When Justice Toal denied Alex Murdaugh a new trial in January 2024, Becky Hill hadn't been convicted of perjury yet. Now she has — and the South Carolina Supreme Court justices made it clear today that fact matters. Criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down today's oral arguments and what the bench's aggressive questioning of the state signals about the likely outcome.Justice Few asked Creighton Waters directly how you can label someone "not completely credible" when her own guilty plea proves she's a liar. Chief Justice Kittredge pointed out that Toal's order never addressed the allegation that Hill told jurors not to be fooled by Murdaugh's testimony. He called the corroboration between juror accounts and independent witnesses "striking." The defense argues the wrong legal standard was applied — and from the bench, it appeared multiple justices agreed.Kittredge also pressed hard on the financial evidence, telling Waters that Rule 404(b) is a rule of exclusion and that the trial court couldn't seem to find a reason to keep anything out. Jim Griffin argued this case has no eyewitnesses, no murder weapons, and no biological transfer evidence. If the financial testimony falls, the state's case gets very thin.Faddis reads the room and explains which of the three possible outcomes — affirm, new trial, or remand — today's hearing most strongly pointed toward.#AlexMurdaugh #BeckyHillPerjury #MurdaughSupremeCourt #JuryTampering #EricFaddis #JusticeKittredge #Rule404b #JimGriffin #HiddenKillersPodcast #MurdaughNewTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today the South Carolina Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Alex Murdaugh's appeal of his double murder conviction — and the justices came loaded. The very first question from Justice George James cut straight to a wound the defense has been pressing for two years: why wasn't the egg juror allowed to testify at the 2024 evidentiary hearing? From there, the hearing split into two phases that each delivered major moments. On the jury tampering issue, Dick Harpootlian argued that Becky Hill — the former Colleton County Clerk of Court now convicted of perjury, obstruction, and misconduct — had a financial motive to push for a guilty verdict. Chief Justice Kittredge told the state that Toal's ruling didn't even address the allegation that Hill told jurors not to be fooled. Justice Few challenged Creighton Waters on the absurdity of calling Hill not completely credible while ignoring her perjury conviction. On the evidentiary side, Jim Griffin argued this was never an overwhelming evidence case — no eyewitnesses, no murder weapons, no biological transfer evidence on Murdaugh. Kittredge hammered Waters on Rule 404(b), saying the gate to financial crimes evidence was left wide open and he couldn't find a single example of anything that was excluded. When Waters tried to reference the movie Fargo, Justice Few told him to get to the point. The court took the case under advisement. No decision today. Three possible outcomes remain: affirm, new trial, or remand. But what unfolded in that courtroom didn't look like a court preparing to uphold the status quo. This episode covers every key exchange and what it means going forward.#MurdaughAppeal #AlexMurdaugh #SouthCarolinaSupremeCourt #BeckyHill #JuryTampering #404b #CreightonWaters #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #OralArgumentsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Genesis 3:1-7; John 8:1-11 Some think that conviction is about sticking to beliefs no matter what. True Christian conviction, however, is understanding the purpose of those beliefs, and weighing with wisdom what is right and what is wrong in any given moment. This week we see when we fail and when we succeed at such conviction when in one instance we eat of the tree, and in one instance we drop our stones and walk away.

The South Carolina Supreme Court hears oral arguments Wednesday on Alex Murdaugh's appeal — and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta says the question nobody wants to ask is whether the state even retries this case if the conviction is reversed. On True Crime Today, Motta walks through the legal reality facing both sides and explains why a retrial may be worse for the prosecution than the appeal.Becky Hill's perjury conviction is in the appellate record. Three jurors corroborated the tampering allegations. The state investigated, interviewed all jurors, and chose not to charge Hill with jury tampering. Motta reads that prosecutorial decision as a signal about how confident the state actually is in this verdict's integrity.The defense argues Justice Toal applied the wrong legal standard — requiring proof a juror changed their vote instead of applying the Remmer presumption of prejudice. Motta explains why appellate courts often treat the wrong standard as reversible error regardless of the strength of the underlying evidence.If reversal happens, the defense has every advantage. The full transcript is their roadmap. They know every witness and every prosecutorial strategy. The prosecution faces potential exclusion of the financial crimes testimony that formed their entire motive theory. Without it, this is a purely circumstantial case with forensic gaps — no DNA, no fingerprints, no blood linking Murdaugh to the killings.Murdaugh is already serving 27 years state and 40 federal for financial crimes. He is not walking out regardless. Motta explains the calculus: does the AG retry a case where the defendant is already locked up for life, a second trial risks new problems, and the original conviction is already stained?#AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #MurdaughRetrial #SouthCarolinaSupremeCourt #DefenseDiaries #KennelVideo #MurdaughCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Court prepares to hear oral arguments Wednesday on Alex Murdaugh's appeal. Motta is walking through the scenario nobody is preparing for — what a retrial actually looks like when the defense has the full transcript, Becky Hill's perjury is in the record, and the prosecution's motive theory may be excluded.Becky Hill was convicted of perjury, obstruction, and misconduct — but the state chose not to charge jury tampering despite three jurors corroborating the allegations. Motta explains what that tells him about the state's confidence in this verdict. The defense argues Toal applied the wrong legal standard at the post-trial hearing, requiring them to prove a juror changed their vote instead of applying the Remmer presumption of prejudice. Motta breaks down whether that distinction alone justifies reversal.If the conviction falls, round two is a completely different fight. The defense knows everything. The prosecution faces potential exclusion of weeks of financial crimes evidence. The forensic case has gaps Harpootlian has loudly highlighted — no DNA, no prints, no blood linking Murdaugh to the killings. The prosecution has Maggie's DNA on a shotgun receiver and the kennel video. Motta explains how both of those pillars get attacked with three years of preparation.And the biggest question: Murdaugh is already serving 27 state and 40 federal. Even a reversal does not mean freedom. Does the AG actually retry this case — or does a second trial risk exposing more problems than the first?#AlexMurdaugh #HiddenKillersLive #BobMotta #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHillPerjury #MurdaughRetrial #SouthCarolina #KennelVideo #DefenseDiaries #LiveTrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alex Murdaugh's appeal reaches the South Carolina Supreme Court February 11, 2026. The case against preserving his conviction just got weaker — because the clerk who oversaw his jury pleaded guilty to lying under oath.Former Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill admitted in December 2025 to perjury, obstruction of justice, and misconduct in office. The perjury charge connects directly to this appeal. At a January 2024 hearing, retired Chief Justice Jean Toal asked Hill whether she allowed media to view sealed exhibits from the trial. Hill denied it. According to prosecutors, she had shown graphic crime scene photos to multiple journalists.Hill was never charged with jury tampering, though three jurors testified she made comments that could have influenced their verdict. But Murdaugh's defense successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to add Hill's conviction to the appellate record. The justices will review the tampering allegations knowing the court official at the center is a convicted perjurer.The state's August 2025 response dismissed Hill's conduct as "foolish and fleeting" and argued the verdict reflected "overwhelming evidence." That response was filed before Hill admitted to lying under oath.Defense attorneys argue Hill's conduct constitutes structural error — that tampering by a state actor is presumptively prejudicial under federal precedent. They also challenge the admission of extensive financial crimes evidence, calling it unfairly prejudicial.The court hears oral arguments but won't rule from the bench. A written decision follows, potentially months later. The justices can affirm, reverse for a new trial, or remand. What they cannot ignore: the person the state trusted to dismiss these concerns is now a convicted liar.#AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #TrueCrimeToday #JuryTampering #SouthCarolina #SupremeCourt #Perjury #TrueCrime #CriminalJusticeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Recording date: 2nd February 2026Olive Resource Capital executives Derek Macpherson and Samuel Pelaez recorded their latest market commentary during a pivotal moment in late January 2026, as precious metals experienced both historic gains and a subsequent correction. Gold surpassed $5,100 while silver exceeded $120 before both metals pulled back, yet still positioned to deliver potentially the best monthly performance on record following 2025's exceptional year.The correction, while notable, was characterised by the executives as a healthy consolidation rather than a reversal of underlying trends. Pelaez emphasised that fundamental drivers supporting precious metals remained intact, including expanding global liquidity at all-time highs and persistent supply constraints. Technical indicators showed overbought conditions with relative strength indices in the 90s range, but the executives noted such conditions can persist for extended periods without signaling imminent reversals.Macpherson's attendance at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference revealed dramatic shifts in market participation. Conference attendance exceeded levels seen in the previous decade, with one small-cap exploration company reporting over 150 investor booth visits. This contrasted sharply with recent years when sparse attendance left companies pitching to neighbouring exhibitors rather than actual investors.Capital markets activity reflected this heightened interest, with private placements routinely exceeding $20-25 million. Institutional investors who participated in mid-2025 financings returned with substantially larger commitments in January 2026, reflecting strong portfolio performance and capital rotation into the mining sector.Despite the rally in metal prices, Pelaez argued that mining equities, particularly developers and explorers, have not yet reflected $5,000 gold in their valuations. Upcoming first-quarter earnings should demonstrate significant margin expansion, as producers benefit from $700 quarterly increases in realised gold prices flowing directly to bottom lines. The executives maintained that mining equities retain appreciation potential even if commodity prices stabilise at current levels, presenting ongoing opportunities for investors willing to navigate near-term volatility while maintaining conviction in the sector's long-term trajectory.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

If you assume everything both sides said in closing is true, the prosecution is in the stronger position, and Brendan Banfield is more likely than not to be found guilty. The reason isn't emotional; I'm basing it on the state's single explanation that accounts for all of the evidence. The defense spent way too much time in my opinion pointing out why individual pieces might be questioned, and while that may slow the jury down, it won't replace the prosecution's theory with a workable alternative. Even taking the defense at its best, the jury is still left with one unavoidable question: if Brendan didn't do this, how did the scene end up the way it did? Scene staging, blood transfers and timing gaps don't explain themselves. Once jurors accept that someone manipulated the crime scene after the killings handled, the focus narrows. This case will be decided on whether the physical and behavioral evidence makes sense. Whether they believe the testimony of the only person in the room with Brendan Banfield that survived and if the jury trusts the forensics.The Brendan Banfield murder trial is now officially in jury watch. Will the 90-minute argument by the defense overpower the 20-minute reminder given by the prosecutor?

Episode 99 Some crimes are impulsive. This one wasn't. In December 1993, six bombs were delivered across upstate New York in less than ninety minutes. Five people were killed. One survived by pure chance. Another device failed to detonate. And one bomb was unknowingly driven around the region in the back of a courier van before police could stop it. The victims weren't politicians. They weren't business rivals. They weren't part of an organized crime war. They were a family. In this episode, we begin breaking down Domestic Detonation—a coordinated bombing campaign driven not by ideology or profit, but by control. According to investigators, the targets shared one connection: they were the support system of a woman trying to leave a volatile relationship. Part 1 focuses on the human story and the investigation: The victims and the nearly identical package bombs How investigators realized these attacks were connected Why one woman was spared while the rest of her family was targeted The early suspects—and why nothing was as simple as it first appeared The unsettling role of loyalty, manipulation, and obsession in escalating violence We'll also introduce the two men at the center of the case—and the red flags investigators couldn't ignore. In Part 2, we'll shift into the forensic evidence: How investigators linked the bombs What the explosive components revealed The confession—and the questions surrounding it How forensic reconstruction unraveled the plot piece by piece Buy Burn Boston Burn by Wayne M.

In the January 2026 episode of 12:01: The Death Penalty in Context, DPI Managing Director Anne Holsinger speaks with Aramis Ayala, Executive Director of Fair and Just Prosecution. Ms. Ayala made history in 2016 as Florida's first Black state attorney and later became the first Black woman in Florida to be nominated for state attorney general by a major party. In the podcast, she discusses her decision to not seek the death penalty, the reaction to her decision, and the evolving role of prosecutors in the capital punishment system.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 30th of January, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in John 16:8-9:”And when He has come (that's the Holy Spirit) He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment of sin, because they do not believe in Me; …“ We want to speak this morning about the Holy Spirit. Oh, I love Him so much and the last thing I want to do is to offend Him because He has done so much for me. He is also the One who convicts me when I step out of line. He is like a proverbial heat-seeking missile. He'll find you out. It doesn't matter where you go. You can go into the deepest mine, He's there. You can go to the top of the highest mountain, yes He's there.He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Now if He's a friend, then He's going to tell you the truth because that's what friends do. So what He's saying to you and me this morning is for example, if you owe money, pay your debt. You say, ”I can't, I don't have the money.” Well, then go and speak to the debtor and explain it to him. Say, ”I'm not leaving the country. I'm not running away. I will pay you as soon as I can. Even if it's just a couple of dollars a month, I will pay you. I'll pay you interest as well.” Then he'll be happy, otherwise, he will throw you into jail.Watch out for familiarity. What does that mean? You have to work in an office with another lady, make sure it stays a business arrangement. Do not become familiar! My son told me a long time ago, he said, ”Dad, an affair doesn't just happen in an instant. No, it takes lots of time. You start to know each other, then you start to have a cup of coffee together, then you take each other home, saving petrol, and then you don't go home for lunch because you can just have lunch at the canteen and then the next thing, you are having an affair and that is tragic.Accountability is so important. What does that mean? I will not go on a campaign overseas or even in the country on my own. Why? Because if I go with someone else, they can always hold me accountable, so it doesn't matter where I go they go with me. Into the restaurant, when we're waiting at the gate to board the aeroplane, at least one man because the devil is a thief and a liar. If you get yourself into a compromised position with another person, there is no-one to stand up for you. It's her word against yours, or it's his word against yours, but if there's two of you the other person can say, ”No, he didn't do anything wrong. That person threw themselves at him.” Beware of a seared conscience that gets you used to breaking the law a little bit, then a little bit more, until you end up in jail. Don't do that. Listen to the Holy Spirit! He will convict you and then you listen to what He is saying.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

How “spaciousness” helps teams move beyond busywork — and build the conditions for honest conversation.“We're just so busy right now” is one of the most common reasons cultures don't change — and it's exactly what Megan Reitz set out to understand. In her research, she describes two modes of attention at work: doing mode, where focus narrows to tasks, control, and quick progress, and spacious mode, where attention expands, insight emerges, and real connection becomes possible.Reitz is a leadership researcher whose work explores how people speak up, listen well, and create environments where others can be heard — because, as she puts it, “how you show up affects the voices of the people around you.” When teams are anxious or rushed, attention tightens and listening gets shallow; when there's more safety and space, people can pause, widen their perspective, and make better choices together.In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Reitz and host Matt Abrahams discuss why organizations get stuck in doing mode and what it takes to build spacious agility. They share practical ways to name spaciousness, strengthen psychological safety, introduce healthy dissonance (even through assigned roles like devil's advocate), and respond in ways that keep people speaking up — not shutting down.Episode Reference Links:Megan ReitzMegan's Book: Speak Out, Listen UpEp.132 Lean Into Failure: How to Make Mistakes That WorkEp.148 Conviction and Compassion: How to Have Hard Conversations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:10) - Doing Mode vs. Spacious Mode (02:13) - Building Agility Between Modes (12:56) - Creating Psychological Safety (19:14) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 2:14. You've probably felt this before—trying to share something God is doing in your life, only to be met with a blank stare. Maybe they look confused. Maybe uninterested. Maybe they just don't feel what you feel. Paul explains exactly why that happens. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. — 1 Corinthians 2:14 This verse is both clarifying and comforting. Clarifying because it explains the disconnect. Comforting because it reminds you the issue isn't you. Paul's point is simple: spiritual truth requires spiritual sight. Without the Spirit, the gospel sounds odd… Grace feels unnecessary… Obedience looks restrictive… Conviction feels offensive… And spiritual wisdom seems foolish. It's not that people are too smart for God. It's that without His Spirit, they simply can't see what you see. You can't expect natural eyes to recognize supernatural truth. And here's the part we often forget: The fact that you "get it" is evidence that God opened your eyes. You didn't figure out the gospel — the Spirit revealed it. You didn't create a hunger for truth — the Spirit stirred it. You didn't suddenly value holiness — the Spirit changed your heart. What feels obvious to you now was once impossible for you to understand. So instead of frustration with those who don't get it, let this verse shape you toward compassion. Toward patience. Toward prayer. Toward hope. God opened your eyes. And He can open theirs. And this truth also builds confidence in your own walk: You're not crazy for believing what you believe. You're awakened. Spiritual things make sense because the Spirit is at work in you. You see what you never used to see. You value what you never used to value. You understand what you never used to understand. That's not foolishness. That's transformation. DO THIS: Think of one person who doesn't "get" your faith. Pray, "Spirit, open their eyes the way You opened mine." Then show them patience today. ASK THIS: Who in your life doesn't understand spiritual things — and needs patience instead of pressure from you? What spiritual truth used to seem foolish before God opened your eyes? How does this verse grow compassion in you? PRAY THIS: Spirit, thank You for opening my eyes. Give me compassion for those who can't yet see what You've shown me. Use my life as a gentle witness today. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"

Jeffrey Deskovic's life changed forever when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit at just 17 years old. He maintained his innocence for the next 16 years and then, with the help of the Innocence Project, the real person responsible was finally caught and Jeff was released from prison. Now you may be asking yourself, 'Hey, how is this a GOOD story?' The answer is found in what Jeff did after this all happened: He went to law school, became an attorney and founded the Deskovic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system. This is one person's journey from the darkest of places to finding and creating his own light and we gotta tell ya, it doesn't get much more inspiring than this.

It's an intense time in our country and the world right now, and caring deeply about what's happening can sometimes pull us into self-righteousness without us realizing it. On this episode, I talk about the difference between self-righteousness and healthy conviction, why self-righteousness is so tempting during challenging times (in the world, at work, and in life), and how we can stay grounded in our values without hardening, disconnecting, or losing our humanity.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky  

Sonny Von Cleveland opens up about serving nearly two decades in prison and the harsh realities of being young, white, and unprepared for prison life. Pulled into violence and survival politics at an early age, Sonny breaks down what it really takes to make it through long prison sentences, the fear, the mistakes, and the lessons learned the hard way behind bars. He speaks candidly about navigating race, identity, and power inside prison, how incarceration forced him to confront his past, and the mindset shift that ultimately saved his life. Today, Sonny has transformed his story into purpose as a speaker, mentor, and community leader, proving that even the darkest chapters don't have to define how the story ends. _____________________________________________ #PrisonSurvival #MichiganPrison #PrisonLife #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #PrisonStories #SurvivingPrison #incarceration _____________________________________________ Connect with Sonny Von Cleveland: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sonnyvonclevelandofficial/ Website: https://www.sonnyvoncleveland.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 First Days in Prison: Shock, Fear, and Survival 02:00 Growing Up in the Midwest Before Prison 06:40 Family Trauma, Abuse, and a Broken Childhood 12:00 Surviving Abuse and Learning to Cope 17:00 Running Away, Street Life, and Early Crime 21:00 The Road to Prison: Charges, Conviction, and Sentencing 24:40 Entering Adult Prison for the First Time 26:00 Prison Violence, Gangs, and Losing Innocence 31:30 Regret, Lost Youth, and Missed Chances 35:40 Solitary Confinement, System Failures, and Mental Survival 41:00 Release, Reoffending, and a Second Prison Sentence 46:00 Life After Release: Family Conflict, Crime, and Betrayal 52:00 Solitary Confinement, Transformation, and Forgiveness 59:00 Self-Reflection, Growth, and Mental Survival in Prison 01:03:00 Teaching Others, Service, and Finding Purpose Behind Bars 01:09:00 Leaving Gang Life and Choosing a Different Path 01:14:00 Reentry After Prison: Starting Over From Nothing 01:19:00 Using His Story to Help Others Avoid Prison 01:22:00 Final Advice, Redemption, and Life's True Purpose Learn more about your ad choices.

Why it's critical to say what needs to be said — and listen when others do the same.Speak out, listen up — these are Megan Reitz's core pillars of workplace communication. According to her, healthy organizations are only possible when everyone can say what they think, and they know they'll be heard.Reitz is an academic and author whose work focuses on creating workplaces where all voices are heard and valued. Her latest book, Speak Out, Listen Up, explores the power dynamics that shape our communication at work and beyond. “Conversational habits define organizational success and our capacity to flourish,” she says. “Ethical conduct depends on what we're able to say and what we aren't, and whether we're heard or not. Innovation depends on our capacity to speak up, challenge, and disrupt, and whether that is heard or not. And of course, our engagement and our ability to perform depends on a feeling that our opinion is valued and that we're respected.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Reitz and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to create workplaces where every voice is heard. From her T.R.U.T.H. framework (trust, risk, understanding, titles, and how-to) to the pitfalls of communicational power dynamics, Reitz's insights reveal why healthy organizations are only possible when we all speak out and listen up.Episode Reference Links:Megan ReitzMegan's Book: Speak Out, Listen UpEp.132 Lean Into Failure: How to Make Mistakes That Work Ep.148 Conviction and Compassion: How to Have Hard Conversations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - The TRUTH Framework (05:32) - Status, Titles, and Voice (09:21) - Power Traps For Leaders (14:06) - Mindful Leadership = Habit Change (18:35) - The Final Three Questions (25:46) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.
