Podcasts about Counterfeit

Welcome to a solo soapbox moment that's long overdue. Today, we pull back the curtain on the supplement industry—how it works, where it fails, and what you can do to protect your health (and wallet). With up to 60% of Amazon supplements failing label accuracy tests, we explore the darker side of mass-market wellness: review hijacking, counterfeit listings, and contaminated formulas hiding in plain sight.But this isn't just fear-mongering. It's about empowerment. I share simple, actionable steps to source better products, use independent testing tools, and navigate the system with clarity—not paranoia. You'll also hear why no supplement can fix a body that's out of balance, how genetic variations impact efficacy, and why foundational health still matters more than any magic pill.HIGHLIGHTS[00:35] - The dark truth about supplements on Amazon[01:22] - Counterfeit capsules and rice flour fraud: real examples from Now Foods and Host Defense[02:59] - How Amazon's platform rewards reviews, not quality[04:45] - New Amazon guidelines in 2024—and why they still fall short[05:22] - The five smart rules for safer supplement shopping[07:08] - Why functional foundations matter more than supplement stacks[08:45] - The power (and danger) of methylated B vitamins in sensitive genotypes[09:44] - Why coaches and concierge wellness programs are worth the investment[10:08] - A future with QR code lab reports, blockchain, and transparency[10:58] - Final thoughts: stop chasing overnight delivery, start chasing real changeLinks & ResourcesJoin Our Waitlist - https://www.beautifullybroken.world/waitlist CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@BeautifullyBrokenWorld)

Matthew and Anthony have another powerful episode from their time at NRB in February! This week, they're excited to have Sloan Adams from Turning Point USA on the podcast. They delve into the power of prayer as more than a religious exercise, but a partnership with God, aligning our hearts with His will for our nation and our world. Our nation was founded on a covenant with God, not on the lies of systemic evil. This decline is rooted in a lukewarm church, a lack of engagement, and a loss of intimacy with God. Prayer is not a monologue but a conversation, a way to know God's heart and to pray in agreement with Jesus, our intercessor.

Our guest on this week's episode is Jimmy Roussel, CEO of IDScan.net. Among the problems that supply chains have had to deal with lately is an increasing rise of identity fraud at warehouses and fulfillment centers nationwide. Counterfeit identification is often used by those committing the fraud to get inside the warehouse gate.  Thefts of entire trucks often follow. Our guest discusses the scope of the problem, how it happens, and ways to counteract fraud and theft.Winners of the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award were announced this past week. The IFOY recognizes the most innovative  technologies of 2025. This year's technology competition included 49 products on the initial application list, 21 of which made it final round. The entries were then subjected to strict engineering testing and evaluation to determine winners. We reveal who won and the innovative technologies that were honored.There have been conflicting reports lately about the health of the warehouse automation market, but there is good news for those making and selling  collaborative robots—those are bots that work alongside humans, often referred to as “cobots.” The market for that technology is set to rebound this year following a trough in 2024, according to the latest market outlook report from research firm Interact Analysis.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Suppy Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

While control feels like safety, it ultimately keeps us stuck and anxious. She explains why we have this addiction to control and how true safety comes from connection to ourselves, others, and a higher power. Shifting from control to connection can help us find real peace and calm.In this episode, you'll learn:What it means to move from striving to groundednessThe role of our nervous system in recognizing safety and dangerPractical ways to shift from a controlling mindset to one rooted in connection and groundednessThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(00:43) The illusion of control(02:37) Personal story and divine inspiration(04:59) Understanding the counterfeit of control(06:18) The role of fear and the nervous system(11:12) Impact of control on relationships and business(18:29) True safety through connection(26:06) Practical steps to grounding and connectionConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

Episode Title: Market Resilience, Counterfeit Realities, and the Future of Authentication with Perry Nguyen of Check Check Show Notes: In this episode, I'm joined by Perry Nguyen with Check Check, a cutting-edge digital authentication platform reshaping the luxury resale landscape. Our conversation explores the parallels between nature's most resilient species and the dynamic, ever-evolving global marketplace, particularly the explosive growth of luxury resale and the counterfeit economy. Perry shares how Check Check leverages a global team of expert authenticators to verify high-value goods, including sneakers, designer items, and collectibles. With the rise of “super fakes” and consumer trust hanging in the balance, Perry explains why real-time, mobile-first authentication is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. We dig into Perry's fascinating career journey—from scaling a cannabis startup from zero to $11M in sales, to lobbying Congress (cowboy hat and all) in support of a groundbreaking antifungal vaccine for animals. His background in the music industry also adds a creative twist to his leadership style, which I found incredibly relatable. Perry also opens up about joining Check Check just 12 months ago and partnering with co-founders Arnold Luck and Eddie Abramov to scale their sneaker authentication platform into a robust enterprise solution. With over 3.3 million app downloads and 2.2 million items authenticated, they're redefining trust in the secondary market. We wrap the conversation with a look at global expansion—including a powerful new partnership with India's Culture Kicks—and discuss how APIs and mobile tech are driving the next phase of authentication for streetwear and luxury resale. I even encouraged my brother to download the app—because if you're going to invest in high-value items, you need to make sure they're the real deal. And yes, I even share a story about tracking down an elusive 90s rock vocalist named Kurt, plus what my cousin's DIY guitar pedal business taught me about creative frustration, innovation, and self-determination in leadership.

Counterfeit products are no longer just fake handbags and watches—today they include brake pads, skincare, prescription drugs, and even aircraft parts. In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw talks with Roei Ganzarski, CEO of Alitheon, about how technology—including generative AI—is empowering fraudsters and putting lives at risk. From sophisticated e-commerce scams to counterfeit pharmaceuticals and fake aviation parts, this discussion uncovers the shocking scale of the problem ($3 trillion annually!) and what consumers, companies, and regulators can do to fight back. :mag: Topics covered: · How AI and 3D scanning help counterfeiters replicate products · Why stickers, QR codes, and holograms no longer work · The dangers of counterfeit medicine and auto parts · How fake products infiltrate supply chains—even for major airlines and hospitals · Why buying skincare or medicine from unauthorized sellers is so risky · What new technologies can verify authenticity without relying on labels :pushpin: Don't miss this eye-opening interview and learn how to protect yourself, your company, and your family from increasingly undetectable fakes.

Counterfeit Kingdom: Decoding the Symbols of Saturn and Divine Designs In this thought-provoking episode of Right On Radio, host Jeff invites listeners on a journey to explore the dimensions of spiritual and worldly realms through captivating discussions and insightful videos. Jeff tackles the profound question of how far heaven truly is, introducing listeners to two intriguing videos that promise to reveal hidden truths. The first segment delves deep into the occult symbolism surrounding Saturn, a planet often associated with various esoteric beliefs. From the black cube of Saturn and the six-pointed stars to the eerie parallels between the Saturnian rituals and modern corporate logos, the episode sheds light on how ancient connections play a significant role in today's world. The video further examines the planet's ties to the biblical Satan and its imagery related to control and negativity. Transitioning into the spiritual realm, the episode shifts focus to the celestial vision of New Jerusalem as described in the Bible. Jeff dissects the scriptures to elucidate how the dimensions of New Jerusalem might suggest a divine connection between heaven and earth, disrupting the counterfeit narratives perpetuated throughout history. Speculations on the firmament, heaven's tangible proximity, and Jesus as the ultimate bridge between the realms leave listeners contemplating their spiritual beliefs and the world's hidden truths. This episode challenges listeners to reflect on the counterfeiting of spiritual truths by worldly powers and encourages active engagement in recognizing the divine designs in life's complexities.

I used to believe in chakras, energy healing, and the kundalini awakening. I thought I was unlocking my true self. But what I didn't realize is that the chakra system is a strategic counterfeit. It's a demonic blueprint built on top of the real spiritual design GOD actually created. So, in this live, I'm breaking down the truth about chakras, kundalini, spiritual body gates, and how Satan twists God's blueprint to gain illegal access to your life. We'll expose the deception, unpack the biblical alternative, and walk through what true deliverance looks like - gate by gate. Whether you're a Christian curious about spiritual warfare, or someone wrapped up in this stuff wondering if your chakra activations are actually harmless... this is for you!       -       Follow me on Instagram: @AngelamarieScafidi       -       Ways to Support the Show:

This episode is deeply personal to me. Not only as a therapist and podcast host—but as a mom to a 19-year-old son and a 17-year-old daughter.I'm acutely aware that most young people—and many parents—don't realize the deadly risks of purchasing medication online without a prescription. Counterfeit pills are now deliberately designed to look exactly like legitimate prescription opioids. But what's inside is far more dangerous than most people know.This week on the Cracking Open podcast, I have the immense honor of speaking with Ed and Mary Ternan, founders of the nonprofit Song for Charlie.After losing their son Charlie to a counterfeit Percocet pill laced with illicit fentanyl, Ed and Mary transformed unimaginable grief into purposeful action. Instead of only placing blame on social media platforms where these pills are sold, they chose to lead with education and empathy—working to save other families from the same heartbreak.✨ Their mission is clear: to warn young people—especially those ages 13–24—about the danger of fake pills purchased online. ✨ Their message is urgent: even one pill can be fatal. ✨ Their approach is powerful: reaching youth with messaging that actually resonates with their generation.In this conversation, Ed and Mary bravely share the story of losing their beloved Charlie and the ripple effects that tragedy had on their family, their faith, and their purpose.Through Song for Charlie, they've become fierce advocates for awareness, prevention, and healing. And through their love for Charlie—and for every child who may still be saved—they are making a difference.This is a story of heartbreak.But it's also a story of hope.

Christ the Mystery, Satan the Counterfeit: The Unveiling of Eternal RealitiesThis message explores the two great mysteries in Scripture—Christ and Satan—framed through the lens of eternal purpose and spiritual identity. The message dives into the uniqueness of Christ as the fullness of God in bodily form and contrasts it with the fall and fate of Lucifer. The group emphasizes personal intimacy with Christ, the inevitability of every knee bowing to Him, and the importance of knowing one's true identity in the mystery of divine love. Listeners are invited to embrace the power of God's grace, resist deception, and participate in the beautiful unity orchestrated by Christ Himself.Themes:Christ: the eternal mystery of God and man (Col. 2:2–3)Satan: the counterfeit mystery revealed in Ezekiel 28Universal bowing before Christ (Phil. 2:9–11; Rev. 19:7–9)Angelic creation and Lucifer's fall from grace“Prisoners of hope” under Christ, the Conductor (Zech. 9:12)Mystery of Christ revealed to apostles and prophets (Eph. 3:1–6)Divine love as the transforming power in the believer's lifeIdentity: believers as God's temple, not restrained by unbelieversJustification, reconciliation, and freedom from guiltWorship as personal, intimate, and shut-in to ChristPersonal spiritual revelation and individualized divine encountersGrowth in unity, resisting the devil by relying on Christ's powerScripture References: Colossians 2:2–3; Ezekiel 28:15–19; Philippians 2:9–11; Revelation 19:7–9; Ephesians 3:1–6, 3:19; Zechariah 9:12; 2 Corinthians 6:1; John 1:1; Revelation 21:3; Job 42; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5; Romans 8:37–39

Main Point. The God we forget is also the God who faithfully delivers us. Driving Question. What happens when God is forgotten? (3 lessons from this text): Drifting from Truth – (vv. 6–10). Devotion to Counterfeits – (vv. 11–15). Delivered by God – (vv. 16–19). 1. Drifting from Truth (6–10) "All it takes is one generation to forget the gospel, and we are always one generation away from losing it". D.A. Carson Apply: Love God and prioritize Christ and the Gospel. Be diligent to teach your children the goodness and glory of God. 2. Devotion to Counterfeits (11–15) What do you trust in and treasure more than God? 3. Delivered by God (16–19) Interpretive key for the book of Judges: Idolatry Judgment and bondage to a foreign enemy Cries out to the Lord Salvation: through a Judge (12 judges in the book) Judge dies, people return to idolatry God's evaluation (20–3:6) Application. Sometimes God doesn't remove trials immediately, because they reveal what we really love. Takeaways. Pluralism is a great evil in God's sight. God disciplines his people who compromise. Build your family on the word of God and the One who saves.

Send us a textHave you ever felt like you're sitting on an emotional trash can, afraid that lifting the lid will make everything spill out? We've both been there. In this episode, we talk about how we've tried to hold it all together—telling ourselves to “move on” or “just get over it”—because that's what we heard from others and from our own inner critic. But we've found that real healing doesn't come from avoidance. It comes when we let God into the mess, one honest moment at a time.We share personal stories—like digging through old journals and clothes tied to body image struggles—and how counterfeit comforts only gave temporary relief. The real shift started when we stopped numbing the pain and started facing it with God. Psalm 23 reminds us He walks with us through the darkest valleys, not around them. This isn't about having it all figured out—it's about trusting the One who holds us even in our weakness. We hope you'll join us in exploring what it means to find lasting comfort, not in escape, but in Christ.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Inevitably, open eyes always seem to turn upward. Our faith and our refusal to bow are weapons forged in darkness. The American air industry is now in chaos. Combine airlines, aviation, national security, and the heavy infiltration of Chinese risk. Maintenance scares and hub battles. Where are the reasonable fares? The US Govt buys tickets in bulk? Huh? Looks like money laundering. Eliminate brokers for a start. Operating on a debt based closed structure. Amy Klobuchar is up to her neck in all of this. Firmware is very hard to inspect. Counterfeit avionics is a real threat. When pilots can't override the AI. Let's build a national aircraft security program. All domestic flights need more scrutiny. Chip technology has risks too. China (Taiwan) produces 90% of high level chips. Yes to mandatory source audits. Flight ready seals and instant response protocols. Software components are hackable. Compromised chips are everywhere. All airlines are leased. Even the F35 has Chinese components. We need a Federal National Airline Program. Why not lease at cost and back it with the Defense Dept? Lower costs, safer skies. Restore jobs plus national security. We should no longer out source the wings we fly on. Not when our families are on board.

Your 60-second money minute. Here Come Counterfeit Pennies

There are certain passages in this book that are downright stunning to me. For instance, Paul doesn't just tell the Philippians to “rejoice in the Lord,” he tells them to “rejoice in the Lord always” (Phil. 4:4). He doesn't just say, “don't worry,” he says, “don't worry about anything” (Phil. 4:6) Now in today's passage, Paul says, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation” (Phil. 4:12)Remember, Paul isn't able to say these things because his life has been easy. Just the opposite! He faced life-threatening circumstances over and over again, all for the sake of Christ. Indeed, at the very moment he penned these words he was chained to a guard in a Roman prison. Even so, Paul had “learned the secret” of being content. What can we learn from Paul that can help us learn to be content no matter what comes our way?The Greek word Paul uses for contentment means “satisfaction with what one has; independence from all things and all people.” It's the idea of not needing anything, anyone, or any change in the circumstances in order to be at peace.But how do you get there?  In Paul's day, as in ours, there were two philosophies that people followed to ease their discontent. Counterfeit contentment, you could say. Contentment isn't a matter of giving in to stoicism. Stoicism believes the goal is to get rid of desire, to eliminate emotion. In other words, to simply not care. In today's parlance, the watchword would be “whatever.” “My job's been eliminated. Whatever. I don't care.”But this is not what Paul is talking about.Contentment isn't a matter of turning in to self-sufficiency. This is the philosophy of the Cynics. One of their beliefs is to trust no one but yourself. The problem with that is, the only resources you have are the ones you can muster up, and when those run out, you're out of luck. That's why Cynics are seldom content; they're bitter.So, what's Paul's secret? It's found in verse 13. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."This is one of the most popular verses in the Bible, used as motivation by athletes and millions of others facing challenging situations. But we would do well to understand that the original context of these words has to do with learning to be content.  What they remind us is that…Contentment is a matter of leaning in to divine sovereignty. Paul's contentment was anchored in His awareness that Christ was enough and that his life was controlled by a sovereign God who worked all things together for our good and His glory.Here are some actions steps that can help us when discontentment creeps in.Ponder: thank God for all that you do have. Discontentment is largely triggered by ingratitude. Instead of focusing on what isn't, thank God for what is. One of the secrets of contentment is gratitude.Wonder: ask yourself what God might be up to. God is always at work. What might He want you to learn about Him, about you? How might He use these circumstances for the greater progress of the gospel?Surrender: trust God's heart rather than your understanding.  There will be times when God's actions baffle us. In those moments, we much surrender our need to understand the situation and fall back on what you know is true about God – His character and love for you.  Text: Philippians 4:10-13, 2 Corinthians 11:23-28; 12:7-12Originally recorded on February 1, 2009, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

In this episode, Danny and Emily take a hard look at the growing trend of so-called "natural" and "non-addictive" alternatives to real recovery and healing — think microdosing mushrooms, ketamine therapy, kratom, psychedelics, and more. These substances are marketed as healing tools for trauma, anxiety, and addiction. They're often labeled as safe, non-habit-forming, and even therapeutic — but the truth is, they're becoming modern-day counterfeits for true healing and long term recovery. Many people turn to these as replacements for actual treatment, unknowingly trading one false solution for another.
