This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright explore the concept of “male menopause” and whether it's backed by science. Dr. Cooper breaks down hormonal changes in men, including testosterone decline, metabolic dysfunction, and the myths surrounding andropause. The episode dives into why men and women experience aging differently, how metabolism ties into hormone shifts, and what really happens to male fertility and energy over time. After listening, you'll understand why “male menopause” isn't the full story and what really matters for men's health as they age.Key Takeaways:There's no sudden “male menopause”—testosterone declines gradually in men, unlike the rapid hormonal changes seen in female menopause.Metabolic dysfunction can suppress testosterone in men, leading to fatigue, muscle loss, and changes in body fat distribution.Converting testosterone to estrogen in belly fat can further suppress testosterone, creating a cycle that impacts energy and mood.Testosterone therapy might be beneficial for some men with low levels, but should always be guided by a healthcare provider after thorough evaluation.Most supplements marketed to “boost testosterone” are unproven and potentially unsafe—focus on medical advice and proper testing.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Mark shares his journey with testosterone treatment and how restoring balance improved his mood and energy.Andrea and Dr. Cooper discuss the importance of understanding individual lab results, getting the full metabolic picture, and consulting with primary care providers before considering hormone therapy.Resources:Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away. We are committed to creating a world where people are empowered with accurate information about metabolism and recognize that fat isn't a failure.

What if we could turn the mountains of food waste we generate every day into high-value chemicals that replace fossil fuels and palm oil—two of the most environmentally destructive inputs in our economy? That's exactly what this episode's guest is doing. Marc den Hartog is the CEO of ChainCraft, a Dutch biotechnology company using fermentation to convert agricultural waste into medium-chain fatty acids—essential building blocks for everything from fats for foods to lubricants to bioplastics and fragrances. Founded as a spin-off from Wageningen University, ChainCraft is pioneering open-culture fermentation process that offers a scalable, circular alternative to petroleum-based chemicals. And they're not just operating at the lab bench—in addition to having raised 40 million euros in investment so far, the company already has a pilot facility in Amsterdam producing 2,000 tons of fatty acids per year, with plans for a full-scale industrial plant underway. Marc joined ChainCraft after a distinguished career in the chemical industry, including senior roles at Corbion and other global players. Now, he's applying that experience to scale a cleantech company aiming to rewire one of the dirtiest parts of our supply chains—chemical production—into a model of sustainability. In this conversation, Marc and I talk about how ChainCraft's technology works, why food waste is a goldmine of untapped value and what it will take for his team to go from demo plant to commercial scale. If you care about the future of sustainable industry, the circular economy, or just finding smarter ways to deal with the waste we already produce, you're going to love this episode.
Taxes don't have to be the financial death sentence most people accept them to be. In this episode, we welcome back Neil McSpadden from Tax Sherpa for his second appearance on the show. Neil shares his journey from owing the IRS $1.3 million to becoming a tax strategist who's helped save hundreds of millions in taxes across 50,000+ returns.The conversation covers everything from the latest Trump tax legislation to practical strategies for business owners, plus why being a W-2 employee puts you at the biggest tax disadvantage possible. We dive deep into the "Big Beautiful Bill," estate tax changes that could impact infinite banking practitioners, and the fundamental difference between how employees and business owners are taxed.Whether you're a pure W-2 earner looking for ways to optimize your situation or a business owner wanting to maximize deductions, this episode reveals why having a tax strategy isn't optional—it's essential for keeping more of your hard-earned money out of government hands.The Tax Order of Operations: The fundamental difference between W-2 employees and business owners isn't just about deductions—it's about when you pay taxes. Employees earn money, get taxed on nearly everything, then spend what's left. Business owners earn money, spend on allowable business expenses, then only pay taxes on what remains.Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": Neil breaks down the key provisions of the new tax package, including making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, the "no tax on tips" policy, vehicle interest deductions for American-made cars, and changes to the SALT cap. Understanding these changes is crucial for planning your 2025 tax strategy.Estate Tax Alert for IBC Practitioners: The estate tax exemption could drop from $13.5 million per person to roughly half that amount. For infinite banking practitioners with whole life policies and convertible term coverage, this could mean your policy values might subject your estate to a 40% tax.Why Everyone Needs Business Income: Even if you're primarily a W-2 employee, having some form of business income opens up tax strategies unavailable to pure employees. This doesn't mean quitting your job—just finding ways to generate legitimate business income that shifts expenses from after-tax to before-tax.➡️ Chapters00:00 - Opening thoughts on taxation philosophy01:00 - Neil's backstory: From $1.3M IRS debt to tax expert04:00 - How Tax Sherpa was born during the pandemic08:00 - Why the IRS doesn't actually know what you owe09:00 - Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" breakdown12:00 - No tax on tips: The details matter17:00 - Child tax credits and vehicle deductions22:00 - SALT cap negotiations and high-tax states28:00 - Estate tax sunset: A ticking time bomb33:00 - Generation skipping transfer tax explained37:00 - W-2 vs. business owner tax treatment42:00 - The guiding principle of business deductions47:00 - Case study: Converting 1099 income properly52:00 - Tax Sherpa's client process overview57:00 - Why Neil understands infinite bankingWant to learn smarter ways to reduce your tax burden and keep more of what you earn?Follow Neal on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/neal-mcspadden or book a call at https://taxsherpa.com/book-an-appointment to see how you can optimize your tax strategy!Visit https://remnantfinance.com for more information FOLLOW REMNANT FINANCEYoutube: @RemnantFinance (https://www.youtube.com/@RemnantFinance)Facebook: @remnantfinance (https://www.facebook.com/profile?id=61560694316588)Twitter: @remnantfinance (https://x.com/remnantfinance)TikTok: @RemnantFinance Don't forget to hit LIKE and SUBSCRIBE
Allan Swaringen discusses converting commercial real estate to residential. He says this only happens when these office buildings become “obsolete,” and the Covid-19 pandemic sped up this cycle. “This is kind of a high-risk, high-return venture,” he explains, and goes into detail about what his team looks for before renovating a building. He also talks about types of industrial buildings that are seeing high demand as well.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Did you know that proposals are not the primary tool for selling services? A proposal is meant to seal the deal, not sell it, real selling happens long before the proposal is ever presented. In this episode of the Agency Blueprint podcast, I discuss the science of crafting high-performing proposals and bids. I further break down the critical steps to creating proposals that reinforce trust, articulate value, and ultimately close deals. Don't miss this episode to learn how to avoid overloading proposals with unnecessary details or focusing too much on your agency rather than the client! Key Questions: [01:30] How can you ensure your client has "conceptual buy-in" before presenting a proposal? [03:26] How do you help clients overcome their disbelief or imposter syndrome to see the possibility of achieving their goals?

[02:40] How to structure pre-proposal conversations to address client pain points, goals, and motivations. [03:26] The psychology of sales conversations and how to help clients see a better future by fighting alongside them against their disbelief. [05:02] How to guide your client to navigate the gap between their current situation and their desired outcome. [06:50] How dumping value into a sales conversation—even with a non-qualified lead—can lead to long-term trust and future business. [09:52] The importance of discussing risk factors, likelihood of success, and cost considerations when presenting high-ticket services.

[13:07] The importance of restating the client's background, challenges, and goals to demonstrate that you've truly listened. [14:45] How to create a clear, step-by-step plan that reassures clients of your ability to deliver results. [16:18] How to present costs transparently and confidently after addressing all objections and aligning on the value you'll deliver. [17:37] Avoid common mistakes like overloading your proposal with unnecessary details or making it not about the client.

Can your brand win the digital cart? In today's grocery game, it's not about who owns the shelf, it's about who wins the cart. On this episode of Brand Slam, Ryan Garvey, Senior Director and Head of Midmarket, Growth, and Non-Endemic Sales at Instacart, dives into what it takes to compete in a digital-first world where convenience, personalization and timing rule. The grocery experience has transformed, and with it, the path to purchase. Grocery shopping has gone mobile. Every add-to-cart moment is influenced by ad placements, shopper data and personalized recommendations. For brands, that means the competition is no longer just on the aisle but inside the app. The path to purchase? Rewritten. Every tap of “add to cart” is powered by data, driven by intent and shaped by strategic ad placements. Brands that once battled for endcaps are now fighting for screen space, and Instacart has become the field where that battle plays out. Ryan unpacks how Instacart is helping brands of all sizes break through the noise. It's not just about showing up; it's about showing up with relevance, at the exact moment a shopper is ready to act. Through smarter targeting, better insights and shoppable moments, the app is turning consideration into conversion. Ryan also shares the story behind Instacart's nostalgic Super Bowl campaign, a character-packed, joy-filled spot featuring icons like the Kool-Aid Man, the Jolly Green Giant and the Pillsbury Doughboy. The goal? Spark emotion. Drive recall. Make brands unforgettable. As consumer habits shift and discovery becomes more dynamic, Ryan emphasizes the importance of using first-party data to guide strategy and build lasting relationships. Whether it's a legacy name or a challenger brand, the rules are changing—and the most agile marketers are finding new ways to compete. Interested in a particular topic or want to be a guest?

In this heartfelt episode of Catholic Answers Live, we address one of the most difficult situations a Catholic can face: What if your spouse is resistant—or even hostile—to the idea of conversion?

Catholicanswersradio.com Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 07:17 – How does the soul know whether it’s in heaven, hell or purgatory? 12:49 – How do I bring up the conversation about converting to a spouse who is not friendly to Catholicism? 20:01 – Why don’t we hear about the intercession of the Old Testament saints? 23:34 – Can a person be in good standing with the Church and be an annihilationist? 33:41 – How can I have a more genuine relationship with Jesus? 37:20 – Why are the eastern right patriarchs not named cardinals? 41:34 – Why do Catholics do Eucharistic adoration but other churches like the Orthodox don't? 45:29 – What was the purpose of the dream of Pilot’s wife, Claudia? 51:05 – I don’t think belief in annihilationism jeopardizes being in good standing with the Church. JRR Tolkien would agree with me. Can you clarify your thoughts?
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Peter Kreeft, philosopher, theologian, and one of the most important modern converts to the Catholic faith to unpack his own conversion journey and discuss why it makes good logical, philosophical, biblical, and historical sense to become Catholic. We talk about his journey from Calvinism to Catholicism, the centrality and logical sense of the Eucharist, the Reformation, and much, much more. Including, of course, his objections to Catholicism. This is one of those "Bucket List" conversations for me as someone who encountered Dr. Kreeft early on in my conversion journey and read just about everything he ever wrote. What an amazing conversation. For more from Dr. Kreeft check out his website. His new book, From Calvinist to Catholic, is simply wonderful too.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

#Bitcoin #MagneticField #Plasma #EarthDesasterCyclesBitcoin's Dependency on TechnologyBitcoin's blockchain is only as strong as the infrastructure supporting it. No electricity, no internet, no Bitcoin. In a disaster scenario lasting months or years, your private keys won't feed you or keep you warm. You're right—Bitcoin could become your least concern when survival is at stake.A Window of OpportunityBefore that tipping point, Bitcoin's value could soar. If global instability rises—say, due to early signs of these disaster cycles—demand for decentralized, censorship-resistant money might explode, driving BTC's fiat price or purchasing power through the roof. This is your chance to act. Converting some Bitcoin into tangible survival assets (food, water, shelter, or that bunker you mentioned) could be a smart move, but timing is critical. Cash out too early, and you miss potential gains; too late, and you're stuck with inaccessible wealth.Rethinking Low Time PreferenceBitcoin's ethos of low time preference—delaying gratification for future payoff—works beautifully in a stable world. But if the 2030s bring the first phase of these disaster cycles, that long-term mindset could leave you unprepared. Survival demands a shorter-term focus when the stakes are existential.So, what has BTCsessions missed? His video likely covers essentials like securing your keys, understanding Bitcoin's monetary policy, and avoiding common pitfalls—rules for thriving in a functioning system. But your perspective adds a layer he hasn't touched: Bitcoin's fragility in a post-technological world. Here's what could be added:Rule #10: Recognize Bitcoin's LimitsBitcoin is a tool, not a survival asset. It depends entirely on modern infrastructure—energy, internet, electricity. If you believe disaster cycles are coming, plan beyond Bitcoin. Diversify into physical resources that don't need a plug.Rule #11: Use Bitcoin Strategically Before It's Too LateIf Bitcoin's value spikes as instability grows, use that purchasing power to secure your survival—whether it's a bunker, supplies, or off-grid capabilities. The trick is knowing when to pivot from hodling to acting.@BTCSessions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfrcr...@SpaceWeatherNews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzEs4...Ashton Forbes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YWxw...Share this video with your family & friends!
