Ben Baird reveals US government agencies, under both Obama and Biden administrations, continuously funded extremist Muslim groups. Despite warnings and previous Trump administration cuts, over $25 million in grants went to organizations with alleged ties to terrorism, antisemitism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas. This included partnering with groups like CAIR, which also provided firearms training to radical mosques, raising serious questions about oversight and vetting standards for federal funds.

Have you ever experienced a conversation like this with someone?* “I want wild adventure, but I must feel safe at all times.” * “I want to quit my job, but I can't give up the nice lifestyle I enjoy.”* “I crave more freedom, but I dread losing security.”* “I hate working for someone else, but I'm too afraid to work for myself.”* “I want a better life, but I can't change anything.” If it were easy to have it all, you would already have it. Right? Why would you deny yourself a dream life if it were easy to create? Why would you punish yourself unnecessarily? Why would you suffer? The reason you're feeling stuck is that it is not easy! It's damn hard to build a life that gives you what you want in balance with what you need. The hard pill to swallow is: Something has to give. You must give up something to gain something. I've learned that 99% of the time when people say, “I can't!” what they really mean is “I won't.” They could make the necessary changes if they really wanted to, but they don't. The pain of remaining the same is slightly less than their fear of change and the unknown. When I left my corporate career behind in 2010, I spent the next five years trying to have it all. I wanted the freedom of escaping my old 9-to-5 job (more like 7 AM to Midnight). I wanted the stress relief of leaving behind toxic bosses. I wanted the joy of owning my time every day. I wanted the pleasure of reclaiming my health and rediscovering fitness. However, I also wanted to maintain my expensive home, fancy car, and luxurious lifestyle. I tried really hard for those years, but eventually, the harsh reality came crashing down: I just could not have it all. So, we discussed a new plan. We decided what we would have to give up to create the new life we desired. * We had to downsize our home. * We had to leave Silicon Valley. * We had to sell the luxury car. * We had to live more simply. * We had to make changes.I won't tell you it was easy. That's kind of the point of this episode. It was hard, but it was worth it. Within a few years, we knew it was the right decision. What we had gained was worth far more than what we had “lost.” Maybe others are telling you that you can “have it all.” I've seen plenty of BS posts online about that. But let me be the honest person who will give it to you straight: Make some hard choices. Create a spreadsheet with two columns: A. Gain and B. Give up. Decide what you want most in your life and put those items in the Gain column. Choose what you are willing to leave behind and sacrifice so you can have what's in the Gain column. Put the items you will give up in column B. Now, create a plan and a schedule to build a roadmap to give up more of column B to have more of column A. This process can take years, by the way. Go slow if you want, but don't wait long. By the way, column B is a trap. It's a noose that tightens more with every new thing you add to it. It's a golden cage that you may never escape if you keep adding more bars. The longer your Column B list gets, the harder it will be to escape later. Column A is a delight. The longer you delay gaining the items on that list, the less time you will have to enjoy them. Sadly, most people wait until retirement to pursue that list. So, they don't enjoy that lifestyle for as long as they could have. Even worse, some of those items have an expiration date. You will be too old to pursue them anymore, or the opportunity has passed. It's too late. Want to make this process easier? Here are a few things that can help (I explain them in more detail in the podcast audio, so scroll up and hit play to listen):* Create wiggle room in your professional career. * Become a lifelong learner to avoid stagnation and avoid being left behind. * Develop flexible streams of income outside your primary job. * Build revenue models that aren't locked into specific locations. * Do not increase the cost of your lifestyle as your income increases. * Aggressively manage your expenses to see if you can reduce them. * Continuously feed funds into your financial cushion for some breathing room. * Get outside your bubble to expand and diversify your network. * Open your mind to unexpected opportunities and new ways of living. * Invest in your physical, emotional, and mental health. * Calculate more realistic risk assessments of what you want to pursue. * Build backup plans for the worst-case scenarios. * Realize that intelligent and ambitious people can bounce back from failure. I recently met with Cory Vinny on my Invincible Life podcast. He shared how he prepared for a life of adventure, and what he had to sacrifice to pursue it. Listen and note the tradeoffs they had to make so they could spend the next year sailing around the world. What do you have in your Gain column? What do you want more of in your life? What is in your Give Up column? What are you willing to sacrifice to acquire more of the things you want to gain?I'd love to hear about it, so leave a comment below!I'm Larry Cornett, an executive coach who works with ambitious professionals to help them reclaim their power, become more invincible, and create better opportunities for their work and lives. Do more of what you love and less of what you hate!

Venkat Atluri, McKinsey senior partner and coauthor of The Ecosystem Economy: How to Lead in the New Age of Sectors Without Borders, explains how value creation is shifting from stand-alone enterprises to coordinated networks of collaborators. Drawing on two decades advising leaders in technology, media, and telecom, he outlines what makes ecosystem businesses distinct from traditional conglomerates—and the governance required to make them work at scale.   Atluri emphasizes that ecosystems aren't about diversification for its own sake, but about following a customer-led thread: “Start with the customer and then follow the thread—what other problems does that customer have that you can solve together with partners?”   Key Insights from the Conversation Beyond Suppliers: Many firms mistake a supplier list or procurement process for an ecosystem. Atluri is clear: “A supplier list is not an ecosystem. An ecosystem is about mutual value creation and sharing in the upside.” Role Clarity Matters: Some firms will anchor the platform, continuously raising the bar for developers and users. Others will participate as contributors, protecting privacy, quality, and customer experience. Scale only comes when “responsibilities, incentives, and accountability” are explicit. Discipline in Operating Models: He advises executives to integrate ecosystem thinking into strategy, but then run deeper, dedicated workstreams to define roles, economics, and governance. Competition Is Ecosystem vs. Ecosystem: Scenario planning must account for new types of disruptors and ask, “What would an ecosystem leader do here?” Over time, Atluri expects the economy to consolidate into a few macro-ecosystems with multiple micro-ecosystems nested beneath them. History as a Control: Symbian and BlackBerry illustrate that large user bases are not moats. “Unless you keep raising the bar on your proposition, you lose.” Customer Experience Sets the Standard: Consumer expectations now apply in B2B as well: “If something doesn't work out of the box, that tells you the company is focused on itself, not the customer.”

If you have followed recent activations and the meditations on my channel I have focused on a new and powerful concept that transcends quantum jumping. We are learning to access our future self from another timeline and accessing their intelligence as they essentially become a walk in and create a total identity shift. I have to report the most profound results of any technique ever as I have explored this with my clients. Many of you have tried this activaiton or meditation. You've experienced the identity shift. The future self walk-in has occurred. But now you're discovering that with great power comes great responsibility to learn how to use it. If this is your first time with me, Iwork with the concept that your future self—the version of you living your optimal timeline—can merge with your current identity through advanced consciousness techniques. This is the next evolution of human potential. The emergence of abilities that were always latent within the structure of consciousness itself. Your future self didn't just merge with you and disappear like some cosmic one-night stand. They're still there. Present. Active. Continuously guiding you through frequencies, sensations, and quantum information streams that your consciousness receives every moment of every day. Most people who experience transformation—whether through meditation, plant medicine, near-death experiences, or consciousness work—report the same phenomenon. They return to their ordinary life with expanded awareness, but they struggle to integrate that expansion into practical decision-making. They have access to higher wisdom, but they don't know how to consistently tap into it when they need it most. Without proper navigation, you become like someone with a smartphone who only uses it to make phone calls. You have access to infinite information, but you're only using a fraction of the available functions. Today we're upgrading your internal GPS. We're teaching you to receive, interpret, and act on the constant guidance flowing from your optimal timeline. You're going to learn to read the quantum information streams that your future self broadcasts every second of every day. By the end of this session, you'll have a functioning navigation system that turns decision-making from guesswork into precision. You'll stop wondering whether you're making the right choice and start knowing it with unshakeable certainty. This is your user manual for operating at your highest potential. 

Bonus episode! Today's full meditation guides you with deeper insight and a full guided meditation. Treat yourself to meditating a little longer today as you open your heart center to feel what genuinely resonates as true and aligned for you. This meditation helps you distinguish between external pressures and your deepest, most authentic desires, fostering clarity and inner harmony. Welcome to "Truth's Embrace: Finding Peace in Reality's Flow," a journey designed to anchor you in the authentic calm of the present moment.

John 6:56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. Foundational to living to love with Jesus is abiding in Jesus. For God to receive glory from our lives, our love must flow from Jesus, the Vine. As branches, fruit-bearing occurs as we abide in the vine. In this verse, Jesus told the crowd how they may receive the bread of life, not die, and live forever. The one who eats His flesh and drinks His blood abides, which is a continual action, in Jesus and Jesus abides in him. The Father gave this bread of life for His glory. He gets all the praise and honor from our lives as we abide in Jesus, filling ourselves with the life of Christ. The love that flows from Jesus in us is the fruit that glorifies the Father. This gives us great encouragement to know that we are pleasing to the Father and fulfilling our purpose in Christ. What a great honor it is to be branches of the Vine, displaying the fruit that brings joy to both the Father and the Son, and also to us. This occurs as we continuously abide in Jesus and He in us, as we continuously eat of Him. May we be filled with the joy of the Lord as we live to love with Jesus today. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of "giving it forward," so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

Today Eric emphasizes the ongoing nature of mastery in various aspects of life, from professional skills like sales to personal hobbies and relationships. He highlights that consistent practice and sustained effort are crucial for developing expertise, drawing parallels to athletic training and musical instrument proficiency. He and his coaching call group discuss how facing challenges, embracing vulnerability, and learning from peers accelerate growth, even when progress isn't linear. Eric advocates for a mindset of continuous improvement and active engagement to achieve and maintain mastery, underscoring that stagnation leads to a decline in skill. Key Takeaways: • Consistent effort and dedicated time are essential for achieving mastery. • Embrace repetition and continuous practice to develop and maintain skills. • Seek out and lean into challenging situations as opportunities for significant growth. • Continuously learn and adapt, understanding that growth may involve plateaus as well as surges. • Train with peers, share vulnerabilities, and embrace constructive criticism to accelerate your learning and mastery.   Resources: Contractor Sales Secrets: ContractorSalesSecrets.com Fitz Fish Ponds: Koi Trips Book A Call With Triplett: Call with Triplett The Pond Digger: https://theponddigger.com/ Atlantic-Oase: https://www.atlantic-oase.com/ Helix Pond Filtration: http://helixpondfiltration.com/ TWT Contractor Circle (Facebook Group): TWT Contractor Circle TWT Contractor Power Circle (Facebook Group): TWT Contractor Power Circle The Pond Digger Instagram: Instagram The Pond Digger Facebook: Facebook Train With Triplett TikTok: TikTok EasyPro Pond Products: https://easypro.com/  Pond Trade Magazine: https://www.pondtrademag.com/ MDM Pumps: https://mdminc.com/sequence/  2025 LCR Summit - Oct. 20-21 Louisville, KY: https://www.lcrmedianetwork.com/  PNW Custom: https://www.pnw-custom.com/

Her passion for serving the public began early in life, sparked while attending local public schools and actively participating in student governments. In particular, her experience in a high-school teen court program made an indelible impression — and led to a lifelong interest in public affairs and government. Not long after, she landed an internship with the City of Port St. Lucie's Community Relations Department, where she attained invaluable skills and knowledge into local government. She has stayed involved in the City of Port St. Lucie ever since those early experiences. This involvement has given her inestimable insight into local government operations and helped her develop an appreciation for the work of the City Council. Her eagerness to be in the know and make positive changes influenced her to volunteer in various political causes and campaigns while pursuing higher education at Indian River State College. Continuously engaged in the community, Caraballo also is an active member of the St. Lucie County Transportation Planning Organization and the Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities. She was the former Director of the PSL Historical Society and has served on the Keep PSL Beautiful committee. Caraballo is also the immediate past president of the Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities. In 2021, she became Vice Mayor and in 2022, she was sworn in as President of the Florida League of Cities, which promotes cities and local self-governance throughout the State. Since becoming President, Caraballo has focused on her initiative of #CommonGrounds, which urges local and state leaders to put people over politics, access over agendas and success over shouting, while strengthening our communities over the common grounds that unite us. She has been married to her husband, Ben, for 22 years. They have two children, Antonio and Anaiah. As a family, the Caraballo's enjoy the staples of PSL — spending their free time visiting local attractions such as the Botanical Gardens, the St. Lucie River, events at the Civic Center and watching the Mets play ball.   About Your Host, Jim Hunt: Welcome to the “Building Amazing Cities and Towns Podcast” … The podcast for Mayors, Council Members, Managers, Staff and anyone who is interested in building an Amazing City.   Your host is Jim Hunt, the author of “Bottom Line Green, How American Cities are Saving the Planet and Money Too” and his latest book, “The Amazing City - 7 Steps to Creating an Amazing City”   Jim is also the former President of the National League of Cities, 27 year Mayor, Council Member and 2006 Municipal Leader of the Year by American City and County Magazine.   Today, Jim speaks to 1000's of local government officials each year in the US and abroad.   Jim also consults with businesses that are bringing technology and innovation to local government.   Amazing City Resources:   Buy Jim's Popular Books: ·       The Entrepreneurial City: Building Smarter Governments through Entrepreneurial Thinking:   https://www.amazingcities.org/copy-of-the-amazing-city   ·       The Amazing City: 7 Steps to Creating an Amazing City:   https://www.amazingcities.org/product-page/the-amazing-city-7-steps-to-creating-an-amazing-city   ·       Bottom Line Green: How America's Cities and Saving the Planet (And Money Too)  https://www.amazingcities.org/product-page/bottom-line-green-how-america-s-cities-are-saving-the-planet-and-money-too   FREE White Paper: ·       “10 Steps to Revitalize Your Downtown”  www.AmazingCities.org/10-Steps   Hire Jim to Speak at Your Next Event: ·       Tell us about your event and see if dates are available at www.AmazingCities.org/Speaking   Hire Jim to Consult with Your City or Town: ·       Discover more details at https://www.amazingcities.org/consulting   Discuss Your Business Opportunity/Product to Help Amazing Cities: ·       Complete the form at https://www.amazingcities.org/business-development   A Special Thanks to Bearing Advisors for the support of this podcast:  www.BearingAdvisors.Net

“ It's a core tenant of who we are, and it's called put people first. We take care of our people.” Derek De Salvia, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Hilton Grand Vacations, joins Dan today to dive into the world of vacation ownership. The discussion covers the personal and professional aspects of hospitality, the evolution and benefits of the vacation ownership model, and how Hilton Grand Vacations differentiates itself in the industry, especially as one of Newsweek's Top Most Loved Workplaces. Derek shares insights into customer education, the impact of multi-generational ownership, the importance of team member engagement, and the adaptability of vacation ownership through economic cycles and evolving customer needs. The episode concludes with advice for potential customers and an invitation to experience Hilton Grand Vacations firsthand.Takeaways: Train your team to understand the difference between basic service and true hospitality. Aim for over-delivery on guest expectations.Highlight the importance of creating lasting memories for families, which can be a significant selling point for returning customers and multi-generational travel.Ensure guests are well-informed about how to maximize their memberships or stays through tutorials, seminars, and resources available on member pages.Foster a culture of hospitality among team members. When employees feel valued and cared for, they are more likely to pass on that sentiment to guests.Consider the long-term benefits and memories that owning a timeshare can create for your family across generations, rather than just focusing on the upfront costs and annual fees.Continuously gather and act on feedback from guest surveys and team member inputs to refine services and address any issues promptly.Quote of the Show:“We couldn't talk about hospitality and what that means to people if we didn't share that love and warmth of hospitality to our team members.” - Derek De SalviaLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-desalvia-m-s-5a2b5521/ Website: https://www.hiltongrandvacations.com/ Shout Outs:0:59 - Newsweek https://www.newsweek.com/ 3:32 - Hilton https://www.hilton.com/en/ 7:59 - Danny Meyer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Meyer 18:21 - Great Wolf Lodge https://www.greatwolf.com/ 18:25 - Blue Green Vacations https://www.bluegreenvacations.com/ 18:27 - Bass Pro https://www.basspro.com/home

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I'm diving into why we shouldn't be "parrots" – just mindlessly repeating the things we're told, the words we read, or what we hear in our environment - without thinking for ourselves. Drawing from some personal stories about actual parrots and my experiences working with author Marianne Williamson, I share how important it is to develop your own unique voice and point-of-view.I discuss how we often unconsciously repeat sayings and stories from our childhood, family of origin, or the media, without ever even questioning them.Whether it's religious dogma, political views, or random so called "facts" we've heard online, I invite people to do their homework, to dig deeper, to spend some time with yourself, and figure out what you truly think, feel, and believe.The world doesn't need another “carbon copy” of what's already out there - it needs YOU! Your unique experiences, insights, and one-of-a-kind perspectives are invaluable.So, I encourage us all to be curious, ask questions, challenge inherited narratives, and have the courage to speak our authentic truth, even if it means standing out from the familiar crowd.My hope is to inspire you to be the first ever version of yourself, not a watered-down replica of somebody else.Whether you're dealing with old family stories, professional expectations, or societal pressures, remember: your individual voice matters.So, let's stop parroting and start exploring what YOU really think and feel!KK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:•​ Don't mindlessly repeat beliefs without understanding their true origin.•​ Question everything you've been taught, especially childhood-inherited narratives.•​ Your unique perspective is valuable.•​ Research deeply and gather your own empirical evidence.•​ The world needs your authentic voice, not some watered-down version of somebody else.•​ Be courageous enough to develop and share your original thoughts.•​ Verify sources and information before repeating what you've read or heard.•​ Your individual experiences create a perspective that no one else has.•​ Continuously learn, grow, and refine your understanding of the greater world.• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

In this episode, Dave breaks down his personal strategy and process for launching new products on Amazon, detailing a four-stage approach that spans from the first few weeks after launch to ongoing strategies for maintaining sales and optimizing listings. We talk about why its important to have a pricing strategy and an ACOS goal, to have only exact match turned on, and to have reviews as soon as possible.    Struggling with tariffs? Unsure about upcoming changes? Let's talk! With Portless, you only pay tariffs after your customers pay you – so your cash always moves faster than your costs. Schedule a risk assessment and leverage tariff deferment today. All new customers get $1,000 to reinvest in their business.   Launching a product isn't as crazy as it used to be.    Back in the 2010s, you could put up anything on Amazon and it would do huge numbers.    But today, its a different story.    You have to have enough reviews for your product and a low price to stand out from the competition at the minimum.    How do you get this all done? More importantly, what else can I do to guarantee success?    Here's the ultimate 3 month launch plan that we incorporate in our businesses for each new product we launch.    Takeaways In the first few weeks of launch, price your product 40% lower to attract buyers. Focus on exact targeting for PPC in early stages. Send your products into Amazon Vine to get reviews early. Gradually increase prices; Amazon hates when you increase prices abruptly. Utilize promotions based on how competitive your product category is. Auto campaigns help identify effective keywords that you can eventually add to your manual keywords. Aim for 30+ reviews for basic social proof. Incorporate top keywords into product imagery. If you get a lot of bad reviews, consider relaunching your product. Continuously improve your product based on customer feedback.

(plus get a special bonus).CLICK HERE NOW: https://robmoore.directbullion.com Rob reveals his formula for early retirement based on his own experience of retiring three times! Rob shares his ICE investment framework, debunks common retirement myths and explains why a million pounds isn't enough anymore. KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting your retirement number is essential. Calculate how much annual income you want, double it for tax, then determine what capital sum would generate this. But remember, inflation will erode this over time. The best investment strategy combines income, capital and equity (ICE). Property and well run businesses offer all three elements, while other investments like gold or Bitcoin usually provide only one or two. Keep your largest expenses (housing, transportation, travel) as low as possible for as long as possible while investing heavily, rather than obsessing over small daily purchases. Continuously reinvesting profits rather than drawing income dramatically speeds up compounding, your capital pot grows faster, generating more income over time, protecting your wealth from both market volatility and your own spending habits. The fastest way to reach your retirement number is through business ownership which has the highest risk but greatest control. Property provides the most reliable passive income once you retire (combining income, capital appreciation, and equity potential). BEST MOMENTS "I retired at 29, not even a week, went on a week's holiday. My business partner was like, the world is fucked. Get back. I was bored anyway on the ski holiday." "You don't save for retirement. You plan for retirement. The only source of income from the government is taxation and you are the source of taxation, the only source of money from the banks, the savers, and the depositors, which is you." "You can never save your way to wealth. Savers are losers. Savings are degrading. The only way you can ever get rich is investing, either investing your time into your own company or investing your money into assets." "Warren Buffet says, well, everyone doesn't like it when their stock goes down. I love it when my stock goes down 'cause I just buy more." "Most people, when they're doing really well, they just spend it and waste it. But you wanna be planning for the rainy days, the lower days." "To get to your retirement age or number quicker, it's a business. But to retire, it's a property portfolio."
