crime classic is another question, one we take up in our discussion of Gus Van Sant's first new feature in eight years. After that, we bring Dog Day Afternoon back in for Connections, to consider how these two films about volatile, narcissistic men and their ostensibly populist schemes fit into the proud tradition of amateur-hour crime movies, and whether a modern film depicting Indianapolis half a century ago has any hope of evoking its setting the way Lumet captured contemporary 1970s New York. Please share your thoughts about Dog Day Afternoon, Dead Man's Wire, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

    The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is once again rebuking childhood vaccine guidance issued by the federal government. On Monday, the AAP published its recommended immunization schedule. It includes vaccines for a number of illnesses that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) dropped in recent weeks — illnesses like hepatitis A and hepatitis B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and more. This is the second time in recent months that pediatricians are taking a stand against the CDC and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy. The group has called the federal recommendations "dangerous." This hour, we talk with local pediatrician Dr. Elizabeth Murray about what the science says and what parents and caregivers need to know. Our guests: Elizabeth Murray, D.O., pediatrician at Golisano Children's Hospital at UR Medicine Geoffrey A. Weinberg, M.D., professor of pediatrics, and clinical director of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Pediatric HIV Program at Golisano Children's Hospital at UR Medicine Connections is supported by listeners like you.

    What if the hours you add aren't the reason your business grows? We make the case that smart relationships beat raw hustle, then map a practical system for turning peers, mentors, creators, and event partners into compounding momentum. Starting with the network you already have, we break down how to lead with listening, spot complementary strengths, and make referrals that build trust on both sides. You will hear why a single podcast appearance can out-convert a dozen cold pitches and how to turn that visibility into warm, ongoing collaboration.We walk through four high-leverage relationship paths—peer networking, mentorship, strategic collaborations, and events—and show how each one brings a different kind of lift. Think coffee chats that create precise introductions, guest swaps that put you in front of a ready audience, and event invites that borrow credibility at scale. Along the way, we share niche examples, like when a therapist serving first responders should refer a police officer to a specialist, and how seemingly different fields can still share an overlapping audience that makes co-creation natural and profitable.To tie it together, we outline the structure of a curated mastermind that blends all four paths. With five to seven members, three meetings each month, two 90-day sprints, and monthly hot seats, you get accountability, targeted feedback, and a cross-pollination of skills—YouTube growth from one member, email monetization from another. The result is a clear path from conversation to outcome: fewer cold pitches, more warm invitations, and clients arriving pre-sold through trusted voices.If this resonates and you are ready to grow through relationships, apply to our mastermind today.

    The director of homeland security said that protestors can't carry firearms — even in states that allow concealed carry. The director of the FBI said that engaging in Second Amendment rights is akin to breaking the law if a public protest is happening. And an administration lawyer said the deadly shooting of a protestor in Minneapolis Saturday morning will be justified because the man had a gun on his person. If the administration does not walk these positions back, it will represent a massive attack on gun rights. The NRA is making that clear. We talk about gun rights and whether this moment is a turning point.

    You've Got God All Wrong: A GodTalk Conversation with Neale Donald Walsch

    In this deeply meaningful episode of Joyful Journey Podcast, I sit down with someone whose work has profoundly shaped my spiritual path — Neale Donald Walsch. Author of Conversations with God and more than 40 books on contemporary spirituality, Neale joins me to explore his newest book, GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connection with a Higher Power. This conversation felt less like an interview and more like a sacred exchange — one that reminded me, again and again, that we are never as alone or disconnected as we sometimes believe.Together, we explore the powerful idea that we are all already in conversation with God — we're simply calling it something else. Neale shares why it was so important to include real-life stories from people around the world in GodTalk, and how divine guidance often shows up in unexpected, even seemingly trivial ways. We dive into his six-step process for experiencing a two-way relationship with the Divine, unpacking themes of possibility, worthiness, willingness, wakefulness, acceptance, and discernment — and how fear versus love is the ultimate compass.This episode is filled with wisdom, humour, and heart. From listening to the “tummy test,” to trusting feelings as the language of the soul, to Neale's unforgettable moment on the Today Show when he distilled God's message to humanity into five words — “You've got me all wrong” — this conversation invites us to soften, open, and listen more deeply. If you've ever wondered whether a personal, direct connection with the Divine is possible for you, this episode is a gentle (and joyful) reminder: the conversation is already happening.About Neale Donald WalschNeale Donald Walsch has written 40 books on contemporary spirituality and its practical application in everyday life, including his new book GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connections with a Higher Power, a book in the Common Sentience book series. Neale is the bestselling author of the Conversations with God series, which seven of the nine books made the New York Times bestseller list. Book One remained on that list for 134 weeks. His titles have been translated into 37 languages and have been read by millions of people around the world. https://nealedonaldwalsch.com Book Links to Buy GodTalkAmazon: https://amzn.to/3O0ud1cBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3KjN9pzAbout Anita AdamsI'm Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Journey, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.

    The prime minister of Norway released a private text sent from President Trump, and it has sparked deep concern. Trump explained that he blamed Norway for stopping him from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and as a result, he was no longer committed expressly to peace. He said he will pursue Greenland however necessary. Meanwhile, NATO allies are sending troops to Greenland, hoping to deter an American invasion. We discuss what this means for American alliances; the view from Russia of these events; and options that lawmakers have to stop further escalation.
