Money conversations in therapy are often avoided, but why are we so comfortable discussing trauma, sex, and family dynamics while tiptoeing around finances? In today's episode, I tackle the elephant in the therapy room: should you ask your clients how much money they make?I've been there too - feeling weird about bringing up finances with clients. But I realized this avoidance wasn't serving them or me. Money shapes our clients' reality and our work sustainability. I'm sharing my favorite approaches to introduce money conversations in therapy that build rapport rather than damage it. Plus, we explore how to normalize money talk from intake forms to ongoing sessions, and why understanding your clients' financial circumstances is crucial for effective sliding scale implementation.If you've ever felt uncomfortable discussing fees or noticed resentment creeping into your therapeutic relationships, this episode will give you straightforward guidance on creating financial transparency that benefits everyone involved. Let's get honest about money in therapy!Topics covered on Money Conversations in Therapy:The importance of having clear criteria for sliding scale fees to avoid resentment and confusion.Real-life examples for you to introduce money conversations in therapy.The benefits of exploring clients' family history with money.Counter-transference that may arise when having money conversations in therapy.How to prioritize your own financial needs without feeling guilty.Resources from this episode:The Fee Formula: https://www.thebadtherapist.coach/feeformulaLiberated Business: https://www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachFacebook group: Healing MoneyRelated episodes you might enjoy:Breaking Taboos: How to Talk About Money with Your Therapy Clients [Episode 47]Quote:"It's super weird that we talk to our clients about all sorts of very intimate topics, and then we get so weird around money." - Felicia

According to a recently published study by Bayer Consumer Health, being poor makes it more likely that you will suffer from self-treatable health conditions. But it also means you will find it harder to take advantage of self-care solutions. In this episode of the Over the Counter podcast, HBW Insight speaks to Bayer Consumer Health's global medical access lead Emese Csoke about the issues that the study raises for the self-care industry, not least how widening access to self-care solutions can be balanced with equity with regards to affordability. For Csoke, ways forward include partnerships between public and private sector stakeholders and investments in digital self-care. Timestamps 2:00 – Introductions 2:50 – Bayer Consumer Health's RISE initiative 4:00 – Self-care is hardest for those who need it most 5:45 – Implications for the consumer health industry 8:20 – Self-care's “double burden” 10:15 – Profit vs people? 16:30 – Public-private partnerships 19:00 – Digital self-care 22:40 – Impact of RISE so far Guest Bio Emese Csoke is currently serving as global strategy director for regulatory, medical, safety, quality, and compliance at Bayer Consumer Health. In this role, she plays a pivotal part in advancing health equity by designing and implementing strategic initiatives that expand access to self-care. Emese led the creation of the strategic pillar RISE – the Research Initiative for Self-care Equity – and authored a peer-reviewed publication on the impact of socioeconomic determinants on health outcomes for self-care conditions. As a lead on Bayer's “dynamic shared ownership” model, Csoke is also driving force behind organizational transformation and innovation. Csoke holds a PharmD and a degree in Clinical Development Science from Semmelweis University and is certified as a medical science translator.

NB Somebody on social media is impersonating me again, sliding in to DMs, soliciting investment. Please ignore, block, report etc. Here they are on Substack.Right, here we go.Dear Chancellor Reeves“Revenue cannot be derived unless the land is productive.”— Ali ibn Abi Talib, the fourth caliphI hope you have a moment to consider what I have to say.My name is Dominic Frisby. Among other things, I am the author of a well-received book on the history of taxation, Daylight Robbery: How Tax Shaped Our Past and Will Change Our Future.I am writing to you about Stamp Duty — a tax that is causing stagnation, where you need growth.At present, if I wish to buy a house, I must first sell other assets to fund the purchase. This incurs capital gains tax. Then, on buying the property, I face another sizeable tax in the form of Stamp Duty. So I am taxed twice on the same money.The alternative is simply to stay put and do nothing, thereby paying no tax at all. Unsurprisingly, this is what most people do, which is why turnover in the housing market is so poor.How much economic activity is lost, when I stay put?* The stocks and shares I might have sold miss out on the fresh investment they would otherwise receive from their new buyer — investment so vital for businesses to grow.* All the economic activity that follows a house purchase vanishes: estate agents, conveyancing solicitors, surveyors, removals companies, builders, decorators, materials suppliers, architects, furniture shops, DIY stores.* I do not take out a new mortgage or insurance policy, nor hire tradesmen to upgrade kitchens, bathrooms or gardens, nor set up new utilities, broadband contracts or local services.* I do not trigger a purchase chain, meaning the person I would have bought from does not buy somewhere else, and all the activity that would create is lost too.* Nor do I relocate for work, missing new job opportunities, so the economy loses the productivity boost of people moving closer to better jobs.When I stay put, there is no revenue at all for the Exchequer — neither from Stamp Duty, nor from VAT on all these goods and services, nor from increased corporation tax on profits, nor from higher Income Tax on increased earnings, nor from the local spending that supports countless jobs and wages. Instead, there is stagnation where there could have been growth.Stamp Duty, largely a creation of the Tories, has immobilised the country.Britain desperately needs growth. Growth requires turnover. The best way to encourage turnover is to remove barriers to trade. Taxes — whether tariffs or duties, whatever form they take — are the biggest barriers of all.When Rishi Sunak temporarily reduced Stamp Duty during Covid, we saw exactly this effect: turnover increased, economic activity surged. Revenue to the Exchequer followed.A permanent removal of Stamp Duty would trigger a powerful boost not just to the property market but to the entire economy, meaning the government, too, would have more money to spend on whatever it sees fit. There is so much pent up demand, the resulting economic growth might even be enough to save this government at the next election.What's more, the Tories imposed these duties, so it is an opportunity to score some points against their failure.It would, quite literally, get Britain moving again.Counter-intuitive as it may seem, the golden rule of taxation is that lower taxes and fewer taxes lead to higher revenues. History shows this time and again.In the words of John F KennedyIt is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.I hope you will give this serious thought.With kind regards,Yours sincerely,Dominic FrisbyPS If you enjoyed this letter, please like, share and all that stuff.

President Donald Trump submitted a nomination Tuesday for Ryan Cote to serve as assistant secretary of information and technology and CIO of the Department of Veterans Affairs. If confirmed by Senate vote, it would be Cote's second run as a CIO under Trump. He served in the IT chief role at the Department of Transportation during the first Trump administration. Cote started his career as a U.S. Marine but went on to hold jobs in technology at firms like HP, Northrop Grumman, Gartner and IBM, before he entered federal service in 2019 at Transportation. Since leaving government at the end of Trump's first term, Cote has served as a board adviser for a company called Nubeva and as a so-called “private” global CIO, according to his LinkedIn profile. The VA has been without a Senate-confirmed CIO since the Trump administration took office. Kurt DelBene held the role during the previous administration. Eddie Pool, the agency's deputy CIO for connectivity and collaboration services, has been serving as the acting CIO. The Department of Defense is standing up a joint interagency task force to tackle drone threats, according to a senior officer. “We recently did a session with the secretary of defense and we are going to stand up a joint interagency task force” focused on thwarting drones, Gen. James Mingus, vice chief of staff of the Army, said during an event Wednesday co-hosted by AUSA and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS), as it is known in DOD parlance, is a key challenge for the military. Commercial technology has evolved in recent years such that drones on the civilian market are extremely cheap to buy and simple to operate. It has also become less challenging to 3D print parts and devices that can fly. This has made it significantly easier for nation-states and terrorist groups to procure these types of systems and strap bombs to them, allowing adversaries to level the playing field against higher-tech combatants such as the U.S. military.

Welcome to episode 207 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we continue in our series on Christian citizenship.  Today, we tackle the topic of cultural engagement.  Key takeaways:  As followers of Christ, we're called to a distinctive way of life that sometimes aligns with and sometimes challenges the prevailing culture.   Three principles for cultural engagement: Christians should be distinctively Christian. Christians must be engaged. Christians should be thoughtful about our influence. Three models of cultural engagement: Critical consumption - examine cultural content thoughtfully.  Common grace collaboration - God's common grace enables non-believers to create good things, discover truth, and promote justice. Counter-cultural community -  some aspects of our faith and practice will inevitably stand in contrast to the surrounding culture.  Quotable:  Compromise for the sake of relevance ultimately leads to irrelevance.   Application:  A balanced approach to cultural engagement requires wisdom and discernment. It means constantly asking questions like:  What aspects of this cultural element reflect God's truth, goodness, and beauty?  What aspects distort or contradict God's design?  How can I appreciate the good while respectfully challenging the problematic?  How can my engagement bear witness to a more excellent way?  Cultivate deep biblical knowledge. The better we understand Scripture, the more clearly we can discern what in culture aligns with or contradicts God's design. Practice intentional cultural awareness. Pay attention to the messages in the media you consume, the assumptions in the education system, and the values celebrated in entertainment. Build relationships with non-believers. Find like-minded community. Cultural engagement is challenging to sustain alone. Recognize that our ultimate goal isn't just cultural analysis or even cultural transformation, but pointing to Christ through our engagement.  Connect with us:  Web site:  https://springbaptist.org  Facebook:    https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)  https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)  Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/    If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.

Episode Summary: The inner critic can be a constant and discouraging presence, stealing our joy and hindering us from walking in the confidence God intends for us. It often disguises itself as self-improvement or humility, but in reality, it holds us back from embracing our identity in Christ. In today’s episode, we’ll uncover the sources of this voice, explore how Scripture equips us to combat it, and learn practical, biblically-based strategies to replace self-condemnation with God’s truth. Quotables from the episode: The inner critic is that internal voice that condemns, shames, or reminds us of our shortcomings. It whispers lies like, “You’re not good enough,” “You’ll never succeed,” or “Who do you think you are?” Often, this voice feels louder in moments of vulnerability, failure, or self-doubt. Scripture reminds us that Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10). His goal is to steal, kill, and destroy our confidence and joy (John 10:10). He plants seeds of doubt and discouragement, hoping we’ll lose sight of God’s truth about our identity. The enemy’s accusations often feel like they’re coming from within, making it harder to recognize their origin. Our sinful nature and brokenness often give rise to self-condemnation. Past experiences, such as critical words from others, failures, or unmet expectations, can leave scars that fuel the inner critic. We may strive for perfection, believing the lie that we’re only worthy if we meet certain standards. This striving often leads to exhaustion and deeper feelings of inadequacy. The world bombards us with messages that we must perform, achieve, or conform to be loved or valuable. Social media, advertisements, and cultural expectations paint a picture of perfection that is impossible to attain. When we fall short, the inner critic seizes the opportunity to amplify our insecurities and remind us of our perceived failures. For some, the inner critic’s voice mimics the critical or harsh words spoken by authority figures in their lives, such as parents, teachers, or peers. Over time, these external voices become internalized, shaping how we see ourselves and respond to challenges. Even well-meaning criticism can leave an imprint if it’s not tempered with grace and encouragement. The inner critic is not God’s voice. In fact, His voice always aligns with truth, hope, and encouragement. It’s important to identify and challenge thoughts that contradict God’s truth. Taking every thought captive means actively rejecting lies and replacing them with God’s promises. God’s voice always aligns with His character—He speaks love, encouragement, and restoration. While the inner critic seeks to tear us down, God’s Word builds us up and reminds us of our identity in Christ. By meditating on Scripture, we can discern the difference between the voice of the inner critic and the voice of our loving Father. His truth gives us the strength to silence the lies and walk confidently in His grace. God’s voice brings peace, conviction (not condemnation), and hope. He calls us to see ourselves as He does—fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Become aware of when the inner critic is speaking. Pause and ask, “Is this thought true, or is it a lie?” If it doesn’t align with Scripture, it’s not from God. Journaling your thoughts can help you identify patterns of self-criticism and pinpoint recurring lies that need to be addressed. Counter every negative thought with God’s Word. For example, if the thought says, “I’m a failure,” remind yourself of Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Create a list of Bible verses that speak to your identity in Christ, and keep them handy for moments of doubt. A grateful heart leaves little room for self-criticism. Start each day by thanking God for His blessings and affirming the ways He’s working in your life. When you focus on God’s goodness, it shifts your perspective and quiets the critical voice. Surround yourself with people who speak life and encouragement. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Healthy, godly relationships provide support, accountability, and reminders of your worth in Christ. Be intentional about building connections with those who uplift you. Ask God to help you distinguish His voice from the lies of the enemy. James 1:5 assures us that He gives wisdom generously to those who ask. Pray for clarity and ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and words. Instead of agreeing with the critic, declare the truth of who you are in Christ. Say things like, “I am chosen,” “I am loved,” and “I am forgiven.” Speaking these affirmations aloud helps to reinforce them in your mind and heart. Whether it’s critical people, social media, or unhelpful comparisons, protect your mind by setting healthy boundaries. Consider a social media detox or limiting time spent with individuals who are overly critical or draining. Silencing your inner critic is not a one-time fix; it’s a daily practice of renewing your mind and grounding yourself in God’s truth. Remember, the voice of the inner critic is a liar. God’s voice is the only one that matters, and His voice speaks love, grace, and purpose over you. Scripture References: Romans 8:1, which declares, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:10 reminds us, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” James 3:9-10 “With the tongue, we praise our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness... My brothers and sisters, this should not be.” Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

Morgan Lee, PhD, MPH, CPH, and Scott Halperin, PharmD, from the Pharmaceutical Strategies Group, joined Over the Counter to discuss key takeaways in their organization's 2025 Trends in Drug Benefit Design Report.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores the idea that our emotions are not just reactions to what happens around us, but are conscious and intentional choices we have control over. If we don't consciously choose how to feel, we leave it to chance and find ourselves at the whim of spiralling emotions. Cindy proposes steering away from fear as our default and instead setting intentions for our emotions to learn how to anticipate best-case scenarios instead of worst-case ones. Instead of our emotions being at the mercy of our surroundings, we can instruct ourselves on how to feel. We believe that choosing how we feel means ignoring real problems and pretending everything is fine. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Cindy is clear that choosing our emotions is not about fake positivity or just gritting our teeth through the bad times, it's about claiming ownership over our internal experience. So, how do we do that? By intentionally choosing what we want to feel and setting an emotional anchor for whatever situation arises. Cindy shares four practical strategies to help us take control of our emotions: 1) Start each day by consciously choosing how we want to feel, 2) Reframe fear and criticism immediately, 3) Counter every worst-case scenario with a best-case, and 4) Use intentional compartmentalization. By deciding how we'll feel, we learn to avoid our brain's default setting of predicting danger. Choosing how to feel is a power move, not wishful thinking. Cindy's advice gives us the groundwork we need to start taking control of our emotions.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Not Leaving It To ChanceAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Text Me Your QuestionsIn this episode of Dog Training Today, certified canine behaviorist Will Bangura, M.S., CAB-ICB, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, FFCP, tackles one of the most common—and consequential—mistakes pet parents make when attempting behavior modification: working with their dog above threshold. Whether you're addressing fear-based reactivity, anxiety around people or dogs, or noise sensitivities like fireworks and thunderstorms, the success of counter conditioning and desensitization hinges on one critical factor—your dog must be emotionally below threshold.Will breaks down exactly what "threshold" means in practical, observable terms, and why too many pet parents unknowingly push their dogs into mild, moderate, or even severe stress while trying to change emotional responses. This episode serves as a reality check and a science-based guide to getting it right.You'll learn:Why starting too close to a visual or auditory trigger can completely derail counter conditioning effortsThe difference between being "physically calm" and "emotionally below threshold"How to recognize subtle, hard-to-read canine body language signals that indicate discomfort or stress—well before overt reactivity surfacesHow to establish safe training distances that allow for true learning and emotional reappraisal to occurWhy early intervention and incremental exposure are essential, especially with noise-based phobias like fireworksPractical 4th of July safety tips for keeping your dog secure, calm, and protected before, during, and after fireworks beginWhen to consult with your veterinarian about the use of anti-anxiety medications or natural calming aids to support behavioral progressWill also explores the neurobiology of fear and stress responses in dogs, offering a clear explanation of how amygdala-driven reactivity undermines learning when a dog is flooded, and why the emotional safety zone is where meaningful behavior change takes place.Whether you're a pet parent working through fear-based issues or a professional looking to sharpen your desensitization protocols, this episode offers grounded, science-backed advice you can put into practice immediately.

With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   In This Episode: Running a retail business isn't just about WHAT you sell—it's about WHO you bringing together in your retail store.  In this heartwarming and wisdom-filled episode, Cadence Kidwell of Fuzzy Goat (a yarn store in Thomasville, Georgia) shares how she's built a thriving business rooted in connection, creativity, and community support. Whether you're a seasoned retailer or just starting out, Cadence's story will inspire you to think big, act bravely, and build something meaningful.

We are selling connection and whimsy.” - Cadence Kidwell About Cadence and Fuzzy Goat Prior to opening Fuzzy Goat, Cadence Kidwell obtained a PhD in Creative Writing and designed a certificate program for students to develop cultural competencies while working at Florida State University.

Tornado Watches, Snakes, and the Holy SpiritTornado Watch Context: Hosts record during a tornado watch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, joking about their indifference to watches (less severe than warnings) and the confusing terminology.David humorously claims to become a "seasoned meteorologist" each spring, sensing storms "in his bones" and using terms like "hook echo".Brief tangent on Ralph Nader, who ran for president (circa 2000, Bush vs. Gore) and claimed never to have eaten McDonald's, deemed unbelievable at the time due to McDonald's ubiquity and lack of stigma.Main DiscussionMinihan Household AdventuresPossum Incident: While Adam was away, his wife Haylee killed a possum in their chicken coop with a .44 Magnum (jokingly exaggerated), impressing Adam via text.Snake in the House: Upon returning from a trip, Adam's family found a large snake (not a rat snake, possibly a king snake) in their home.A child's blood-curdling scream alerted Haylee; Adam initially deferred to her but helped after learning of the snake.Snake was fast, striking, and required corralling kids into a closet for safety; Adam trapped it using a box and cardboard, later regretting not feeding it to their seven roosters.Diocesan Rat Snake Story: Adam recalls handling a 5+ foot rat snake at the Diocese of Tulsa early in his job, earning awe from coworkers and a social media post.Nashville Recording MishapsForgotten Suit Pants: At a black-tie event in Nashville with Fr. Mike Schmitz, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Harrison Butker, David forgot his patterned suit pants, non-replaceable due to the unique design.Father-in-law Dan O'Brien and Jim Spencer overnighted them via UPS, arriving 45 minutes before recording.Equipment Failure: Their recording case's main power supply cord was severed in transit, requiring significant pivoting.David predicted the need to “pivot” before the trip, likening their adaptability to NBA players; the weekend involved constant problem-solving but was ultimately fun.Catholic Radio Station LaunchMcAlester Station: David and Adam helped launch 90.9 FM in McAlester, Oklahoma, a full-power Catholic radio station built on a shoestring budget.Located on parish grounds (no studio costs, using existing internet/power), it reaches McAlester's community, including three correctional facilities (e.g., “Big Mac” maximum security prison).Launched on the Feast of the Ascension (moved to Sunday in Tulsa's mission diocese), aligning with the Great Commission to evangelize.Aims to evangelize incarcerated individuals without the red tape of prison ministry; David gave a speech post-Mass, nearly upstaged by Adam's readiness to intervene.Prayer request for the station's success.Eucharistic Procession in TulsaNational Eucharistic Procession Stop: Tulsa hosted a stop in the nationwide procession, attended by 500–800 people (David's estimate).Counter-evangelists (not protesters) with megaphones followed the procession, slandering the Church; persistent but civil, they lacked goodwill due to rudeness.Police (not necessarily Catholic) found them annoying; hosts advise listeners to prepare for similar disruptions at other stops.Defense of Faith Question: David ponders if modern Christians are too pacifist compared to Crusade-era defense of faith, citing G.K. Chesterton's The Ball and the Cross (an atheist's slander of Mary prompts a Catholic to challenge him to a duel).Asks Adam if the pendulum has swung too far from defending honor; discussion deferred to post-break.Break 1:...

Faith, Family Law, and Finding Peace: Understanding Catholic AnnulmentsIn this enlightening episode, divorce attorney Seth Nelson and Pete Wright welcome Father David Mowry, a Roman Catholic priest and assistant professor at the University of St. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, Illinois. With the recent election of Pope Leo XIV (the first American-born Pope), the conversation explores the intersection of Catholic faith and family law, specifically focusing on the church's approach to marriage, divorce, and annulments.Seth and Pete dive deep into the Catholic Church's perspective on marriage as both a sacred covenant and a legal institution. Father Mowry explains how annulments differ fundamentally from civil divorces, detailing the extensive process and support systems the Church has in place. The discussion reveals how the Church's approach to failed marriages isn't about finding loopholes, but rather about determining whether a true marriage existed in the first place according to Catholic teaching.Questions we answer in this episode:How does a Catholic annulment differ from a civil divorce?What happens if one spouse refuses to participate in the annulment process?How does the Church support children whose parents are going through divorce?Key Takeaways:The Catholic Church views marriage as a permanent covenant—annulments determine if a valid marriage ever existedAnnulment processes include extensive pastoral and legal support systemsLocal priests serve as initial guides but specialized Church courts handle the formal proceedingsThis episode offers invaluable insights for anyone navigating the complex intersection of faith and divorce. Whether you're Catholic or simply interested in understanding different approaches to marriage dissolution, Father Mowry's explanation of the Church's compassionate yet structured approach to failed marriages provides a fascinating perspective on healing and moving forward.Links & NotesLearn more about Father David Mowry on his websiteSchedule a consult with SethGot a question you want to ask on the show?

In this episode, we explore the deep and disruptive belief that every person bears the image of God — the Imago Dei. We reflect on how this conviction, rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus and nurtured within the Anabaptist tradition, calls us to a radically different way of seeing and relating to others. In a world that often categorizes, dehumanizes, and divides, we ask: what kind of community becomes possible when we begin by recognizing the divine in every face? And how might that recognition reshape the way we live, lead, and belong — together? Many of us are living with a deep dissatisfaction — with organized religion as it's been, with society as it is, and with the pace and patterns of life that leave us fragmented and exhausted. Counter Presence: Dissatisfaction Rooted in Hope is a series of conversations born from that unrest, and from a longing to live more grounded, more human, and more faithful lives. Rooted in the conviction that the Anabaptist tradition offers a wealth of wisdom for these times, we take the time to explore what it means to cultivate a countercultural presence — one that is shaped by the life and teachings of Jesus, and formed through community, simplicity, mutuality, and hope. Not as an escape, but as a faithful way of being in the world, together. Intro/Outro music by Skinfiltr8r.

The European Commission has put forward a series of proposals designed to simplify European Union sustainability rules and boost the region's competitiveness. As a result, application dates for EU due diligence and sustainability reporting requirements have been delayed by two years. Other proposals such as reducing the frequency of reporting and narrowing the scope of supply chains are still subject to trilogue negotiation. In the first of two Over the Counter episodes, CEN Group director Jasper Crone returns to the podcast to explain what might change, where he thinks this is all coming from and why companies should consider getting ready for new sustainability reporting rules even if they are no longer directly affected. Timestamps: 2:00 – Introductions 4:30 – EU sustainability reporting regulation recap 7:20 – Omnibus simplification package 12:00 – Simplification, or confusion? 19:00 – Where's this all coming from? 23:30 – Why sustainability reporting is still good for business 25:40 – What's all this got to do with competitiveness?

Joseph Sherman, formerly a bodyguard for Sean "Diddy" Combs, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Thalia Graves and her attorney, Gloria Allred. This legal action follows Graves' allegations that, in 2001, both Combs and Sherman drugged, bound, and raped her at a Bad Boy Entertainment recording studio, recording the assault and distributing it as pornography.In his lawsuit, Sherman asserts that he ceased working for Combs in 1999 and has never met Graves, labeling her claims as "utterly and entirely false." He contends that Graves contacted him in November 2023, seeking his cooperation as a witness against Combs in exchange for excluding him from legal proceedings. Sherman includes alleged messages from Graves in his lawsuit to support this claim.Sherman argues that the accusations have caused significant harm to his reputation and livelihood. His lawsuit includes counts of defamation, emotional distress, negligence, and abuse of process against Graves, Allred, and other associated parties.This countersuit emerges amid a series of legal challenges facing Combs, who was arrested in September 2024 on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. Graves' lawsuit is among nearly 30 filed against Combs and his associates, with Sherman's countersuit being the first from a defendant in these cases.(commercial at 7:28)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy's ex-bodyguard sues rape accuser for defamation

“Can Democrats Learn to Dream Big Again?,” wonders Samuel Moyn in the New York Times. “The Democrats Are Finally Landing on a New Buzzword. It's Actually Compelling,” argues Slate staff writer Henry Grabar. “Do Democrats Need to Learn How to Build?,” asks Benjamin Wallace-Wells in The New Yorker.  For the past few months, news and editorial rooms have been abuzz with talk about a new, grand vision for the Democratic Party: abundance. Abundance, according to its media promoters—chiefly NYT's Ezra Klein and The Atlantic's Derek Thompson—is a political agenda that espouses the creation of more of everything we need: housing, education, jobs, and energy, to name a few examples. To accomplish this, we are told, we must aim to eliminate bureaucratic red tape that has for so long bogged down production, innovation, and capital's innate capacity and desire to provide a better, more abundant life. It's an alluring promise—if suspiciously vague and devoid of class politics: obviously, doing more good things is better than doing fewer good things, right? Who can argue with this generic premise? Who wouldn't want to support an agenda that's effectively the Do Good Things Agenda? Scratch the surface, however, and what one finds it isn't just a folky, common sense treatise against red tape, but something more sinister and dishonest, something more slick and shallow. What one gets is a standard entryist strategy that begins with a so-vague-it's-incontestable hook—illogical or corrupt regulations are bad—the quickly pivots into a Silicon Valley flattering, and often Silicon Valley funded, political agenda, a narrative designed to blame inequality and our objectively broken political system on too much regulation and “bureaucracy” rather than there being too much power in the hands of an elite few. What one gets, in other words, is a counter to left populism. What one gets is the latest attempt to reheat neoliberalism as something fresh, innovative and able to excite the voting base. Last week, in Part I of a two-part series we're calling “The Empire Strikes First,” we discussed the Democrats' post-2024 apologia, propped up by scapegoats ranging from trans people to “economic headwinds” to Harris actually being too far left. On this episode, Part II of the series, we explore what comes next: the 2028 Democratic strategy and the so-called abundance agenda that is increasingly shaping it. We'll examine how Democratic media influencers and policymakers use lofty, seemingly progressive rhetoric to rehabilitate and re-sell the same old neoliberal deregulation, privatization, and austerity narrative that got us here in the first place, and ensure that no left-wing movement—that could, god forbid, require a meaningful change in the party—get in their way. Our guests are the Revolving Door Project's Kenny Stancil and Henry Burke.

The entire facade crumbles when we learn to ask the right questions. Peace is not currently on the menu. The influencer flotilla is psyop operation. And, that's not Greta. Greece is helping the second flotilla. There will be diplomatic repercussions. Testing the waters in Gaza. The Israeli civilian victims. The UN says they committed crimes. Ukraine is on fire too. Programs cannot replicate programs. Evil counterfeits are not inventions. You are dangerous because you are uncontrolled. Elon is the lightning rod. Trump has done so much at great cost. Now that they're adrift, let's cut them loose. Remember to say what hasn't been said. What if Isreal was the most evil? The CCP runs the UN now. Turkey will be coming in hard. Counter-intel Islamafobia. Red string connections show unconscious links. They are pushing the collective to the breaking point. Stress pressure is a very cruel teacher. Evil is our creation, and we must judge it's fruits. It teaches us to see in the dark, and builds scaffolding for the truth. Did she say reherseauthority? Moving with the crowd does not mean safety. Beneath the showy performance is the truth. Those who do not choose must only adapt. Remember, when the programming wears off, love is the best operating code.
